“The destruction of the Holy City,
the ruin of the House of God, the
dispersion of the Chosen People into
all the kingdoms of the earth, and
their continued existence as a nation,
notwithstanding every attempt to ex
terminate them or to compel them
to forsake those ordinances which dis
tinguish them to this very day from
all other nations, is emphatically one
of the strongest evidences we can
have to the truth of the Bible. The
annals of the world do not contain
anything so remarkable in human
experience, so greatly surpassing hu
man power and human prescience.”
It was a fourth century Christian
church father named Jerome who
could write that.
Whence was this courage derived?
As always in the past, from the To
rah, the final collapse of all hopes
of a resurrected state in Judaea led to
the concentration of the energies of
the Jewish people upon the systemat
ic study of the divine Revelation. It
became the sum and substance of all
of their activities. To dig down into
the mines of the Torah and bring up
its treasures, to unfold its deepest
thoughts and apply them to their vi
cissitudes, to draw life-giving encour
agement from the inspired visions of
the prophets—all these occupations
filled the mind and the heart of the
harassed Jew to such a degree, that
they helped him to forget the misery
of his material lot. The Jewish Li
brary has been edited and written to
assist the Twentieth Century Ameri
can Jew to become more fully ac
quainted with the riches bequeathed
to him by these innumerable noble
successors.
CONTINUE CAMPAIGN AGAINST
SCHECHITA IN AUSTRIA
Not Biblical Commandment, News
paper Argues
Vienna, (J. T. A.).—The campaign
against the schechita, the Jewish
method of slaughtering animals for
food, is being continued by the “Wien
er Tageszeutung”, anti-Semitic daily
In an article devoted to the question
the newspaper asserts that the Jewish
people are misleading the world by
claiming that their schechita is a re.
ligious duty imposed by the Old Testa
ment. Under this claim they hide
“a practice which is cruel and sadis
tic.” The “Tageszeitung” quotes the
opinion which it claims to have ob
tained from a Rabbi L. Stein of Frank
fort, that the schechita is not a bibli
cal command but rests merely on tra
dition. The Mosaic law does not in
dicate anywhere that incision in the
throat of an animal is compulsory or
that the flesh of animals otherwise
killed is forbidden.
GIRL, CONVERTED TO CATHOLI
CISM WHILE A MINOR, ORDERED
TO GO HOME
Father Meets Missing Daughter on
Lemberg Street, Refuses to Let
Her Go
Lemberg (J. T. A.)—Meeting his
daughter, Fanny, who had been miss
ing for two years, on one of the
streets of Lemberg, accompanied by
two nuns, Ephraim Promis refused to
let her go, causing his and her own
arrest by the police on a charge of
disorderly conduct.
At the police station a stirring dra
ma was revealed in the explanations
of the prisoners. The girl, who was
a servant, disappeared two years ago.
All search failed to locate her. During
this period, it was revealed, Fanny
had been kept in a Catholic convent,
where she was converted. Now, con
fronted by her father, she declared
that she prefers to go back to the con
vent.
Frantically the father appealed to
Deputy Reich, representative from
Galicia in the Polish Sejm, who in
turn appealed to the State Attorney.
The State Attorney ordered the pris
oners’ release without further charge
and directed the girl to return to her
home, as her conversion while she is
still under legal age, cannot be recog
nized.
