ing bigger and better synagogues,
with bigger, although not neces-
sarily better, memberships.
Now if the community is to be
accused of distorting the rabbits
role as spiritual guide, the rabbi,
one must also conclude, cannot
escape some portion of the blame
for neglecting to educate his con-
gregation to sounder system of
values, or for imperfectly con-
ceiving and discharging his es-
sential function. ''The modern
synagogue" R alb bi Bamberger
holds, sis to a great extent the
heightened shadow of its rabbi"
There are those who will argue
that the, rabbi should and must
stand aloof from the temptations
of ordinary men, and remain as
a rock of ethical and moral rec
titude, an example for all to see.
On the other hand, there are
those who see the rabbi as man,
trying to get ahead like every
one else, as free as the next to
carve out some niche of security.
NO PERCEPTIVE Jew, mind
full of the crisis in which we find
ourselves, can condone those men
who have lost sight of their basic
function and who use the pro-
feSSion as a springboard for their
own ambitions to acquire wealth,
prestige, power or all three. Yet
there are communities which toll
crate, even admire, such behavior.
Where shall blame for defunct
spiritual leadership be placed?
The American Jewish commu-
nifty must urgently be persuaded
to relinquish its stereotype of the
modern American rabbi" lie,
the super salesman and to gain
a true perspective of the essential
rabbinic function. AS Rabbi Wolfe
Kelman, executive secretary OF
the Rabbinical Assembly told his
colleagues at the 1858 convention
of the group, eve must teach our
congregations that a rabbi is not
to be judged on the basis of
his youth or Embarrassing expert
ence or promotional ability or the
number of people whom he can
lure into the synagogue on Fri
day night under various pretextS,
but rather that rabbi should
perhaps be judged by how many
individuals he has taught how to
pray or the number of young peo-
pie in whom he has kindled a
desire to study or the number of
Jews he has persuaded to become
Sabbath observers :"
=
ONE CASE in point is Rabbi
Louis Levitsky of Newark, whose
position is quoted in the News
letter of the United Synagogue's
National Academy for Adult
Jewish Studies:
GAS the rabbi I make it my
business to be a teacher, and /

point Of view, should the rabbi be

His Car Wosn't

The mans car wasn't stolen
after all. Instead, the vehicle was
Given a free Wash-for Easter!
City police tell of the oddlty
this way:
Willie Hull parked his '46 Ford
on S. Aspen street near the Lu-
theran church Saturday after
noon. He returned later. but his
car was gone He reported 1t as
stolen, and the police patrol sent
out an alert and began a search
Of the immediate area.
Imagine MI. Hull's surprise lat
er in the afternoon when he
found his car parked in pracu-
cally the same spot. but clean
and shiny as the result of an eN-
pert washing Job by someone.
The mystery was cleared up
when it was learned that Andy
Ctamey. owner Of similar '46
Ford car as Mr.. Hull, had parked
his car on the same street, leav-
inc instructions at a local sta
ton for the attendants to pick
il up and gave it an Easter wash
ing. BY mistake, the Willis car
was taken. given a wash job, and
returned to its parking space.
So. actually, the unusual hap
pending that caused MI. Hull some
concern didn't turn out to be
serious after all. 1t was Just a
case of mistaken (car) identity.

do you think it is the demo-

in the end, gave it its approval.
Therefore, the bill will come be-
fore the House of Representatives

would allow elections on the ques-
