The Jewish outlook., 1906-09-07

A valuable addition to Jewish history
in the United States has just been issued
by the Board Of Managers Of the Jewish
Foster Home and Orphan Asylum Of
Philadelphia 1t is handsome volume
giving the history Of the institution and
the history Of the Jews Of that city for
the last fifty years.
Rebecca Gratz, secretary Of the Phila-
delphia Orphan Asylum, moved by the
presence Of Jewish orphans in the public
institution wrote an appeal in "The
Occident'' in April, 1850, which gave
incentive to the founding Of the Jewish
Foster Home and Orphan Asylum. The
building was dedicated May 1, 1855.
The history Of the institution for the
past fifty years is told in an interesting
manner It reflects credit upon the COM
mittee in charge Of the publication.
The Jewish outlook., 1906-09-07

hateful mind, like the Rev. John l.. Bel
ford seems to possess, is capable OF.
''The Jew lives by his wits, not by the
sweat of his brow. He seems to be a sort
of free lance, man without country.
He recruits no army. He sails no navy 7"
are some Of the priests ISLANDERS. Let
him visit the shops and factories of his
own city, greater New York. He will
find there thousands upon thousands OF
Jews earning their daily bread with the
sweat of their brows. Let him examine
the records Of our war and navy depart
ments and he will find Jewish names who
gave their blood for their country. And
Revolutionary War He was in the
ranks with the defenders Of the state
rights and he was also found among
those who gave their lives for the preser-
walton Of the Union. In the recent
Spanish-American war the Jew gave
more than his share TO attack the Jew
for lack Of patriotism is an anti-semitic
slander. The Jews do not pretend to be
faultless. They have their short-com
ings. They are human. What they OBJ
ject to is to charge up against the Jewish
race as whole the acts of an individual
Jew which merits condemnation.
Rev. Belford is a priest and as a fol-
lower of the supposed teachings of Jesus,
the Jew, he should teach his people char
ity and brotherly love; but it seems that
his article is a direct attempt to create
prejudice, an anti-semitic hatred against
the Jews in this country where it exists
at present in but very small degree,
compared with other countries.

The Jewish Outlook extends cordial
greetings to the Rev. DR.. and Mrs N.
Mosessohn Of Portland, Oregon, on the
completion Of their twenty fifth wedding
anniversary. May the good doctor and
his amiable wife live to enjoy their
golden jubilee!
The Jewish outlook., 1906-09-07

attack that has been directed against
the entire Jewish race has recently
been published by a Catholic priest
under the heading "Why the Jew Is
Hated" The Rev. John L. Belford Of
the Nativity church, Brooklyn, printed
in the September number of The Men
tor, monthly magazine which is the
organ Of the church Of the Nativity, un
der the above heading a most extrava-
CANT slander and unjust vituperation on
the entire Jewish race Some Of his at
tacks are:
"Their appearance is repulsive. They
are gross and unclean. They range from
the starved refugee from Russia, who is
filthy, to the conceited merchant or bank
er, whose shapeless form is disgusting.
They are a vain people. They love to
display their power and the power OF
their money. In dress they are loud. In
carriage they are aggressive. In language
they are noisy and vulgar. Their pres
ence is a detriment, not to say curse,
to any neighborhood, any city, any ma
ton. Witness their conduct in the street
car, in the parks, at the schools. They
are selfish and destructive what they
cannot use they seek to preempt or to
ruin. A visit to the teeming East Side
will convince anyone that they were wise
who confined the Jews to certain quar-
ter or Ghetto
They are naturally money getters, and
they are absolutely unscrupulous as to
how they get it. The goods they sell will
hardly bear inspection Their contracts
are apt to be snares for the unwary.
Their word has almost no value. Their
oath is no better than their word. In
the courts their evidence is a travesty,
and Jew on jury is not to be trusted.
Their dishonesty in the matter Of in
surance, life or fire, is proverbial, and
no one knows the damage to life and
property that has been caused by Jews
who burn houses for profit and destroy
goods for gain.
The Jew lives by his wits, not by the
sweat Of his brow He seems to be a
sort Of free lance, a man without a
country. He recruits no army. He sails
in no navy. He plants the red flag, or
works with or against government for
gain. He is natural gamester. The
race track and the gambling room are
his mines. They tell us there are nearly
100000 Jews in our city. How many
are laborers or mechanics? The Jewish
laborer or mechanic is as scarce as
autumn leaves in the midst Of the Allan
tic
Then the Jews we know are decidedly
irreligiorls. Materialism has made them
The Jewish outlook., 1906-09-07

sickly that they themselves complain OF
the Indifference Of the Jews to the poor,
the sick and the orphan -
Every fair-minded person will admit
that the above charges are groundless.
The attack is all the more baseless be-
cause it is wholesale SANDER made up
of sweeping statements and worthless
assertions.
The attacks on the Jews by such men
as Belford and Goldwin Smith proves
conclusively that there is a deep-rooted
hatred against the jew The Jew is dis
liked, nay even hated The causes lie not
in the faults Of the Jew, but in his vir-
tues. Blind jealousy, bigotry and ignor-
ance give rise to such hatred. And we
must admit, though reluctantly, that the
Jews are the most hated by the followers
Of orthodox Christianity. The past his
tory of Catholic France and Spain
proves this and the present prosecutions
in Russia substantiate it. There are lib
eral-minded orthodox Christians, who be-
ieve in according the privilege Of free
thought to others, but the great mass of
them are Jew haters and are availing
themselves Of every conceivable oppOr-
tunity Of showing that hatred.
1t is lnQeeQ useless TO answer Ine dC-
tack of Belford. 1t is groundless. The
prominence of the American Jew in all
walks Of life, business, professional and
philanthropic, refutes his accusations.
The Jewish hospitals, orphan asylums
and charitable institutions of every ma
ture spread all over the broad land OF
ours are monuments to the Jews liberal
ity and charitableness. The Jew does
not confine his charity to the poor Of his
people alone; his institutions are nom
sectarian. Everyone is sheltered and
helped regardless Of race or creed. The
National Jewish Hospital for Consump-
tives in our city is glorious illustration
Of the Jews liberality. Although it is
maintained, supported and managed by
Jews exclusively, nevertheless its doors
are open to all sufferers regardless Of
creed or religion. Jew, Catholic and
Protestant are treated alike. And so are
most of the Jewish institutions all over
the country. They are Jewish only so
far as the support is concerned The
Jews provide the funds to keep them up,
but the institutions extend helping
hand to all who are in need. Many
Christian institution, including Catholic,
has received generous support from
Jews. Our poor do not go to Rev. John
Il. Belford for help; they are amply pro-
vided for and taken care Of by their
well-to-do brothers. To accuse the Jews Of
"Charity, the fruit that grows Oh the
