Page 6 The Southern Israelite Idling Judaea Convenes in Atlanta The Work of Young Judaea By LOUIS GEFFEN President, Southern Interstate Yount/ Judaean Association From August 3rd to August 8th the Young Judaeans of the South will par ticipate in the Eleventh Annual Con vention of the Southern Interstate Young Judaean Association. This con vention is always the culmination of a year’s work and effort and is looked forward to by all Young Judaeans with a great amount of interest. Ever since its inception Southern In terstate has become a real asset to the Jewish community that it has served and still is serving. Through its local clubs it has developed leaders among our Jewish youth who have become leaders in their respective communities. Individual members of the clubs have become better acquainted with Hebrew history and Jewish culture and, above all, they have become imbued with an interest in "Eretz Yisroel.” Southern Interstate has extended its influence into such cities as New Or leans, Shreveport, Memphis, Chatta nooga, Mobile, Montgomery, Birming ham Jacksonville Tampa Miami, At lanta, Rome, Columbus, Savannah and Charleston. In all of these communities Jewish boys and girls have grouped themselves into Young Judaean Clubs, thus affording the boys and girls Jew ish associations and contacts. Each year at the convention there are reports and discussions concerning the work of the past year, and plans are outlined for the work of the com ing year. This year’s convention will have a special feature. The Young Judaeans of Atlanta who are sponsor ing this convention are planning a Spe cial Alumni Dinner for those Young Judaeans who at one time or another were very active and participated in Young Judaea work. Southern Interstate is also desirous of getting new cities interested in Young Judaean work. For that reason invitations have been extended to cities where there are no Young Judaean Clubs to be represented at the con vention and familiarize themselves with Southern Interstate activities. Louis Geffcn Southern Interstate is expecting every city to be represented by its dele gates and visitors so that they can par ticipate in the “Wonder Convention as it has been designated by Atlanta Young Judaeans. A Personal Message From the Past resident Fellow Judaeans: The Eleventh Anniversary Conven tion of the Southern Interstate will be held in Atlanta from Sunday, August 3rd, to Wednesday, August 6th, in clusive. This convention, which marks the culmination of eleven years of Young Judaea effort, is expected to surpass our previous annual gatherings in point of attendance, program, and congenial ity. The program will include a ban quet and special sessions for leaders. There will also take place special edu cational programs for the ensuing year. My little message is for you old work- ■ ■ — As your Past President, let this little note wish the convention an enormous success. CHARLES W. BERGMAN. Greetings From An "Ole Timer" Time rolls on, the “old” go out. “Well done,” old faithful, your work is over. The “new” come in. “Your work is before you; tackle it.” As the years roll by we look back and think of the wonderful work that has been done among Jewish boys and girls to make them better men and women. We think of the time served by "Poss” Goldstein, Harry Hurwitz, Max Cuba, Ben Zion Segal, and others. What will the future hold? Will it produce better leaders? In order to “carry on” the work already started by Young Judaea, it is absolutely necessary that we have ■ Sidney Park, Assistant Treasurer of Southern Interstate Yount/ Judaean Nathan Blass, President of Atlanta Council of Yount) Judaean * ers of Southern Interstate to take off a few days and visit with us, enter into our discussions, and partake of our socials. If you will there is plenty of assurance that the expenses incurred will be more than compensated by the enthusiasm and the constructive sug gestions all the delegates, because of you, will carry back. The interest in Southern Interstate has not waivered; it is still strong and still encouraging, and the work goes on and on. Now we’re all interested in the success of the Interstate, are we not ? The fulfillment of its goal is our fulfillment: the swelling of its race is our joy—its dwindling our failure. The key to this success is simple: it is that each Young Judaean, instead of looking for someone to coax him to attend the convention, to willingly “fly” to Atlanta during the first week in Au gust and there lay plans for the com ing year. ■ cooperation of former members of Young Judaea. We are well aware of the fact that many of its members are now married and are in the business world. However, there are a great number who no doubt would like very much to help “carry on” the great work. It will be an inspiration to the younger members, when they gather in Atlanta the first week in August, to see the interest manifested by the for mer members of Young Judaea. Come on, “Garry Sisken"! Remem ber the good old times in Chattanooga in 1924? How about it, Harry Hur witz. ole Birmingham in 1927. Bring all the other fellows with you. We are going to have a real “get-together” this year in Atlanta. An “Ole Timers” meet ing. How about you “Ole Folks” from Memphis and all the rest of the towns? I’ll be seeing you in Atlanta the first week in August. OLE TIMER. Charles IV.
