Jewish Youth's

LISTENING

By Danny Raskin

'OW

Pray to God on Seder night
for peace
on Earth to all.
To drink our wine while Free-
dom reigns,
when then the Nazis fall.
To break our matzos and re-
call, when
Israel's children fled
To Freedom 'cross the desert
sands with
but unleavened bread.
Pray that soon the flame will
glow
and bring the World a light.
To bring, once more, a peace
on Earth—
the passing of the night.
—D.R.

TRUE SHORT STORY . . . She
has been a member in good
standing of the club for over four
years, and one of its hardest
workers. When election time
came, she was nominated for
president. The officers were re-
elected and she became peeved
—not because of losing, but be-
cause the inefficient secretary had
been chosen again, through par-
tiality.
She did not attend the next
meeting, nor the one after. The
girls blamed it on her poor
sportsmanship on not being
elected, and the secretary's re-
election, so did not bother to
contact her.
When she was absent a month,
she was automatically dropped
from the club—after the girls had
already voted her out.
The members should be inter-
ested to know that the young girl
who they had branded unsports-
manlike, has been lying, in • bed
for a month with a, broken col-
lar bone and leg.
The night of the first meeting
following election, she had hur-
ried out of the house so as not
to be late and slipped on the icy
steps.
She is hurt more, however, by
the fact that not one member has
come to see her. The silly girls
hadn't even bothered to find out.

HUMOR DEPT. . .. We dare

The lunatics in a German asy-
lum (some are actually caged)
were paid a visit by their "Super-
Luny," Adolph Schikelgruber,
and rigidly stood at attention as
he appeared, giving the Nazi sa-
lute. That is, all saluted except
one man at the end of the line.
"Ach!" screamed der fuehrer,
"Why do you not salute?" "Don't
be silly," said the man. "I'm one
of the guards here, not one of the
inmates!"
On opening a long-overdue
letter from a soldier, a girl hur-
riedly unsealed the envelope and
found only the following enclo-
sure. "Your boy friend still loves
you, but he talks too much."

Synagogue Council to Give
Pesach Program on NBC

'Tale of a City' to Be Dramatized During National Hookup
Four From Detroit Among
Sunday, Starting at Noon; Passover Message Issued
150 Who Will Help Solve
The Synagogue Council of America will broadcast a
Farm Labor Problem

Passover program over . the National Broadcasting Co. at
noon on Sunday, Dr. Israel Goldstein, president, announced
this week.
A dramatization of "Tale of a City," issued by the Office
of War Information, will be the feature of the program, dur-
ing which a brief address will be 0

delivered by Prof. Abraham A.
Neuman, president of Dropsie
College and Rabbi of Congrega-
tion Mikveh Israel of Phila-
delphia.
Joseph Schildkraut, distin-
guished actor of the stage and
screen, will be the narrator.
A Passover message was issued
by the Synagogue Council, which
represents the Orthodox, Con-
servative and Reform Rabbinical
and Congregational Organizations
of America.
Message Prepared
The message was prepared by
a committee consisting of Rabbis
Alexander A. Steinbach, Joseph
Miller and Samuel Berliant. The
message reads in part:
"The celebration of Passover
buoys us with new hope and
courage. When MosLs demanded
of Pharaoh 30 centuries ago, Let
my people go„' he enunciated a
principle that was to become the
Magna Charta of the human soul.
"He voiced the never-ending
protest against the division of
humanity into classes of master
and slave, of victor and van-
quished.
Rights Violated
"Today, whenever men are fet-
tered, whenever fundamental hu-
man rights are violated, whenever
battalions of tyranny are arrayed
against liberty-loving peoples,
there we find the spiritual heirs
of Moses demanding 'Let my peo-
ple go.'
"Pharaoh struts ever and anon
into the arena of human affairs,
striving to foist his degrading
bondage upon defenseless popu-
lations. In Babylon he was Neb-
uchadnezzar; in Syria he was
Antiochus. In Rome his name was

Hadrian and in Spain it was Tor-
quemada. In . Russia it was
Nicholas. In Germany it is Hitler.
But Moses still lives.

Roosevelt's Words

His staff has been taken up by
the United Nations, and they will
not lay it down until, as Presi-
dent Roosevelt declared at Casa-
blanca, the brutal Axis will be
beaten into unconditional sur-
render and human slavery will be
forever abolished. Then all hu-
manity will unite in a universal
Feast of Liberty that will be a
harbinger of redemption to our
agonized generation."
"This is the hopeful message
that Passover speaks to us in
these fateful days. The monstrous
legions of Fascist murderers will
decline. Powerful voices have
been raised against the inhuman
atrocities visited upon millions of
helpless Jews. The sleeping con-
science of civilization is awaken-
ing."

The Word "Amen"
Amen, "so it is," is used by
Protestants, Catholics, Jews and
Moslems in affirmation of a
prayer. It is more nearly a uni-
versal word than any other.
