BALLOT RECOMMENDATIONS San Diego Jewish World endorsement

Barack Obama for President

SAN DIEGO—Two sets of concerns in particular motivate this Jewish publication when it comes to making endorsements in federal races, whether they be for executive or congressional office.  These are the issues of Israel and of American multiculturalism.  In a sense, the two topics are related, in that both concern the survival of the Jewish people as a people.

Israel is our gateway question. If a candidate does not support Israel, or is indeed hostile to it, then we cannot support that candidate, no matter how much we agree with the candidate’s positions on respecting and preserving cultural and religious diversity in America.  On the other hand, if the candidate is indeed supportive of Israel, we next examine his or her stands on American diversity.

In the current election for President, we are convinced that both John McCain and Barack Obama have been friends of Israel and would continue to be so as America’s chief executive.  McCain and his running mate Sarah Palin are more vociferous in their support for Israel in the face of Iran’s threats— declaring in debates, for example, that there cannot be a second Holocaust. However, Obama and his running mate Joe Biden have in a quieter fashion pledged support for Israel and, like McCain, possess U.S. Senate voting records proving they have been true to their word in the past.

Although there has been a concerted effort by some members of our community to spread doubt about Obama’s reliability and intentions, most of them boil down to guilt-by-association allegations that simply do not square with Obama’s voting record, nor with the testimonials of other senators and political figures whose friendship for Israel goes unquestioned. 

With both Obama and McCain able to pass through the pro-Israel gateway, we turn next to a consideration of how committed either of them would be to the preservation of cultural diversity within the United States.

Both tickets have shown admirable movement toward the ideal of diversity with voters offered the historic choice of picking, in Obama, the first African-American U.S. President, or in Palin, the first woman vice president.  We welcome the politics of inclusion and are delighted that both parties are committed to eliminating electoral barriers based on either race or gender.

We are troubled by McCain’s comment that America is a “Christian country,” and by his support for politically conservative judges such as Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Samuel Alito.  The court now seems to be divided 4-4 between liberals and conservatives with the swing vote on social issues typically provided by Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy.  With Associate Justice John Paul Stevens now 88, his retirement appears likely, meaning the next president probably will get to appoint his successor.  And Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, another of the more progressive judges, is the second oldest member of the court at age 75.   Without Stevens and Ginsburg, we’re concerned lest the High Court move even closer towards the doctrines of the Christian Right against such issues as abortion rights and the doctrine of separation of church and state. So we see cultural and religious diversity possibly contracting under a McCain-Palin administration.

On the other hand, we believe that under Obama and Biden cultural and religious diversity will expand.  In Obama we see a man born of a Black father from Kenya and a White mother from the United States, who has sought throughout his life to bring the separate worlds of his parents into greater harmony.  Absolutely a brilliant person—as he proved when he was elected as the first Black president of the Harvard Law Review—Obama has and will continue to re-inspire Americans toward the ideals of justice and equality so needed in a diverse, multicultural society. He will seek to reconcile peoples of different persuasions rather than to exploit their divisions.  At the same time, we believe, Obama will once again symbolize to the world the promise and the hopes of the American political system. 

We urge the election of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States of America.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR


Readers offer their views on election

—78th Assembly District

Editor, San Diego Jewish World:

I agree with you that Marty (Block) is a fine individual who has worked hard and long.

On the other hand, you should be aware that his TV commercials are actually dangerous demagoguery: The only defense that public pension funds have of their ability to meet promises is their prudent investments (the prudency of their promises and financing already being undermined by union-politicos collaboration). Using them as social activist funds undermines that further.

This is beneath Marty, and I am really surprised at his tack in the TV commercials being so irresponsible.

But, Marty is an extremely liberal person, and this smacks of the protectionist motif that is spreading in the Dem Party, reminiscent of the '20's that fed the Great Depression.

—California Proposition 8

Editor, San Diego Jewish World

In June of 2008, California joined Massachusetts and became the second state to allow same sex couples to marry. This became one of the biggest turning points in history. Right now, however
Proposition 8 is on the November ballot and if it passes will take away this fundamental right. We must look at the real facts to determine the right decision.

