"A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR" TO ALL MY JEWISH FRIENDS"

THE JEWISH NEW YEAR IS A VERY SPECIAL FAMILY EVENT. I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS MARRIED, WE WOULD ALL RUSH
TO GET DRESSED AND OUT OF OUR ENCINO HOUSE TO DRIVE TO TEMPLE.

The women would all look at each other, to see what "Designer" went to Temple with them.
The prices for tickets was something you would win on "The California Lottery" the kids would
all dress up like their parents. I am not sure this was good or bad. The Parking Lot of the Temple, looked
like the Parking Lot at "Chasen's"

But whatever this looked like, once inside, we all felt a sense of belonging in the right place.
I do miss the feeling of being in the "right place" I do cherish those days in my life and i'm sure
those golden days of my life, will forever be in "My Book of Life."

Those days only come once in a lifetime. Anthony Newley was correct. I sincerely wish a "Happy New Year"
to Judge Irwin J. Nebron, who made this former Deputy District Attorney, feel good about being Jewish.

You see, if you were a Deputy City Atty., a Deputy District Attorney, a Public Defender or a Deputy County Counsel,
your Supervisor would ask you to bring a "blank check" and go to Div.18, to see "The Neeb", who's chambers were
filled with every candy known to mankind. The "Neeb" would ask us if we were Jewish, if we said yes, he would ask
us to take out a blank check and make it out for $50 and payable to" Justice Lodge", the legal branch of B'nai Brith.
a Jewish club.

Every year "Justice Lodge" would put on a Show, that Ed Sullivan, would of been proud to present.

I am still Marshall Bitkower and a proud member of "Justice Lodge", even though it does not exist today.
As Jackie Mason used to say "Who Knew?", well I did and I do miss it.
