Adler and many others.
Coming to New York in 1910,
Weinberg joined the Hebrew
Actors' Union and appeared in
plays in New York and many
American cities. He opened his
own Yiddish theater in Cleveland
in 1914.
He abandoned the theater upon
his marriage, May 12, 1918, to
Jennie Gross. They moved on
their wedding day to Detroit and-
Weinberg entered the shoe busi-
ness. Later he operated a super-
market. He started broadcasting
on Station WJBK with the Ameri-
can Jewish Hour in 1932 and was
on the air with his wife, Jennie,
daughter, Bette, now Mrs. Herbert
Schein, and son Robert.
Besides their daughter Bette and
son Richard the Weinbergs have
another daughter, Mrs. Joseph
(Vera) Turner and a son, Herbert
of Cleveland.
Weinberg was born in War-
saw, Poland, July 4, 1889, and
received his Jewish education
there. Inspired by the emergence
of the Yiddish newspapers and
the formation by government
permission of the Yiddish theat-
er in 1904, Weinberg, together
with Menasha Skulnik, organized
a dramatic club in their youth
and presented plays with a
repertoire theater group in cities
near Warsaw.
Since his retirement three
years ago, Weinberg is devoting
his entire time to volunteer
work for the Sholem Aleichem
Institute.
He has many citations to his
credit for communal work and ac-
tivities in the sale of War Bonds.
On June 30, 1945, he received a
citation from the United States
Treasury Department in apprecia-
tion of service rendered in behalf
of the War Finance Program.
On June 30, 1946, he was given
a citation from the Jewish Wel-
fare Federation of Detroit.
On Nov. 6, 1946, he received a
citation from the World Federa-
tion of Polish Jews for raising
funds for destitute Jews in Poland.
LETTER BOX
Editor, The Jewish News:
The writer of this letter read an
article in a magazine titled: "The
Christian War in Anti-Semitism,"
and it states that the idea that Jews
are hated because their ancestors
crucified the Lord is denied by all
Catholic and Protestant clergymen.
In the past individual Church
fathers condemned Jews and Ju-
daism alike, but today, the article
claims that the anti-Semtism
movement reached the summits
and Church members condemn
anti-Semitism.
Catholic and Protestant theolo-
gians claim that a new tide is
surging through Christendom and
damn anti-Semitism as sin, and
claim that the old hatred fades.
However, I discovered in talking
with Christians on the subject of
anti-Semitism, that non-Jews of var-
ious faiths did not know the mean-
ing of anti-Semitism.
Have lived already 88 years and
all my life dealt with non-Jews and
found, to my regret, that the Jew
is outstanding in the minds of non-
Jews, as an entirely different hu-
man being from the non-Jews.
Anti-Semitism, in my opinion, is
not only a Christian curse, but a
germ and a disease that begins
from a non-Jewish child teaching
that the Jews are very much sepa-
rated from their way of life.
I dare to state that the Christian
war on anti-Semitism is nothing
more than a pious dream and a the-
ological wishful thinking. We suffer
from the germ of anti-Jewishness
which is infested in all non-Jews.

Young Leadership Mission
of UJA Leaves July 9
A group of 84 young American
Jewish communal representatives
from all sections of the United
States will fly to Israel on July 9,
participating in the fourth annual
Young Leadership Mission of the
United Jewish Appeal.
Michigan leads the nation in the
production of gypsum.
An antique Torah from India
will be entrusted to a group of
ex-Christians at West Olive, Michi-
gan next month. The presentation
in the southwestern Lower Penin-
sula community, will be in honor
of Morris J. Janoff, publisher and
editor of the Jewish Standard of
Jersey City.
The announcement was made at
a Jersey City salute to Janoff,
president of the American Jewish
Press Association. (The testimonial
was addressed by Jewish News
editor and publisher Philip Slomo-
vitz.)
The unique Torah, oriental in
design and whose cylindrical
case is wrought with silver orna-
mentation, is one of several
Torahs brought to America from
Calcutta by Edward Abrahams,
a former member of the Calcutta
Jewish community and now a
resident of New York.
After settling in this country,
Abrahams visited his childhood
home and discovered that the Cal-
cutta Jewish community had
dwindled due to emigration to Is-
rael and that the Torahs were ly-
ing unused in empty synagogues.
With the permission of the re-
maining Jewish leaders, Abrahams
arranged to have the Torahs
brought to this country where they
would be used by newly estab-
lished congregations of proselytes
or "former Jews" who are return-
ing to the fold.
As "sheliach," or messenger,
Abrahams had the Torahs placed
in the custody of the Brotherhood
Synagogue, Greenwich Village, un-
der Rabbi Irving J. Block.
Recognizing Janoff's lifetime
devotion to Torah Judaism and
to all Jewry, Rabbi Block, Abra-
hams and the Brotherhood Syna-
gogue decided to present the
Torah to Janoff, honoring him
with the task of conveying the
scroll to the new Israelites of
West Olive.
Also taking part in the consul-
tations was UN correspondent
David Horowitz, who is an official
of United Israel World Union, the
21-year-old world movement which
serves to strengthen Judaism, and
of which the West Olive group is
a unit.
In late July, Rabbi and Mrs.
Block, Abrahams and officers of
United Israel will accompany Jan-
off to West Olive for the presenta-
tion of the Torah at the new syna-
gogue being completed there. Wil-
liam Goodin, a former minister,
is the unit leader of the United
Israel movement in Michigan.
Further honoring Janoff, it was
decided by the trustees of the In-
dian Torahs to place one of the
scrolls on loan in Janoff's custody
so it could make its rounds in
synagogues within the greater
Jersey City community in the fall.
