Rabbi Henry J. Horowitz, who
has occupied Texas pulpits for
twenty years and recently of
Pensacola, Florida, has returned
to Houston where he intends to
make his home. In his years of
service to his communities, he
has not only distinguished himself
for his leadership, but particul-
arly for his writings. Having
published two volumes of Jew-
ish plays and dramatic sketches,
he is now completing a compila-
tion of his poems, the graceful
flow of which have made them
popular readings.
Versatility seems to run in his
family from the occupations and
hobbies of his seven children, and
to be with them, Mrs. Horowitz
and he have decided to make
Houston their permanent home,
for writing, speech making,
dramatics, and leadership in civic
organizations have engrossed the
activities of all their children.

BETH ISRAEL SUNDAY
SCHOOL PURIM FESTIVAL
On Sunday afteroon, March 24,
at the Levy Memorial Hall, the
Sunday School pupils of Temple
Beth Israel presented a puppet
play “Queen Esther,” which pro-
ved to be very enjoyable to the
children and grownups alike. The
play was followed by a dog act;
the parade of children in costume;
and a Purim song by the children
of the Primary Department.
The puppets were designed and
made by children of the Sunday
School under the direction of
Mrs. Louis Franklin and Mrs.
Louis Liedecker, who are spon-
sors of a new group interested in
the designing and making of pup-
pets. All children desirous of
joining this group, are asked to
get in touch with Mrs. Franklin
or Mrs. Liedeker.
The program was sponsored by
the Beth Israel P. T. A, of which
Mrs. Ed Lipson is chairman.
Of especial interest is the fact
that the Temple Beth Israel Pup-
pet Club has been asked to take
part in the Houston Public Li-
brary’s “Puppet Parade”—an ex-
hibit of puppets being loaned the
Library by the various organiza-
tions in the city. The puppets
will be on exhibit at the Library
for three weeks, beginning March
27. The Temple Beth Israel
Puppet Club will exhibit the
“Queen Esther” play characters,
their’s being the only biblical
characters of a church group to
be exhibited.
