NEWMAN Lillian Friedman _____ Executive Secretary HERMAN VEIT LETTER FROM RABBI FRIEDMAN In a few days, I shall be leaving on a flyi ng visir ro Israel, Germany and North Africa. Jewish history moves so rapidly in these times, ir is almost impossible co keep abreast of trends and underl}ring currenrs wirhour making periodic rrips to the cenrers of acrivity. Ir is two years since I was lase in Israel. The miracle of a srate rebom is not something which occurs once and for all. There is a dynamic process of growth which places new villages on the map daily. This must be seen, nor read about, in order ro be appreciated. It is my high privilege co reporc rhe progress and the problems to Jewish communjties throughom Americ11 under rhe 1w~1,icies of the U.J.A. To discharge this tllSk more ef fectively, another visit co Israel is now in order. One of the new factors in contemporary Jewish life is the reparation program of Ger man goods being shipped co Israel. To see rhis process in operation, I am going co Boon and Bremer Leven. T here is also a new refugee problem in Berlin, where hundreds of Jews who have fled from the Eastern Z.One of Germany are co be seen and incerviewed. le is possible co piece cogether a picture of life under Soviet rule from these people. This makes a visit co Berlin well worthwhile in Jewish terms. Finally, there is a siruarion of major proportions in French Norrh Africa, particularly Morocco, where there are more than a quarter million Jews under Moslem domination. Their siruation is said to involve terrible poverry, djsease and overcrowding. I plan co visir Casablanca, Marrakech, Fez, co try and understand all chis ar firsr hand. T he trip will rake approximarely four weeks. Ir is my intention upon rerurning, co describe, in three consecutive Friday evening ralks, the three major areas covered. The schedule for these reports will be: November 13--Gerroany November 20--Norrh Africa November 27-Israel During the rime of my absence, we have arranged co invire oursranding Rabbis from Chicago every Friday evening to conduce the services and preach. Mose of these men are known in Milwaukee and I would be grateful if our congregation would make every effort to be presenr at services in large numbers co greet our guests. Only through the gracious cooperation of these rabbinical colleagues an1 I enabled to make this fact finding tour.

Ac rhe conclusion of rhe High Holy Day period, on the lase day of the Sukkos Festi val, ir is ,cuscomary co observe Simchas Torah, The Joy of the Torah. On chis occasion, the Scrolls of rhe Torah are joyfully carried around che Temple in a procession, together with the Lulav and Esrog, the symbols of the harvest. lo a very rich and beautiful symbolism the Scrolls are carried by three generations of a family, indicating thar che Jewish heritage is passed on from father ro son in unbroken succession. The Adelman Family will serve as representative of the entire congregation in this rirual. Ar the conclusion of the procession, the Scrolls are placed again in the Ark, and rhe reading of the Torah begins anew from Genesis. Rabbi Herman E. Schaalman, Director of the Chicago Federation of the Union of Amer ican Hebrew Congregations for the past four years, will be the guest in our pulpit on Fri day evening, October 9. Rabbi Schaalman was !born in Munich, Germany and came to the United States in 1935 on a scholarship to Hebrew Union College. Upon his graduation in 194 L he rook the pul pit of Temple Judah, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and while in thar vicinity he was on rhe faculties of Cornell College and Coe College.

The Mellah, or ghetto, of Casablnnc1 is che worse place I ha\·e ever seen in my life. Jr is crowded, filthy, smelly without water or sanicacion. Ac besc, a family has one room, in which there may or may nor be a bed. Families are large and it is noc uncommon co find 8 or LO people occupying a space of 8xl0 feec. Cooking is Jone on che floor. lo one secrion, we ncrually counted the number of rooms serviced by two toilers nnd found chese quarters to conmin over 1,000 persons. The Joint Disrribution Commirree has a mngnificent program in oper:uion. le con cenrrares prim;irily on children. There are clinics for the cure of trachoma-nn eye dis ease. (Aureomycin is imported and used.) There are dispensnries for che creatmenc of Favos-Tinia-a scalp disease. There are X-ray laboracories for rhe discovery of T.B.

Witho~t exception all ot the rel1giou1 organizations have taken a stand against the celebration of CbanUkah 1n the public aohool and theratore, against the celebra tion or Christmas in the public school.

Another Rabbi 1n Toronto, Canada, th.re~ years ago preached what he thought 'tfae a ta1rl7 1nnocuoue sermon about the text ot Chr11tr.ae oarole ln use 1n the schools ln Toronto. l'O'U would have thought that he ad•ocated blorlng up the mansion ot the Go"Ternor-General.

I th1:nk th&t there onl.7 ihree ~bi~a that we oan do abOu' 1t. I think the first thing we can do about it 11 to help Cbrtet1an• celebrate O?ir1atmas as it should be oelebrated, and tbEf.~ means not to try to uauro the hol14aJ troa \hea. Jelfl 8h~uld not cele brate Ohr1atmaa 1n any detail. The aeoond thing that we can do 1• not to have &DJ' ChanWtah prograas ln the public schools. Thai is v1ih1n our Jurisdiction to decide. t'he third thing we can do is to ask the reapons1ble agencies ot our Jewish commun1tJ ( I suppose this would be the Milwaukee Jewish Couno11, Which is the co-ord1nat1ng body ot all ot the ag&nclea tn our olt1) to sit down in a d1sc1p11ne4 manner and 41•cuse whether we would 11ke to bring to the a'tention o'f the school boa.rd the tao-t that Ohriat.rr.as celebrations in 1he pub11c schoo1s ot ;this COllUI!Wli ty are becoming more and more relig1oue ly oriented.

Thia la a rel1g1ous ooncept wlth whlch I take no exception what soever when 1 t 1s in a. Church or in a Ohr1st1a.n home. It belonga 1n those two places, nowhere alee. So, I think. that '1le first -~ 'hlng we should do 1.s to h&Te our raspon•1b1e Jenah ao_uni,J' ageno1ea make a Tert oaratul •tlM'eJ ot ihe extent 'to vhih Chr1•'• maa 11 muahrooall\g and growing 1n our cltJ as I h&Te the 1'eel1ng it ls and being abused ahd m11Qiecl ln tbe public achool 1'rarr.eworJt. !'base three thin.gs, good 1'r1eDda, ve should do in order to retain our •elt reepect as Jeva and ln order to protect that which is one ot the moat cmerlsbed cornerstones of American 4:amoorao1, the separation ot oharoh and state.

(J'TA) -- Leaders of various Jewish orga~i~ations today issued statements hailing as a victory for the cause of religious liberty a ''unani mous decis.ion yesterday of the New Jersey Supr~me Court ruling that the Klag James version of tpe Bible cannot be diatrlbated in the ~tate•a pqblic sc~ob. The court issued a permanent ~unctiop in favor of a Jewish parent against the Gideon Society, an international Bib.J.e distributing age~cy, blocking the use of Ruther £ ord, N. J., public schools for free distributloa of Bibles to students. . . Chief Justice Arthur T. ·Vanderbilt.. said, in a decisi'Ob 'written for the court, that school distribution of New Testament Bibles would violate constitutional provi sions. for the separatl(!n of church and. state. The use of schools to distribute such J religious materials, he pointed out, "would cast aside all. progress made in the United States and throughout New Jersey in the field of religious tolerance and freedom." "We would be renewing the ancient struggles among the various religious faiths . to the detriment of all; this we must decline to do, " the Chief Justice declared. The · J Supreme Court ruling set aside a lower court verdict which permitted the Bible · program. The Jewish leaders who praised the ruling .Of the court included Dr, Israel Gold stein, president of the American Jewish Congress; Bernard H.
