You have had a good start and upon you rests the responsibility of continuing to carry the Torch of Torah, and worldly wisdom in your future years of maturity. Above all you should remember that you are b'nei ha-Yeshiva, and the learning of Torah and living according to the tenets of our sacred traditions must be the prime movers of your life. You leave the Talmudical Academy with the education which you have garnered in this fruitful field. But with patience and courage you will discover in your future years, at the Yeshiva, even larger helds of Torah knowledge and secular learning. Let the moral and religious inspirations which you have re- ceived from your teachers bc the central points of your life. I congratulate you all on your accomplishment, and l am conhdent that in your future life and careers you will be worthy of your school, May G-d be with you. Sincerely yours, Samuel Belkin. President 194 - e ifSgQQf Fur U0 glze gracluaiing Clan of 1948 My dear young friends: ir i Thirty years ago, next june, a small group of young pioneers, but six in number, received their high school diplomas from the first, and for many years, the only ac- credited high school organized, managed, and supervised by people of the jewish faith - the Talmudical Academy. Since that first graduation in 1919, several thousand jewish young men have gone forth from our sacred walls to swell the ever-growing tide of young men and young women who complete their high school studies each year. To-day, you are about to join their ranks. You are the first ones of that fortunate group of young pioneers, graduates from the Brooklyn Yeshivoth K'tanos, to complete your high school studies in the Brooklyn Branch of Talmudical Academy, and to merit the award which you have so richly earned. Many were the obstacles you had to overcome. Many difficulties beset your path from the first day you set foot in our Yeshiva, but great is the achievement you have accomplished. Not only have you received a secular education which, judged by any and all standards set up by the local and state departments of education, has been proved to be at least the equal of that given in the public institutions of our city, but you have also received that rich heritage of learning and spirituality which has been handed down by our ancestors for thousands of years. Whereas your brothers and sisters in the public high schools have received only a secular education, you, the graduates of Talmudical Academy, have received, in addition, a thorough ground- ing in Talmud, Bible, Hebrew language and literature, Jewish history and cognate studies. Your lives are richer and fuller and more closely attuned to the traditions and hopes and aspirations-to the heartbeat-of our people. Even a casual examination of the roster of names that appears in our high school alumni bulletin will cause the heart of every self-respecting Jew to swell with pride and satisfaction. Among their number one finds some of the most worth-while citizens of our community and country. Every walk of life, every trade and profession is duly represented. Not only rabbis and preachers, religious leaders and teachers, but communal workers, teachers and administrators in secular schools, colleges and uni- versities, lawyers, artisans, business men, engineers, dentists, doctors, artists, and musicians received their first training in Talmudical Academy. Every part of our country, every segment of our national jewish life, is permeated and enriched by the contributions which our graduates have to olifer to make up the sum total of human experience. As we look back with justifiable pride upon the thousands who have preceded you, we can only hope and pray that you, their younger brothers, will follow in their foot-steps. Vfe pray that you will hold precious those high standards and lofty ideals of citizenship and service, of faith in, and loyalty to, our American democracy that we have tried to inculcate in you, and that you will put into living practice, and uphold in your daily lives, the sacred laws and traditions of our holy Torah. May you prove a source of pride and joy to your parents and your Alma Mater! Shelly R. Saphire, Pmzripfil Six . Ya, . f A s N I l ii 5 .,-p. 4'- iv I? on ' Q sr my-anal' Dear Graduates: It is with singular pride that I greet you, the lirst graduating class of the Brooklyn Branch of Talmudical Academy. Only three years have elapsed since you entered the portals of the world renowned Yeshiva Rabbi Isaac Elchanan. You were the first pioneers who made it possible to open our Branch, and today your graduation marks the successful completion of three years of work. If in the beginning the opening of our Yeshiva was only an experiment, today it is an established reality. What started out only as a branch has with your graduation become a fruit-bearing tree. It