The Jewish Women of Omaha Approach the 1940 Jewish Phllanthropies campaign for war relief and refugees with a definite task before them - - a task which dearly implies a challenge.

" •

Over a period of 10 years Jew> |sh women in Omaha have taken an active part in the annual cant paAgaa. They furnished devoted trackers, and gave contributions ;<* ittielr own. A structure has toon built up which has become ef ftermaneht value to the Jewish community, namely the Women's Division of the Jewish Philanthropies.

The importance of the role which women must play In the forthcoming campaign cannot be pveremphaslzed. As an important Segment of the entire campaign organization, the women have always stood ready to shoulder their part of the community's responsibility. With a gigantic task ahead of us, the wholehearted Support a n d understanding of every woman is guite essential.

-

1 Last year, the Women's Dlvifllon of ,the Jewish Philanthropies raised almost 510,000, and solicited some 2,000 prospects. Jt was a splendid humanitarian service, which lent zeal and encouragement to the entire campaign.

It was particularly helpful in bringing the message of the- Jewish Philanthropies into every «Tcwvish home, and helped *o emit* the atmosphere which matte our 1089 achievements possible, ,

With needs Infinitely greater this year, an Intensification of effort Is needed. The truth Is that every Jewish woman, who can possibly afford to make a contribution as of her own right, must do so. And the highest possible standard of giving must be set. *

Women no longer expect their tiusbnnds to give for both, as they no longer expect their husbands to vote tor both. They must give generously of their resources. In tftdditlon to whatever their hasbands give. Only then can they jfeel that they are helping personally In extending relief to those who are In dire need. ' Business and professional women, who have independent income of their owfl, should give In proportion to their earnings. They should welcome the opportunity to give as of their own right to a cause which spells LIFE to millions of Jews. ; • •.

Three-fourths of all the sufferers overseas are women and children. Starving Jewish mothers, with babes in arms, fatherless and motherless children, wander over the face of Europe. ' A s always, the cry of women and children must be answered first. As always; Jewish women will .respond, but the response must be greater t h a n

By PHINEAS J. BIRON NAZTI STUFF Is Hitler also, like so many of his adjutants, building up reserves outside of Germany against the day when the Germans will at last kick out the Nazis? . . . The suspicion is raised by the fact that before the war broke out the Bhefr Verlag, of which Adolf is the head and the publications of which Include "Meiri Kampf,' used to ask English purchasers to pay t h e i r bills to the firm's account in t h e London office of a bank of one of the new neutral countries . . . And have we told you of the latest refinement of cruelty hatched in the fertile brains of the Gestapo? . . .

They blindfold t h e i r prisoner, stretch out his arms, and then put a pound of butter in one hand and a pound of steak in the other . . , Then they remove the blindfold— and the poor victim drops dead from the shock . . . It's news to the U. S. Navy, but the Nazis have been telling the world that a British battleship has sunk an American submarine named — of all things — "The Madison Square Garden" . . . Needless to say, nothing of the sort has happened, and no submarine of that n a m e , exists . . . Anything to stir up bad blood, is the good old Nazi slogan . . .

LISTEN HERE D a n t o n Walker claims that there's something to the rumor tliat Myron Taylor will take up with tho Pope the silencing of Father Coughlin . . . It seems that, what with all the excitement of on election c a m p a i g n coming, Father Conghlin's speeches might produce nasty moods . . . Have yon heard tliat New Jersey, in certain sections of which the Bund was doing quite well for some time, is now becoming the center of a Ku Klnx Klnn revival? . . .

Tho resourceful press agent for "Margin for Error" thought he had a bright scheme, which Involved tho distribution of millions of match booklets bearing t b o legend "Watch Hitler Burn" . . .

The Idea was to make each match a miniature figure of the Fuehrer . . . But the stunt never saw daylight, as the match book manufacturers prefer to keep out of international hot water . . .

THIS AND THAT Nobody is paying much attention to the protests against Britain in connection with the stoppage of land sales In Palestine.., It's because England foresaw that the Jews cannot help supporting her in the present war that she timed this inhuman regulation so perfectly . •. . Before his return to London Dr. Chaim Welzmann arranged for the publication of a book that most probably will be entitled "The Jew" . . . It will contain contributions by such observers as Pierre van Paassen, Dorothy Thompson, John Gunther, Thomas Mann, etc. . . . A comprehensive preface will be written by Dr. Welzmann himself; . . T h i s book is intended to serye as tho Jewish Bl ue-and-Whlte Book to bo handed to the statesmen who some day are going to sit around the peace conference table . . .

