Beauty Hints

TWO KINDS OF BEAUTY


TWO KINDS OF BEAUTY
Yes, there are two kinds
of beauty, the fragile and the
curvaceous. The old masters
of the world modelled and
painted the luscious figures
of mothers Of men. The
Venus de Milo would seem
strange did she stand before
the world as hipless as a
young boy. We do not pic
ture the mother of Christ
as a slender maid nor the
enignatic Mona Lisa as a
lissom sprite. mo, these and
many other exponents of
beauty have lovely curves. 1t
is not necessary to starve
oneself numerically in order
to wear beauty's crown, there
are indeed two kinds of
beauty.

Development

in the 1893 battle against Loben-
gula. Daniel M. KiSch became
advisor to Lobengula in 1869 and
made the first Jewish donation
to the London Missionary So
ciety. (
In 1894 the first organized
Jewish congregation was estab-
lished at Bulawayo. The '"Bula-
wayo Chovevei Zion" had 100
members, was observing all Jew
ish holidays, and was raising
money to help restore Israel to
it's ancient home" in 1899, ac-
cording to records left by it's
leader, Marks Landau.
In 1900, the Rev. M. 1. Cohen
arrived in the colony to become its
first Jewish minister. He labored
untiringly for the betterment of
all people, regardless of race or
,creed.
The 20 Jewish men and two
Jewish women who lived in Sails
bury had already expressed their
determination to- build a syna-
gogue in 1895. When Cecil John
Rhodes heard of this he became
happy and excited and said, my
country is alright; if the Jews
come, my country is alright"
Rhodes thought. that >if Jews
were willing to settle in Rhode

The history of Rhodesian Jewry
is one of peach and harmony with
co-settlers.

QUESTION: Why are there Is
months in the Jewish Calendar
this year?
ANSWER: The Jewish calendar
year Is a lunar year. That means
that it is calculated according to
the revolutions of the moon
around the earth. Therefore, the
months are of 20 and one-half
days duration. The Solar year,
which is reckoned according to
the earth's revolutions around the
sun; has months usually either 80
or 81 days in length.
In comparison to the solar year,
then, there is a shortage of IL
days in the Hebrew calendar each
year. It is necessary to equalize
this difference so that the Pass
over always falls in the spring
time. Otherwise Passover would
fall back II days each year, thus
come out in different seasons at
different years. To prevent this,
an additional month of 80 days is
added to the Hebrew calendar
seven times in 10 years.
Thus, for example in a cycle
of 10 years, the third, sixth,
eighth, eleventh, fourteenth, sew
enteenth and nineteenth years,
respectively, are the years in
which the extra month is. added

not concerned since in our coun-
try there are no religious and
racial problems
'The worthy delegate turned
pale, not knowing what to reply"
This may be a cue to what hap
pened in Brazil and other South
American countries during the
years of the second world war,
when it was comparatively easy
to gain admission with Catholic
documents" But it still does not
explain why so many Jews are
concealing their identity now that
they have become rooted in the
soil and are immune from legal
fear. Moreover, there is reason to
believe that thousands of the
Brazilian Jews who Officially
concealed their identity are ac-
lively engaged in Jewish com
.munal affairs. Have the rest
chosen the se1f-imposed role of
privately clinging to their faith
and people w lille publicly and
officially denying such affilia-
ton?
There are always those who
would barter their heritage for
imaginary security. If the $4,000
Jews in Brazil, who concealed
their identity believe, the storm
will pass them if it ever comes,
they are victims of illusion who
have apparently learned nothing
from the most tragic chapter in
Jewish history. In any event this
is a development which merits
wide and serious attention.

To fill a long felt need among
students of Jewish life and Gull
ture in this country the Jewish
Publication Society of America
last week issued a volume entitled
Of Making Many Books. prepared
by DR.. Joshua Bloch, distinguish
ed bibliophile and chief of the
Jewish Division of the New York
Public Library.
DR.. Solomon Grayzel, editor of
the Society, characterized it as
AN unusual book" adding: ION
the surface it appears to be no
more than an annotated biblio-
graphy of the three hundred vol
umes published and distributed
by the Jewish Publication Society
from its organization in 1888 to
the end of the year 1852. Differ
emily evaluated, the volume is to
be considered as a contribution to
the history of Jewish culture in
the United States. For here,
stated in factual terms, is the rec
ord of efforts made over two
generations to transmit and inter
pref the Jewish heritage. The
book is thus, in a special sense, a
contribution to the self-appraisal
which American Jewry m us t
make during this tercentenary
year."

Jews have had a significant
role in the development of South

has been observing The Rhodes

Sir Godfrey Higgins, Rhode

QUESTION: Why is it that the
extra month is added to the
Month of Adar and called Adar
II. instead of any other month?
ANSWER: It has already been
indicated that one of the prime
reasons for adjusting the calendar
is the Passover holiday which
must fall in certain season. Adar
is the last month before the
spring month of Nissan in which
the Passover festival falls. Also,
there is a motive of adherence to
the words of Scripture in which
it is written in the Book of Esther
that Adar is the twelfth month.
Since the Biblical system of num-
bering the months begins with
Nissan, adding a month to any
other month would make Adar
the thirteenth month instead Of
the twelfth, as the first Adar is
in the case Of every leap year.
Also, the other months, some Of
which are numbered according
to their sequence after Nissan
would also retain their original
number. Thus Tishri would al
ways be the. seventh month, etc.

The Mystery About $4,000 Jews

According to the American
Jewish Year Book and other
authentic sources, Brazil has
about 10000 Jews, most of them
concentrated in Rio de Janeiro
and Sac Paulo. But according to
the latest Brazilian census only
69.957 residents among them
36,O22 men and 33,935 women
identified themselves as Jews.
What happened to the rest of
the $4,000 Jews known to be
.domiciled in Brazil? The ''Yid-
dishe Presse' of Rio de Janeiro
recently opined that Jews were
heavily represented among the
274,OOO Brazilians. who told the
census takers they were not af-
filiated with any religion. This
explanation, it seems, raises more
questions than itlanswers for it
assumes the tragic fact that forty
percent Of the total Jewish popu-
lation in Brazil has escaped from
Jewishness. Moreover, it simply
is incredible that the ratio of
"godlessness" among the Jews
should be so monstrously dispro-
portionate to the rest of the popu-
lation.
What then is the mystery be-
hind the missing" Brazilian
Jews?
A. Alperin of The Day-Jewish
Journal, who has delved into the
believes he has found a
partial key to the mystery in the
following item in a recent issue
of ode Shtimme," Yiddish news
paper appearing in Mexico City:
''Not long ago there came to
Caracas a representative of a GER
tain Jewish organization in New
York. He visited Venezuels CAPT.
tai so as to familiarize himself
with its Jewish life. But. as a
delegate, he could not resist the
compulsion to visit the President
of Venezuela before returning to
New York. In the course of the
tn e delegate thanked
the President for his tolerance to-
ward Jews, and he was even so
carried away by ecstasy as to re-
mark: Senior President, in the
name of the 5000 Jews residing
in your country, permit me to
thank you for your attitude to-
ward them
'"The Presidents reply was: I
am amazed that you are thanking
me in the name of only 5000
Jews. We estimate that Venezuela
today has a population Of about
10000 Jews. and although half of
them came in as Catholics we are
