The Southern Israelite
government explains
JUDAISM
(Continued on Page 53)
society; celibacy, except under rare
circumstances, is unlawful. Systematic
care of the poor is a duty of a com
munity. Love of one’s country and
loyalty to his government is enjoined
upon every Jew, and he is solemnly
adjured to seek the peace of his coun
try and to pray for the welfare of its
government.
Side by side with these universal
principles of conduct the Torah sur
rounds the Jewish people with numer
ous laws and rites. . , . These par
ticularistic religious obligations of the
Torah, written and oral, enabled the
small Jewish people to resist the dis
integrating forces of the idolatry and
error which surrounded them, and en
couraged the Jews to live hy the prin
ciple, ascribed by the early rabbis to
Abraham, “let all the world stand on
one side, I side with God and shall win
in the end.” . . . The whole life of the
Jew, even his commonest acts, are in
vested with religious obligations and
meanings, and they are regarded as a
sign of merit. ... A pious man is
“eager in the pursuit of religious obli
gations" and they fill the life of the
Jew with a higher joy.
Gentiles ami Proselytes
The Jewish Religion and the Gentile
World — Although the Jewish faith
brooks no compromise with other
faiths, the Jewish religion, unlike other
creeds, does not consign an unbeliever
to eternal doom; for a man is not
judged by creed but by deeds. . . . The
Jewish religion enjoins upon its ad
herents the application of one law for
Jew and non-Jew, home-born and
stranger: “Ye shall have one manner
of law, as well for the stranger as for
the home-born” (Numbers xxiv, 22L
. . . “the righteous of all nations have
a share in the world to come.” The
Jewish religion recognizes two classes
of proselytes—“a proselyte of the gate”
is one who abandons idolatry and ac
cepts instead the seven Noachian laws
of humanity, and “a proselyte of right
eousness” is one who submits to the
Abrabamic rite and becomes a full
member of the House of Israel. No
distinction whatever is drawn between
a born Jew and a proselyte of right
eousness. ... In the fullness of time,
however, all nations will flow to the
mountain of the God of Jacob to learn
His ways, and as the Jew expresses it
in his prayer on New Year’s Day, God
will reign in His glory over the whole
universe and all the living shall say, the
Lord, the God of Israel, is King, and
His kingdom ruleth over all.”
ACOB DE HAAS, organization
irman of the Zionist Organization of
ierica, appearing before a public audi-
e under Zionist auspices for the first
e in many years paid tribute to the
norv of the founder of Zionism,
;odor Herzl. “VVe may not care to
lit it", Mr. de Haas stated, “but the
>le attitude of American Jewry, where-
it has involved itself so deeply in the
ial and political welfare of the Jews
every country, calling for the raising
millions upon millions, is an outgrowth
the pressure of Herzl’s teachings.
