DAYTON DAILY NEWS PAYS HIM A  GLOWING TRIBUTE
DAYTON,—Rabbi Saitiucl S, Mayer¬ berg (H. U. C, 1!)17) has accepted a call .to B'nai Jchudali Congregation, Kansas .City, Mo;, to succeed Rabl)i Harry. H: M.aycr .wlio becomes Rabbi Iimeritiis.
Rabbi Mayerberg has been in Dayton 7'/^ years during which time he has erected a nevy building and has largely in¬ creased the membership of his congre¬ gation. . .  - ¦
He has been very active in the general conmuinity and holds many positions of honor aiid trust.   He is- the.President ot
- KABBI S.S. MAYERBERG
the Dayton Torch Club and serves upon the Executive Committee of the Dayton Bureau of Comniunity Service, the As¬ sociated Charities, the Dayton" Chamber of Commerce, the American Reti Cross, the .Barney Coninuinity Center, the Mojitgomery Couiity Humane Society and. the .Ohio Association for the Wel¬ fare of the. Mentally Sick,
Rabbi. Mayerberg served a^ President of District No. 2, I. O. B. B. last year, and he was also a member of the-build- ing commission which erected the new County Home for Children. , , ,
The Dayton Daily NeWS'speaking of him editorially.says:
"SAM" MAYERBEKG
"Gone off to Kansas City, Mo.! Tliat is the misery of it with the gockl men who lead our religious flocks. , They move to town; they makethcinsclves so useful. We  wonder how .we ever  lived
. without. them; theli they're up and gone tq some place that seems to need them moi-e, and we are left lamenting. "Rabbi Sanuiel S, Mayerberg came to
¦ Dayton seven and a half- years ago. In that time he has biirrowed into the. city's heart so deeply the city feels as if it had al\vays had him. Wherevei: there was something doing to'call .forth the. best that was in the chy, there was always Rabbi Mayerberg helpiqg with the call¬ ing. He built .up with marvelous success the spirit an'd the plant of his own con¬ gregation, but the range of his- interests
. and efforts has been city wide. Profes¬ sionally, the representative of a distinct race and religion, iie has been a power¬ ful force for. welding his city" into one common, understanding human sympathy, 'He. has been the kind of citizen which any cily can least afford to lose. Dayton will.miss  him -sorely.
"A city, no less than an individual, should be willing to make sacrifices, Kansas City needs Sain Mayerberg as much as, Diiyton does—probably more, Since we cannot help his. going,. Dayton offers Kansas City its heartfelt congratu lations; and-since the- Rabbi's going is doubtless due to his conviction that in Kansas City he wilt have ^, greater field of usefulness lhan he had here, we con¬ gratulate Rabbi 'Mayerberg also.
"But Jet nobody suppose that Dayton ' makes its renunciation without a tear . for its smile to shine through,"

Shabuothy The Feast of Pentecost Begins Thursday, May 24th
Festival    of   Weeks    Will    Be Ushered in With Eve-
ning Services
With sundown on Tluir.sday, May 24, ¦ 19:^8, the Jewish people will uShcr in its celebration of the Feast of Pentecost, called in Hebrew "Shabubth,'* the Fes¬ tival of Weeks, with appropriate,eveniiig services. The Bible appoints one day for' thc observance of this festival. It stands as one of the fundamental holidays of the Jewish calendar. Today it is, un¬ doubtedly, otie of the most interesting of all, because in the gradiial development of its meaning and value.in Jewish life there may be traced thc gradual develop¬ ment of the Jewish people and Judaism.    ,
When   the   Jews   dwelt   in   Palestine, their prime occupation was agriculture. Being an agricultural people, they nat¬ urally  endowed  many of their  holidays with  an  agricultural  background.    The return of .spring,  for instance, marked the   beginning   of   the   barley   harvest. Hence, the festival of Passover was orig¬ inally   instituted   to   commemorate  that event.   But the;i)eriod of the harvest sea¬ son of the grain ends with the harvest¬ ing of tiie wheat, which draws to an end    ¦ fifty, days following the feast of Pass¬ over.   Hence, the concluding .day of the" grain harvest of the ycar'^was a day.of great joy and gladness in Palestine.   On that day, the Jews would bring to the. Temple at Jerusalem the first fruits Pf   , the wheat harvestj and offer it to Gocl at , the sanctuary; , There they would rejoice, ; and  be  glad.   That  joyous celebration, . kiiown as  Pentecost today, is called in ; the.Bible the Day of the First Fruits or ., the Feast of Harvest,. .
But in time, Pentecost lost its meaning in, Jewish life as a nature festival.   Its agricultui'al   background  no  longer, ap- .: pealed  to the JeW.    Therefore,  in the \ course of  time, the celebration of  Pen7 tecost  was  given  an  entirely   different meaning.    The idea was developed that.- this festival, being fifty days.after Pass¬ over, is the day upon which the children of Israel received the Torah ori Mount Sinai.    Pentecost came to stand for the birthday of theTorahand for the birth¬ day of the children of Israel as,a "dis¬ tinguished people" with the Torah as.its constitution.   For this reason, the festival , of Pentecost still ranks today as oiie pf the mcs-t joyous holidays of the year.
This idea of Pentecost as the day upon which  Moses gave the Ten  Command¬ ments   to  the, Jewish   people   bears .an eternal message to Jewry and the world at large today.   Moses had led forth the children of Israel, from their slavery in Egypt.    He felt, though, tliat in order that they . should . possess  freedom, they must first possess a spiritual-life. „ He felt that the people as a whole must be . instructed, in spiritual values and in right . conduct before; it can gain real freedom. . Never before in the history of the world ¦ was instruction and education open to the great masses of the people.   Oidy indi¬ viduals, the priests and men of the no¬ bility,: were somewhat educated in their religion.    But Moses conceived this ver-. itable ti-uth that a.people isnot truly free , until it is spiritually   free-=-until    it . is guided by a spiritiial way of life.    He therefore transmitted the Torah to 'the children of Israel.
Today, the most impressive celebration of Pentecost in all Reform Temples and Progressive Synagogues is the solemn rite of Confirmation of the Je\Vish youth into their ancestral faith. . The young boys and-girls are first instructed in the history and principles of Judaism, and then on Pentecost, they make a, solemn proclamation to hold fast to the teach¬ ings of their fathei-s all the day^ of their life. On this day the Book, of Ruth is read, and Ruth's recognition of . the values and message of Judaism lends: color to the Confirmation exercises., This inspiring ceremony wliiclV becomes for both young and old a re-enactment of the signal event on Mount Sinai takes place on Pcntccoijt to show that every genera¬ tion of Jews willingly accepts the Torah as the guide for life.
