Jewish Orthodoxy and RefOrm-The War
Waxing Warm.
From the Jewish Times (reform) Of June 241
One OF contemporaries 1.-THE Jelctsh MessertgerJ
pretending to represent orthodox America occa-
sonaily gets likewise into passion, and pronounces
fiat on matters and things, without knowing or
probably caring TO know, what 1t Is talking about.
30 1t says In Its last is6ue:-
PHILADELPHIA RADIoALIsM.-Is It true that on and
on a ns en
be true the next viii probably be the subs
on OF c OF & a,s for the Ter
of this temple.
We cannot answer positively whether 1t is true
that there will be Sunday service introduced in
the Temple at Philadelphia, but we viii assume it
Is What sin Is 1t to have such a service Since
when are Jews allowed to worship on certain days
dox periodical may not know 1t perhaps;
but 1t is not many years since that Jew
the year and that service was held therein
thrice day. There are this DAY even great num-
Der OF synagogues where service is held on Satur-
days and SUNDAYS and every day in the week. Is it
wrong, according to Jewish law orthodox or re-
form, or any otner law, to worship God on Sunday
and to address congregation of Jews on religion
and morals, perhaps on the wrong committed IN
violating the SabbathP Ii there Is such o law we
would liketo know IT, and we should feel obliged if
our contemporary would tell us where to find it. y
Rev. Dr. Elnh0rn, who over and over again has
denounced from the pulpit the dissertation Of the
Sabbath has made proposition at the last Rabbini-
cal Conference that periodical weekday service be
introduced in the synagogues on a Sunday. He has
AT all times spurned the idea or transfer OF the
Jewish Sabbath to Sunday; and yet he believes that
an opportunity should be given to those who could or
would not visit the synagogue on Saturday to
attend public worship Oh day which society com
pelS them to keep as day OF rest. We firmly be.
lieve that such movement would strengthen our
faith than otherwise. 1t is not transferring the
sabbath to any other day-alas in practice 1t has
been transferred-that cannot be done and never
VIII be done; II 1S merely opening the synagogue for
public worship on day which Is otherwise spent in
idieness and offering an opportunity 10 Jews to de-
vote more than two or three days in the year to a
higher object than the chase after material objects
From the Jewish Messenger ORTHODOXY OF June 81
IT Is TRUE.-Last week DR.. Hirsch held his first
Sunday ''servce" in his temple in Philadelphia
This is to accommodate those pew owners who can
not leave their business on Sabbath Why not tear
OF your mask at once, Dr. Hirsch, and proclaim
boldly what your intentions are? y
A Virginia congregation advertises for "Reader
q la DR.. Einhorn., What sort Of a reader IS that
We have heard OF Lamb chops la Jardidieren
Marriage u Ia MOden and ''Puddlng q la Hon

horn" Can the Doctor inform US what this new
style Of reader means?
And speaking OF Jewish Sunday schools the same
journal, closes q long article theoretically on the
strict observance OF the Sabbath as foloWs-
1t may be important to cause children to declaim
the Fourth commandment, TO speak aloud, doubtless

IL produce on parents who, hearing their children
in place devoted TO holiness declare those words
written with the finger OF God,r knowing as they
do that they Violate Its sancJity, deridng the word
OF God and disregardlng the most important or all
religious dutiesl What feeling must agitate the
breast Of the young when they soemnly declare their
readiness to observe the command, knowing as they
must, that II Is not observed by those they deem
their cloud OF protection by day, their pillar OF fire
