NEW YORK — A New York
rabbi, suggesting that the Hanuka
menora be placed alongside the
Christmas tree in Rockefeller
Plaza as a gesture of brotherhood,
at the same time defended the
"commercialization" of Christmas
attacked from many a Christian
pulpit.
"I have no objection to the
material expressions that accom-
pany all our religious observ-
ances," said Rabbi William F.
Rosenblum of Temple Israel. "On
the contrary, it is a good thing
that more people have jobs and
more people enjoy profits because
of our celebrations," he said.
"One way to have a happy
Hanuka and a merry Christmas,"
he added, "is to translate our
faith into feast, fiesta and fro-
lic, our prayers into pageantry
and parties, our sacred amens
into social amenities and our
thankfulness to God for the gift
of life into gifts for our fami-
lies and friends."
Rabbi Rosenblum suggested that
clergymen of all faiths take a les-
son from merchants and "use our
imaginative and creative talents to
bring the masses into our pews."
WHAT A WALK
A stout lady tied up traffic for
ten minutes while attempting to
squeeze her sedan ito a very small
parking place on a side street,
finally shut of her motor and an-
nounced to her companion, "I think
we're close enough. We can walk
to the curb from here!"
Weekly Q Utz
•
By RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX
(Copyright, 1966, JTA, Inc.)
Why is an extra petition for rain
inserted into the daily prayers
from December until Passover?
The current period is regarded
as the so-called "rainy season"
for the Diaspora. Thus prayers for
rain are inserted in the benedic-
tion of the "Shmone Esre" (the
nineteen benedictions which are
recited thrice daily) which deals
with the prayer for sustenance.
The earliest this is ever inserted
is the last day of Sukkot (i.e. after
the holiday is over) according to
some opinions, or during the month
after Sukkot according to the pre-
vailing opinion. This is because
the period of the Sukkot festival
would not be an ideal time for
rain since the rain would make
it uncomfortable or impossible to
eat in the Sukka. For several
weeks after Sukkot, the pilgrims
were on their way home and rain
would make their voyage uncom-
fortable. Thus at some period after
Sukkot, earlier in Israel and later
in the Diaspora, the petition for
rain is inserted into the liturgy.
THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Musical Program to End Be th Aaron's Adult Series
The eighth and concluding ses-
sion of the Beth Aaron adult educa-
tion lecture series will take place
8:15 p.m. Tuesday. This program,
dedicated to Israeli music, will fea
ture presentations by the syna-
gogue's Cantor Moses Serensen. An
Eternal Light kinescope, "People
of the Book," will be presented.
Cantor Serensen, who was the
chief cantor of Riga, received his
training in the Conservatory at
Mail Slowing Down
The holiday rush is on. The
Jewish News advises all those
submitting copy to mail early,
or hand deliver, as the post of-
fice is feeling the pressure.
Copy received after deadline

Warsaw and in Milan and Rome.
He has been the cantor of leading
synagogues in Milwaukee and Chi-
cago since coming to the United
* * *
States 17 years ago. He has been
at Beth Aaron two years.
Why do many insist that the
Harry Goldstein, co-chairman of
entire congregation stand during
the recital of the Kaddish by the the adult education committee, will
cantor or the mourners?
The Kaddish is regarded as one
of those recitations which are a
"matter of sanctification" (i.e.
the Divine Name is sanctified in
the process of its recital). Such
a recitation requires the entire
congregation to rise because in
the course of such a recitation
it is the congregation which is
taking part in the sanctification,
(i.e. the Cantor or the mourner
and the congregation react to each
other responsively). Thus, it be-
comes an activity which is like
that of the angels who summon and
consequently respond to each
other in the process of sanctify-
ing the Divine Name. Since the
angels do this in a standing pos-
ture (i.e. in a fixed position) the
congregation, which is emulating
the angels, do likewise.

spectacular proof that in our doubting age
GOD IS ALIVE!
In last week's Jewish News, a book was reviewed called
"OBJECTIVE TRUTH
CONDEMNS ALL POLITICS"
the headline read:
"Detroit's Arthur Wakefield Issues
Volume Urging Unity of Religion, End
to 'Selfishness of Politicians"
This book rejects the term "messiah" because the "anointing" of kings is no
longer in vogue. In response to the prophet's declaration, "thou shalt be called
by a new name," modern designations such as "stero—analyst" or "catalytic
agent" through whom society's conflicting groups must be reconciled are sub-
stituted. The signs given by God in the bible as well as an exacting birthdate
predicted in the Talmud some 2000 years ago are proven as fully fulfilled
in this author's search for objective truth answers.
The climactic answers to end crippling strikes and to break the chain of
poverty are also dramatically spelled out in
"OBJECTIVE TRUTH c7
95
CONDEMNS ALL POLITICS" ".
