As was to be expected, the
"Kosher Meat ( auldron" at Miami
Beach was bubbling merrily lhe
past week. Charges and recrimi-
nations were bandied about rather
freely. Investigations about butch-
ers were begun. Conflicting stories
about each other were told by dif-
ferent butchers. Of course, every-
one but lhe butcher speaking was
"absolutely treifah."
Some butchers even went so far
as to hang out signs declaring that
I hey were under the supervision of
Kahhis, when they had been told
not to. It mattered little to them
what the Rabbi said, just so they
could further their own business
interests. Deception, lying, mis-
representation, all contrary to
lhe very initial conception of
"Ne'emonus" (faith) in the butch-
er, are practiced to gain the con-
fidence of the customer.
Charges against the Rabbi who
tries to be fair, honest and sincere
are made by all, simply because he
cannot ... as a true leader of his
people say: "I believe this man
to be kosher."
What a deplorable situation:
But are we in this area alone in
ihis tragedy? No, not by any
means. Last week in the metro-
politan city of Baltimore, known
for years as "The Jerusalem of
America" with a "V'Aad Harabo-
nim" composed of more than four-
teen old and young Orthodox Rabbis
of Standing, many of them mem-
bers of the Agudaa Harabonlm of
America and Canada, issued a
statement in which they withdrew
their supervision from every
butcher in Baltimore. They frank-
ly confessed they could not cope
with the situation, so long as the
mass of the Jewish people re-
mained indifferent. They urged an
awakening of the conscience of the
people as the only solution to the
entire problem.
Here in Miami we are faced by
the very same problem. Not un-
til the people rise up in arms and
demand that they get what they
are paying for, will anything be
accomplished. Aside from the re-
ligious question involved, it is a
question of simple honesty. The
Jew is paying a tremendous tariff
and premium because he wants
kosher meat. He is entitled to re-
ceive what he is paying for.
Once again we urge upon the
people of this community, and par-
ticularly upon the smug, compla-
cent, self-satisfied tourist who
conn- to these shores that it is
up to him to get what he is pay-
ing for. That can and will be ac-
complished by the people them-
selves.
We suggest: The formation of
an organization composed of lay-
men, representative of each of the
Synagogues, and the tourist popu-
lation. Let the Rabbis act in an
advisory capacity only then
and then alone, will something
have been done in the right direc-
tion.

The thorny problem of kashruth
enforcement in New York has been
further complicated by the indict-
ment of Arthur Simon, municipal
kosher meat inspector and a lay
member of the Kashruth Associa-
tion, on three counts of extortion,
bribery and felony. The indict-
ments grew out of charges by a
kosher meat dealer that Simon al-
legedly offered to quash a viola-
tion for $250. Simon, who is re-
puted to have important political
connections, denies the charges and
insists he is being "framed."

THE JEWISH PLOKIDIAN
Friday, December 21, 1884
Several hundred Jewish residents
and tourists and a number of non-
Jews attended the first of a series
of symposiums on Jewish cultural
matters held at Temple Israel last
Tuesday evening. The program,
which was presented under the aus-
pices of the Rabbis of Greater
Miami, began with an organ re-
cital by Mrs. Hannah Spiro Asher.
Rabbi David I. Rosenbloom of Beth
Jacob Congregation told of the
formation of the symposiums and
presented Rabbi Julius Wasner of
the Miami Jewish Orthodox Con-
gregation, who detailed the history
of Orthodox Judaism or, as he
termed it, "traditional Judaism." A
duet by Mrs. Herbert U. Feibelman
and Mrs. Arthur Hirtenstein of
Temple Israel choir then followed.
Rabbi Max Shapiro of Beth David
Congregation was the next speak-
er and told of the founding of
"Conservative Judaism" by the late
Dr. Sabbato Morais, the founder of
the Jewish Theological Seminary.

A Step in the Right Direction
The first of a series of meetings to discus.-- Jewish cul-
tural matters, the prime purpose of which is to awaken an
interest among local Jews in things Jewish, demonstrated
rather forcibly that Jews can meet together in harmony.
We confess we had feared the subject... Orthodox, Con-
Bervative and Reform Judaism, as being highly controversial.
However ... the subjects were carefully and splendidly de-
veloped, with the highest regard and respect being shown for
the other man's belief. We were impressed with the candid
admission of the necessity for the existence of Orthodox
Judaism by the two Rabbis who expounded the two other
beliefs.
As true Jews the ritfht to think for one's self, the right
to believe as one's conscience dictated, the respect for the
other's sincerity, was so evident that the non-Jew who at-
tended must have been impressed.

