One writer lays stress on che point that *

Lee him alone, TO take his medicine, rather than

The theory Of leaving the bid alone on che
ground that If it Is strong enough for bid It
will not get hurt very badly Is all right but
for two things. These suit bids are not always
as strong as they should be, and even IL they
are they may not be extra long. The con-
sequence is that If the bidder finds he Is going

a representative of the women's or
ganization who preached the plan of
combining the offices of social SER
vice director and Rabbi, thus securing
leader competent to fill the posi-
ton of spiritual as well as recrea-
tional guide for the young people.
The Social Service Department and
the Synagogue are both growing
rapidly and the Talmud Torah will
soon have to send away it's lusty off
spring to new quarters of their own.
It will now be the task Of the La
dies Auxiliary to put it's shoulder
to the wheel and work with might
and main TO make these new ven
lures success.
Before closing the list of the &C
tivities and achievements of the Aux
iliary in it's regular Talmud Torah
work mention should be made of an
innovation introduced by a represent
ative of the women for the considera-
ton of the Board of Directors. This

the Ladies' Auxiliary. For several
years the women conducted sewing
classes and dancing classes for girls,
organized girls clubs, instituted neigh
borhood dancing, maintained study
circle, promoted gardening work
among children, encouraged neigh
borhood improvement, and carried on
other activities too numerous to men,
ton in detail. Finally the work be-
came so extensive and the need for
it's expansion so evident, that it was
felt it should be placed under the
guidance of competent professional
director. Thus, mothered by the
Auxiliary the Social Service Depart
ment of the Talmud Torah came into
being.
Then a new problem arose. The
Talmud Torah as an educational insti-
tuition is doing it's work remarkably
well. 1t has gained national repu-
tation, class after class of young men
and young women have graduated
earnest young people, sincere Jews
who are fired with zeal FOR Judaism,
and an ardent desire to lead Jewish
lives. The existing synagogues made
no provision to take care of these
young people, SO number of them
organized a congregation Of their own
in the Talmud Torah where they met
every Friday evening to conduct di-
vine service in beautiful and order
ly fashion. Their Services attracted
wide attention, and it was felt that
they should be thrown open to the
public. The response was so great
that is was deemed advisable to en-
gage Rabbi to develop the new con-
gregation. Here again the Ladies'
Auxiliary proved of service, for it was

innovation is to put the girl students
on an equal footing with the boys
by giving the girls something CORES
ponding to Bar Mitzvah. The wom-
en- realize as never before that the
future of Judaism and Jewish educa-
ton will be largely in their hands,
for the men are too much engrossed
in the struggle for existence, so that
the training of the children devolves
more and more upon the mother. It
is therefore important that the girls
be not only trained in Hebrew schools,
but that they should be made to real
ize their responsibility as Jewish
women. A Bar Mitzvah ceremony,
following specific instruction in the
special duties and obligations of
Jewish woman, would bring a note
of seriousness and dignity to a young
girls life, which would effectively
mitigate the frivolity and general ir-
responsibility of the young Jewish
girl Of today and make for much bet
ter Jewish mothers in the future.
The Ladies Auxiliary sincerely hopes
that the Board of Directors will
adopt this plan.
However, religious and educational
work does not engross the entire at
tention of the Auxiliary. A glance
at the records for the last seven or
eight years shows that the organiza-
tion has participated in every worthy
movement of general interest to the
community. Under the leadership of
Mrs. David Goldblum the women did
splendid work for the War Chest,
Community Fund and for Zionism.
Mrs. Segelbaum conducted an efficient
sewing unit for the Red Cross during
the War. Mrs. P. Schapiro led our

with pride and qualification that the
first money used in payment for the
new building was furnished by the
Auxiliary The women's organization
has contributed regularly to the sup
port of the Talmud Torah from about
a thousand dollars year during the
earlier years up to three thousand
dollars per annum in more recent
years.
But the value of the Auxiliary to
the Talmud Torah is not to be meas
ured only by it's financial contribu-
ton. Thru the influence of the wom-
en- who took such an eager interest
in the work, many men were attracted
to the Talmud Torah. A survey of
it's board of directors and general
membership will show that many be-
came interested in the institution only
after their wives became interested
in the Auxiliary.
The Social Department of the Tai
mud Torah also owes it's origin to
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1922-09-22
DECADE OF USEFUL AND INSPIRING WORK
By MRS. ALEXANDER herman

"And the study of the Torah is above
ALL"
The Jewish woman of today, as
well as her Gentle sister, is often
accused of trivial and unworthy aims.
Pulpit and press combine to decry
her materialism, to deride her frivol-
ity and condemn her extravaganza.
Yet, are not these manifestations, if
true, rather a superficial froth on the
main current of the Jewish woman's
life?
It is noteworthy fact that never
before have our women taken such
an active interest in all Jewish af-
fairs as they do now. They no long
er confne their interest to philan-
thropy and charity-in which they
had always excelled-but they pay
more and more attention to religious,
civic and educational affairs. It is
significant that the largest and most
fourishing Jewish woman's organi-
cation of Minneapolis has as it's chief
aim the furtherance of Jewish educa-
ton. The Ladies Auxiliary of the
Talmud Torah has completed decade
of useful and inspiring work which
will leave it's mark on the Jewish
community Of the city for years to
come. Starting humbly eleven years
ago, as mothers club, recruited
from the mothers of Talmud Torah
pupils, it has grown to a member
ship of more than five hundred, en-
bracing women from every part of
the city, and from every walk of
life. The original purpose of the
Auxiliary-to provide entertainment
for Talmud Torah pupils on the vari-
GUS holidays, and to supervise sani-
tation in the school building
became but one small detail of it's
work. To Americanize the immi-
grant, and to bring the American
Jewish woman closer to Judaism, to
arouse civic pride as we'll as Jew
ish consciousness; to help eradicate
what is evil among us, and to en-
courage what is good; and above all,
to help make the Talmud Torah
great and effective influence in the
life of the community-such was the
task the Auxiliary set before itself.
That it was successful the long list
of it's achievements can testify.
The women were the first to breach
the plan of erecting new Talmud
Torah building, instead of charging
the old unsanitary fire trap on Bas-
sett Place. It was a daring thing TO
propose in the face of an empty
treasury. The practical minded
among the directors firmly opposed
this "foolhardy" plan, but those with
further vision sided with the Sim
practical women, with the result
that Minneapolis Jewry has been en-
riched by the splendid new Ta1mud
Torah building. The women recall
