F AMIL Y YAHRZEIT LIGHT CEREMONIAL

The f amily is gathered at dusk, bef ole the evening ?nea l, on the eve of the an­niversQ?'Y of the death of the departed. The head of the f amily speaks :

Dear Ones - at this moment which bears the memory of our beloved . . . (name) , let us join hands in token of God's grace. A link has been broken in the chain of affection which has long bound us together, yet the blessed bonds of home and love remain. With pray­erful hearts, we rec.eive this divine gift of life which. holds us together in fam­iLy 'union.

Eternal God, we thank Thee that in the hour of bereavement Thou didst sustain us. Though sorrow lingers in our~ memory, we have learned that love is stronger than death. At Thy com­mand, our loved one has gone to his (her) etern3Jl rest. To Thee we lift grateful hearts, for we sense our be­loved in o·u very midst as a living presence. We acknowledge Thy mercy, o Father, Who doth strengthen Thy children with faith and peace.

A t this point it would be appropriate t o?' m embet·s of the g?'oup to recite n passage from th e Bible 0 1" Pr'ayer-boo!c w hich was a f avorite of the departed, u(r to recall intimate cha?'acte?'istics and tender' incidents in his or' her' life. • As our dear one lives again for us in these words and memories, we kindle the Yahrzeit Light and sanctify it in the remembrance of the Divine Word: "The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord."

of the righteous is a blessing. -':Central Conference of American Rabbis

CLOTHING IS DESPERATELY NEEDED

In every part of the world clothing is t he most urgent need.

The very lives of multitudes of victims of the Axi agressors depend on the prompt filling of their clothing needs. The health of many millions of them al-, ready has been seriously affected by the lack of adequate clothing.

But life and health are not all that is involved. They need clothing to re­gain their self-respect. They need it to go about the urgent tasks of rebuilding their broken homes and restoring their demolished towns and cities. They need it to become, as they wish to become, full I)artners in establishing and main­taining the future peace of the world.

The Euclid A venue Temple is a sta­tion to which you can bring clothing a nd shoes. Search your attics and other storage places for unused' and forgotten clothing and bring them to the temple. Style does not matter. Anything and everyhing usable in the form of men's, women's, boys' , girls' and infant's wear and bedding wii! come, as a gift from heaven, to these millions of stricken peo-1)le. . The Uni~ed National Clothing Col:lec­

bon Committee is sponsoring this effort i~ behalf of the various war relief agen­cies and UNRRA. It will be the one na­tion-wide clothing drive for overseas re­'lief during the spring of 1945. The Sis­terhood committee for the drive is head­ed by the very capable Mrs. B. Walder.

Get bu y now. Make this collection an outstanding s uccess-and help the war ravaged millions help themselves.

WANTED CIGARETTES Cigarettes are urgently needed for the

Train Kits, which are supplied to sel'vice men in transit. It is on these trips that they need cigarettes most. Smoke a lit­tle less and bring a package to the teml)le so that the Sisterhood can pre­par~ its Train Kits.

CONGRATULATIONS to Mr. and Mrs. Simon A. Cohen and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Gros man on the birth of a grand­daughter, Eileen Cohen.

IN MEMORIAM Our heartfelt sympathy is extended to

the bereaved family of Ida Shaberman.

HYMN OF PATRIOTISM FOR ALL CREEDS

by M. Willard Lampe

'rune, "America"

The thought is based on Micah 6.8

God of our history, Our fathers worshipped Thee With one aocord. They were from many lands, Of many creeds and clans, But Thee, with . lifted hands, They aU adored!

~od of the present hour, $end forth Thy saving power In this our day: Grant us the grace to see, In our diversity, Thy bond of unity­Father, we pray. I Blend Thou our liberty With true frat~rnity The world around, till every land be free To trust not only Thee

ABut all humanity,

nd peace abound.

God of our destiny, Be this old . litany Our staff and rod: "Do justly" while we may, "Love mercy" day by day, "Walk humbly" all the way With Thee our God!

CAPTURED GERMANS PACK KOSHER FOODS

German prisoners of war, who a few months ago were spreading Hitler's racial doctrines on the battlefields of Europe are busily engaged packing kosher food products at the I. Rokeach and Sons plant at Farmingdale.

The captured Germans, quartered at Camp Dix, are transported to the plant daily in the company's trucks to help fill the manpower shortage. Harry Doob, manager of the faotory, said today that about half the company's personnel of thirty workers is made up of captives who have been employed under a con­tract with the Government. The contract has several months to run, he said.

"We've had no trouble with them since they've been here," said Mr. Doob, "and they get along fine with the rest of the workers."

The consumer destination of the food packed by the Germans for the concern, which is one of the (largest producers for the-Jewish trade in this country, "is nev­er discussed," Mr. Doob said. He indi­cated, however, that despite the Nazi ideology concerning Jews the captives had developed a considerable fondness for the Jewish food. The company packs pickles, processed tomatoes and other products.

Civilian workers in the plant found hu­mor in the German's constant snatching of morsels from t he containers which are labeled kosher.-New York Times.

R~d Readuu; " ONE GOD"

by Florence Mary Fitch One God is based on the principle

that our children must be taught to deal with people of all faiths in a truly American way- not with ignor­ance, but with knowledge; not with bigotry, but with understanding. It is an important children's book of our time. Illustrated with large authentic photo­

graphs of inspiring beauty, ONE GOD expilains the essentials of the Protest ant, Catholic, and Jewish religions. It outlines the history, ceremonies, and beliefs of each, notes the differ­ences with fairness, but never loses sight of the fact that all three faiths are different ways in which we Am­ericans all worship the same God.

This book is availaMe in our temple Library open to all members of our congregation.

WE THE PEOPLE Appearing on the nationwide radio

program, "We The People," Kate Smith told the moving story of a Jewish fam­ily who had been hidden from the Ges­tapo by their Belgian friends for four years. Then as only she could say, she added:

"It seems to me that faith in the decency of human beings is what we must have more of, if there is to be a future for all of us in the world ' . ' . I'm not an expert on foreign affairs and I don't pretend to know all the complex things that will have to be done for a lasting peace. But I am a human being, and I do know something about people ... Race hatred, social prejudices, re­ligious bigotry-they are the diseases that eat away at the fibres of peace. Un­less they are exterminated it's inevit­able that we will have another war. And where are they going to be exterminat­ed? At a conference table in Geneva? Not by a long shot. In your own city, your church, your children's school, per­haps in your own home. You and I mnst do it-every father and mother in the world, every teacher, everyone who can rightfully CallI himself a human being."

In the next few days, 16,000 letters poured into her mailbox.- Exchange.
