'Tie THeaoM^ O^ Suecot^
Succoth is a holiday with one meaning, and, if we may be paradoxical, of many meanings. Itis a harvest festival, but to the mUlions of Jews who have been away from Israel, away from its soU for thbuskids of years, it lias had other meanings. It recaUs the time long back when Jews-wandered forth from Egypt and b^89jiiito dweU in th^Urlown land, becoming tlUers , .of ^Its^jsoU aind reihindS'^s at the same time of the ' .li^iw^'^u^^ent'wkid^H^   of the people of Israel
'^'i^fi^'IP^^^^i'''*''^'^*''^''^ rebulldihg of Israel. It isf^Tii^misymbols, tlie "lulav" and the "esrog" ' and the "siikkah."
The vicissitudes of Jewish Mstoiy have caused ' the accents of the aspect of the holidays to be varied from time to time. \
ALWAYS a time of Joy the great Israeli viqtory Otis year gives %ie currntt Succoth holiday a special sienificance. SucMith is one of the three nudor Jewish hoUdi^s on friiich,^qpc'ording to the Mosaic laws, Jews were wont to gather in Jerusalem and worsMp at thoi Temple. For the first time to two jtjipusand years, tMs gatherhig under Jewish auspices is iww made possible. Tens ofthousands doubtless wUl gather at the Western Wall ofthe Temple UiIs year to prayi S
Of the three major Jewish festivals, Succoth is the one most identified with Israel. Passover commem¬ orates the emancipation from bondage, Shavuoth, the icivbig of the Ten CommandmentstJbot Succoth alone " deals wiUi Israel per se, witii thoKagrlcultinral and economic life of Israel. /      .     '
BUT IF Succoth has special joy for Israel this year, it also has a special significance fbr the Jews; i In other parts of the world. The events ofthe past few monUis have shown that In a jet age, a few thousand mUes separation means very litUe.

Samuel Melton
Often It haK>ons that deep feelhigs and convictions are difficult, if not impossible, to put into words. Such is our feeling toward Samuel M. Melton, who Sunday night' was honored not just by our community, in wMch he has been a leader and phUanthropist for many years, but by Ms feUow Jews in the United States and Israel — an international Accdade.
And rightly so, for Ms good is not felt only in COIumbus, but by people everywhere who.are ccm- cemed with Jewish education, an area in wMch he has given more than any man in our time. To know him is to feel at Ms warmth and richness of heart, A quiet, modest man with a powerful voice for good.
Samuel M, Melton is apWan^ropIstliithetiueJi:^
