and is now recuperating in his
apartment in the Belcrest, Frank
Simons, executive secretary of
Temple Israel made known this
week.
Rabbi Fram, who became ill on
May 22, when his sickness was
diagnosed as meningitis, has been
in the hospital since that time. In
the interim he had undergone ear
surgery and it was established that
meningitis was a secondary infec-
tion to the one that developed
from the ear.
Simons said that Rabbi Fram is
expected to return to his pulpit in
time to deliver his sermons on the
Holy Days.
United Synagogue Issues
Revised Selihot Service
A revised edition of the Bokser
Selihot Service has been published
by the United Synagogue of Amer-
ica.
Originally published in 1955
under the authorization of the Rab-
binical Assembly, the service fol-
lows the traditional liturgy and
contains a modern translation by
Rabbi Ben Zion Bokser of the For-
est Hills Jewish Center in New
York. In the revised edition, re-
sponsive readings and explanatory
notes have been added.
The new material has been in-
troduced without affecting the page
order of the earlier edition thus
enabling congregations to use
copies of both editions from the
United Synagogue Book Service,
2852 Broadway, New York, N.Y.,
10025.
The first Selihot will be recited
this year Saturday night, Aug. 29.

RABBI ARTHUR LELYVELD
a railroad track. Dr. Lelyveld, in
front of the group, bore the brunt
of the attack. He was hit several
times on the head with an iron
bar. Rabbi Lelyveld returned to
Cleveland after resting at the home
of a relative at Florence, Ala.
Dr. Lelyveld has been senior
rabbi of Fairmont Temple in
Cleveland, one of the largest in
the country, since 1958. He also
has been prominent in many na-
tional Jewish organizations, in-
cluding World University Service
and the American Jewish League
for Israel.
The New York Board of Rab-
bis, representing more than
850 Orthodox, Reform and Con-
sarvative rabbis, sent a telegram
to Gov. Paul B. Johnson Jr. of
Mississippi, expressing shock at
the attack on Rabbi Lelyveld.
At the same time, the board
wired Rabbi Lelyveld, expressing
pride that he had "offered him-
self on the altar of freedom and
dignity of man, in the spirit of
historic Judaism." •
Rabbi Lelyveld declared that
he has "only pity" for the men
who attacked him, and "only a
deep sorrow for the State of Mis-
sissippi."
He charged that law enforcement
authorities in Mississippi harassed
persons taking part in the voter
registration drive.
Rabbi Lelyveld said he would
return to Mississippi if the Federal
Bureau of Investigation asked him
to identify the assailants. He added
that he has no confidence in the
state's law-enforcement agencies.
The rabbi declared: "It is
pitiful that the leaders of the
state of Mississippi fail to realize
that they are shaping their own
doom along with that of the closed
society they have created."

Would you like cool, clean air
coming from this hot air register
all summer long?
It can, you know.
A Gas air conditioner not only cools the air, it dehumidia
fies it and removes dust and pollen, too.
And Gas, of course, is economical to use. A Gas air
conditioner operates at about half the cost of other
central systems.
What's more, if your home is air conditioned by Gas,
you get a reduced summer rate not only on your air
conditioning but on all your Gas appliances during the
summer period.
You really should consider Gas air conditioning for your
home. It makes a world of difference to live in an
atmosphere that's refreshing. Easy terms are available.