has grown during the course of your stay at Yeshiva from a student body of forty-eight to one close to two hundred, and from a faculty of a handful of men to one numbering more than two dozen. What is even more important-you have not been mere witnesses of this phenomenal growth but rather participants and the inspiration of this develop- ment. That you have given much to Yeshiva is an accepted fact-it is however of greater significance to evaluate what Yeshiva has done for you. It has been the aim of Yeshiva to provide you with more than a curriculum of prescribed and elective courses. To give you only the subjects required by State laws would not be fulfilling the purpose and goal of our institution. The establishment of a reputable and worthy school is not determined by curriculum alone. lt is rather the spirit that pervades the Yeshiva and the philosophy that governs its administration that are the basic criteria in judging its value. It is the prime objective of the Yeshiva to develop jews who are both cognizant and proud of practicing the tenets of our Torah, and at the same time to prepare them to live a wholesome life in our modern American environment. The organization of the faculty thus played a most prominent role in developing the character of our school and achieving its proposed aims. Your taculty consisted of a staff of well-qualified and competent teachers who are at the same time religious men possessing a positive attitude toward jewish values. Many ot them, graduates of our own Yeshiva University, are imbued both with the ideals of judaism and the best in secular knowledge. In your daily contacts you came face to tace with personalities who exemplified the harmonious blending and fusion ot -Iewish lore and secular learning. Yeshiva thus attempted to give you more than the routine book knowledge which any ordinary high school graduate receives. lt has given you .1 positive outlook and approach to the exigencies and complexities of 'lewish lilie. and inspired you with the zeal and enthusiasm to perpetuate the Torah way ol' lite. May you as the potential lay and rabbinic leaders ol' the tuture American 'lc-wish community, reflect in your thoughts and actions the teachings of our Torali. the inspir- ation of our Prophets, and the wisdom ot' our sages. May the brooklyn Hraiitfi always be able to point with pride to you, its hrst graduating class. its iirsl thirteei pioneers. We trust and hope that the formal links which arc- now Iiorginsj lwiwccii our llrantli and the parent institutionvYeshiva University -will bc' slrtiigtluiicil lirmn year tn year.

T111 1113 -rXYf1.'L' a4ri.4 fa X A by Normafz Kafz One year ago, at a school assembly, the first ten members of the Arista were installed. That was the beginning of a Yeshiva Arista composed of the highest ranking students in the school in character, scholarship and service. Since its formation, the Arista has created and attempted to fulfill several functions. A committee has been formed to supervise the collection of Seforim in the Yeshiva. The Arista Coaching Club has endeavored to help the weaker students of the school in their studies. Several boys have gone back to their former schools to try to persuade the graduates to attend T. A. The Arista is at present contemplating the formation of an Inter-Yeshiva League consisting of the Aristas of various Yeshivas. This term, ad- ditional three members have been inducted into the Arista. The last elections put into ofhce Nisson Shulman as Leader, Samuel Feder as vice- Leader, and Richard Silverman as Secretary-Treasurer. Under the supervision and leader! ship ol' these othcers, the Arista has been trying and will try to increase its service to the school and will endeavor to live up to its reputation of being an honor organization. Thiffy Ufis .fifizazy The advent of a library in the Brooklyn branch of T. A. one year ago was due to the pioneering efforts of Mr. Lilker and Rabbi Faivelson, the faculty advisers. Mr. Lilker supervises the English department whereas Rabbi Faivelson has juris- diction over the Hebrew section. The library stanf, which now consists of fourteen members, is under the leadership of Marvin Bienenfeld, Chief Librarian. Under a rotating schedule, two librarians are on duty daily and each member of the staif serves but half a term, The library is being enlarged constantly. Suggestions for the purchasing of books are made from time to time by various members of the faculty and the student body. Due to time limitation, library books are available for reference and circulation for only forty-tive minutes per day. from 1:15 P.M. until Jzoo IRM.. except on Sundays and on Fridays. XWQ feel that with the line cooperation of the sluclcnt hotly, the rontinut-tl siuxes of our library is assured. Y4flfI'f'j'-Olin' 824.5 E , Pie Q1 :Y 1 Mi K X, VL N? b .:,v:,.

