theme

Within the past months there have
been discussions at a number of meet-
ings about the prayer book — to keep it
or discard it, to rewrite it or rein—
terpret it. Before we can begin to con-
sider such an important matter, we need
to consider a bit of origin and his~
tory. This will be the first in a
series of sermons dealing with our Jew-
ish liturgy.

Furthermore, as I well realize, I also spoke as a rabbi, as rabbi of this
congregation - even if this identification was not openly stated at the time.
And here too I feel a responsibility to let my voice be heard - because Temple
Adath Israel is a religious institution in our community, an institution that
stands for integrity, honesty, reverence for human dignity - and when these
qualities are in jeopardy, then I feel a responsibility to be not silent, but to
point out the short comings - not Just from the pulpit (where all too few may
hear) but in public - where the voice of prophet protest may be more widely

The Following Editorial was in the Som—
erset, Ky. newspaper and we reprint it

in our Temple Bulletin in honor of the

late Abe Goldenberg.

EPITOMY OF AMERICANISM

Pulaski County lost one of its
most prominent and respected business-
men last week with the sudden death of

Abe Goldenberg,

The story of his life is the epit-
omy of Americanasm. He came to Somer—
set some 61 years ago without money,
without a family and without a business.

He was blessed with courage, deter-
mination and above all, a deep sense of
love and respect for his country. .He
first sold used furniture and his busi—
ness was so successful that he was able
to open a small store on West Mt. Vere
non Street. A small, hand—painted sign
hung over the doorway. It bore his
name, ”Goldenberg's.'I And right over
the top of it flew the American flag.

In the morning he raised the flag. In
the evening he took it down. Always
with pride and respect for his country.
Patriotism was a part of Abe Goldenberg.

Four “ears after he came to Somer~
set he went to Cincinnati where he
found and married the woman who liter—
ally became his partner in life. To—
gether they worked hard, saved every
penny they could, yet both contributed
freely and generously with their time
and money to make Somerset and Pulaski
County a better place in which to live.

Goldenberg Furniture Store grew
until it is now considered the largest
furniture and appliance store in South
Central Kentucky. Abe Goldenberg was a
prosperous businessman, but he consid—
ered his family his greatest wealth —
his wife, his son and his son's family.

Pulaski County will miss Abe Gol—

denberg America will miss him, for he
was truly an American.

Rabbi‘s Aessege

At a recent meeting of our Reiigious School teachers, at which we discussed
classroom procedure, methods of presentation, end moterial to be covered, I was
Just delighted with the enthusiasm and interest which I found. I had intended
for the meeting to lest for only a short while, and yet there was no indication
by the teachers that they wanted to conclude our session when I thought the time
was up. So we stayed and continued to probe the problems before us.

 

This kind of attitude among our staff is most heartwarming. They want to
be as well equipped end prepared to teach your children as possible. They What
to understand so that the; may convey this understanding to others.

However, as I consider this process, 1 find that frequently we are stymied
because of parental attitude. The interests generated in our Religious School
children need the support of their parents at home. The ceremonies, the atti-
tudes, the insights of Judaism need to be precticed and encouraged at home.

Reiigious education cannot be accomplished only in Religious School. It
has to be part of the Jewish home too. I hope that you will continue to support
us in our efforts by providing positive Jewish homes in which your children will
be able to see a connection between what we teach as Jewish and what you do as
Jewish.

-_?The
Sabbath
Ghana

The subject of religion in our Pub—
lic Schools has been in the news recent-
ly. The Supreme Court ruled against vol-
untary prayers in the schools and Mr.
Dirksen has announced that he will make
an effort to have legislation negating
the Supreme Court's decision. What sort
of answer can be given by those who are
concerned for the religious life of our
children but who do not believe that the
public school has a place in this pic—
ture; what sort of answer can be given
that is indicative of a positive com-
mitment?

 

 

 

NEXT SABBATH -

At our Sabbath Worship on Feb—
ruary hth, Dr. Charles Schwartz and

cussion will follow their remarks.

Rabbi’s Message

This past Friday I concluded a series of three sermons dealing with our
prayer book, giving a bit of its history, the organization of the prayer book

and finally a critique of its contexts.

In the last sermon I considered some of the shortcomings when we confront

prayers.

I had this sermon memeographed and sent to the members of the Worship

Committee so that they might consider it at their meeting this week.

Some of them are seldom

    

Admittedly I did this as a challenge to them.
seen in our sanctuary on Friday evenings. Others are regular attenders. But
these are the persons whom the congregation has charged with the responsibility
of our worship routines. Therefore I consider it only proper that they be the
ones to give the most serious consideration to my words of critique; that they
be the ones who give the first thought to changes which might occur, that they
be the ones who discuss the place of worship in our congregation.

Look in your year book and see who the members of the Worship Committee
are. And ask them what they are doing as members of this committee.

Rabbi

Religion and Conduct

Religion is not so much knowledge
of God as godly living. What distin-
guishes a religion from a system of
science or philosophy is its concern
with man's behavior. Theories of real-
ity are vital to it only to the degree
to which they help transform‘the‘lives
of men and to affect.their conduct.....
Unless religion affects human life
and conducta it is of small worth.l
