Municipal Court
Opens in Govt. House
For First Time

The Municipal Court for
mally opened in the Govern
ment House this morning for
the very first time. Judge
William Moorhead presided.
Judge Moorhead explained
that although the Fort was
turned over to the Historic
Site, there was no expecta-
tions Of moving the Court.
However, it seems that it be-
came necessary and therefore
the Municipal Court will now
share offices with the United
States District Court.
Some persons feel that it is
a good omen moving to the
Government House, Judge
Moorhead said, but while the
Fort belonged to us, we are
here by sufferance. He then
called upon Attorney R, II.

the gathering.
Attorney Leader called it an
historic occasion. He feels that
while it would have lent dig

Jewish Teacher Of Year

ligious schools Teachers Day. was cele-
brated around the country on May 70,
in conjunction with the Lag Bonner Fes-
tiVal
Mr.. Perach's career began 40 years ago
in Kiev, Russia, when as a young man OF
%, he helped to organize Hebrew schools
in that city and throughout the Ukraine.
While teaching there he met and later
married one of his students.
Mr.. Perach's former students include
a number of rabbis, educators and out
standing personalities in various walks
of life. Among them are the novelist Her
man Wouk; DR.. Gerson Cohen, member
of the faculty of the Jewish Theological
Seminary of America; Alfred Welsel,
president of the Educators Assembly of
America; and DR.. Jacob Kabakoff, Dean,
Cleveland Institute of Jewish Studies.
The tribute to Mr.. Perach comes after
a long and distinguished career in the
service of the Jewish People. In larger
sense, his designation as Teacher of the
Year" honors many thousands of men and
women across the nation, the teachers of
Americas Jewish religious schools.

Harry Perach

From Kiev, to Palestine to New York,
to Miami Beach, Florida - everywhere
he has lived in the past 40 years, Harry
Perach-Kwitney, gifted Jewish teacher,
has been serving the cause of Jewish
education. AS the climax of a lifetime
of devotion and accomplishment in trans
mitting the Jewish heritage, Mr.. Perach
was recently designated the Teacher of
the Year" for the Jewish religious schools
of America, the first time anyone has
been so honored.
Mr.. Perach, a member of the faculty
of the Hebrew Academy of Miami Beach
for the past decade, was singled out for
the unusual citation from a field OF ap-
proximately 1850 teachers serving in the
nations Jewish schools
He was chosen Teacher of the Year"

event in American Jewish life proclaimed

Parents can force their youngsters to

American Jewry, perhaps with not as
much attention as they should have given,

it's fourth national conference, DR.. Judah

Dovid Schwartz:
importance Of Newspapers

ery time a Jew from another country
visits here, he is so delighted, shtein
falt ihm arop fun hartzen"
THE FIRST newspaper was perhaps
The Fig Leaf, published in Eden -
fashion gazette.
Henry Adams wrote that the first Amer
ican papers were really the ta ern S
where travellers over the clinking glasses
of rum exchanged news. I suppose, IN
the same way, one might say that the
synagogues were the first Jewish news
papers.
Of course, in the Orthodox synagogue,
YOU couldn't talk between prayers Ihat
would be mafsik Zein. You could only
saw Um-Um, but between the Um-Ums,
YOU could get an earful of news. 1t wasn't
as easy as today when you can read
YOUR news in the weekly. In those days,
you could only get a paragraph or so
of news out of nine or ten prayers.
Still there were some good Anglo-JeW-
ish papers then, too. Rabbi Isaac M. WISE
published the American Israelite, which
was one of the supreme forces moulding
American JeWry. In Philadelphia, there
was the important Occident, edited by
Isaac Lesser.
In New York, Philip Cowen, who was
a cousin of the American novelist Bret
Harte. published the American Hebrew.
Among the writer's for his paper was
the famous Emma Lazarus, and CoWen IN
his autobiography tells of young fellow
in his early teens who was something
of a nuisance to his printers. The youngs-
ter's name was Stephen Wise. You have
probably heard of him.
In Rochester, N.Y., there was weekly
called the Shofar. 1t was blown by a
Young fellow named Louis Lipsky, who,
some people then thought might become
a great actor or a Supreme Court lawyer,
instead of the Zionist leader he did be-
come. In Rochester, too, chap by the
name of Louis Wiley for a time ran
Jewish weekly. Later he came to New
York and was the right hand OF Adolph
Ochs in building up the New York Times
It's proud heritage the Jewish pub
fishers of today carry.

