"UNITY, BY GODJ”

The passage in Genesis to be read
this Sabbath contains one of the most
moving pleas in all of Biblical litera-
ture. Judah, one of the more responsi-
ble sons of Jacob, appeals to Joseph,
Pharoah's minister, for the return of
Benjamin. Not knowing that the King's
minister was none other than Joseph, his
brother, Judah offers himself in place
of Benjamin in order to spare his fath-
er the anguish of this loss. Joseph
reveals his true identity finally and
unites with his brothers.

All of this narrative directs it-
self to an ideal which is uniquely
Jewish. In his sermon of Friday, Jan—
uary h, at 8:00 P. M., the Rabbi will
discuss this theme which he has en-
titled: ”Unity, By God!”

BOOK REVIEW GROUP

How basic is basic Judaism? How
broad is the view of Jews? What are
the groups and their positions in Juda-
ism? How do we as Jews approach Israel
Jewish law, God, Torah, the good life,
the world-to—come, etc? These are only
a few of the questions that will be
touched upon in a discussion and analy—
sis of the book ”Basic Judaism" by
Milton Steinberg, on Monday, January 1h,
at 8:00 P. M., in the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Harold Pressman, 3029 Shirlee
Court.

The Book Review Group meets on a
monthly basis in the home of a Temple
member for a discussion of suggested
and approved books of interest. Each
session is an independent one. Please
feel free to attend whether you have
done so in the past or not.

The book to be discussed in January
is now available in the Temple office

THE VALUE OF A SMILE

It costs nothing, yet creates much.
It enriches those who receive, with—
out impoverishing those who give.

It happens in a flash and the memory
of it sometimes lasts forever.

No one is so rich he can get along
without it, and no one is so poor but
that he is richer for its benefits.

It creates happiness in the home,
fosters good will in business and is
the countersign of friends.

It is rest to the weary, daylight
to the discouraged, sunshine to the
sad, and nature's best antidote for
trouble.

And if in the hurry and rush of the
day, you meet someone who is too weary
to give you a SMILE...1eave one of yours

For no one needs a smile so much as
those who have none left to give.

 UNDERSTANDING THE BIBLE

"The need to be ready to stand
alone by pioneering convictions is
the Reform concept of the Hebrew
Bible. There are two possible points
of view about the Bible. One is that
it is the word of God. The other view
maintains that it is the record of
man's quest for the word of God. A
world of difference divides the two
opinions. When we insist that the
Bible is the word of God, we are
thrown into a heap of confusion with—
in ourselves, toward our children and
toward the non-Jewish world in attempt-
ing to reconcile the irreconcilable
magnificent portions of the Bible with
the myths and legends, the crudities
and cruelities to be found in it.
Whereas, if we see the Bible as the
‘ record of man’s quest for the word of
God, the perspective is clear, with
man one moment reaching to heights of
eternal Visions, the next moment bog—
ged down by his human frailties, lim-
itations and passions."

"AFFIRMATION"

By Debby Milner
(From a sermon preached at our Temple on Friday, December 28, 1962)

Perhaps you have wondered how a Confirmand from our Sunday School and a grad-
uate of our Youth Group feels about a new life away at college. Has his prepara-
tion for becoming an adult Jew been adequate and what part has it played in his
life? How different are the prejudices and challenges?

In order to properly present my answers to these questions let me start at the
beginning. As a child, I don't believe I thought too much about God or Judaism.
Nightly prayer was an excuse to delay going to sleep. Badness was associated more
with punishment than with wrong, and services were something to sit through with
the reward of a tasty reception.

I don't remember worrying and wondering about being Jewish at that stage either.
I accepted being Jewish in the same category as being a girl or living on Fithian
Avenue. In a small town the size of Paris there could be little anti-semitism per-
sonally directed against me. Since I was the only Jew in the school system, anti-
semitism among my colleagues could consist only of whether or not they liked me.

Sunday School could be fun or boring, much depended on the teacher. I only saw
the students in my class that once a week. They weren't as much Jewish friends as
Sunday School friends.

Later Sunday School began to mean much more to me. The history of our people,
their achievements and martyrdom made me proud to be a Jew and very thankful to be
an American. It has left me with the still unanswered question of why has the Jew
been subjected to persecution and cruelty in every age. Sunday School was teach-
ing me to understand the meaning and beauty of the ritual, the poetry of religion.
Culminating with the Confirmation Class I began to realize the bedrock of Judaism
on which everything else stands, the true meaning behind the history and ritual,
that of ethics and ideals.

