The Store A.U Women Knoic” NINETEEN MEMBERS BUILD TEMPLE This picture shows the Morgan City, La., Temple, built by a congre gation of I ( ) members in the face of a 10-year economic depression and a hurricane and flood. In the sugar-cane farming district of Louisiana, suffering from financial depression for the past ten years, with a million dollar plantation bank ruptcy, a hurricane, and a flood fol lowing in rapid succession, the com munity of Morgan City has complet ed a new temple which stands today almost entirely debt-free. And this with the support of but nineteen mem bers. Nor are they satisfied with this ac complishment. The secretary of this congregation. Mr. Paul Sehreier, in a letter to Rabbi Louis I. Egleson, as sistant director of the Department L Synagogue and School Extensi-r.. Union of American Hebrew Congre gations, writes as follows: “If conditions seem favorable, w e propose making an effort to have three or four towns between Morgar. City and Lafayette, La., unite to 4 tain the services of a rabbi, who couk officiate once each month in each town. “W hile our membership seem? small, our Temple was crowded lac. Friday and Saturday. Services are conducted by officers of the tempk, with a small choir. SAYS ZIONISTS MUST GIVE UI’ HOPE OF HAYING JEWISH NATIONALITY DOMINANT IN PALESTINE Philadelphia (J. T. A.)—“The Zion ists must give up the hope of having a Jewish nationality dominant in Pal estine,” was the statement of Rabbi W illiam H. P ineshriber, preaching at Temple Keneseth Israel here Sunday. “The real cause of the uncalled-for slaughter of the innocents in Pales tine—something much like the old po groms—is a clash between two cul tures." said Dr. Fineshriber. “There is today an Oriental revolt against the West, in India, too, and in Egypt. Again our people have been the scapegoat to bear the burden of the sins of the nations. Some have said: "The Jews of the world must continue to pour into Pal estine thousands and thousands and thousands! ^ hen they are told this policy will lead to more massacres, they answer: That s the burden Jews have to bear. The proposal is stupid and cruel. It is no solution. It is an injustice to the unfortunate Polish and Rouman ian Jews who would bear the brunt of it. The traditional way of dealing with the problem is to say: ‘England hasn’t done her duty—she must send more soldiers and put Zionist sympa thizers in control!’ That s simply the old philosophy of force. There are some Judges to- day who make this same mistake of thinking that the problem of moral delinquency can be settled by force. English force has failed in Egypt. It must be understood that there are different peoples in the world. *a r. with a right to its own civilization and culture. “Pacification, not force, is the solu tion. Zionists and non-Zionists shouk not enrage the Arabs by speaking blatantly of ‘ the coming Jewish ma jority.’ That will stimulate to new ex cesses. What we want is peace. We mu?', e a rapprochement with the Arab' »re is some justice on the Arab? ?. Do we want to make the Arab?, ay 800,000 as compared with k ■ Jews a minority?—that is, a *e?- ng score?
