How absurd can you get?
The long-standing discussion
among Protestant leaders about
religion is a healthy one, but the
slogan is repug
nant.
How can you
talk about God
being dead? It
reminds one of,
of the assertion\
that the Jews of
ancient Palestine
killed a god. A
deity is by def
inition all-pow
erful. How, then, can a group of
people be charged with his elim
ination?
Now that the theological fer
ment has burst into the open,
more and more people are curi
ous about the significance of so-
called God is dead talk. As one
magazine says, any clergyman

i large group by
topic for pulpit
can now draw ;
announcing the
treatment.
It’s reminiscent of the Dead
Sea Scrolls matter. For a long
time religious circles were buz
zing about the unearthed docu
ments which came to be known
as Dead Sea Scrolls. Then Ed
mond Wilson wrote a long article
about them in the New Yorker
Magazine and this relatively es
oteric subject hit the news and
the pews. Despite the liveliness
of the Dead Sea Scrolls as a sub
ject for conversations and pro
nouncements, they have added
little to our knowledge of ancient
Judaism or Christianity. Dr. Sol
omon Zeitlin, the great scholar of
Dropsie College, Philadelphia,
pooh-poohed them all the time
as a source of new data, and it
now seems his view is prevail
ing.
As for the current religious
hubbub it may have more
lasting results, provided we
understand what it’s all about.
Your own rabbi will furnish par
ticulars (and probably correct my
oversimplifications), but in gen
eral the Christian world is say
ing, in the God is dead utter
ances, not that God is dead but
that immature notions about Him
are disappearing.
And the more they disappear,
under the scrutiny of the Altizers,
the Robinsons and the Pikes, the
more the Christian world is re
turning to the rationalism of Ju
daism. Our faith taxes one’s con
duct but not one’s credulity un
duly. Judaism tries to minimize
the supernatural and stresses the
obligations we all have to he
worthy of divine blessings.
So it’s not the Almighty who is
defunct; it is misunderstanding
of His real nature and call which
is giving way to a less obscuran
tist view of Him. Rabbi William
Silverman, of Kansas City, put it
pithily in his sermon topic; “Is
God dead or missing in action?’’
A good question.
First Kibbutz in
Congo Thriving,
Times Reports
NEW YORK (WUP)—The first
Israeli-style “kibbutz” has proved
to be a great success, according
to N. Y. Times correspondent
Joseph Lely veld reporting from
Kinkhole, the Congo. Situated
some 20 miles from Leopoldville,
the settlement is named Kibbutz
St. Martin. It was established
about a year and a half ago by a
Roman Catholic priest, the Rev.
Roger Bernard, Lelyveld notes.
The 19 “Halutzim" working the
Kibbutz range in ages from 19
to 21. Their products include
pineapples, peas, beans and to
matoes. Israel’s Ambassador to
the Congo, Rahamim Timor, on
a visit to the Kibbutz, promised
to send the Kibbutznickim 500
chicks.
Let's Re Human . . . .
By Harry Fleischman
Leafing through Joseph L.
Baron’s “A Treasury of Jewish
Quotations” (Thomas Yoseloff,
$6.95) the other day, I noticed
English poet William Blake’s
“If humility is Christianity, you,
Jews, are the true Christians!”
Maybe the poet is right, but I
am reminded of the story May
nard Wishner told at the Amer
ican Jewish Committee’s annual
meeting earlier this month.
Seems a rabbi was praying dur
ing Yom Kippur services. Over
whelmed by humility, he beat
his breast, proclaiming, “Oh
Lord, I am nothing, I am noth
ing, I am nothing.” The cantor,
affected by the rabbi’s piety,
stood up and chanted, “Oh Lord,
I too am nothing, I am nothing.”
The caretaker, caught up in
their fervor, joined in the chor
us, “Oh Lord, I am nothing
also.”
Whereupon the cantor nudged
the rabbi and whispered, “Look
who thinks he’s nothing!”
