ROSH HASHONAII is the day
Judgment is passed
Upon the acts of all man-

kind—.
We pray for forgiveness if we

have sinned — It's God's
help
that we must find.

We pray for peace and happiness
upon the entire earth.

For man to share his valued stay
For all that he is worth.

We offer a prayer and sing a
song,
on this our holiday.
To repent for our sins if we

were wrong,

To be forgiven if we may.

The congregations are gathered—
At our Synagogues far and
near.
To listrn to the blowing of our
Shofar, to bring in a Happy
Neu, Year.

NO PROSE of ours could bet-
ter express the feeling that is
shared by the Jews of the world
than this poem •
by
Centralite
Len J. Ostrow
who has writ-
ten this espe-
cially for our
column.
We would
only like to
add a word of
thanks that we
feel is shared
by every Jew-
Helen
ish youth in America, for living
in this country, for being able
to attend the church of our
choice and for being able to
work hand in hand with the
fighting youth of Israel.
In this coming year you will
follow the Jewish tradition in
many ways, you will attend the
Synagogues and you will join'
your groups in singing the Jew-
ish songs we love.
Soon you may help to build a
Succah and then you will re-
member the harvest that is be-
ing gathered for the first time in
hundreds of years from the soil
of a Jewish State.

NO MATTER if you are a
Zionist or not, the realization
that a New Year is coming to
a new land is something that
each of you should thank the
Almighty God for on this, your
Holy Day.
Indeed none of us should give
up the sacred privilege of at-
tending our Synagogues and
Temples. None of us will forget
that feeling of awe and peace
that comes with the blowing of
the age-old Shofar.
This past year has brought new
labors in behalf of Israel. We
no longer read about the work
of the young Chalutzim. Instead
many of our friends speak of
their experiences at the various
training farms in. the United
States in preparation for living
in their new land.
A few weeks ago there was a

tragic accident, an accident which
happened to a truckload of young
fighters, workers of the soil. Two
of Detroit's top Habonim mem-
bers, Gilda Partrite and Dave
Levine, were laid to rest for the
last time.
Their thoughts were on Israel
when their truck overturned on
its way to California for a final
training period.
Aaron "Hank" Shreier, Ruth
Ann Marks and Bernie Shreier
are some in the group who were
injured but who are here to con-
tinue the job which their friends
had to leave so suddenly.

THE REST of us are here to
back Israel in every way. Maybe
we can not go to Palestine, but
in the year ahead we can con-
tribute to worthy causes, our
time and money.
We can do another thing and
that is to help to prove to
America, and the United Nations
that the Jewish generation of
tomorrow is worthy of its new
State.
This weekend we can give
thanks to God for two great na-
tions and we can pray for His
guidance to protect the ideals of
America and Israel.

PERFORM A "MITZVAH"

FOR THE NEW YEAR

Not only a happy New Year, but a happier
New Year may be assured by doing good
deeds. "Yizkor" (Remembrance) should be
not only for our own departed loved ones,
but for all our co-religionists who have

at least $4,500 a year'to keep the grounds
from reverting to their former shameful
condition.

The Beth Olam Cemetery Associaticin has
no funds on which it can draw. Its work
is dependent entirely on voluntary con-
tributions from you whose dear ones are
buried there and you members of Detroit's
Jewish community who accept your obliga-
tion to keep our oldest Jewish cemetery a
place of peaceful beauty. Without your
contributions, maintenance of Beth Olam
cemetery must be abandoned.

You can have the satisfaction of perform-
ing a genuine Mitzvah and remembering
the fellow Jews who were pioneers in our
community by sending a donation to the
Beth Olam (Smith St.) Cemetery . Associa-
tion.

Your donation will go toward maintenance
of the Beth Olam Cemetery grounds, now
orderly and beautiful after years of shame-
ful neglect.

It is not too late to perform this Mitzvah
for the New Year. With the approach of
the High Holy Days, you can achieve the
inner satisfaction of performing a good
deed by helping along this worthy work.

To restore Beth Olam to beauty and order
took two years of intensive effort by a
civic-mindeci ,group of men who resolved
that this hallowed ground must once again
be made a fitting resting place for our
honored dead. To date, their self-imposed
task has cost over $15,000. It will cost
