 Praised by Judge Saxe
 -Four years ago we met and chose Rabbi Hadas as our spiritual lead CT" said Judge SaXe. We thought and chose wisely. Rabbi Hadas. as everyone knows, has intelligence. He made the community-and particu- larly the Jewish community of New Britain-better for his presence in it. He has always acted without re- gard for himself. and all his actions have been directed to the better ment of the synagogue. He came into our homes. and left us better people for his presence. He has made better Jews out of the Jews of New Britain. He has inspired us to better things.
 By leaving us. he is doing the usual and natural thing. It is fool hardy for young man not to take advantage of an opportunity to do better work. voice the sentiment of every resident of New Britain when I say that wish him success in his new venture. know that he will make good"
 Must Continue Work
 Judge Sake then introduced George Berson. president of the syn sgogue, who declared that the rabbi was counted among his best friends. II know that he will make good" he said, because good is in the man.
 But. If we, the Jewry of New Britain, honor Rabbi Hadas, we must continue the work which he started here. It is only by the sup port of the congregation that the work of Jewry in New Britain, started in such large way by Rabbi Hadas. will succeed"
 Rabbi Aaronson delivered his ad- dress in Yiddish. He stated that ne not only thanked Rabbi Hadas for the things which he had done. but done. He declared that among these things Rabbi Hadas had not done was the fact that he never stirred up strife among the Jews of New Britain. Rather. Rabbi Aaronson said. Rabbi Hadas was peace rhOi dNu d SUOu ohC.
 United Jewry Here
 That the Jewish community in New Britain had been enriched by the coming of Rabbi Hadas was the theme of Re bbi Silverman of Hart ford. the next speaker on the pro- gram.
 Five years ago the condition of New Britain Jewry was chaotic" Rabbi Silverman continued. Each Friday evening many would come 10 Hartford to worship. But the ad- vent of Rabbi Hadas in the com- munity has advanced the standing of the Jews.
 For one thing. he has made the children feel proud that they are Jewish. He has made them con- scious of their heritaEe-the heritage of the ages. He has made them in- terested in Judaism. This wos pioneer work for Rabbi Hadas. and