JOHN FARBERIS NAMED CHAIRMAN OF INITIAL GIFTS (Continued from page 1.) money and energy, I am glad to accept the responsibility as chairman of the Initial Gifts division of this year's Jewish Philanthropies. I realize that every Jew, as never before, has a responsibility to our people faced with an unprecedented crisis, which responsibility calls for united action and support to the end of preserving the rights and the civilization of the Jew. I have reason to believe that every Jewish man, woman and child in Omaha will not only contribute to the utmost but will participate actively in this work.

"In my judgment the protection of our people rests in what we do for ourselves. Our vigilance is the best insurance for the preservation of our heritage, and our welfare."

Mr. Farber said that he has already begun the organization of

MIZRACHI PROTESTS BRITISH UNO CURB (Continued from page 1.) to buy lacd in Palestine. "Thi3 is a betrayal of the very trust which Jewry and the entire world had placed in the loyalty of Great Britain to a given word."

The second address of tke Sunday session was given by Rabbi Rackovbky, who diMUbsed the problems of the Jev>s in the diaspora. "For many years Zionism was considered the most potent of the ideas which bring Jews together. But of late we sense even among the Zionists a feeling of doubt as to the power of the pure Zionist ideal."

Resolutions passed by the Conference condemned the new British land policy and pledged the organization to the fight against the implementation of the Mandate's action.

Rabbi Bolotuikov of Sioux City also spoke at the Conference.

Besides Kabbi Bender and Rabbi Rackovsky, other officers chosen are: L. S. Raskas of St. Lou la, second vice-president; B. P. Rothblatt, Des M o i n e s, secretary; Philip Wang, Kansas City, treasurer, and Rabbi Laderman, chairman of the Board,

This wire of Mejutliem Ussishkin is & call to Ameiic&tt Jewry. .

Indignation alone will not do it! The administration of t h e Jewish National Fund further asserts that protests by themselves will not make available another inch of soil for tee refugees and the builders of the Jewish National Home. Our protest must be accompanied by coastructive and definite action. This action must aim at converting the still existing opportunities into new land purchase—into footholds for refugees and strongholds of t h e Jewish National Home.

A quarter of a million dollars was forwarded to Ussishkin and another .12 50,000 must be raised by the end of March. O m a h a Jewish citizenry can help a great deal by simply filling the J. N. F. boxes that are so much a part of every Jewish home.

In order to aid this emergency call for funds for the buying of land the Omaha chapter of Hadassah will hold a tea at its regular monthly meeting to be held on Wednesday, M a r c h 27, to which members will be admitted only by the J. N. F. box or a cash contribution from those who dp not yet have their boxes. All contributions will be gratefully accepted and everyone is urged to come.

Chairman of J. N. F. is Mrs. William Alberts and Mrs. Dave Stein is co-chairman. Captains are Mrs; M. F. Levenson, Mrs. Max Cohn, Mrs. Aaron Edgar, Mrs. J. Rosenberg, Mrs. D a v e Finkle and Mrs. J. M. Rice.

DAVID BLACKER—Business and Managing Bditer LEONARD NATHAN . . . . . .

Editor RABBI THEODORE N. LEWIS - Book Editor FRANCES BLACKER - - Society Editor MORRIS AIZENBERG—Sioux City Correspondent

New Curbs At a time when Arab-Jewish relations in Palestine were rapidly coming to a most encouraging point, the British government has dropped another bombshell which will in all possibility nullify lor a good time to come whatever has been done to end bad-blood between the two peoples. It seems as though Great Britain is deliberately playing a divide and rule game and is geing out of her way to squelch any rapprochement.

Under a ruling of the colonial secretary, land purchases in Palestine have been seriously restricted. The logic Is ridiculous—the idea of preventing the problem of the 'landless Arab' when the Arab has been landless for hundreds of years.

The very name Bedouin has come to signify one who has no attachments.

