TYG HONORED

The Temple Youth Group has been
honored through its selection as host
city for a Tri—State Conclave to be held
during the weekend January 12—14.

The Tri-State area is a sub-division
of the Ohio Valley Federation Temple
Youth. OVFTY includes the states of
Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana,
and parts of Tennessee. Delegates from
the youth groups and congregations
throughout this section share periodi—
cally in Conclaves and Conclavettes for
the purpose of religious inspiration,
prayer, study and social contacts, all
worthy practices within the framework
of the Temple. Our Youth Group is to be
congratulated for its merit in achieving
the distinction as host group.

"A TIME TO GROW UP"

Youth and the problems of teen—agers
are themes currently receiving promi—
nent publicity and interest in periodicals
both professional and popular. The res—
ponsibilities and obligations associated
with the process of maturation are being
brought to the attention of our youth, es-
pecially through the influence of Temple
Youth Groups and their emphasis upon
civil rights, humane considerations and
national justice.

On Friday evening, January 12, the
Temple Youth Group of Lexington will
serve as the host for the Tri—State Con-
clave scheduled for that weekend. As
his sermon topic for that night, the
Rabbi will speak on "A Time To Grow
Up. " The usual Sabbath Social sponsor—
ed by the Sisterhood will follow the Wor—
ship Service.

TYG TO MEET

The Temple Youth Group will conduct
its next meeting on Sunday, January 7,
at 5:30 P.M. , in the Temple Vestry. It
will be a dinner meeting. The guest speak—
er will be Mr. Harvey Fields, Ohio Valley
Federation Temple Youth's Advisor from
Cincinnati. Mr. Fields is an upper class—
man at the Hebrew Union College, pre—
paring to enter the Reform Rabbinate up—
on his ordination. His message will con—
cern itself with the forthcoming Conclave
in which Lexington will host delegates
from Tri-State (a division of OVFTY),
Louisville and Cincinnati. All TYG mem-
bers are encouraged to attend this meet—
ing which will undoubtedly prove most
informative and interesting.

"JUDAISM'S BEST SELLER"

On Sunday, January 7, at 9:30 A.M. .
Rabbi Rothman will begin a new series
of three lectures dealing with the theme
"Judaism's Best Seller. " In this series
the Rabbi will analyze the Bible as litera—
ture and present its historical develop-
ment. The series will continue with its
second and third meetings on January 21
and 28.

LIBRARY BOOKS

The Temple Adath Israel Library ex—
ists for the sole purpose of serving con—
gregants interested in reading matter of
Jewish and allied themes. To do so ef—
ficiently requires a system that must have
the cooperation of borrowers. When books
are borrowed for a specified length of
time, they must be returned so that others
waiting may have an opportunity to use
them.

The following books are missing:

"Where Judaism Differed" by Silver.

"Certain People of the Book" by
Samuel.

"Look Back, Mrs. Lot" by Kishon.

"College Guide for Jewish Youth" by
B'nai B'rith.

A PURPOSE IN LIFE

A purpose gives meaning to life. It is
like the hub in a wheel — with every
spoke fitted into it to make a strong and
perfect circle. Without such a hub,
spokes will not radiate evenly and your
wheel will lack strength, will tend to
break apart on the first good bump it
hits. Given a strong hub, a strong pur—
pose, a person can take a surprising
number of shocks and bumps on the out—
side rim without sustaining permanent
damage.

”ACHIEVING EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW"
(From the resolutions of the 46th Assembly of the UAHC)

 

The Union of American Hebrew Congregations has consistently opposed all forms
of racial segregation because of our fundamental belief in the equality of all men un—
der God. We have joined with all Americans of good will in continuing efforts to vin—
dicate in every section of our land the American dream of human equality.

Recognizing that there are many approaches to the safeguarding of equal protec—
tion under law, we salute the men and women of various faiths and races who have
risked their freedom and their personal safety to assert through direct, non—violent
action the equal dignity of every American under the law.