and particularly some of our Jewish leaders, would follow |Libermaili president; I. Lipson,

The Human Tragedy"
Scripture Heading, Malachi, Chapter II, Verse 10, and Psalm CXXXIII,
Verse 1
For throe years this voice has been hoard, as Isaiah might put it,
"The voioe of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way
of the Lord, make straight in the dosort a highway for our God. Every
valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made
low; and the crooked shall bo made straight, and the rough places
plain; And the glory of the Lord shall bo revealed, and all flesh shall
see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it."
For three years this voice has been admitted into the homes of
Jews and Christiansonly the voice and its messagethe speaker re-
maining, to most of the listeners, non-existent because invisible. And, I
would have it so. The message on Sinai was none the less potent be-
cause the Voice was not emanating from a physical body. For those
who are inspired, lor those who are attuned to the Spiritual, an audible
sound is superfluous. God's message to the prophets was received in
visions, by day or by night. There was not even a voice. No, not
even the "still small voice." 1 can conceive of the stillness, but the
"voice" makes tin phrase contradictory. Still means silent. How,
t/ien, could there have been a voice? However, to our audience, not
yet attuned to the spiritual, a voice, an audible sound leaving its im-
pression on the physical sense of hearing and, through it, upon the
mind, is necessary.
After these three years of regular weekly broadcasts I have been
convinced that the voice is not crying in the wilderness. At least, not
in an uninhabited and bleak wilderness. The thought waves have
a iused dormant forces and the words cast to the winds have brought
liuit. The fruition has been in the realm of thought. Men and women
have been arouse.i from their lethargic state of mind. God has come
to mean something in their lives. Religion lias become a vital factor
in their daily expi riences.
There is much that remains to l'e done before the greatest of all
human tragedies will | d from its position of saddling
mankind with afflictions. I refer to the confusion of theologies, the
multitude Of faiths, and the mass of dogma that divide men, that keep
thers from living together in unity, peace and harmony. Religion
unites men. The m, sets up harriers to keep them
i part. We well to heed the words of that great Roman
state Cicero, "Ju mmands us to have mercy upon all men,
to consult the int< i -:- of th( whole human race, to give to everyone
hi: due. and to injure no sacred, public or foreigen rights, and to
ing what doe- not belong to us." Substitute the word
. for the word justice and you have a great religious truth in
what might be termed a "sacred phrase."
I il were impressed by the great number of reli-
i ven in their day. In rendering an interpretation to the
vi rsea which e th< ition of man from the dust of the earth,
they stated : made man in this wise that, at no time, should
men lay claims to a better or nobler origin than their neighbors. We
all have our roots in the common clay. God did not create several ,
Adams. He did not draw from different molds, the original forms for
n Jew, a Christian, a Catholic or Protestant, a Hindoo, a Moslem, a
Chinese or a heretic and atheist. Reason teaches us that our Common
Father lovi us all with equal fervor and devotion. So does religion |
teach the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man.
But. this beautiful tree of Religion has been attacked by parasitic
fungi. Theologies have sprung up from seeds sown by man's hypoth-
and guesses; these plants have been fertilized by man's egotism,
vanity, greed and craving for power, and have drawn their nutrition
from roots imbedded in the superstitious minds and hearts of the ig-
norant mas.-es. These attempts by man to enhance the beauty of the
Trie of Religion have resulted in a wild growth of ideas, creeds and
dogmas, which have now grown to such proportions that the body of
the tree, the essentials of pure and simple religion, the Divine Love,
Justice, Peace, Brotherhood, Mercy, Co-operationall have been hidden
by the forms and rituals which have made us strangers one to the
Other. Out of sight and out of mind are the reasons for our being on <
earth. Our attention is centered upon the outer peel of our differences
i a; her than upon the great central core of tiie things wo have in
common.
I do not pray for one united human family in worship. That view
is not yet on our horizon. It will come in its own good time. I am
concerned with those things that are feasible and possible of accom-
plishment in our own day by our own human efforts. Radical change!
n the style of human thought and concepts are too revolutionary for
accomplishment in any one generation. But, thinking beings, con-
US of pain, aware of the focus of infection-, and offered a remedy.
ivail themselves of it. No person able to read is
unaware of the general -late of the human family; no one should be
. rant of thf feelings that exist between nation.- and between in-
dividuals. On the Other hand, the average individual is disinterested
'a the human family at a whole. He has problems clo e to his home.
What he fails to the relationship between the world problems
and his own. t of those major matters on his own petty, pc."-
onal, ely unimportant problem ,
The ther side to this tragedy that goes unnoticed in
those quarten where it should attract attention. The picayune, per-,
i and acts of the individual, multiplied many fold, pro- j
duces the greal world unrest. What are we to do? Shall we strive
by a stroke of the pen, by legislation, and conferences between states- !
men, to right this condition, to effect a cure by one dose that may be
fatal, revolutionary; or, shall we rather administer doses in small quan-
tities by effecting a change in the individuals who make up the human
familyat least, that portion of it that can be influenced by us?
Which seems the wiser, the more logical course?
So, for three years, on a larger scale than within the narrow
confines of a physical structure, we have attempted to carry out thu
instructions to the "voice crying in the wilderness." In our presenta-
tion, in sermon and in question box, we have sought to level mountains
and hills, to make straight the crooked, and to make plain the rough.
We have labored to bring to light the simple truths of Religion, that
they may be applied in the daily lives of our brothers. We have
fought to bring to the top, into the consciousness of every listener,
those gems of happiness which, because they were buried under a
mass of theological trimmings, were not adorning the human family,
were not giving to it the joy and comfort which they possess.
Some there are who hold tenaciously to their creeds and dogmas.
May they find happiness in them. As for me, I prefer a creedless
faith to a faithless creed. Whatever there be in your faith and mine
that makes us brothers in fact, in act, and in spirit is godly. What-
ever divides us, whatever comes between us is unfair to both you and
me and is man-made. When, as individuals, we learn to love each
other, then the world's problems will have been solved. The tragedy
of man's inhumanity to man, for which some distorted minds find
sanction in the word of Holy Writ and in the name of Goda God of
Love, Creator and Father of us allthat tragedy will no longer darken
man's horizon, when we shall have returned to the fundamentals and
elcmentals of Religion.
I pray God to spare me, to inspire me with wisdom, that I may
continue the ::voice that crieth in the wilderness."

