Rabbi Rosenbloom will preach on free of charge I An enthusiastic audience greeted \lfied M. Cohen, international president of B'nai B'rith, discuss- ing 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 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. Jewish News Around the World .-),000 Palestine Immigration Cer- tificates to Be Distributed Jan. 1 JerusalemFive thousand new immigration certificates will be distributed for allocation to va- rious countries in January, accord- ing to an announcement by the Jewi-h Agency. The Agency Ex- ecutive, in sending these certifi- cates, will urge that they be used immediately in view of the great demand for labor during tho orange picking season, which will be at its height then. The Jewish Agency is arranging for special steamers in various European ports so as to expedite the arrival of the new chalutzim. JerusalemThe Palestine gov- ernment's surplus is now $ 17,500,- 000 as the result of the addition of a 5,000,000 reserve for the first nine months of 1934, according to the Palestine Gazette, official gov- ernment publication. Jewish Agency Administrative Committee to Meet in New York LondonFor the first time since the creation of the Jewish Agency for Palestine its administration committee will meet in the United States. An announcement by the Agency Executive here revealed that the committee will hold its next session in New York on De- cember 31. The chief business of the meeting will be to devise means of strengthening the American sec- tion of the Agency. A complete report of the work of te Execu- tive will be made. Among the European members of the commit- tee sailing for America shortly are Sir Osmond d'Avigdor Goldsmid, Prof. Selig Brodetsky, Dr. Bernard Kahn. Neville Laski. Catholic Priest Turns Convert to Judaism WarsawA sensation was caused here today among Jews and non- Jews when a Catholic priest was converted to Judaism. The priest, whose name is Joseph Sumina, adopted the Jewish name of Abram ben Abram, which is usually given to converts to Juda- ism. He is twenty-nine years old and has been residing in Lublin, Poland. Indictment of Kosher Meat Inspec- tor Complicities Kashruth Issue the ' portion of the week in Yiddish.

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." Pm Two 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.

The meeting was adjourned I with the announcement that the 1 next of the symposiums would be held on Tuesday evening, January 15th, at Beth Jacob Congregation.

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.

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 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.

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 attendance. The mutuels have been exceedingly popular with dog enthusiasts 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 evening's entertainment, with especially well matched entries in the second and fourth races, which constitute 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.

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 Christiansonly the voice and its messagethe 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-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 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 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 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 Goda 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."