The biggest scare tactic is that children will be forced to learn about same sex marriage. This is not true because unlike in Massachusetts, parents in California must grant permission for their children to be involved in sex education. Another scare tactic is that churches will lose their rights if Proposition 8 does not pass. This is not true because theSupreme Court decision regarding same sex marriage specifically says that religions will not be required to change their practices or policies involving the case of same sex marriage and that religious officiates will not be required to honor a marriage that opposes his or her religious beliefs. Supporters of Proposition 8 are also angry that the Supreme Court made the decision without leaving the decision up to the people. The real fact is that judges did not specifically grant this right to same sex couples, but the United States Constitution grants
equality for all people.

We must not just believe scare tactics, but look into the real facts and vote NO on Proposition 8.

WAR AND LORE

Tunisia's great Sukkot legal battle
 
By Isaac Yetiv, Ph.D.
 
LA JOLLA, California—The horse-drawn cart stopped at our door; I quickly jumped on the horse and took my seat behind Grandpa Isaac,  my namesake --in our Jewish community in Northern Tunisia, it  was allowed, even expected, to name a child after a living  grandparent – although everybody called him By-Sh'hagu, a respectful appellation meaning "our good father Isaac."

By-Sh'hagu devoted half his time to mitzvoth; he helped the widows and orphans, he married off  the poor girls, he provided shelters for the poor travelers, he was the shamash of the synagogue...but his main  "occupation" was as Head of hevra kadisha, the  Jewish Burial Society. He called it a "pure mitzvah", hesed ve-emet, since one can expect no compensation coming from the dead. By-Sh'hagu's service to the dead was, of course, not remunerated. He made a living selling  manufactured merchandise to the Arab villages in the area and buying from them agricultural products like honey before Rosh Hashana--he provided most of the honey consumed by the  local Jewish community in town--, wax from the hives, spices  and condiments , olives and olive oil and other stuff.

As a child, I liked to accompany him in some of his commercial expeditions, but what I never missed was the trip to buy the jereed, those long palm branches with shiny green leaves used by the Jews to adorn the sukkah. And that was where we were heading that day. The trip took about two hours. We were welcomed by Sheikh Mansoor who ordered his servant to bring us tea and fruit, and then engaged my grandfather in a game of riddles followed by holy conversation about the similarities between Judaism and Islam. My grandfather pronounced the berakha, the blessing, before he consumed the tea and the fruit, and the sheikh said "amen." Meantime, two young men silently unloaded the merchandise we brought with us and replaced it with freshly -cut beautiful palm branches that spread a wonderful aroma. A few short reckonings, some money exchanged salutations and blessings and we were back on our way. Now came the delivery stage in which I had some role to play. By-Sh'hagu gave me a list of customers and the number of branches ordered and I had to plan our itinerary in the most efficient way. My prize was a good pound of couer de palme, that succulent heart of the palm-tree, a delicacy of which I was so fond (and remain to this day), and a tip from the wealthiest customers.

Monsieur Ben-David's house was the first on my list. We unloaded 20 palm branches for his sukkah which was immense, splendidly decorated and sumptuously adorned with lights and colors, and paintings, as it had been for years. But that year, there was a fly in the ointment: when the sukkah was erected, a multitude of visitors invaded the place to wonder at this marvel and their agitation and loud comments did not please the new neighbor, Monsieur Dupont. He was a French Catholic newly-arrived in town to serve in the colonial administration--Tunisia was then a French protectorate--and had never seen such a huge "hut" adjoining a beautiful villa. He knew only that it barred the sunlight and the gentle breeze from reaching his house and that the constant va-et-vient (coming and going) deprived him of his right to quiet enjoyment of his property. And such was the language of his complaint to the French authorities to which he petitioned to order the dismantlement of this horrible eyesore. Due to the importance of the plaintiff, the Clerk of Courts scheduled a hearing for the next day which was Erev Sukkot, the eve of Sukkot. The courtroom was packed with Jews. By-Sh'hagu was there too. It was a sensational event, unheard of in this country of relatively high level of religious tolerance. The French judge patiently heard the arrogant fulminations of Monsieur Dupont who extolled the virtues of individual rights and liberties, and the defense of Monsieur Ben-David who invoked his religious obligations. Then he delivered his verdict: "I heard both sides," he said, "and I considered their merits. Monsieur Ben-David, I hereby order you to dismantle that thing, and you have 8 days to do so, counting from tomorrow.  If it is still standing after 8 days, it will be destroyed, and you will be fined and jailed."