David Schwartz:

ONE OF THE shrinking reSemblanceS
between America and Israel is the way
both take to newspapers. Jefferson helped
launch two papers. His great opponent,
Hamilton, founded the New York Post.
In the settlement of the West, the first
thing, it seems, one did after reaching
some far-away place was to run for Con-
gress or start a newspaper.
Israel seems to be much the same way.
Tel Aviv seems to have more daily pa
pers than any city in the world. There
are some fifteen or twenty dailies and,
I understand, they would start more but
they have run out of names.
Jefferson thought the press was more
important than the government, and that
I think, explains the r ga o n for the
strength of the press in America and Is
rael. Both go in for democracy-de-lux
I got to thinking about the gentlemen
of the press while attending, last week,
the convention of Jewish newspaper pub
fishers. Mr.. Jack Fishbein, the President,
invited me to look in, for which I am
grateful
Publishers have their problem. The
business is not always OIle VI o1IloClCC'
Rather it is more concerned with fluency.
Who could be more fluent, for instance,
than Phillip Slomovitz, editor Of the De-
troit Jewish News? 1 understand the
makers of automobiles in his town got
the idea of speeding them up watching
Slomovitz write an editorial on his type
writer. He can also tell funny stories,
such as the one he told at the convention
about Chain Cohen, the art lover who
suddenly changed his faith and became
transformed from Cohen to Cole.
''Mr. Cole" he was asked, "do you still
have that precious Rubens?"

MIR. JACOBS, whose paper rolls and
thunders far from where rolls and thun-
ders the mighty Niagara, was telling
about visit to Israel and of the nachass
a Jew derives from such visit. He
illustrated it with the following story:

suits and offensive sarcaSmS,
how would you feel?
"Well, this is just what
happens to Our Lord Jesus
Christ. We forget, or rather
we do not wish to know, that
our God made man is a Jew,
natures most perfect Jew,
the lion of Judah; that his
mother is a JeWess, the flow
er of the Jewish race; that
the Apostles were Jews, as
well as all the Prophets; and
finally that our whole sacred
liturgy is drawn from Jewish
books"
That the Jews as a group
rejected Christ is no more
reason to condemn them than
it would be to openly rebuke
any person for viola in G
Gods law. Does not one who
sins nail Christ to the cross
again?
While the majority of the
Jews rejected Christ as the
Messiah, we must forever
realize that they kept alive
the promise made to Adam
of a Redeemer to come. Their
whole purpose was to pre-
pare for the first Christmas.
That role they fulfilled nobly
under divine guidance.
We must look beyond the
rejection of the majority to
the Goodman Himself who
was a Jew, as well as
His Mother. If Jews rejected
Christ, Jews none the less
were also the first to follow
Him. Who were the Apostles,
forming the first Christian
community, if not members
of the Jewish race? Why,
then, e~e only the backslid-
ings Ind ignore the virtues?
The Jewish people cried "Cru-
city Him." But have not all
peoples shown an eXtraOrdi-
nary propensity to the same
theme?
Modern history, especially,
illustrates that in Gods mys-
terious providence, the Jews,
once His chosen people, may
we'll be still the same elect.
The historic preservation of
this people is ineXplicable
apart from special protection.
Viewed in ordinary human
terms, the race should have
vanished long ago.
Their history is an almost
uninterrupted series of perSe-
cutions and denials of the
m o t elementary h u m a n
rights. Yet, after centuries
of tribulation which have
strained it's powers to the
full, this people has preserved
its unique form. No other ma
ton would have resisted a
dispersion lasting so long
without in the end diSSOlVing
and disappearing. But accord
ing to Gods impenetrable
ways, this people must ap-
parently be preserved until
the end of time.
Only tn cir spiritual de-
scendant is, members of
Christ's Church, have been
prosecuted as persiStently in
human history. AS a matter
of modern historical fact, in
most instances Jewish perse-
cution has preceded persecu-
ton of Catholics.
In Germany, Poland, Roma
MIA, gary, where the
Church has been nailed to the
cross in our day, we find that
members of the Jewish race
were on the cross before us.
A significant note of modern
times is that anti-Semitism
invariably evolves into anti
Christianity.
This undoubtedly has sig
nificance which we will fully
appreciate only in the here
after. 1t should make us real
ize, however, that just as the
Jews prepared for the Cath