A. publications: Kolenu, the Hebrew newspaper, the Tatler, the English newspaper, and the Elchanite, the graduating journal. Rabbi Faivelson and Mr. Horn, the faculty advisers of T. A. Publications, have emphasized the great value of this merger. Because of it, the three publications involved have avoided inter-paper rivalry in the obtaining of advertisementsg they have, through a joint effort, raised more funds than would ordinarily be possibleg they have, through the medium of T. A. Publications, acted as a single united body in all matters in which the publications have a common interest. Under the merger plan, all funds collected by members of the school for the pub- lications are equally distributed to the effect that no publication suffers at the expense of the other. The handling of business matters is under the direction of the business manager of T, A. Publications, Mordecai Katz. A special expression of thanks is due to Mr. Samuel Levine, our executive director, who has been of such tremendous assistance in the financial affairs of T. A. Publications. Tlairly-F0111' kolenu 1.4 5 One of the most important organs of our school is our Hebrew publication, Kolenu, It affords the students a means of self-expression in modern Hebrew. Under the co-editorship of Irwin Witty and Nisson Shlulman two issues were pub- lished. The paper has enjoyed the highest esteem of Hebrew enthusaists, writers. edu- cators and literary critics.

Other members of the staff who helped produce the pioneering T. A. Brooklyn tabloid are Irwin Witty, Arnold Enker and Murray Wachman. The paper is a revolutionary one in that it is a hybrid newspaper-magazine and of a unique size. Although only eight pages long for a starter, the paper in- cludes excellent news coverage as well as reviews, columns, editorials and articles of a general interest. Particularly interesting is the Tatler editorial policy, clearly in- dicated by the editorials in the tirst issue dealing with the Palesstine problem and the extra-curricular activities. Credit is especially due to our faculty adviser, Mr. David M. Horn, whose tireless efforts played an important role in realizing the publication of the Tatler. The publication of further Tatler s is now up to you. The Tatler has a bright tuture in store it you will only pitch in with articles and financial aid.

Hardworking Herbert Weisberg arranged the programs, ushered together the class debaters, and presided over .1 number of debates which Mr. Horn was prevailed upon to judge. The most important and profitable feature of these debating sessions was the criticism and the suggestions given the participants just before the decision was an- nounced.

Nominations and campaigns ensued, and two students ran as presidential candi- dates. But when the ballots were counted, the winner was neither of these. Murray liarher won hy a write-in vote, a most democratic procedure, The very fact that the students were ahle to, and did elect whomex er they saw tit. regardless of who was running on the othcial hallot, demonstrated the fluidity and the fairness of T. A. Brooklyn's elections. This manifestation ot' true democracy at work is to lac hoasted of hy every student of T. A. Brooklyn. After two years of careful planning and ardent work. the G. O, ot 'lf A. Brook' lyn has finally emerged as a hody capahle ot holding its head high as an org.ini1:.uion ranking among the finest and the hest in New York City. 1-my ELUHANITE From the beginning, its growth has shown definite signs of development. The hrst step, which is always the hardest, was taken by Samuel Feder. During his administration, the organization of the G. O. was accomplished. Nisson Shulman as second president helped to establish the G, O. Bi-NX!eekly as a bulletin board feature in an effort to bring the G. O. closer to the student. Ping-pong, volleyball and punchball tournaments were held. Thanks to the nice old lady next door, it nearly cost us every volleyball we had. Wfe solemnly salute those heroic individuals who had the courage to venture into her yard to retrieve those balls. The third election brought forth a new candidate, hitherto virtually unknown. Murray Farber won by only a very small margin that hrst time, but soon he had the heart of the whole school in his pocket. His domestic policy was that of work, work, and more work, and his foreign policy ran along the same lines. The results of his foreign policy may be measured in terms of his enormous popularity. It was his administration that nurtured the write-in vote and introduced it into the realms of oliicialdom. It was this very write-in vote that served to get Murray elected to a third term after he had withdrawn from the election. And to the many other olhcers and representatives who comprised our various administrations, we, the graduating class, say, WT-llllflliii and thanks again for a splendid job, splendidly done.

