Chaplain Goldberg Tells Audience
Hebrew Culture Could Save World
By ADOLPH ROSENBERG
Hebrew culture could save the
world from destruction, Chaplain
Josh Goldberg told an Atlanta au
dience assembled May 19 to con
clude the community’s Tercenten
ary Celebration.
In a moving address which
many of the listeners termed the
greatest in many years, Chaplain
Goldberg discussed the clash be
tween the East and the West.
This struggle, he exclaimed, is
between culture, as represented
by America and democracy, and
civilization, as represented by an
avaricious Russia.
"When two civilizations clash,”
he said, “we have wars and there
is general destruction.
“When two cultures clash, we
have a new birth of ideas, new
vistas, new horizons.”
Civilization can be bought and
acquired but culture must be
achieved. Civilization is limited,
finite. Culture is infinite, a
search for the truth.
When a country has civilization
as its mode of life, there is what
we term totalitarianism and the
carriers of culture must leave.
That is what Germany did. So it
is with Russia which has goals of
total civilization and off the cul
ture standard.
Democracy is a safeguard of
culture and the pioneers who
came here to this country estab
lished a multi-cultured society.
There is the opportunity here to
reach glory, to develop without
stint and we must recapture the
real purpose, the real meaning
spelled out in America.
Nowhere in this globe has the
Jews had so much opportunity
and if we cast it aside, we will
be doomed to dissolution and ob
livion. This is how I see the les
son of our 300 years.
“We as Jews could rise to our
real destiny, dig deep until we
strike the living waters of our
religion. . .
“The world still needs the He
braicists. The world still needs
Jewishness.
“Civilization could destroy the
world; Hebrew culture could still
save it. In the clash between East
and West, we can win new oppor
tunities or lose and plunge into
darkness.
“The divine in man is more im
portant than the human recep
tacle in which the spirit lives.”
The chaplain’s talk marked the
finis to a year’s Tercentenary
programming in Atlanta under
guidance of the Committee of One
Hundred and the sponsorship of
the Jewish Community Council.
Jewish Community Council Pres
ident Barney Medintz reviewed
some of the highlights of the year.
Sinclair Jacobs presided and in
troduced the speaker.
Rabbi Jacob Rothschild was
reelected president of the Federa
tion Jewish Social Service Feder
