The years from 1827 to 1832 pared himself carefully, and happy with him and the masses

of the South ha,d no affection for him. He was a Southerner politically, not spiritually. The electorate never identified with him nor he with them. Davis, however, then named him to the most important job in the cabinet, secretary of state. He was the brain of the Confederacy. It was his task to secure recognition of the new country by the great European powers. He failed, of, course. Thr tide of war had turned against the South; U.S. Grant was in the saddle. In this hour of need as the South (ottered and struggled to keep her footing, Benjamin attemped one of the boldest strokes in history. He was prepared to enfranchise the slaves if they Would only fight for the Confederacy. This meant that he was prepared to live with them as free men, free Americans. He promised England to eman. cipate the slaves if the British came to the aid of the South. But fate had passed the South by; it was to be another hundred years before the states south of the Mason-Dixon Line would even begin according Blacks any .degree of political equality. • • , . •-

Lee surrendered, and Benjamin, a fugitive, fled to England. There at the age of fiftyfive he was admitted to th«. bar, and Almost over'night, he bacem one of the outstanding. lawyers of the Empire. Judah P. Benjamin died in Paris at his wife's home in 1084. It is the judgment of history that lie was a great American, but what manner of Jew was he? Beyond the accident of birth he was no Jew* at all. He could not even be "goaded by anti-Jewish, prejudice to align himself with Jews: Even when this pro-slavery man was taunted 'by a Northern senator as "an Israelite with Egyptian principles," he was apparently unmoved. Both in the North and ;in the South, he was attacked as a Jew, but this man of talmudie mind went calmly ahead, unruffled, undisturbed, unmoved; —as far as we know. He; never even became a Jew by'resentment. There is no record that he ever did anything of a positive active nature to-express overt sympathy with the Jews. He shared with them an ancestry—and nothing'

FOCUS Our World Is a Mess! By RABBI JACOB HECHT What has happened to the United States? Some of the things we read and hear about today are almost unbelievable. Policemen being shot down in cold blood. Students planting bombs in government buildings. Youth by the millions hooked on drugs; Pornography sold openly on the streets. (: Our- world is a mess, and no one seems to want to do anything .about it, or know what to do about it. Parents throw up their( hands and plead ineffectiveness. Teachers cannot maintain discipline, let alone teach.-Religious leaders watch what is going on, but somehow are apart from everything. And the government is often the biggest joke of all. Instead of worrying about governing, it seems more interested in its press.

I am afraid that if we looked for parallels in history,, we would hot like .what we find. The stories of ancient Assyria and imperial Rome, just before the fall, were something we only read about in books. But now our nation is going J.Hecht through the same terriblo excesses they did.

By MRS. MORRIS C. FELLMAN "The people who live at the HOME arc residents, not inmate's" was one of the thoughts expressed at the first meeting ' of the Resident's Council last week, That's what LOVE is all about—making the 64 adults who live at the Dr. Philip Sher Home for thcAged feel they are part of a family living in a home where there is LOVE and concern and understanding. - The Resident's Council, one, of the recent Innovations of 'LOVE, is giving the residents an opportunity to express their hopes and desires. Miriam Simon, chairman of LOVE, and Pearl Yager, Director of Family Service for the-Federation, were delighted and-enthusiastic about the participation of the residents in the discussions. I'll keep you posted on the progress of this Council and its officers as they meet to plan activities and air their thoughts. •

Iowa Jewish Home Answers Many Needs (This is the first in a series of articles on the Iowa Jewish Home, its facilities and services, and its place iff the~ community.) ~ Des Moines—The story of the Iowa Jewish Home began in 1934 when Rachel and Esther Younker donated their private residence at 1620 Pleasant to be used as a Jewish Home for the Aged. Continued growth and expanded needs, made necessary the construction in 1960 of the present building on the original site. The buff brick- building provides beds for 42 residents, with a majority of private rooms. _'.. A synagogue, highlighted by a wall of stained glass windows, provides the residents with an unusual religious'sanctuary. Services are held every Friday night.
