Philadelphia, Sept. 17 1897
Dr S. Morais,
My dear Sir & friend
The basket of beauti-ful peaches which our boy brings you are the first fruit picked from a little tree which our gardener planted only a few years ago. I showed them to the children at noon and read to them the 19 verse of the 23d Chapt. of Exodus. "The first of the first fruits of thy land shalt thou bring with the house of the Lord thy God." I explained to them the reason of all this and told them that as you were one of the founders of their beautiful Home, I would send them to you & ask that they might stand on your pulpit tomorrow and the usual blessing pronounced over them. My idea is that as there are 32 peaches, if 32 members
would redeem a peach with the a free will offering, the money could be used for the congregation, or any other good purpose, and the fruit sent to the inmates of the Home for Aged and to the Incurables at the Jewish hospital. This however is only a suggestion. Should you desire to carry it out, please let me know and I will send for the basket. The main motive is my desire that the children should see the practical illustration of our beautiful Law, learning self-abnegation, and that the Foster Home should be a living exponent of all that is good and beautiful in our blessed faith Yours sincerely S M Fleischman. - Identifier