Monsieur Dupont cried victory and kissed his wife. The Jews kept silent in court, but once they were out of sight, they thanked the Heavens for this new miracle from God who inspired the judge to act as he did; they knew of course, what the plaintiff didn't, that the festival of the Tabernacles lasted no more than eight days, and they rejoiced all the way to their homes.

Then came Simhat Torah! In the synagogue, the crowd was dancing with Sifrei Torah and chanting "Simhu vasimhu,  simhat torah!" when a stranger entered, accompanied by  a small boy. The dancers, most of whom had attended the court case, stopped in their tracks; they were stunned.  "Mais c'est Monsieur le Juge!" (But it is the Honorable Judge!), exclaimed Monsieur Ben-David. And then By-Sh'hagu, as one of the Elders, gave the judge his own sefer torah, put one hand on the judge's  head and the other hand on his son's, and intoned the  benediction Yevarekhkha adonai veyeshmerekha..., May God bless you and keep you safe...The people  understood that the "miracle" was a good Jew  recently arrived from France.

Epilogue: Tunisia obtained its independence from France in 1956. Most of the Jews left for France and Israel; among them was the judge who became a V.I.P. in France. By-Sh'hagu retired after 60 years of service as head of Hevra Kadisha and, with the establishment of Israel, he could realize his
dream of being buried in Eretz Hakodesh, the Holy Land, in one of four holy places (Jerusalem, Tsfat, Tiberias, and Hebron) where, he often told me, his body would not be eaten by the worms but would remain intact to meet his Maker. At the age of 98, accompanied by his second wife, and armed with tefilat haderekh, the prayer for safe travel, he embarked in his long journey, by road from his
 town to the harbor, then by ship to Marseilles, France, and another ship to Haifa.

Grandpa died in my arms in Tsfat, the holy city of the Kabbalists, at the ripe age of 102. Among his instructions to me, he asked that no crying but the chanting of Bar Yohay should accompany him to his last abode. (Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohay, the founder of the Kabbalah and author of the ZOHAR, the book of its occult teachings, is buried in Meron, near Tsfat, where he lived with his son Rabbi Elazar in a cave to hide from the Romans; a beautiful poem in his name is chanted in joyous occasions in many Jewish communities).The funeral procession filled the streets of Tsfat; thousands came to pay their respect to
 this TSADDIK. From the balcony of the Health Ministry, the young official who issued the death certificate contemplated the cortege and hummed the well-known melody of Bar Yohay.  Shoshana Reuveni was her name; she was a native of Tsfat.  She couldn't know then that the 23-year- old high school teacher leading the procession, the writer of these lines, would one day become her husband.

JERUSALEM DIARIES


How you know its Sukkot in Jerusalem


By Judy Lash Balint


JERUSALEM—Back by popular demand--the annual (updated) Sukkot list:

1. The clang of metal poles and the sounds of hammering are practically constant as Jerusalem's apartment dwellers hurry to erect their sukkot and squeeze them into small balconies, odd-shaped gardens and otherwise derelict rooftops.

2. The tourists have landed! Overwhelmingly religious English and French speaking, they jam the city's take-out places and restaurants, and may be seen in packs wandering up and down Emek Refaim and the new Mamilla mall talking to their friends at top volume on their cell phones.

3. Almost every non-profit group worth its salt has scheduled a fund-raising and/or familiarization event for the days of Chol Hamoed Sukkot, aimed at capturing the attention of the wealthy temporary Jerusalem residents.

4. Real estate agents are taking a deep breath before their busiest week of the year as they prepare to pitch their over-priced wares to eager foreign buyers. Each of the many luxury residential building projects around town managed to put up billboards depicting the completed construction and inviting prospective buyers in for a tour of an unfinished building site.

