can well guess that all rabbis
would like to tell 'em off in their
sermons on the Sabbath. The rabbi
looks over the congregation, and
what does he see before him?
Most Of the congregation (and
the temple is far less than half
fully are of elderly ladies and I
speak of them with profoundest
respect. Many of them are there
to mourn their husbands.
The rabbi might say: Thanks to

Particularly, l notice Segal.
I wonder what he's doing this
Sabbath morning when he should
be among us performing one of
his spiritual duties as a Jew.
Hasn't he been a sort of spokes-
man for Jewish life in our town?
II remember something he
wrote long ago. The 5-daY week
was being established in industry
then and Saturday was becoming
an off-daY like Sunday. He wrote
then that when Saturday widely
becomes a holiday for most Of
the working people. Jews will be
coming back to the synagogue on
the Sabbath. And now. sure
enough. Segal every Saturday is
away from his JOB on the daily
newspaper. but where's Segal
today? I look around and I don't
see him here"
This rabbi speaking out of my
imagination brings me back to
Rabbi Rothstein's printed speech

cation. He couldn't speak out to

Mr.. Segal = the one who is al

Maybe Segal and the others
feel that on this holy day they

never to have heard Of the Com
