Goel Tzedek Filled to Capacity
The Goel Tzedek Synagogue- was filled to capacity by a representative audience wno came to witness the installation ceremony of the new leader, Rabbi Tulius Siegel.
All the rabbis of the cjty were present, and also three out-of-town ( rabbiB, among whom was Rabbi S. Siegel, of Chicago, father of Rabbi /Siegel,
The opening address was given by the president of the Synagogue, Mr. I."* Brodey, who introduced the speakers.
Rabbi DFachman was the first to speak, and opened with a prayer in Hebrew, "May he guide his congregation and so fulfill his task.J)
Rabbi Drachman said in part: "The congregation is the flock and the rabbi the shepherd. He is the one who leads them and as the shepherd leads his flock with gentleness and love, so shall the rabbi lead every member in his community over/which he presides."
Rabbi Ebin, of New York, spoke in Yiddish, saying that it is more difficult to lead to-day than in the times of Moses, because one must be of the people, and for the people, must have the courage to be not only a general, but also a soldier and work with the people. He advised the new rabbi to aim at unity among the young android alike.
Rabbi S. SiegeJ, father of the new rabbi, addressing the.' congregation, declared that .Torah is-V essentialyto knowledge. He spo^e very briefly/ but with much' feeling and emotion/v One could'almost feel the palpitations, the1 excited trembling.of this lather's heart whom it w'&s given to install his son jrT an office which-he had' held for more than twenty-jyve years. > v
Rabbi Julius. Siegel spoke next, remarking on the ~deep giitf. existing between yoiJng anrl old; "The severing. of the bonds., requires bridges," he. sala "The gap cart be filled by the raSpi if he be given opportunity to lay his finger upon the weak spdt. The younger rabbi may be one to bring the word of God to those who have drifted, away among us." Rabbi Siegel gave-as his aim: "to build up Judai^n and w�rk for the unity of the present and .future, for the Jewish people must go on because they are the chosen people/'
Rabbi Jacob Gordon, who had: arrived too late to speak when scheduled, spoke very briefly about the problems of Jewry in this city. He expressed his readiness to work hand in hand with Rabbi Siegel and that he will always welcome his help and co-operation in all matters pertaining" tp the advancement of traditional Judaism, i � X'llB

Editor, Canadian Jewish Review:
Will you permit me a rejoinder to the two letters and article presented in reply to my earlier letter?
The communication of Dr. Margoshes I characterize as being, (1) an evasion, and (2) a display of bad temper. Neither quality can very much assist the Doctor in his difficulties. It is an evasion inthat it neglects entirely to discuss the issue raised or the merits of the arguments put forward, but instead, elaborately attempts to discredit the personality of the one who presents the criticism.
I neither put forward nor do I pretend to have such pretentious claims as those which Dr. Margoshes desires to make it appear I assert. The sum total of my claims is contained within the four corners of what I wrote. _ Let Dr. Margoshes, and likewise his medical adviser, discuss that. The gratuitous question of whether or not during the last critical five or six years I properly responded to the needs of my people can be left to those who have lived here more than six months and who will speak, disciplined by a knowledge of facts, and not goaded by a spirit of thwarted animosity. If, as the Doctor remarks, I wrote "laboriously," I did so with the motive and toward the end of clarifying and developing the issue. Dr. Margoshes labors, "and 1 believe sincerely" to obscure and divert it.� _
On the second point I am more charitable. Dr. Margoshes only succumbs to a human weakness when he resorts to a display of bad mood, to fill the mental void created by paucity of argument.

of a personal meeting" with Dr. Feigen, his letter introduces him with! scmgu-favorabl.e qualities. It displays him j as being temperamental, possessing intensity of feeling and some measure of earnestness pf purpose, qualities which I find preferable to mere intellectual and verbal finesse. But though a fine gentleman, as Dr. Margoshes' letter points out, Dr. Feigen is a poor witness. His testimony is not relevant-to the issues raised. It consists entirely of a justification of the Jabotinsky compact. My letter expressed no opinion on the merits of the resentment against Jabo-; tinsky. The burden of my argument was that the controversy itself is" extraneous^ to the Zionist movement, and that is the argument to be met, If Dr. Feigen's document succeeds in convincing European and American -Jewry, the situation will be altered. Until then it,must be reckoned with In Zionist tactics.
Mr. Gelber's letter invites different treatment. It, at any rate, is to, the point. Mr. Gelber states that the "invitation to Mr, Jabotinsky was" extended at the time when no one had any knowledge of the latest .political incident in bis career." If by the words "no_ one," Mr. Gelber means the Jewish world in general, the assertion is, according to common knowledge, wrong in fact. I take it, therefore, that he means "no one" in his directorate, in which case, of course, my assertions are confirmed.
Mr. Qelber, at any rate, in his desire to assure the public that it is not.deaired -to "precipitate any extraheous political issue," and his recognition bf the fact that "the latest political incident" in Jabotinsky's career is a -factor in nia usefulness, indicated a readiness to "take heed, "an attitude' upon which ' others might .well pattern, tnemselvee.
Yours very truly,
Jacob L. Cohen!
