TIFT0N, GEORGIA
The South's Agricultural Center"

hot in the 10th century, especially
IN the U. S. when the Reformers
were getting started.
The earlier Reformers-back in
the l840's-had come up with the
idea Of no hats in sYnagogues. In
1912 Har Sinai Congregation in
Baltimore took hats off. It was
the first.
Reform Judaism was denounced
as being goyish, no less, when it
suggested that from there on Jews
at worship should follow the prac-
tice of the Western world in
which hats-off was a gesture of
good manners and respect. Jews
had put on hats in the first place,
lar back in Babylonia out of re-
spect for the ways of that eastern
land in which they were then
living.
But even before hats began TO
20 off in the U. s. one Aaron
Chorin appeared sensationallY
with bare head in a synagogue in
Prague in 1926. In ls4S the Berlin
Reformgemeinde voted TO take
hats off in schul.
The controversy edged even into
the goth century. / remember the
synagogue in our town that stood
somewhere midway between Con-
Servatism and Reform back in the
early 1920's. Most of the members
kept hats off in schul but a group
If the old and influential ones in
sisted on wearing theirs.
Respectfully for these. the boys
who were being confirmed on
Shevuoth that year wore their
caps on the altar. The rabbi who
was Reform all the way was Civ
ing his sermon. 1t was critical Of
those who were reluctant TO go the
whole way with Reform. Then.
suddenly. he snatched the cap
from the head Of one Of the boys
.. us your religion in this?" he
demanded. I'm dirty little caps?"
And the last heard of it all was
in the Central Conference of
American Rabbis Reform) in 1929
when Professor Jacob Lauterbach
of the Hebrew Union College
summed it all up: ''F'rom the point
Of view of Jewish law or ritual
there can be no objection either
10 covering or uncovering the
head in the synagogue, or when
praying or reading the Torah."
Yet, as ga matter of social pro-
priety and decorum" each side
hats-off or hats-on-should re-
spect the other, he said"
Yes. that's it. and thanks again
10 Philadelphia Mr.. Herbach for
letting me in on this relaxation
from all the problems that give US
so much pain today. Next week
ri HAVE 70 40 back TO all that.

He introduced the first constitu-
tional amendment permitting
state participation in slum clear
ance. 1t was passed in 1887. Three
of the states original rent control
laws are credited to Davidson and
he has been lauded by labor
unions for completely revising the
workmens' compensation law. The
Albany record shows that about
so pieces of Davidson legislation
were passed.
Davidson, for the last five years,
has been Manhattan chairman of
the federation Of Jewish philan-
thropies. His wife, Bernice, is
chairman of the wUmen's division
of the United Jewish Appeal for
greater New York. Davidson at
tended the Jerusalem economic
conference as a delegate in 1858.
While in Israel, he lived with the
family of an Israel military Off
Ger, Major Wellesley Aaron. The
majors daughter is now visiting
New York and staying with the
Davidson family. She is singer,
Sharona Brosa, and is recording
Israel folk tunes.
Deeply interested in foreign af-
fairs, Davidson has urged that
direction and clarity be brought
to our foreign policy and more
particularly morality" He said
the classic example of the adj
ministration policy indicating
lack of morality and consistency
can be found in the Near East"
The arming of the Arabs was
cited by Davidson as unfair to Is
rael and unrealistic in terms of
Americas best interest and the
maintenance of regional stability
