fight with them even against his
own tribe"
One grunt of rage ran the round
of three circles and yet Pontiac
stopped Crooked Lightning and
turned to the lad. Slowly the boys
uplifted hand came down.
With a bound he leaped through
the head-dress of a chief in the
outer ring and sped away through
/ the village.
Some started on foot after him,
some rushed to their ponies, and
some sent arrows and bullets after
him.
At the edge of the village the boy
gave a loud, clear call and then
another as he ran. Something
black sprang snorting from the
edge of the woods with pointed
ears and searching eyes.
Another call came and like the
swirling edge of a hurricane-driveI
thunder-cloud Firef1y swept afte1
his master. The boy ran to meet
him, caught one hand in his name
| before he stopped, swung himself
up, and in a hail of arrows and
bullets swept out Of sight

The sound of pursuit soon died
away, but Erskine kept Firef1y al
his best, for he knew that Crooked
Lightning would be quick and fast
on his trail.
He guessed that Crooked Light
ming had already told the tribe
what he had just told the council
and that he and the prophet had
already made use of the boys

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

To give credit where credit is due.
One must admit that winning over the
young for this activity was the accom-
plishment of DR.. Geo. J. Gordon, who
joined me in working for the Talmud
Torah years ago. Now we have
young workers, who are working so
earnestly for Zionism and Jewish
causes that now it is almost re-
proach to any young man not to be
Jewishly minded. I must also ac-
knowledge the assistance of the young
rabbis,-Rabbi G. David Matt, and
latterly, Rabbi A. M. Heller. In ad-
dition to the Talmud Torah, we now
boast the Jewish Sheltering Home for
Children, a truly Jewish Home, an
ornament to the City, also, fine
Hachnosas Orchim, not merely rent
ed room; Bikur Cholim Societies
Associated Jewish Charities, not to
mention unofficial charity for local
and other poor.
I can truly say that the American
Jewish World, through it's news and
editorial columns, has been most use
full in strengthening Judaism here
and throughout the Northwest.
Therefore, after twenty years of
labor, with heart full Of rejoicing,
I extend to all the Jews of Mime
apolis, heartiest greetings for "K'-
sivo Va-Hasimo Tovoh" ",-Happiness,
Health and Prosperity-to them and
their dear ones, and I extend cordial
thanks to all those who have helped
strengthen Judaism in Minneapolis.
I hope that very soon we will have
a city-wide Talmud Torah system,
North, South, and West, with classes
even for the study of the Talmud
and even a club with a lunchroom
where shall be able to eat, together
with you all.

THE KENESSETH ISRAEL

This, the oldest orthodox syna-
gogue on the North Side, in it's
growth really reflects the growth and
development of the largest share of
the Jewish community of Mime
apolis. Beginning more than twenty
years ago, by holding services in
loft at Second Street and Sixth Ave-
nue., it built it's first synagogue at
Fourth Street and Sixth Avenue N,
where it remained until nine years
ago when it removed to it's present
magnificent synagogue building on
Lyndale Avenue North near Sixth
Avenue. The new structure, COM
modious, attractive, and built in ac-
cordance with the latest word in
synagogue architecture, house
countless activities, religious and cul-
tural. There are numerous study
groups in Gemarah, Mishnah, and
Bible. There is hardly an hour in
the twenty-four when there is not
some religious activity in this syna-
gogue. In addition, it is the most
popular and frequently used meeting
place in all public Jewish undertak-
ings where a large, convenient audi
torium is needed. When the new

full synagogue in the Northwest, is

brance.
Talmud Torahs we have three in
addition to the Talmud Torah at
Eighth Avenue and Fremont, the pride
of Minneapolis, with it's Hebrew class
es, it's Sunday School, and alumni.
And now we are on the threshold of
one city-wide Talmud Torah system
for which the whole community can
work; and, best of all, it is the young
generation, with it's vitality and
energy, which is working whole-heart-
edly to strengthen Judaism. My heart
overfows with rejoicing. Had any
one told me twenty years ago that
these things would be possible, I
would not have believed it.

ly and spiritually. Materially,-now
even a twenty-five dollar donation is
considered small, as can be seen by
the records of the Kenneseth Israel
to whom, by the way, much of the
progress and improvement can be
ascribed. For instance, when I made
my first appeal for the new synagogue
on Passover, 1912, I raised six thou
sand dollars, which included many
donations of one hundred dollars and
over. The same was true to greater
extend with the new Talmud Torah
building.
That Minneapolis has grown spirit
ually also is beyond question. Now
we boast eight splendid synagogues,-
five on the north side and three on
the south. The Kenneseth Israel a