These three -'y'ears have seen the change from a school with as tew boys in the halls between periods as can compose a self-respecting minyan to a school whose corridors, between bells, house a surging, struggling mass of humanity which cries aloud for room, mofe 'roomq ff' r ' i Starting with two classes, we have now reached the stage where we may justly call ourselves a full-Hedged Yeshixia 'and 'hight school, complete from freshies to seniors. Ours has been a rapid growth and agood one. Frompthe first, it was evident that we intended to accomplish things. In the very first year of school, our dreams of a volleyball, a ping-pong and a punch ball tournament were realized. Even a basketball court was set up. True, it wasn't much to look at, but we could play on it and enjoy ourselves. From then on, it was one success after another. Even the printing of our own G. O. buttons may be considered an accomplishment. How happy we were to receive a full,page in the - Academy News dedicated solely to 'lThe Branch! It inspired the publishing of our own newspaper, the Tatler, which, with the help of Mr. Horn, shows signs of becoming a close rival of the Academy News itself! ag . . . . Even before this, thanks to Rabbi' Faivelson and his student Editorial Board, came the crowning glory of T. A. Brooklyn, the one great accomplishment that has really made our school famous. Kolenu, the only printed Hebrew newspaper put out by students. was at last a reality. And this afteronly two years in existence. Since that memorable 'day when the first copies of Kolenu were distributed still wet from the presses. we have put out another issue, exactly twice as large as the first. To Mr. Levine, our Executive Director, we owe thanks for assistance in the planning of one of our greatest accomplishments, namely, the linancial unification of Kolenu, The Tarler, and the Elchanite, into an organization known as T. A. Pub- lications. It is because of this unification that the Elchanite is what it is today. Scholastically, we have always been top notch. We were proud of the fact that our teachers were the finest teachers chosen from the finest schools in New York and the better we grew to know them, the more we grew to appreciate them. The memory ot' every last one ol' them' ivill remain engravetl in our hearts, tor they have intluence-.i our character even more than they have intiuencetl our marks. Yes. we have grown nipiiily.

Forty -Six erminiiiirii U55 cfkgaliifzffi of Uma.-:f Martin Kahane The Wandering jew has come home. Through the years of trials and tribulations, through the decades of hatred and persecution, with unswerving faith in the Divine Lord, he has struggled on unflinchingly. Down th long road of eternity he has walked, while about him empires have crumbled, and civilizations have come crashing down. He bears the scars of battle and has suffered the tortures of the damned. His treasury of memories consists of the evils of this world of oursg of beatings ,killings, tears and bitterness. Yet,through all these he has struggled on, on towards home. He is a many-faced person, this jew. He is white yet black, short yet tall, hard yet gentle. He believes in war and in peace. He is everybody and he is nobody. But there is one thing which all of him looked longingly for, the only thing he did not have-a home. In his book of memories are indelibly inscribed such names as Rome and Spain, Czarist Russia, Nazi Germany, and treacherous Britain. In his brain are burned the faces of Titus and of Torquemeda, of Nicholas and of Plehve, of Hitler and of Bevin. Will he ever forget Kishinev, Belsen, Oswientzim, Cyprus, and an endless stream of cities of horror and camps of degradation? And now, in his last chapter, as his story draws to a climactic close, as his ageless search for a home is about to be rewarded, another name and another year are added, the U. N. and 5708. And the jew walking down the dusty road of life murmurs a heartfelt prayer from the depths of his soul. He thanks G-d for giving his a lantern in the dark of night to illuminate the crossroads and to allow him to hnally choose the right path home. Now, the Wandering jew has reached the threshold. He has walked, he has come by ship. Perhaps he flew. He has come home by all ways and from all sides. From the tour corners of the earth home has beckoned to him. There are no bands to play. there are no shouts of joy, only a reverent silence. And as he steps into his home, the half-forgotten and smoldering memories hurst into it hery flame, and within his hreitst lies il great exultntion. The shackles of exile fall off him and the yoke of the Diaspora is lifted from his neck. The legend of the country flowing with milk and honey has at last become it reality.

