In addition to secular education in the public schools each child is given such training as is best suited to his talent and ability. No effort is spa.-ed toward providing that type of instruction which will help to prepare the children to become independent and self-supporting when they leave the home.

The educational opportunities, the standard of -work and type of scholarship we offer our children is equal to that of children coming from average private homes.

A number of our children obtain the highest scholastic ranks in their classes and are the reciients of many honors for their superior knowledge and excellent deportment.

Playing an important part in our educational program is our Milton Lindner Library, a popular place for children seeking educacational or recreational reading.

Often we admit children "who are unfamiliar with the history and traditions of our race. They know little or nothing of the holidays, ceremonies and lofty principles of Judaism. Each child is assigned to a class according to his age or ability, and there he is taught Religion, Hebrew, Jewish history, literature, and ethics.

Included in the Religious School "are ten classes under very WITE2 HFE-S&VEB. capable supervision.

Children • graduating from the tenth grade are confirmed in one of-the synagogues •with appropriate ceremonies. Both boys and girls attend regular Hebrew classes, and boys am prepared for their Bar Mitzvah.

All holidays are observed a n i celebrated in the traditional manner. The various ceremonies make an indelible impression on the plastic young minds, and the spirit on these occasions is magnificent.

The poorest of the poor have . given their last penny •. in : order' that trees might grow in'a'long* neglected country; thousands and tea o£ thousands of young people, Inspired with deep faith, have voluntarily left secure positions and comfortable lives to make that ancient earth fruitful again; today the blood and sweat of • two generations of Jews have restored its fertility.

Unlike emigrants to o t h e r countries, those pioneers did not go to the Holy Land to grov/ wealthy and live in greater comfort. They • went there for the sake of an. ideal, the Ideal of building a home for their people, their language, their cultural heritage, of demonstrating to the world the productive capacities of this people. .

From the very beginning Palestine has been a moral achievement, bom of idealistic yearning and brought to realization -with self-sacrificing courage. No matter how the. sinister political developments of our day may mutilate this great achievement, the clear eye of history •will see it as it was conceived and carried out: Heroically great, touching in its sacrifical spirit, an epic of idealism and nobility of. spirit as powerful and' significant as the epic of the Bible.

We cannot and "will not believe, therefore, that such idealism and devotion can fail to bear fruit. After - thousands of years the Jewish people * has - found itself again i s Palestine, in the idea of Palestine, and it is only this inner rehabilitation which •will enable it to survive the appalling trials.of.the present time.

Verses Rea«3 ' These verses are read, to this day, in the service of the Day of Atonement. And to them is added the. prophet's noble explanation: "Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy, burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye' break every yoke? Is it net to deal thy bread to tae hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to- thy- house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh. Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy healing shall spring forth • speedily." .: .Here, then, lies .the 'full' significance of tha fast. The physical affliction is a summons to the fulfillment, of ultimate,, spiritual responsibilities of man to his fellow man and to his God. This significance '"was always, prominent. It was the motive for. the ancient Temple ritual, where the High Priest bathed to purify himself, where he . offered . sacrifices and choss scapegoat, • whera he recited his eloquent confessional, whera he entered the. Holy of Holie3 in simple linen garments to face the mystery of God's majestic spirit. . Tha destruction of tha' Temple ia Jerusalem put an end only to the elaborate ' priestly ritual, but left untouched tha purpose of Yoia Kippur; There ia a lovely anecdote told' about Rabbi Johanaa ben Zakkai who onca stood gasing with' hi3 pupil Rabbi Joshua at the ruins of the Temple, and Rabbi-Joshua' said,'"Woe unto ' us,, that the place where . the Jews were forgiven for their sins is now destroyed." To which Eabbi Johanan replied, "My son, do not regret. it. We have another medium, as good, for ths forgiveness cf sin. It is: Do good to. mankind, for it is written, 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice'."

the 24-hour'-'liturgy,' from Kol Nidre at.the one sunset through the Neilah service of,the second sunset. The poetic petitions lead every Jew to his holiest moments, even .as on thl3 day,• once upon a time, the High Priest was ; granted admission to , the holiest corner of the Temple. The prayers set before the Jew his superior self, his.character at his best moment, the character,he ought to be at every moment. The func-: tion of these prayers is criticism.

They review daily life, average behavior, in contrast.to the'qual-. ities and conduct of the ideal.life.

And it is through these prayers that the Jew is led to penitence.

Like Jonah,'whose story is read in the afternoon service, man recognizes that ' there i s . n o flight from the Lord and His Law. 1 ' Day of Reflection The order to repent, to return to the Lord when one stumbles in iniquity, is the principle message of the entire Yom Kippur service. The one day In the year is deliberately appointed f o r man's reflection and, for his reformation. For there is mucii to contemplate, much to Improve.

Face to face with himself and in the presence of his G o d , man asks himself what has he done with his Individual life, what have been his ambitions, where has he exceeded and where missed his mark? Can the individual rehearse his year's activities with utmost complacence? Have there been, perhaps. Ideals betrayed/ or compromised? W h a t questions indeed will not a man ask of himself in his solitariness? • W h i t shortcomings may he not find, and what more - effectively than ani awareness or failure will stimulate him to correction? . . . . . .

