Why a Jewish Day and why sponsorship by the Jewish Agency for Palestine? The Fair Committee had designated over two dozen special days to spotlight the nationalities that made up the immigrant population of Chicago, and was building a Hall of Religion for displays by Chicago's religious groups. For some of Chicago's Jews, their nationality was Zionism and Palestine. The Jewish Agency was the body designated to represent Jewry in its dealings with the British Mandate authorities in Palestine. To Meyer Weisgal, the Executive Director of Zionist activities for the Midwest (and later Chaim Weizmann's private secretary), the Jewish Agency was the obvious choice as the representative of Jewish national aspirations. In his autobiography "So Far," Weisgal writes that in the early 1930s he formulated plans for an annual Chanukah pageant at Chicago's Opera House. The pageants became so successful that by 1932 he could proclaim: "the Zionist Organization is today on the lips of every Jew and non-Jew in the city of Chicago."
According to Weisgal, the Jews of Chicago had been asked to participate in the World's Fair. Negotiations went on for months as to whether the Jews were a race, a religion, or a nation; and if so, could they be represented by a building; and if a building, what kind of building? After the success of his 1932 Chanukah pageant, Weisgal felt inspired: "not a building, not an exhibit, but a pageant portraying five thousand years of Jewish history. It would have everything-religion, history, the longing for Zion, the return to Zion, and it would be called The Romance of a People." Weisgal went to Rabbi Solomon Goldman and Judge Harry Fisher, two of Chicago's Zionist leaders and received their support. Weisgal, according to his own account, went to see Rufus C. Dawes, President of the Fair, a deeply religious man who loved his Bible. Weisgal was able to convince him that Jews had "four thousand years of history, from Abraham down to the present: that no one has!" Dawes agreed to schedule a special Jewish Day at the Fair, the grand finale of which would be a huge spectacle produced by Meyer Weisgal.
In addition to the Jewish Day program, a Jewish exhibit, to be housed in the Hall of Religion for the duration of the Fair, was organized by non-Zionist Reform Rabbis Louis Mann and Gerson Levi. It consisted of a display of Jewish artifacts and portraits of famous Jews through the ages, to illustrate Jewish contributions in the fields of social science, education, religion, literature, medicine, philanthropy, agriculture, statesmanship, music, art, drama and child welfare. The design and planning was done by the architectural firm of Alfred S. Alschuler and Company. Panel murals were painted by artist A. Raymond Katz.
Weisgal made the pageant his full-time business. By his account, he was the man in charge. He followed the general pattern of his earlier Chanukah festival, but on a grander scale. Instead of simply telling a single holiday tale, The Romance was to tell the story of mankind from the Creation to the modern day.

24-Year-Old Prodigy Kalani David Suffers Fatal Seizure While Surfing

Kalani David, a rising star in the surfing and skating worlds, died in Costa Rica on Saturday after suffering a seizure while riding the waves. He was 24.
The news was first reported by The Inertia. It was seemingly confirmed by David’s younger brother, Keoni, who posted to his Instagram story: “You are the best brother I could ever ask for. I will miss you Kalani.”
Born and raised on Oahu’s North Shore in Hawaii, David was born with a surfboard in one hand and a skateboard in the other, and by 14 years old, he was already considered “a seasoned veteran,” as his X-Games biography put it. In 2012, he won one of the first of his many major accolades, clinching a gold medal at the ISA World Junior Surfing Championship in Panama.
The 24-year-old also had Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, a congenital heart condition where those affected are born with an extra muscle on the organ that can cause a dangerously rapid heartbeat and seizures. Seizures, while not always fatal, often involve a loss of consciousness, which can be particularly dangerous in the ocean.
David suffered his first seizure in August 2016 while skating with friends at a park in Oceanside, California. Then 18 years old, he later reported on Instagram that he “fell on my face and woke up in an ambulance.” The episode briefly stopped his heart and triggered three more seizures in the hospital. “So grateful to be alive!” David wrote.
Months later—just before Christmas—David had another seizure in Oahu, Hawaii. The episode came on in the middle of the night, and he later posted to Instagram that he was “lucky to even be alive” after seizing for roughly six hours before friends found him. He spent two days in a medically-induced coma, and had surgery performed weeks later “to get this extra piece of muscle” on his heart “burned,” as he put it.
For David, giving up either of his two loves was never an option. “If it was life or death, and I had to choose skating or surfing,” he told Stab magazine in 2016, “I’d choose death.”
Tributes to the young phenom flooded in after reports of his death began to surface on Saturday. Peter King, a surf photographer and filmmaker, was one of the first to memorialize David. “I’ll always remember your stoke when we’d shoot skate n surf and how much hope you had for you future [sic],” he wrote.
In mourning David’s death, Freesurf magazine called him “indeed a child prodigy” with “literally hundreds if not thousands of trophies.” The outlet noted in a Facebook post that it had been “following his career for at least 15 years. Maybe since kindergarten?”
“Kalani was one of the most talented ever surfer/skaters on earth,” surfing legend Kelly Slater wrote on his Instagram story, “constantly pushing the limits every time he was on his feet.”

<sure does seem to be a lot of this going around
Not very smart, on the part of anyone, to have a pageant about history that includes a portrayal of Moloch worship. For spiritual reasons it is a very stupid move.
