OBSERVING GOOD FRIDAY

OBSERVING GOOD FRIDAY
EACH of people, whether large or small, devel
ops habits and customs which through the years become che
rished. These are the customs which distinguish one group
from another, and often change the course of history. No ex-
ception to this rule, we in these Islands have had with US
certain customs which we should not change.
OF THESE customs is the observance Of GoEd
Friday as a holy day, set aside for peace, quiet and medita:
ton. AS a Christian people, this is understandable. But in re.
cent years, the swift tide of change has been whiting away
at this custom, and picnics, dancing and merry-making filed
the day, much to the disgust and dissatisfaction Of those who
want the day for quiet worship.
CALENDAR year is filed with holidays during
which ali the dancing and merry-making can take place
There is Christmas, and then Easter, and the many other days
Why not one day Of quiet?
IT is worthy to note, and with satisfaction, that the Car
nival in ST. Thomas gave thought to this matter Of Easter, and
scheduled the w~eek-long celebrations to come after the holy
week. And that is the way it should be.
RELIGION, with its many blessings, is often taken for
granted. Yet there are millions whose lives would be enriched
by it, but do not have it. They are the ones who perhaps exist
through meaningless days, missing that sense OF understand.
ing which adherence to a higher principle would provide.
1T Is NOT too much to ask that there be observance OF
the hottest day in Christianity; that pcnics and beach parties,
and dances and merry-making be put off for just one day.
and that the time be set aside so that people 60 to their
several places Of worship. Even those who would not neces-
sarly use their time in this manner could n~onetheless give
kind consideration to their fellow citizens and refrain from
creating disturbing situations.
HI GOOD FRIDAY, let US think Of others, and their
right to spend the day quietly.

IT'S CRAZY, you say, the

peace.
But didn't the Atomic Ener-
gy Commission get the idea
for Operation Ploughshare
from the Hebrew prophet?
1t was Isaiah who spoke of
turning the sword into
ploughshares.
They would get more peace
ideas if they could read He
brew, for the Jew never has
been a shooting man. 1 was
reading about a young Israeli
soldier who was told to shoot
at the enemy. But 1 might
kill him." he objected.

Pope's Call Provokes Interest

schools in their curriculum of instruc-
ton that would put Jews in a more posi-
tive light.
There is also a suggestion urging the
Council to issue declaration on the
connection between the Old and the New
Testament. Naturally, there is a request
that Catholic prayers harmful to Jews
be changed in addition to those already
modified. Other requests received so far
by the secretariate ask for the diSpelling
of misunderstanding on the "banishment'
of the Jewish people from Palestine, and
the creating of liturgcal ceremony
dedicated to Old Testament saints.
The last proposal apparently came
from Catholic sources friendly to Jews.
It is known that the Secretariate intends
to study the requests and may even be
inclined to recommend the admission of
three Jewish observers to the sessions of
the Council. At present the Secretariate
of the Council would like to see a Jewish
special consultative committee formed
truly representative of the entire Jewish
people both in DaiSpora and Israel with
whom it would be willing to deal.

did not permit him, says the

IF YOU can speak Hebrew,
you have better things to do
with your time than go shoot

Yes, it would be hard, l
must admit, to teach all Am
ericans the Hebrew language.
They know a few Hebrew
words, Amen, Halelujah, Sc
lah, but it is hard to get these
into a conversation.
Perhaps it will suffice if
we teach the world one He

The most important word
is Hello. With "hello," you
can get along anywhere.

The calling of an Ecumenical Council
by Pope John XIII this year in Vatican
City has provoked deep interest among
leaders of major Jewish organizations in
this country. There have been only 20
such Councils in the history of the Catho-
lie Church, the last one having been
held in 1869
The Ecumenical Council concerns it,
self with matters affecting faith and prac-
tice of the Church. and Jewish leaders
hope to be able to submit requests re-
lated to easing JewishC Christian tensions.
They are especially encouraged by the
fact that Pope John has vigorously de-
nounced ant-SemitiSm and ordered the
elimination of anti-Jewish phrases from
some Catholic prayers. Some Jewish or
ganizations have already formulated sug-
gestions and submitted them to the
special secretariate of the Ecumenical
Council which is preparing the agenda.
One major suggestion urges the attenu-
alton in the CatechiSm of the emphasis
that it was the Jews who crucified Jesus.
Another suggestion urges re-examina-
ton of Christian teaching concerning
Jews and the inclusion by Catholic

the musical, administrative and financial
details.
After two years Huberman announced
proudly: "My success surpasses my bold
est dreams" Huberman could think of
no other than of the Great Maestro to
come and lead the newborn into the
Worlds Concert Hall. Toscanini promptly
accepted the invitation.
"I see the day when the Philharmonic
Orchestra will make grand tour abroad"
Huberman said 27 years ago. His pro-
phecy came true as did his hope that the
Orchestra would always keep to the road
of highest goals and never be content
with its achievements.
For 25 years the Orchestra has func
toned uninterruptedly. 1t never stopped
giving concerts-not in the days of the
Arab riots, not in the years of World
War H. not in the days of the War of
Independence Throughout the years it
had attracted the worlds most celebrated
conductors and soloists and won a place
among the leading orchestraS of the
world.
Last week the Orchestra gave gala
performance celebrating its 25th anniver-
sary. The concert took place in the beau
tiful Mann Auditorium the Orchestras
new home for the past two years. Many
could still recall the first concert quar-
ter of century ago. Of the 72 musicians
who made up the Orchestra in December
1886, "a are still with the IPO-the Israel

before all, could look back with much
pride over the long, not always easy but
always exhilarating, road travelled since

JERUSALEM - (JTA) We can still
remember the great excitement that
swept the small Jewish community of
Palestine 25 years ago when Maestro
Arturo Toscanini rose to conduct the
first concert of the Palestine Symphony
Orchestra. In the front row sat High
Commissioner Sir Arthur Wauchope, DR..
Chain Weizmann David Ben-Gurion and
a host of other dignitaries. Filled to capa-
city, the rather primitive concert hall as
sumed a unique grandeur in which the
elaborate evening gowns played second
ary role. There was pride in everyone'S
eyes and happiness that comes with full
fillment and expectation.
Behind the scenes, the great VirtuOSO,
BroniSlaW Huberman, could not hide his
excitement as he was reassuring the
nervous musicians 1t was his "baby."
Less than two years before it was all
a mere idea-to bring into the Land of
Promise the best Jewish musicians from
the lands of persecution. "a new tree of
music is being planted along with the
new orange groves" said Huberman at
a reception held in Jerusalem 27 years
ago when he announced the establishment
of the Orchestra. 1t took two years of
hard work to bring it about; two years
of strenuous effort. Huberman propa-
gated his idea wherever he went
He dictated literally thousands of let
ters, wrote articles, gave interviews, or
ganized sponsors. He auditioned hundreds
of musicians in many countries; some of
them he even managed to free from Nazi
concentration camps. He worked out all

Editorial Comment

The most remarkable night of charit-
able giving in the history of Tucson's
Jewish community came the other night
when 100000 was subscribed to the
Combined Jewish Appeal at a special
gifts dinner
The giftgiving marked a SO percent
increase over 1861 and indicates the i'm
portance Tucson's top leaders see in this
years campaign.
Before they made their record giving
a fact the donors heard the inside story
of increased immigration to Israel. 1t is
a story so vital, so touchy that it cannot
be put into print.
This great story will be told again
JAN 81 when the Combined Jewish Ap
