INVOCATION
IMPLICATION
TOLD NATION

Rabbi William M. Kramer,
former rabbi at Tempe Beth Is
rael, won national recognition
last month when United Press
and Associated Press, world
wide news services, carried two
invocations with which he open
ed Los Angeles City Council
meetings.
Here's how the Shakespeare
of the clergy opened the August
13 session:
Hear a prayer for men of high
station
who serve the city, first in the
nation.
MAY they know the spiritual
elation
"To praise the Lord and pass
the legislation.
The following week he came
right back with this gem:
II pray for the council,
"The standard of its acts.
Raise them, Father,
"And lower the tax"

Youth Choir of Temple Beth Is
rael. For many years she directed
Westminster summer choirs.
She was the organizer and direc-
tor of Pioneer Women's Chorus,
in Toledo, Ohio. The group gave
recitals throughout the neighbor-
ing states.
"A NATIVE of Columbus, Ohio,
Mrs. Guberman does not remem-
Der when she did not sing and
play the piano. In Columbus she
studied piano, violin, and voice at
Capital College of Oratory and Mu-
sic, and pipe organ at Capitol Uni
versity. She was graduated from
Ohio State University, where she
majored in education.
Although teachers have always
predicated a brilliant musical fu-
ture for her, she was not interested
in a concert career. She chose the
role of wife and mother to that
of an artist She dropped her musi-
cal studies and activities when she
met her husband For eight years
after their marriage he did not
know of his wife'S musical abili-
ties. One day at a friends home
she sat down and played the pi-
ano. They did not laugh = as the
old cliche goes they applauded.
The very next morning Lidabelle
received the gift of piano from
her husband.
ABOUT HER work with the
Center Hadassah Choral Group,
the director said: "One of the un-
ique things about our choir is that
we sing in two foreign languages,
Jewish and Hebrew. At the begin
ming, very few of the members
knew these languages, including
me. But thanks to my advisors,
Mrs. Esther Shapera and Mrs.
IDebbfc Metz, was able to teach

amateur archoelogists. The Bible
was living history.
WHAT A STRANGE contrast in
our experiences as we also were
in Greece for a few days! There in
Athens we went to the Acropolis,
but the Greek people have no liv-
ing feeling for these ruins. They
were dead past. The Greeks had
no living religion to associate them
selves with the past, but in Israel
the past, the present, the future
all merged into a living chain that
has never been broken.
All around us we could feel that
great surge to create. We felt it
in the songs. We knew 1t in the
dance and we saw it in the faces.
ON OUR TRIP to the Negev we
were escorted by 20 Israeli sol
diers. My boys built up warm
bond of friendship with those boys
was their interpreter, and as the
language barrier began slowly to
drop, our American cadets saw
these Israeli soldiers as men OF
ideals and character.
The cadet from Maine made an
honest confession: Chaplain" he
said, we're spoiled in America.
We have to have cars, clothes,
parties, social events. They don't
have this here, but they've got
something we lack. They have
e,fY0,rr ohio ,.o.,4oy nlloo1y I,a1xo rrroof 4
ideals and this you can't buy with
all your cars and with all your
clothes"
THIS FORTHRIGHT and sincere
expression made me realize how
wonderful the young people of Is
rael are. Their loyalty is not mere
ly for physical survival, but for a
thrust to build a new civilization
that will give their people integ-
rity and security. 1t is something
which will never permit them to
be complacent Or SNUG.
They will be the ceaseless pion-
GERS because no matter what the
difficulty there on the road, you
hear them singing on the trucks
as they go out with a gun in their
hand, but with a resolute spirit to
build new settlement along the
border, never once complaining,
but standing shoulder to shoulder,
the fire of their enthusiasm catch
ing you as you see before you a
state which you are proud to know
that you have had a fair share in
the future of a regenerated people.

