Among
the Jews

due to it, The reason for this by no
means unjustifable criticism can be
traced to the commandment, ''Thou
shalt not make unto thee any image or
likeness of God" Thus sculpture and
painting in which the classical Greeks
excelled, found little opportunity for de-
velopment among the ancient Hebrews.
The prohibition Of plastic art was also
applied to images which were not OBJ
jects of divine worship and idolatry.
The pious rabbis of post Biblical times
even avoided gazing at the pictures en-

before placing it in their houses.
In the same measure as idOlatry
greatly aided in developing plastic art
as far as it endeavored to bring the De-
ity in ever more beautiful form before
the eye Of the worshiper, Judaism was
determined to lift God above the realm
of the sensual and to represent him as
spirit only. The Romans ridculed the
Jews on this account. ''There is no
image in the temples of the Jews,
scornfully exclaimed Tacitus 1.-The
Jews worship nothing but clouds,
sneered Juvenal. A Roman general un-
der Titus, entering the Temple Of Je-
rusalem and opening the ark hoping to
find there the Jewish God, disappoint-
edly shouted, "The Jews are atheists. -
Whatever the Church did during tn,
Middle Age toward developing plastic
art-and she certainly deserves credit
in this regard-.was, and to some extent
is still looked upon by the Jews as a re-
lapse into pagan idolatry. A statue OF
Jesus, the "Virgin' Mary, OF the apos-
ties and saints is in the eyes Of Juda-
ism no better than statue OF Jupiter,
Apollo, Venus or Juno. There exists
to this day among the Jews strong feel
ing against ornamenting and decorating
the synagogue with statues or pictures,
even of Moses and the phophets. In
fact, all the pictures and statues of
Moses and the prophets which we find
in museums, picture galleries, etc, are
merely imagination of the artists. be-
cause there never existed an original pic
ture of those men. 1t is very doubtful
whether true picture Of Jesus was ever
taken. The prophets waged such fierce
fight against images that not only was
any representation of God forbidden,
but even the portraiture of living be-
ings, man or beast Even as late as the
nineteenth century,, Rabbi Moses Sofer
Schneider of Pressburg was asked
whether a stained glass window above
the ark bearing the figure of the sun
with rays and inscribed, "From the ris-
ing of the sun even to the going down Of
the same Gods name is to be praised,''
would be permitted in synagogue He
answered no. because he claimed the peo-
pie bowling to the ark on entering the
synagogue would worship the SUM-

for stealing away from his house. in
which he lived twenty years, exclaimed,
'Why didst thou flee secretly; why

sent thee away with mirth, songs, Ia

the Hebrews without music, in private
at their meals. The prophet Amos de-
scribes them as follows: "Thcy lie upon
beds Of ivory, are stretched out upon
their couches. eat lambs out Of the flock.
and calves out Of the midst OF the stall.
