4 Purim Parties

Colorful Celebrations Held
Saturday and Sunday by
All Sectiohs

Four Purim parties were held
by the various sections of the
Temple Beth El Religious School
last Saturday and Sunday.
The Junior high school cele-
bration was featured by a lunch-
eon Saturday, which followed the
presentation of the Purim play
"Mordecai's Cousin," by Abelson.
Movies were shown and skits
were presented by the individual
classes.
On Sunday morning the inter-
mediate department held a party
and program presented by the
various classes, after seeing the
traditional Purim play, "Evelyn
Dreams of Purim," by Joseph
Leiser.
Meeting in the Men's Club
Room, the high school students
participated in the reading of the
Megillah after which records
were played to the accompani-
ment of the munching on Haman-
taschen.
The most colorful celebration
was in the afternoon, when the
children of the Primary depart-
ment assembled in their multi-
colored costumes for the annual
masquerade. Purim songs, a play,
movies, a talk by Bob Hall and
a costume parade as well as ice
cream cones and Hamantaschen
helped to make this celebration
enjoyable for the youngsters.
The class with the most chil-
dren in costumes were the kin-
dergarten grades of which Mrs.
Louis Panush and Mrs. Lee
Alexander are the teachers. Their
prize was a picture taken of the
entire class.

Points to Synagogue
As Citadel for Jews
In the World Crisis

Rabbi Eisendrath Makes Sig-
nificant Statement on Ac-
cepting U.A.H.C. Post

Rabbi Maurice N. Eisendrath,
of Holy Blossom Temple, To-
ronto, has assumed the post of
director of the Union of Ameri-
can Hebrew Congregations, for
the duration of the war. The
announcement was made by
Adolph Rosenberg, chairman of
the executive board of the Union.
In accepting the call to head
the Union in these critical war-
years, Rabbi Eisendrath, outstand-
ing leader of Canadian Jewry,
and in the forefront of Canada's
national life since coming to To-
ronto in 1929, declared after his
election: "The most significant
task in Jewry today is to sustain
and strengthen the traditional
citadel of our faith, The Syna ,,
gogue. I say this in full recogni-
tion of the many other consuming
labors which confront us in the
embattled household of Israel;
the rescuing of our perishing
brethren from their many houses
of bondage, the upbuilding of
Zion and the reconstruction of
our Jewish life in so many re-
gions of the earth. But above
all, it must be remembered that
it is 'by the spirit' that Israel
shall prevail."

minor essentials to the over-
worked physician. Do your part
in aiding him. Keep your health
by sane living. Call on him only
if necessary. Go to him if pos-

sible. And follow his instruc-
tions implicitly. You'll be help-

ing him as well as helping a