The Four Mills Brothers, radio's
celebrated musical mimics, began
their roles in Marion Davies' new
picture, "Operator 13" which
cornea Sunday to the Seventh Ave-
nue Theatre.
The Mills Brothers, whose real-
istic voice imitations of various
musical instruments are known to
every radio fan, play the parts of
colored entertainers with Ted
llealy's medicine wagon troupe and
present several musical numbers
for the picture.
"Operator 13" co-stars Gary
Cooper with Miss Davies. Others
in the cast are Jean Parker, Kath-
arine Alexander, Ted llealy, Rus-
sell Hardie, Henry Wadswortl),
Douglas Dumbrille and Willard
Robertson.
Carl Brisson makes his initial
screen appearance in Earl Carroll's
"Murder at the Vanities," which
play- Sunday anil Monday at the
Tivoli Theatre.
In addition to Brisson, the film
features eleven of the famed Ea:l
Carroll beauties, Victor McLaglen,
Jack Oakie, Kittye Carlisle, Duke
F.llington and his famous orches-
tra. Dorothy Stickney, and Ger-
trude Michael. Toby Wing, Ga:l
Patrick, Jessie Ralph and Barbara
Fiitchie are also in the picture.
which was directed by Mitchell
Leisen.
The picture marks the first time
that a musical show has been com-
bined with a murder mystery. It
tells the story of a brilliant pre-
miere at a big New York theatre.
Before the dazzled eyes of gay
first-nighters, a lavish spectacle
unfolds.
How the crime is solved during
the progress of the show furnishes
a thrilling climax.

Because of the splendid racing
afforded dog fans at she beautiful
Biscayne Kennel Club on N. E.
2nd ave. at 115th st., tremendous
crowds have been in nightly at-
tendance. The mutuels have been
exceedingly popular with dog en-
thusiasts and the daily double has
been paying some fancy figures to
the lucky choosers. The excellent
card of eleven well matched races
nightly lends real zest to the eve-
ning's entertainment, with especial-
ly well matched entries in the sec-
ond and fourth races, which con-
stitute the daily double. Thi spa
cious turns and careful handling
of the dogs add keen interest to
the races, permitting the dogs an
equal opportunity to win, and the
dog fans to make their selections
with an opportunity of picking the
luck winners.
As the result of an appeal from
Rabbi David I. Rosenbloom, mem-
bers of Beth Jacob Congregation
at a meeting last Wednesday nigr.t
unanimously adopted a resolution
to form a committee which will at-
tempt to devise ways and means
for the establishment of a V'Aad
Hakashruth" (Kashrus Committee)
al Miami Beach. This committee
will meet with the Rabbi and will
draft plans which will be submit-
ted to the members of the congre-
gation at their next meeting.
Named to the committee were Is-
idor Shapiro of New York, Loul
Bloomfield of Miami Beach, jj
Rose of Miami Beach, Laxarui Al
rams of Miami Beach, I. BrennJ
of Cleveland, Ohio, I. Miller
Miami Beach and I. Roth of Mian

