were of the managerial class, running factories, and manufacturing establishments of various kinds. The influx brought demands from the community for more adequate religious and communal facilities. The deep longing for a synagogue-and a new Center got impetus in the first instance from the semiannual visits of Rabbi Witkin.

the water. The Biblical reference is the prophet Micah who promised the Jews that their sins would be forgiven and thai the Lord would cast them (Tashlich) into a place where they would not be remembered or ever brought up again.
If a person goes through self examination sincerely, he is bound to have a feeling of guilt. Who does not, when he must face his Maker and acknowledge cdi shortcomings and failures? But one must not wallow in a feeling of guilt too long for it binds the mind in a neurotic net. On the other hand in getting rid of guilt feeling too quick]y a person feels cheated and robbed of. the opportunity to work it out himself. The Tashlich ceremony symbolically indicates to the Jew that he may be confident of the Lord's forgiveness and yet mat he must recognize his spiritual mistakes and himself bring them to be cast into oblivion, a necessary step to a direct and un vicarious absolution.
Customs have developed in the home that give the mistress of the house a subtle feminine avenue of expression of the sentiments of the Holy Days. Chaliens for Rosh Hashonah were baked in the form of a ladder signifying that man may climb to any spiritual heights that he desires if he but put his mind to it. In some places they were baked in a round form signifying heavenly mercy which is endless like the circle. When the Motzi is recited, the traditional blessing over bread, a piece of Challeh is dipped in honey to symbolize a sweet year.
Sweet and candied foods are the menu of the day for this reason. In some houses carrots are eaten because in Yiddish they are called "meren" which is a homonym of multiplying. The Jew, his ranks continually decimated with pogroms and persecutions, hopes that in spite of these his number will increase. It is also a custom to eat the head of a fish to indicate the hope that Israel will some day be at the head of the family of nations
As the old year draws to a close and we pause to take stock of ourselves, let us hope that our value has not diminished and that we will have the courage to manage our spiritual affairs . properly in the coining year.
Center. Services had until then been held in rented quarters in an office building.
In 1952, the community purchased an old mansion in the residential area of San Juan, called -Santurce. The community then called on JWB for aid. Leon Spec-tor, head of its building bureau, flew down. He drew plans for a complete alteration job to meet the religious and social requirements of the community. In Hay, 1965, the Puerto Rico Jewish Community Center and Shaare Zedek Synagogue (named after a German synagogue burned by the Nazis) was dedicated. Rabbi Israel Goodman was named as first rabbi. From the start, GIs from all parts of the island have been made welcome at the Center. The Jewish community of Puerto Rico is basically a businessman's enclave with insufficient leavening from working class, professional and artistic elements. Men like Simon Benus, Robert Kogan, Milton Farber, Nathaniel Namerow and Aaron Levine, all businessmen, have been stalwarts.
The Jewish community has had in the past a number of notables: Judge Cecil Snyder, former United States District Attorney for Puerto Rico and former chief justice of the Supreme Court; Louis Sulz-hacher, Justice of the Supreme Court of the Territory; Judge Adolph E. Wolf, who served many years as associate Justice of the Supreme Court; Dr. Jacob Hollander, who organized the Territory's revenue system; Joseph Jacobs, an eminent consulting engineer and builder of dams; Dr. Julius Matz, who made contributions to the control of diseases attacking citrus fruits; Dr. William Hoffman, a parasitologist, who did important research in the
area of tropical diseases; Dr. Charles Weiss (mentioned above) whose work led to the control of the tropical disease, sprue, a terrible disabler of thousands; and Dr. Leo Rowe, former director of . the _Pan_.American.- Union*, who headed a Commission which revised and compiled-the-laws-today� governing the island.
In a vitally strategic area, the community of Puerto Rico is carrying on in the tradition begun in the early days of World War II. A community grown to maturity has time to think of those
who need her services. Its rabbis are serving as part-time chaplains. Last Passover, Rabbi Gottesman officiated at the Caribe-Hilton at a community-sponsored seder attended by 150 servicemen and their families. The community is all set again for services and hospitality for Rosh Hashonah. In the light of this service, who can gainsay that, through its partnership with JWB, � the little community has found its way into the mainstream of Jewish life.