One School
Unit Adjusts
To HOLIDAYS

One Of three Phoenix area
grade school units, the Osborn
Elementary District, has revamp-
ed its opening weeks schedule In
consideration of the Jewish High
Holidays.
The Phoenix and Madison ele-
mentary school districts did not.
Trustees in these districts refused
to set aside this Thursdays OPEN
ing day Of the fall term despite
requests by Rabbi Albert Plotkin
of Temple Beth Israel. acting for
the Phoenix Jewish Community
Councils Community Relations
Committee.
RABBI A. L. Krohn, rabbi emeS-
titus of Temple Beth Israel. is a
trustee OF the Phoenix district He
said he made an unsuccessful at
tempt to get board approval OF a
schedule readjustment.
The Osborn district. of which
Sam Kiviat is a trustee. changed
its original Thursday registration
day to allow the entire week for
registration. In this way the dis
trict's board allowed Jewish child
ren enrolled at its schools to at
tend Rosh Hashonah services with
out missing any school activity.
The Hadassah board of directors
approved the sending of letter
of commentator to the Osborn
board for its action.
SCHEDULED for first-day acti-
witty at Phoenix district schools
Thursday was a period of orienta-
ton, designed to acquaint pupils
with new teachers, clasSrooms,
and procedures. The actual first
day of class was set for Thursday
in Madison District schools.
The Phoenix and Madison boards
told Rabbi Plotkin that absences
would not be marked against Jew
ish students not attending school on
Rosh Hashonah.

these languages to the group. It
was great challenge"
Mrs. Guberman arranges the
music and choral parts of most
of the music used by the choir.
Choral singing as such has not
been part of the Jewish back
ground. Most of the singing is done
in unison from melody line. Ac-
cording to choral group members,
Mrs. Guberman's arrangements
have improved the quality of many
old songs.
Although she now has a piano to
use when making her musical ar
rangementS, she usually does it
by voice alone as she goes about
her household tasks.
THIS HABIT has lightened many
dreary hours of housework for me
especially the ironing" she said.
"Now that I am working full time
at the Security Commission, I do
my arranging at lunch hour and
during coffee breaks"
While there are many fine musi-
clans in the choral group with ex-
ceptional musical backgrounds,
there are also many who had no
previous musical training whatso-
ever. Mrs. Guberman teaches neo-
phytes to read notes, keep time
with the music, and understand
the musical theory.
When the choir was formed. she
spent a great deal of time with the
various sections, improving their
work. This is probably why the
chorus as whole does such fine
singing. Mrs. Guberman rehearses
the group every Wednesday night
for two hours, except during the
hot summer months.
SHE STARTED the Center. Ha-
.dasSah Choral Group to do single
program for HadaSSah. Seventeen
women gathered together to learn
some Jewish folk songs, modern
Israel music, and liturgical
chants. When many of the chorus
members husbands showed inter-
est in the singing, male voices
were added to the group, it was
made a permanent arrangement,
and the activity was thrown open
to the entire community for men,
bership as a social and cultural ac-
tivity. At this point, the Phoenix
Jewish Community Center offered
the use Of its facilities and became
the groups co-sponsor.

that Lehman, at 78, will at last
enjoy some Well-deServed rest.
Lehman brought to public office
the experience of a business man
and the heart of a humanitarian.
A staunch Democrat, he proved
immensely popular with voters,
four times gaining the governor
ship of New York State. He was
sent to the senate by 1949 special
election to fill the seat of the late
Robert F. Wagner, who had re-
signed. He was reelected in 1850 to
full term.
THE PAGES of the Congression-
al Record, in recent years, were
filled with blow-by-blow accounts
of his verbal battles in the cause
of human welfare. Lehman SpurnS
the kind of compromising that is
traditional for most older men. His
approach to legislation involving
basic rights overrides any partisan
considerations
Lehman has stated quite frankly
that "the forces in Congress sup
porting civil rights are less zeal
Gus and resolute today than they
have been in the past. This is as
true among members of my own
party from north of Mason-Dixon
line, as among members of the
Republican Party"
He is impatient with what he
considers "a strong tendency to
put the civil rights issues aside
for another day The banner must
be kept high" he has said, "and
the struggle relentlessly pressed.
The goal Of human equality must
not be compromised"
THE PASSION of some of his
battles seems out of place with
Lehman's otherwise quiet dignity
and good temper. He was one OK
the first to take the field against
"McCarthyism. He led the fight
for fair immigration practices. He
fought relentleSsly for Israel, see
ing such support clearly consistent
with the national interest of the
United States.
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1956-09-07