Rabbi Rosenbloom will preach on free of charge I An enthusiastic audience greeted \lfied M. Cohen, international pres ident of B'nai B'rith, discussing the administration of that group during the ninety-one years As was to be expected, the "Kosher Meat ( auldron" at Miami Beach was bubbling merrily lhe past week. Charges and recriminations were bandied about rather freely. Investigations about butchers were begun. Conflicting stories about each other were told by different butchers. Of course, everyone but lhe butcher speaking was "absolutely treifah." Some butchers even went so far as to hang out signs declaring that I hey were under the supervision of Kahhis, when they had been told not to. It mattered little to them what the Rabbi said, just so they could further their own business interests. Deception, lying, misrepresentation, all contrary to lhe very initial conception of "Ne'emonus" (faith) in the butcher, are practiced to gain the confidence of the customer. Charges against the Rabbi who tries to be fair, honest and sincere are made by all, simply because he cannot ... as a true leader of his people say: "I believe this man to be kosher." What a deplorable situation: But are we in this area alone in ihis tragedy? No, not by any means. Last week in the metropolitan city of Baltimore, known for years as "The Jerusalem of America" with a "V'Aad Harabonim" composed of more than fourteen old and young Orthodox Rabbis of Standing, many of them members of the Agudaa Harabonlm of America and Canada, issued a statement in which they withdrew their supervision from every butcher in Baltimore. They frankly confessed they could not cope with the situation, so long as the mass of the Jewish people remained indifferent. They urged an awakening of the conscience of the people as the only solution to the entire problem. Here in Miami we are faced by the very same problem. Not until the people rise up in arms and demand that they get what they are paying for, will anything be accomplished. Aside from the religious question involved, it is a question of simple honesty. The Jew is paying a tremendous tariff and premium because he wants kosher meat. He is entitled to receive what he is paying for. Once again we urge upon the people of this community, and particularly upon the smug, complacent, self-satisfied tourist who connto these shores that it is up to him to get what he is paying for. That can and will be accomplished by the people themselves. We suggest: The formation of an organization composed of laymen, representative of each of the Synagogues, and the tourist population. Let the Rabbis act in an advisory capacity only then and then alone, will something have been done in the right direction. Jewish News Around the World .-),000 Palestine Immigration Certificates to Be Distributed Jan. 1 Jerusalem—Five thousand new immigration certificates will be distributed for allocation to various countries in January, according to an announcement by the Jewi-h Agency.

The indictments grew out of charges by a kosher meat dealer that Simon allegedly offered to quash a violation for $250. Simon, who is reputed to have important political connections, denies the charges and insists he is being "framed."

As true Jews the ritfht to think for one's self, the right to believe as one's conscience dictated, the respect for the other's sincerity, was so evident that the non-Jew who attended must have been impressed.

