Auerbach, then rabbi of Rodeph Sholom Congregation, Rome, Ga., to tour the smaller Jewish communities and to make a survey of condi- tions and needs. His report in- dicated that there is need for a regional director, but lack of funds prevented the augmenta- tion of the proposed program. , • This summer, Rabbi Auerbach, associated with the Bureau of Jewish Education in Cincinnati and rabbi of New Hope Congre- gation in that city, again went to Northern Michigan as "summer rabbi" of Congregation Bnai Israel in Petoskey to extend work in other congregations. His report to the Michigan Syna- gogue Conference resulted in steps to set up a permanent Cir- cuit Rabbinate.

I know that all my readers will not limit their interests to the necessary studies in the pub- lic schools, but will also devote themselves diligently to their Jewish school work. In the making of a new world, after this war, there will be im- portant problems to be solved by the Jews in behalf of their less fortunate kinsmen in the war- torn countries. To be privileged to help in solving these issues, we will have to be well informed on Jewish history and traditions. You, boys and girls, must be- gin to prepare for a day of lead- ership in Jewish life by acquir- ing the knowledge that is offered you in our schools. One of the subjects you must master is the Bible. Therefore I am printing here statements by great men of past generations on the Bible. Again I wish you all a very happy Sabbath. UNCLE DANIEL. * * * HOW BIBLE IMPRESSED MANY GREAT MEN "Above all, the pure and be- nign light of Revelation has had a meliorating influence on man- kind and increased the blessings of society."—George Washington. * * * "To the Bible men will return, and why? Because they cannot do without it." — Matthew Ar- nold. * * * "When you have read the Bible you will know that it is the word of God, because you will have found it the key to your own heart, your own hap- piness, your own duty."—Wood- row Wilson. * * * "So great is my veneration for the Bible that the earlier my children begin to read it, the more confident will be my hope that they will prove useful citi- It is pointed out that 15 years ago, congregations in Northern Michigan were orthodox, some having schochtim, including Es- canaba, Iron River, Petoskey and Traverse City. Later, when many Jews in these communities moved else- where, some of the communities found it difficult to maintain teachers and schochtim. Only on Yahrzeits and Holy Days were Minyanim organized. The Circuit Rabbinate is intended to solve this problem. To Visit Communities Congregations to be served by the Circuit Rabbinate will in- clude Alpena, Petoskey, Port Huron, Traverse City, Boyne City, Cadillac, Charlevoix, Har- bor Springs, Ludington, Manis- tee and Rogers City. Working out of Port Huron during the year, and from Pe- toskey during the summer, the rabbi will visit the various com- munities and will assist them in their religious and educational work. A. E.