5. You can't get on a bus without being poked in the rear a dozen times with someone's stray lulav.

6. The sweet smell of etrogim in Jerusalem's Machane Yehuda (Yehuda Market) is overpowering. Huge crowds descend on a lot on Jaffa Road neae the market to vie for the best lulav and etrog.

7. One enterprising bookstore is offering "Machzor rentals" for tourists who inadvertently left their holiday prayerbooks at home.

8. You've never seen such gaudy sukkah decorations in your life---unless you've been to Wal Mart on Christmas eve. Kiosks manned by bearded Haredim in Meah Shearim are selling gold, green and red tinsel hangings---exact replicas of Christmas decorations in the Old Country.

9. Huge piles of schach (palm fronds for the roof of the sukkah) cover major city squares, and citizens are invited to take as much as they need for free.

10. The usual throngs of traditional Jews are expected at the Western Wall for the thrice-yearly observance of the ancient ritual of Birkat Cohanim--Blessing by the Priests--that takes place during the intermediate days of Sukkot. This year,on the same day as Birkat Cohanim (Thursday) we have the added ceremony of Hakel--the national gathering that takes place on the Sukkot following a Shmitta or sabbatical year.

11. Like Christmas tree lots back in the US, empty city lots all over Jerusalem are taken over to sell sukkot of every size and description. Some are marketed by large companies and feature the latest space-saving technology and hardiest material, while others are simpler affairs made of tubular piping and plastic walls.. Every kosher restaurant in town has a sukka of some kind and each boasts bigger and better holiday specials to entice customers.

12. Since the entire week of Sukkot is a national holiday you'll have a tough time deciding which festival/event to take part in. There's the New Age Bereishit Festival at Dugit beach; The Tamar music and arts fest at Ein Gedi; Rishon L'Tzion's Song Festival and a Storytellers Festival in Givatayim, to name just a few. One annual event that won't be taking place this year is Acco's acclaimed Fringe Theater Festival--too much real live drama between Jews and Arabs going on at the moment. The festival has been indefinitely postponed.

13. Touring the country is another favorite Sukkot activity and every political group is promoting trips to "See For Yourself." Hevron is a perennial favorite for Chol Hamoed (intermediate festival days) with a special opening of the Isaac Hall in the Cave of the Patriarchs that's normally off-limits to Jewish visitors. The far left organization Ir Amim funded by the European Union and the Ford Foundation, offers to take visitors to see their version of Jerusalem.

14. Not to be left out are those Christian friends of Israel--the International Christian Embassy of Jerusalem will bring 6,000 members from 80 nations to attend their annual Feast of Tabernacles celebration.

The Christian contingent dressed in costume of their countries of origin will also take part in another annual Sukkot event, the Jerusalem March, where tens of thousands proudly march through several routes of the capital.

Organizers claim that the Christian event will pump $10 million into the local economy, taking up 15,000 hotel room nights during their stay. Not everyone is happy about the Feast, however. Last year, Israel's Chief Rabbinate's Committee for the Prevention of the Spread of Missionary Work in the Holy Land issued a ruling forbidding Jews from participating in the Jerusalem march organized by the International Christian Embassy for Jerusalem.

The committee wrote in its decision, endorsed by both chief rabbis,that Halacha forbids Jews to participate in any of the gatherings at the city's International Convention Center, as well as the annual march through the streets of Jerusalem. Reaction from all quarters has been fast and furious…

15. Another prominent group of tourists set to arrive are refugees from the young frum singles scene who make an annual migration to Jerusalem from the Upper West Side for Sukkot. Discreet meetings of earnest, well-scrubbed, modestly dressed twenty-somethings take place in all the major hotel lobbies.

16. And speaking of refugees--spare a thought for those 1,700 families expelled from their homes in Gush Katif in August 2005. More than three years on and hardly any of them are living in permanent housing. More than 1,000 former Gush Katif residents are still unemployed. Several have died at a young ages and many couples have divorced due to the economic and social pressure and the uncertain future they face. Neither they nor the Israelis in and around Sderot who live under the threat of Hamas shelling will need to be reminded of one of the essential messages of the Sukkot holiday--the flimsiness of our physical existence and our reliance on God for sustenance and shelter.