The Jews have a very strong case against this policy and are demanding that the British government submit the ruling to the Permanent Court of International Justice at the Hague. It has been pointed out that when the Colonial Office first suggested this policy of land-restrictions it was bitterly assailed by the League Mandates Commission on the grounds it violated the spirit of the Mandate. The Jewish Agency has pointed out •with devastating evidence that the policy is plainly illegal.

Moreover the act introduces racial legislation into Palestine by forbidding Jews to buy land. It Is not as though all Palestine land was under cultivation. Thousands of acres lie uncultivated.

Much of what the Jews possess is reclaimed land that was utterly valueless.

If there was a land problem between Jew and Arab, there is every reason to believe that had the present circumstances continued that problem would have eventually been solved to the satisfaction of both.

By tier action Britain reveals she is playing a dubious game, in Palestine. The British parliament is not satisfied by the government's action nor are Jews and Arabs.

rather than weakening imperial ties, has, as do all crises, strengthened them and Germany by permitting this war has defeated such ends. After all the Nazis tad sold a bill of goods to the imperialist group and had she Leea more cautious would liave extended her hegemony virtually with British cooperation, &s in the case of Austria and Czechoslovakia.

Y/li&tever the evils of Britain, it goes without saying that the influence of Germany would be a thousand times worse. We have examples of Germany's treatment of conquered peoples, and England, tad as she lias been, was never quite that bad. Far be it from us to put forth any arguments for imperialism, British or any other kind, but for Germany to justify her sins by the misdeeds of Britain is an evasion o£ realities aad a waste of Mr. Welles' valuable time.

Whatever the condition of the world at the present time, the greatest share of misery may be laid at Germany's door. Even under the Kaiser, Germany was gaining her victories in the foreign field by disrupting the peace of world by a series of crises. The British empire was built by heroic men and heroic deeds, not by the false heroisms of goose-stepping savages.

Gems of the Bible and Talmud

By Dr. Pfctiip Ster BIBLE IK the days to come fcha.ll take root, Israel blossom and bud.

And it shall be as when a hungry man dre&iaeth, and behold he e&teth but he awaketh, and his soul is empty; or as when a thirsty man dreameth and 'beheld k© driiiketh, but he awaketb and behold he is faint &ud he soul is dry — so shall the multitude of all the nations be t h a t , fight against Zien.

Woe uRto them that seek deep to hide their counsel froiu the Lord and their works are in.the dark, &Hd they say: "Who seeth us and who knowth us?"

TALMUD Rabbi Maier was In the habit of saying: The very same scale with which man measures others will be meted out to him. (As he deals with others, he will be dealt with.)

Our Rabbis were taught: A Sota cast her eyes upon things which did not belong to her; the consequence was that that which she desired the did not get, and even that which she did have was taken from her. For, whoever casts his eyes to desire things which do not belong to him, the result will be that not only will he not obtain.'his desires, but even that which belongs to him will also be taken from him.

Rabbi Chemnina said: "God doth not punish a man until his measure of iniquities is full.

Rabbi Akiba expounded: As a reward for the righteous woman who lived in that generation was Israel-redeemed from Egypt.

Rabbi Elezar said: "Wealth is as dear to the righteous as their own body. The reason is that they have worked hard to earn it.

condemned to death for "ritual murder."

No sooner was the verdict announced than Masaryk, singlehanded, went to Hilsner's defense.

In pamphlets and articles—whenever the newspapers would pub> lish them—he attacked the courts for miscarriage of jestice. He proved that never in the history of the world h&d there been shown that such a practice as Jewish ritual murder existed.

He shouted that it was a superstition passed down through the generations, and secretly support* ed by the church. He showed how improper testimony at t h e trial had been twisted, and how the leaders of government h a d joined with the police and t h e courts la a conspiracy to do away with one defenseless Jew. So great was the outcry against Austria-Hungarian justice in other n&tions, as they learned t h e truth through Masaryk's articles, that the government was forced to grant another trial. The verdict was revereed, although Hilgner was imprisoned.

But the trial was not over; for.