We are also deeply heartened by the significant forward strides taken in recent
months by such communities as Atlanta, Memphis, and Dallas. We commend those
public authorities and religious leaders in these and other cities who have courage—
ously guided their communities through a peaceful transition and helped them to meet
the moral challenge of desegregation with dignity and respect for law and order.

There are positive indications of our increased determination as a nation to eradi—
cate the barriers of segregation which still divide Americans from each other. The
firmness of the federal courts, the vigor of the United States Justice Department in
defense of equal rights, the fresh initiatives being undertaken by the President in the
exercise of moral and executive leadership, the strengthened program of the Presi—
dent's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunities and other governmental agen—
cies, and the spread of needed anti—discrimination laws to a large number of states
and communities. . .all these are earnest examples of progress and expressions of a.
national will.

We especially hail the United States Commission on Civil Rights, whose recent
milestone reports have charted the urgent, unfinished business which remains in ex—
tending to every American the full measure of his dignity and rights as an American
citizen. We associate ourselves with the Commission's plea for new federal legis—
lation to safeguard equality of opportunity for all Americans in education, housing,
employment and the right to vote.

Specifically, we support the Commission's recommendations that (1) effective
legislation be enacted by the Congress to assure the right to vote to all Americans,
thus ending the abuse of such devices as literacy tests to support racial discrimi—
nation; and (2) the President of the United States issue an Executive Order stating the
national objective of equal opportunity in housing and directing all federal agencies
to shape their policies and practices to this goal; and that this order apply to, among
other agencies, the Federal Housing Authority, Veterans Administration, Federal
National Mortgage Association, and those agencies supervising financial institutions
engaged in home mortgage loan business.

Gratifying as is the progress of recent years, we are painfully aware of the long
climb which stretches ahead of us as a nation. Our next Biennial will take place in
1963. . .one hundred years after the Emancipation Proclamation. We are humbled by
the knowledge that if democracy cannot end segregation, segregation may end demo-
cracy. We pledge ourselves, as individual Americans and as inheritors of the dream
of one brotherhood under one God, to be zealous for the dignity and rights of our
neighbors as we would have them to be of ours.

We appeal to our own members and congregations, as to all men and women of
good will, to redouble their efforts toward the elimination of all forms of racial in—
justice and to strive unceasingly to complete the mission of equal rights and full op—
portunities under the law.

"THE MEANING OF JUDAISM"
By Michael Ades, Senior at University of Pennsylvania

(From a sermon preached at our Temple on Friday, December 29, 1961)

I should like to talk briefly about some ideas and thoughts concerning the meaning
of Judaism which, I believe, are shared by many of my fellow students, as well as
myself.

To begin, I feel somewhat uneasy being here tonight. I recall how smoothly my
Confirmation service went several years ago, how happy we were that the long pro—
cess was finally over. What a relief; no more Sunday School, in fact, no more reli—
gion for awhile, at least on a compulsory basis. We were free to practice how and
when we pleased. We knew that Confirmation was supposed to be the beginning of a
full, life—long religious experience, but not so soon. After all, what fifteen or six—
teen year-old is not more interested in school activities, parties, sports, or even
NFTY Conclaves than such Confirmation class questions as, what is God, or why re—
form Judaism instead of Orthodox or Conservative, or even why Judaism rather than
Christianity? College life soon dominated our time; religious activities could wait
until afterwards. What good would it do us in college anyway? So many of us thought,
and many of us still think now.

So you see now why I feel somewhat ill at ease participating in this service, for I
have not actively participated or even rarely attended a Friday night service for the
past six years since Confirmation. And this service, well, it is only an annual affair;
so the least we can do is participate to keep everyone reassured that the younger
generation has not flown completely out of this world. See, we are here, we have not
forsaken our religion.