Moadim L'simcha--chag sameach from Jerusalem.

REFLECTIONS

Important Jewish history occurred
between the birth of Jesus and the Shoah

By Sheila Orysiek

SAN DIEGO—Recently I was watching a DVD - “Kingdom of David” - borrowed from the San Diego Public Library.  It was fairly well done, interesting, but as often seems the case the recounting of early Jewish history didn’t go much beyond the beginning of Christianity.  In most documentaries of this type our history starts with Abraham and ends with Jesus and then begins again with the Holocaust while everything in between is a dark space filled with pogroms and expulsions and exiles.  Makes for dismal reading at best, but at worst it is incorrect.  There were centuries of interesting history in between the Jesus and the Shoah. 

This particular DVD made the point that a tiny (comparatively speaking) group known as Israelites - Hebrews - conceived and bequeathed the unique idea of a monotheistic Deity.  This concept transformed much of the world, its people, culture and therefore history.  Other contributions were mentioned such as, well, glassblowing.

Concepts and values which came from this small group of people, while of benefit to the growth of societal cohesion and distribution of wealth and goods, pales in comparison to the idea of monotheism.  Nevertheless these other contributions are important. 

However, there is another gift that is seldom referenced.  We were the hinge - the bridge between two worlds: Christianity and Islam.  We moved and lived within each world - integrated (as much as the larger community allowed) but not assimilated.  This proved valuable to both civilizations - and offered us a modicum of safety in the ever shifting sands of power as the two civilizations vied continually for dominance on many borders - for centuries - to this day.

Each civilization represented a threat to the other and though there were certainly contacts - these contacts were usually fraught with suspicion.  Christians lived under Islamic suzerainty in Sepharad (Spain) - but were feared by the emirs as a potential threat whereas the Jewish community was not a physical threat.  Thus Jews found themselves wielding great power in the emir’s service. The reverse was true when Christians dominated - they feared their Islamic subjects much more than their Jewish population.  Though Jews at times joined to fight one or the other - because of their small numbers both Moslems and Christians didn’t physically fear the Jews nearly as much as they feared one another.

When Christian kings wanted to communicate with Moslem emirs - they turned to Jews as emissaries - and vice versa.  However, this bridge wasn’t only because of the lack of inherent Jewish power to harm either side, it was also because of language and knowledge.  Jews who traveled to and fro could speak to both sides.  It was not unusual for Jewish leaders and intellectuals to speak Ladino (old Spanish), Hebrew, Arabic and Latin (or a Latin derivative).  This language bridge became crucial not only for communication but also for the transmittal of knowledge. 

Many of the ancient texts of Greek thought in a number of fields (medicine, astronomy, mathematics, philosophy) had been translated into Arabic in cities of the east like Baghdad.  This lore traveled across the Maghreb (northern Africa) and into Sepharad and there it stopped.  But as Christians began pushing south into the Iberian Peninsula and reclaiming it from Moslem rule the possibility opened up that this knowledge might continue going north into Europe.  However, few Christians capable of translating such works could speak Arabic and few Moslems could translate into Latin or the derivative - Castilian.  Jews could do both. 

Realizing the importance of this transmittal of knowledge, Alfonso X set up a college of translators in Toledo, Spain and Jews were heavily represented among the esteemed men who had both the ability to translate as well as the intellectual capability to understand such a treasure trove from the Greeks.  There were other centers of translation where the borders of the two civilizations met - such as Sicily.  However, it was Toledo that was considered the most important.  This task of translation then crossed the Pyrenees and commenced in Europe.

These translations continued through the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.  Not long after was the advent of the printing press with which again Jews were soon heavily involved in Holland, Italy and Salonika and thus furthered the spread of knowledge.  At first these presses were used to print Jewish texts, but soon were used for printing other texts and served a mixed community. 

