HEBREW CONGREGATIONS

Chanukah and Purim they have sent
up sweets and goodies. They have paid
for special messes on Rosh Hashan-
all and Erev Yom Kippur and provid-
ed for the Sedar we gave the men.
Not only do we remind these men in
material way that they are Jews;
but / am particularly anxious to have
them understand their spiritual herit-
age which will keep them true to duty
ann out of disciplinary and peniten-
tential institutions. And some Of
them are pathetically eager to learn.
That is what makes the work so hope

have had reviews and discussions
based on these books. My method va.

At the United States penitentiary,

To the Department Of Synagog and

telligence, at least the prisoner COM
pares favorably with the average and
at the United States Penitentiary, well

REDEEMING THE ERRING.

Rabbi Jacob I. Meyerovitz, Of Con-
gregation B'nai Jeshurun, Leaven-
worth, Kansas, who for two years has
been active in cooperating with the
activities Of the Department Of Syna-
cog and School Extension, among the
various prisons in his vicinity, reports
of his work in part, as follows:
"Leavenworh, Kansas, has the du-
bious distinction of being the prison
center of America. There are four in
situations in its vicinity. Two Of these
belong to the state; the others are of
national Importance. At the Industrial
Farm for Women there are none who
are Jewish; the State Penitentiary at
Lansing contains four Jews, two of
who are serving sentences for life. No
regular work is carried on here. We
see to it that they have Matzoth for
Passover; and on the High Holidays
and also on Passover they are per-
mitted to come to our Temple in the
company Of the Chaplain, II they so
desire. At our community Seder held
for civilians and soldiers, two of these
attended. They were well dressed,
well-mannered and few knew they
were prisoners.
Two other institutions are the Dis
ciplinary Barracks of the United
States Army and the United States
Pententiary. The former is a prison
for purely military offenders. There
have also been geart many draft
dodgers and conscientious DIRECTORS
confined here.
Confinement at the Disciplinary
Barracks does not stamp one as a
criminal or felon nor does it cause one
to lose his status as a citizen. Pris-
oners may work their way up to hon.
orable restoration and discharge from
the United States Army, if they are
so minded, by means of the Battalion
attached to the Barracks. Normally,
there are from twenty to thirty jew
ish inmates at the Disciplinary Bar
racks. But owing to the War the num-
Der was increased.
The Jewish Welfare Board has been
very helpful in the work here. On
