Dillard HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA — ----- -i WHEN GROWN-UPS WANT JUDAISM (Continued from Page 25) to the roll call. But at almost every session you will see men and women present who are just there to hear about Judaism. They follow the He brew lessons, join the discussion in ethics, and give their experiences in the psychological free-for-all. These auditors are some Orthodox and some Reform Jews and points of view often differ hut all realize that essentially Judaism is Judaism. We have since introduced new cours es, notably one in Jewish Social Serv ice, including such matters as the Jew ish Child, the Jewish Home, etc. These too have met with success and are es pecially popular with our unofficial auditors. Our dream is that some day we may become not a Jewish University but a University for Judiasm. We person ally believe we are tending that way. Meanwhile we are turning out Jewish teachers (calls for teachers come to us from all over New Jersey) and are attracting Jewish adults interested in Jewish education. Some Observations Possibly what is most significant of all is what we have concluded after three years of observation. In our own community are temples that spare no effort or expense in appealing for the wider interest of the Jewish men and women. One of the recently tried appeals has been that of athletic re creation. People came to swim and smoke and play hut not to pray. They t>eeame interested in recreation but this interest did not lead to one in Judaism. And when other agencies of fered recreation that outrivaled the temple’s, the temple suffered. Now we have concluded that it is not wise for the temple to offer arti ficial lures. Rather than build swim ming pools, we believe in building schools. Rather than basketball tourna ments, we believe in Jewish open fo rums. We firmly believe in less recrea tion and more education. Our mission is not to compete with athletic clubs hut to teach. Our school has brought people to the temple; brought them to stay and pray. Since the inception of our school, our services are attended as never before. We know that this unprecedented attendance is to some extent at least directly due to our school. And we believe that what Jews want and Jews expect from a temple is inspiration and education. You can startle them into a show of interest with Roman entertainment, but such interest in the words of Polonius may be, “sweet not lasting.” Black: I scuttled many a good ship in my day, but I had to quit the game.

One of the Communist speakers started to blame the Zionists t h# government of Great Britain and the Labor party. The audience listened pa- tiently to these arguments, but when the speaker took a pro-Arab attitude" a number of those present became N enraged that they rushed forward the platform, seeking to attack the speaker. Since the Communists wer* in the majority they ejected the oppo. sition from the hall. The meeting then adopted a resolution condemning the Zionists, the British Government a: the Second-International. The Yiddish Communist daily Fm* continuing its campaign against Zion ism, declares today: “Zionism w« born on pogroms, existed on pogrom? and now died on pogroms.
