QUESTION: Do you approve of
the growing tendency among
Jews to spread throughout the
city rather than settle in defi-
nite Jewish neighborhoods?

MRS. BERNARD ROTIISTEIN,
19311 Cherrylawn avenue, house-
wife.
Although I enjoy living in a def-
inite ,Jewish neighborhood, I do
not see any harm in Jews spread-
ing throughout
the city. I am
inclined to feel
that it is not
good for any
racial group to
segregate itself
In one section
of town.
It is because
of this that mi-
nority peoples,
especially Jews,
are subjected to criticism. They
stick to themselves, and in doing
so, fail to erase the ignorant
conceptions non-Jews have of
them.
On the other hand, many Jews
would not feel comfortable in a
neighborhood that is not predom-
inantly Jewish. There is no use
suggesting that they should give
up their happiness by removing
themselves from their Jewish en-
vironment.

Thirty-six Jewish prisoners cel-
ebrated the traditional feast of
Jewish emancipation within the
walls of America's largest prison
last week ,with Rabbi Joshua
Sperka of Bind David, Jewish
chaplain, and Warden Ralph Ben
son as hosts.
Rabbi Sperka and his committee
traveled to the Michigan State
Prison of Southern Michigan in
Jacksoji to give the Jewish in-
mates there a brief taste of home
at a Seder service.
Rabbi Sperka conducted the cere-
monies just as he would have
in his own synagogue. Laughter
greeted his dividing the middle

This is not a question that
should be confined to Jews alone
but to all peoples. Each person
should d et e r-
mine where he
would enjoy
living most and
no restrictions
should be put
up to hamper
his choice.
I have lived
in all parts of
the country and
have never felt
uncomfortab 1 e
in a non-Jewish neighborhood. It is
not necessary for • Jews to settle
in one section of the city in order
to maintain a Jewish community.
All humans have the same ba-
sic desires—to be healthy and
happy. Ghetto-like neighborhoods
create artificial lines and as such
can be undesirable.

Definitely! I do not believe in
segregation, whether imposed
from without or within.
Individu a 1 s
should not be
afraid of com-
ing in contact
and living with
groups other
than that to
which they be-
long. It is not
good f or any
race to stick to
one neighbor- a „- 4, sky`
hood.

A great deal of anti-Semitism
has stemmed from just this thing.
Jews are often mistrusted solely
on the grounds that they stick to-
gether so much.
This should not be the case but
persons who do not know each
other are vulnerable targets for all
kinds of lies.

SAM SALIKOWITZ, 3809 Glen-
dale avenue, real estate dealer.
I think that increased contact
between Jew and non-Jew would
help build goodwill between the
two groups.
Personal c o n -
tact is one of
the best ways
of spreading
brotherharid.
But to do
this, it is not
necessary f o r
Jews to spread
out rather than
live in a Jew-
i s h neighbor-
hood. This intermingling might
overstep its purpose of fostering
goodwill. Sometimes too much of
a thing is worse than too little.
Members of different groups
who are quick to seek out the
faults of others would be aided
by this excessive contact. I do
not approve of the speed with
