Editorial Comment:
Challenges Ahead For 5721

And Congregation AnShei Israel has proo-
lens of expansion, too. The conservative
congregation has had for several years
new building site at East Fifth Street,
block west of Country Club.
"A vital goal is the mark of $25O,OOO
for the Combined Jewish Appeal For
three consecutive years the Tucson COM
munity has sent it's CJA over the $2OO,-
900 mark; now the community faces new
responsibilities that indicate the gre a
need of $25O,O00 goal.
The projects are all of great import
ance, not only on an individual basis, out
also to the community as whole.
On the eve of a New Year, The Arl-
zona Post would like to suggest still an
other project. We have asked ourselves
how will the Jewish community OF tucson
be Judged for its contribution to the
World of Judaism?
What will the Jewish community OF
Tucson have contributed to the world OF
Judaism other than building a strong,
solid community that always stood ready
to help whenever asked?
But what are our contributions to
Jewish culture?
Our suggestion is that the Jewish COM
munitv of Tucson consider a cultural pro-
gram of importance. Why not have Iuc-
son become a center for Jewish culture
in the southwest, perhaps with the stag
ing of great Jewish plays, Jewish music
and art at our Center? Perhaps we could
invite Jewish Centers from throughout,
the west-Phoenix, Ell Paso, Los Angeles,
San Diego, etc.-to bring dramatic or
dance groups here for a great week of
Jewish culture.
The year 5720 was a year to pause
and honor; the year 5721 is one in which
to take important strides ahead. Can you
accept the challenges?

The Year 572O was a remarkable one
for the Jewish Community of Tucson.
It was a year to pause, to remember
and to honor. In one great year we oo-
served:
The 5Oth anniversary of T m e
Emanuel, the first Jewish house of Wor-
ship in the Territory of Arizona.
The 2Oth anniversary of DR.. Marcus
Breger as spiritual leader of Congrega-
ton Anshei Israel.
The 25th anniversary of Rabbi Al
bert T. Bilgray who received his doctorate
from Hebrew Union College-1nstltute OF
Religion and also celebrated his Bar Mltz-
yah year as spiritual leader of Temple
Emanuel.
The 10th anniversary of Benjamin
N. Brooks vital service as executive ol-
rector of the Tucson Jewish Community
Council. Tucson Jewish Community Cen
ter and the Combined Jewish Appeal.
Yes, it was a remarkable year, year
in which the community gathered to pay
honor and homage to it's great leaders.
Now we stand on the threshold OF the
year 5721-a year that must be dedicated
to action For now important things must
be accomplished to continue the progress
and growth of Tucson's solid jewish COM
munity
The most talked of project for the
coming year is the construction of home
for the Jewish aged and infirm No such
facility now is available and thorough
research of the problems of the aged in
dicates it's great need.
And with the growth of the commu
nitv, Tucsons houses of worship face
vital expansion needs. Temple Emanuel
is studying the addition of a sanctuary
large enough to care for its membership
even on the High Holy Days. The Temple
also is in need of additional school rooms.

NEW YORK, (JTA)-The stunning
capture of the chief NaZi executloner,
Adolf Eichmann, was the No. 1 news story
in the Jewish year 5720. ..s:
Whatever will be the outcome of the
trial in Israel of Adolf Echmann, it is un-
likely that it will match the high drama
of Prime Minister David Ben-Gurlons
startling announcement in the Knesset on
Nav % that the master killer was in the
hands of the people he tried to destroy
These are the other top nine stories of
the Jewish year.
2-Of similar global impact was the
worldwide outburst of anti-Semitic Incl
dents which followed the Christmas Eve
smearing of the Cologne synagogue soon
after West German Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer personally took part in its re-
dedication. More than 1000 such incidents
were recorded in Al countries. The largest
single number-126-was recorded not IN
West Germany but in the United States
3-David Ben-Gurion's venture into per-
sonal diplomacy in the spring, which In
volved face-toface sessions with President
Eisenhower, British Premier Macmillan
and French President de Gaulle-and
snub from Soviet Premier Khrushchev
who made it icily clear he did not want
to meet with the Israeli leader-evoked
widespread pride among Jews everywhere.
4-Sometimes news is made by its ab-
sence The general tranquility on Israels
borders during the year-broken only by
minor though persistent Syrian shooting
and one massive Israel raid which leveled
an Arab village in demilitarized zone
near Lake Tiberias on February 1-con-
tinued to be welcome news.
5-Another major Israeli story of the
year was the manner in which the DOM
inant Mapai party cast off the rigidltles OF
success to bring in new faces and new
techniques in last October's national elec-
ton to score major victory. The election
emphasized Israeps increasing political
stability in rejecting scores of splinter par
ties. But Israel politics remained far from
Ben-Gurion's cherished dream of two
party system.
cit was a year also during which
dictator Nasser of the United Arab Repub-
lie continued to resist all forms of Western
pressure-none of which could be said to
be drastic-to open the Suez Canal to Isra-
ell shipping. United Nations Secretary
Dag Hammarskjold tested various for

