RELIGIOUS BELIEFS OF JEWS EXPLAINED
IN DETAIL BY NOTED NEW YORK RABBI
Under the heading:. "What Do Jews
Believe?’* a very interesting; account
of the religious beliefs of Jewish peo
n’e has been issued in pamphlet form,
jointly, by the Union of American
Jewish and the Cen
tral Conference of American Rabbis.
The compilation of the data is the
work of H. L. Endow, P. D., Rabbi
of the Temple of Emanuel. New York
City. The treatise follows:
"What Do Jews Believe?”
What do Jews believe Both Jew*
and non-Jews are often heard to put
this question; the former to make sure
where they stand, to render to them
selves what the old rabbis railed an
"account of the soul;" the lattor be
cause they are eager to know just
why we remain Jews in the religious
sense and at all cost keep from merg
ing with any other religious body. Are
there any beliefs at all that Jews are
agreed upon and that may be said to
form the groundwork of universal and
perennial Judaism? Such beliefs I
think there are, and the purpose of
this paper is to describe thorn briefly.
The first belief of Judaism relates
to God. It is ns clear as daylight that
no matter how broad or liberal or ad
vanced one may be, one can not con
sider oneself a true Jew if one docs
not believe in God. Religion without
God is a self-contradiction, and al
together out of question. In fact, be
lief in God with us has not only been
a matter of reason, but also of intui
tion. of that side of our soul which the
old rabbis regarded ns a phn*e of rea
son, and which after all plays a very
important part in the life of all Thlg
is not to say that Judaism has under
valued reason. Quite the contrary is
true. Reason is invoked by both the
Bible and the Jewish thinkers of later
times as confirming the truth of God’s
existence. But primarily the Jew has
always felt the existence of God as a
basic truth in life Not experience,
but his own soul first taught him to
exclaim: "Hear. O Irael, the Lord our
God. the Lord is One." those stirring
words which from time immemorial
have comprised the foremost motto
and epitome of the Jewish faith.
This, then, is our first belief. With
out it Judaism is impossible. With
out It one may be descended of Jews,
associate With Jews, belong to a Jew
ish club or lodge, marry a Jewish hus
band or wife —one may be Jewish in
racial or social relations—but one is
not a Jew in the true historic sense
of the term
Oneness of God.
But, In relation to God, Judaism has
always held another characteristic be
lief. name’y, as to His attributes, or
qualities. Judaism lays stress on the
oneness of God. and. if I may say so.
the Uniqueness of God. Oneness. In
the sense that true Judaism has never
admitted the possibility of more than
one God, or of the division of the
Deity into different parts, powers, or
forms. But God also is Unique. "One,
and there Is no unity like unto Ills
Unity.” ns the old Hebrew hymn hns
it. The meaning of this assertion Is
that Judaism has invariably consider
ed that God is Perfect, and In this re
spect different from all other gods. To
put it in other words, the Jew* believe
that God is not only One, but also
free from those infirmities and limita
tions which have been associated with
the gods of other people. Such ac
counts of the contests, ambitions, riv
alries. and moral Imperfections of the
deities as may be found, for example,
In the mythology of the Babylonians,
of the Greeks, or of the Teutons, are
unthinkable In connection with the
Jewish God Idea. From earliest times
we have taught that God Is Holy, All
wise. Allpowerful, and that His sole
plan in the Universe Is to cause with
in It the triumph of Holiness and
Righteousness. "Holy. Holy. Holy.”
as we rend in Isaiah, "is the Lord of
Hosts the whole earth is full of Hl*
glory.” (vl. 3.)
Tills leads us to another Jewish be
lief. and that is with regard to the
world. "The whole earth Is full of
His glory.’ It Is well known that some
people believe that the world as such
Is tainted with sin, that, being mat
ter. it Is inherently corrupt, that It in
in reality but a place In which one is
to prepare for another life, and that
those are the most pious men and wo
men who withdraw from it an much as
possible. This belief has given ris*
to morold views of the world, as well
as to the various orders of monks and
nuns. What do Jews believe op thin
point? It may be said that the com
mon belief of the Jews of all ages has
been the contrary of the Idea #uat al
luded to. We do not believe In a devil
in the corruption of the world, nor
that to be in the renter of the world’s
activities and enjoyment*' nfeans ne
cessarily to subject oneself to the
taint of sin. We believe in God ns tlift
Creator of the world, which, of course,
need not mean a literal belief In the
old account that He created the world

