LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER


Sweat-equity partners sought for
San Diego Jewish World
by publisher

SAN DIEGO—While San Diego Jewish World has gained its place, there is so much more we could do in presenting to the San Diego Jewish community and to Jewish communities all over the world a daily publication of news and commentary.

I am looking for partners who would like to build up San Diego Jewish World with a new graphic design, increased content, and expanded advertising. These prospective partners don't have to invest a dime in our publication—we really don't want your money. We are looking for two things far more important: your ideas and your hard work.

If you are as committed as we are to keeping the Jewish community informed, and to its well-being, and if you have skills that will help us accomplish our task--such skills as web designing, or selling advertising, or web mastering, or writing and editing--we invite you to contact us to discuss your interest in bettering this publication.

I can be reached at editor@sandiegojewishworld.com. Please provide me with some background about yourself, tell me your skills, and how you would like to see San Diego Jewish World. I will respond, and perhaps set up a meeting with you to discuss further your ideas and potential participation in San Diego Jewish World. Donald H. Harrison, editor and publisher

Temple Beth Israel
Southwestern Jewish Press, April 14, 1950, page 9


April 19th marks the first anniversary of the death of Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, one of the immortals of American Jewry.  AT the regular Friday evening worship service tonight, at 8:00 p.m., Rabbi Morton J. Cohn will preach a memorial sermon on the life and influence of this great spiritual leader, with special reference to his recently published autobiography, “Challenging Years.”

At next week’s Sabbath Eve service (Friday, April 21, at 8 p.m.) Rabbi Cohn will take cognizance of the Second Anniversary of the Establishment of the State of Israel by preaching on the subject, “We Light the Second Candle.”

Cantor Julian Miller will lead the Choir in special music at these services. Our volunteer choir has made amazing strides of progress in recent months. It is open to men and women who enjoy signing and wish to add their voices in the service of God.  Those interested are urged to call the Temple office, F. 9-4631.

Rabbi to speak at Scholia Club—On Saturday evening, April 15, Rabbi Cohn will present a paper before the Scholia Club on “The State of Israel and the Arab Problem.” This is in response to a request by this group of civic and intellectual leaders.

Religious School—Last Sunday morning was designated “United Jewish Fund Sunday” at Beth Israel Religious School.  Mr. Albert Hutler spoke to the pupils in behalf of the Youth Division of the Campaign and presented a touching motion picture to the children.

Following the presentation, the pupils voted an appropriation of $200 from their Ts’dakah Fund. They will add to this whatever contributions are brought next Sunday in a special collection. Parents are urged to make next Sunday’s contribution an especially generous one. Thus our children are doing their part to “Keep the Miracle Alive.”

Temple Beth Israel Sisterhood
Southwestern Jewish Press, April 14, 1950, page 9

A delightful addition to the planned program for the regular monthly luncheon meeting of the Temple Beth Israel Sisterhood has just been announced by Mrs. Sam Friedman, program chairman.  Patrick Hanratty, baritone, will sing accompanied by Mrs. Margeurite B. Nobles at the piano. Mr. Hanratty is a pupil of Mrs. Nobles who is the organist at the regular Friday night services at Temple Beth Israel.

The Sisterhood will meet the coming Wednesday, April 19th, in the Temple Center, 3rd and Laurel Streets. Luncheon will be served at 11:45 a.m. and is being planned under the excellent supervision of Mrs. Abe Sklar, Mrs. Harris Rubel and Mrs. Mack Esterson.

Mrs. Walter Hardman of Seattle, president of the western federation of Temple Sisterhoods, will be the guest speaker. Her subject will be “The Builders.”  A round table discussion will follow the address, with several members of the Sisterhood participating. Mrs. Hardman’s visit to San Diego has been eagerly awaited. She will offer vital information which will have the utmost interest for all.

Main business of the afternoon will be the election of officers. Nominees presented at the March meeting by Mrs. Edgar Levi, chairman of the nominating committee, are : President, Mrs. Carl Esenoff; 1st vice president, Mrs. Abe Sklar; 2nd vice president, Mrs. Mack Esterson; 3rd vice president, Mrs. Harold Elden; Recording secretary, Mrs. Seymour Rabin; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Nathan Schiller; financial secretary, Mrs. Norman Seltzer; treasurer, Mrs. Ben Harris.

Nominated to serve on the Board of Directors are: Mmes Sam Siraton, Florence Corwin, Sam Friedman, Maury Novak, Harry Demsey and Robert Stone.

Further nominations from the floor for any office will be accepted at the meeting.

Reservations for the luncheon which is served at the nominal cost of 75 cents, should be made now with any of the luncheon hostesses: Mrs. Mack Esterson, B-5183; Mrs. Harris Rubel, J-1625; Mrs. Abe Sklar, B-1403.

Plan to attend this meeting Wednesday, April 19th, you will definitely enjoy a delicious luncheon and a stimulating program.

The second in the series of book reviews presented by Ida Nasatir under the sponsorship of the Temple sisterhood is slated for Wednesday, April 25th.  Holders of tickets are asked to please take note of the corrected date.  Mrs. Nasatir will review “Cry the Beloved Country.,” This should make for good listening—won’t you and your friends plan to join us in the Temple proper on this date?  Single admission tickets are available at one dollar—and may be purchased at the door or by phoning Mrs. Ben Harris, ticket chairman at T. 1-3328

Tifereth Israel News
Southwestern Jewish Press, April 14, 1950, page 9

Sabbath Services—Sabbath evening Services will be held this Friday April 14th at 8:15 p.m.  Cantor Aaron A. Kaufman will officiate as Guest Cantor. The son of a cantor himself, Cantor Kaufman received his musical education in Russia, graduating from two conservatories there.  He served as the principal of the Detroit College of Music and was in charge of all musical activities at Temple Beth El of that city.  He has served as Cantor in Oakland and Los Angeles, and is a professional teacher of piano and voice. All are cordially invited to hear Cantor Kaufman this Friday evening.  

Rabbi Levens will deliver the sermon.

Sabbath Morning Services at 9:00 a.m.  Sabbath Afternoon Services at 5:30 p.m. followed by a social and study hour (“Sholosh Seudos”) and the Evening Service.

Daily Minyon—Tifereth Israel Daily Minyon meets regularly every Sunday at 8:00 a.m. and Weekdays at 7:30 a.m. Evening Service, by arrangement.

Religious School – Classes of the Sunday morning Religious School will be resumed this Sunday, April 16th, after the Passover recess.  Children of the school will begin preparations for the closing program, the “Torah Pageant,” which will be given Sunday evening, May 21st, 7:30 p.m.

Daughters of Israel—The regular meeting of the Daughters of Israel will be held Thursday, April 27th, at 12:00 noon.  The usual delicious luncheon will be followed by an ORT business session and a social afternoon.

Y.P.L Card Party —Tifereth Israel Yong People’s League will hold a Card Party and Social, Sunday night April 30th at the Synagogue.  A door prize will be given away and refreshments will be served.  Proceeds of the event will be used to carry on the club activities. Tickets may be obtained from any Y.P.L. members.

With the Rabbi—Rabbi Levens addressed the Y’s Men’s Club in Escondido.  He will also appear before the Men’s club of the Asbury Methodist Church, and deliver an invocation for the County Federation of Women’s Clubs.

Passover Notes—Tifereth Israel Synagogue may well be proud of the program for Passover observances which it has carried through this year. The Religious School Model Seder and the Sisterhood Passover Institute provided excellent opportunities through which our families were enabled to gain a full understanding of the meaning and observances of Passover.

 
“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.
