RaShi The Great Jewish Commentator
ION the S5Oth Anniversary of His Death

Jewish religious life dimmed in part of
the world it grew brilliant in another part of the
globe. When the Jewish sun declined in Babylonia,
it's brilliance shone forth in France, Germany and
Spain.
The name Rashi was given to the great COM
mentator according to the old Jewish practice of
utilizing the initial letters of persons name His
name was Solomon, the son of Isaac, and so he
became known as Rabbi Shlomo Itzchak. In
France he was known Rabbi Shlomo Hatzarfati
(the Frenchman). In the Christian world of He
braic scholarship he was called Rabbi Solomon
Gallicus.
History of French JewrY
Since Rashi Frenchman, some mention
should be made of the early history of French
Jewry. Jews have been living in France since the
first century Legend tells that Jews living
in what is now France even before the Hebrews
had established their kingdom in Canaan. The
Book of Judges in the Bible tells us that when all

suggested that the Congress Gre

DR.. Neumann challenged the
proposal to eliminate all parties

Zionists to express opinions about

PLAIN TALK.
AT A FUNERAL
BY ALFRED SEGAL

The other week this Mr.. Segal
was at st. Mary Church for the
funeral Of his old friend Michale
Keefe. AS one Of the pallbearers.
Segal sat in the second row from
the altar in philosophical medita-
tion from the Jewish angle.
THAT'S the way of a Jew TO
be thinking JewishlY even in a
Catholic church.) Segal may have
been the only non Catholic there.
and certainly the only Jew. He
didn't feel lonely. though.
AS he looked around among his
neighbors in the church, he came
to the idea that he and these
Catholics were all of one family,
you might say :. all kin, some
how, in their liking for Mike and
the good guy he was :. kin In
friendship together at this altar
D.. looking at death and wonder
ing what it's all about, yet hoping
that, after everything, there is a
good reward in which Mike would
share beyond the grave. The
priest was commencing him to
happy beginning in eternity.
Well. these observations got
Segal started on the Jewish angle
at this Catholic funeral. He fig
ured that these Catholics in the
church were more sure Of the per-
feet hereafter than we Jews are.
AS he understands il. there's no
certainty of opinion about that
among US Jews. One Jew may be
sure Of il that there's another
life coming after death. certain
fY of heaven TO come: and another
says there must be something. he
hopes so. at least. and still another
says TO rest at peace in the grave
is enough for him. Even our rab-
bis differ on just what is coming
10 US after this life has been lived.
Here was Segal in the church,
bordering on that old question,
even while the priest was speak
ing the ritual in definite certainty
that the departed soul is embraced
in an after-life. Yet Segal's heart
could echo the priests who was
praying for the best for Mike
Keefe in eternity.
Even while his heart was join
ing the priests in this. Segars
mind was asking: Yes. what really
will become of my spirit after the
funeral? Is there really something
for the soul beyond the grave? A
heaven in which TO reside at peace
forever? Just resting peacefully?
Yet would care to reside in eter-
nifty without something useful to
do? Would il be worthwhile to
live that way forever with
nothing to do?
If Mike Keefe who was lying
there at the altar in his caSket
could have become aware of what
was troubling Segal at the mo-
ment, he would probably have
spoken up, "Cheer up, Al. It's GER
tainly going to be better for you
in that hereafter, and I'll sure be
meeting you up there some day."
That was Mikes faith.
And Segal would have replied:
Thanks. ever so much. Mike. ]

