RABBI SEGAL AT THE WALL
ASSOCIATE
RABBI'S
CORNER
On three separate occasions I
have used this column to des-
cribe the events, experiences,
and emotions of the 1973 Beth
Yeshurun Adult Israel Pilgrimage.
In this edition I would like to share with
you the evaluation of the trip as seen through
the eyes of the pilgrims.
When we returned, I sent each pilgrim a 20
question questionnaire in order to learn how
to plan the 1974 pilgrimage (May 7-23) I felt
that we should profit from the previous trip.
Pilgrims were asked to rate each of
twenty aspects of the trip either poor, fair,
average, good or very good. In the general
rati ng of the trip, the group meeting import-
ance prior to departure, and the evaluation
of the driver in Israel (Zelig Migdal), over
94% marked the top rating, "Very Good". Eval-
uation of the guide, Moshe Tzur, also rated
near the top with 85% giving him a "Very Good
classification and the other 15% giving him
the second highest rating of "Good".
In the evaluation of the number of pre-
trip meetings and their content, the percent-
age of top raters were over 70%, though 23%
felt 12 meetings were a bit too many.
The most impressive sights of the trip
cited by the pilgrims were Jerusalem (and the
Wall), the Golan Heights, Herman Berger's Bar
Mitzvah at the Wall and the Bat Mitzvah of
women at Masada, in that order. More time
would have been wanted in Jerusalem, but less
in Tel Aviv.

The Family of our late Beloved Rabbi
William S. Malev wishes to acknowledge their
deep appreciation and gratitude for the many
expressions of sympathy received and the con-
tributions made in his memory and honor.
"You have been a tremendous source of good
in this community, not only through your con-
gregation, but through your column in the Post
which I truly enjoy reading...."
"After reading of your plans for retire-
ment...! had a flash-back of the first time
I had the pleasure of meeting you. It was at
the Music Hall for your first Rosh Hashanah,
29 years ago, in Houston. I was ever so proud
then and have been ever since...listening to
your wisdom, your understanding and compassion
shown to your congregation and friends."
Sadly, many letters to Rabbi Malev that
arrived before his sudden passing and after
his retirement announcement, are no longer
timely enough to share with our readers. How-
ever, following are excerpts of his recent
mail that puts into appropriate words the
spontaneous feelings of individuals who re-
sponded to and appreciated Rabbi Malev, as
did all Beth Yeshuron and Houston, even dur-
ing his lifetime.
I took for
granted your sagacious contributions, but
your reaching out to others, with warmth and
understanding over a period of many years, was
an expression of your unique character. I
have been the benefactress of your warmth,
and for this I always will be grateful
"I can speak only for myself in relat-
ing the great indebtedness I feel to you for
exposing me to a quality of relationship, al-
most rare in today's society.
