To the above, I received the fol-
lowing reply: “Friend ‘Who’s Who
and How’: I enjoy reading your col-
umn in the Herald, but I am sorry I
have a complaint to register. Don't
know whether it will have any effect
or not, but I must get this off my
mind. In voicing this opinion I
think I am expressing the sentiments
of quite a few. Noticed last week in
the Y. H. A. news that the TEAM
needs the whole hearted support of
the Jewish boys and girls. The IKX-
YMHA team has loyal boosters. It’s
the same gang that has been cheer-
ing for them for the last three years.
The trouble this season is the TEAM.
They enter a game with an ‘I don’t
care whether we win or not’ attitude.
Naturally they do not put forth their
best efforts and lose the game
through sheer negligence. This is
what happened when they played the

AMOS CLUB
With three more games to finish
the season, the Amos and Shamrock
clubs are still battling hard for pos-
session of first place in the Frat
league. The Levon and Sigma Beta
clubs, two of the three Jewish teams
in the League lost out in the lead
for first place, leaving the Amos club
to take the raee for the pennant on
the Jewish side. In the game be-
tween the Chronicle and Amos last
Thursday hlg'Til. 1 he Amos had an Un-
usually hard evening in gaining a
19 to 15 triumph .over the Chronicle.
Members of the Amos and A. B. C.
clubs are planning an outing Tues-
day, February 28,7:30 p. m. at Park
Place for the Amos basketball team.
Next meeting will be held at the
home of Harry Kaplan, 2515 Ann

ALPHA KAPPA PHI NEWS
Tickets were distributed among
the members of the Alpha Kappa Phi
at the last meeting and some of them
are out to make a record as far as
selling is concerned. As an after-
math to the dance a banquet will be
held at the Bluebell Inn and members
of the winning ticket selling .team
will be feted by the losers: Also
the member selling the most tickets
will be suitably rewarded for his
efforts. The charity ball will be
held in the Abe M. Levy Memorial
Hall on the evening of March 27th,
1928, and dancing will begin at 9 p.
m. The best music in the city is
being arranged for and all those that
have already purchased tickets are
exuberant over the good time that is
in store for them. We hope to have
at this dance Mr. A. B. Cohn, our
executive chairman, that he may
elucidate the great purpose of our
past and future charity balls. Now
it is our best advice that you all
make your dates early and expect to
attend one of the best dances given
by any local organization.

Houston, Texas
“Religion is the inborn desire of
■»» to-knew Goa and His wifi in
order to worship Him.”. This I re-
member was the first definition in
Judaism I learned in studying for
confirmation, and as it depicts the
inquiring mind which certainly the
child possesses to the greatest de-
gree, and since all of us are ulti-
mately interested in the mind of
the child ( I thought it a fitting way
to approach the subject of my pa-

Religious training in the home!
The home! The Jewish home! The
world has conceded that the Jew-
ish home is the happiest. (While
we all know there are exceptions
we are concerned only with the
rule.) The phrase “a Jewish home”
unconsciously presents to our mind
a shrine of domestic peace. “The
home,” as Samuel Smiles so aptly
describes, “is the sanctuary for the
heart, a refuge from storms, a
sweet resting, place after labor, a
consolation in sorrow, a pride in
success, and a joy at all times.”
And to this picturization, let us add
the child, who brings it happiness.
In Morris Joseph we read, “To
the parents are given human souls
in trust for the Supreme, and those
souls He has to save, as far as in
Him lies, from the defiling touch
of sin. Nay, the parent, to use
the rabbinic idea, stands towards
his children almost in the place of
God. Ie has to be a law unto
them, to distinguish for them be-
tween good and evil, in a large
measure to fashion their fate. How
anxiously, then, will he scrutinize
his methods of training! And, since
example is mightier than precept,
how careful will he be to keep his
own life pure.”
Judaism in the home suggests the
contrast of Judaism in the temple.
The Jewish home becomes a temple
at a moment’s notice, with the re-
quired quorum at hand a divine serv-
Budapest, (J.T.A.)—A deputation

Rabbi Spiegel, who addressed the
Cardinal in Hebrew, declared that his
prqtkeessorj Cardinal—€+e-eeh,hnt
been beloved by the Jews, who
mourned his death. They hoped for
similar friendly relations with the
new Cardinal, the Rabbi declared.
Cardinal Seredi in reply declared
“We must all work together for the
welfare of the fatherland; none
should be excluded. So far as my
powers permit, I shall never allow
such exclusion.”