Generally speaking, literacy rates among Jews were fairly high - comparatively - since Jewish men were expected to study Talmud and Jewish women to read “simple” prayer books written especially for them. Reading Hebrew texts was never confined to an “official” Jewish clergy - but was always open to any male member of the Jewish community who wanted to come and study.  Bar Mitzvah required the ability to read.

The Christian community - until the advent and rise of Protestant denominations - generally kept the reading of the Bible within the confines of the official church hierarchy.  There was a time, in England, when knowing how to read automatically gave a defendant access to ecclesiastic courts which tended to have (slightly) less daunting outcomes (punishments). It was called “claiming the benefit of clergy” even though one was not a member of the clergy - but simply able to read.

After the Reformation, Protestants encouraged reading the Bible among the laity - as Jews had always done.  This advanced literacy greatly in Europe.  So as knowledge through the Toledo translations became available, both the printing press and the Reformation eventually helped to disseminate it further.

Because Jews had early contact with both Greek and Arabic medical knowledge, they took this with them north into Christian lands becoming famous as physicians - serving the general population as well as the nobility and ecclesiastic centers such as the Vatican.  Jewish women were well known for using herbs for healing and this is pivotal in Sir Walter Scott’s heroine, Rebecca, in Ivanhoe.

The use of letters of credit rather than carrying around bags of coins, a mercantile-credit network spanning much of the known world that Jews established among themselves, proved useful to society at large and fostered both trade and interchange of ideas.  As a group, we are known for being commercially astute and this was used time and again by potentates for their own advantage. 

The mercantile network which Jews set up and refined through the centuries was at first for their own benefit - to facilitate the movement of money and to safeguard it.  It helped that they wrote their letters of credit, accounts and messages in Hebrew, often laced with code words.  The commercial network evolved over the centuries and went through Europe, into the Middle East, along the Silk Road, the Far East and into China and was used by families like the Sassoons.  This practice of creating a network was also used by the sons of Amschel Rothschild who were spread over Europe and England. 

This network and the means of transferring funds without actually physically handling coinage helped to spread goods and services to areas not generally on the mainstream of commerce.  The Ottoman emperors used Jews to “seed” desolate areas and bring prosperity which translated into more taxes for the emperor.  The Ottomans welcomed the Jews expelled from Spain and couldn’t understand why Spain would throw away such a dynamic portion of the population.

The network was not only about commerce, but was also about rescue.  Our history is replete with rescuing other Jews in trouble, singly or entire populations.  Whole communities would ransom a single Jewish captive - though he was a stranger to them.  It continues today as Jews around the world help to finance Israel’s efforts to bring large groups of Jews in jeopardy to safety.

Jews became adept at turning adversity wherever possible into a positive outcome.  Forced to flee - they developed portable wealth such as loose jewels and set up diamond markets in which they are heavily represented to this day.  Forced to flee - they set up mercantile networks. Forced to flee - they set up a religious practice no longer tied to a specific place such as a Temple and religious ritual not dependent upon a structured clergy - a minyan would suffice.  Forced to flee - they became cartographers.  Forced to flee - they became a people who often spoke more than one language. Forced to flee - they developed trade in “soft goods” like fabrics which is more easily transportable.  Forced to flee they carried their entire history, religion, ethics, legal code and tradition in a Book.  They didn’t need a fancy building in which to pray.

Often prohibited from owning land, they undertook portable trades such as tailor, shoemaker, peddler, watch repair, scribe, dance master, tutor, tax collector, physician, money lender - trades which are of use everywhere.

Forced to live in cramped ghettoes they became expert at organizing community organizations, their own hierarchy, courts, taxes, religious and civic entities and even structured dance choreography to fit small spaces.  If the ghetto was locked at night - Amschel Rothschild used it to safeguard the money chests of the prince under whose rule he lived from other marauding princes.  He had convinced the prince that his double cellared home locked inside the ghetto was the safest place for the money chests.

And that’s just a few events between the time of  Jesus and the Shoah.  Which brings us to the success of Israel - what a small number of people can accomplish in a land with few physical resources.  The human resource is more important.

