plumbing business would fit in

As they are now walking, their
discussion is about the Cantor,
whose chanting inspired them.
"Last year’s Cantor,” Uncle Leon
remarked, “was too much of an
actor.”
"Yes, Uncle,” agreed Fritz, “the
cantor, this evening, reminded me
of the one we had in the synagogue
in Frankfort. He surely touched my
heart and I kept on thinking of our
family in Israel.”

“Gut-Yom-Tov," greeted Aunt
Julie Bamburger, “L’Shona-Tova to
us and to all our people.”
As they were to take their places
at the table, Aunt Julie pointed to
a different seat for Fritz to occupy.
She said:
“Sit next to Uncle tonight, for
you are our real Yom-Tov guest.”
“Why?” inquired Fritz with
amazement, “Aunt Julie, I am not
a guest any more. Why shouldn’t
I sit between the boys as usual?”
“Tonight is different,” Uncle
Leon remarked with a wink in his
eye.
While having their meal, Fritz
kept on observing the faces of his
uncle, aunt and cousins, whom he
learned to love. Although they
smiled most of the time, once in
a while he recognized sadness in
their eyes.
When the maid picked up the
dishes from the table, Aunt. Julie
directed her:
“Let Fritz pick up his own plate.”
Again Fritz was wondering why
all these mysterious actions.
Hesitatingly, he lifted his plate
under which there was an en
velope. He took out the contents.
There was a ticket; passage for him
to Israel.
As tears rolled from his eyes, the
Bamburgers shouted half joyfully
and partly regretfully, “Happy
Journey.”

OUR PATTERN FOR WORLD
Support of Democracy Everywhere
by DR. NELSON CLUECK
The prophet Isaiah, who exhorted
the peoples of Israel and Judah to
put aside their faith in armies and
power politics 2,600 years ago, has
a lesson for all of us in all countries
today. It is a lesson we would do
well to take to heart on this, the
Jewish New Year, when we con
sider, according to our tradition,
the events of the year just ended
and the prospects for the coming
year.
Isaiah envisioned a time when
men would “beat their swords into
plowshares and their spears into
pruning hooks”. Isaiah urged his
disciples to speed the day when
the energy devoted to war and the
preparation for war would be chan
neled to the production of useful
and beautiful things for the enjoy
ment of all men, and when justice
and righteousness would prevail.
The new state of Israel established
in war will endure through peace.
Its security and the world’s best
defense lie in the ceaseless support
of democracy and the strengthen
ing of the decency and dignity of
all individuals.
We Jews have survived through
the centuries because our prophets
and priests and rabbis, our philoso
phers and poets, have clung
throughout history to the timeless
tradition of the Torah, the Moral
Law. We have endured because
of our continuous concern for the
kindly and compassionate conduct
of men with their fellows, and for
man’s relationship to God. The his
tory of Jewry is fused with the
worship of the God of Abraham
and of Isaac and of Jacob. It is a
tradition of discipline and of de-

votion to the God of History and
Humanity.
Through the invigorating under
standing of our historic personality,
we Jews will be better prepared to
participate in the building of the
America of the future, and to cope
with the problems that assail all
souls. Here we take our stand with
our fellow Americans to help pre
serve in this country, and to re
store elsewhere, a spiritual climate
in which freedom of expression,
liberty of conscience, and equality
of opportunity shall prevail.
We of the Hebrew Union College
in Cincinnati and of the Jewish
Institute of Religion in New York,
together with our fellows of other
faiths, are committed to the carry
ing out of God’s commandments.
