LETTERS
to the
EDITORS
Dear Mr. Editor,
In the usual warm and verac
ious style of Vida Goidgar, she
excelled this time in her truly
human touch of “the man” in
her article of A, D. Hodges’ sac
rifice for Israel.
As I am exceedingly impress
ed with Mrs. Goldgari’s journal
istic propensity, so I assume it
was A. D. Hodges who the writer
prior referred to when he said,
“Live to explain thy doctrine by
thy life.”

A remarkable story.
Editor
Dear Sir,
The article in your Dec. 27
issue concerning Julius Ulman,
who for 10 years, worked des
perately to bring his nephew
Boris from Poland, was very in
teresting to me.
I am also from the same town
Mr. Ulman comes from. I have
known him since 1962 and can
attest to the fact that he is a
wonderful person who does many
good things for people including
my self and many more from our
town, including the Szerman
family, the Wisckins, and the
Li sehers.
We all wish him a happy long
life. Thank you.

Dear Editor,
Please relay this message to all
my friends and relatives through
your column.
I wish I had the time to write
each one of you personally, for
it would be nicer that way, but
one oannot find the time here
to do it, between working in the
School’s fields, or in the kitchen,
aside from studies.
First, I hope that all of you
had happy holidays, and I want
to wish everyone a Happy,
Health, and Peaceful New Year.
Being in Israel is an experience
of a life-time, for two reasons.
First, because you are away
from your parents a year. This
is a big change for a fifteen year
old boy, for you have to make
all your decisions by yourself,
without being overshadowed by
your parent’s thinking. You meet
new people, and change your
ideas on just about every sub-

OBITUARIES
Herman Blumenthal of Char
lotte has been named the first
Honorary Life President of Tem
ple Beth El, Charlotte. A special
service was held on January 31
prepared by Rabbi Israel Gerber.
Cantor H. Richard Brown and
Nathan Ades presented special
cantorial selections. Also partici
pating in the service were Mr.
Blumenthal’s wife Anita and
sons, Alan, Philip and Samuel.
His brother, I. D. Blumenthal, on
behalf of the congregation, pre
sented a plaque in which the
honoree was described as “Her
man Blumenthal: Co-Wor k e r
with God.
Mr. and Mrs. C. Schwarz of
Atlanta announce the birth of a
son, Paul, on January 18. The
grandparents are Mrs. Irma Ja
cobson of High Point, N. C., and
Mr. and Mrs. Abraham D.
Schwarz of Nashville. Rev. M.
Kleinman performed the Bris.
ject, because of them.
The second reason, and the
most important, is because you
are in Israel. I have always heard
about Israel and Jerusalem, but
all the teaching and lecturing
falls away, for you can never be
taught how it feels to be here in
Israel, or what to say or do when
you see the Western Wall for the
first time.
I think everyone, not just of
the Jewish faith, but everyone in
the world today, should see Is
rael, for it’s “The crossroads of
the world, the division between
darkness and light.”
I hope everyone is well and
could be here for Passover, like
my parents will be, for then Is
rael blossoms, in the beauty of
flowers and in spirit, the spirit
of life. Sincerely yours,
—IRA GREENBERG
