Time Moves Rapidly Bat No! Mercifully
iiy NATHAN ZIPRIN Time in our space age moves rapidly but not mercifully. Year after year in recent decades the world has been grappling with crisis after crisis and still there is no sign of a receding of the madness. EACH YEAR we hoped the ensuing one would bring the world back to clarity, to vision for survival, but always the script was unchanged as if the hand of the scribe were steeped in doom, determined to crush our hopes and •ur covenant with ourselves. The last page is now closed on 1961, and there is no urge to turn its pages back, for they were invariably blurred. There was no radiance on the horizon last year. If there was any balm at all it rested merely in respite from ex-
plosion.
We like to think of a new year
and occasional chronicler of its story and impact.

On Dec. 3, 1928, the American Jewish Committee leader Louis Marshall wrote of Yeshiva College: “I have been absolutely opposed from the very beginning to the creation of such a college. It is destined to failure and is sure to do much harm to the best ’ :^s of Jews in America.” On Nov. 21, 1961, another American Jewish Committee president, Louis Caplan, wrote: “The work of Yeshiva University in its 75 year history has greatly enriched the American Jewish religious and cultural scene. It has played a significant role in achieving the respect in which Judaism is held in the Unit-
ed States.”
Caplan’s views truly reflect the rising tide in public acceptance of yeshivoth and their related insiti-
tutious.
The word “yeshiva” over the centuries held a powerful grip on the Jewish imagination. In ancient days it was Yavneh and Pumpedita that dominated Jewish though Later our people were molded by yeshivoth in all areas of Jewish concentration in the world. IN MY YOUNG days it was Mir and Volozhin that conjured up pictures of scholarship and piety in the Jewish enclaves of Eastern Europe. Today, the word yeshiva conjures up America and its Jewish community. Yeshiva has thus become synonymous with Jewish living, with the Jewish future in America. Some weeks ago 1 was watching « TV program on which Bennet Cerf of Random House was a panelist. He was to guess the occupation of a man who identified himself as “Y.” Cerf speculated the man’s name and then came up with an interesting association —- Y, he said, stood for yeshiva. As a former student of the Yeshiva in the pre-Revel days, 1 am piivileged to have been vritness

Vandalism Against Jews On Decline
New York (WNS) A sharp national decline in incidence of vandalism directed against Jewish institutions was disclosed this week by the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith in a report which said that 158 such incidents were recorded in 1961 as against 814 in I960 Most of the incidents, the ADL said, involved young people and there was no reliable information to determine to what extent those incidents were due to anti-Semit-tic motivation or simple vandalism. In New York City, according to the ADL, there were eleven cases of swastika daubings, cemetery desecrations and synagogue vandalism, or one-tenth of the cases reported in 1960 in the aftermath of the worldwide swastika-smear-ing epidemic that was set off by the synagogue desecration in Cologne, Germany, on Christmas Eve, 1959.

Sharah Tefilah Men, Auxiliary To Meet Starting with the meeting to be held at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 7, the Ladies’ Auxiliary of Congregation Sharah Tefilla will hold their monthly meeting concurrently with that of the men. The change was made, according to Mrs. Louis F. Bernstein, president of the auxiliary, to increase attendance by eliminating the difficulty of transportation and to encourage more wom-
en to join.
A campaign has been launched by the auxiliary to enroll new members. Any single, married or widowed woman is eligible. An innovation to be introduced with Sunday’s meeting will be the serving of refreshments by the aux* diary following each meeting.

(Sudden thought — Why does it have to be a “tragedy” to bring family and friends together! With a little “judgment”, “understanding” and sometimes forgiveness, it uld just as well be “happiness” for a get-together. So to all of you, a healthy and prosperous New Year, and remember, love thy neighbors and friends. FLASH . . . There were four couples who made four parties (they were invited) New Year’s Eve! Started at 10 and ended at 2! Here’s the payoff! All four parties were in a six-block area! They went and returned to each place twice! (Editor’s note: Sorry, Norm, had to cut your column.)
