new venture, and the President of the Uni
versity of Alabama, in a letter to the
National Director of the Foundations, has
warmly welcomed Hillel to its campus,
and assured the Commission of university
cooperation.
An Advisory Board is in process of for
mation, and suitable quarters will be pro
cured in the near future to house the
activities of the Foundation, which will
include classes on Jewish subjects, forums,
lectures, social affairs, religious services,
dramatics, journalism, and social service
work.
It is felt that a Hillel Foundation in
Alabama as in all places where a Hillel is,
will have a salutary effect in creating good
will and better understanding between
Jew and Gentile. The Commission is now
considering the establishment of a Hillel
Foundation at still another university.
In addition to Alabama, there will be
Hillel Foundations at the following uni
versities next fall: Illinois, Wisconsin,
Michigan, Ohio State, Cornell, California,
Texas, and Northwestern.

Dr. David Marx delivered the principal

R. Grubb, pastor of the First Christian

Birmingham, Ala.
Openly and with the connivance of
Alabama officials the Ku Klux Klan, under
the name of the White Legion, is riding
again in Alabama and terrorizing not only
Negroes and Jews but working men, ac
cording to John Howard Lawson, author
and playwright, who described the activi
ties of the White Legion in two articles
for the New York Evening Post. Mr.
Lawson, a Jew, was himself arrested and
ordered out of Birmingham. Ostensibly
aimed only at Communists, the hordes of
the White Legion, Mr. Lawson declares,
have become a law unto themselves. Work
ers meetings have been broken up, work
ers arrested and open threats made to lynch
labor leaders. In all the literature distrib
uted by the White Legion, whose leaders
are former Klansmen, there are references
to Jewish agitators and “Jew money’’
from New York. The White Legion has
taken it upon itself to enforce NRA codes
and in so doing has threatened Jewish
merchants and businessmen.

THE REVIVAL OF JEWISH
CULTURE

sion. The Jews have preserved dances that
were related to festive religious occasions
and to the wedding ceremony, such as the
wedding dances variously known as the
Kusher tantz, Mitzvah tantz and the
Broyges tantz, and completely discarded
their dances of the soil in which they en
gaged in ancient Palestine.
In our own generation, as we observe
the return of the Jew to Palestine, and
the re-creation of a new Jewish national
culture, we find that the dance has begun
to play a new role in the life of the Jew.
Both as a spontaneous expression on the
part of masses of enthusiastic young Jews,
and as a medium in the field of creative
art, the Hebrew dance is once more com
ing to the fore. For who has not heard,
or read, of the feverish dancing of the
Chalutzim, the pioneers of modern Pales
tine? Their dervish-like dancing of the
Hora, although only an adopted dance,
has become known throughout the world.
This Hora-dancing with its heavy thump
ing rhythm, as if symbolic of a new peas
antry, has become so closely coupled with
the message of the new Palestine, that
wherever you come upon a group of
Chalutzim, whether it be in Palestine, or
in the training farms of Poland, Germany
or America, you are sure to find the Hora
danced by all.
We are living in an age of nationalism
and national cultures. The Jew has re
vived the Hebrew language and literature
and has done much towards the creation
of a Jewish art. And here the dancer makes
his contribution. The interested Hebrew
dance artist finds a very rich and fertile field
in Jewish life. Jewish ceremoniSl life.
tradition, some of which is rapidly chang