But somewhere along the way, we have begun to question intellectually many hith—
er-to taken—for—granted things, and religion is among these. All of us have thought
often and seriously about God, about the role of religion in our lives, and the part
that emotion or faith plays in our religion. Why, you may rightly ask us, have we
bothered to even consider these theoretical religious questions, when at the same
time we have refused to be active in the traditional rituals of Jewish life?

An answer to this question may provide some indications regarding our future reli—
gious activity.

First of all we have bothered over these religious questions because we realize
the tremendous affect that religion has had in our own lifes. We were continually ex—
posed to Judaism in our homes, through Sunday School and NFTY, throughout the
formative years of our lives. As much as we fought it at times, a lot was inculcated
in us. We may have forgotten now what year the Second Temple was destroyed in; but
we did learn the significance of the various rituals; we became aware that religion,
both on an institutional and a personal basis, could play a vital part in our lives; and
we did at times have private religious experiences which were vividly meaningful
then, and still are.

 Secondly, we have dwelt over these religious questions as an integral part of our

present college experience. This experience, has been in a sense an intellectual
awakening to, or awareness of the world of ideas. . .that neat. brilliant, narrow world

bounded by the textbook, the library, our professors and our fellow students. This ex—
perience has also been natural and healthy and essential to the fuller development of

us as responsible human beings. Because it is this stage that we are going through now,
it is necessary to consider our present religious inactivity in the context of this tem—
porary environment of little worldly responsibility, and inevitably loosening home and
religious ties. Now perhaps our abstention from the rituals of Judaism becomes more
understandable. We do not unhesitantly act and participate, but rather we hold our reli-
gion up for examination, to see if it passes the tests that Philosophy or History or
Biology are measured by. But you object that religion is not a proper subject to mea-
sure and to test for validity or utility, that it has a more profound significance; we
agree with you, but we still continue trying to measure the immeasurable. This is
where many of us are now. What then, for our future relations to Judaism following
this natural, but temporary, period of uncertainty.

One of the few ideas about this future which most of us do whole—heartedly accept
is the role that Judaism must play in the upbringing of our own children. Judaism
should be for them, as it was and is for us a basic framework on which can be plant—
ed and nurtured those precious moral and ethical values, on which can be nourished
the rich and proven heritage that has inspired previous Jews to surmount obstacles
and that we need to carry on successfully our daily lives in such a complex world.
Our religion, we feel, is absolutely indispensable in what will be the most important,
challenging, and rewarding task in our lives: the raising of our own children.

Fine so far. But how about us personally? Can Judaism have other meanings for
us ? How many times have we heard how it serves as a rallying point in adversity,
a source of consolation in moments of sorrow, an inspiration for deeds of social and
human justice, a refuge at one time, at others a home. Judaism is these things too,
we agree and they are good. But we still insist on going further, deeper, however,
for we know that a truly religious person enjoys all of these, while in addition, he
possesses one other quality. . . .faith. Perhaps this is what we are searching for.
Curious how elusive it is when so many are hunting it; how serious that it has evaded
us when it is so desperately needed.

What is faith? To each it means something a little different, but we all know its
common meanings. . . .trust, or confidence, or belief in the doctrines of religion, as
Webster says. Others may think it the bonds of love or the essential harmony of na—
ture.

Defining faith, though, is not the most important point. What is significant to us
is the reason why we are striving for it. We need it to resolve our constant and seem-
ingly endless doubts, to provide a foundation on which to build our philosophy of life,
and finally we need faith to give us the hope and confidence that we can determine our
own futures as individuals, as Jews, and as members of mankind.

We do have hope and confidence in our futures, perhaps because unknowingly we
do have faith. Our search is neither foolish or fruitless, however, for the harder we
search for faith, the deeper we probe ourselves and others, and the sooner we shall
comprehend that ultimately our future lies in our own hands. Our faith must be in
ourselves and our fellow man.

