What The Jews Are Doing In Birmingham
(Continued from page 21)
literary pursuits, too, are encouraged.
An excellent library is maintained by
the Y. M. H. A., and new books are
constantly being added. A boys’ liter
ary club, of which Herman Levine is
president, does excellent work in keep
ing the youngsters interested in fine
literature. Another interesting experi
ment conducted by the young people,
Mr. Roth directing, is the Dramatic
Workshop. At regular intervals this
organization presents plays, all of
which have been very well received.
In a recent tournament in which
twelve amateur clubs competed, the
Workshop, the only Jewish Club rep
resented, took the three prizes of
fered, one for the best play, one for
the best actor, and one for the best
actress.
In addition to this the Y. M. H. A.
brings lecturers from various parts of
the country to Birmingham each year.
Large crowds of every religious de
nomination attend and enjoy these
lectures. Last year Mr. Norman
Thomas and Dr. James W. Wise were
heard.
Several social clubs have been or
ganized, namely the Amigo, the Kap
pa Nu Graduate Club, the A. Z. A.,
the Jolly Metros, and the Adelphi. A
dance is given once a year by these
clubs in addition to other social ac
tivities conducted exclusively for club
members.
The “Y” was organized in 1907. In
1923 the new building was finished.
At present Mr. Simon Klotz is presi
dent of the organization. With Mr.
Roth here for an indefinite length of
time one might hazard the guess that
the coming years will prove as good
as the last few.
There are clubs outside the “Y”,
too. Hillcrest, the one Jewish Coun
try Club, is said to have one of the
finest golf courses in the city. The
club is the setting for many pictur
esque dances, both in winter and sum
mer. Club night is held once a week;
both older and younger married peo
ple participate. The Progress Club
is a private one, dedicated exclusively
to chatting and cards.
Birmingham also has one of the
best chapters of Pi Tau Pi in the
country. The Senior Chapter regular
ly conducts Mother’s Day at Temple
Emanu El. In late December, 1930,
the local chapter was host to Pimen
all over the country at the annual
conclave. The chapter is engaged in
Big Brother Movement at present.
They help a group of poor, younger
boys with clothes money. The boys
hold their regular Pilot Club meet
ings, which are sponsored by the
chapter to encourage the boys in
formation of good habits. The young
sters are from the ages of six to ten.
This year a second Birmian, Mer-
vin Blach, was elected international
president. Julien Caheen is a former
president. The Junior Chapter is also
an active one. In 1930 they received
the highest of the two National Jun
ior Awards, editorship of the Pitau-
pian, the fraternity newspaper.
The Z. B. T. Graduate Club, of
which Aaron Silverman is president,
is also an active organization in Bir
mingham. They work hand in hand
with the well-known Psi Chapter at
the University of Alabama.
There are two B’nai B’rith chap
ters in Birmingham. The older lodge,
the 368th, has Mr. Joseph Roubicek
for president. Mr. Eugene Zeidman
is president of the younger lodge, the
725th. The two lodges plan a joint
membership drive in early September.
At present they are supporting the
Memphis Home for the Aged, Leon
Levy Hospital in Little Rock and Hot
Springs, Arkansas, and the Children’s
Home in New Orleans. Besides these,
the lodges engage in other incidental
charities. The 268th chapter has had
two Grand Presidents of District 7,
Mr. Joseph Beitman and Mr. Leo
Oberdofer.
The Zionist Movement here is led
by Dr. H. P. Shugarman. The Ha-
dassah is divided into a Senior and a
Junior group, the Senior organization
having Mrs. Amon Blumberg as its
president, and the Junior having Miss
Pauline Euchvitz as its leader.
Now that you have had a glimpse
of the temples, clubs and other organ
izations of Birmingham, we want to
tell you something of the individuals
who, through their work, have been
recognized all over the country and
have brought prestige to the Bir
mingham Jewish Community.
For six years Rabbi Morris New-
field served as treasurer of the Cen
tral Conference of American Rabbis.
Last year he was vice-president, and
this year he was elected president.
Besides this, Dr. Newfield is very ac
tive in the civic life of Birmingham.
Among other things he is on the
Board of Directors of the Commu
nity Chest, Birmingham’s largest
charity organization, which, this year,
will be under the direction of Mr.
Mervin Sterne, another prominent
Jewish citizen.
Mr. Octavus Roy Cohen, nationally
known writer, has made his home in
Birmingham for a number of years.
Another well-known Jewish figure
and one of the most colorful colle
gians in the country is Frederick
William Sington, otherwise known as
Fred Sington. In addition to his All-
American football laurels, Fred was
elected to Phi Beta Kappa and voted
the most popular student on the Ala
bama campus in 1931. Fred is now
playing professional baseball. He will
be Wallace Wade’s freshman line
coach at Duke University this fall.
Another notable athlete of this city
is Mrs. Carl Hess, known through
out the South for her golfing and
swimming.
Today the three congregations are
drawing closer together. Joint meet
ings were held during the past year;
rabbis visited other congregations;
and the younger crowds went to the
various dances together. And interest
in and union of all Jewish organiza
tions in any city will further the best
interests of all Jewish citizens. Bir
mingham has taken a significant
step in this direction.
