Page Eight Learning Through Doing Training Leaders for the Jewish Community of Tomorrow By JULIUS BISNO How Aleph Zadik Aleph, B’nai B’rith’s youth organiza tion, is training leaders for the American Jewish com munity of tomorrow by means of a day to day program of communal service known as the learning through do ing process is described in this timely article by Mr. Bisno, executive director of Aleph Zadik Aleph.—Editor Not so many weeks ago, the Jewish press headlined a dramatic report from Montreal telling of a Talmud Torah building which had been reclaimed by a group of young boys from anti-Semites, who had turned it into their headquart ers when the dwindling Jewish population of the Papineau district found it necessary to rent the structure to non- Jews. Thanks to the efforts of these youngsters, who had organized themselves into the B’nai Sholem chapter of Aleph Zadik Aleph, B’nai B’rith’s youth organization, not only did the Mogen David and the Menorah displace the swastika, but the whole Papineau Jewish community was revived un der the inspiration of the A.Z.A. boys. Today the Talmud Torah is the center of all Jewish communal efforts in a bustling Jewish neighborhood. This narrative is but one of scores that can be cited at ran dom from the records of A.Z.A. to emphasize the participation of the various chapters in the com munal life of their communities. Hewing fast to a cardinal princi ple of A.Z.A.—communal service —the members of B’nai B’rith’s B’NAI B’RITH PRESIDENT HENRY MONSKY youth daily perform tasks inti mately related to the welfare of the American Jewish community. One of the most striking in stances of A.Z.A. service to a com munity was the two-year census “Best Wishes for a | Happy New Year” | ★ S. H. KRESS COMPANY | of the Jewish population of Salt Lake City taken by the chapter there. An identical undertaking was sponsored by the chapter in Shenango, Pa. In both instances A.Z.A. made it possible for com munity leaders to gauge more in telligently the communal needs of their people. In Lorain, Ohio, and Flint, Mich., A.Z.A. chapters edit and publish the community’s only Jewish paper. Recognizing the importance of philanthropy in American Jewish life, A.Z.A. chapters make it a practice to organize or participate in the junior division of welfare fund drives and campaigns of the united Jewish Appeal. In Wor cester, Mass., the Welfare federa tion’s junior drive was an A.Z.A. undertaking while in Portland, Oregon, the A.Z.A. chapters con stituted themselves as the junior division of a JDC campaign, soli citing funds from all other youth groups. In Milwaukee, one chap ter was a committee as a whole for the Jewish Welfare Fund cam paign. All chapters participate in one way or another in local philan thropies. Through the medium of Passover baskets for the less-for tunate, Chanukah parties at or phanages, Purim plays at homes for the aged, and a wide variety of other holiday festivals, the mem bers help enhance Jewish living among those who would otherwise be sadly impoverished without Happy New Year to our many friends . . .