Israel.
From the financial side also this
synagogue represents a unique
record. When the new building was
first conceived, the treasury was
practically empty. An appeal on
Passover 1912 brought subscriptions
totaling six thousand dollars. But
the officers and the building commit
tee were hopeful and daring. They
contracted for synagogue that
would cost over seventy thousand
dollars, and although changes and
additions in the plans and the pur-
chase of adjoining lots to give the
edifice a finer setting brought the
total cost much above the original
estimate, in 1921 the last of the
mortgages was paid off, and the
h0uOSS0Lu 1SIdSl lIOW ChIM Oiy
incumbered. The officers, during
these years, since the building OF the
Synagogue were: Nathan Lowen-
thai, President; Abe Kaplan, Vice
President; Nathan Eisenstadt, Sec
retary, an office which he has held
only twenty years; Henry B. Cohen,
Treasurer, the kind of treasurer, by
the way, who has often carried the
hoI nil 0f
several thousand dollars. In this
office, he succeeded the late Joseph
Cohen, his father. The present Of
ficers are: Max Davis, President; I.
Schulman, Vice-President; Nathan
Eisenstadt, Sec.; Henry B. Cohen,
Treasurer and Nathan Lowenthal,
Abe Kaplan, Benz. Nathanson, L. B.
Levin, and Meyer Swiller, Trustees.
And now. free of debt, newly
decorated, feeling young in spite of
being the Oldest congregation on the
North Side, the Kenesseth Israel is
looking forward to future more
notable and useful even than it's past.
GEMILUS CHESED
The Gemilus Chesed, on Girard
Avenue North, is doubly interesting
name of a two-fold institution.
Originally, it was applied to the
synagogue alone, but has, for the
last few years, been mostly associated
with the Gemilus Chesed as the free
loan society. The loan feature de-
veloped from the synagogue some ten
years ago, when the proceeds from a
Minyan for the Holy Days became
the nucleus for the loan fund. Since
then, additional capital, to make pos
sible loans to the poor without in
terest has been raised by the pay
ment of ten dollars as a life member
ship fee. At first, the privilege OF
making the loan was restricted to
life members, but now non-members
who are poor and need to tide them
selves over by means of loan are
given the preference. The only Sc
curity they need bring is honesty and
the desire to repay the loan. During
the first eight months of 1922, more
than nine thousand dollars has been
circulated, altho the capital of the
Gemilus Chesed is only five thou
sand dollars. It's usefulness is
limited only by the funds at it's dis

in succession, to all my friends, the
Jews of Minneapolis, my New Year
greetings, I am happy to pause and
note how full measure of fulfill
ment has followed my blessing on pre-
vious new years, and my labors to
strengthen Judaism here in the North
west, and how much growth there has
been during my incumbency as ortho-
dox rabbi.
There is still room for plenty of
accomplishment and improvement,
but I hope that as time passes the
community will continue to grow and
secure what it needs. How different
Jewish Minneapolis is now from what
it was twenty years ago, when l
first came! Then the City was poor,-
materially and spiritually. 1t surely
has grown materially. When I would
go out in those days to raise funds for
public purposes, one dollar was con-
sidered a good-sized donation. When,
in the second year, | went out for
Mo-os Chitim, and received two dona-
tions of ten dollars each, was over
joyed. True, no one refused to con-
tribute, but to raise four or five hun
dred dollars meant hard work and
going all over the city.
Spiritually, however, conditions
were much worse. All told, | found
on the North Side only the Kenneseth
Israel Synagogue, the newly COM
pleted Mikro Kodesh and small
"Tavriger Schul," while on the South
Side there was only the small old,
B'nai Abraham Synagogue. All of
them were encountered with heavy
mortgages, not to mention other
debts. That main spring of Jewish
life, Jewish education, intended to in
sure a generation possessing Jewish
knowledge that would bear aloft proud
ly the banner of the Jew, was at that
time in very deplorable condition.
The entire city boasted one small
Talmud Torah which the Kenneseth
Israel Synagogue accommodated with
rooms, heat and light. With but few
to assist me, the main burden Of
raising the necessary funds for the
Talmud Torah lay on my shoulders.
am not mentioning the names of
these workers because to do so would
be writing it's history. We tried to
improve methods and conditions of
teaching, but what could small in
stitution do? Then they also "peddled
with the sidur," the sum total Of the
instruction being to teach the child
to recite the Kadish-it often seemed
to me as if we were teaching the
young to say Kadish for Judaism.
The young generation was far from
Judaism and knew not what it stood
for. Probably they were ashamed of
the name "Jew" and of their Jewish
parentage In fact, in my sermons
on Rosh Hashonoh and Yom Kippur,
would content myself with urging
the young generation that when they
did attend ball they should at least
take Jewish young lady to the dance,
which many at that time refused to
do. AS to working for Judaism, that
was out of the question. The young
would have nothing to do with that.
Zionism could be preached only to the
old, and the extent of Zionist work
was selling Sh'Kolim or few Jewish
Colonial Trust shares.
I re-organized the Chevra Mishnah
and the Chevra Shoss, for the old,
but my heart bled to see the gulf be-
tween the old and the young. Such
was the deplorable condition of
Judaism throughout the Northwest,
Bogalusa enterprise and American. (Bogalusa, La.) 1918-19??, 1922-04-20
