Nowadays we read stories about Zion datelined from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Perhaps on Rosh Hashana one may properly look back to the old years when the big stories about Zion came mostly fron Atlantic City, where the Zionist conven- tions were usually held. I have been looking at some of my notes of former years. The conventions usually took place at the Breakers Hotel. I find in my notes: "The breaking waves dashed high when the Pil- grim fathers arrived to plant the New American Commonwealth and this convention animated by a' similar aim of new nation- hood is being held at the Breakers." But maybe as much of the Mr. and Mrs. Morris Flatt and Family wish all their relatives and friends a happy and prosperous New Year Holiday Greetings to Our Relatives and Friends Evelyn and David Levine and Family In lieu of cards we are making a charitable contribution LOUIS BRANDEIS Wishing Our Family and Friends a very happy New Year THE RICHMANS Katherine, Bob, Judy and Audrey MRS.

Zionist business was trans- acted at Childs Restaurant where the delegates went to eat, and the boardwalk it- self was an extended con- vention hall. At Childs, I first got really close to Louis Lipsky. He was Mr. Zionist. No man so personified the American Zionist movement as Lip- sky. Like Saul, he was im- pressive first of all for his stature and perhaps this gave him the confidence which made his voice sound like the shofar blast. It is interesting that be- fore coming to New York, he was editor of a Jewish weekly newspaper in Roch- ester called The Shofar. In New York, he tied up with the American Hebrew founded by a man named Cowen, who was related to the celebrated American writer of western stories, Bret Harte. When the Zionist move- ment began to take shape, Lipsky became the editor of The Young Maccabean, which later matured into The New Palestine. Mit Lipsky was a man of several interests. He was very much interested in the theater and was for a time drama critic of a New York daily. He earned his living principally in the insurance business. Rabbi Stephen Wise was a companion. figure of Lip- sky', and one of the world's most noted figures in the Zionist movement. He was the man of the Free Syn- agogue, and spoke frankly . of establishing free syn- agogues all over the coun- try. He was a friendly man as popular among non-Jews as among Jews. "Wise likes to do things for people," Lip- sky once said to me. Challenging the Lipsky group, there was a group headed by Abha Hillel Sil- ver, Cleveland rabbi, who also had the assets of ap- pearance and great oratori- cal ability. Lipsky's eloquence was a kind of non-eloquence. He never told a humorous story or indulged in a beautiful figure of speech? Terseness — conciseness — were his qualities. Silver's eloquence was of a different sort. It had a poetic and musical quality. Silver in his boyhood on New York's East Side had organized the first juvenile Zionist society. When at the Educational Alliance, the group attempted to produce a Hebrew play, Dr. Fleisch- man, the Jewish superin- tendent, was horrified and forbade it, but the club ob- tained the intervention of the Yiddish press and Fleischman had to bow.. Louis D. Brandeis was an- other of the giants. A giant who didn't believe in giants. He was to become noted for his views of "the curse of bigness." He thought big- ness tended to inefficiency. He tried to reduce every- thing to essentials. He never used a typewriter but wrote his briefs and letters by hand. In his Zionism he also stressed basics. The Pales- tine Economic Corporation was his darling. He stressed the economic note. Robert Szold Was another important figure and the man probably closest to Brandeis. And of course there could Today, all of this is his- tory, destined to be little re- membered, yet it helped plant the roots for the Israel of today. spacious areas of the prairie northwest. I recall one time, Gordon of the New York Times say- ing there about some action of the credentials commit- tee, that if the Angel Ga- briel knocked at the door, he doubted he would pass the credentials committee.

He never worked a day in his life, but he was never absent from any big Jewish meeting. "How do you spell your name?" Brandeis asked him. FAA P,d)re 1975 • 5736 "A Supreme Court judge should not know how to spell," said Choni. The press room was pres- ided over by Ernest Barbar- ash.
