But the Jews have imbibed culture of
the land in which they lived and ex
pressed themselves culturally in the
fashion of their country. I heard
. hat some Palestinian folk songs have
been discovered but was assured by
an authority that the music was real
ly. Russian and not Palestinian. How
ever that may be, I can see no basis
tor the establishment of a purely
Jewish room such as suggested for
other nationalities.
I lunched with a University Pro
fessor and he told me that he had the
task of locating positions for gradu
ates of the business department of the
, .liege. He told me that he experi
enced real difficulty with the Jewish
| )lt ys and what surprised him more
than anything else was the fact that
he had trouble even with the Jewish
employers in obtaining positions for
•he .Jewish applicants. Of course this is
not news, but coming from such a
source it reflected in no favorable
light the attitude of the Jewish em
ployer toward his own people. I
sometimes wonder if these Jews know
what they are doing. They must have
very little imagination if they fail
to appreciate that what they are do
ing to the children of other Jews may
some day happen to their own chil
dren. The economic opportunity for
the Jewish boy and girl is sufficiently
limited by the non-Jew without the
Jew contributing to make it even more
limited.
I am glad to publish this letter
from my old-time friend, Rabbi
Calisch:
“Dear Mr. Joseph:—
“Of course I am a constant
reader of your ‘colyum,’ and al
ways with pleasure and profit.
Every once and awhile I have an
urge to write to you to tell you
this, and I am using your para
graph in the issue of May 31st
regarding Rabbi Feldman’s ex
perience as a peg on which to
hang this epistle.
“I have had likewise a rather
interesting experience, though not
exactly similar to that of Rabbi
Feldman, but none-the-less I be
lieve, unique. At the Ecumenical
Council of the Episcopal Church
(which is a world-wide organiza
tion) and which was held here in
Richmond some years ago, I had
the very distinguished honor of
being invited to deliver an address
before the House of Bishops. The
Council is divided into two bod
ies, the lay delegates and minis
ters and the House of Bishops.
The meeting of the House of
Bishops was held in the capitol
building in the room of the House
of Delegates of the State of Vir
ginia. I was waited upon by the
Bishop of Tokyo, Japan, with the
request for the address. When
I came to the capitol building to
the door of the chamber, I was
met by a committee of two, and
as I entered the chamber, the
house rose and remained standing
until I was escorted to the plat
form. After my address the house
again rose as I left the room. I
was told that never before had
such an incident taken place, nor
have I heard of it occuring since.
“It may be interesting to add
that I also participated in a
funeral service of the Episcopal
Church at the death of Mrs. Jef
ferson Davis, the widow of the
President of the Confederacy. I
was invited by the then pastor of
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church,
where the funeral service was
held, to take part in the funeral
service. I read the 90th Psalm.
There was no other minister be
side the pastor of the church and
myself.
Cordially,
EDWARD N. CALISCH.”