From Metula to the Negev, from the kibbutz to Tel Aviv, with his gun in his hand the jew stands guard. He is all the Chana Seneshes rolled into one. He is the joseph Trumpeldors, the Ben-Gurions, and the Abraham Sterns. He is Israel, and he is on guard! From the sands of Arabia come the Nomads, from the hills of Galilee ride the Bedouins. From the North and South, from the ground and from the air, spreading death and destruction comes the enemy. Ishmael attacks the sorely beset children of jacob. The desert of Sinai is stained with Hebrew blood. The River Jordan Hows red unto the sea. The land of peace echoes unto war. And in a far away land an august body of distinguished gentlemen speak of peace. The hours fly by, the people die, and the gentlemen speak, speak and speak of peace. The plea of an innocent people for help is heard, and the tortuous speeches continue. The council of nations, some of whose members' hands are red with blood, whose souls bear the stench of oil, choke the infant babe Israel still at its mother's breast. Will their cunning tricks succeed? Will their sly devices win? Will evil triumph over good? No! The jew will not yield! For Akibah and Bar-Kochbah who died under the Roman boot, he cannot yield! For Dov Gruncr and his young martyrs, he must not yield! For the untold numbers who died ai kiddush hashem, he will light and light, and fight again. Let the league of Bedouins know this. Let Britannia realize this. Let the universe with its record of murders and hypocrisies remember this. To them the jew proudly standing guard in his country can only say, we shall win for it is good to die for one's country. May 15, 1948 Forty-Eight l lgfafuifin gucfaianz by Alex Hoffer The jewish people in Palestine have proclaimed a state, Israel, and at long last the majority of our people realize that Eretz Yisrael and only Eretz Yisrael is the solution to the two thousand years old problem of jewish homelessness. However, the most remarkable fact in connection with this is that the only people in this country who openly oppose the formation of a jewish state are jews. I refer to the American Council for Judaism, which consists of a handful of frightened jews who have concocted some irrational fantasies. It is amazing that even now, in these times, people like Lessing Rosenwald, head of the Council, maintain that jews should remain in the Galuth. They believe that it is necessary for the jew to be dispersed among nations in order to bring the Divine Message to the people of the earth. Let me cite but a few cases illustrating the harm wrought upon the jews by the Galuth in the way of spiritual deterioration. A spiritually deteriorating nation cannot improve others. i Q l I O The Marranos are often cited as an illustration of how little influence was exerted by the Galuth on the jewish spiritual self, and of how the jew, even outside of Pal- estine, can hold his own against all forces. This is a serious misconception, for it does not bespeak the facts. Separated from the rest of their people, lacking Hebrew books or any jewish religious objects and with the dread of the Inquisition upon them, these New Christians dared not be steadfast jews. Though the first Marranos of Spain knew Hebrew, possessed Sforim, tried to be buried near their unconverted brethren and maintained as much judaism as pos- sible, this did not continue for long. The knowledge of the sacred tongue degenerated with the succeeding generations. They had very little to guide them, and knew even less of the religion for which they were so unmercifully persecuted and thrown to the flames. Only a few oral laws and the Pentateuch in Latin translation remained. Sons were uncircumcised. Rosh - Hashonah was forgotten. The belief was widespread among the Marranos that the essential differences between Judaism and Christianity were the observance of the Sabbath and the worship of images. They justified their transgression of Mosaic Laws by interpreting .1 certain verse of the prophets in such a way as to allow them to worship in the churches as long as their hearts remained faithful to the Gad of Israel . The New Christians were the examples of the devastating inlluence and the