Jewish Youth's

Rabino Art Exhibit at the Center

LISTENING
POST

For the last few days we've
been seeing khaki spots in front
of our eyes, and almost every
object seems to have a khaki hue
about it. Stripes have lined our
eyes so much that all we need
now is a number and a cage.

Dear Boys and Girls:
If it were not for the war, your
parents would be treating you
next Thursday to fruits similar
to those grown in Palestine. Figs,
dates, St. John's bread and other
delicacies are customarily served
on Hamisho Osor b'Shevat, which
will be observed next Thursday
as our Arbor Day. But it is diffi-
cult to obtain these fruits now,
and they will have to be rationed.
But the spirit of the holiday,
which is also known as the New
Year for the Trees in Palestine,
will nevertheless be felt in our
homes and schools.
It is remarkable that our
people, having been removed
from the soil for 2,000 years,
should cling to festivals which re-
flect our love for agriculture and
for productiveness that goes with
farming.
Perhaps that is the reason why
our new farmers, in Palestine, in
Russia and in this country, are
so happy over their return to
agricultural pursuits.
I hope you will all enjoy your
Hamisho Osor b'Shevat celebra-
tion.
UNCLE DANIEL.

Hamisho Osor b'Shevat
In his interesting boci,k "A
Treasure Hunt in Judaism," (a
Hebrew Publishing Co. volume),
Harold P. Smith describes the
next holiday on our calendar as
follows:
"Hamisho Osor b'Shevat; the
15th day of the month of Shevat,
is known in Hebrew as Rosh
Hashanah Lellonoth, the New
Year for Trees. Jewish people
like trees. Our rabbis tell us we
should not live in a city where
there are no trees or gardens.
And, indeed, in modern Palestine,
trees have played an important
role in the rebuilding of the
country. The land would have
been impossible to live in be-
cause of the malaria-breeding
swamps, until the Jews discov-
ered that certain kinds of trees,
especially the eucalyptus, had the
effect of draining the swamps and
also preventing erosion of the

soil. (For this reason the Arabs
often call the eucalyptus the
'Jew tree.') All this is, of course,
beside the fact that trees beau-
tify the country and provide
lumber for building houses.
"In Palestine Jewish children
hold a beautiful Planting Cere-
mony and Pageant on Hamisho
Osor. American Jewish children
celebrate by contributing to the
Jewish National Fund, which
plants trees in Palestine, and by
eating various kinds of fruits that
grow in Eretz Yisroel, such as
figs, dates, pomegranates, and
`bokser,' or carobs. These taste
especially good in group parties,
and I suggest that on Hamisho
Osor you plan an elaborate class
party."

A Letter from a Young Reader
Dear Uncle Daniel:
Monday I went to Sid's store to
buy some candy. I got as prize a
V pin with the on it. I took
it with me to the Bagley Hebrew
School and found that it had the
mark of Japan on it. I threw it
away. I don't think it is Sid's
fault because he is a good Amer-
ican.
