SARA’S COLUMN By SARA MESSING STERN

MICHAEL BAMBERGER, son of the Herman Bambergers, pioneers of our Jewish community, formed the Sisterhood of the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation back in October, 1917. He called a meeting in the vestry of the Temple, organized and appointed the officers, among them Mrs. Louis M. Efroymson as president. At the first meeting, Mrs. Simon L. Kiser presented a musical program; Mrs. Ruth Spencer sang a group of traditional Jewish songs; Harold Jaffe played a violin solo, “Kol Nidre." Mrs. Simon Kiser, who played the accompaniments said, “He played Kol Nidre as it had never been played before. The tears streamed down the cheeks of all those present.” At the December meeting, the late Mrs. David A. Kahn (nee Lillie Bamberger) organized the local Hebrew Union College Scholarship Fund and served as its chairman until the illness which preceded her death. Mrs. Efroymson served only one year when an election was held and the late Mrs. Harry A. Jacobs (nee Naomi Marer) was elected president. • * • PVT. ROBERT KUSSELL LEVIN and Pvt. David Pearlman of Lafayette, who, when they first reached Africa discovered they had come over in the same convoy, saw service in Italy, were flown back to Africa for hospitalization and discovered each other there. They are taking treatment for frozen feet but are not idle. Pvt. Levin is in the payroll division and Pvt. Pearlman in the kitchen supplies of a base hospital. Both hope to be able to walk by spring. Pvt. Levin is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Levin, and Pvt. Pearlman, of Mr. and Mrs. Lou Pearlman of Lafayette. • * * THESE SOLDIER BOYS overseas do make their mothers’ hearts beat with pride. Arnold Marks, w'riting from England considerately tells his mother please to send “some lovely gifts for some lovely ladies.” It seems he has been entertained royally at an estate in England where there are five beautiful young daughters. So Leah Marks sent money to her daughter, Sarah Elizabeth, in New York, to buy strictly American gifts—luxuries like cosmetics or handkerchiefs, prohibitive over there but taken as a matter of course hei’e. Mrs. Marks has two other sons in service. Pvt. Martin Marks is in A. P. C., Miami, Fla., and Lt. Henry Marks, is with the Armored Infantry at Camp Campbell, Ky. And Mi’s. Charles Larman is the proud possessor of real Irish linen handkerchiefs and towels sent by her son, Lt. Leonard Larman, stationed with the Army Signal Corps in Ireland. • * * CONGRATULATIONS to Lt. and Mrs. Benjamin Lieberman, 2930 Park Ave., who, on March 3, celebrated their 32nd wedding anniversary. Mrs. Lieberman, the former Rose Unger, daughter of Hyman and the late Rose Unger, has lived in Indianapolis more than 44 years and her husband, 49 years. Rabbi Mayer Messing married them. They have two daughters, Mrs. Leon Maybruck of Springfield, O., and Miss Julia Lieberman of Indianapolis. Mrs. Lieberman has been active in Beth-El Zedeck Sisterhood and in the Eastern Star. Her husband, on August 7, will celebrate his 35th year with the City Fire Department. * * ♦ THERE WERE NO ONIONS in Indianapolis for more than a week. I was commissioned by my sister to buy some in Lafayette where I spent the week-end. So I did. At 8 p. m. at night when I got home, I phoned sister I’d put the bag of onions on the back porch, leave the porch door unlocked and she could pick them up. “No, indeed!” She seemed horror struck at the idea. “Why someone might steal two or three. They are as valuable as gold nuggets.” So—I took them over to her! * * * Indiana University extension division has a prisoner of war in (Continued on page 8)
