The MESSAGE
Of Congregation Beth Yeshurun
Published monthly, except during the
period between June 1 and September 1.
DR. DAVID MENDELL
TO OPEN BIBLE CLASS
As a feature of special interest, to
open this year’s Bible Class season, Dr.
David Mendell, one of our distinguish-
ed psychiatrists, and a member of Beth
Yeshurun, will discuss “Psychiatry and
Religion” on Sunday morning, October
26, at 10 a. m. in the Lounge, at the open
ing session of the Adult Bible Class.
Coffee will be served before the session
starts, beginning at 9:45.
The Bible class will meet every Sun-
day from 10 to 11 a.m. in the Lounge
under the leadership of Rabbi Malev,
and it will devote its attention to the
study of the Bible beginning with Chap-
ter 12 of the Book of Genesis. It is
especially intended for parents of chil-
dren who attend our Religious School,
so that they might have an opportunity
to learn something of our Bible, while
their children are in their Religious
School classes. All men and women are
cordially welcome. There is no charge
for tuition and coffee is served before
every session from 9:45 to 10 a.m.

OFFICERS
WHAT'S WHAT
We hope you enjoyed our first col-
umn in last month’s Message and will
become a steady reader of “What’s
What.” It is our desire to acquaint you
with our thoughts and activities within
the office and hope you feel that you
know us better for sharing our observa-
tions . . . First, we want to extend
thanks to you all for the fine spirit you
exhibited in the usual pre-Holiday rush.
When it became our painful duty to
refuse ticket requests and otherwise
seem unaccommodating to you, you
responded for the most part in a truly
gracious manner. We regret having to
refuse so many requests, but it must be1
done, if our members are to have seats
. . . Now that Hebrew School is under
way for the season, we have received
many, many calls from parents desir-
ing to have messages sent to students.
Of course an emergency is an excep-
tion, but please try not to ask us to
deliver messages as our staff is limited;
it is difficult to locate children; and it
does disturb the classes ... We are all
going to miss Max Zelen and his family
when he leaves Houston to become
manager of the Austin branch of John
Hancock Life Insurance Co. A tireless
worker and a boundless contributor to
our Congregational well being, Max
leaves many friends who wish him
much success in his new position . . .
When next you come to the Congrega-
tion, won’t you please observe the “No
Parking” rules in the front driveway
which we are anxious to enforce. It is
too narrow to accommodate cars on
both sides and still permit traffic to
flow into Southmore. There is ample
parking space in the rear of the build-
ing, and both your car and your dis-
position will profit from avoiding traf-
fic tieups that will ensue if this is dis-
regarded . . . Sally Schalit is taking a
short Lvcv’e of absence which will in-
clude her honeymoon following her No-
vember 2nd marriage to Jarrell Bahme.
All good wishes of the entire staff are
with Sally and Jarrell on the approach
of this joyous occasion.

NEW BROADCAST . . .
(Continued from Page 1, Col. 1)
ably be on the air from 9:30 to 10 p.m.
over station KTRH. This is the first
time that such a program is being put
on the air anywhere in this country,
and it is a source of satisfaction to Beth
Yeshurun that its Rabbi has had a hand
in planning it and also is participating
in it.
Everyone is cordially invited and
urged to tune in to this interesting and
novel series.
HOME-BUILDER OF
TOMORROW-
WILL SHE BE READY?
We mean your little daughter.
Of course she is just a child her-
self.
She hasn’t reached her ’teens
yet. But time is fleeting, and soon
this child will be a young woman
undertaking the responsibility of
building a home.
What kind of home will it be?
She will want a Jewish home.
She will want to transmit to her
children the spirit which she as a
little girl found in her parents’
home. Will she know how? Not
unless she is prepared. Not unless
she is given a Jewish education
now.
Sunday School is not enough. In
order to get any kind of adequate
training, your daughter must at-
tend our weekday Hebrew School.
That is the only way that she caji
acquire an elementary knowledge
of Hebrew, as well as the indis-
pensable acquaintance with our
Prayer Book and the service of the
synagogue.
Now, that we have two-day-a-
week classes, there is no excuse
why every girl should not attend
our weekday Hebrew School. Class-
es are held either Monday and
Wednesday or Tuesday and Thurs-
day from 4:20 to 5:10 p.m.
It’s an out-dated idea—this, of
educating our sons, and not our
daughters. We, today, provide our
daughters with general education
to the same degree that we do our
sons. It is just as important to do
that with Jewish education.
For Jewish life centers in the
home. It is the woman who is the
home builder. How will she be able
to create a Jewish home if she is
not prepared?
Have you thought of the prob-
lem in relation to your own daugh-
ter?
Are you enriching her life by
giving her an appreciation of Jew-
ish ideals and Jewish traditions.
Are you educating her so that she
may transmit these ideals to her
children? Your grandchildren!
For more than ever in the past,
it is through our daughters that we
will perpetuate Jewish life.
You can prepare your daughter
by enrolling her in a Jewish school.
There she will learn the ideals and
ideas of the Bible and of Jewish
literature; Hebrew, the sacred
language of the Bible, of the Pray-
er Book, of the Synagogue, of the
new state of Israel; the meaning of
the Sabbath and of Jewish festi-
aals; the religious customs and
practices of the home. She will
learn, too, something of the history
of Jews through the ages, of their
life in many lands, of the place of
Palestine today and its achieve-
ments; and of the contributions
Jews have made to the history and
growth of America.
Give your daughter a Jewish edu-
cation. It will not only enrich her
life, but the lives of her children.
ENROLL HER IN OUR
HEBREW SCHOOL TODAY!
