It’s too delicate.’ • It is childish to inquire, as Jewish , ftcn ask me, whether the Jew milate or keep his identity. . sn’t depend on your de- >r nunc, or anybody s. Sometimes, uhcn 1 meet some Jewish Harvard stu- seems to me that the question ,lowered. Apparently the Jew assimi- perfectly that in two hundred g nose should be a symbol of id red per cent. Americanism. At imes, when I mingle with Jews - to their racial consciousness as most valuable possesison, I am :o declare that the Jew will never assimilate. And history seems to confirm jew. But on the whole I believe that assimilation is an organic process i no force, not even the most Ortho dox Jews, can halt indefinitely. "It the Jews were all chips off one block, like the Anglo-Saxons, for ex ample. one might be able to gauge their future more or less. But the Jewish type —it there is such a thing—is so diverse, so multiple, so non-typical that you can- nut speak of the Jew collectively. Often there is a greater gap between the Ger man Jew and the Russian Jew, or between the Yemenite Jew and the twentieth-cen tury French Jew than between the men tality of Professor Einstein and, let us say. John S. Sumner of the Society for the Suppression of Vice. So if you speak isimilation you must specify to what *'rt of Jew you are referring. A German Jew can sometimes assimilate without the fhtest effort while a Russian Jew will have a hard time to get into the same is the most Jewish German Jew. "Ihe anti-Semite has a complex.

One type feels ready to relinquish -Semitism if Miss Cohen changes r name to Miss Clark and pledges her- ' forget all about the Jewish holi- • and to recognize Sunday as the only "f rest.

Weinstein will report on the results of the Donor s Luncheon. This was one of the most important undertakings of the year and was made successful by the untiring efforts of its chairmen and committees. It was held May, the fifteenth, at the Jewish Woman’s Club in the form of a Boat Trip to Palestine. The dining hall was artistically decor ated to represent the salon of a boat. A lovely program of music was enjoyed during luncheon and movies of Pales tine scenes were shown. These were explained by Mrs. Louis Scheinman of New York City who was the guest speaker of the afternoon. The cards for this month are written with apoligies to K. C. B. and explain concisely what will take place. They read: Before very long, next Wednesday in fact, an event will take place, at the Jewish Progressive Club, on June, the eleventh, in the form of a meeting, of our beloved Hadassah, with its annual reports, and election of officers, and Donor’s Luncheon reports, and all year's summary, that no one can miss. I thank you! Shabuoth—The Feast of Pentecost (Continued from Page 3) received the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai, and it is surcharged with significance and meaning to mankind at large, as well as to the Jewish people. Today, this festival is made more im pressive by the Confirmation Service which is held in all Reform Temples and modern Synagogues. The solemn declara tion of the young boys and girls to abide by the principles of Judaism, coupled with the reading of the Book of Ruth which tells of Ruth’s recognition of the values of Judaism, virtually becomes a renewal of the historic episode enacted on Mount Sinai thousands of years ago.
