“Spring Up, O Well”
By Dorothy Ruth Kahn
(Henry Holt & Co.)
“But you won’t have to worry
about a home. Everyone’s home will
be yours.”
These words, spoken to her by
the august Mrs. Rebecca Kohut
echoed in the mind of Dorothy Ruth
Kahn as she sailed for Palestine.
On the pier with the blazing Man
hattan sun behind them, stood hun-
thv d p S tj! g l? g v ^atikvah. In Doro
thy Ruth Kahns cabin were mes
sages from Hadassah and the
Council of Jewish Women.
“Spring Up, 0 Well” is a record
of Dorothy Ruth Kahn’s pilgrim
age to Palestine, told passionately,
lyrically and with a self-analysis
so searching and intense that it
earns for itself a special place in
the literature that has come out of
the rebirth of Palestine.
But Dorothy Ruth Kahn had
made another pilgrimage before her
Palestine visit—a pilgrimage of the
soul and of the senses and of the
heart. An assimilated Jewess, her
early training in an ultra-reformed
Temple had taught her nothing of
the significance of her heritage, so
that life and love were confused
flights from a reality that she could
not comprehend.
“Is it any wonder, then,” she
asks, “that the reformed Jewish
child whose nature fails to respond
completely to the assimilation proc
ess, suffers more violent emotional
reactions than he who lives in a
mental ghetto with all of its attend
ant restrictions, compensations and
stability? Mow much more fully
equipped to meet the vicissitudes of
“tolerance” is this ghetto child who
is not forced to spend himself in
unlearning a lie.”
This pilgrimage, then, was a
backward one, and a painful one,
for the life that she had faced
laughingly and gallantly had given
her no place, and Hilary, her
Christian lover had left her. It was
in David and his traditional Jew
ish background that she found re
fuge, and through them that she
completed her backward pilgrimage
from which she emerged a whole
and complete person.
In Palestine, she found the same

bad manners that had revolted her
among the crowds attending Jew
ish plays in New York, the same
strident enthusiasm, the lack of re
ticence. But in Tel Aviv it stem
med from the vitality of the peo
ple, and for the first time, she did
not ask herself what the Gentile
would think, but felt a great pride.
“Jerusalem,” she says with her
rare gift for exquisite imagery, “is
a woman who sits among bleak
hills combing her hair and smiling
. . . They worship because she is
beautiful, and she is beautiful be
cause they worship.”
Dorothy Ruth Kuhn found beau
ty in Palestine, and ugliness, too;
but it was an ugliness that she
could endure. Yet hundreds who
came to Palestine, ardent Zionists
all, fled back to their homes, their
dreams shattered.
“Spring Up, O Well” is one of
the outstanding books of the year,
and is required reading for Jew and
Christian alike. But most of it, it
should be read by those who, like
Dorothy Ruth Kahn, are lost in the
assimilation process, hearing the
small, faint voice of Israel crying
within them.

“Brandeis”
The Personal History of An
American Ideal
By Alfred Lief
(Stackpole Sons)
To the American masses, for
whom the economic scene has only
recently become the arresting thing
of its today, Alfred Lief’s biogra
phy of Louis Dembitz Brandeis will
provide a bridge to the past, com
manding a clear, comprehensive
view at every point along its
course of an important chapter in
America’s economic history during
the last fifty years. The reforms
which this quiet, sensitive man
fought for during his brilliant and
turbulent career, many of whiqh
have now been resolved into what
it is hoped will be permanency in
the social structure, may be seen in
their raw, idealistic states, with
Brandeis hammering them out up
on the anvil of vision and persist
ence.
Louis Dembitz Brandeis was
born in Louisville, Ky., the son of
Adolf and Frederika Brandeis,
German immigrants. In author
Lief’s biography, which employs
the objective treatment and draws
little in the way of inference, there
is absent also those personal
touches which the reader requires
for a whole picture. But we are
told that in Brandeis’ father there
was an intense American patriot
ism, that the family favored the
North during the War Between the
States, and that young Louis, sur
feited with German discipline in
his studies abroad, borrowed two
hundred dollars to return to Amer
ica, where in 1875 he entered the
Harvard Law School.
Through Alfred Lief’s intelli
gent, chronological disposition of
Brandeis’ career, and through hia
dispassionate analysis of each case,
the figure of the social prophet as
sumes a stature even greater—and
certainly more understandable—
than that which he appears to hold
to students of American economics.
His tireless warfare against mon-
