The Synagogue Beautiful
BY JEHUDI ABNER

When we consider the subject
of the synagogue and art, there
are certain things that perplex
us at the very Threshold. In the
first place, it is contended by
some scholars that Church art
actually stems from early syna-
gogue art and, bolstering this
view, archaeologistS in the past
few years have uncovered a
number of pictorial 'murals in
the synagogues Of Palestine dat
ing back to the first and second
centuries.
In contradiction to this is the
commandment forbidding the
making of craven images. Sculp-
ture and idolatry were closely
linked in ancient times and in
order to eliminate idolatry, it
was seemingly necessary to
eliminate sculpture also. To per-
init sculpture at the time seemed
like sending a bottle of whiskey
to- an alcoholic and telling him
not to drink it.
But did the injunction against

more abstract and non-objective.

more abstract and non-objective.
It was a Jewish artist formerly
of Chicago, but now living in
New York, A. Raymond Katz,
who first grasped the meaning
of this development in the syna-.
gogue. He saw that it meant
nothing less than a possible rev.
olution.
To illustrate the difference:
Recently number of artists
were invited to submit a design
for great Memorial to be e.
rected in New York to the six
million Jewish victims of the
NaziS. Several of the artists
submitted designs in which there
were figures of persons, but the
design which Katz submitted was
that of a huge sixty foot Zain, the
seventh letter of the Hebrew
alphabet, corresponding to the
letter "Z". The Zain stands for
the Hebrew word Zakhar which
means Remember. Just this big
Hebrew letter and at the base
Of the obeliSk are the words,
Shma Israel, Adonai Elohenu,
Adonai Echud.
Such a design as this would
be permitted even in the most
! orthodox of synagogues. There
are no human figures on it. No
one would think of the letter
Zain as an idol or image, yet the
letter Zain can be a most beauti-
full figure. In fact, Katz. will
prove to you that it embraces
the most beautiful lines of art. y.
The proof of the pudding is in
the eating. Stained glass win
dows and abstract murals de-
signed by Katz are to be found
Chicago and in the Free Syna-
gogue of New York, and the
same artist re-designed the
chapel of the Hebrew Union
College in Cincinnati.
Katz builds all of his designs
around the letters of the Hebrew
alphabet. The Gleph beth is real
ly picture book to him. Katz
will tell you that in a very real
sense, that is what the aleph
beth was originally. The aleph
was the head of an OK. The let
ter Beth was the picture of a
house. The Hay is a picture of
man with his hands raised in
prayer. The Mem, stands for
Mayim and that was the way the
early man pictured the waves of
the ocean.
Proving that Kayz is right,
some time ago he submitted q
painting which was woven
around one of the letters of the
aleph beth at a non-Jewish ex.
hibit. The painting was given

known to increase milk production
Is to 10 per cent.
Dairymen who have used dried
pulp have long recognized its abil-
ity to keep high producing cows
in a healthy condition and also
its apparent ability to make other
feeds used in the ration more d.
gestible.
In the past, due to a scarce sup
ply of this sugar beet by-product
here in the west ana due to the
difficulty in securing a year-round
supply, dried beet pulp has not
been used as extensively in dairy
rations as it's value would warrant.
At the present time, however,
with a wider and increased produc-
ton this fall it is readily available
at any of the western sugar fac
tories which are equipped to pro-
duce it and to any dairymen who
may want to secure a supply now
in order to take advantage of its
milk producing qualities through
the year.

Dried Beet Pulp Increases
Beet Production
c.. F. Huffman, research profess
sor of dairying at Michigan State
college, and one of the leading
dairy nutrition scientists of the
country, has recently discovered an
unidentified lactation factor in
dried beet pulp which definitely
stimulates milk production.
His experiment feeding results
have shown that because of this
factor, dried beet pulp rates up
with corn as a concentrate when
used in the dairy ration. In this
present period of high feed prices
and with an abundant supply of
relatively low priced dried molasses
beet pulp available here in the
wet, these findings are especially
timely and significant to dairymen
who are interested in reducing
their feed costs and at the same
time increasing the milk production
of their herd.
Dried molasses beet pulp is a
bulky, dry concentrate with highly
digestible fiber content derived
from the vegetable fiber of the
sugar beet. 1t has the highest
moisture absorption ability of any
dairy feed and when fed as one
fourth to one-third of the grain
mixture for dairy cows has been