heavy hand of the H0ly Inquisition. Though these people readily sacriliced all for what they believed, they retained very little of that belief. Thus, while they deserve our most profound .1LllNlI'.lIlOI1, from the point of view of l-Iistorical .Iudaism these people have swerved lar. l f.fl'lj -.XVUJU Though, as aforesaid, nobody can denounce them, there is no denying that because of circumstances their conception of Judaism was warped. While Jewish reli- gious education and observance of the Holy Days were given up, lighting candles on Friday afternoons and the customs of mourning assumed disproportionate significance. I am tempted to draw a parallel between the maimed Judaism of the Marranos of yore, and the equally perverted values of too many of our American Jews of today. Is this what Mr. Rosenwald desires to preserve? I U K U 3 Another illustration of the blessings of the Galuth is the Falashes, the negroid Jews of Africa, who managed to retain their identity for more than two thousand years. At first, the Falashes had little trouble with their African neighbors. However, in the thirteenth century, bloody battles were fought and large numbers of their people were taken captive or sold as slaves, while many others were converted by the Christian missionaries. These Ethiopian Jews are very strict in their observance of the Sabbath. They do not bring sacrifices on that day and abstain from lighting fires. Cn Friday evenings, the Cohanim, priests, usher in the Sabbath. After the services the entire congregation eats in the synagogue which is divided into two parts, one for the men and one for the women. In their prayer-houses, a special section called the Holy of Holies is reserved only for the clergymen. They believe very stronly in asceticism and in fasting. This seeems to them to be of fundamental religious importance. They fast Mondays, Thursdays, and on the eve of the new moon. Even the seven year olds must fast. Intermarriage is strictly for- bidden. When one of the Falashes enters a Gentile home, he must first purify himself before entering his own home. Here are two examples of deterioration of Jewish life when removed from its natural habitat. Where the Marranos erred by adopting too much of the surrounding dominant culture, the Falashes, in order to avoid such pitfalls, have committed the equally grievous error of shrinking within their own shell. During this process the very same evil occurred. They lost their sense of values. Things unimportant in Judaism became paramount, whereas things vital were lost. These detailed illustrations, that of the Marranos and that of the Ealashes, prove that the Jews in exile are hardly a power in spreading the noble ideals preached by the Torah. Instead, the Jews in Galuth commit one of two errors: either they segre- gate themselves from society like the Falashes, and their Judaism suffers of shrinkage and perversion of value, or like the Marranos, they yield so much to the forces sur- rounding them that their religious ideals are hardly recognizable. Expecting the Jewish religion to flourish in a Galuth environment is ridiculous. lt reminds me of the story that the Rabbis tell of the man who said to his friend. Break the barrel but preserve the wine it contains. IT CANNOT BE DONE. Fifly a I I 3 I V 1 ! E w , . ..- ..: es.- K N2 '-I2 'kggk 1' .,- . .- A. MMMMMMMMMQ ,. .Xu L.

The project which was launched but three years ago as an experiment in advanced lewish learning in our community, has now proven to be a resplendent success. I salute Dr. Belkin, President of the Yeshivah, for his foresight and leadership in affording the young men of our great borough the opportunity to attain an extensive and Well rounded training. Brooklyn lewry has reason to be grateful to the Yeshivah for its acomplishments in producing young men Whose personalities represent ia harmonious blending of Torah and Chochmah, piety and cultural alertness. To me, it is more than a graduation. lt is Witnes- sing the sacred and thrilling scene of Bikurim, the first ripe fruits which grew and matured on this young Branch Fruits that are destined for the Beth Hamik- dash to he consecrated to God, Torah and lsrael. lOSEPl-l M.
