Sound of GI Shofar Spans the Years A friend conversing with Rabbi Judah asked him: "In the future world, when the soul comes before the Almighty for judgment, may it not find a plea of excuse for worldly wicked- ness in saying: "Lo. the sin is the body's; I am now free from the body; the sins were not mine?" Rabbi Judah answered: "Let me tell you a parable: a king had an orchard of fine figs, which he prized most highly. That the fruit might not be stolen or abused, he placed two watchers in the orchard; that they themselves might not be tempted to partake of the fruit, he chose a blind man and a lame man." "But lo, when they were in the orchard, the lame man said to his companion: "I see fine figs, luscious and tempting. Carry me, to tte tree so that we both may enjoy them." So said, so done: the blind man carried the lame man, and they ate of the figs. When the king entered the orchard, he noticed at once that his finest figs were missing and he asked the watchers what had become of them. The blind man answered promptly: "I know not. I could not steal them. I'm blind, I could not even see them." And the lame man said: "Neither could I have stolen them. How could I approach the tree?"

Held in the YMCA hut at Chaumont, France, in 1918, the service was conducted by Rabbi Jacob Kohn, of New York, who was sent overseas by the National Jewish Welfare Board. Below, the Jewish chap- lain with the U.S. Army in Verdun, France, shows a group of today's French Jewish youngsters the shofar which he used in a joint Rosh Hashanah service for their parents and Ameri- can GIs in the community synagogue. JWB's Commission on Jewish Chaplaincy recruits, endorses and serves Jewish chap- lains in all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Jewish military chaplaincy, celebrating the signing of a law by President Lincoln which first permitted rabbis to serve as Jewish chaplains. 1121-12T1 r'12Z5 WEISSMAN EXCAVATING COMPANY Commercial & Residential Excavating Fuel Oil and Gas Tanks Installed Sewers - Bulldozing - Fill Sand - Fill Dirt KE 3-2660 15496 Telegraph, Redford Happy New Year to Our Friends of the Jewish Faith THE VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA r king was wise and said: "The blind man carried the lame." And he punished them severely. So it is with us. The world is the orchard in which the Eternal King has placed us to keep watch and ward, to till the soil and care for its fruit. But the soul and body are the man; if one violates the com- mandments, so does the other. After death the soul may not say: "It is the fault of the body to which I was tied that I com- mitted sins." No. God will do as the king, as it is written: "He shall call from the heav- ens above, and to the earth to judge his people. He shall call from the heavens above, which is the soul and to the earth below,.which is the body mixing with the dust from which it sprung." For Jewish spirituality com- bines heaven and earth, as it were. It does not separate soul from body or mind from nature, but understands man and his- tory in the unity of man's phys- ical and spiritual life. HAPPY NEW YEAR AUTO CITY GLASS CO.
