Rabbi Kemehnan's
`How to Live in
Present Tense'

Rabbi Haim Kemelman of the
East Brunswick, N.J., Jewish
Center, believes the home to be
the most powerful influence in
molding people's lives.
He gives emphasis to this theme
in his "How to Live in the Present
Tense," published by A. S. Barnes
Co.
In his series of essays in this
book he deals with many prob-
lems, including that of abandor-
ment to pot. He warns: "A pot-
puffer is no prophet and an addict
is no closer to revelation than the
skid row drunkard, in spite of his
momentary high, briefly induced
by the tender mercies of drugs."
He adds to his warning: "Ar-
tificial inspiration is more self-
decept/on than self-service."
There is a plea in Rabbi Kernel-
man's book for solemn realities.
Calling man "the incurable ro-
mantic, the universal dreamer,"
he draws upon historic experiences
to offer the paean: "Only the
dreamer with his dream is closest
to reality, for he can grasp pos-
sibilities even before they are
visible and create reality."
His work is a strong plea for
adherence to faith and not to
abandon the God-idea. Rabbi Kem-
elman has faith in man and he
pleads for man's retention of that
faith as means of attaining the
optimistic aspects to which he
adheres.

Shul Statistics

By RABBI SAMUEL SILVER
Once a rabbi was fired from his
job because in his bulletin he kept
a score of those members of the
board of trustees who attended
services on Friday night.
But no one can fault the rabbi of
Beth Tzedec Congregation in To-
ronto for some statistics he ran in
his bulletin.
Let me remind you, if you don't
already know, that Beth Tzedec is
one of the most beautiful Jewish
sanctuaries on the continent. It is
on famed Bathurst st. which
like Baltimore's Park Heights Ave.,
has so many synagogues it's
Rue de la Payess.
And let me remind you, if you
don't already know, that the rabbi
of this enormous synagogue is Dr.
Stuart Rosenberg, one of the most
eloquent and erudite Conservative
spiritual leaders of our time.
In his bulletin, Rabbi Rosenberg
reprinted a report he received
from William Crocker, a trustee,
giving some data about synagogue
attendance. The chart reads as fol-
lows:
October, 210; November, 315;
December, 105; January, 140;
February, 325; March, 340; April,
250; May, 420.
Pretty good figures, eh? But
wait, they are the numbers of
Christians who came to see what
a Jewish service is like.
It has been said that if Jewish
curiosity about Judaism matched
Christian curiosity, we'd have a
very vibrant Jewish community
these days.
Indeed, a rabbi in a midwestern
city, fled the pulpit some years
ago because his Christian visitors
at worship consistently outnumber-
ed his own parishoners.
Perhaps we ought to prge our
Christian friends to adopt a slo-
gan: "Take a Jew to Shabbos
service with you next time you
go!"

Kashrut Chief Cited

NEW YORK (JTA)—The Jew-
ish National Fund will establish
the Nahlat Haim settlement in Is-
rael in honor of Rabbi H. Judah
Hurwitz, head of the local Kash-
rut Supervisors Union.
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller call-
ed Hurwitz one of "a few men who
have been able to be both a serv-
ant to God and a statesman of
labor." Lord Janner of England
addressed the dinner, attended by
more than 1,500.
