ANNUAL

PRIZE DISTRIB UTION.

The newly enlarged and decorated 'ynagogue \.ms crowded on Sunday afternoon when the annual prize di tribution took place. In the absence of the Chairman of the Talmud Torah, the chaiT ·wa ~ taken b~· l\lr. Y. Rifkin, President of the Congregation.

.Jfr. Rifkin welcomed the Rev. A.

P. Bender, and reminded the aud- ience that it was oYer 25 year ago ince i\Ir. Bender had laid the foundation stone of their ynagogue, and during this period the reverend gentleman had always willingly associated himself vvith their func- tions when called upon.

Mr. I. D. Fryde, hon. secretatry of the Talmud Torah, then gave a brief report of the activities of the Talmud Torah and mentioned that the financial position of the chool was e::.>dremely sound and that 65 children were attending the classes.

It was the intention of the Commit- tee to inaugurate Sabbath afternoon classes e peciall y for the children, and the teachers were giving equal attention to the teaching of Hebrew as a language a well as using it as the medium in which to teach the children the ancient rites and cus- toms of their religion.

The Re\". A. P. Bender, in his address, congratulated the Commit- tee of the Talmud Torah on the excellent re ults of their labours and ''ished the officers prolonged life of devoted service to the noble cause of education. He was delighted, he

~aid, to see the magnificent re ult of renovating and redecorating their Synagogue. It was i..J.deed "a very Hou e of God." He impressed upon the gathering the stressing need for a sound spiritual training for the children and declared that it was the home and not the Synagogue that furnished the proper environ- ment for such training. The "true mothers in I rael " were the only

ones who could ensure the children practising the highe t ideals of Jewish life, and he wa. intleed glad to hear that Sabbath afternoon cla es were to be inaugurated.

The rnverend gentleman concluded

by .tatincr that the 'Yynbera Cono-re-

t. b b

ga ion would be invited to partici- pate in a movement for the f edera- tion of yna_gogues from the Cape to the Zambesi. Whilst each Congre- gation would retain its own identity one Board, fully representativ~:

would manage the broader and more general ail'airs of the ynagogue.

and a move would be made to feder- ate firstly the Penin ula Synagogue, in the early part of the year, when adva:µtage would be taken of the Congres of the S.A. Jewish Board of Deputie , which thi time wa~ being held in Cape Town, and when repre entatives of mo t of the yna- gogues would be in Cape Town. He spoke of the benefits of such a feder- ation and hoped that Wynberg in line with other Congregations \VOuld send delegates to the preliminary meetings which he, 1\Ir. Bende;

intended calling. '

A hort mu ical prognm1me contributed by the children, wa then pre ented after which Mr. Bender pre ented the prizes) congratulating the prize-winners and encouraging those who had not been ...,nccessful to do better in the future.

Before the proceeding clo eel with the singing of the " Hatikvah," the BcY. Mr. Bender congratulated the teacher., the Rev. Gordon and Mr.

Rabinowitz, on the excellent results obtained and complimented the hon.

secretary for his untiring efforts on behalf of the Talmud Torah.

After the children had dispersed, Rabbi Schwartz, a vi itor from over- seas, addre~ ed the older member~

and wa given an attentive hearing.

DUTing the afternoon, a speech in Hebrew was delivered by Master Jack Brau de and an Engli h one by Master Philip hock, and Hebrew recitations were aiven by Master Selwyn Myer and the l\iis e Yel- fand and Esther Chait.

IN AND AROUND THE PENINSULA.

(Continued from previous page).

from the Talmud and Gaonic writ- ings, in ·which the Rabbi found abundant material in upport of his observations and opinions. To many of the Talmudical scholars present.

the discourse brought memories of their days in the Yeshivos long, long ago. 'l'he keen interest aroused in the lecture was evinced by the great number of tho e pre ent anxious to contribute their opinions on the subject, and it i worthy of note that as late as 7.30 in the evening the discussion was not yet concluded. It will be resumed on another occasion.

The proceedings were enlivened by many song, including " Y echi

773

Agudoseinu," given lustily by the whole gathering.

On Saturday next, the 30th, Mr.

N atas will speak on the ' :N" ational Fund, the foundation of our free- dom." Members and vi itors cordi- ally invited.

Dr. Louis Blumberg.

I have much plea ure in learning that Dr. Loui Bhunberg ha.s again been appointed As istant Medical Officer of Health for Cape Tmvn.

Dr. Blumbercr i one of the more promising of our youn crer medical men. He i" e:\.-tremely interested in public health work and in the pro- motion of the larger welfare of the Community as a 'vhole. He has ful- filled with distinction various po i- tion., in the public ervice, having acted a Port Health Officer on more than one occa ·ion and as u perin- tendent of the New Somerset Ho - pital, of which he i now the Hon.

Registrar. Dr. Blumberg is al o a very popular lecturer at the hospital and for St. John's Ambulance As. ociation. It is very plea ing to find a young Jew taking such a wide inte1·e t in civic matter.

Bris Melah.

My best wishes to go to the Rev.

and Mr.. S. Kibel upon the birth of their infant son, Mo es Aaron.

The Bris Melah took place at the residence of the Rev. Kibel in Hat- field treet la t Thursday. The ceremony was performed by the Rev.

Kibel himself in the presence of the Rev. A. P. Bender and the R v.

Kibel' colleagues.

To Mr. l\1. Eilenberg fell th Mitzvah of placing the child on the Chair of Elijah. Dr. Bernstein acted as Sandig and Dr. Berelowitz held the child for naming. Amongst those present were the President and Vice-President and other prominent member or the congregation. Mr.

and Mrs. S. Cassel acted as Kwater to the baby.

Mrs. Katzin.

There left for Europe la t Friday Mr . Katzin, a lady who i well known in Cape Town for her many- sided social activitie . Mr. Katzin, who own N annucci's, left for Eur- ope some months ago, where Mr . Katzin is to join him. Mrs. Katzin is the mother of Winnie Katzin, a playwright and traaslator well known in America, and at present in Berlin_, and of Olga Katzin (Mr . H. Miller), the dramatic elocutionist and writer. The latter came to London from New York with her two children to meet her parent . Mrs. Katzin' youngest daughter.

Norah, i t the moment al o in London enjoying a round of the theatres for she, too, i greatly interested in the drama. Mrs. Katzin's meeting with the scattered members of her family will therefore be in the nature of a re-union.
