CHANUKAH CELEBRATION.
Congregation Adath Emeth.
' * An elaborate progfam of the Cha-
nukah celebration was carried out
Sunday evening, Dec. 25th, 1927 at
the Adath Emeth Synagogue, by
Rabbi Abraham Rabinowitz. The
celebration was opened by the presi-
dent of the congregation, Mr. R.
Dow, who introduced the first speak-
er of the evening, Mr. Chas. B. Spi-
ner, a student of the Texas Univer-
sity at Austin, who delivered a very
interesting address.
Then followed the ceremony of the
lighting of the Chanukah candles by
the Rabbi and the Hebrew School
pupils.
The president, Mr. R. Dow, then
expressed the enthusiasm of the con-
gregation on the recent election of
Rabbi Abraham Rabinowitz, to whom
Mr. Dow extended in behalf of the
congregation and himself, their
heartiest congratulations and bless-
ings, and presented the Rabbi with
the contract recently awarded him.
Mr. R. Dow then called on the Rabbi
to make an address.
The Rabbi thanked the president
and the congregation and then chose
to speak on the subject of ‘’Chanu-
kah.” The lecture was delivered in
a very interesting and entertaining
manner and enjoyed by the audience.
The synagogue was decofated for
the occasion with American and Zion
comos

happiness on the merry assembly.
Dr. Schechter acted as toastmas-
ter and with remarks appropriate for
the occasion introduced some of the
officers of the club and of the con-
gregation.
Mr. Ben Susholtz, our president
congratulated the Juniors on their
noble endeavors. He was followed by
our worthy ex-president, Mr. Sol
Gordon, whp created much merri-
ment by his novel suggestions of
“hanging" the president, Miss Rosa
Helen Pomerantz and vice president,
Miss Frieda Stein next to him at the
Institute.
Mrs. Schechter, representing the
ladies present, made a few fitting
remarks. Dr. Schechter then intro-
duced the president of the Juniors,
Miss Rosa H. Pomerantz, praising her
highly for what the Synagogue Jun-
iors have accomplished. She wel-
comed the guests on behalf of the
club and told them a little about the
newly formed organization.
Next to be called on was Miss
Frieda Stein ,vice president, who
lived up to her past records of speech
delivery.
Saul Lieberman made himself
heard and as usual, was not lacking
in timely wit and dumor. He was
followed by Miss Annie Kornblith,
treasurer, who certainly aeserves the
distinction of being the most modest
speaker, since she chose to give the
highest praise to the various officers
of the club, including a rising vote of
thanks to the president.
Other creditable speakers of the
evening were Miss Tilly Pomerantz,
publicity chairman; Miss Sophie Bish-
kin, secretary; Miss Esther Susholtz,
Mr. Dave Feldman and Mr. Clarence
Goldstein.
A few closing remarks by the presi-
dent and the dinner was declared as
ended. The couples. then resumed
dancing and the merry festivities
lasted until the wee hours of the
morning.

THE SYNAGOGUE JUNIOR
DINNER DANCE.
On Thursday evening, Dec. 22, the
Adath Yeshurun Synagogue Juniors
staged their, initial affair, in the
fermofaBimerBance,attheHe-
brew Institute building. This debut
party was indeed an extraordinary
success in view of the fact that this
organization is a mere infant in the
realm of the Jewish clubs in Hous-
ton.
A peppy girls’ orchestra provided
music from the hours of 9 ’till 11
when a grand march led by Dr. and
Mrs. Abraham Schechter proceeded
to the balcony, where a table was
prepared in the daintiest fashion for
35 couples. Place cards of blue and
yellow, carrying out the color scheme

