Name Change

I decided that the name should be changed. It seemed to me that the name "Jewish Secular Society" was both exclusionary and misleading.

I opted for the word "teth," the ninth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. "In the Qabbalah, used as a symbolic device for the cosmic intelligent electric force, in theosophy called fohat, "whose symbol is the serpent which played such a prominent part in the Mysteries.""

Additionally, it was the name of the ice cream parlor my mother owned with her brother back in Chicago.