Lehman'S willingness to tangle
with McCarthy-a rough and tum-
bic fighter whose bluster and po-
litical acumen for while fright
ened the senate into meekness -
were acts of high political integ-
rity, coming as they did at the
peak of McCarthy's popularity.
Many of these were face-to-face
battles, Lehman more than holding
his own in the concentrations.
IN ONE SUCH instance, McCar-
thy, during violent speech on the
senate floor, had denounced a num-
Der of government officials as So
Wet spies, reading their names
from a document. Lehman recog-
niZed that it was being read out
of context. He promptly challenged
Mccarthy to read the paper in its
entirety.
Blistering words passed back and
forth across the chamber until
Mccarthy came up with a glib of
fer to show Lehman his material
"at any time" Lehman walked
over and held out his hand. Nc
Carthy refused. The gallery, which
had solemnly watched the by-play
broke into vigorous applause for
Lehman.
THE CREATION of the United
Nations Relief and Rehabilitation
Administration brought together
nations in a monumental effort to
alleviate the hunger and homeless
ness that war had left in its wake.
AS UNRRA's director general, Leh-
man, by force of personality, weld
ed his international team into a
cohesive unit despite their varying
and conflicting national interests.

COP Ignores
Arms. Vows
Israel Buckinu

SAN FRANCISCO (JTA) - The
lull before the mounting storm of
political charge and counter
charge bound to dominate the
American scene in the months
ahead set in here as the Republi-
can Convention closed.
The Republicans had adopted a
platform pledging ito support the
independence of Israel against
armed aggression. It avoided any
mention of the supply or sale OF
defensive arms to Israel to offset
the Communist arms supply to
Egypt and other Arab states.
THE PLANK put the Republican
Party under obligation to support
a policy of impartial friendship for
the peoples of the Arab states and
Israel to promote a peaceful set
tlement of the causes of tension in
that area, including the human
problem of the Palestine Arab
refugees"
At the same time, the plank en-
phasized that the Republican Party
regards the preservation of Is
rael as an important t e e of
American foreign policy" and is
determined that the integrity of
an independent Jewish state shall
be maintained.
STRONG objection to the phrase
Jewish state" used in the Repub-
lican platform plank was voiced
by the American Council for Ju-
daism in a telegram sent to the
platform committee. However, the
objection was ignored.

What was of great interest was
not only my reaction, but those OF
my charges: five Christian boys,
two PreSbyterianS, two Baptists
and a Lutheran all who came
from small communities hardly
ever knowing Jews or Judaism,
and coming to Israel for the first
time. Many of them told me they
think of Israel only as a place
with many holy shrines, but their
question was, What is life really
like there?"
When we stepped off the plane
our little boy from Huntington,
Texas, said in his long Texan
drawl, why, this looks just like
Texas"
WHAT STARTLED all of us was
the modern and the ancient,
thrown together into one dynamic
pace of life, for what was ancient
was also modern, and what was
modern was also ancient In one
place the archaelogists were max
ing excavations and in another
they were planting new trees. This
wonder of a desert becoming a har-
vest of fruit and flowers so radi-
antlv alive, so rich in color.
One of the boys said to me IN
amazement, "Can you really be-
lieve that soil that was dead for
so long could produce such fruit!
I really believe the Bible. 1t is a
land flowing with milk and honey"
IN FACT the song Israel flow
ing with milk and honey we sang
in the bus in Hebrew all the way
through the Negev to Eliat and
back again to Gallilee. Our i'm
preston was that Israel was not
only productive of land, but OF
spirit, enthusiasm and inward ded-
ication. One of our percept1ve
cadets said, "I ask. myself and I
ask YOU, Rabbi, why did your
people come back here? There is
so little water, power, the danger
of Arab attack, loneliness from
civilization. Why didn't you go to
South America or African"
/ didn't have to answer that
question. The more we saw Israef
together the more we began to
realize that there was a bond be-
tween the people, the religion, the
culture and the land that was In
dissolvable. The Bible was not
something of the past; 1t was the
living future. Wherever we went
the Biblical cities came alive, and
in our talks with the Young people,
each one of them seemed to be
