Years of
Understanding 99
The author of this message of encouragement Ls of course the
contributor of the fine “Talmudic Treasures” trove which appears
regularly on our editorial page. His peripatetic career brought him
refugeeing from Russia to China after World War I and again
after World War II to the United States. In each he has set about
creating a positive life of Jewish education and learning. He is on
the education staff of Ahavath Achim Congregation. Some forty
years ago, while living in Shanghai, he wrote a letter of congratu
lations to a publication in South Africa. The material was re
printed in the Jewish Advocate of Boston and when Editor Joe
Weisberg was in Atlanta in May, Mr. Friend was pleased to have
a clipping of the reprint to show the visitor.—THE EDITOR
It is a rare occasion to
Kiaaonssa
rare occasion to con
gratulate a Jewish journal on the
fortieth Anniversary of its exist
ence. The Talmud (Avoth V,24)
calls it the year of “Understand
ing,” a superior degree to that
of wisdom, and quite rightly, for
over a period of|g
forty years a|T
great amount of
understanding is:,
developed.
At this auspi-;
cious opportun-'
ity I wish to
make an allu-i
s i o n by the,
translation of
short, but mean-1
ingful aphorism from the pen of
one of our guiding lights of the
Haskalah period, the great
Hebrew poet, Judah Leib Gordon
(1830-1892). To make the wit
and poignancy more understand
able, we have to remember the
following: The Hebrew word
"Shevet” has the meaning: “writ
er’s pen, scepter,” and “birch
whip.” Similarly, the word
“Sopher” can mean “writer” and
“to count,” so here it goes:
Among the nations, a man
who drains with the rod pf
a writer,
By countless thousands and
myriads his possessions
wax great;
But in Jewry, a man pulled
by the rod of a writer
Himself is belabored by the
rod—such is his fate.
Dear Adolph: Your “Israelite”
has served well the entire South
eastern Jewry for well over four
decades, a considerable time in
deed, helping and guiding its
organizations, institutions and
many individuals in everything
worthwhile, spiritually, morally
beneficial and noble with its
publicity and gifted editorials.
You have done a magnificent per
formance, dedicating yourself
through the years in highlighting
Jewish problems as they present
themselves from time to time.
Accept my sincerest congratula
tions, and may the Almighty
afford you many more years of
good health and prosper your
responsible efforts and dedica
tion in the interest of Shalom and
Kol Israel.
Sincerely,
Jacob L. Friend
(The above translation of the
poem by Judah Leib Gordon was
made by Mrs. Ben M. Goldgar
of Macon, whose late husband
was a great nephew of the poet.)