Vienna, (J.T.A.)—Nahida Remy
Lazarus, well known German author-
ess who embraced Judaism, died at
Meran, Tyrol, at the age of 79.
Nahida Sturmhoefel was a de-

Max Remy', after whose death she
embraced Judaism and married Pro-
fessor Moritz Lazarus, German Jew-
ish philosopher, in 1895 She then
changed her name to Naomi* Ruth,
continuing to write under the name
Nahida Remy.
The author of many essays and
novels and a prolific contributor to
contemporary German magazines, she
had devoted her lite to the study of
Judaism prior to her embracing the
Jewish faith and her marriage to
Professor Lazarus.
Among her best novels are the Si-
cilian novels, published in 1885. “The
Charm of iLove,” a play, “Secret

Judaism has ever sought to hal-
low the home, to make it a shrine
at which the parents minister to the
children. Prayer has been the li-
cense, and love the sacrifice. All
the chief virtues of the Jewish char-
acter have had the home with its
mighty incentive and its hallowed as-
sociations for their nursing place.
The bulk of Judaism’s observances
require fulfillment in the home. And
it is in the atmosphere of these ob-
servances that the tender years of a
child’s life should be steeped, not
under tyrannical rule, for under such
circumstances too often then the
pendulum swings in the opposite di-
rection, but under loving guidance.
No teacher can rival the mother in
the power of molding the character
of her child.
I wonder if, indeed, religious train-
ing in the home is a supplementary
aid? Or, is not the training in the
Sunday school and in the home syn-
onymous, if finally the desired goal
is to obtain?
The home is the nursery of all
the virtues. The fundamental reli-
gious training which the child re-
ceives in the Sunday school, begin-
ning, as the mystery of life is un-
folded to him, with the story of
creation, and on down, are but the
stepping stones to that real spirit-
ual life which he is to attain in
later years. Here, step by step,
the beauty and the glory of his faith
are brought to him, and the stories of
his forefathers are taught to impress
him toward spiritual idealism. And in
the synagogue, with its traditional
music and ceremonials, its holy at-
mosphere, he hears the rabbi pro-
pounding some moral lesson and in-
structing him that he should observe
the sabbath and the holy days. But
all of these must be exemplified with-
in .the home. If his faith in God is
to remain steadfastly with him; if