"THE ROUND—ABOUT WAY"

When God decided to free the child—
ren of Israel, he led them in a circui—
tous route through the desert to the

man will discuss these and similar
questions in a sermon entitled "The
Round—About Way. "

"UNDERSTANDING"

If you come at me with your fists
doubled, I think I can promise you that
mine will double as fast as yours; but
if we differ from one another, under
stand why it is we differ from one an—
other, just what the points at issue are,
we will presently find that we are not
so far apart after all, that the points
on which we differ are few and the points
on which we agree are many and that if
we only have patience and the candor
and the desire to get together, we will
get together.

SAYING FROM THE TALMUD

He who knows that he knows nothing
possesses knowledge indeed.

 

      

    

TEN COMMANDMENTS OF FRIENDSHIP

1. SYMPATHY is the soil in which the seed of friendship grows. Until one can look
upon all his brothers with love and care, he cannot be or become a friend.

2. HONESTY gives friendship its virility. Without it the seed will be sterile and nev—
er bear fruit.

3. HUMILITY is the gentle rain without which the growing plant becomes dry and
brittle. Without an attitude which is both humble and teachable, no friendship can de—
velop and thrive.

4. TOLERANCE: No one of us is perfect, and if we expect perfection in a friend we
shall be disillusioned. Patience is a virtue, and a friend is not easily provoked.

5. CRITICISM of another is essential to a growing friendship and to an honest rela—
tionship. To fail to offer helpful criticism for fear of hurt is to fail to help a friend
to grow. It is like the pruning of the vine that its later growth may be the more luxu—
riant. Never criticize, however, until first you can sympathize.

6. DON'T GOSSIP: The habit of carrying about evil tidings casts a blight upon friend—
ship's flower. Gossip is the grub from which emerges the cutworm of suspicion to
sever the taproot of trust which nourishes friendship's life.

7. BE ON HAND WHEN NEEDED: There are times when every one of us desperately
needs someone to take over for us until we can adjust and compose ourselves. Be on
hand when that moment comes in the life of your friend. He'll never forget it, nor
will you.

8. HAVE A POOR MEMORY FOR WRONGS: Most wrongs are unintentional. Most
slights are fancied. Forget them.

9. HAVE A GOOD MEMORY FOR ANNIVERSARIES: A little appreciation is worth
its weight in gold. It always repays its trouble in a thousand ways. It is, as the poet
said, ”the little nameless unremembered acts of kindness and of love” which make
up "the best portion of a good man's life. "

10. TO MAKE A FRIEND, BE ONE: There are two people in a Temple — one finds
it friendly and the other cold. Each projects his own attitude into the outer situation.
If you want a Temple to be a friendly Temple, be friendly.

BIBLICAL BASES FOR THE FOUR FREEDOMS

I. Freedom From Tyranny: "And he shall. . . proclaim liberty throughout the land un—
to all the inhabitants thereof. " (Leviticus 25:10)

II. Freedom of Religion: "Who shall ascend unto the mountain of the Lord. And who
shall stand in His holy place?
He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart. " (Psalm 24:3, 4)

III. Freedom From Fear and War: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war anymore
But'they shall sit every man under his fig tree;
And none shall make them afraid. " (Micah 3:4)

IV. Freedom From Want: "When thou reapest thy harvest in thy field, and hast forgot
a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go back to fetch it; it shall be for the stranger,
for the fatherless, and for the widow. " (Deuteronomy 24:19)

tions to be presented as a part of the

tral Kentucky Youth Symphony Orchestra.
Bob has been a member of the Youth Or—

For the year 1961-62 he was selected
as Concertmaster for the Kentucky All—
State Orchestra. Having studied compo—
sition and theory with Joseph Beach and
Richard Lane, Bob has devoted most of
his creative efforts to string music and
is for the first time, working with voi—
ces.

volved with its religious, inter—faith and
lecture programs. He is a student at the
Henry Clay High School, a Student Coun—
cil representative, President of the De-
