MENNEN AND LEFKOFF
WEDDING
I note with interest that the writer
f that very interesting column called
i hat from the Capital,” Hillel, the
observer, suggests that Albert Ot-
trarer, the defeated candidate for
Governor of New York, may be ap-
nted Ambassador to Rome. Re-
htly I had occasion to point out that
• only two countries where diplo
mats of the Jewish faith were wel-
ine as Ministers were Persia and
Turkey. Efforts have been made to
name Jews to Austria, but failed. It
may be that Italy having such a
1 road-minded monarch as King Eman
IIow the mighty have fallen! Last
year the press of the nation was en
gaged in making Andy Cohen the
Jewish ball player a hero because he
was a Jew. I was surprised that Con
gress did not take cognizance of such
a rare bird. What we didn’t hear about
the virtues of Jewis athletes! Given
an equal amount of mechanical ability
a Jewish ball player with the proverb
ial Jewish intellect would rule the dia
mond. It made me rather impatient,
all this fulsome flattery and fol-de-rol
as if to be a Jew and a ball player of
first rank made one a sort of super
man. But I feai'ed for Andy. I had
a hunch that his star would become
dimmed — he started on a pedestal,
which in this country is a very pre
carious place to start from. For
when you fall you fall—and how! So
Andy is paying the price of hero wor
ship. It wasn’t his fault, of course. He
was just too good.
Of cordial interest to many friends
throughout the South is the marriage
of Miss Rose Edith Mennen, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. E. Mennen of Chatta
nooga, Tennessee, to Mr. Wolfe Kay
LefkofF of Knoxville, Tennessee, for
mally of Atlanta, Georgia, which was
solemnized in Chattanooga, Sunday,
April 28th, at the Julius and Bertha
Ochs Memorial Temple, Rabbi Samuel
R. Shillman officiating.
Mrs. LefkofT is a member of the
younger set in Chattanooga, where she
graduated from high school, and later
attended Peabody College at Nash
ville.
Mr. LefkofT is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles LefkofT of Atlanta. He
is a graduate of the 1920 class of
Boys’ High School and the 1924 class
of the Georgia School of Technology,
and is a member of the Tau Epsilon
Phi fraternity.
Immediately after the ceremony,
Mr. and Mrs. LefkofT left for New
York, where they sailed May 4th on
the Leviathan for an extended tour
abroad.
After August they will be at home
to their friends in Knoxville.
JEWISH PERSONALITIES
(Continued from Page 3)
it was of their spontaneous initiation
that the Zionists did this.
The personality of Dr. W T ise means
one clear thing for the future. The
Jews will be lost to Judaism by marri
age and other social alienation is a
certainty. But that Judaism has any
thing to fear from such attrition, is
unthinkable. Within itself, there is the
abundance of cohesive energy which
will perpetuate for all time a race,
unique in ethnology. What we have
here is not tradition merely or belief
but being—fatherhood, motherhood,
childhood—those essences of race
which preceded even the tabernacle,
even the prophets, even the Messianic
hopes. Be it temple or be it tent—
makes no difference to the children
of Abraham on the one hand who
lived in a tent and of Ezra on the
other who built a temple. There is
here a destiny, inexplicable and inev
itable, and a thousand years hence, the
blood which Rabbi .Wise claims from
the prophets will be flowing still in
the veins of countless others, related
to him, by the same hereditary dy
nasty of spirtual and racial predesti
nation.
