Leib the Pious Singled Out for Loneliness

By DANIEL L. TICKTON

As I was sitting on my front
porch on a sunny Sabbath after-
noon a man walked up to me.
After sitting down on a folda-
ble chair, he introduced him-
self as Moshe and shook my
hand with a friendly sholom. "I
hope you don't mind me sitting
here like this, but I am some-
what gloomy today and would
like a few minutes with you."
He continued, "G—d said we
should rest on the Sabbath. Sit-
ting at home wasting time is no
rest. I could rest better if a
had a shul, but there isn't a
shul within a mile.
"At my shul were my hopes
and my moments of recreation.
My most enjoyable times were
Friday evenings and Saturdays.
We used to exchange stories
there before the prayers and
also during Saturday afternoons
just for friendliness before our
studies of the Talmud with our
shamosh (sexton)."
"Gradually the neighborhood
changed. The rich Jews moved
away, and others followed is liv-
ing conditions became too upset-
ting for them. Yet, we always
had our daily minyonim" (quor-
ums) "three times a day and
many more on Sabbaths and
holidays. Last year on the High
Holidays the shul was packed;
I don't know where all the peo-
ple came from; why, all the
seats were sold out.
"Besides, our shul's president,
Reb. Leib the Pious, told us
again and again that as long as
he was head of the shul (and no
one figured to replace him) our
shul shall never be sold to kir-
chen" (churches). "We w i 11
rather dismantle it brickwise or
at least will sell it to a beer
garden only, and at a good price
at that; maybe in 1964, no
sooner."
After a brief pause, my story
teller Moshe continued, "You
know, my friend, in a shul when-
ever there is something good
there is a counterfeit; Every-
thing was going along seemingly
well when suddenly the news
came that the shul had been sold.
"Yes, I thought that I was
all set for the High Holy days,
Sukkot (Tabernacles), "and even
till after Passover." But my shul
was sold over night, and we had
to move out within a week's
time. This feeling of deep shock
will not wear off quickly.
"On the very next Sunday's
morning after the Sabbath for
mevorechim hachodesh" (bles-
sing for the new month) "for
Tammuz, during which we had
prayed and had had our studies,
all the shades were pulled down,
the large windows were plas-
tered, the Torahs were removed
and the Stars of David were
scratched out, and, instead, a
new sign with a cross, lehavdel"
(to differentiate (an expression
of disgust and frustration)),
"was replaced over the en-
trance."
When my visitor continued,
after a few moments, his voice
became very low. "We were told
that it was sold to a beer garden

Sukenic Announces
N.W. Young Israel
Youth Activities

Fall youth group activities at
Northwest Young ISrael will
include a Sabbath story hour,
eight youth groups and an arts
and crafts program, according
to Norman B. Sukenic, presi-
dent.
Sabbath story hour meets
3 p.m., Saturdays, at 17376
Wyoming. Children, 4-5, are
invited to attend the program
under the direction of Mrs.
Hadassah Prero and B 1 u m a
Shoenig. Other youth groups
meet for 6-16 year olds, accord-
ing to Rabbi Samuel H. Prero.
Mrs. Lillian Feldstein leads
an arts and crafts activity from
2 until 4 p.m. Sundays. Messers
Nathan Butrimovitz, Frank
Loewenberg and Arthur Selman
are on the program committee.

at a fancy price. There was only
one loophole: whoever had
bought it for a beer garden
resold it to a Negro kircheh"
(church). From the shul's presi-
dent's viewpoint, the shul's re-
sale was a great lucrative deal
if put through. Now, there would
be enough money to build a new
shul far away and next to other

seems as though the Divine
Providence singled me out for
loneliness, and it is too much
for me. Is there a hiding place
for the conscience?
"Some of the most pious peo-
ple I've known have also been
the most parsimonious, perhaps
on account of the theory that if
they place their trust in G—d
shulen" (synagogues.)
they don't have to place any in
"Of all human inventions the their fellow men. . . ." I sym
most worthless is an excuse. It pathize with him.