David M. Caterino is a native of Arlington, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. His interest in history began at an early age, surrounded as he was by the relics and lore of the American Revolution. He moved to California for his naval service and chose to remain in San Diego, where he has resided since 1986.

Mr. Caterino is a graduate of the New York Maritime College, with advanced degrees in biology and anthropology from San Diego State University. It was while researching his graduate thesis on cemeteries for the latter that collaboration began with Dr. Seth Mallios on the San Diego Gravestone Project. The fruits of this intellectual effort are Cemeteries of San Diego and Cemeteries of San Diego County.

A Registered Professional Archaeologist, Mr. Caterino is the Coordinator of the South Coastal Information Center, the archaeological archive for San Diego County. He and Dr. Mallios are continuing their joint effort to record all cemeteries throughout the County and, in addition, are excavating the cistern at the Whaley House in Old Town. In his free time, he enjoys investigating the underwater archaeological sites off the coast of San Diego.

Inside AZA
Southwestern Jewish Press, March 10, 1950, page 5

There’s not too much news this time, except that softball season will be opened soon—officially. As many of you know, San Diego AZA’s main pride and joy is its softball team. Last year, we did so well, the chapter was invited up to Oakland to represent the Southern region.  We kept on fighting right up to the finals, and it our hope that this year we may capture the crown for inter-region playing. From the looks of the team so far, we’ve got as good a chance as anybody else; so don’t be surprised if you see us going up north again.

The boys practice every Sunday at Horace Mann at about nine thirty in the morning. We’ve got a fine pair of coaches, and the team has been rated as tops. So, as I said before, if you want to see some real ball playing, come on out and watch San Diego’s contribution to sports—the AZA softball team.

That’s all for this time, so until next time, so long!


Hadassah Evening Group
Southwestern Jewish Press, March 10, 1950, page 5

For information in regard to the next meeting please call W. 5144 or T. 9647

Call President Evelyn Hermann at W.5763 or the Membership Chairman, Slivia Bush at T.1-4349.


Birdie Stodel B’nai B’rith Chapt. No. 92
Southwestern Jewish Press, March 10, 1950, page 6

By Bess Borushek

Like all chapters of the Women’s B’nai B’rith, Birdie Stodel must first of all clear itself of all assessments due our Grand Lodge before it can begin to make plans for subscriptions to special projects such as B’nai B’rith in Israel, Hillel Library Fund, Hillel Scholarships and the Foreign Student Service of Hillel.

This last lap of our assessments will be covered by the proceeds of a luncheon and card party to be held on Mach 13th, at 12 noon at Temple Center.  General chairman of this luncheon is Sophie Himmel with Esther Cole supervising the kitchen.  It is hoped as many members and their friends as possible will attend this affair so that our goal can be reached. Please phone your reservations to Mrs. Himmel at J-2310.

“Brotherhood Week” as celebrated on the evening of Feb 27th at Tifereth Israel Synagogue by both Women’s Chapters was highly successful. The program planned by both ADL chairmen, Rose Aved of Bridie Stodel and Betty Sugarman of Bay City was stimulating and provocative.  Movies on the theme of “Brotherhood” and “tolerance” were most enjoyable and the talks of Rev. Ferguson and Rabbi Levens held the capacity audience in rapt attention.

At the board meeting held recently, plans were formulated for the installation of the new officers who will head Birdie Stodel for the next year. Ruth Aronoff will be in charge of arrangements and the date has been set for May 9th.

The time will soon be on hand when candidates will be presented for election to state and national officers.  In following the program of B’nai B’rtith’s Women’s Legislative Education, it behooves every member not only to vote but to vote intelligently by becoming better informed about these men and women who represent us bad sadly enough do not always represent our own individual opinions. Failure to vote correctly may effect your life.  No one can afford to be ignorant about matters which effect him.  Issues on Civil Rights, Housing, Schools, Minimum Wage and Displaced Persons deserve our interest and our concern.

“Adventures in Jewish History” is sponsored by Inland Industries Group LP in memory of long-time San Diego Jewish community leader Marie (Mrs. Gabriel) Berg. Our indexed "Adventures in San Diego Jewish History" series will be a daily feature until we run out of history.
