Problems of New York's East Side

"A long carriage ride took us to the
Educational Alliance in the heart Of the
Jewish city on the East Side, and there,
about o'clock Friday evening, we par
ticipated in the old-style orthodox SER
vice, but under notifications which de-
serve elaborate description. DR.. David
Blaustein, the superintendent of the Ed
ucational Alliance, recently conceived
the idea of organizing the young emil
grants of the East Side into society for
the prosecution of religious worship un-
der conditions somewhat different from
those obtaining under the Russian en-
vironment within which they had been
brought up. 1t may seem paradoxical
to say that the East Side needs such en-
couragement for the prosecution Of wor-
ship, and yet that is a lamentable truth,
the extent of which even New York
hardly appreciates. TO be sure, the East
Side is a Jewish city, but a Jewish city
need not necessarily mean a religious
city, and it certainly is a source of won
derment to me that anyone could under
take to make the statement that this East
Side of New York with it's 900 Jews
is not a religious community. We who
live on the outskirts and on the edges OF
the country nave an impression InaI tHlS
so-called ghetto is not merely represent
ing the various aspects Of economic life,
but gives form and expression to all the
great variety of Jewish ideals which nee
essarily would include therefore, great
loyalty to the ancient forms Of worship
and persistent maintenance Of the atti-
tude Of respect toward tradition. With
out intending to be too sweeping in my
declarations, l have observed that this
attitude is not as rigid as we might ex-
pect. 1t was Friday evening and far be-
yound the Sabbath hour, and yet the
ghetto was busy. Its stores were open,

petty venders, it's people perambulating,
and that serene quiet that we in the days
OF our youth were accustomed to behold
in the quarter was utterly absent. Of
course, this confirms my old-time doctrine
that it is impossible in the United States
to create anything like distinct Jewish
environment; that our people with their
remarkable aptitude and their gift OF
adaptation will unconsciously absorb
American habits and customs, and will
find vent for their energy in any way
that does not seem to be illegal, and so L
should have been quite prepared for this
aspect of the city on the East Side, but
DR.. Baustein, in the sermon he gave his
young people, emphasized this question
so thoroughly that | should give you an
outline of what he said and assuredly
if anyone speaks with authority he does.
But first word about the service: 1t
was as l said before, the old orthodox
service with bit of modification remi-
niscent of the English synagogues, with
this exception, that with remarkable apti-
tude his young men and women sang the
old Hebrew melodies in chorus, and sang
them well and impressively. This inno
walton is in itself dangerous so far as the
East Side is concerned and the refOrmer
must prepare himself for opposition on
the part of the parents Of these young
people with whom innovation always
means danger, and whose environment so
far as their religious influences are con-
cerned is as distanctly Russian to-day as
it was at the time they arrived But for
all that the service was conservative, con-

The Jew and Christmas
By DR.. Emil G. Hirsch.

AS developed in recent decades, and
more especially in the United States,
Christmas has come to be the symbol and
expression of the tenderest sympathies
to which the heart Of man may throb in
responsive rhythm. No longer speaking
the harsh dialect of dogmatic scholasti-
cism, it phrases it's wider message in the
flowing vocabulary of the all-including
humanities. 1t loves to bring to memory
of adult the gloriously child-like in the
motives and sentiments that prompt and
pervade the truly human. Its song of
brotherhood outruns the hating metres
of sect and sept, of clan and class. Sweep
ing with the stars flight through the
zones, it's proclamation Of good will
awalens answering echoes under every
sky.
What about the Jew? Does he have
part in the unifying joy Of the rare hour
when differences Of station and origin
are fused in the consciousness of the
equivalence and equality Of all men?
10 the theological associations Of the
festival the Jew must take exception.
The day Of the nativity of the Christ
may be and is, to use the significant
term coined by Chrysostom, ''the me-

fore the Jew could recognize it as such
he would have to be convinced that all
the centuries elapsed since the event thus
remembered, which for him and his an
cestors have been years Of trials and
tears, he has walked in willful blindness.
AS long as the Jew is attached to his own
religion he will not, he can not admit this.

world in the night when the shepherds.