mulas for movement of Israel cargoes
through the Canal The results were zero.
THE fight against the Arab blockade,
which extended to blacklisting OF ships
doing business with Israel, spanked two
DEVELOPMENTS which constituted setbacks
for the Arab economic war.
One was the decision of the U. S.
Navy, after wide public outcries, to cancel
last February contract clause in its SHIP
ping contracts which was in effect an
assist to the Arab blockade. The clause
made it impossible for American shippers
which had done business with Israel to bid
on the lucrative Navy transport cargo con-
tracts.
The other was decision of two power
full American maritime unions to hit back
at the Arab blockade by a counterblock-
ade. This took the form of picketing an
Egyptian ship, the Cleopatra, at New
York berth for % days while the State De-
partment threatened and fumed.
Son the American scene three nota-
BILE events were recorded. Perhaps the
most important was the reorganization of
the Jewish Agency to assure closer control
of the expenditures of American Jewish
philanthropic funds in Israel.
One consequence of the reorganization
was the cancellation of annual grants of
United Jewish Appeal funds to several
Israeli parties for their social welfare
and educational programs Some of the
affected parties announced plans to run
their own independent Embarrassing cam
paigns in the United States, if local Jewish
declarations declined to give them alloca-
tionS.
9-The second was the nearly year-long
observance by Canadas energetic COM
munity of 25O,OOO Jews of the 20Oth year
of Jewish settlement in that country
1O-The third was a series of sharp
setbacks to George Lincoln RockwelPs
dream of becoming the American Hitler.
Rockwell and a handful of "storm troop
ers" had been holding viciously anti-Se-
mitic rallies on the mall in Washington,
DC. District of Columbia park police, un-
der a curious directive, had been protect
ing Rockwell's free speech" rights by
arresting listeners who sought to protest.
Fears began to grow among American
Jews that Rockwell would be permitted
to grow in influence and threat without
hindrance. But Rockwell was stopped in
the courts.

Shortly after his arrival
in this country, the great Yld-
dish Maggid, Masliansky,
made a tour of the country
and in Cincinnati visited Rab-
bi Isaac M. Wise, the dOyen
of Reform Judaism.
II suppose you do not like
our type of judaism" said
Rabbi Wise.
20, it's all right, suppose"
said Masliansky, "but / think
in some of your Temples you
have gone too far"
"Mr. Masliansky, will you
get up and walk to the wall"
said Rabbi Wise.
Masliansky was puzzled,
but he did as directed. He
walked, then stopped.
"Why don't you walk fur
ther?" asked Rabbi Wise.
"I can't" replied Maslian-
sky. There is the wall in
front of me-
That's the way it will be
with us. Some of the Temples
are going too far, but the
wall of life will stop them
and they will have to go
back"
One day it was announced
in the papers that a meeting
of city clergymen would be
held. Rabbi Wise decided to
attend.
At the meeting a resolution
was proposed which Rabbi
Wise did not like. He arose
to speak on the resolution.
The. Chairman called the
rabbi to order. "This, meet
ing was called for Protestant
clergymen," tn e chairman
said.
'Well," said Rabbi Wise,
"I am a clergyman and I
protest against this, so I am
a protestant clergyman"
When Lord BalfOur, the

for his car to get stalled out

do? He got down on his knees
and began working at it. Sud-
denly, he hears a voice: 'It's
pretty bad to have your car
go kaput way out here"
Goldstein looked up. A
horse was talking.
Goldstein could not figure
it out. He gazed for awhile
at the horse then resumed his
tinkering with the car.
The voice spoke again: II
you go up the hill, a bit, you
will find my master. He may
help you out"
Goldstein looks up again at
the horse, still puzzled and
then after a while resumed
his tinkering.
Again the voice: "You think
I am just an ordinary horse,
but I want you to know that

This was too much. Gold
stein decided to go up the
