A MESSAGE TO
SOUTHERN JEWISH
COMMUNITIES
BY A Sunday School Teacher

By A Sunday School Teacher
Our children in the South must
not suffer from the false notion
that there is a conflict between
their lOyalties as Jews and Amer
leans. Our children must be
taught that they can best enrich
American life by Strengthening
themselves with the spiritual value
of their Jewish heritage. Their
ideals as Jews and their ideals as
Americans complement one an
other. Their belief in the Ameri-
can way of life must be reinforced
through a thorough understanding
and appreciation that the roots of
democracy are derived from the
Jewish way of life.
This is your precious opportunity
to share in the training of gen.
Grafton which comprehends our
Jewish values, which seeks to
adapt them to modern living and
thereby lives with pOise and dig
nifty. Our children must be given
the moral stamina and the inner
courage which this turning point
in history demands Of every one
of us.
The future leaders of Southern
JeWery will come from those who
learn today to cherish the ideals
and precepts of Judaism. The
Wide-aWaIxe Jewish community has
a deeper understanding of the
fact that an adequate system OF
modern Jewish education must be
one of its main concerns. A COM
munity is hOnOred, not for it's size
but for the quality of the cultural
and spiritual standards that il
sustainS.

A DistostefuI Thought on Yom Kippur

Almost every week the mail brings crack-pot ideas
and perverted viewpoints to our desk from individ

crazy schemes on the Jewish and general public.
Nothing has aroused our ire and disgust more than
to receive in this weeks mail letter from the
'Freethinkers of America" with headquarters at $40

"Faulty-Thinkers" urges our Jewish people to give
up our religion on this Yom Kippur and to abandon
our temples and synagogues One of the reasons
