The Essence of Modern Judaism
A Series of Thirteen Lectures.

the fact that some of the most ex alted chapters of the Hebrew Bible
 particularly the prophecies of Ho- sea, Jeremiah and the Second lsalah, and the books of Ruth an> Joenah, and above all the eXquisit. poetry of the Psalms and the sub lime prose of the Hebrew Pra. CTS, the latter but few centuries younger than the Bible-al i breathe the intensest spirit of love
 mercy and charity.
 Modern Judaism Not Fossil.
 The truth is that no person is
 really competent to speak with au
 thority on the standpoint of moi ern Judaism who through absence
 of information or through malir formation allows himself to re- peat the absurd fancy that Judaism is fossil, failing, as he does, take due notice of it's development | and growth during the many cen turies after the Bible was closed
 and particularly of it's self-renova- l tion and broadened outlook during the last one hundred years. It's lat est development, modern Judaism, l is, we maintain, in complete har- 1 mony with the highest thought of | the day and in every way represents the religion of the cultured man Of our time.
 Modern Judaism Has No Creed. "Although in the twelfth cen tury the great religious philoso- 1 pher. Mainconides, formulated a 1 creed containing the thirteen arti-
 cles of faith which soon became
 popular and remained popular for many centuries, the dogmas enum erated were never accepted as final
 in their authority or even in mum
 ber or construction nor were the

 doctrines declared as fundamental

 tiyes of the people. Modern Juda-
 ism. at all events, does not acknoWl,

construct his own religious philos ophy. Each congregation is au-
 tOnomous. It is the court of last
 resort in the interpretation of wh;
 Judaism is and to it alone is U
 Jewish rabbi answerable for his II
 terances. This absence of creed
 and of a superior central authority
 in modern Judaism is the sourC
 of both weakness and strength
 The weakness arises from the wal
 of a powerful organization
 forces like that which distinguisl
 es the Roman Catholic church. Th strength lies in the untrammele
 liberty of belief and practice whi it allows to all it's adherents, thu
 insuring absolute honesty and sin
 cerity. In my mind the gain more than coniterbalances the loss. 'rhe views here expressed ar' therefore my personal ones and ny, congregation is the sole arbiter of their propriety and representativ character as Jewish or not It i:: natural, however, that common
 history, a common people and
 common outlook and hope should lead Jewish rabbis to agree on ce' tain fundamental principles. An so, after all, my views are, broadl speaking, but a reflex of the gene ally accepted views on what COT
 stitutes the essentials of moder'
 Judaism.

 qualifications of religion that
 cultured man could accept. Do
 modern Judaism possess the fl" qualification? Is it in absolH. harmony with the latest accepted , researches of science? It most g: | suredly is. It does not claim speak with authority on any subje' that comes within the legitimat decision of science. It discredir the belief in miracles; it maintai that the Bible is of human autho, 1 :hip. These instances are typical 'Ts general enlightened view on Il necessity of unanimity between r.

Rabbi Ephraim Frisch delivered the third of his series of lecture on The Essence of Modern Juda lsm'' at the Temple Friday night. The special theme used was Do
 Modern Judaism Represent the R
 Iigion of the Cultured Man of T. day. He said in part:
 One of the strange and exasper- ating characteristics of the ignor- ant is their stubborn Obstinacy in arguing against propositions that were never made O.. if male, have been long abandoned You may protest a thousan1l times Laa5 they are exhausting their strerSth fighting dummies created and set up by their own wi'G imagination; it will be of no avail. They will go on contending with what they fancy you believe, battling like madmen with the ghosts of yestef- day or, worse still, with spirits that never did people the earth.
 "To this class of obstinate lgno- ramuses belong those persons who attack Judaism for certain prlncl- ples and practices which either were never current in Judaism or at least have been abandoned for centuries. To illustrate: Every once in a while you will hear some one deliver an impassioned sermon inveighing against the alleged cruelty of Judaism in allowing the principle of "an eye for an eye to be enforced when as a matter oi fact the rabbis of Christ's days al ready interpreted this law to mean damages to the value of an eye and not the eye itself. and indeed is extremely doubtful whether the law in it's literal meaning was ever enforced at any time in Isreal's his tory. Again, it happens very ire quently that a fiery orator unde the delusion that he has discovered a great truth launches into Juda- ism for being religion of law de void of the warmth of love an mercy, all the time being either pn consciously ignorant or keepine himself wilfully uninformed of