Page Four THB JEWISH FLORIDIAN Friday, December 21, 19:jj Jlafcto ^\m$a# Bulletin Edited by RABBI S. M. MACHTEI Founder mid Director, Radio Syn&goir of America SUNDAY MORNINGS WIOD, MIAMI, FLORIDA Vol. V. SUNDAY. DECEMBER 16, 1934 No. 1 .'!' The Human Tragedy" Scripture Heading, Malachi, Chapter II, Verse 10, and Psalm CXXXIII, Verse 1 For throe years this voice has been hoard, as Isaiah might put it, "The voioe of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the dosort a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked shall bo made straight, and the rough places plain; And the glory of the Lord shall bo revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it." For three years this voice has been admitted into the homes of Jews and Christians—only the voice and its message—the speaker remaining, to most of the listeners, non-existent because invisible. And, I would have it so. The message on Sinai was none the less potent because the Voice was not emanating from a physical body. For those who are inspired, lor those who are attuned to the Spiritual, an audible sound is superfluous. God's message to the prophets was received in visions, by day or by night. There was not even a voice. No, not even the "still small voice." 1 can conceive of the stillness, but the "voice" makes tin phrase contradictory. Still means silent. How, t/ien, could there have been a voice? However, to our audience, not yet attuned to the spiritual, a voice, an audible sound leaving its impression on the physical sense of hearing and, through it, upon the mind, is necessary. After these three years of regular weekly broadcasts I have been convinced that the voice is not crying in the wilderness. At least, not in an uninhabited and bleak wilderness. The thought waves have a iused dormant forces and the words cast to the winds have brought liuit. The fruition has been in the realm of thought. Men and women have been arouse.i from their lethargic state of mind. God has come to mean something in their lives. Religion lias become a vital factor in their daily expi riences. There is much that remains to l'e done before the greatest of all human tragedies will | %  d from its position of saddling mankind with afflictions. I refer to the confusion of theologies, the multitude Of faiths, and the mass of dogma that divide men, that keep thers from living together in unity, peace and harmony. Religion unites men. The m, sets up harriers to keep them i part. We well to heed the words of that great Roman state Cicero, "Ju mmands us to have mercy upon all men, to consult the int< i -:of th( whole human race, to give to everyone hi: due. and to injure no sacred, public or foreigen rights, and to ing what doenot belong to us." Substitute the word for the word justice and you have a great religious truth in what might be termed a "sacred phrase." I • il were impressed by the great number of relii ven in their day. In rendering an interpretation to the vi rsea which e th< %  ition of man from the dust of the earth, they stated : made man in this wise that, at no time, should men lay claims to a better or nobler origin than their neighbors. We all have our roots in the common clay. God did not create several Adams. He did not draw from different molds, the original forms for n Jew, a Christian, a Catholic or Protestant, a Hindoo, a Moslem, a Chinese or a heretic and atheist. Reason teaches us that our Common Father lovi us all with equal fervor and devotion. So does religion | teach the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. But. this beautiful tree of Religion has been attacked by parasitic fungi. Theologies have sprung up from seeds sown by man's hypothand guesses; these plants have been fertilized by man's egotism, vanity, greed and craving for power, and have drawn their nutrition from roots imbedded in the superstitious minds and hearts of the ignorant mas.-es. These attempts by man to enhance the beauty of the Trie of Religion have resulted in a wild growth of ideas, creeds and dogmas, which have now grown to such proportions that the body of the tree, the essentials of pure and simple religion, the Divine Love, Justice, Peace, Brotherhood, Mercy, Co-operation—all have been hidden by the forms and rituals which have made us strangers one to the Other. Out of sight and out of mind are the reasons for our being on < earth. Our attention is centered upon the outer peel of our differences i a; her than upon the great central core of tiie things wo have in common. I do not pray for one united human family in worship. That view is not yet on our horizon. It will come in its own good time. I am concerned with those things that are feasible and possible of accomplishment in our own day by our own human efforts. Radical change! n the style of human thought and concepts are too revolutionary for accomplishment in any one generation. But, thinking beings, conUS of pain, aware of the focus of infection-, and offered a remedy. ivail themselves of it. No person able to read is unaware of the general •-late of the human family; no one should be rant of thf feelings that exist between nation.and between individuals. On the Other hand, the average individual is disinterested 'a the human family at a whole. He has problems clo e to his home. What he fails to the relationship between the world problems and his own. t of those major matters on his own petty, pc."onal, ely unimportant problem The ther side to this tragedy that goes unnoticed in those quarten where it should attract attention. The picayune, per-, i and acts of the individual, multiplied many fold, proj duces the greal world unrest. What are we to do? Shall we strive by a stroke of the pen, by legislation, and conferences between states! men, to right this condition, to effect a cure by one dose that may be fatal, revolutionary; or, shall we rather administer doses in small quantities by effecting a change in the individuals who make up the human family—at least, that portion of it that can be influenced by us? Which seems the wiser, the more logical course? So, for three years, on a larger scale than within the narrow confines of a physical structure, we have attempted to carry out thu instructions to the "voice crying in the wilderness." In our presentation, in sermon and in question box, we have sought to level mountains and hills, to make straight the crooked, and to make plain the rough. We have labored to bring to light the simple truths of Religion, that they may be applied in the daily lives of our brothers. We have fought to bring to the top, into the consciousness of every listener, those gems of happiness which, because they were buried under a mass of theological trimmings, were not adorning the human family, were not giving to it the joy and comfort which they possess. Some there are who hold tenaciously to their creeds and dogmas. May they find happiness in them. As for me, I prefer a creedless faith to a faithless creed. Whatever there be in your faith and mine that makes us brothers in fact, in act, and in spirit is godly. Whatever divides us, whatever comes between us is unfair to both you and me and is man-made. When, as individuals, we learn to love each other, then the world's problems will have been solved. The tragedy of man's inhumanity to man, for which some distorted minds find sanction in the word of Holy Writ and in the name of God—a God of Love, Creator and Father of us all —that tragedy will no longer darken man's horizon, when we shall have returned to the fundamentals and elcmentals of Religion. I pray God to spare me, to inspire me with wisdom, that I may continue the ::voice that crieth in the wilderness."
