SPECIAL PUY; ALAN KING PLANNED FOR ANNUAL TORAH ACADEMY DINNER
Yom Kippur: Day Of Atonement
"Bofore Whom do you purify yourselves and' Who is it that purifies you?" usks the great Rabbi Aklba. And he answers: "God Almighty does It." As Is said in Ezeklel 3G-23: "1 will sprinkle clean water upon you and you shall be clean."
.This proclaims man's direct access to God and Indicates that tho Initiative of purification Is with the sinner himself. For by fearless self-examination, by open confession and by the firm resolve nqt to repeat the transgressions of the past, man cleanses himself. Our heavenly Father sees the humble self-abasement and the sinner's penitence and He sprinkles the clean water of pardon and forgiveness upon the sinner.
The entire Day of Atonement is devoted to fasting, to prayer. Scripture reading, to hymns, anthems and severe self-confession.
However, mere abstention from food and other bodily desires is not enovigh. Fasting must be accompanied by a deep remorse and by the sinner's earnest promise to do all that is in his power to mend his ways.
Slowly the red ball of the sun sinks down marking the end of the solemn Yom Kippur Service; now the Shofar Is blown with a long and steady blast as long as the breath can hold it. The Day of Atonement is over.
A performance of Abraham Goldtaden's play, "The Witch," will be presented at the Annual Dinner ot the Columbus Torah Academy. This gala affair will be the evening of Nov. 11, dn the Grand Ballroom of the Deshler Hilton  Hotel.
The cast of "The Witch" will consist ot the fifth grade class of the Columbus Torah Academy.
Mr. Sidney Berkowltz, teacher of the fifth . grade, is adapting the play from the original Yid¬ dish  to be  presented in Hebrew.
IBerkowlitz    has    prepared   and presented  many Hebrew  adapta tlons   of   plays   by   Ibsen,   Oscar Wilde,   and   other   great   drama¬ tists.
Thesfe were acted by students of the Atlanta Hebrew Day School, where he formerly taught, and were widely acclaimed by the many who saw  tiiem.
Goldfaden, known as "the fa¬ ther of the Yiddish theatre') pro¬ vided extensive material for the Yiddish stage of the nineteenth and   early   twentieth   century.
Many of his plays are In the realm of fantasy, often based on folk themes. This Is the charac¬ ter of "The Witch.
A running narrative In Elng¬ lish wili be provided for the non- Hebrew-speaking members of the audience at the dinner.
In addition to this drajnatic presentation, the Torah Academy Dinner will introduce Alan King to its audience. Mr. and Mrs. Pearson Press and Richard So¬ love are dinner chairmen.
