Some of the attractive young Israelis who will be
participating in the Chassidic Festival.
Coming to
Congregation Beth Yeshurun
Tuesday, November 17 - 7:30 p.m.
Each year for 13 years, Israel has staged a dramatic
competition for the finest music created from Biblical
themes. And each year, we in the United States are
privileged to hear the winning melodies and per-
formers at the Israeli Chassidic Festival.
More than half of these competition .gongs have
made the Israeli Hit Parade. Many of them have be-
come part of our religious services. And on November
17, you’ll have the chance to hear for the first time the
melodies you may be singing for years to come.
So, why not discover this great music together with
your family? You’ll all enjoy two hours of fabulous sing-
ing and dancing performed by Israel’s most delightful
and talented young entertainers. But space is limited,
so act promptly. Get your tickets today for the Israeli
Chassidic Festival... November 17 at Beth Yeshurun!
Tickets available at the Beth Yeshurun School
office, or from the Jewish National Fund, co-sponsors
of this event.
Adults: $7.00. Students and senior adults: $3.50.

RABBI SEGAL’S NEW
BOOK NOW ON SALE
“Modern Problems — Some
Jewish Solutions”
A Compilation of Sermons on
Challenging Issues
Officially, it’s a “textbook” for
the Beth Yeshurun Confirmation
Class. But in reality, it’s a guidebook of modern living for all
Jews, young or old, who are struggling with soul-searching
questions concerning the Holocaust, Judaism vs. Christianity,
Israel vs. the Arabs, sex problems such as premarital sex,
homosexuality and abortion, crime and the death penalty,
intermarriage and assimilation, anti-Semitism, and many
other such timely topics.
The name of this textbook/guidebook is “Modern
Problems — Some Jewish Solutions.” The author is our own
Rabbi Jack Segal. And the book is now available for purchase
at the Rabbi’s office (see Ruth Ozaroff) for $10 per copy.
Basically, the book is a compilation of some 63 of Rabbi
Segal’s finest sermons dealing with the nitty-gritty problems
of everyday life, with issues that are often considered con-
troversial, or even “delicate.” The book, incidentally, will be
used as the text for Rabbi Segal’s 13-week Monday morning
adult education class, “Modern Jewish Problems,” which
begins at the end of January.
Many of the sermons included have been issued as “college
letters” sent out by Rabbi Segal to Jewish students enrolled
in colleges throughout the nation. At present, he sends out
such letters to some 300 students and answers all of their
comments and inquiries personally.
The primary aim of these sermons, insofar as the Con-
firmation Class and college students are concerned, is to give
them “ammunition” when discussing Judaism with their non-
Jewish friends. “To be a survivor in a competitive and
knowledgeable Christian world,” says Rabbi Segal, “it is
essential that our young people know the Jewish point of
view on all contemporary subjects relevant to their lives.
Hopefully, this text will provide sufficient food for thought
to keep young people interested and informed.”
Rabbi Segal’s credentials are impressive. He received a
B.A. from New York University, a B.S. from the University
of Pittsburgh, and an M.A. and M.Ed. from Oregon State
University. In addition, he earned his D.H.L. degree at
Hebrew Union College, and an Ed.D. at the University of
Houston. Ordained at the Mesivta Rabbi Chaim Berlin,
Rabbi Segal assumed the post of Beth Yeshurun’s Senior
Rabbi in 1973, following 8 years as an Associate Rabbi.
Rabbi Segal will be happy to inscribe each copy of his
book with a personal message.
