RELIGIOUS SUPERSTITION (Continued from page 4) obscure European valley who passes an ikon and crosses himself. It was an unreflection acknowledgment, a propitia tion of the dark powers, a frightened word. And to make of all Judaism a me mento mori, to turn it into an appendage of death, is to undo all that Judaism has ever stood for. Supremely and al most uniquely Judaism is a religion of life. Its intention has always been to regulate the relations of men to each other, and to encourage in them the de velopment of their highest faculties for the sake of this life. A people which is so vital, which has withstood the Berlin—The mounting tension among all elements of the German population, as a result of the propaganda before the July 31st national Parliamentary elec- tions, has caused numerous clashes in al parts of the country, with many dead an wounded among the Nazis and the Com munists, the principal antagonists. Many of the clashes have been between Hitler followers and Jewish citizens. An indi cation of the feeling that exists a* a re sult of the Hitler creed was provided in Wurzburg this week when eight youth ful Jewish Boy Scouts who had been going on an outing were attacked by young boys who are enrolled in the Hit lerite organization. London—As a gesture of good will on behalf of the Zionists, Nahum Sokolow, President of the World Zionist Organi zation, tendered a public reception to Graham Brown, newly appointed Bishop of Jerusalem before the latter’s departure for Palestine. Leading Jewish leaders and Christian government and lay figures were present. shocks and corrosions of so many cen turies, could not have a religion of death. Its impulses are too vigorous, its blood too quick, its creative desires too over powering. And here, in the centre of New York City, thousands have reduced it to a recollection of death. When par ents die, when the day of their death recurs, Judaism is rememliered. It is a horrible thing to see Judaism relegated to this sinister companionship. It is horrible to reflect that for thousands and thousands of Jews the magnificent history of their people has been reduced to some words mumbled for the repose of the release of departed souls. I can think with equanimity of Jews who go to shul only on the high holidays. I can understand the Jew who has sev ered all connections not only with the ritual and the faith, but with the destiny of his people. But I cannot swallow these ghouls of Judaism—the Kaddish- sayers of the big city. For they make on me the impression of men who are saying a prayer not only for the dead, but for Judaism itself.
