About Packages
To Soviet Russia

Since there still is a great deal
of confusion about sending of
packages to the Soviet Union, the
Union of Russian Jews, Inc, of
SIS West 42nd Street, New York
Is, NY, considers it important
to clarity a few points.
l. FOOD. It is possible to
send food packages to Russia
without prepaid duty, as duty on
food in Russia is not so high and
is within the means of the ma
jority of people there. The gross
weight of each package cannot
exceed II lbs.
2. CLOTHING should not be
sent without prepaid duty, since
duty on clothing-new and old
is very high in Russia. We rec
ommend to send, if possible, only
new clothing, paying duty on
them in the U.S.A. - For those,
who cannot afford this and want
to send used clothes, we suggest
they ascertain first from their rel
atives in Russia, whether they are
able to pay duty on used clothes.
The Union of Russian Jews, Inc.
has already sent during the last
months many thousands of food
packages to Soviet Russia. Now
we made up new types of pack
ages, utilizing many advices, es-
pecially those received from Rus
STA, about articles most needed
there now.
For further information and for
our list of packages write to:

Inc, 35 West And Street, Rooms

Jewish Religious
Communities of
Poland Ask Guidance

JERUSALEM, (JTA) = Jewish
religious groups in Poland have
cabled to Chief Rabbi Isaac Her.
zog of Palestine asking him to
send directives to them concern
ing all religious questions, espe-
cially the problem of women
whose husbands have disappeared,
but who have no proof of their
death, it was learned here. Rab-
hi Herzog's advice was also So
licited on problems of recon-
struction of Jewish communities.
At the same time, the Chief
Rabbi received an official COM
munication from the Polish Min
iStry of Public Administration
which declared that Jewish re-
Igious life in Poland has been
restored. It revealed that the Po-
lish Government summoned the
representatives of all Jewish re-
igious groups to a conference
presided over by Col. David Ca
hane, Senior Chaplain in the Po-
lish Forces and Rabbi Moses
Steinberg of Oracow, where prob
lens of the Jewish religious COM
munities were discussed.

DECIMATTON OF JEWS IN
HOLLAND SEEN DURING
ROSH HASHONAH SERVICES

AMSTERDAM, (JTA) : Rosh
Hashonah services held in syna-
gogues throughout Holland for the
first time since the liberation of

600 Jews lived before the war,
only 1900 survived to attend the
New York services.

YOM KIPPUR--A

give, as we'll as are forgiven.
"The old Jewish conception
was that on Yom Kippur pray
ing in the synagogue could OBJ
tain atonement only for sins
against God. For sins against
man, men had to forgive one an
other. So the Yom Kippur sea-
son became a time for the re-
moval of the accumulated grudges
of the year-a day of reconcilia-
ton of man with his fellow man
"a true day of "at-one-ment" of
man with society. What better
occasion for JOY could there have
been than this?
$50 to the good Jew" contin-
ued Phil, "Yom Kippur was a
day to be great, for on that day
not only God but man forgave.
To err is human, to forgive, di-
vine. On Yom Kippur, man be-
came divine by exercising this
prerogative of forgiving.
Suppose the rabbi today were
to rise in his pulpit this Yom
Kippur day and say to the peo-
pie of his congregation: You men
and women, you are used to 60
ing to the homes of your friends
and rejoicing with them, but I
command you today to go and
seek out your enemies and take
them by the hand and ask their
forgiveness as you forgive them
Suppose the rabbi did that and all
the members of the congregation
went out hunting up their enemies
to make friends of them. If all
this happened, it would be quite
a sensation"
"Yet actually this is what hap
pened in Jewish life = among
those bearded Jews, who, if they
could speak English, spoke only
a broken English. We of this
generation are apt to look upon
our grandfathers as being some
what benighted and unenlighten-
ed, but in this Yom Kippur prac-
tice, I think they had the most
beautiful of practices.
There is something, perhaps, to
be said for the practice in the
Christian church of going to con-
feSs your sins to the priest and
getting his forgiveness, but the
beauty of this fades before the
greater glory of going to your
very enemy and asking his for
giveness or forgiving him as the
circumstances may warrant.
eyes, Yom Kippur was truly
a day to be great : and may
still be = if we observe it in its
ancient tradition"

81 don't like that sour look on
your face, Arthur" said Phil.
"Can't you do better than that?"
Please" replied Arthur, 'please
remember this is Yom Kippur, the
Day of Atonement, very solemn
day. What would you have me
do-go around joyful on this
day."
why yes" replied Phil. 'That's
what I would have you do, if I
could. The Jews of ancient times
regarded Yom Kippur as a joyful
occasion. If you will read the
article on Yom Kippur in the
Jewish Encyclopedia, you will
find that the white robe in which
the worshippers attired them
selves on Yom Kippur in the syn
agogue was a symbol of this very
JOY of the day."
"Why thought" replied Ar
thur, ''that the white robe was
symbolic of the burial shroud."
''No," said Phil, Il know that
is a common view, but it is in
correct. Originally it was chosen
to symbolic festal joy as even
today dessing in white is SYM
bolic of brightness and happiness
and the fact is that the Tai
mud tells us that it was the GUS
tom of young men and young wo-
men to hold dances on Yom Kip
pur-and here I am not referring
to those modern young infidelS
who liked to stage Yom Kippur
balls to spite the more observing
Jews. In the old days, it was
the religious Jewish young men
and women who danced on Yom
Kippur.'
Il don't quite make that out"
said Arthur. ''Why joy = why
dancing on Yom Kippur?"
WELL" replied Phil, 81 sup
pose if you had asked old Jews
that question they would have
said that God is particularly near
you on that day and when God
is close to you, it is an occasion
for joy.
II am afraid in these days."
continued Phil, "that we have dis
torted and perverted the mean
ing of Yom Kippur. We have
lost much of its finest flavor. If
you went back to your grand
fathers times, you would find
him acting quite differently from
you. In his days, good Jews on
the eve of Yom Kippur would
ask each other for forgiveness.
1t was the day to be reconciled
to your enemies.
To-day we are prone to look
on Yom Kippur as a day when
we are forgiven our sins, but to