As an adolescent, God and Judaism took on a more personal meaning. Friday night
services ceased being a bore and became thought provoking and inspirational. I de-
veloped a belief in talking to God which I wish I still could believe in.

My Jewishness became more a part of me although most of my friends were not
Jewish and I still hadn't experienced any anti-semitism.

During my Confirmation year many of my ideas about Judaism and life were formed.
After Confirmation, Sunday School was replaced_by the Youth Group which gave me the
chance to meet and work with Jews my agelfrom many places. This experience in meet-
ing people and making friends, whose friendships I still value, was good practice
for life at college.

The Youth Group gave me opportunities to participate in and observe special
study sessions, worship services, and good deeds which had a great part in making
Reform Judaism more meaningful to me. I can never forget the fine people I met

 

 and the wonderful things I saw and did at OVFTY-toots and Institute. The Youth
Group also gave me my best experience in leadership, its duties and responsibili-
ties, joys and frustations.

During my Youth Group years I began thinking in terms of ethics...honesty and
justice...and I began choosing my friends and heroes accordingly. I also became
aware of the character of my parents, how it met and indeed helped to form my own
standards.

Faced with going away to college last summer, my main emotion was one of fear;
fear that I wouldn't measure up socially or academically. I was the victim of a
last minute panic at the thought of this total loss of security. I worried about
whether or not people would like me and wondered if I would get along with my
roommate.

All my fears were quickly eliminated, except the academic ones, which still
haunt me. I get along well with my roommate, a Protestant who is converting to
Catholicism. We have a mother-daughter like relationship, and I love her dearly.
The girls in the dorm are just plain wonderful. Never before have I made so many
strong and good friends so fast, and again the majority of them are not Jewish. Any
anti-semitism has been well hidden. My views in bull-sessions concerning religion
or morality are, like everyone else's, listened to with respect and interest. If
you are looking for prejudice you might find it, but I haven't.

I don't get to services as often’as I should. I was disappointed in the regu-
lar Hillel services, which are Conservative, closer to Orthodox than Reform. It is
as much my fault as theirs that they do not inspire or help me.

I do like to get out my prayer book and have my own service. This personal
private service always leaves me with a peaceful and rewarded feeling.

One's religious ideas are supposed to change radically during the college years.
Mine have changed very little so far. It is true that I have discarded answers to
some questions, but I still haven't found the right answers. There are questions
about God, death, and evil which I may never resolve to my own satisfaction.

Most of the ideas I went to college with have been proved and further cemented
in my mind by dorm life and college life in general. Truth and justice are still
important to me and my standards of honesty and goodness for measuring people have
not changed. It is more necessary now than ever to judge people on their own merits
and not by their status, skin pigmentation, or religion. I honestly believe I am
being judged this same way.

Time and time again it has been proved to me that honesty and consideration of
others are rewards in themselves and must be present for peace of mind. Also, they
are almost always returned.

I went to college with some pretty definite ideas about intermarriage, civil
rights, prejudice, and what constitutes right behavior. Although I haven't been
away long enough to become really cynical or radical, I don't believe it will ever
happen. If one's religious ideals are strong enough, if they have a firm enough
foundation in truth and reason, they will withstand almost any test. I only hope
mine can meet the tests to come as well as they met those which are past.

This speech is especially fitting for Chanukah, a time of rededication and re-
evaluation to the ideals and history of Judaism. We should all take the time to re-
evaluate our feelings about life, God, and Judaism, especially in this time of

confusion about purpose and identity.

 

 I want to thank this congregation, my first and closest link with Reform
Judaism, for all the opportunities and training it has given me through Sunday
School, Rabbi and Youth Group.... all of which have helped make me what I am.
May all your children be fortunate enough to have the same opportunities.

"REFORM JUDAISM: EMOTION OR REASON"

Jacob lay on his death bed and call-

ed his children before him in a final
blessing. Joseph was uniquely blessed
through his children when Jacob re-
called the loyalty of his own fathers
to God and God's response to the Pat-
riarchs. An analysis of this blessing
will shed light on one of the impor-
tant problems in Reform Judaism today;
the relationship of reason to emotion.
On Friday, January 11, the Rabbi will
discuss this in a sermon entitled
"Reform Judaism: Emotion or Reason."