in s x days. Whatever process He
may have used for bringing it into be

out God chaos. Having created the
world, however, He has not sent It
forth to run its course in haphazard
fashion. He i* not an absentee God,
corn, mplating Creation from n dis
tance and caring not how tHe world
wags On the contrary. He Is every
where and in everything. No other
Po\v< interferes with His presence
“Whither shall I go from Thy spirit?"
sa>« the Psalmist. "or whither shall 1
flee from Thy presence? If I ascend
up Into heaven, Thou art there: if 1
make my bed in Sheol, behold. Thou
art there. If I take the wings of the
morn ng. and dwell in the uttermost
parts of the sea; even there shall Thy
hand load me. and Thy right hand
shall hold mo. If 1 say. Surely the
darkness shall cover me; even the
night shall be light about me. Yea,
the darkness hldeth not from Thee;
but the night shineth as the day; the
darkness and the light are both alike
to Thee.” (ps. cxxxlx, 7-12.) More
over. God governs tho world accord
ing to Ills law of righteousness and
goodness. Tie loveth righteousness
and Judgment,” says the Psalmist,
’tin* earth Is full or the goodness of
the Lord.” (xxxlli, 5.) And as to its
Inhabitants, their chief duty is not to
turn their backs upon the world In
fear of pollution, but rather to cling
to it and work In such manner ns to
help fulfill the Divine plan of beauty,
order, and goodness, and thus become
what the rabbis have called ” fellow -
laborers with the Ho’y One." "For
thus salth the Lord that created the
heavens.’ says Isaiah. “God Himself
that formed the earth and made it;
He hath established it. He created It
not as a waste, He formed it to be In
habited: I am the Lord! and there is
none el*e." (xlv, 18.)
Belief As To Man.
Indeed, this is what gives man his
pldce in the world. But. that leads uh
to another of our important beliefs,
namely, with respect to Man and hu
man life. What do wo believe about
Man? To put it negatively first, we
do not believe in a great many of the
doctrines that are current among
other people, as the doctrine of orig
inal sin. the fall of man. the need of
vicarious atonement, and such like.
On the contrary, It hns been rightly
pointed out that the idea of Original
Virtue, or the Virtue, of the Fathers,
has played a more important part In
Judaism than that of Original Kin.
As a matter of fart, Ave believe that
man. as the Bible tells us, was creat
ed by God in Hls own image, and amid
all varieties of trend, desire, and pow
er preserve the stamp of divinity.
Hence the Jewish ldi*a of the broth
erhood of all men. of the sanctity of
even the humblest life, and of the em
bracejnent of all In the Divine plan,
howsoever they may differ in out
ward things. All bear the impress of
the Divine Image in their soul. Fur
thermore, to realize this divine nature
and enact. It in hls life, is man’s para
mount duty and purpose, insofar h*
he does this, ills lire Is what it is
meant to be; otherwise. It falls short.
Nothing, according to the great teach,
ers of Israel, can take the place of
this individual responsibility, of this
personal duty, of this consecration of
life; neither ritualism, nor sacrifices,
nor fasts, nor feasts, nor material
charity; neither the merit of the Fath
ers, nor tho mediation of another per
son. Holiness, righteousness, moral
ity—not. morality In the narrow con
ventional sense, but In the wide*t
sense—this Is the fundamental duty.
Other things may follow, and add
i grace and glory to life; but fli at, there
must he the true striving after holt
nesa, not with an eye on reward of
any kind, but rather because holiness
ought to he the. chief pursuit of man.
Said Antlgonus of Soko, a Jewish
teacher or the third century B. C.:
”Re not as alaves who serve their
master with a view' to receive recom

