JUDAISM AT THE WORLDS FAIR

This is the title of an article by
Rabbi Edward N. Calisch, that ap-
pears in the Columbian august
'93) number of the Colorado Mag
azine, and, like all the writings of
that scholarly divine, is clothed in
elegant diction and full of interest
throughout.
The question of religion having
found a place at the great fair
where the managers aimed to ex-
hibit and exemplify everything that
was worthy of attention in the his
tory of civilization, it became requi-
site that every belief should have
an opportunity to be presented in
the most favorable light. It was
the duty of Rabbi Calisch, in this
brief article, to describe the place
that Judaism is to occupy in it's re-
lation to other sects at the religious
congress, and this duty has been
performed ably and conscientiously.
The aim of the Jewish exhibit is
depicted in the following paragraph:
" Since the existence of our religion. no
such opportunity as this has ever been ex-
tendedeto the Jew to set himself right before
The Jewish South. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1893-1899, 1893-09-01

on cattle, that the average schochet
in examining the slaughtered beef,
searched for signs of lung trouble
only. Like a human, an animal
may be perfectly sound about the
lungs and still be seriously affected
from other causes; or, vice versa,
the lungs may be slightly affected
and the flesh still not unftfor food.
By this same person we were
told of an instance where schochet
condemned as unsound beef that
the butcher insisted was good. 1t
was the Judgment of one man pit
ted against that Of the other. AS
there was no way of enforcing the
decision, the meat was put on the
stall and sold.
Not less than a month ago, we
saw, or rather heard, a schochet
kill a fowl at night in the dark.
Such a function was nothing more
or less than mummery, as there is
certainly no protection emanating
from the few words customarily
mumbled.
The eating of kosher meat is by
no means a matter of sentiment,
but a health precaution. Unless
the consumer can feel he is fully
protected, the superseding Of the
schochet by a municipal Inspector,
(if he be honest and competent)
with power to enforce his DEGREES,
will be in nowise Objectionable.

MEAT INSPECTION.

WIEN IiNST ~ ISN.
ANENT the ordinance now pend
ing in the Richmond City Council
for the compulsory inspection of
meat and milk, the following, from
the Chicago Israeite's correspond
ence, is quite pertinent:
"The method of Strengthening and
examining animals as prescribed by
the Mosaic code is a very good
thing. A diseased animal should
certainly be rejected as unfit for hui
man food. / would like to know
how many professional slaughterers
of animals are sufficiently compe-.
tent and honest to fulfill the duties
Of their office. Most of them know
there is something wrong if they
discover a mass of tubercle as big
a hat, or a lung cavity large enough
to admit their fists, and that is the
extent of their knowledge of veter-
mary morbid anatomy; of any
manifestations less gross they know
no more than the average butcher.
As rule the SchOchtim are poor,
and at the mercy of their employers,
the butchers, and they do not dare
reject an animal at the risk of of
Tending their patrons are not
consumers. There is one feature
Of the Jewish method Of slaughter
ing, however, that is beneficial, and
that If the cutting of the arteries of
the throat with the animal in a
hanging position. BY this means
the bloodis more thoroughly drain
ed from the flesh, thus rendering the
flesh less liable to putrefactive
changes. AS to the immunity from
disease resulting from the official
examination, it is about on par
with the cleanliness resulting from
ritual washing. | would like to
know how many animals have been
rejected by the schochets of Phila-
delphia during the past six months.
Not one, I'll wager"
Whilst some of the above is rath-
er harsh, it does not lack the essen
TALLY of truth.
We were once told by an expert
The Jewish South. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1893-1899, 1893-09-01

mainly is indebted to us, what is our atti-
tude toward other religions, and in what
respect Judaism is still indispensable to the
highest civilization"
The writer then delineates the
share of work allotted to each of
the great leaders and representa-
tives of Judaism, and gives a bret
biography of each, In the course
of his article he produces some terse
comprehensive sentences, such as
the following:
Judaism is not a nationality but a creed"
"a Jew differs from his fellowman only in
faith II.
1T is strange how persistcntly the aver
age mind insists upon regarding the Jew as
foreigner"
In the following paragraph he
has expressed an admirable senti-
ment:
Judaism is not likely to be absorbed
1t possesses within itself all the requisites of
universal religion. It's catholicity and
broadness are more fitted to embrace the
nations than the restricted limits Of secta-
rianiSm."
The entire production is one of
great strength and marked by that
degree of ability which is the ready
accompaniment Of everything that
comes from Rabbi Ca1isch's hand.
If there be a single flaw, it is to
be found in the too utopian para
agraph which concludes the article
and reads as follows:
ring elements. They are like the Tigris and
Euphrates rivers, flowing side by side, en-
riching the bosom of humanity wherein they
glide. Will they always be separate, or will
they like these streams, unite their water in
one channel? For mine own part l say they
will unite, though will not venture to say
on what ground, or by what method except
it be that man, recognizing the unity of the
human family, recognizes the inevitable and
logical concluson-the unity of humanity's
God This is the mission to whose fulfill
ment Judaism is pledged
To our mind non-proselytizing
! Judaism must first change it's tao
tics and claim it's own, before it
can hope las this seems to IMPLY
to convert it's sister religion. And
so long as it's followers cannot agree
among themselves as to the teach
ings of it's belief, there remains but
small hope OF agreement with
others. PROFESSIONALLY, the first
duty of Jewish leaders is to har-
monte the discordant factions
within it's own boundaries and
thus blaze the way for that period
which Rabbi Calisch SO APPLY de
picts when he says:
Her Messiah is not giant of war, but
an era of peace. Her messiamic period is
the fruition of her hope of the complete uni
fcation of the human family"

the world. 1t would, therefore, be criminal
negligence did we not embrace this chance
to proclaim broadcast, through such men,
as by their learning, their ripeness of
Judgment, their character and their works
will command general recognition and at
tention, what our fundamental doctrines,
hopes and aims have been, what are the
chief spiritual contributions for which hui
mainly is indebted to us, what is our atti-
tude toward other religions, and in what
respect Judaism is still indispensable to the
highest civilization