"WHEN IS A JEW NOT A JEW?"

On December 6, 1962, the Israeli
Supreme Court ruled that Brother Dan-
iel, a Jewish-born Roman Catholic monk,
now residing in Haifa, Israel, could
not be called a Jew under the Law of
Return. The questions dealt with in
this case centered about the following:
Is anyone who calls himself a Jew auto-
matically Jewish? Does a Jew who con—
verts to Christianity remain a Jew? Can
one be a Jew and a Christian at the
same time? Is it true that ”once a
Jew- - always a Jew?” The Rabbi will
discuss these questions in his sermon
of Friday, January 18, entitled "When
Is A Jew Not A Jew?"

 FROM THE PRESIDENT OF HEBREW UNION COLLEGE-JEWISH INSTITUTE OF RELIGION
(Excerpts from a recent report)

Dear Friend,

... This last June, thirty-one students were ordained as rabbis. Seven took
pulpits of their own, mostly in young congregations; ten became assistant rabbis;
another ten entered the military Chaplaincy; and four accepted other positions or
decided to pursue advanced specialized study. Their places were taken, on our
Cincinnati, New York and Los Angeles campuses, by new students coming from many
sections of the United States and abroad.... Presently, the Ell students forming
the student body of our Rabbinic Departments come from 30 states and eight foreign
countries, some as far away as India and Japan...

During the past few years our admissions office noticed that a steadily in-
creasing number of inquiries was being received from high school students express-
ing a keen interest in a rabbinical career...

From the interviews and correspondence we have with these students it is evi—

ent that this trend is mainly due to two factors. One is the growth and increas-
ing impact of NFTY, the National Federation of Temple Youth; and the other is the
;rsonal influence of the local rabbi....
We are glad that so many more boys growing up in the milieu of Reform Judaism
’1 to think of becoming rabbis before they enter American colleges and univer-
We have always insisted that the students whom we accept for rabbinical

g must have a full secular college education; we therefore advise the boys
to get a broad liberal arts education rather than to focus their studies in a
narrow utilitarian sense to their future rabbinical career...

Our rabbis are not merely preachers, but educators, administrators, social
workers, leaders and counselors in the complexities of modern life. Our expanding
curriculum reflects this broadened scope. Our students receive intensive instruc-
tion in the field of human relations and group psychology, study the family and
other groups of our modern social system in the light of the rabbi's function as
a community leader, and become acquainted with the principles and methods of mod—
ern teaching and school administration.

We of the College point with pride to our up-to—date training facilities....
We take advantage of technical advances, yet we know that.our aim is not the train-
ing of technicians, but the education of Jewish men of God. This education rests
on Jewish learning and ideas. Only such an education leads to Jewdsh expression
full of power and conviction. It molds men in whom the spirit of Jewish religion
acts as a life—force, and the ideas of Judaism live with an immediacy which creates
inner authority, recognizable and therefore recognized...

Today the majority of our professors are graduates of our College. The des-
struction of the European centers of Jewish learning and the rapid coming to
world leadership of American Judaism have made it our responsibility to train our
academic teachers. Thus a threefold, yet interwoven task has been entrusted to
us: securing the sacred continuity of learning, learners and teachers. It can be
fulfilled only if American Reform Jews acknowledge the vital importance of rabbini-
cal training by continuous support.

”IN GOD'S NAME"

 

The Bible contains many names for God,
each one implying a unique approach to
God. Different strata of the Bible
speak of God as a source of power or
love, mercy or harsh retribution, kind-
ness or vengeance; a seeming contra-
diction. On Friday, January 25, the
Rabbi will analyze the names of God,
their implications and their basic
consistency in his sermon entitled
”In God's Name.”

 

THE MOOD FOR PRAYER

When we gather in our sanctuary, we
gather for reflection upon the larger
meaning of the joys and sorrows of life.
We gather here to set aside our daily
preoccupations.... or to relate them to
the high values, the moral purpose, the
deep faith of our heritage. We gather
here for prayer....the Service of the
Heart.

Such service calls for quiet, inner
contemplation. It calls for directing
our hearts toward reverence, toward con-
versationless meditation. It calls for
the creation of a mood that will be re-
ceptive to prayer.

As we enter our sanctuary let us

’prepare ourselves and respect our neigh-

bors' wish so to prepare for the Service
of the Heart.