master without a view to receive rec

ompense." Or, aa once for all this
principle is summoned f«p in Leviticus
xix, 2: "Ye shall be holy, for I the
Lord your God am holy."
But. it is asked, has God really said
so? Do we know anything about Hls
will? In other words, do we believo
in Revelation Religion, It has been
said very truly, is not merely the be
lief in the existence of God, but rather
In the possibilities of man’s approach
to, and communion with, God. That
God has communicated, revealed, ills
nature and laws to men, hns always
been one of our basic beliefs. “Surely
the Lord God will do nothing, but He
revealeth Hls secret unto Hls servants
the prophets.” (Amos 111, 7.) This 1*
not to say that all Jewish thinkers
have been at one In their idea of the
method or the process of Revelation.
Discussion of the latter however, be
longs to the realm of metaphysics.
Suffice it to say, that we believe that
the Bible furnishes a faithful record
of the great laws of life, of the laws
of morality and religion, which God
rovea cd to Israel, and more especially
to the prophets of Israel. Teachntcat
disputes as to how the revelation oc
curred do not affect the general be
lief; nor *s It affected by whether or
no we hold that every letter of the
Bible was inspired. Though we may
suppose that the actual writing unq
editing of tho Bible took place in the
usual human fashions we do not waver
in our convict ion that it contains the
highest revelation of God possessed
by mankind. Moreover, our belief in
the choice of Israel for the Divine
Revelation, does not preclude the view
that God. has spoken to other utopias
:ir well. On the contrary, we oelleve
in the unlversalit3§of Revelation. “The
whole Tora was spoken in every
tongue.” we rend In the Talmud
"Every word that went forth from
the mouth of the Ho’y One was divid
ed into seventy tongues." Other ut
terances of similar nature might he
cited from Jewish teachers of all ages,
testify Inf to the Jewitn btlltf tnat,
though God may have revealed Him
self particularly to Israel. Ho did not
withhold Ills light and Hls truth from
ihe other peoples. "For from tho ris
ing of the sun unto the going down of
the same Mv name Is great among the
nations; and In every place incense Is
offered unto Me. and a pure offering:
for My name is great among tho na
tions, salth tho Lord of Hosts."
(Maluchl I. 11.)
Life Aft*r Death.
As to what becomes of man after he
has “shuffled off this mortal coll,"
Judaism has never speculated very
much. Yet we must admit that this
Is one of the main questions that men
are apt to ask Religion to answer
What becomes of our soul? Do we
believe In a hereafter? Briefly speak
ing. we certainly believe that the soul
survives the dissolution of the body,
but Just what occurs after death, arid
what the strife of the soul is, the pur
est teaching of Judaism has never at
tempted to define Our attitude has
found expression in the Biblical verse
forming the opening words of tlm tra
ditional Burial Service; "The Rock.
Ills work 1r perfect, for all Hls ways
are judgment: a God of faithfulness
ami without Iniquity. Just and right
Is He." (Deut. x-xxil, 4.) We are
sure that tho soul of man, which, in
Bib leal phrase. Is a light of God, Is
not put out altogether, and that our
life, with its struggles and sufferings
and failures will be rightly desit with
by the Lord of righteousness Mote
titan this we cannot say. In this re
spect, the pood Jew, rather than en
gage in Idle fan* i»»K and theories, I*
content to walk In faith, and, In the
words of the beautiful old hymn. h«
says i
Into His hand I commend my spirit
When I sleep and when I wake;
And with my spirit, my body also*

was the question of hls Messlahshlp
that created the cleft between the two
religions. No wonder it is ofttimn*
asked what belief we hold on the sub
ject. Now, on this point there is now,
as there always has been, difference
of opinion. Doubtless some Jews still
entertain the hope of a personal Mes
siah. Reform Jews, however, do not.
They do not believe in the miraculous
Meftkdah. All Jews, however, agree in
the hope for the advent of a Mes
sianic age—an age when humanity