• This is a superb volume of historical fiction, of history embellished end extended by a judicious and purposeful use of the imagination. The hero is t h a t tragic and distinguished Talinudic >cholar, Elisha ben Abuyah, who despite immense Jewish learning find wisdom forsook the religion bf his fathers and his people. l a ithe entire Talmudic literature there is no character like that of Elisha, puzzling, elusive, intrigu;j And it is this man, more correctly his tortured soul, the conjjfused spirit of a bewildered and ; 'intrepid searcher after truth which forms t h e basis for this d e . jlightful and stirring novel, whose title is taken from Job, who also battled with God and threw at t h e 'Divine bold a n d defiant queries. !j Achievement ij To weave a fascinating tale ; about the apostasy of this distinguished scholar in Israel is a n i achievement in itself. Theachievei'ment is enormously enhanced by ije keen grasp of the dramatic", by ;ia rich command of an excellent land vivid style, by fine scholarship, and by a deep understanding of the Jewish tradition and 'of the spirit of its rival, Rome -jend its paganism. j Throughout the entire book in a restrained b u t persuasive and moving fashion, the a u t h o r preaches and illustrates t h e beauties of Judaism, its function and 'mission throughout t h e ages, •which is the same today as in centuries past. Inescapable and j tenacious is t h e link that binds a J e w to his tradition and people.

Even in bis most defiant moods, •'• even a t the moment of his basest j treachery, Elisha found it impossible to divorce himself completel y from his ancient past. . The memories of his associates, ' ' of t h e Synagogue, and the knowlt edge of the superiority of the 'Jewish way of life to t h e pagan, baunt him a n d give him neither , peace of mind n o r of body. If h e ' w a s unable to find tranquility of j spirit within t h e House of Israel, • It proved even more beyond his i reach when h e had apostaslzed.

The long a n d arduous journey, i undertaken in the hope of establishing religious faith and belief V as a mathematical formula ends In futility.

EliBha came to his scepticism j almost by heredity. Dying only a | short while after his birth, his \ father had already become infected w i t h dangerous thoughts.

True, he performed for h i s younjg I eon all the prescribed requirei ments of tradition, b u t only o u t > of habit and a desire n o t to p r o , voke his brother, Amram, a rigid,

a n d enthusiastic traditionalist I -who held Jewish doctrine in high

esteem aad everything else in deep contempt.

Upon the death of his father, Elisha comes under the tutelage of this Amram, who even arranges his marriage to Deborah, a beautiful and cultured maiden, to insure his abiding loyalty to Judaism.

Deborah is little thrilled about this union, and acquires affection for her spouse only when the break between the two had already reached its culminating point. Her lack of sympathy and understanding contributes in no small measure to the apostasy of her husband.

Ordination Though enjoying the life of an aristocrat, the goal of Elisha was ordination, which would entitle him to sit In the Sanhedrin and to decide questions of civil and CYIminal law.

For this auspicious event the youth prepares most diligently, but against the wishes of Debora since his studies in distant academies require frequent and prolonged absences from home. The ordination at Gamliel's hands marks the fulfillment of his deepest longing, the climax of his aspiration.

And it is now that tragedy set in. Doubts concerning his faith suddenly assail him, doubts touching the doctrines and dogmas of the Jewish tradition, about God and His ways, about the destiny of the soul, about the mystery of revelation, about the Torah and many of its onerous prescriptions.

He is dissatisfied with mere faith —and seeks* to validate it as one can and does a Euclidean theorem.

In search for truth and unable to find it In Judaism, Elisha goes to Antioch, a large and important city of Rome, where Greek culture dominates. The author handles the gradual initiation of this erstwhile rabbi in pagan ways most deftly. Little by way, step by step, does Elisha shed his Jewish ways in dress, diet, and belief. The final and most violent break with his past comes in his temporary union with. Manto, a bewitching courtesan, who though sought by many, dispenses her favors sparingly, to a very select few, amongst which Elisha soon becomes the most favored. Though he had legally divorced Debora prior to his excommunication and. departure, the ancient moral code in which he was reared, a discipline which subdues and tames passions, still dwells within, and hinders the free enjoyment of illicit sensual pleasures.

Dilemma Though admiring the ease and beauty of Greek life and Roman legal genius he misses Antioch, the essential humanity, that precious quality of mercy, so conspicuous a characteristic of the

Tora and the Jewish tradition sections portraying the efforts of he spurned. The callous traffic Rome to decimate the rabbis and in slaves repels him.