Delegates Discuss Goldmann's
Views of United States Jewry
The analysis given by DR..
Nahum Goldman, Jewish Agen-
cy chairman on the outlook in
Jewish life in the United States
and the tasks of the Zionist move
ment were the subject of discus
sion at the general debate of the
World Zionist Congress.
jacques foreigner. a leader of
the Zionist Organization of Amer
lea. agreed with DR.. Goldman
that assimilation was gaining
ground among Jews outside Israel
and said that Jewish day schools
are an important tool in the edu-
cation of Jews abroad. He ex-
pressed regret that American
Zionism lacked the intellectual
leadership that it had had 20 and
Is years ago and called for re-
capturing the idealism which
gave life" to the Zionist move
ment in the past.
Mrs. Judith Epstein, Hadassah
leader, insisted that American
Jewry was experiencing a ''ren-
aissance" and cited Jewish school
registration figures as proof. At
the same time she agreed with DR..
Goldman that it was essential
for the Zionist movement to save
Jewish, unity and consciousness
among Jews outside Israel. Mrs.
Epstein also asserted that since
Israel had become a sovereign
state, American Zionists have lit
tie voice on political issues and
can only participate as "onlook-
erS."
Berl Locker. Jewish Agency CO.
chairman. said that the danger of
assimilation among American
Jews was even greater than the
picture of it drawn by DR.. Gold
mann. He suggested that one an
swer to it might be the institution
of the type of day schools now
being developed in Britain. He
asserted that the Zionist move
ment's chances for survival are
slim without its full participation
in the development of Israel.
Baruch Zuckerman, American
Labor Zionist and member of the
Jewish Agency executive, urged
the creation of an all-Jewish
body, not connected with the
Zionist movement, to take over
the task of uniting all Jews in
support of Israel. The Zionist
movement, under Mr.. Fucker
mans plan would work for the
immigration of Jews to the Jew
ish State.

FOREWORD: So widespread is the public
misconcepton on good rug cleaning, that we
"a leading member of the fast-growing rug
cleaning industry-feel it our duty to give
Washington area housewives the true facts
about this serious situation.
Therefore, we are publishing this full and
complete report in the belief that it is in the
public interest to do so.

LET'S FACE 1T: When 1Uas the last time your
'clem1ed" rugs came home really clean?

What are some of these hidden damages2
Well when rug is improperly cleaned-wth unkilled
help, harsh chemicals, and outdated equpment-here
are some of the things that can happen.
/. The rug fbres can be frayed, split at the
ends or often broken off short
2. If not actually broken they can be Ioosened
SO that either the pile is raised and uneven or
the whole rug is Aattened out and matted so it
looks shiny and cheap.
8. Deposits of aluminium, rubbed off by home
vacuum-cleanets, get worked into the sibres
and become embedded deeper and deeper :
thus dullng the original colors and making
them look fiat and lifeless.
4. Strong rug cleaning soaps alkas and de.
tergents used to Offset outdated methods and
equipment are in many cases so harsh that
when the rug is improperly rinsed with made
quate equipment they cannot be gotten out.
This last point is of vast Importance Here's why:
Overdose of strong sticky soaps harsh akals and harsh
detergents are foreign to WOOL to cotton and
synthetic fbres and blends They cannot help but have
deteriorating or ''rotting" effect in time.
But that's not the worst of it. When enough of these
sticky soap and detergent particles cling in the rug they
attract more dirt than dirt itself.
So when your rug delivered back to you inadequatey
cleaned and rinsed, it is Conditioned" to defeat the
very purpose of having it cleaned in the first place.
Do you blame u.s. them for criticzng these outdated
methods for trying in this frank outspoken way to
set the public and the American housewife straight
Obviously Arcade-Sunshine has Selfish motive" in
asking you to face these rug cleaning truths.
WE THINK IT GOOD BUSINESS for ndustrys spokes
to give the public and its the facts The
American people have always liked being told 1t is all
they ask from any industry or business.
We have another reason too. We want protect our
own business Arcade-Sunshine is pretty generally
known the leading rug cleaning organization in this
one of the best in the country.
Up to now, made big issue of this And here
again, we had a reason:
Although the Arcade Sunshine plant has been kept COM
petey upto-date in its equ pment its methods and the
trained skill of its peronnet seemed to us that
the finest possible rug cleaning equipment had yet been
developed.
For years worked handling glove with the country's
leading equipment manufacturers, and with the worlds
leading suppiers of various rugceansing products to
bring this about.
Recently, in cooperation with other leading rug clean
ing organizations and utilizing important technical in
formation furnished by the National Institute of Rug

lot of people must get pretty discouraged at times
with ordinary rug cleaning results
You go out and buy rug. A rug always costs money
"A good one you hundreds, thousands of
dollars When it starts looking soiled you send it out
to rug ceaner-and like not it back looking
pretty good.
But weeks later, after it has been back your
floor for while seems look worse than did before
you had it cleaned Why9 This must be puzzng to the
average fastidious housewife
The fact that it does not look clean is bad enough
But what YOU don't see-wha you can't see until it is
too ate-is the hidden damage which may possibly
have been done Damage which risks your entire rug
investment
The way ends up this BY trying to save few pennies
with ordinary rug cleaning, many people find too late
that their expensive rugs have been damaged beyond
eovery.
