When first published by Har-
vard University Press, "Kib-
butz—Venture in Utopia," by
Melford E. Spiro, attracted wide
attention. This book, too, now
is among the valuable Schocken
paperbacks.
Another important paperback
just issued is "Faith and Rea-
son—An Introduction to Mod-
ern Jewish Thought," by Prof.
Samuel Hugo Bergman, trans-
lated and edited by Alfred
Jospe. This paperback, also a
former Bnai Brith Hillel Foun-
dations publication, contains the
author's lectures on Rav Kook,
Franz Rosenzweig, Hermann
Cohen, Martin Buber, Judah
Leib Magnes.

treasure list is offered in the
paperbacks published jointly by
the Jewish Publication Society
and the Meridian Books of the
World Publishing Co., which
have been issuing the JPS clas-
sics in popularly-proccesed edi-
tions.
The encyclopedic volume, "A

whose selections attest to note-
worthy scholarship, will for a
long time hold a place of honor

Arthur P. Jacobs, a 41-year-
old native of Los Angeles, has
joined the ranks of motion pic-
ture producers bowing with a
five-million dollar musical extra-
vaganza, "What A Way To Go,"
directed by J. Lee Thompson
(Academy-Award nomi.1:.2e for
"The Guns of Navarone") and
starring Shirley MacLaine, Paul
Newman, Robert Mitchum. Dean
Martin, Gene Kelly and Dick
Van Dyke.
We met the self-made motion
picture executive at a swanky
cocktail reception given at
Twentieth Century-Fox Studios
in Beverly Hills where the film
is now in production. Every-
thing was laid out in "pink," as
some of the fantastic sets to
the movie are too — everything
seems to be seen through "rose-
colored" glasses to put the great
American public in a joyous,
carefree spirit.
Arthur P. Jacobs is in the
"pink," too. As head of one of
the world's largest motion pic-
ture firms, he had at one time
in • his stable of clients such
luminaries as Princess Grace of
Monaco, Shelley Winters, Mar-
lene Dietrich, Judy Garland,
Rock Hudson, Richard Burton,
Gregory Peck, Jimmy Stewart
and the late Marilyn Monroe.
After majoring in cinema at the
University of Southern Cali-
fornia, Jacobs had started his
career as a messenger boy at
MGM. A wizard in public rela-
tions, he was, 10 years later,
publicity adviser to such nota-
bles as David 0. Selznick,
Samuel Goldwyn, Alan J a y
Lerner, Frederick Loewe, Le-
land Hayward and Fred Zinne-
mann.
The meteoric career of the
young man really got started
when Jacobs in 1945 at the ripe
age of 23 was elevated to MGM's
publicity department where he
stayed for only two years to join
Warner Bros. In a somewhat
more important position in the
same genre. In 1949, the ambi-
tious Arthur Jacobs formed his
own public relations firm which
became an ingredient of the
press agent empire of the cine-
ma, ruled over by a very few—
but steering the taste—the likes
and dislikes, of the movie-going
world public almost at will.

ciety will hold an executive

The Traditional greeting of "L'shono Tovo Tikosevu" serves to remind us that the
Jewish New Year starts with the Yomim Naroim, the Days of Awe. Our sacred tradition
indicates that these ten days, starting with Rosh Hashono and concluding with Yom
Kippur, are a period set aside for self-reflection, soul searching, and repentance; during
these days we must look at ourselves, examine our shortcomings, and mend our ways.
All of us, each in his own way and together as a community, must turn from our errors
and approach the Divine way of life.
In times like these when selfishness and falsehood are all around us, when immorality
and crime are rampant, when wickedness and sensuality are found everywhere, we call
upon all Jewish men and women in our community to return to the ways of the
righteousness and truth as revealed by our sacred heritage and tradition, as handed
down from generation to generation. We want to remind our brothers and sisters that
the fundamental elements of our faith include Kashruth, Jewish education, Shabbos,
and Taharas Hamishpoche. The sanctifying influence of each of these basic elements
has preserved and protected our people during many trying and thratening periods
in our history and will continue to do so. In addition each of these basic elements
of our faith has a particular function in these difficult days:
1. A Jewish home without a kosher kitchen is an empty shell. Influence your children
to continue Jewish traditions by demonstrating Jewish life in the home. Buy meat
only from kosher meat markets that display the kosher sign of the Vaad Harabonim
of Detroit; a butcher without this sign is not under rabbinical supervision and can-
not be depended upon.
2. A party or reception in a non-kosher establishment is a travesty on Jewish life.
Events with a deep spiritual significance, like Bar Mitzvahs and weddings, deteriorate
into ordinary merrimaking when the minimum requirements of Jewish tradition
are not met with. We hope that you will be blessed with many "simchas" during
the coming year, but make sure to plan your affair at a kosher caterer who is under
our supervision; others cannot serve kosher meals. Demonstrate your faith in Jewish
life by not attending any parties in non-kosher establishments.
3. Organizational dinners that do not serve kosher meals are a disgrace to our com-
munity. Even milchige meals in a non-kosher restaurant are trefe. We appeal to
every organization and institution in the Jewish community to uphold this funda-
mental aspect of Jewish life.
4. We cannot expect our children to remain loyal and true Jews without receiving a
maximum Jewish education. Intermarriage, illegitimacy, and juvenile delinquency
are tragic problems that are not present among children raised in Torah-true schools,
Send your children and grandchildren to a yeshiva.
5. We are distressed that all too frequently our sacred Sabbath has become just an-
other weekday. Jewish life without Shabbos is impossible—even in America. Observe
the Shabbos!
6. At a time when sex scandals are featured almost daily in the press we reemphasize
the spiritual and social benefits of our family purity laws. Family life that is based
upon sanctity is not exposed to the tragic forces that disrupt so many families today.
Observe the laws of Tahara Hamishpoche.
The Council of Orthodox Rabbis appeals to all Detroit Jews: utilize the Days of Awe
to examine your life, to correct your ways, and to restore Jewish life to its pristine
glory.
In this spirit we pray that your prayers will be received by the Almighty, that you
and yours will be inscribed and sealed into the Book of Life.
