A Mighty 'Shehechayanu
Sets Stage for a New Year
By the Oak-Woodser
Few of the 740 congregants
did not have moisture in their
eyes, and there was none with-
out a lump welling up in his
throat as solemn prayers came
forth from Oak Park's Cong.
•Beth Shalom this Rosh', Ha-
shanah.
In unison the congregation
rose at the close of the service
to recite the traditional She-
hechayanu (the prayer which
offers thanks unto the Lord
for letting us live to see this
day). It was uttered with un-
mistakably strong feeling.
The congregation rose on an
earthen floor; their words spill-
ed forth through windows
which had not yet beeri filled
with glass; the entire service
was held in a building that
was not bricked.
Soon — probably 'within an-
other few months--7there will
stand the first wing of a beau-
tiful new synagogue, another
addition to our growing subur-
ban community.
But on Rosh Hashanah, ow-
ing to heavy rains and the
steel strike, the building was
still a shell. Yet the congre-
gation decided, to hold serv-
ices here, and afterward, ev-
eryone was happy with the
decision.
Rabbi Mordecai S. Halpern,
spiritual leader of Cong. Beth
Shalom, was guided by the in-
tricacies of erecting a building
to preach his first-day sermon
on "Symphony of Steel," in
which he compared this to the
complexities arising from life
and the necessity for striving
for a total Jewish life.
During the day before Rosh
Hashanah began, the interior
of the synagogue had been clut-
tered with bricks, cement and•
rubble left by the workmen.
A group of workers from the
Men's Club left their work ear-
ly to clear away the debris, to
smoothe out holes made by
heavy, building machinery and
to spread out about 20 carpets
for the comfort of worshippers.
During a month's intensive
