Birthdays are not always coin
cidental, says the Macon Jewish
community. They feel blessed to
be living at a time in history
when two great occasions blend,
and tlie accomplishments for
Israel of their most renowned
and beloved citizen are being
celebrated on Israel’s 18th Birth
day of statehood. Israel stands
today stronger than ever as the
only truly democratic nation in
the Middle East.
Dr. Julian Morgenstem has
spent a lifetime as a teacher in
the true biblical sense. He is the
dean of the American Reform
rabbis—actually he reveres the
title Rabbi because in the true
biblical meaning of the word a
rabbi is a teacher. He devoted 50
years to preparing young men
for the Reform rabbinate, first
as a professor at Hebrew Union
College, subsequently the total
Master Magician and TV Star To

Jack Malon, master magician,
actor and television star, will ap
pear at the Jack Tar Poinsett
Hotel on May 22 in behalf of the
Israel Bond campaign.
This was annou need by
Harry S. Abrams, chairman of
the Greenville Israel Bond Com
mittee.
Mr. Malon’s career was launch
ed when Blackstone, the world-
famous magician, made him his
protege and taught him the mys
teries of the ancient art of magic.
He has appeared as magician and
as an actor on national television
shows, including “The Milton
Berle Show,” “The Jack Paar
Show,” "Susp ense," “Studio
One,” “The Defenders,” and "The
Trials of O’Brien.” He is well
known for his work in the Cat-
skill mountain resort area, and
holds the distinction of being the
performer called back for the
largest number of return engage
ments at the famous Concord
Hotel.
Mr. Malon has traveled
throughout the United States and
Canada for B'nai B’rith, present
ing a one-man humorous pro
gram entitled “A New Slant in
Comedy.” His alma mater, the
University of Minnesota, has used

his services in touring univer
sities and colleges in a series of
lectures on the subject of “Extra
Sensory Perception versus De
ception.” He has also appeared as
a speaker for the Executive Clubs
and Knife and Fork Clubs
throughout the country.
A member of a St. Paul, Min
nesota theatrical family, Mr.
Malon was brought to New York
as a youngster when his family
moved to that city. He and his
sister had their own weekly radio
program of Jewish comedy
sketches. He gained acting ex
perience as a member of the fa
mous Henry Street Players, and
later appeared for two seasons in
a series of plays by the Yiddish
writer Peretz.

responsibility for the college was
given him when he became its
president. It was during this
period that some of the truly
great Rabbis burst forth on the
American scene. The great Rabbi
Abba Hillel Silver was prepared
under his tutelage. His former
pupil rose to a place in modem
Jewish history as one of the
leaders of the Jewish people’s
fight for statehood in Palestine,
now Israel.
The impression upon Dr. Mor-
genstern was so great that after
retirement he visited the land of
the Bible and was moved to
say. . . “I had always been in
terested in what was going on
there and when I saw what was
developing with my own eyes, I
was determined to return to
America and help in any way
I could.”
Upon his return he was de
termined to become active in the
effort that world Jewry was
making to secure and strengthen
the State of Israel. Even though
he reached 80, he did not feel
that his role could be passive,
and his great moral and spiritual
leadership rallied the community
to new and stronger efforts in
behalf of the State of Israel.
The impact of Dr. Morgen-
stem’s personal leadership has
had a profound and positive ef
fect upon the Reform Rabbinate
throughout America. The great
respect and admiration they have
for him has inspired many of
his former students to follow his
example.
One of the unique meanings
of 18 is that it has a double
meaning in Hebrew — 18 is
“Chai”-“Chai” is the word sym
bolizing Life. World Jewry is
celebrating Israel’s 18th birth
day as “The Year of Chai”—
“Life for a Growing Israel.” To
Macon—celebrating Dr. Morgen-
stem’s 85th birthday along with
Israel’s 18th year of statehood
gives added significance to the
occasion, because the Prime Min
ister of Ikrael has deemed it ap
propriate to bestow upon Dr.
Morgenstern the “Prime Mini
ster’s Medal.” The government of
Israel is officially and formally
noting his life’s work in the
“Year of Chai”—“Life for a
Growing Israel.”
The dinner honoring Dr. Mor
genstem, which is the traditional
and annual occasion for the
Israel Bond dinner, will take
place Sunday evening, May 15,
at the Dempsey Hotel. Reser
vations for the dinner can be
secured by communicating with
the Reservations Chairman, Mrs.
Harold L. Gelfman, 203 River-
dale Drive, telephone 742-2906.