FRITSCH GETS PRISON
SENTENCE FOR BLASPHEMY
Berlin, (J.T.A.)—Theodor Fritsch,
leader of the German anti-Semites,
was sentenced by the Leipsig court
to three days imprisonment and pay
a fine of 300 marks in blasphemy
proceedings brought against him by
the Central Union of German Cit-
izens of the Jewish Faith.
Fritsch wrote in his paper, “Dor
Hammer’ that the God of the Jews is
a God of vengeance who demands
blood. For this reason the Jews
practice the schechita, eating the
meat but leaving the blood to their
God.
The Union also started proceedings
against the student Eberhard Mueller
of Hanover for desecrating the Han-
over synagogue last July. He was
sentenced to three months imprison-
ment. Proceedings were also brought
by the organization against the anti-
Semitic newspaper, "Voelkischer Be-
obachter.” The newspaper-in attack-
ing Rabbi Ksinski, termed him an ex-
ample of Jewish insolence. The
court fined the paper and the au-
thor of the article, Moeller, as well
as the editor, Stolzing, 100 marks
each. The issue containing the ar-
ticle was confiscated,
-----------o-----------
Amounts of $12,500 each were left
to fhr United CharHifs and the Jew-'
ish Charities of Chicago by the will
of the late Jacob H. Frank, which
disposed of an estate of $500,000.

but once in the history of a Con-
gregation, for on# this occasion the
officers, members and friends of the

by more than three hundred persons,

en words welcomed the audience and
explained to them the significance of
the gathering! An address was given
by Rabbi Jacob Geller, who has been
rabbi of the Congregation for the
past eighteen years. A violin solo
was rendered by Master Herman
Shoss, and Mr. H. Wertheimer, organ-
izer, past president, and present gab-
by of the Congregation, gave a brief
resume of the history of the Con-
gregation since its organization a
score of years ago at his home. Greet-

dress on “What Chanukah Teaches,
us.” A vocal solo was rendere by Da-
vid Schickman, and then followed the
burning of the note for which cere-
mony the program of the evening
had been arranged. This was partic-
ipated in by Messrs Mike Maltz, J. M.
Paine, I). Kopernick. M. Weinbaum
and S. Axelrod, while to Rabbi J.

tion by Rabbi Geller, and refresh-
ments were served in Adath Israel

Court room, which was also crowded,
and those assembled within its walls, ;
as well as those outside, applauded I
whenever the state’s attorney scored !
a point. Those outside cheered, ■
shouted and hurrahed, while those'
within the court room evidenced the
feelings by applause and other de-/
monstrations. During his arguments'
and when he made obiections the!
counsel for the*'prisoner was jeered !
by those present.
“After the courts had declined to 1
give relief to Frank an application!
was made to Governor Slater for a
commutation of sentence and after i
an elaborate review of all the evi-
dence that distinguished jurist grant-
ed the application and indicated that
the evidence did not justify th con-
viction, and that, in his opinion,!
Frank was innocent. It was one of
the most courageous acts ever per-
formed by a high official in this
country. He knew that his life and
the lives of his family were imepriled !
if his determination was favorable !
to Frank. A mob of 10,000 men,
marched upon his country home. It i
attacked the troops that were station-, I
ed there for his protection. He was I j
hanged in effigy. And yet, appre-I ।
ciating this menace, he acted in ac-i
cordance with the dictates of his: j ,
conscience. I have it from his own j
lips that, after he had reached thei
conclusion that Frank was innocent, |
hr felt it his duty te tell }is nohle -
wife of what he had in mind and of j
the jeopardy in which he Would place i
"Kis family by acting in m t oi dance ;
with his convictions, and that she de-
clared that if that was his belief she
would despise him if he hesitated
in the performance of his duty. Today
he stands as one of the most re- '
. spected men in the South because of;
his courage and his manhood. And 1
yet, Mr. Stoneman is seeking to cast
a slur upon this 'man who has reflect-1
ed glory upon Georgia, and to inti-1
mate that he was swayed by improper ।
motives. He charges that. a large [
fund was raised in the country for!
Frank. There is no foundation in !
fact for such a statement. As one
of his counsel I can say that even
the ordinary expenses of that part of
the litigation in which I was engaged
were paid out of my own pocket, and
that I never received or charged a
penny for my services regarding it to
be my solemn obligation as a citi-
zen to defend the laws of my country
and the cause of justice,” Mr. Mar-
shall concludes.
