THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
The Year 5601 in St. Paul
JEWISH ACTIVITIES REVIEWED BY JESSE B. CALMENsON

~ NOE more, year wends its
way, as it's end nears New
~ Year, with it's new thoughts,
ideals and aspirations, it's plans and
activities, will soon commence. A new
program for progress must be out
lined. With the old year gone, with a
new year commencing, a fresh start
with new vigor must mark the activi-
ties of the Jewish Community, else
that community becomes stagnant
and loses interest in it's own welfare
We therefore pause, as Time tar
ries in the Years last days, before
the pages of the years book are
sealed, once more to read these pages
through, that we may refresh our
minds, with the results of past at
tempts, the better to be prepared for
the year about to dawn. What do we
find, and what have we done?
THE ALEPH BETH CLUB.
This subject is called to our at
tention first, not only because, to the
writer, it seems the most important
step taken by the st. Paul Jewish
Community, for the past generation,
but possibly also, because the sub
ject is fresh in the mind of the writ
err, as it is the last accomplishment
of the year. Details about the Club
will be found treated on another
page of this issue of the American
Jewish World. Suffice it to say, that
for many years, St. Paul has lacked
any semblance of a place where Jew
ish men and women could gather
essentially Jewish in it's nature
for any purpose whatsoever, whether
social, charitable, cultural or other
wise. The Club has already estab-
lished itself as such an agency in the
community, although fundamentally
social in it's nature. Here men and
women come daily to lunch and to
rest at the midday hour; the daily
contact necessarily brings these bus
mess men and women to an intimate
interest in the manifold problems
which face every Jewish group
The Club being essentially social,
does not fill the need of the pro-
posed Community Building, where
all activities could be conferred, and
where gymnasium, classwork, and
social service facilities should con-
stitute part, for the benefit of every
element and section of the commun-
ity. The Community Building idea
was again revived by various groups,
during the past year, but financial
conditions, and perhaps the success
full establishment of the Aleph Beth
quarters, did not permit the larger
enterprise to blossom into full flower.
Surely, revival of business condi-
lions will again bring this subject
successfully to the front.
B'NAI BIRTH.
The B'nai Birth has continued to
carry on it's work of brotherly love,
benevOlence and harmony. Public
meetings with excellent speakers and
programs were we'll attended once
each month. Popular-priced dances
provided pleasant, clean surround
ings for the young Jewish boys and
girls of the more thickly populated
and less fortunate sections of the
city, with much success, several
times a month. Henry Ford's anti
Semitic attack aroused local Jewry;
the local lodge has co-operated with
the Constitution Grand T,odpa of tho

lNUAlLr VT WAN Dur FEfEhS5.
After much delay, in the hope that
a community Drive for Funds for
Jewish War Sufferers in Europe
would be organized, the city finally
bestirred itself, and during the Holy
days, over $4,000 was raised in
the orthodox synagogues, to buy
bread for the childless mothers and
the mOtherless children of Eastern
Europe; a few months later, Julius
Rosenwald, Chicago philanthropist,
addressing the members Of the Re-
form Temple, secured pledges for
$4,000 additional. st. Paul must
not allow itself to lag in this most
sacred cause of life saving, as it did
previously to last year.
ZIONIST ORGANIZATION.
The essential work of the Zionist
Organization at the present time is
to raise money to assist in upbuild-
ing the Jewish Homeland in Pales-
tine. Since the Palestine Restora-
ton Fund drive of 1920, no
concerted effort to raise funds
for Palestine has been made in
st. Paul. st. Paul Zionists have
nevertheless contributed materially
to a number of enterprises, such as
the Palestine Printing Company, the
Zion Commonwealth, land buying
organization, and the Poale Zion
Tool and Machinery Fund. The gen.
eral public has not been appealed to
for some time for it's assistance.
Millions of dollars will be needed, for
the social, economic and industrial
development of Palestine. Undoubt-
edly considerable will be raised
through the Keren Hayesod, follow
ing the World Zionist Congress,
meeting for the first time, at this
writing, since before the War. Much
will probably be raised also through
the work of the Palestine Develop
ment Associates, headed by Judge
Mack and Justice Brandeis, who are
interested primarily in fostering
necessary Industries in Palestine.
Much useful work, as usual, has
been accomplished by Hadassah,
with it's sewing circles, and ship
ment of clothing and medical sup
plies, and perhaps most effectively by
raising $500, as a result of an en-
tertainment, with which a number
of orphans were adopted.
The Jewish Welfare Association is
name unfamiliar to most of the
readers, due to the fact that the
name is only recent, having been
changed from The Jewish Charities,
the clearing association for St. Paul's
Jewish charitable and social welfare
work. The new name was chosen
because the organization has
dropped many of the attributes which
made it purely an alms-giving or
ganization, and has assumed much
larger scope of activity, making it
the clearing house for social service
work, in all it's branches, among the
less fortunate Jews of the city. 1t is
assisted in the work by number of
Jewish women's organizations, and
through it's efforts, to large extent,
the new social centre in the Lower
Town District was opened. The
financing of the relief work of the
organization is now under the con-
troll of the Community Chest, which
was tried out for the first time in St.
Paul last year, and in the establish
ment and success of which the organ
ization as such, and a number of it's
prominent members, took their prop

VALLEY FORGE
By I. MAXEY

TN THE picturesque valley of the
L Schuylkill river, twenty miles north
west of Philadelphia, there is a sacred
spot at which every American should
give himself the privilege of worship
ing sometime during his or her life
time.
1t is the then unattractive site,
lined with barren, frozen hillsides,
where General George Washington
and his little army of about 10000
half-starved, poorly-clad patriots biv-
Ouaced, suffering unthinkable hard
ship, from December, 1777, to June,
IT'S, following the tragic battle Of the
Brandywine and the occupancy Of
Philadelphia by the British.
This circumstance of history be-
queathed to this hallowed place a
glory and fame which will attach to
1t throughout the ages to come as will
the more recent struggle to the region
OF the Argonne in France.
A tract of about 500 acres has been
purchased by the state of Pennsylvan-
determination and admirable COM
pleteness, is restoring ancient land
marks and transforming this historic
camp-Site of the Continental army
into an everlasting National Shrine.
The Daughters of the American
Revolution have erected a noble shaft
to the unknown who sleep here and
the Valley Forge Museum of American
History contains many relies Of the
day. One fills with emotion as he en-
tiers the little cottage where General
Washington had his simple headquar-
ters and feels the odor of sanctity as
he steps into the Washington Memorial
Chapel, sometimes called The West
minister Of America"
