Grand Rapids, Mich.
That was a remarkable out¬ pouring of people which rilled the Grand Ballroom of the Southern Hotel last Tuesday evening. May 27th, to pay tri¬ bute to the newly-elected spir¬ itual leader of Temple Israel who was officially cho.sen on Friday evening; May IGth.
Rabbi F'olkman comes here from Grand Rapids, Mich., where he .achieved an enviable repu¬ tation as a civic leader, an edu¬ cator and eloquent pulpiteer. Practically every family was represented at the festive gath¬ ering, all waiting with keen an¬ ticipation for the brilliant mes¬ sage of their newly designated spiritual leader; for they had all been hearing many beautiful reports about his character, his personality, and his achieve¬ ments. They all joyfully turned out to meet and greet the man who, after careful consideration and mature reflection, has been chosen' to guide the destinies of
cenlral   Ohio's   leading   reform Temple.
R<*slei-   Makes   Inti-otluction
President Leon .J. Goodman, in-a few well chosen words be¬ fitting the occasion, called the asserhbly to order, and after giv¬ ing a brief resume of the Tem¬ ple's history for the past year called upon Mr. .lack Resler to introduce Dr. Folkman to the families   of   the    congregation.
After thanking Mr. Goodman and th'e officers for their warm greetings and their fine hospi- taliCy, the Rabbi spoke from the heart as well as from his erud¬ ite mind. His words—emanating as they did from the depths of his heart—found lodgement in the hearts of every man and woman present. Every thought he uttered had the ring ot an all comsuming  sincerity.

He defined Judaism as a way of life based on a 4,000 year old (Continued on Page Elghtl

but they must not deter us from
Stepping up the effort and giv¬ ing it every ounce of drive we
are  capable  of",  said  Roth. "Only the most generous, the
most sacrificial giving by every¬ one, win enable tis tb meet the
challenge of raising our  share
of   the   enormous  sum   needed
to  save  the  lives  of  liberated
Jews in Europe who now face
death   in  detention  camps  and
in, the rubble of once prosperous
communities,"    concluded    this
