Well Done The Fifth Annual Dinner and Meeting of Temple Israel which celebrated the Jubilee Year of Rabbi Leon Fram was an expression of felicitation and congratu- lation to a preacher and teacher who is well deserving of the plaudits and grati- tude of his community. Religion is divided into three separate and distinct parts. There is the part de- voted to ritual, prayers, services, holidays, customs and the like. Then there is the part devoted to philosophy, the relation- ship between human beings and the One they worship, the tie between man and his God. Last but definitely not least, there is the field of ethics, the science of moral duty, the science of the ideal hu- man character, the understanding and practice of how to live a good life. Ritual and philosophy have long been left alone in the hands of religious lead- ers. They are too abstruse for the ordin- ary layman and, important as these are, they are well left alone to the preacher. In the field of human practice, how- ever, it is of the utmost importance that all the forces of religion be turned in the direction of the better life, the finer life, the life that leads ultimately to the bro- therhood of man. It is here that Rabbi Fram has given of his very best to the community and the community is grateful. His work on the Community Relations Committee of a l the Community Council, the presidency of the Zionist Organization of Detroit, the Committee on Schools of the Na- tional Commission on Jewish Education and his eminence in the work of the Detroit Round Table of Catholics, Jews and Protestants need not be further outlined. In the name of the entire community, outlined. This work is too well known we felicitate Rabbi Fram and accord him deserved honor. To him we say, "Well done, thou true and faithful servant. Well (lone."

ENFIELD Seemingy lost to the Jewish home is the lovely custom of bringing home an "Orach," a Sabbath guest, from the syna- gogue on Friday night. A generation ago in this country and from time immemorial in Europe, it was the custom of those who went to the synagogue to welcome any stranger to the city into ther homes. Hospitality of this sort was so com- mon that a Jew had no worries if he should be alone in a strange city for the weekend. Most people in this city, particularly the families of pious Jews, can well remember how the head of the family brought the Orach home for the- Sabbath meals. The custom is gone 110W. In the syna- gogue, attendance is so light that no one knows who the stranger is. Pedple who travel today are people of at least some means and do not have to rely on chance charity, however warmhearted. It is unfortunate that the custom has died out. It was a real training in hos- pitality for the children of the family. It gave all Jews a sense of responsibility for each other. A new generation is growing up to whom the Orach, the Sabbath guest is a complete stranger. And one more function of the synagogue is no more. And The Time Is Now Eliezer Shostak who spoke here some days ago under the auspices of the New Zionist Organization, put matters very bluntly in evaluating the position of the Jews in Palestine and the kind of aid they might expect from the British. • "On one side of us," he said, "there is the sea. On the other side are the Arabs. We could cope with the Arabs were it not for the constant interference of the Brit- ish who egg the Arabs on. Those Arabs who are enemies are not Palestinians. The British are our enemies. It is time for Jews to fight back, not attempt to ap 7 pease England." Shostak puts the matter bluntly but the time calls for bluntness. All these dreary months have dragged by since the Anglo- American Inquiry Commission was called into being. Jews everywhere charged that this was merely another delaying tactic and how right they were. Only the Jew can help his people. If he will not do it, then nobody will. Six million Jews were slaughtered and the world looked on. The war is long over but no attempt is being made to restore to the pitiful remnant of Jewry any part of what is rightfully theirs. Confronted with the horror of what happened to the Jews, the world chick:: sympathetically—and remains silent. In the face of imperialist British foreign policy, Jewry can expect nothing. Liter- ally nothing. There is only one solution. Britain We must get out of Palestine. Out! no more appeasing. We attempt must must make no more glean. The time has come for demands, fighting demands. And the place is not in the councils of Britain but in the halls of the United Nations. 21, 1946 Personal Problems Detroit Jewish Chronicle ) ► Friday, June DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle The Mental Condition of the Returning Veteran husband has been overseas for two years. Ile expects to "my be discharged soon. Ile was home when the baby was born. NVe missed him very much but his letters made up for some of our months there seems to be a change loneliness. In the past several I have read that in him, his letters sound restless and doubtful: many of the servicemen are coming home nervous and shaky. I am really worried about isim."-111rs. II.E. The professional gloom-spreaders have had a field (lay these past several years talking about "nervous veterans." They have pictured every serviceman as jumpy, irresponsible and some large number as insane. Nothing is further from the truth, nothing more libellous. A small number of the returning servicemen may be so afflicted but they are few and far between. Most of the men will come back and have come back generally the same individuals who left their homes. Perhaps it would be helpful to understanding what has happened if We trace back the mobilization period, when the boys left civilian life for the training camps. A few men spent their last civilian hours in wild parties. Most men did otherwise. They spent these hours with their families in serious discussion, They spent time in prayer. A few men, When they received induction notices, sold their busi- nesses, gave up their jobs and their homes. Most men waited until after the examination before taking any drastic action. Some of the hasty men had to backwater on the job, or the apartment. The Training Period Every serviceman fought his way through a strenuous period of physical training. They were subjected to the same discomforts of mud, rain, heat as they might expect in battle. They were hardened to combat duty, to the exclusion of everything else. During combat, during overseas duty, under battle, throughout the total army experience up to the end of the war, the only thought was to win the war. The successful soldier or sailor was geared to a single aim. (Continued on Page 16) Keeping the Faith In a nearby town, a movement is going on to remove from office a minister who preached a sermon calling for an end to racial discrimination. The board of trus- tees of the church have voted over- whelmingly for a change. What a travesty on religion is indicated here! If a church has one function before all others, it is to teach kindliness and love for all human beings. Yet the trus- tees are demanding a philosophy of hatred in their religion. It would have been far better if those trustees had voted to burn down their church and cut themselves off from worship altogether. They are blind to the fundamental dictates of their reli- gion. They have lost their way and have gone far afield. Fortunate it is that the bishop who has the final decision has rebuked these infi- dels with all the strength in his power. That the trustees should have succeeded in their evil would have been monstrous.

EMERGENCY FOOD COLLECTION Dear Editor: In accepting Secretary Henry Wallace's appointment as Chair- man of the Foreign Language Press Division of the Emergency Food Collection, I said: "Millions of our fellow human beings overseas are desperately hungry. Food was very scarce in every war-ravaged lan , l even before the drought and crop failures throughout Europe and Asia. But now the shortages are far worse. Thousands are dying every day. but many can he saved if every American helps all he possibly c ar, in this critical time of need." (Continued on Page 11 t For years and years we have heard the charge that when Jews "invade" a neigh- borhood it straightway becomes run down. The charge is not true. For every neighborhood where Jews formerly lived which is now a slum area, half a dozen can be found in which Jews never lived which is in equally bad condition. Neighborhoods run down because they get old. As the houses begin to decay, a type of population enters which is in a lower economic level. The new people are not, as a rule, owners and as renters, do not take the same pride as owners in the appearance of their homes. The whole area then begins to sag. It is important then that Jewish neigh- borhoods be particularly bright. Lawns must be kept up. Repairs must be made in time. Painting must be done and, above all, each place must be clean. Leatiers in each neighborhood must take upon themselves the enforcement of such a campaign. Every block should have its own committee to handle the appear- ance of the properties therein. Owners who are neglectful should be reminded. Sums of money, perhaps only pennies from each households should be gathered. From these sums, men should be hired to water lawns and trim the grass and I do minor repairs where the householders cannot give the time themselves. In Jewish neighborhoods, this is an ab- I solute necessity. So look about you. If you are an offender, reform your neigh- , bor to set the proper pattern. 1 "Whal—No Bread?"
