J.D.C. Leaders Survey the Map of Jewish Need
Our
CHILDREN'S
CORNER
Dear Boys and. Girls:
Next Monday night, you will
again be asking your parents the
traditional Four Questions with
which the children in every
household usher in the Seder.
It will be a great occasion for
all of us. There is not a more
thrilling and more impressive
holiday on the calendar of any
people.
But for many families, the
Passover will be marred this
year by the absence of one or
more sons who will be unable to
join the rest of the family in the
usual reunion because he or they
will be somewhere far away in
the service of their country.
Also, for many people the fes-
- tival will be marked by sadness
because we are engaged once
again in a struggle for freedom
for all mankind, and we must
think again, very solemnly, of
the old struggle for justice which
is repeating itself in our time.
Remember the words of the
Haggadah: "In every generation,
each Jew should regard himself
as if he too were brought out of
Egypt." •
That is exactly how we face
the Passover today. :It is as if we
are once again coming out of
Egypt, as part of the struggle to
see all mankind saved from
slavery.
Therefore, as we approach the
Passover, let us prepare to go to
the Seder table with courage and
with dignity, with hope and with
prayer, that the day of full lib-
erty for all humanity will soon
be here.
I wish you all a very, very
happy Passover.
UNCLE DANIEL.

PASSOVER ODDITIES .
In the thins near Shechem,
Palestine, the Samaritans, a
small sect, who number less than
two hundred and claim des C
- ent
from the Lost Ten Tribes of
ISrael, celebrate Passover today
as it was observed thousands of
years ago. On the eve of the fes-
tival, they assemble -on Mt.
Gerizim, attired in long, white,
flowing gowns and with due
pomp and ceremony sacrifice the
paschal lamb. A true description
of the service as it is now enact-
ed by the Samaritans is con-
tained in the Bible itself. "They
shall take to them every . man a
lamb, a lamb for a household .. .
and the whole assembly of the
congregation of Israel shall kill
it at dusk . . and thus shall ye
eat it: with your loins girded,
your shoes on your feet and your
staff in your hand; and ye shall
eat in haste . .." Before the war,

In the Middle Ages, Pesach
was the period when the Jews
were in a state of great fear due
to the libelous blood accusations.
At this time of the year, anti-
Semites would raise the hue and
cry that "Christian blood was a
necessary part of the festival
ritual." This superstitious belief
was the cause of the slaughtering
of entire Jewish communities on
Seder nights. The first open ac-
cusation recorded in history was
the case of St. William of Nor-
wich, in 1144. The most recent
blood accusation was levelled
against Mendel Beilis, a Russian
Jew, in 19113 •

In the days of the Talmud, it
was customary to bake Matzohs
in different artistic shapes and
figures. • These - forms were not
approved by many Rabbinic au-
thorities as it necessitated allow-
ing the dough to stand longer,
which might cause fermentation.
While the original purpose of
perforating the Matzohs was to
prevent them from rising, in
many instances the perforations
were utilized to form figures of
animals and flowers.

God of Might,
God of Right,
Thee- we give all glory;
Thine all praise in these days,
As in ages hoary,
When we hear, year by year,
Freedom's wondrous story.

When Thou first
Madest the proclamation,
Warning loud ev'ry proud,
'Ev'ry tyrant nation,
We, Thy fame, still proclaim,
Bend in adoration.
_Be with all
Who in thrall
To their task are driven;
In Thy power speed the hour
When their chains are riven;
Earth around will resound
Gleeful hymns to heaven.

Leaders in the religious, politi-
cal and educational life of Am-
erica have contributed to a sym-
posium, "Never Again! Ten
Years of Hitler," issued by Jew-
ish Opinion Publishing Co., 19
W. 44th St., New York.
Among those who have writ-
ten chapters are: Vice-President
Wallace, United States Secre-
tary of State Hull, Bishop Wil-
liam T. Manning, Pearl S. Buck,
Monsignor John A. Ryan, At-
torney General Biddle, William
Green, President of the AFL,
and Thomas Mann. Dr. Stephen
S. Wise is editor of the sym-
posium.
The title, "Never Again," ex-
presses the consensus of opinion
of these Americans that the bru-
talities of the Nazis against
Jews and all conquered people
must be the last such crime in
history. The symposium also
voiced the demand for action by
the United Nations in rescuing
the victims of Hitler and in
safeguarding the future of man-
kind from race and religious
hatred.
