Holiday Observance
At Chachmey Lublin
Services, Auxiliary Luncheon
and Students' Affairs on
Simchas Torah Program
---
A Simchas Beth Ha-Shoeva cel-
ebration will take place Monday
evening in the Yeshivah Chach-
mey Lublin building. The stu-
dents have prepared an enter-
taining and traditional holiday
program. They invite the youth
of Detroit to participate in this
festival.
Services for Simchas Torah
will take place in the new Syn-
agogue of the Yeshivah with the
participation of students who
will provide an atmosphere of
Chasidic enthusiasm of dancing
and singing in honor of the To-
rah. The public is invited.
Continuing the Simchas Torah
atmosphere the Ladies' Auxiliary
of the Yeshivah will sponsor a
luncheon Sunday, Oct. 24, dur-
ing the late afternoon and eve-
ning, in the Yeshivah building
for members and friends of the
Yeshivah. Mrs. D. Silverstein,
president, extends an invitation
to the public. Heading the lun-
cheon committee are Mesdames
I. M. Faxstin, D. Goldberg, J.
Levenson and I. Rosin.
The first edition of the newly
formed students' monthly bul-
letin, "Student's View of Y.C.H.
L.", edited by the students un-
der Manual Freed, assisted by
Nelson H. Merzel and Simon I.
Kreisler, will appear during the
holiday season.
ate schools wherever there are
Jews.
Requesting that the statement
be read during services on Shmi-
ni Atzeret next Thursday morn-
ing, the conference points to the
heritage of Israel and to the ne-
cessity of strengthening the syn-
agogue and Jewish school. The
statement declares:
"It is for this worthy cause
that we appeal to you at this
solemn hour. Help us to help you.
Our plan for a Circuit Rabbinate,
already well on the way, can be
effective only if it has the sup-
port of all Jews throughout the
state. It must become their res-
ponsibility, financially and mor-
ally. Every Jew in Michigan must
become concerned with the Jew-
ish future of his fellow Jews in
the small places, or he, too, is
guilty if they alienate themselv-
es more and more from the tra-
ditions of their fathers. Our
brethren and sisters in the small
communities want to live as
Jews, want to know about Juda-
ism, its past and present, want
to participate in Jewish life.
They cannot help themselves
because they are too few in num-
ber. They look forward to our
help. Don't let us disappoint
them. We have started to stretch
out a helping hand to them;
this hand must not be with-
drawn. So let us pull all our re-
sources to keep up a Circuit Rab-
binate for the small congrega-
tions in our state. This will be
the greatest tribute we can pay
to our saintly parents, for whom
no sacrifice was too great to
carry our sacred heritage to all
corners of the world."
Dr. S. S. Auerbach, who is
temporarily making Port Huron
his headquarters, is acting di-
rector for the proposed Circuit
Rabbinate for Michigan.

Yet a British White Paper of
1939 forbids further Jewish im-
migration into Palestine after
1944."
Note is taken of the fact that
"the prospering of Palestine in
the past 20 years has attracted
and enriched the Arabs. Many
far-sighted Arabs see an indus-
trial Jewish Palestine as a nat-
ural bridge between the Chris-
tian West and the Moslem Mid-
dle East, which is now one of
the world's major dead ends.

minent in youth activities in De-

Petty Irritations
With regard to "Arab Jewish
Relations," Life states: "The
relations between the Jews and
the Arabs in Palestine are occa-
sionally scarred by violence, but
more often are marked by petty
irritations. Most of the Jews get
along with most of the Arabs.
Each has its extremist g r o up
spoiling for a showdown fight."
