tor Eli Landman, newly elected
Cantor of the Congregation.
Cantor Landman was born
in Jerusalem and came to
America eleven years ago. He
studied at Hevron Yeshiva and
received his cantorial training
at the Shirat Israel, School for
Music. He holds a Teacher’s
Certificate and Degree from
‘Seminar L’morim Mizrahi’ in
Jerusalem.
Cantor Landman is principal
of the Hebrew School and is the
Congregation’s Youth Leader
and Advisor. Since coming to
Houston he has inspired the
community with his rendition
and interpretation of the ser-
vices.

life and functioning. Many
times it has been said that if
our foremost scientists were to
attempt to create a human body
they would not be able to do
so well as what is now present.
Man is capable of so much. It
has been this capability which
has led him into his great
scientific achievements. He has
created the rocket which in the
very near future will take him
to heretofore unknown regions
of our universe. He has pro-
duced missiles which have the
ability to soar through the air
thousands of miles, bomb, and
annihilate a city or even a coun-
try on the other side of this
earth. He has created the in-
tricate and complex internation-
al economy with which our
country is now dealing. He has
been creative in the area of art,
music and architecture. This
creature, man, has so much a-
bout him that is potentially
great but yet there are poten-
tial negative features such as
his emotions which mar his
image.
In Rabbinic literature there
is the belief that in every’ hu-
man being there are two im-
pulses—the Yetzer Tov, the
good impulse, and the Yetzer
Harah, the evil impulse. The
Yetzer Harah is not seen as
completely evil and bad for the
individual. The great danger to
be apprehended is that it is
liable to grow even stronger

Some years ago the Jewish Community-Council wanted to
defray the cost of such a survey. We are confident that if the
religidus leaders of our community were interested in getting
a professional opinion of our educational programs this would
be offered again. In light of the growing costs, in light of the
need for good educational programs and the furthering of our
congregational schools it might be well to start thinking of
means of improving our Jewish educational standard

Our Jewish Educational Needs
The Houston Jewish community lacks educational facilities,
good instructors, inspiring courses—from the cradle to the adult
classes This statement will bring heated response from con-
gregational leaders, spiritual leaders, teachers, parents and pu-
p.ls Most will contend that the educational systems now operat
mg are as good as the congregations can make them and t e
We grant this We even say that some are better than others
without specifically pointing out which ones are superior or
which are inferior Fragmentized Jewish education is cos y.
Fragmentized Jewish education is spotty. Some of the larger
congregat ons are able to spend a bit more on their educationa.
programs. The smaller congregations spend more per pupil but
are handicapped by numbers

schools Skip their bar mitzvah portion or bar mitzvah prayers

Jewish instruction and ask them pointed questions about their

Our teachers are good The instructions now being given in

cooperation among the congregations to achieve even more
excellence in our religious teaching results This is a good start
but only fragmentary even as is our instruction on the con-

The first concern of our religious school educators should be
a study of conditions in the community; a plan of cooperation;
and the possible establishment of a Houston Bureau of Jewish

and get way out of hand unless
it is controlled in the early
stages. This thought lies ex-
pressed in a striking aphorism
within the Talmud. In the
Tractate Sukoth it says, “The
evil impulse is first like a pass-
er-by, then like a lodger, and
finally like the master of the
house”.
Frequently we are offended
upon not receiving our due
share. When what we have de-
served has gone to someone
else, we become angry. Other
times our anger arises when we
have told someone to do some-
thing and they have not listen-
ed. If this occurs in business
with a worker, we may fire
him or w am him to be careful
for he may lose his job. A few
daMS pass, however, and we see
that no catastrophic occurance
has happened. Then we think
to ourselves, “Was it worth be-
coming angry and causing neg-
ative feelings against us in the
other person?” The manifesta-
tion of anger is w orse when one
thinks that he has told someone
to do something, and when it
is not accomplished he becomes
angry. Later on he discovers
that this was not told to the
second person. But what has
happened in the meantime? An-
ger has come out of the mouth
of the first person. The second
person’s feelings have been
hurt. The final result is that
now both feel badly.
There is a legend about a
saintly rabbi who made it a
rule for himself never to dis-
play his displeasure with any-
one on the same day when he
was offended by that person.
On the morrow he would say
to the man, “I was displeased
with you yesterday.” Before we
become angry and let our pas-
sions get the better of us, we
should think about the other
person’s emotions and sensitivi-
ty. We should acertain whether
we are absolutely correct and

Rabbi, Cong. Beth Israel
Daily we read about people
committing murder and other
acts of violence because of an-
ger. Individuals are assaulted
or murdered by those who are
unable to control their passion.
They are unable to apply self
control. Their anger got the
better of them. It built up more
and more until one day it ex-
ploded.
Man is a marvelous and
fantastic creation. Within the
human being there are systems
