The administration, faculty and students of
Hillel Day School
are bowed in grief at the passing of our valiant
friend and counselor
RABBI MORRIS ADLER
who as spiritual advisor and member of our board
of trustees was so devoted to our schoOl.
The children of Hillel Day School extend a special word
of comfort to their classmate Judith - Benstein on the
loss of her grandfather, who she loved so dearly.
We pray that God will bring assuagement to the grieving
members of Cong. Shaarey Zedek and sustaining solace
to Rabbi Adler's valiant wife, Goldie, to Shulamith and
Eli and their darling children.

MAY THE MEMORY OF THE RIGHTEOUS
SERVE AS A BLESSING
BLESSED BE THE MEMORY
OF RABBI MORRIS ADLER
Every sacred cause in Jewish life has
lost a great supporter in the Passing of
Rabbi Morris Adler.
Yeshiva University is especially be-
reaved. Rabbi. Adler was a student at
Yeshivoth Rabbi Itzhak Elhanan, the rab-
binical department of Yeshiva University.
He has given us aid and encourage-
ment, and we always looked to him for
guidance.
He was the teacher and the friend,
the co-worker in our sacred movements.
We deeply mourn his passing and we
extend our sympathies to his family.
May his memory be a blessing for the
generations to. come.

There were tributes to
Rabbi Adler's memory at
the opening rally of the
Allied Jewish Campaign—
in a special memorial ad-
dress by Rabbi Irwin
Groner; in opening remarks
by Israel Ambassador Avra-
ham Harman who said in
behalf of the people of Is-
rael: "We join you in your
sorrow"; in the opening
prayer at the campaign
dinner by Rabbi M. Robert
Svme.
An especially moving reso-
lution was unanimously pass-
ed by the Michigan UAW-CIO.
There are tribute's from the
Jewish War Veterans, whose
national officers were present
at the funeral services and
whose local leaders formed
a special guard at the service.
Tributes were paid to the
deceased leader at numerous
meetings, at community din-
ners, at adult education ses-
sions of local synagogues and
the Midrasha.
From the Writings of Rabbi Adler
tors or as it had been lived by its
adherents. We are too integrated
in Western culture to escape its
persistent misinterpretations of
Judaism and Jews. Jewish knowl-
edge becomes an indispensable
corrective in such a situation.
Another consideration gives the
call of the Jewish book supreme
value. In the world of the spirit it
is as true that readers create writ-
ers as that writers attract readers.
Give us loyal discerning readers
and some of the energy of our
Jewish men of talent will be de-
voted to creative Jewish work. Let
us heed the call and play _our part
in enriching Jewish life generally
even as we enrich our own,
A Requisite for
Jewish Existence
Literature for us Jews is not an
aspect of recreation or ornamen-
tation. It is one of the ,requisites
of Jewish existence. The quite sig-
nificant library of Jewish subject
matter now available in English
makes Jewish knowledge more ac-
cessible to Jews of the Western
world than ever before.
For the Jew to know is to live
more fully as a Jew.
For the Jew to know is to
strengthen his bonds with Jewish
history and to enlarge his under-
standing of the contemporary Jew-
ish scene. For the Jew to know is
to translate Jewishness into an
edifying and stimulating force.
For the Jew to know is to help
raise. the standards of our collec-
tive life.
For the Jew to know is to be
armed against the misconception
and distortions which are to be
found in the cultural environment
about us. Sooner or later an
American Jew is bound to meet
the words "Pharisee" and "Phari-
saic." Will they strike his ear with
all the negative Christian connota-
tions with which they have become
associated or will he know them
in reference to Hillel, .Akiba and
the great Talmudic tradition? He
will know Judaism either as it has
been misunderstood by its detrac-

Judaism Begins at Home
It doesn't begin at a meeting or
a conference or at a philanthropic
campaign. It begins in homes
where Judaism lives in the atmos-
phere and is integrated in the
normal pattern of daily life. It
begins in homes where the Jewish
words re-echo, where the Jewish
book is honored and the Jewish
song is heard. It begins in homes
where the child sees and partici-
pates in symbols and rites that
link him to a people and a culture.
It begins in homes where the Jew-
ish ceremonial object is visible. It
begins in the home where into the
deepest layers of a child's devel-
oping personality are w o v e n
strands of love for and devotion
to the life of the Jewish com-
munity.

Brandeis Institute Hailed,
Ribicoff Wins Award
LOS ANGELES . (JTA) — The
classic Jewish emphasis on educa-
tion and the role of the Brandeis
Institute in helping "every human
being live life to the fullest," was
lauded here by Terry Sanford,
former governor of North Carolina,
in an address at the annual dinner
of the Institute March 17. U. S.
Senator Abraham A. Ribicoff,
Connecticut Democrat, was award-
ed the Brandeis Institute Humani-
tarian Award at the dinner.
Asserting that the Jewish people
"have survived over 40 centuries
when all the great warrior empires
have passed into dusty ruin," Gov.
Sanford said that "this incredible
fact of human history should give
all of us pause to ponder the future
of the Jewish contribution and the
meaning of the Jewish past."
Hailing the achievements of Dr.
Shlomo Bardin, founder and execu-
tive director of the 26-year-old
Institute, 'Gov. Sanford said: "One
senses the fire of the prophets with-
in him and a spirt of dedication to
his people that enriches the lives
of everyone he meets."

Milton Himmelfarb, director of
information service for the .Ameri-
can Jewish Committee, speaking
on the topic "The Jewish Intellec-
tual and the Jewish Community,"
suggested that undue concern has
been expressed over the so-called
alienation of the Jewish intellec-
tual. He noted sufficient evidence
to indicate that the degree of
alienation was greater during the
1930s than it is today,
A social hour, with representa-
tives from the Jewish War Veter-
ans Ladies Auxiliary serving as
hostesses, followed the assembly
program.
