Annual Report Of The Atlanta Section National Council Of Jewish Women, May, 1928-1929 By Rae S. Neely We are pleased to reprint the fol lowing address delivered by Mrs. Frank Neely at her farewell mes sage to the Council of Jewish Women at the expiration of her term of splen did achievements as Resident of that organization.—The Editor. Dear Friends: Innumerable times during the pre ceding months, have I visioned this moment in May, and wondered what there would be for me to say to you wonderful women who either by your tangible work or your understanding, your patience, your tolerance, your trust have made possible the commu nity standing of the Atlanta Section National Council of Jewish Women. And in answer would come the thought, repeated again to-day, that there would be nothing that I might add to the sum of your achievements but the gratitude I feel toward you, a gratitude incapable of expression. With the reports of the officers and chairmen before you, you realize just what tremendous scope is covered, you realize that our Americanization work is outstanding, that we have con tributed toward educational and civic concerns with our service and our funds, that our philanthropy has sought the needs of every institution in the city, that our moneys, raised outside of dues, by our library and the gifts of interested contributors, have been accumulated in a dignified manner as benefits our dignified title and work. I beseech you, friends, to uphold the dignity, the entire conno tation of our name. To follow the money issue just for a minute, I should like to recommend definitely, that a thousand dollars be kept always in the sinking fund, I should like to recommend that an ab solute budget be maintained by future administration; I should like to re mind the body that the Temple build ing fund one thousand dollars and ac crued interest, voted last spring to wards the new temple, carried with it the idea that such money would be used toward the furnishing of a meet ing room. Your treasurer is leaving the Temple fund of $1035, the sinking fund of $1,000, and besides that $417.50 in your coffers. This makes a total of some $2400 in cash that we are passing on to the next adminis tration. I believe this care and fore sight in regard to our funds, this capable handling of our resources by our treasurer is unsurpassed in any organization. To-day it is said that the man creates the job, no longer does the acceptance of office carry the outline of duties, but the development of that position by the individual creates a new function. Thus with our cor responding secretary; not content with the ordinary correspondence de volving upon her in line of duty, she has, by her consideration, her unself ish thought of her fellow-man, her capacity for friendship, carried those beautiful talents into the line of her office and built up an unparallelled good-will toward our body. The recording secretary has made a splendid running history of our month-by-month work and the vice- presidents have been invaluable in their advice and help. To our honorary presidents I bow my head in reverence and gratitude. Mrs. Alexander’s spirit is a guiding star and a benediction; Mrs. Sommer- field encases us in a jewelled armor of loyalty, fidelity, and generosity. We are asked about education in every questionnaire that comes to our door, whether education facilities are furnished for our awards, or for our selves, or both, and we make answer affirmatively, for all of our pursuits are educational in one way or another, and due to the fine thought of our program chairman, our meetings for the entire season have been entertain ing, not by reason of their levity, but because they were planned to bring to us some educational movements pursued in the world today .... and so we have been entertained by the education of the group along the line of council interests. “What does the council do?” is the question still asked, and we, who are interested, grope around and hunt for words and phrases with which to en lighten our interrogator. We say we do Americanization, we say we do philanthropy, we say we do educa tional work, we say the council is con tributing in all civic movements, we say that a new light has dawned for the blind in our state because of our initial interest in those so handicap ped, and when we are through enum erating our tangible activities, we know that we haven’t expressed the council of Jewish women at all. And so these five years, in which you have honored me as your president, have taught me what, as I see it, the coun cil does. It brings together in com mon pursuit, in congenial endeavor, a group of Jewish women each un selfishly and understandingly inter ested in the work of every other wo man. Those of you who lend your presence to our meetings, are co equal with those who are actually in the field, for without your sympathy, your eagerness for news, the workers would be bereft of stimulation. And so, back to the fundamental, our func tion is RELIGIOUS. In our work, in the interest of faith and humanity, we are developing our own character, we are met in the council as Jewish wo men, working towards an ideal state of being. . . . The great Einstein, un der the verbal chastisement of the Catholic to-day, just as Galileo, and all the great scientists of the earth have been accused of atheism, answer ed the charge of non-belief in the words of the equally great Spinoza, that he believed in the organized course of nature. Surely our deepest gratitude is to our own beloved Rabbi, Dr. Marx, who has taught us in the synagog, in Bible Class, in our coun cil meetings, that there is nothing in compatible in modern scientific de velopment and in our religion of the prophets, that the doctrine of Judaism (Continued on Page 21)