meets the need of the Jew of today.
Life is constantly changing, but life
and Judaism are commensurate; as
life changes, Judaism changes. And
if oyr rabbis have anticipated this
modification of certain customs for
us, surely the least the parents can
do is send their children to temple
on such days as these, so that they
may realize and understand the his-
tory and customs of the religion that
is so vital to them. “He,” say the
rabbis; "who denies a child religious
knowledge robs him of his inheri-
tance.”.
Now the question is, how can we
get this co-operation of the home
with the Sunday school, these Jew-
ish homes that think it ultra smart
to banish every religious custom and
observance?
The following letter, with neces-
sary modifications in each case, wqs
sent by the Beth Israel Religious
School of Houstono the parents of
all children enrolled and was produc-
tive of worth-while results: ?
"Dear Mrs.. Cohen:
From our religious school records
we find Samuel in grade 2B, Miss
Levy teacher.
We are hoping each year to bet-
ter our school and with a continu-
ation of the splendid cooperation
you have extended to us in the
past we hope to make still further
progress. We, teachers and par-
ents, realize since the religious
school has the children for only two
hours a week, how necessary it is
for the child to have that help in
the home, both spiritually and intel-
lectually, which you are so fitted to
give. We appreciate the assistance
you give in helping in the prepara-
tion of the lesson. We are planning
to have the children taught to memo-
rize a night and morning prayer,
and also a verse to t se for “grace”
at meals. We would like you to have
an idea of the enthusiasm displayed
by the children in the announcement
made of the disposition of the small
donation they make to charity on
each Synday morning. We want you
to know that favorable comment has
been made by public school teachers
upon your children’s attitude towards
their faith, evidenced by their at-
tendance at .services on the holy days
and festivals rather than attending
public school. We hpe to make an
even better showing in this regard
in the future. We hope you will
visit the school during the coming
terms of 1927-28.
Again we thank you for the splen-
did co-operation, of the past and
know we can depend upon you.
Sincerely,
bright and active, their souls pure
and clean. It served as an intellect-
ual bond to unite their remote and
scattered forces. It produced the
highest kind oF intellectual life that
raised them far above the ignorant
communities that surrounded them.
That the study of the law not only
helped the Jews, it was of inestim-
able advantage to human progress.
Thus far I have intimated what
the Torah has been to Israel in the
past. What is the Torah to the Jews
of modern times? Has it become use-
less and antiquated and only of his-
torical value?
The answer must be emphatically
no. It’s ten words will stand for
eternity. Nowhere do we find the
highest virtues extolled in such a
beautiful manner. Thou shall love
thy neighbor as thyself, sounds as
forcefully today as it did four thous-
and years ago; do justice to the wid-
ow, protect the fatherless, cease to
do evil, learg to do well, this Isaiah’s
great- demand has lost none of its
potency; seek the good and not evil
that ye may live wins assent from
our age today even though it was
uttered in Samaria twenty-six hun-
dred years ago by fiery tongued
Amos; what is hateful unto thee,
thou shalt not do to another is as

Borschow played one year at Rice

We should like to see him perform

L
By Rabbi Samuel Marks
Toroh tsivo lonu Mosheh, Morosho
Kehillas yaakov.
“The Torah which God gave
through Moses is the heritage of the
congregation of Israel.” (Ritual,
reading of Scripture.)
---It was the Torah, law—that made
a people out of the ancient Jews.
Whatever they'were in early times
was by virtue of this book. For it
contains the conditions sine qua non
of civilized social life. These con-
ditions which the Jews formulated so
long ago hold good to the present
day and will probably continue in all
future.
The law was their everything, their
all in all. It was the sun which gave
them life and warmth.
After the capture of Jerusalem by
the Romans and the dispersion of the
Jews to the four corners of the globe
it was the law again that kept them
intact, despite the loss of national-
ity. It was the rampart, the forti-
fication behind which the Jews shield-
ed themselves when assailed by hat-
red and persecution. They- found a
spiritual delight in it, which fully
compensated them for the pleasures
that the outside world denied them.
They turned to the welcome pages
of the Torah and found therein so-
lace and counsel, edification and
happiness.
It was the Torah that prevented
them from stagnating. It saved them
from the moral corruption that comes
from the degraded and despised, from
succumbing to the depth of the lone-
ly and forsaken. It kept their minds
attention as strongly now as ever
from the day when the Psalmist ut-
tered this wise word.. And so I could
pile maxim upon maxim and moral
precept upon precept.
With ali the seeming changes, the
really essential qualities that are the
most of life and the great things of
life, are the same old truths that re-
1 ligion has taught throughout the cen-
turies, the same great entities that
God has engraved forever in the heart
of mankind.
Every new system has its votaries,
every new issue its adherents, every
new doxy its follov}ers, but they
sink into the ocean of time and are
forgotten while God’s truth shines
forever on the firmament of eterni-
ty.
The Bible has been the source of
light for the higher life of the na-
tions. It is a storehouse of rich hu-
man history, a graphic account of
the moral development of the home
and of the state. ‘ It is invaluable,
there isspothing to take its place.
He is the best preacher who can
best conserve the message of these
old prophets and fit it into our twenti-
eth century life. In appreciation,
cultivation and fulfillment of them,
we must build upon what the pro-
phets and thinkers, the teachers, and
I philosophers, the men of light of all
times past, have preached and sung,
have taught and reasoned, have spok-
en and acted.
