WHAT OF HILLEL AT ATHENS?
This seems to be a favorite subject of ours at the moment.
This is only because of the importance we attach to Hillel
at the University and because of the fear that the problem
will not be quickly solved.
The picture has changed considerably since our editorial
last spring and in the reshuffle, something might come of
the good intentions of leaders who are mainly hampered by
lack of funds. For one thing, the Athens community has
engaged a rabbi of its own. Thus, the Georgia Association
of B’nai B’rith Lodges is free to tackle the problem solely
from the standpoint of Hillel at Athens — and possibly in
Atlanta without being concerned with the need for sharing
a director with the Athens congregation.
Members of the Athens Temple are to be commended for
taking the initiative in this regard. For if B’nai B’rith fails
again to come through with a solution, the students at least
will not be left wihout a rabbi close by. On the other hand,
if B’nai B’rith could not support part of a director’s salary,
how now can they raise the full amount if Athens is not to
pay part? It must be admitted that in the past it has been
extremely difficult to find a director who would satisfactor
ily divide his time on the one hand with Hillel and on the
other with the Athens Congregation. National Hillel has been
more concerned with furnishing directors to campuses where
there are more than the 250 Jewish students who register
at Athens.
There has of late been more interest in Atlanta and in the
state in the Hillel situation, with activity initiated which
could develop the solution for the only State Association in
the South (to our knowledge) which seems unable to resolve
its Hillel project.
The new president, Abe Kamine of Savannah, is himself
a former faculty member at the University and is quite famil
iar with the limitations and potentials of the problem. He
has indeed taken the initiative and has placed Hillel on the
agenda for the forthcoming weekend executive board meet
ing summoned for Atlanta. The Atlanta B’nai B’rith Council
is prepared to engage a professional for the local colleges
and universities. There has been talk of a committee which
would plunge directly into the raising of funds for a Hillel
House on the campus, with the University furnishing the
grounds.
If B’nai B’rith lodges throughout the state could accept
their responsibility in this regard, the problem would swiftly
be solved, for it remains primarily one of finance and not
of diagnosis. We only hope the new administration of State
Association of B’nai B’rith Lodges will move decisively and
positively in the matter.

Holiday Recipes
In the Hebrew Calendar the
seventh month, TISHRI, brings
us ROSH HASHONAH, the head
or beginning of the year. This
happy holiday has gathered unto
itself a number of delightful food
customs. The prophet Nehemiah
is said to have introduced a Per
sian custom — serving of “some
thing sweet.” Remember his oft-
quoted phrase — “Eat of the fat
an drink of the sweet”?
This custom symbolizes huma
nity's desire for a year of full
ness and prosperity for all man
kind. In our day we place a bowl
of honey and a plate of apple
slices on the festive board to be
eaten by all.
During the Babylonian days of
our history, another food custom
became associated with this holi
day. A whole sheep’s head was
served, symoblizing in graphic
“Eternal Light”
NEW YORK — “The Poor
Community" written by Joseph
Mindel, adapted from an original
story by Abraham Reisen of the
same title, will be presented on
the Eternal Light radio program,
on Sunday, Sept. 11, 1955 (12:30-
1:00 P. M„ EDST, NBC Network).
The program, broadcast on
WSB in Atlanta, will be the first
in the 1955-56 season and will be
in observance of Rosh Hashonah,
the Jewish New Year.
“The Poor Community” is a
story about a community that not
only can’t afford to hire a Rabbi
for the high holidays, but also
loses its shafar blower and Torah
Reader to a wealthier town. For
the first time in years, they must
leave their own Synagogue and
go elsewhere for services. But the
New Year brings hope for bet
ter days to come.

A food custom that is very pop
ular in our own day is the serving
of a “Tj’immes,” especially of
carrots. Many kinds of “Tzim-
mes” have been developed, de
pending on the country from
which the family comes. Look
through your favorite Jewish
cookbook and select any one —
all are traditional and time-hon
ored Rosh Hashonah “musts.” So,
make it of prunes and rice, or
carrots and potatoes (with sweet
potatoes, too), or Nahit with rice
as is customary in the Balkan
countries, but make it sweet with
honey or sugar, and a happy,
healthy, socially useful New Year
to all of you!

sides then add the prepared veg
etables, including the onion if it
is to be used, and the carrot water
by all means. Add salt and hon
ey or sugar. Cover and bring to
a boil. Remove cover, skim well,
reduce heat and let simmer un
covered 2 1/2 to 3 hours or till
the meat is tender. DO NOT
STIR contents of pot. Shake pot
gently occasionally to prevent
■sticking. Water may be added if
necessary. Do not let the onion
cook apart! When it is clear and
soft, lift it out and discard. It will
have added its flavor!
When the liquid has been re
duced by half and the meat is
tender, brown the flour in hot
melted schmaltz in a frying pan
and stir in about a cup of the
Tzimmes liquid, stirring till
smooth. Turn this thickening or
“Einbren” over the cooked Tzim
mes, shake the pot to distribute
and let simmer gently for about

the Tzimmes into a large casser
ole, meat close to the top for bet
ter browning, and bake 30 min

Sear the meat first till nicely

tents in a casserole, adding the
“einbren” if desired. Serves 6.

Be sure to serve your favorite

ably fresh fruit. Black coffee, tea
or wine with cake, cookies, Shtru-
