(Q) Regarding [
1856]: In 1942 there will be a law passed
that no student shall be accepted at Hebrew Union College
unless he has a degree, thereby delaying the religious
atmosphere for three years by remaining at New York
University. If [
1856] goes to University of Cincinnati
and takes so many hours a week at Hebrew Union College
he will then accomplish both and graduate maximum 8 years,
a possibility of summer courses and graduation sooner. If
a degree is achieved then only four years of Hebrew Union
College work. Which is the better arrangement, now or to
await three years.
(A) As we find, when all things are considered, it would
be better to begin in the present and not wait until the
degree is attained and then the four years. For, he may
be through with the whole period in six years.
(Q) Should I get in touch with Dr. Morgenstten or have
[
1856] handle situation?
(A) Have [
1856] handle the situation, and if there is the
desire for a confirmation from self, indicate that this may
be had - and this would be a part of the whole procedure.
Have [
1856] make the associations, and handle it there.
(Q) What is Morgenstten's attitude toward [
1856]'s becoming
a student at H.U.C.?
(A) Ask him and see!
(Q) Would [
1856] find it for better understanding to live
at "Dormitory" of Hebrew Union College?
(A) As has been indicated for each of the children, better
that the mother make the home for them. This we would do
in Cincinnati, as well as in New York; and during that Period
there may be work done by the mother in attaining the
activity in the direction of the conditions as we have
indicated would be well for the mother to take up at this
time.
(Q) What about the exam for entrance. Can [
1856] pass it?
(A) Try it and see! When it is considered as to the
variation, to [
1856] this will be very easy.
(Q) When should he leave, if he is to go?
(A) Time to enter school!
(Q) Should we associate with Rockdale Ave. or Plum St.
temple?
(A) This should be the choice of each of the entities.
(Q) Should I take a course in Interior Decoration in
Cincinnati?
(A) As has been indicated. [See
459-12, Par. 51-A.]
(Q) What would be the best "major" for [
1856] at University?
(A) That needed for the degrees for the carrying on of the
work that he is proposing to do. This comes according to
what is needed, see?
(Q) Any advice about health or general improvement for him?
(A) Just keep in those ways that are well known.
(Q) Will he be the "David" as told in the prophecy? Has
he the making?
(A) It is not a prophecy as of David, but as of the
forerunner.
(Q) Give suggestions for good and welfare of his career.
(A) Keep in the faith that makes the promises literal,
real, daily.
(Q) Regarding [
2444]: Would it be best for [
2444] to go
to University of Cincinnati?
(A) As has been indicated. There should be the establishing
of the home, and this would require or make the better
circumstances now that they be kept together; the mother
preparing or making the home and keeping them together.
(Q) What major at University?
(A) As has been indicated as to the training.
(Q) Would teaching lower grades be best?
(A) IF that is what is desired. It will be as one who is
well adapted especially in the care of the young. If this
is the desire of the entity, make the preparations for same.
It has been indicated in that given as to the life's work.
Either accept it or reject it. If you accept it, then do
as indicated.
(Q) Any suggestions for good and welfare of health, etc.?
(A) Just keep in the faith.
(Q) What should the year of 1942 bring to the entity?
(A) Depends on what the entity puts into its service to
others, and its way of attaining to and keeping the faith
with itself and its Maker.
(Q) Any suggestions regarding my own health? [See 459-11.]
(A) These have been outlined and indicated for the body.
There needs be only the following of those directions given.
We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND
See
459-12 on
1/30/41 and subsequent Reports.
8/29/41 She submitted questions, saying: "[
1856]'s rdg.
about 2 yrs. ago said Cincinnati (Hebrew Union College).
I wrote to Univ. of Cincinnati. Both [
1856] and [
2444]
were accepted there. [
1856] needs a lot of Hebrew to get
into HUC... If [
1856] wants to go there he would possibly
have to get in before 1942 or else await three more years.
Now the question arises, should we go to Cincinnati in Sept.
1941 and get in on the eight year course or await the degree
and take four years straight HUC? Rabbi Wm. F. Rosenblum,
who has been taking so much interest in [
1856], believes it
best to go this fall."
REPORTS
9/15/41 "The rdg. was swell. I shall try and carry out to
the best of my ability. [
1856] was very much pleased to
know that he might make the HUC in six years, so we shall
go to Cincinnati on Wed. Many, many thanks for the early
reply." [She requested rdg.
2588-2 for her brother.] [See
1856-1 Reports.]
11/03/41 "When I feel the urge to go out into business, for
we must make ends meet, we [[
1856], [
2444] and I] talk
things over and give up this or that until my course is
completed at Univ. of Cincinnati. Leads to a B.S. in Applied
Art and I love it. I'd love to design furniture for brother
[
257]'s factory but I can't draw. Maybe I'll develop it. So
far I am accomplishing quite a bit - only go twice a wk. in
evening, as I have my household duties, etc. ...I'm
enclosing a ck. for my membership dues and each mo. I shall
send a dollar for the 'vault.'"
1/14/42 "Getting ready for exams. - applied arts - I am
also taking my home furnishings, furniture, as per the rdg."
[See 1/42 ltrs. & EC's replies under her mother's Life Rdg.
325-63 Reports.]
5/21/42 She reported on children's rdgs.,
1856-1 and
2444-1,
and submitted questions about her own and their affairs.
5/22/42 See
459-14.
