Rabbi Kaplan Speaks
For Brotherhood Week
Rabbi Kaplan of the Temple Beth
Or in Raleigh spoke to the Saint
Mary’s student body assembled in
the auditorium on March 1. The
theme of Rabbi Kaplan’s talk was
“Brotherhood and How It Can Be
Obtained.” The Reverend I. Hard
ing Hughes introduced Rabbi Kap
lan w'ho has lived in many parts of
the country and came to Raleigh
last fall from Albany, Georgia.
Rabbi Kaplan stated that we can
obtain brotherhood primarily
through knowledge of each other.
He believes that most prejudices and
wars come fi'om ignorance, and if
men knew the truth of religion, they
would realize the close bond wdiich
connects different religions. He
pictured biblical characters of dif
ferent faiths as being in the audi
ence and said that it was impossible
to believe that they would not frater
nize with each other.
The one goal which he is trying
to achieve is that.of raising people
to the noble heights of one religion.
To illustrate his point he told a He
brew legend. The gate keeper in
Heaven would not admit the Prot
estant, Catholic, or Jew because,
in asking for permission to enter
Heaven, they had never spoken in
terms of a universal Father. ^ When
the.y began to read the Bible to
gether conceiving its true meaning,
he let them enter.
The Rabbi declared that “In the
eyes of God we are all his children
and everyone is alike. We should
all learn this lesson because the fu
ture and destiny of mankind de
pend upon it.” The Rabbi conclud
ed his talk by asking, “Have we not
one Father and has not one God
created us all?”
be heard extolling its praises to any
willing listener. She is the Assem
bly Chairman, choir secretary, a
Sigma, a member of the “Y,” and a
recently elected member of the Cir
cle. Her hurrying figure is a famil
iar sight oil the campus since she is
kept busy trying to get everywhere
at once.
Kelle may be serious in assembly,
but any resident of Holt will declare
that where there’s life, there’s Nelle.
As one of Saint Mary’s liveliest cut
ups, Nelle has unanimous approval
from the student body.
Runners-up, Mary McNaughton,
Betsy Harris, Heilig Harney and
Ginny Landis, went all out to prove
that being full o’ fun isn’t entirely
limited to just one person.
