necessary campaign materials:
suggestions for the campaign, the
Ha-Moreh Tzedakah issue, en
velopes for children from first
through third grade, pledge cards
for children from the 4th grade
through confirmation, .posters,
class charts, wall charts and other
materials.
The students in post-confirma
tion classes will not be involved
in this school campaign but will
be solicited through the Youth
Division of the Atlanta Jewish
Welfare Fund. However, the ed
ucational aspects of the campaign
will bo so conducted as to include
these post-confirmation groups.
The school directors together
with the teachers and children,
will make the Atlanta Jewish
Welfare Fund School Campaign
a true experience in learning and
giving. It is anticipated that
Tzedakah and the Atlanta Jewish
Welfare Fund will once again
have a banner year, according to
Fund officials.
In a letter distributed to the
children of the religious school,
one of the school directors wrote
as follows: “ ... In the event
you are wondering why your
child is being asked to give sep
arately (above and beyond your
own contribution) . . . may we
explain that charity or philan
thropy (“Tzedakah” - giving as
part of righteous living) is one
of the fundamental concepts which
undergirds all of Jewish life.
Tzadekah, and the attitude to
wards Tzadekah is therefore one
of the basic pillars in the Jewish
education of our children.
“The meaning of the weekly
contributions that your child
makes in his religious school
class will be emphasized and
highlighted during this campaign.
It would be preferable if your
child contributed from his own
money or from the money which
he has earned. However, since
in many cases the children will
be given the money by their
parents, we are taking the liberty
of asking of parents in planning
their contributions to the gen
eral campaign to set aside an ade
quate sum for children to give
on their own to our school drive.”

DAVID BECOMES A ROBIN HOOD
Dear Boys and Girls:
Last week we saw how Jona
than helped David escape from
king Saul who, in deep jealousy,
sought to slay the lad from Beth
lehem who had been selected by
God to become Israel’s true king.
And so, away David went, not
waiting even to take food or
supplies with him, nor even a
sword. His only weapon was ab
solute faith in God and hope
that justice would eventually
prevail.
High in the Judaean hills were
bears and lions by the thousands,
and it was in the midst of their
dens that David found a safe
cave called Adullam. Here he
made his hideout. It was here
also that he began his Robin
Hood life.
Soon a band of bold and fear
less men gathered about him.
There were his brothers from
Bethlehem. There were his three
daring nephews, each as swift as
a deer. There were bowmen who.
could shoot an arrow with either
the right or the left hand. Every
one who was in trouble found
his way to David. In time there
were six hundred loyal men in
his band.
The shepherds in the wilder
ness were real glad to have
David nearby. For his men, like
the men of Robin Hood, fought
off the robber bands that came
to steal their sheep. In return,
the rich sheep owners sent David
gifts of food, bread and meat,
com and grapes and figs. With
David for a friend thqy knew
their flocks were safe.
But David was never safe. Saul
and his army pursued him from
place to place and never gave
him rest. Once it happened that
Saul came to the very cave where
David was hiding. Saul’s soldiers
brought a great boulder and plac
ed it before the entrance. Then
they lay down to sleep, not know
ing that behind them, deep in the
mountain, were David and his
men. During the night David
slowly crept up to the sleeping
king who had murder in his
heart. David came near enough
to cut off the bottom of Saul’s
robe. But he would not harm
him. Here you see the difference
in the spirit of two men.
In the morning, when Saul
learned that David had spared
his life, he was ashamed and re
turned to his home. But soon
the old fear and hate came back.
Again the king went out to
search for David. This time he
took with him three thousand of
his best fighters. In the wilder
ness of Ziph, which is in the
heart of the Negetr, they set up
camp.
Again, David did not wait for
Saul to attack. Taking one of
his nephews with him, he stole
into Saul’s camp in the night.
The whole army lay asleep, the
King, the soldiers, Abner the
captain. Saul’s spear was stuck
in the ground near his head.
David’s nephew whispered to
him, “God has put your enemy
into your power. I beg you, let
me pin him to the earth with his
own spear.”
But again David the anointed
of God spared Saul’s life. "God
forbid that I should hurt him,”
he said to his nephew. David
then took the king’s spear and
his jug of water and left the
camp. From the opposite hill
David called across the valley.
“Abner, what sort of man are
you? Why have you not kept
guard over the king? You deserve
to die for failing to watch over
your master.” Then David raised
Saul’s spear and jug of water
above his head and called, “See
where the king’s spear is, and
the jug of water that was at his
head. Let one of your young men
come over and get them.”
The King recognized David’s
voice. “Is it you, my son David?”
he asked. David answered, “It
is, O King. Why do you pursue
me? What wrong have I done
you? Why do you hunt me as men
hunt wild birds in the moun
tains?” Saul said: “I have done
wrong and acted foolishly, my
son David. Return. I will do you
no more harm. Twice you have
spared my life.”
But David thought, “Today the
king loves me. But tomorrow
the old sickness will return and

he will fear and hate me again.
If I remain I shall surely be cap
tured by him some day. There is
but one thing to do. I must escape
to the land of the Philistines.
Then Saul will hunt for me no
more So David took his faithful
band and went over to the land
of the Philistines where the
people gave him a place in the
country to live in, and David
and his men settled there and
brought over their wives and
children. Often David led his
men on raids against the Amale-
kites, but never did he help the
Philistines fight against his own
people, the people of Israel.
Next week, we continue the
story and see what happened to
