Gordis Describes Separation Idea

as Having Aided Religion in U.S.
Dr. Robert Gordis, noted
scholar and leader in the Ameri-
can Conservative Judaism move-
ment, in the opening lecture in
the Scholar Series, at Temple
Beth El, Monday night, declared
that "by virtue of the Separa-
tion Doctrine America was spar-
ed the ravages and disasters
that struck European countries."
Strongly endorsing the recent
Supreme Court decisions barring
religious prayers from the pub-
lic schools, Dr. Gordis said that
thanks_ to the First Amendment
which separates church and
state activities "we have avoided
religious' antagonisms Which
have affected other lands." He
said that -instead of harming re-
ligion the Separation principle
has made this country more re-
ligious than others and "has
helped prevent the rise of anti-
clerical movements which have
been common phenomena in
Europe."
He emphasized that religion
is far stronger here than in
Europe, where it was part of
government, because here "it
depends on itself." He added:
"Thus, not only has the state
been well served here, but re-
ligion as a voluntary agency
has been advanced."
The mere introduction of re-
ligion into the schools brings a
host of problems, he warned,
and declared that "there can be
no freedom of religion unless
there also is freedom from re-
ligion."
If brought into the schools,
religion is in danger of becom-
ing an "empty etiquette," he
said, because "you can not make
people religious in spite of
themselves."
Dr. Gordis opposed the exten-
tion of federal aid to parochial
schools. He said that those who
seek specialized and additional
training in parochial and Day
Schools "should be prepared
themselves to pay for it."
Dr. Gordis was introduced by
Dr. Richard C. Hertz, rabbi of
Temple Beth El, who, in pre-
liminary remarks, reviewed the
events that led up to the recent
Supreme Court decisions.
Dr. Harry M. Orlinsky will be
next Monday night's speaker in
the Beth El Scholar Series.

U.S., Israel Reach
Export Agreement
JERUSALEM (J T A) — An
agreement in principle was
reached here between a United
States Government trade mis-
sion and the Israel government,
covering the export of Israeli
cotton to the United States. The
arrangement covers the remain-
ing four years of an existing
American-Israeli pact in which
the United States had placed
limitations on the purchase of
Israeli cotton fibers and rain-
coats.
The 21st annual commemora-
tion of the Warsaw Ghetto upris-
ing will be held on March 22,
1964. The 16th anniversary cele-
bration of Israel's Independence
will be held on April 19, 1964.
Announcement of the dates was
made by Sidney M. Shevitz, pre-
sident of the Jewish Community
Council, and by Rabbi Leon
Fram, chairman of the Zionist
Council.
Organizations are urged to re-
serve those dates and to advise
their membership to participate
in these major community-wide
functions.

Twins Share Honors
With 10-lb. Baby in
Raskin Bonus Contest
This past week there were
two winners in the weekly Ras-
kin Big Baby Bonus contest. For
the first time since the contest
began, a set of twins were born,
and their mother, Mrs. Michael
Goldman, was awarded the same
prize as the mother delivering
the heaviest baby, Mrs. Edward
Dworkin.
The owners of Raskin Food
Co. felt that since Mrs. Gold-
man did have twins and their
combined weights were 11 lbs.-
5 oz., she also deserved to re-
ceive a prize.
The Jewish News encourages
its readers to include the weight
statistic in announcements sub-
mitted to the "Births" column
in order to be eligible for the
Raskin Big Baby Bonus Contest.
`No Kiddie without Holiday'
Pledge 50-Year-Old Men
Despite the fact that it seems
like only yesterday that the idea
of "No Kiddie Without A
Christmas" came into being,
some of the first children who
received Christmas clothes,
toys, and food from the now
famous "Old Newsboys" are now
in their late fifties or early six-
ties. In fact, the Old Newsboys
will officially mark their fiftieth
year of charity as a football
floats down the gridiron of Tiger
Stadium, Nov. 22, 8 p.m.
The football game will be the
1963 edition of the Old News-
boys Goodfellow High School
Championship featuring the top
team of the Detroit Public
School League and the first
place Catholic League squad.
Judge David C. Yokes is presi-
dent of the Old Newsboys.
