PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 5 (speciah.-The chief topic in
Hebrew circles to-day Is the resignation OF Dr. Morris
Jastrow IT,. who has filed the Office OF lecturer in the
Rodef shalem Synagogue at Broad and Spring Garden
sts. In renouncng Judaism he says the time had now
arrived when he felt in duty bound to resign that In
erng his connection with the synagogue he felt that
could be Jew and yet need not necessarily believe
in the doctrines Of Judaism Judaism demanded that he
believe the divinity OF the Ten Commandments and the
divine authorship OF the Scriptures These he could not
believe in and remain in position that de-
his adherence such doctrines. Judaism was
religion OF dOgmas and such he could not accept IT. He
saw reason why there should not be a congregation
composed OF Jews that did not believe in the doctrine OF
Judaism To such he could speak with clear conscience
His father Dr. Morris JastrOw Rabbi OF kOdef Shalem
Synagogue will reply to his sons remarks next Saturday