he united in the pure worship of One
and Only God. "And the Lord shall
be king over all the earth: In that
day shall there be one Lord, and Ills
name one." (Zech. xtv, 9.) This Mes
sianic Ideal, toward which it is the
duty of all men to work and aspire,
we regard as one of the most bene
ficent gifts Israel has made to the
spiritual riches of the race.
Israel’s Duty,
Moreover, Israel as a peop’e, ns a
religious community, ns a spiritual
brotherhood, i« in duty bound to wonc
unremittingly for tho realization «of
this lofty ideal. To him this ideal,
was revealed of yore, to him the laws
of Its fulfillment were communicated
by the mouth of the Prophet.*, and up
on him was the Inviolable task laid
of spreading and furthering it with
nil his heart and all hi* soul and alt
tils might, at the price of no matter
how much trial and suffering. This,
the call, the ‘election, the mission of
Israel. This makes Israel what the
Prophets have called him, the Servant
of God. Thin is why Israel has been
"the man of Borrows" among the na
tions. despised and rejected of men,
stricken and afflicted and acquaintes
with grief, wounded and bruised, per
secuted and outlawed, humbled and
maimed, in order that he might wit
ness to the supreme Ideal, to God
and Righteousness, and cure mankind
of superstition and iniquity, and bring
nigh the age of Justice, of knowledge,
and of peace. Well may hhmanlty
say: "The chastisement of our peace
Is upon him and In hi* wounds there
it* healing for us!" (Isaiah lil.)
We believe that the Jew* will have
to continue to stand together and toil,
and suffer until the final fulfillment nt
their noble Ideal. That is our faith
ns to our future. Nor has our work
thus far berm in vain “The righteous
nourish like the palm-tree!" we are
told by the Psalmist, to which the old
rabbis add by way of romment: “When
you plant any other tree, it grows
for Itself; but plant n palm and it. will
put forth roots on all sides so the
righteous” May we not apply this

figure to Israel? Judaism has not only
nourished for itself, but has put forth
roots for other creeds. Israel's in
ftuenee is felt in the religious life of
the who.e civlilized world. It is felt
not only in the old forms of faith, but
also in the new liberal spirit which is
abroad in the land, and which insofar
as it is a departure from certain old
dogmas, marks a return to the pure
faith of Judaism. But even where we
have as yet failed of tangible proofs
of success, has our work been In vain,
though stem so It may? Such work is
never done in vain. It sleeps in the
very bosom of things, of the universe,
and only bides its time. Come forth
it shall, it is there. *Tls such faitn
the great Prophet puts into the mouth
of Israel: “Listen, I isles, unto Me,
and hearken, ye people from afar; the
Lord hath called me from the womb;
from the. bowels of my mother hath
Ho made mention of my name. And
He hath made my mouth like a sharp
sword: in the shadow of Hls hand hath
He hid me; He made me a polished
shaft; In Hls quiver hath He hid me;
and said unto me. Thou art my *erv
ant, O Israel, in whom I will be glori
fied. Then l said, I have labored
In vain, I have spent my strength for
naught and in vain: yet surely my
Judgment is with the Lord and my
work with my God.” Ilsalah xlix, 1-4.)
Such, in brief, are the Jewish belief*.
Tho Unity and the Holiness of God,
the goodness of the World, the divine
nature and the immortality of the Hu
man Soul, and the possibility of its
Communion with God, and the con
secration of Human Life; these ideas
are the foundation on which Judaism
has builded. Moreover, we believe in
the Election of Israel as a means to
an end, the end being the diffusion
of those Ideas among all men and
the ultimate reform of human life in
accord with them. Whenever this has
come true, It shall mean the Kingdom
of God on earth, the Messianic age,
the fulfillment of Israel’s highest Ideal.