What has man done with and to 'himself, is a question as eternal as the questioner. But so long as man is a social being he will proceed to a n o t h e r question: What part has he played in his society, what kind of world has he helped create? Is his world motivated by justice, love, peace?

Is it possibly otherwise? and :it so, is not the Individual partner to the guilt and destiny of the tyrrany? Who has given the sanction to oppression, and'what can the righteous do in t h e world

whoso moral foundations ,h a v e crumbled? In the final analysis a society shall be known by its individual member's, and only' in a moral1" universe can the moral man be at home.

That is why, in.addition to^his personal confessional, the.;..Je w prays for a day when all t' h e' world shall come to serve the Lord and bless His glorious name.

"Now therefore, Q Lord our God,: impose .Thine" "awe upon alt Thy works and Thy dread over all that Thou hast created, that all Thy works may fear Thee, and all creatures worship Thee, that they may all form one ,band lo do Thy will with a perfect heart; even' as we know, 3 ; Lord our God, that dominion is Thine/' -•• As the day grows late and ths sun is low the Neilah, the closing service of-the Day of Atonement, is concluded with the blowing of a ram's horn. Rabbinic • legend has it that on that future day when the Messiah will come for man's redemption, a ram's horn will be blown to announce to the world the establishment .of the kingdom of Peace, in which, men will live by truth and righteousness will cover, the ea'.thij This note has a particular relevance to the desire of: man today. ..""'.;

"No man ever became poor by what be gave away," an 18th pentury Jew reminds us in his testament written to exhort his followers to righteous conduct. "To. be at peace with all the .world must' be your foremost aim in this terrestial life," he exhorts them.

Contend with • no man' In your dealings with the world youmust allow neither money nor ambition to disturb you . . .

Tremendous courage and daring conquered the plains . . . Vision and foresight transformed the vast waste into great grazing lands marked with herds of-the finest meat cattle.

Some are vulgar; others a r e aesthetic Jews come from the cultural backgrounds of 60 na- 1 tions. How can we single out one type against which to vent our spleen and, call it "the Jew?'.' We choose to judge 4,000,000 American citizens on the basis of a type fiction.

"To have served the farmers of America for one hundred years in the manufacture and sale of high-quality implements is to have created an obligation extending far into the future. We recognize this responsibility and appreciate the privilege of service it affords.

"Our pledge, as we pause at the beginning of the sec? ond hundred years, is that this obligation will be fulfilled. The confidence of agricultural America, gained by a rigid policy of offering quality equipment at a fair price, is the most cherished possession of the John t)eere organization."

might be very pleasant. Rita -was delighted and so wrapped up in the idea that the winter passed without much thought of the outside world.

Last spring they had sailed from Cherbourg. There had been a hit of a spree in Pari3, visiting the little restaurar'-? that she and her father liked, going to seme of the small museums as I well as the Louvre again. Then, 1 tiie boat had beea an experience ' l a itself.

New York for a few days had been esciting and Albany, the capital of the state, was amusing -with its old streets and the bustle around capital hill. It really seemed American.

"When, the- relatives and n e w people in' Albany began" to ask about the refugee situation OT to discuss Temple affairs, Rita shied away aad began to talk about other things. But, it had becoms increasingly difficult to escape this bogey which seemed to trail her round the world.

She -was still Rita Benton. New York university sounded exciting and she would not be bound by the small town social life which seemed to be Albany. ' So, here sha waa ia New York, admitted to the university of her choice. There was the question: "Religious affiliation."

How to Answer There wasn't much time to waste. The blank3 were being passed out to an endless line of students.-- She coulun't occupy this seat forever. Someone might come to ask whether'there was s question.

A question there was. But it wasn't ths sort of routine question that someone else could answer.

Hurriedly t h e r e f l a s hed through Rita's mind the problems involved. Sha had had to listen to soms conversation during these years. She had been unable to avoid seein gsomething of. what the newspapers said. Her father did tune in on news broadcasts and she had not been able tu stuff her ears with cotton or littla rubber buttons.

Rita knew that soms of t h e people who had been forced to leava Germany had been Q3 nnJewiah, so to spaak, &s she was.

She knew that they had beea smartly dressad and that they had names as correctly German as hars was English or American.

She knew that they were educated people who were as interested in art and ia the fine things of lifa as" she was. She knew that sonia of them had be.en as careful ta avoid Temple as she was. She» knew that most of their associates had been Germans of a cultured type as hers had teen English-of the s a n s sort.

"Religions affiliation:" EsIiglCEs AffiMticsi It ssersed almost menacing, staring her in the face. £ h e could sa ythat she had no religious. affiliations. She had none True, her father had alwayg belonged to a Temple and had retained membership in the Albany congregation daring all the years that he had been abroad. StlV, she, Rita Benton, had never dona anything about that. She hadn't signified her intention of having anything to do with a Temple.

What to do? Glancing "to the left, Rita happened to raaka oat the v,rord "democracy" as part cf the title of a book that was lying oa the table next to her neighbor.

As vec3l<a fio -when trying to escape a puzzle, Rita began to think about the word ia aa idle way.

She remembered reading the CoastStuUon of the United States when -she bad first coaie to Arserica. After all, one should know
