A Leader Of American Jews

| should become the SeVentn pEooI-
dent of what is now the oldest
national Jewish organization In
the country.
Henry Monsky is not a new
face" in Jewish life by any means.
In December it will be exactly
twenty-five years since the Amer
lean Jewish Congress met. Mr..
Monsky represented Omaha, his
birthplace. at that session. At
fifty-three he can look back upon
an eventful. colorful. successful
career in his profession, in his
community, among his people.
The details Of his biography
catch only the shadows of his life
and do not reveal its full intensi-
ty. In 1912 he graduated from
Creighton University and immedi-
ately began a law practice that
was to become one Of the most
respected in Nebraska. From the
beginning he was fully integrated
as an American and as Jew. He
became President of the Omaha
Talmud Torah; he also headed the
Omaha Council of Boy Scouts.
His forward-looking social con-
victions were responsible for the
founding of the Omaha Communi-
ty Chest. He also headed the
Jewish Federation. The recogni-
ton that he enjoyed throughout
the State was manifested in his
election to the presidency Of the
Nebraska Conference of Social
Work.
During these years he played a
notable part in the development
of the organization which he now
heads. At regional and national
meetings, his logic and his con-
sciseness inevitably directed at
tention to him. Men began to
rally around the banner of his
ideas. If in the last two decades
the B'nai Birth has changed its
character-Or, rather, has adapt
ed its character to the changed
conditions of Jewish life, Henry
Monsky should be given a SUBJ
stantial part of the credit. The
A. Z. A., one of the most effect
i've youth groups in the Jewish
community, owes much to his in
terest, although he was not its
sponsor. Omaha, which seems to
have more vigorous Jewish lead
ership per capita than many COM
munities of its size, was its birth
place. The Hillel Foundations
which have proved to be one of
the most valuable contributions to
the Jewish education of college
students, received their impetus
from a S2.OOO,OOO campaign which
Henry MOnsky headed in the
1927-1929 period.
Henry Monsky has exerted
profound influence on the direc-
ton of B'nai Birth. He, perhaps
more than any other single per-
son, is responsible for the import
ant position which it has assumed
in the totality of American Jewish
life. That is because the B'nai
Birth is responsible to the trends
of Jewish thought; has a univer-
salistic interest in every problem
that affects the Jewish communi-
ty. Once hospitals, orphan asyl-
ums and similar philanthropic in
stitutions were the sole interest of
B'nai Birth. Today, Jewish edu-
cation, Palestine, conservation of
the rights of Jews everywhere are
at the very center of its program.
Among the factors responsible
for Henry NIOnsky's rise to leader
ship are: his affability as a per-
Son, his simplicity in phraSing a
thought, his fOrcefulness in pro-
jecting an idea, and, not least, his
physical impressiveness. His fea-
lures, above all his face, have the
quality of a Jacob Epstein scuIp-

CHAPTER i w Elm 4 -blGllA
DURING THE busy days that
folloWed-each more filled with
trouble, problems and personal
matters than the one before
Adam frequently had quick and
!feeting memories OF his visit with
Brenda In the tower room. And
when he remembered the kiss, he
,puckered his brows and wondered.
IT had been pleasant and exciting
and 1t had. done things to him. He'd
had little time for that sort OF
thing, and began wondering II he
had missed a lot of fun and excite
ment. Brenda's lips had been warm
and yielding beneath his own; In
fact, she, too, had seemed to enjoy
II. So what? She had probably en-
loved II as she would any sort Of
diversion. And he'd better get busy
and forget all about II. Brenda
wasn't for him. Even II he fell in
love with her which would be
foolish Of him-she would no doubt
laugh at him when he voiced what
he felt, and tell him about the man
I'D in New York who was waiting
o marry her. Then he remembered
what she had said when he told her
she was like a little girl who had
stayed home and waited for her
knight Maybe I'm really like
that-way down deep" were her
words.
Well, suppose she is. What OF 1t :?
He found no answer to his ques-
ton, and turned to other matters.
There was no place In his life for
any woman at the moment-that
is, II romance was to be their back
ground. The factory was his life.
He was welded to that for the dur
alton. To that, and to the business
OF helping Mrs. Plat get her sons
play on. Between the factory and
the play he had little time for
himself. Time and again he was
tempted to put his foot down and
tell Mrs. Plat she would have to
get someone else for the role. Then
he would remember Peter Plat
handsome, eager, SO 1uli OF hopes
and dreams-and he couldn't go
through with it Peter was out
there fighting; no one really knew
where, according to the reports
Mrs. Plat gave them--and nobody
knew whether or not he would ever

was In the midst of II. SO there was
nothing for him to do but go on
and help Peters mother give the
