in this week’s mail we received a letter from Robert A.
Persky, prominent Augusta attorney, who„ is the Southeast
president of Z.O.A. Bob writes that an important Z.O.A.
meeting is being planned for the executive and national ad
ministrative council during the latter part of August in New
York City at which time a definite policy will be implemented
for the new administration. In addition to Persky, members
of the Southeast region to the national executive include:
Seymour B. Liebman of Miami Beach and Sol P. Benamy
of Atlanta. Ben Winick of Knoxville was elevated to a vice
presidency of the national office. Bob also has named the
following six Southeasterners as members of the national
administrative council: Leo Burson of Memphis, Israel Katz
of Atlanta, Mrs. Hannah Kirschner of Nashville, S. A. Good
man of Miami Beach, 3idney Mazer of Birmingham and
Arthur Pariser of Orlando.
We congratulate all of the above-mentioned Zionists and
trust that their deliberations for the coming year will be
fruitful and successful.
Jewish communities throughout the Southeast are urged
to get behind their local Zionist leaders and help build up
a strdng Z.O.A. so that our people can give the maximum
assistance to the new state of Israel.

Now that the excitement of the
national Zionist Organization of
America's convention and election
of a new president has cooled off
(despite the heat!) the Southeast re
gion is making plans to participate
in the over-all program of the new
administration. It is no secret that
the Southeast's favorite son candi
date, Mortimer May, helped tremen
dously when he stepped out of the
picture in favor of Rabbi Irving Mil
ler who subsequently defeated
Abraham Redelheim for Z. O. A.'s
highest office.
THE SOUTHERN JEWISH WEEKLY
A Fourth of
July Story
BY DAVID SCHWARTZ
(Copyright, 1952, Jewish
Telegraphic Agency, Inc.)
This is a true story. A story of
a little sociable drink which Jew
ish Brigadier Kisch, chief of the
British Eighth Army engineers
once fixed up for the Nazis on a
Fourth of July. The story of a salt
water cocktail which saved the
Jews of Palestine and brought
about the defeat of all the great
hopes of the Nazi Marshal Rom
mel, the Desert Fox. about whom
Hollywood gave us recently a pic
ture. If Hollywood wants to make
a story about the desert warfare
of the second World War, they
don't have to go looking to make
heroes out of Nazis. There is a
better story about the Jewish
Brigadier Kisch.
It is near El Alamein, Brigadier
Kisch is sitting in his tent, sur
rounded by his aides.
First aide: General, we are all
ready.
Brigadier Kisch: The Pipes?
First aide: All joined, sir.
Second aide: They say that
Rommel has already notified his
agents in Cairo that he will be
there in 48 hours. Has even made
arrangements for female com
pany at Shepherds Hotel.
First aide: Sir. shall we flush
them for possible leaks? Briga
dier Kirsch: (Lights a cigarette
and talks out loud as though
thinking to himself.) "If they
should break through, what a ter
rible price we should have to pay.
Os course, the Jews of Paleseiine
would be completely destroyed.
The Nazis would take special de
light in that. But that would only
be the beginning. If the Nazis
win the Middle East, what is to
prevent them from making a
junction with the Japs from the
Far East. The Japs and the Ger
mans together—what a hell that
would be!
First aide: Yes, that’s what the
London military commentator
said over the radio last night. He
declared that the whole Allied
cause may be decided in the des
ert. But this water may help us.
Our soldiers will not be madden
ed by thirst. How terrible is
thirst! Lack of food may weaken
you and make you feel faint but
lack of water is maddening. And
besides, General, how much more
mobile our forces will now be. All
those scores of water tank cars
can be dispensed with.
Second aide: Sir, that was a
great idea of yours to lay pipes
connecting the army with the
Alexandria water works and I
must say the Jews in Tel Aviv
who have been busy making
these pipes have done a good job.
Second aide: Sir, it may be a
good omen that today is the great
holiday of. the Fourth of July.
Brigadier Kisch perks his head
up and smiles. "Yes, that is a
good omen for all freedom loving
peoples."
First aide: Sir, shall we turn on
the water and flush for leaks?
Brigadier Kisch: Wail a minute.
Let me see. Yes, of course, we
must turn on the water, but there
is no use of wasting good sweet
water for flushing for leaks. Even
with pipes, in this part of the
world there is never enough
sweet water. For flushing for
leaks we can use salt water. It
may be that the Nazi rats will
try to tap in our pipes and if so,
they won't like the salt water.
The next scene takes place
three hours later.
First aide: (Very excitedly)
General, the Nazis are coming in
with their hands high up in the
air shouting Kamerad. They are
surrendering without any shoot-
The Jewish
Quiz Box
BY RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX
(Copyright, 1952, Jewish
Telegraphic, Agency, Inc.)
QUESTION: What is the "Ke- 1
dusha?"
ANSWER: “Kedusha” is the
term applied to the prayers of
sanctification. This represents
that section of the daily prayers
that sanctify G-d’s name. The es
sential part of these prayers are
two verses, one from the Book of
Isaiah (6:3) which proclaims the
well known words: “Holy, Holy,
Holy, is the Lord of Hosts, etc.”
and one from the Book of Ezekiel
(3:12) which proclaims “Blessed
be the Glory of the Lord, etc.”
These are the statements that the
two aforementioned prophets
heard from the angels in Heaven
when they beheld their visions.
The fact that the Jew recites
these daily raises him to the
status of the angels in paying
tribute to the Lord. The “Ke
dusha” is recited a number of
times in the prayers—once, when
the prayers pay tribute to the
creation of the world and its lu
minaries and again in the course
of the series of benedictions of
the “Shamona Esre.” And again
towards the end of the service.
Brigadier Kisch smiles: “I had
a premonition something like this
might happen.
What had happened was that
the Nazis had tapped in on the
pipe line built by General Kisch's
men. When they tapped in, they
were of course disappointed to
find that it was salt water, but
crazed by thirst, they could not
deny themselves the immediate
relief which the salt water afford
ed. However, in a few minutes
the salt only intensified their
thirst, and they began to sur
render.
And so it was that the first
surrender of Rommel’s forces in
the desert began—the beginning
of their complete collapse. And
this day which marked this au
spicious beginning was the Fourth
of July.

QUESTION: Why is the Ke
dusha recited at different times?
ANSWER: Man in his prayers
acts like the angels and earns his
reward for testifying to the holi
ness of G-d. The Kedusha is par
ticularly mentioned when man
recites the creation of the world
in his prayers so that it does not
appear that he worships the crea
tions; but rather the Creator, lest
he appear to be worshipping the
sun, the moon, etc. In the course
of the regular benedictions, the
Lord is heralded as the protector
of the forefathers, and the one
who shall resurrect the dead.
The third benediction proclaims
Him as the being of holiness and
: sanctifies his holy name. The rea
! son for the benediction at the end
of the daily service is a matter
! of divergent opinions. Some claim
that it was originally placed there
! at a time when Jews were for
bidden to recite the Kedusha by a
hostile monarch and it was thus
hidden in the midst of a prayer
for redemption at the end of the
service.
