Mr, Aaron M. Neustfidt, Jewish Chronicle, 232J/$ N. High St., Colnmbus, Ohio. Dear Mr. Neustadt:

Rabbis Levinger and Rivlin
to Adress Open Meeting
Of Training School
Work   of   School   Is' Receiving Much Praise In Local Relig¬ ious and Cultural Circles
Rabbi Lee J. Levinger, director of the B'nai BVith Hillcl Foundation, will dis¬ cuss Confucianism and Zoroa^itrianism at tbc Jewish Religious Teachers' Training School next Tuesday evening, at 7:-!I0 p. m. Rabbi i^olomon RivHii of East Broad Street Temple will continue his lecture on thc Evolution of Judaism and will talk on the Social and Religious Messages-of thc Prophets.
Thc Hebrew Religion has hcen divided into four stages—nomadic, agriculturhl, prophetic, and legalistic—Rabbi Rivlin said last Tuesday evening. In its edited state, the Bible represents a higher type of thought than that of when many of the stories were originated.
The ancestors of the Hebrews were idolators. In the agricultural state, the power was centralized,' evidencing a rise above nomadic animism. Rabbi Rivlin believes that at the revelation at Mt. Sinai, the Jews had attained religious heights, but remained idolatrous in spirit. Moses was not a pure monothcist, but he looked upon God as the most pmver- fiil God, not as the only God. It took 300 years for pure monotheism to penp- trate through thc masses. The Hebrews at first had a limited conception of Je¬ hovah, the belief in His universality coming later, and culminating in Ezekiel.
"Christianity today represents the teachings of Paul, rather tlian those of Jesus," Rabbi Jacob Tarshish said in his discussion of the life and teachings of Paul. Paul took the life and teachings of JcsMS, as he saw them, gave them-his own interpretations, and spread them throughout the civilized world.
Paul, before becoming ^ Roman, was named Saul of Tarsus. He was a Jew, one of the persecutors of thc Judeo- Christian Church- With him, we get a background of Hellenism and Greek mysteries. Subject to visions, he saw Jesus, who asked Saul why he perse¬ cuted Him. He was thereupon converted, and instead of being a persecutor of the Judeo-Christians, he became an adherent. Failing to give his teachings to the Jews, he became their enemy.
He came in conflict with the Judeo- Christian Church on the subject* of cir¬ cumcision. Paul did not insist upon this ceremony for a proselyte, and the Judeo- Christians did. In a conference he won the other group over to his way.
Paul's teachings differed from Jesus in that he made the Holy Spirit an actuality, believed Jesus,to be God's son in thc flesh, whose crucifixion atoned for the suffering world; and in that he gave a magical interpretation to Jewish and Judeo-Christian ceremonials. Funda¬ mentals were that flesh and sin are synonyinoui,; that salvation lay In faith; and that law was the cause of trans¬ gression.

As yet the topic to be discussal by the speaker has not been announced; however, it will deal with some phase of Jewish life and achieve¬ ment.

He was educated at Lowell High School, San Francisco; the University Cincinnati, the Hebrew Union Col¬ lege, and the University of California, which granted him thc degree of LL. B. in \\)\\.

Attracting Attention
Even great .American newspapers like The New York Times, The New York World, The Philadelphia Public Led¬ ger, and The Chicago Daily Tribune, have lately been taking cognizance of what thc Imlcpendent Order of B'nai B'rith is doing to alleviate thc wants of the poor and the needy antl to aid and succor victims of persecution. Promi¬ nent Gentiles who have visited the Na¬ tional Jewish Hospital for Consump¬ tives at Denver, thc Leo N. Levi Memo¬ rial Hospital at Hot Springs, Ark., and the Cleveland Jewish, Orphan Home, have gone away impressed with the sub¬ lime purposes and activities of the Order. Why You  Should  Join
You should become a member of the B'nai B'rith because (1) the Order is the largest and oldest Jewish Fraternity, with Lodges in America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. It is thus able to represent and help World Jewry. (2) It unites Jews—Orthodox, Conservative, Reform —in the work of promoting their high¬ est interests and those of hu,inanity. It strives to bring about a belter under¬ standing among Jews and between Jew and non-Jew. Through lectures and cul¬ tural programs it entertains and instructs its members and thc pubHc in subjects Of Jewish and general interests. (3) Through the Anti-Defamation I-eague, it champions the cause of Israel and pro¬ tects the Jew against ridicule, misrepre¬ sentation and slander on printed page, screen, and stage. (4) It established the Jewish .Orphan Home at Cleveland, the National Jewish Hospital for Consump¬ tives at Denver, and built the new In¬ firmary building there. It helps support these, the Leo N. Levi Hospital at Hot Springs, and many other institutions where orphan, afflicted and aged are cared for. The Order is active also in social service and Americanization work. (5) In emergencies, like the Pueblo flood, Lorain tornado, Mississippi flood, Florida hurricane, etc., it has joined with
other organii'ations itl affording prompt relief. (C) It has instituted Hillcl Foundations in a number of leading uni¬ versities. These provide young Jewish college men and women with social and religious centers, developing Jewish con¬ sciousness and inspiring loyalty to the faith of their fathers. (7) It sponsors the A. Z. A. (Junior B'nai B'rith) composed of Jewish boys from sixteen to twenty-one, keeping alive their Jew¬ ish interest, and preparing thcin for fu-

(9) It is solving the immigration problem in Mexico by assisting thousands of Jewish immigrants, financially, religiously • and socially. (10) It has established a Gar¬ den City in the suburbs of Jerusalem to help Jews own homes, and has given funds to build a center in Tel Aviv. Grasp The Opportunity
Yon help all these causes and more when you join the B'nai BVith.'
We are happy to note that Zion Lodge of Columbus, Ohio, takes rank among the outstanding lodges in the entire order. And so when any reader of the Chronicle is approached regarding mem¬ bership in this lodge he should grasp the opi>ortunity. We assure him and all others who are on thc prospective list that thty will enjoy thc opportunities for service and mental and moral advance¬ ment that this lodge will afford them. We are hoping that the degree team of Zion Lodge will be in a position to in¬ duct at least seventy-five new members at the next initiation ceremony.
