The World Deer

century Jew is not so different
from the generations which went
before. They drew sustenance
from their religion; it brought
t h e m happiness. Sophisticated
though we are, we, too, have found
pleasure in the religious service,
in the Hebrew word, in the music
of the synagogue. We, too, can re-
joice, as in the discovery of long
hidden treasure, in the everlasting
beauty of our goodly tents.

write him in turn little note,
which will read:
Dear Mr.. Lilienthal,

with the joy and beauty of being
Jew!
The charm and warmth of the
house of worship, the friendliness
of ones fellow Jews, the inspiring
message of the Rabbi, the rhythm
of the prayers and the cadence of
the Hebrew phrases = all of these
make ones heart glow.
But most of all, the music-the
dear, familiar strains chanted once
again = music authentically old,
yet new enough to provide today's
song writers with some of their
most haunting themes = this mu-
sic gave us a sense of dedication: !:
This year we would go forth, full
of the exaltation of the holy days,
to do justly, love mercy and walk
humbly with God.
1t was thus with our people of
old. Hundreds of generations of
Jews have recited "Unsaneh To-
kef," "Yaaleh," "Avinu Malkenu"
the Hebrew words were sung
with affection, even where they
were not the spoken language of
the people. Wherever they dwelt,
the Jews adopted and adapted the
language of the land = but they
recited their prayers for the most
part in Hebrew. The words became
dear, the prayers were the express
sion of the deepest yearnings of
the Jewish heart.

QUESTION: What is the deriva-
ton of the term "Amen?"
ANSWER: "Amen" comes from
the same source as the word Emu
nah" which means "faith." Both
come from a common root mean
ing Ito trust" or Ito support" The
expression of "Amen" is thus an
indication of belief as if to say

is an abbreviation of three Hebrew
words - "El Melech Ne-eman"-

Fight for Jerusalem

NEW YORK, (JRA) = The
American Zionist Council disclosed

that we no longer respond to them.
Like Hollywood, having spent all
of our verbal gold, we are reduced
to using mere silver.
A case in point is the present
desperate situation of the Jewish
Agency. The Agency is bankrupt.
Expenditures for 1949 have ex-
ceeded receipts by over $38,000,-
900. In addition, there is an ac-
cumulated deficit.
Lack of cash is the result of
the failure of the national United
Jewish Appeal campaign to reach
its goal and the failure of local
contributors to pay p d G S
promptly. Consequently thousands
of Jews coming into Palestine are
forced to live under conditions
reminiscent of the worst in Dis
placed Persons camps.
How to explain this detrimental
situation to local subscribers in
terms strong enough to obtain a
quick cash response, is the prob
lem. Does anyone have few spare
words at hand?

QUESTION: What is the deriva-
ton of the term "Almonoh?"
ANSWER: The term "Almonoh" is
an old Biblical term meaning "a
widow" 1t is the feminine coun-
terpart of the term "Alman" which
means "a widower." Both come
from the term ''Elam" which in
dicates the Inability to speak" or
the act of ''binding." The deriva-
ton indicates that the widow or
widower is stunned into silence
upon his or her loss and/or
"bound" by the cruelty of faith to
the silence which comes with death.

1. Our two fine congregations
in Phoenix, Beth El and Beth
Israel, need money to COM
plete and pay for new build
ings. Send them a generous
contribution.
2. The Phoenix Community
Chest is getting started this
month. In addition to the fact
that our own Jewish Social
Service Burea receives
funds from the Chest, we
should support the Red Fea-
ther Campaign because ev-
erybody gains when the
health, welfare and recrea-
ton agencies are properly fl
nanced. In short, this, too,
costs money. Send some!
3. Register for the forthcoming
Municipal elections and on
election day get out and vote.
1t is supposed to be taboo to
mention politics in public,
but frankly some of our ia
vorite people are on the
Charter Ticket and we think
they ought to be elected.
Harry Rosenzweig and his as
sociates on the Charter Ticket
strike us as being the kind OF
people we would like to see
in government. 1t speaks well
for Phoenix that such high
principled folks are willing to
take on the job of city man
agement.
IT'S A PITY that the use OF
Yiddish is lessening. But it got q
mild renascence during the past 1C
or IL years through the Concert
and Lecture Bureau of the Ma
tional Jewish Welfare Board,
which sent speakers and artists to
Jewish communities. Some have
been in Phoenix recently.
| can still remember the ole
days of the Yiddish theatre, wher
Boris Thomashevsky was in his
heyday. If a suicide or violent
death didn't occur in the very first
act, the audience walked out and
demanded its money back!
AS curtain raisers and entire
acts, members of the cast would
don costumes and make like a
dancing at his own fune-
raj, or Molly Picon dressed as q
boy would tell the familiar Ban
stories. Can horse operas
and Superman serials provide such
memories?
