OUR SUNDAY SCHOOL HONOR ROLL
The following children have been selected as the outstanding students in our Sun-
day School at this mid-year period.
At least five more months of study lies ahead. Those who are not on this
Honor Roll, this week, may still make it by the end of the season, when it will really
count. Those who are on this Roll will have to continue their hard work, until the
end of the season, in order to hold their place among the leaders.
We wish you all every success

DR. LOUIS FINKELSTEIN . . .
(Continued from Page 1, Col. 2)
the Southwest, and he may not be coming
this way again for years. It may be our
only opportunity to meet and to listen to
the world’s leader of traditional Judaism,
who will, at that time, install our Rabbi
into office.
It isn’t easy to evaluate the contribu-
tion which Dr. Finkelstein has made to
Jewish life. He is the head of the most
important institution of higher Jewish
learning in the worid. As part of its
service to Judaism, it includes the largest
Jewish library in the world, the Jewish
Museum which is housed in the former
Felix M. Warburg mansion on 5th Ave.
and 92nd Street in New York City; “The
Eternal Light” radio program which is
listened to by more than thirteen million
people throughout the wirld, in many lan-
guages, among them Hebrew, which is
the medium for it, used in Palestine; the
Institute for Religious Studies, which
transmits the teachings of Judaism to
thousands of non-Jewish clergymen and
scholars in New York, Chicago, Boston
and Los Angeles; the Conference on Sci-
ence; Philosophy and Religion, which is
the only international body of scholars
and clergymen meeting for the purpose
organizing world peace.
These are only a few of the count-
less activities which Dr. Finkelstein leads,
guides and inspires. With all that, he is
a distinguished scholar in his own right,
and has produced some books which are
invaluable contributions to Jewish learn-
ing. How he does all these things and at
the same time finds time to travel, to per-
sonally keep in contact with the students
of the Seminary and the world’s greatest
scholars and teachers, is a mystery that
no one has been able to solve. He is now
reaching out to the Jewish communities
of South America, of the Far East and of
the stricken lands of Europe to give them
the benefit of his leadership and to train
their young people for the Rabbinate in
the Seminary. His heart is as big as the
world, and his mind is attuned to the
great problems that face mankind.
To have such a world personality as
our guest should be an inspiration to
everyone in our community who has the
mind to understand and the heart to ap-
preciate human greatness.
Set aside the evening of January 18
for the greatest occasion in the history of
our Jewish community and do not fail
to be present at the Rice for our Victory
Dinner that evening.
