PLAIN TALK
BY Alfred Segal
RETIRED RABBI

rabbi and how he is using the
golden days of retirement. What.
air. are you going to do with your
days in retirement? You are
thinking of Florida. but there
comes a moment when Florida
gets stale. too. Everlasting sun
light may get on the nerves and
you Yearn for clouds.
You come to understand that
clouds are good, too. They help
ed to make up the picture of your
whole long life. It wouldn't be
a complete picture if it were full
of dazzling sunlight. The clouds
were all right.
So. after some months or years
Of retirement your hearts and
hands will be aching for some
work to do by which to make
yourself useful in the world. If
you can get a worthwhile job.
without much if any money in it.
you will feel like somebody in the
human society. You won't be like
some used-up tire on the dump.
q myself don't intend to retire
until the time they carry me off
from Wells which is the favorite
funeral home in our community
Well a man after my own heart
is Rabbi George c. Fox Of Chi
caso. I know George Fox from
my time in the Hebrew Union
College whence I was practically
tossed out and pushed into jour-
nalism instead Of into the xabbiri-
ate.
I am grateful for what the
Hebrew Union College did to me
when it decided I wasn't person
to head a congregation. It's so
much more delightful to be col
urnnist addressing a large crowd
Of faceleSs readers than. to be a
rabbi who has to please every Mr..
Zilch in the congregation.
George Fox continued his course
at the Hebrew Union College and
through 20 years he was rabbi Of
the South Shore Temple in Chi
cago. don't know a thing about
South Shore Temple but if South
Shore Temple is like most others.
it must have been a lot of small
tzo1aS.
So Rabbi Fox retired at IS. He
had no idea that to be retired was
just to vegetate. Retirement was
a state of life in which to start
doing some of the things one had
always wanted to.
In an office at 80 North Michi-
gan Avenue. Chicago. you can
find Rabbi G. George Fox. There
he has expanded his ministry.
He is a family counsellor who
strives to repair damaged domes-
tic ties and helps to solve some of
the problems that. unsolved. often |
break up homes and bring dis
txess to men. women and children.
At 80 North Michigan Rabbi |
Fox can feel that he is continuing |
his rabbinical mission, without |
the Union Prayer Book, the hym-
nal and a temple. There people |
bring to him their family troubles
and the rabbi counsels with them:
There may be other ways out
than divorce. Maybe the child
rem should be considered before
there's a breakup. After all, the
children are the main parties con-
cerned.
