The Southern Israelite Page 13 But the Jews have imbibed culture of the land in which they lived and ex pressed themselves culturally in the fashion of their country. I heard . hat some Palestinian folk songs have been discovered but was assured by an authority that the music was real ly. Russian and not Palestinian. How ever that may be, I can see no basis tor the establishment of a purely Jewish room such as suggested for other nationalities. I lunched with a University Pro fessor and he told me that he had the task of locating positions for gradu ates of the business department of the , .liege. He told me that he experi enced real difficulty with the Jewish | )lt ys and what surprised him more than anything else was the fact that he had trouble even with the Jewish employers in obtaining positions for •he .Jewish applicants. Of course this is not news, but coming from such a source it reflected in no favorable light the attitude of the Jewish em ployer toward his own people. I sometimes wonder if these Jews know what they are doing. They must have very little imagination if they fail to appreciate that what they are do ing to the children of other Jews may some day happen to their own chil dren. The economic opportunity for the Jewish boy and girl is sufficiently limited by the non-Jew without the Jew contributing to make it even more limited. I am glad to publish this letter from my old-time friend, Rabbi Calisch: “Dear Mr. Joseph:— “Of course I am a constant reader of your ‘colyum,’ and al ways with pleasure and profit. Every once and awhile I have an urge to write to you to tell you this, and I am using your para graph in the issue of May 31st regarding Rabbi Feldman’s ex perience as a peg on which to hang this epistle. “I have had likewise a rather interesting experience, though not exactly similar to that of Rabbi Feldman, but none-the-less I be lieve, unique. At the Ecumenical Council of the Episcopal Church (which is a world-wide organiza tion) and which was held here in Richmond some years ago, I had the very distinguished honor of being invited to deliver an address before the House of Bishops. The Council is divided into two bod ies, the lay delegates and minis ters and the House of Bishops. The meeting of the House of Bishops was held in the capitol building in the room of the House of Delegates of the State of Vir ginia. I was waited upon by the Bishop of Tokyo, Japan, with the request for the address. When I came to the capitol building to the door of the chamber, I was met by a committee of two, and as I entered the chamber, the house rose and remained standing until I was escorted to the plat form. After my address the house again rose as I left the room. I was told that never before had such an incident taken place, nor have I heard of it occuring since. “It may be interesting to add that I also participated in a funeral service of the Episcopal Church at the death of Mrs. Jef ferson Davis, the widow of the President of the Confederacy. I was invited by the then pastor of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, where the funeral service was held, to take part in the funeral service. I read the 90th Psalm. There was no other minister be side the pastor of the church and myself. Cordially, EDWARD N. CALISCH.” (Continued on Page 14) Today’s Choice—The New Two Piece Cardigan Dress *25 Sizes 11, 13, 15 and 1 7 Adapted from Original Chanel models ... in response to the specific demand of America’s smartest women.
