In Memoriam
In loving memory of our dear
daughter and sister, Barbara
Seltzer, who passed away Dec.
16, 1947.
"Happy were the years we spent together
Lonely are our hearts today.
For the one we loved so dearly,
Has forever passed away.
No one knows how much we miss you,
No one knows the bitter pain
We have suffered since we lost you,
Life has never been the same.
In our hearts your memory lingers,
Sweetly, tender, fond and true.
There is not a day, dear Barbara,
That we do not think of you."
—Your Loving Parents
and Brother.
`The Chicago Pinkas'
"The Chicago Pinkas," con-
taining a series of articles re-
viewing the development and
history of the Chicago Jewish
community, has been published
by the Chicago College of Jew-
ish Studies on the occasion of
its 25th anniversary. Bloch Pub-
lishing Co. is distributing the
volume.
This volume is in two sections
—one in English and another in
Hebrew. The major essay deals
with Chicago's Jewish popula-
tion and shows its development
and growth. According to the
author, Erich Rosenthal, there
are approximately 300,000 Jews
in Chicago.
Reviewing other sampling
methods in arriving at the pop-
ulation figures—the name meth-
od, Yom Kippur absences from
schools, etc.—Rosenthal makes
reference to the approach in
Henry J. Meyer's 1935 study of
the Jewish population of De-
troit.
The Hebrew and Yiddish press
and publications are reviewed
historically in the Hebrew sec-
tion.
J. A. Klein Dies
MONTREAL. (JTA) — J.
Some trace this custom back to the ancient
Biblical command which required the mother
to bring a sacrifice to the Temple. Usually
a woman in the course of childbirth feels such
great pains which she expresses as regret of
her role of motherhood and even goes as far as
vowing that she will never have another child
again. After the child is born she regrets these
sentiments as she makes her peace with nature.
This calls for some means of atonement. Hence
the sacrifice in the days of the Temple, or the
visit to the synagogue in modern times.
Some find in this custom the desire to thank
the Lord for the gift of the child or the miracle
of birth. Others simply say that getting over
childbirth is comparable to getting over a serious
illness. Getting over such an illness would thus
call for a prayer of thanks to the Lord for re-
covering from a dangerous experience.
In the case of the male who is obligated to
atone or offer thanks, he himself is called be-
fore the Scroll. Since it is not customary to call
women before the Scroll, the husband represents
the wife. In addition, it leads the husband into
assuming responsibility for his wife's experiences
and the family welfare. Thus he too offers
thanks for the miracle of birth and the well
being' of his spouse.

`Joel' : Story of Jews and the American. Revolution.
An interesting chapter in Hale and Thomas Paine, who
include warriors of their own
race in their gallery of heroes,
to be able to say, "My people
have produced its brave men
equally with the Greeks and the
Romans and the English." But,
still better is it for them to feel
that these brave men drew their
courage from the purest of all
sources, from a passionate love
for their religion, from a ven-
eration for the good and the
true and the morally beautiful.
The Maccabees boldly faced
overwhelming odds, not for their
own selfish ends, but in a spirit
of self-sacrificing fidelity to the
holiest of all causes. They felt
that God was calling to them,
and they could not hold back.
the little Maccabean band was
like a rock in the midst of the
surging sea. Standing almost
alone in their day, the heroes
beat back the forces that
threatened to involve all man-
kind in a common demoraliza-
tion. They kept a corner of the
world sweet in an impure age.
They held aloft the torch of true
religion at a time when thick
darkness was covering the na-
tions.
My Dreidel
ca", by Nora Benjamin Kubie
(Harper).
Mrs. Kubie was inspired to
write this novel while doing re-
search in early American Jew-
ish history. Her Joel, she ex-
plains, "could have been" the
Minute Man on Compo Road.
The Sons of Liberty are the
heroes of her story. and among
those emerging as the inspirers
of freedom are the courageous
men of the Revolution, Nathan
ures in the story is Gershom
Mendes Seixas, who was one of
the pillars of the Spanish Port-
uguese Synagogue, the oldest in
New York.
There is romance, one with a
Christian girl, and the end is
traditional: a happy Jewish en-
gagement.
Mrs. Kubie has caught the
spirit of the time covered in
her story and has added a good
tale about the Revolution and
its heroes, Jews and non-Jews.

Come, my dreidel, my dreidel of

Dance about merrily, dance and
spin!
Go swift, go far,
And shining bright„
Find the star
Of my delight.
Come, my dreidel, merrily scale
The towering hill, and span the
vale.
Over the prairie
Dance and reel,
Light and airy,
Like a spinning Wheel.
Make way for my dreidel, his
whirl and sweep.
One step is a league, and a mile
his leap.
He's off with a bound
Like a stallion bold.
Hurrah! He has found
A mountain of gold!
Rush to the mountain! Make
way, make way!
Seize the treasure without delay!
Win it, 0
My dreidel of tin,
Before my foe
Can say, I WIN!

Sunday will be a BIG day for Israel in
every respect. It is an official BIG Day set
aside in communities throughout the • land
for the sale of bonds for the Israel govern-
ment. It is BIG in the sense that the results
of this day will mean so much for the de-
velopment of the Jewish state as an inde-
pendent entity.
Recognized as of major significance in
the creation of industrial enterprises for
Israel's economic advancement, the bond
issue is the one big project which not only
supplements United Jewish Appeal and
other funds but strengthens the economy of
the state that is being helped by phila n-
thropic enterprises.
The investment dollar is vitally needed
in Israel for the development of the Negev,
for the establishment of new industries, for
the manufacture of items that are certain to
make Israel self-supporting.
BIG Day calls to all of us—to work as
volunteers, to buy bonds, to speed the day
when Israel will not need philanthropy. By
giving our support unstintingly, we help
bring that dream nearer to reality.

'BIG Day for Israel
Why is it customary for a woman who has
just become a mother to visit the synagogue on
the Sabbath when she has fully recovered?
Tipsy, it staggered, backed, until
Down it went—my heart stood

Gimel! !Oh, joy!
Come all and see
How my spinning toy
Has won for me.
HANUKAH—ROCK OF AGES
Rock of Ages, let our song,
Praise Thy saving power;
Thou amidst the raging foes,
Wast our sheltiring tower.
Furious they assailed us,
But Thine arm availed us,
And Thy Work broke their sword,
When our own strength failed us
Thus we sing in praise of the Altnighty on Hanukah.
May this Festival bring new courage and joy to oil.
