In the name of free speech and the first Amendment, Collins wants to masquerade through Skokie on the birthday of Adolf Hitler whose very name conjures upon the murder of six m i l l i o n Jews as an irreplaceable loss to our people. A modern ELEVENTH commandment NOT to grant a Posthumous Victory to Hitler must be part of our compelling Jewish drive to program, plan and respond. Yes, we must sing and celebrate, study and worshipl Cantor Shuster together with our organist Sheldon Rosenbaum w i l l offer a class Tuesday evenings from 8 to 9 p.m. in Sephardic music teaching the present theme of Friday evening Services following up Ashkenazic, Contemporary Israeli and American Jewish liturgy. Our Can Yeladim under supervision of Ms. Sara Zucker and faculty w i l l sponsor Shabbat Family Seders Friday, February 10th and 17th, as w i l l our Congregation prior to the Hassidic Shabbat Service February 24th. Friday night happenings at our Synagogue are to be experienced. Afford yourself that very rare and»uplifting Jewish moment! Breakfast with the Rabbi highlighting Jewish Marriage Encounter on Sunday February 19th at 10 a.m., the multi-media Israel Experience, Tuesday February 21st at 8:00 p.m., under the sponsorship of the Men's Club, the Adult Education Theatre Party to view Han in the Glass Booth Saturday night March kth at the Mayer Kaplan J.C.C., and the Spring Semester of the Northwest Institute of Adult Jewish Studies beginning Monday night March 13th at Temple Judea-Mizpah - are opportunities of Jewish Response and AffJ rmation. The First Amendment affords us Freedom of Religion in addition to that of Freedom of Speech! The "American" Nazis stand for destruction and devastation. Judaism, in our Synagogue expression, proclaims life and purpose. We shall strive on ever ready to face our detractors and deterrents. Their Wish is White Power - our hope is Jewish purpose in building a better America and Israel. We shall never forget but ever stand ready. P.S. V/e warmly welcome our Executive Director Cyril G. Oldham back to the synagogue from his extended illness and pray for his complete recovery, health, strength and well-being. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Such has been judged by the courts to be the law of the land and it seems Freedom of Speech is more immediate than Freedom from Fear. The Holocaust has become history rather than the living hell it is and shall always remain and Jews again must bear witness to what others may want to view as now past. I am grateful a major TV network — NBC — will air a nine-hour special beginning April 16th and continuing three straight nights teaching us anew eternal lessons as old as our people's Egyptian experience and as new as the tragedy of Nazism. Please watch this special with your family. It is Jewish responsibility, yea, a mitzvah to do so! Furthermore, Freedom of Religion must be part of our response to our enemies. Our Synagogue can be a bulwark of strength especially in these troubled days. Worship is as much a part of us as Jews now as ever before. Cantor Shuster has provided a variety of liturgical music touching many facets of the Jewish soul. Hassidic, Ashkenazic and Sephardic expressions both inspire and uplift. Yet it is not only the Worship pattern offered but it is the worshipper himself who is crucial. The Jew who knows and loves his tradition always has a strength of faith which inwardly sustains regardless of outside pressures. Such is what uplifts from the depth of difficulty in this Nazi muddiness in which we are presently mired. Nazism is Hometz in a Passover setting but we can clean ourselves of this accumulated mess. Prayer, Study and Deeds of Loving Kindness — in the spirit of Jewish affirmation is the Passover message leading us from Slavery to Freedom and from bondage to liberation.
