A. Z. A. CELEBRATES
25th ANHITERSART
By Howard Sudit, Charleston. S. C.
In the city of Omaha. Nebraska, on May 3. 1924, a babe was born.
This babe, founded by Sam Beber. then a young man with broad
vision and high ideals, was named Aleph Zadik Aleph. The babe.
or organization, whichever you prefer to call it. began to grow im
mediately. At the first national convention held in Omaha on July
4 to 6. 1924. there were four chapters.
In April, 1925, when the order
numbered seven chapters, Mr.
Beber went to the national con
vention of B’nai B’rith to seek a
father for this parentless child.
After a stirring speech by the late
Henry Monsky, later President of
B’nai B’rith and Chairman of the
B’nai B’rith Youth Organization
(8.8.Y.0.), the Order of B’nai
'B’rith recognized that here was
ihe beginning of a strong Ameri
can Jewish Youth movement, and
a t the age of 82 years adopted the
eleven months old A. Z. A.
Aleph Zadik Aleph are not just
letters chosen at random from
the Hebrew Alphabet. The first
Aleph stands for "Ahavoh",
Brotherly love; Zadik, for "T'sda
]£3h". benevolence, and the last
Aleph, for "Acholoos", harmony.
You have most probably asked
yourself why this organization
Iwas founded and what is its pur
pose? This can best be answered
by its constitution: ‘‘The Aleph
Zadik Aleph of the B’nai B’rith
Youth Organization has for its
purpose: the spiritual, mental,
and physical development of
Jewish Youth; the inculcation of
■a love and understanding of their
Jewish Cultural heritage; the
stimulation of responsibility as
good citizens in the community
in which they live, as well as in
the larger Jewish community; the
encouragement of good will a
nong the youth of all peoples,
and interest in humanitarian,
ihilanthropic and educational en
deavors.”
Every A. Z. A. chapter works
ilong these principles and those
sf the Seven Cardinal Virtues of
ts Creed: Patriotism, Judaism,
’ilial Love, Charity, Conduct,
hirity, and Fraternity, and its
'Five Fold and Full Program"
Dutlined by Dr. Boris D. Bogen in !
July, 1928: Religious Activity, at- j
endance at services, the encour
gement and development of Ju
lior Congregations, observance

of National A. Z. A. Sabbath
(second Sabbath of November);
community service, regular con
tributions to communal enter
prises, participation in drives,
aiding the community at large in
every way possible; cultural
activity, the planning and execu
tion of programs to increase
knowledge, develop talent and
stimulate interest in important
Jewish, national, and world af
fairs, publication of newspapers,
tournaments in debate and ora
tory. sponsorship of Youth Broth
erhood rallies: Social, celebration
of Jewish Festivals, sponsorship
of plays, banquets, dances, tour
naments to bring together other
alephs of other chapters and
' cities, programs for non-Jewish
groups, and a National A. Z. A.
Parents' Day, (second Sunday in
May): Athletics, sponsorship of
basketball tournaments as well as
other sports.
And all A. Z. A. is doing ex
actly as outlined above. Perhaps
this is why it has survived a de
pression and lived through a war
and has succeeded where other
fraternities have failed and is
recognized in every community
as an outstanding organization.
In its brief history, A. Z. A. has
accomplished much. Among the
many achievements are: coopera
tion with the Boy Scouts, Jewish
Community Centers, Synagogues,
Community Chest, and many
other Jewish and non-Jewish
community projects, has planted
a virtual forest in Israel in the
name of the late Henry Lapidus,
raised $2,500 for maintenance of
50 British children, raised SIO,OOO
for a brother aleph, Jerry Safur,
an infantile paralysis victim; dur
ing the war chapters throughout
the nation helped in all drives
and sold over $8,343,720 worth of
bonds; after the war sent pack
ages to needy families and also
sent religious and educational ar
ticles to small cities in Europe.
With a father such as B’nai
B’rith, A. Z. A. has grown and
spread throughout the United
States, Canada, England, France,
Israel, and China to number over
600 chapters with over 13,000 ac
tive members.
Yes, B'nai B'rith, now in its
106th year, can look at its
twenty-five year old child and
say to Sam Beber, its founder,
and the many men and women
that aided this brilliant man,
congratulations for a job well
done.
