"The Jew. his work and his world,
/ his ideals and aspirations, have been
constantly misunderstood and misin-
tarpreted Hence the Jew has been

/ history until the present time. He
has been protesting against the in.

oncd the very heart Of the world
Having enumerated some Of these
alsehoods. such as the hostile atti-
'ude of the Jew toward Jesus, the
I curse Of the Jew. because of his re-
! lection Of the Christ, and that mos,
tragic of ALL the crucifMon of Jesus,
Dr. Greenburg proceeded to combat
them.
"Our religion has invariably pre-.
served the kindliest and fairest atti-
tude toward this sublime character
and toward Christianity. We do not
deny the transcendent beauty of his

Of his idealism, his marvellous spirit
uality, and his magnificent example;
we do not even deny that he was a
son of God, for it is a fundamental
! Jewish idea that all the sons of men
are the sons of Cod The only thing
We do deny is that Jesus was the
only begotten son of God
Jews Revere Jesus"
Modern Jews revere that entranc-
ingly beautiful character as one of
the great prophets of Israel. We
have been accused Of. being a race
of Shylocks and self-seeking mater
Ialists; but If the truth be known,
the Jew has proved himself to be
| the most spiritual-minded man on
the face of the earth, for the genius
of his wonderful religion of love has
enabled him to override the worlds
blind hatred and cruel injustice. and
live to see the day when Hebraic
principles and ideals are dominating
the best minds OF the world.
THE jew has survived, not by a
miracle OF God. but because he has
proved himself to be morally among
the fittest of mankind. II under the
most unthinkable conditions the re-
ligion of the Jew could make life
worth living, it seems to me that the
world ought to bow in reverent ST.
lence before such a creed. and love
