April 18, 1965 Dear International President of the B'nai B'rith Girls of the B'nai B'rith Youth Organization, The holy beginning of Pesach ended I have sat down to be- the gin the polishing up of my files for you. I never received for with letters of my observations on subjects now divided tried past files so I have tried to create a new informative set in categories you according to the situations I faced. I have to make them concise and helpful.Distribute what you wish but please read through them thoroughly first and learn what little you can. quotes, I etc. will present many little things to you besides these have spattered them with personal letters to you and files but these are the first I made ready for you. As I write this I know only that you were a member of my executive board and I know now of several seeking that strange but enchanting title I used to address you. I hope I have been helping you in the past I hope I am helping you now and I hope you feel free to share your questions, worries, etc. with me next year because I can understand No, you won't lean on me or need me to think for you but I want to be your counselor and more so to be your freind. Idon't know who you are now so let me be candid.: do not wish to deal in specific advice now and won't discuss BBG but rather you. This office can be filled by a SHOFAR article now and then; it demands only what you demand of yourself and you can never fail to fulfill your duties. Be realistically idealistic and don't be crushed or disillusioned at the bad. There is much that is wrong or will go wrong, there are many mistakes, there are disappointments. You must always remember that we are working toward goals and must work to overcome the bad not ignore it. BBG is not synonymous with perfection but it is not itsantonym. Find balance and sense. Seek to be strong and calm. You are not a god nor a queen nor a celebrity and any conceit or overconfidence will cost you much. This is a one year deal. It demands and repays but you are a normal human being and are a representative of the girls-just like them not above them- this is hard to remember. Sometimes people will make such a fuss over you and herald you as the most promising youth of ages but they see us come and go and they never fail to be more impressed each year. Remember you have a life and BBG may be a guiding influence but do not ,not even this year, let it replace your education, family, or health. Those stay with you while two years from now a meager handful will re- member you as president and few will herald you for the past. Love every person you meet intensely. Seek to know the people behind the faces andhands and tears and pins. Grow as you help others to grow and exercise your every being and stretch to the stars and further. Do better than I because that is the sign that I succeeded and love your board and work with them so that they find a challange and a worth to your level. Be brave and freeand good and kind and human. Cry when you must, lose your temper if you must but watch your situations. Understand and understand and understand push yourself and never lose your composure before a group. Do not fake an ideal, belief, smile, laugh, speech. Be true to yourself and your family and friends. Be honest and your Order will love and respect you
