leave the Jewish fold by entering
the church themselves, but who have
seen to it that their children should
not suffer from any Jewish handi
cap, and are therefore, raising their
children as Christians. We suspect
that we have many such Jews in this
country, too, who tho they do not
raise their children as Christians,
l. e. as baptized members of some
Christian church, are not particu
larly anxious that they should re-
main Jews.
And now we have reached the
crux Of the matter. Is Jew really
a good Jew who shows no keen de-
sire that his children and children's
children should remain Jews; who,
in other words, does not wish to see
Jews and Judaism perpetuated ?
Does the mere fact that he is still
a Jew by association, and active in
some Jewish affair, and, if his means
permit, liberal contributor to Jew
ish philanthropy, bear witness to his
genuine Jewishness? We say en-
phatically, no. The real Jew, the
one who is such from conviction and
choice, who takes pride in his Jew
ishness, and finds satisfaction and
10y in it, naturally wishes to see
Jews and Judaism preserved; wish
es to see his own offspring continue
his Jewish life and transmit it in
turn to their offspring. That is the
test of real, genuine Jewishness.
How can he best demonstrate it?
Not by joining Jewish fraternity,
or obtaining membership in Jew
ish club even tho it be of the liter
airy or cultural variety, nor even by
contributing to Jewish philanthropy.
By doing that he is simply making
a virtue of necessity. He is living
among his fellow Jews and with
them, and must do what is expect
ed of him, or what will yield him
some social satisfaction. All such
organizations live only for the Jew
ish present and not for the Jewish
future. Their object is not to pre-
serve Jews and Judaism for the flu
ture, but to minister to Jews in the
present.
There are only two organized
forces in modern Jewry which are
working for the preservation of Jews
and Judaism: one is the religious,
represented by the synagog; the
other is the nationalistic, represent
ed by Zionism. The synagog seeks
to Undue the Jew with love for his
faith and it's ideals, and is emphasize

the Jewish fold entirely, and have
nothing in common with the Jews
any more. The majority, however,
cling to their Jewish associations,
and even belong to some Jewish
congregation, and consider them
selves as good Jews as they ever
we're, nay, even as better Jews.
They, too, do not seem to grasp the
idea that Jew cannot adhere to the
new cult which is typically Chris
tan based on New Testament doc
trine, and still be Jew. Nay, our
Christian Science Jews cannot even
claim to be Jews by nationality, for,
as rule, they do not recognize any
Jewish nationality.
These startling examples of in
consistency and confused thinking
in the modern Jewish world need no
further comment or discussion. A
more interesting subject for serious
reflection and study is afforded us
by large number of Jews at the
present time who are as yet nothing
else but Jews, and all of whose as
soclatlons are Jewish and who are
as far from the church as they are
from the mosque, but who somehow
do not give the impression of being
really and genuinely good Jews. The
genuineness of their Jewishness
may be seriously questioned, in spite
of the fact that they may be afiliat
ed with one or another Jewish or
ganization, philanthropic, fraternal
or cultural, and be active in its af-
fairs. We have reason to assume
that they are Jews because they
were born of Jewish parents, and
were raised in Jewish homes, and
have thus naturally grown into Jew
ish association, and therefore, can
not help themselves any more. They
are Jews by social necessity For
one reason or another they cannot
sever their Jewish connections. Are
they satisfied with or happy in, their
Jewishness? Do they take any pride
in it? Does it mean anything to
them besides the regrettable fact
that they are what they are and can
not help it any more? That is ques-
tionable.

Jews in Germany who have not had

Recently our attention was called
by certain news items to a peculiar
phenomenon in Russian Jewry. Dur
ing the last years of Russian perse-
cution under the old regime, num-
Der of Jews, who could not crafty
their ambitions in their academic or
professional careers because of the
educational, civil and political dis
abilities from which the Jews of the
empire suffered, determined, to
choose the only avenue open to
them leading to their desired goal,
namely, conversion to the dominant
faith. They became Greek ortho-
dox Christians. But whenever they
were required to give their biograph
ical data, they stated that while they
were Christians by religion, they
were Jews by nationality.
When the new order of things
which the revolution brought about
secured for the Jews not only liberty
and equality but also according to
the new government policy, their
recognition as a national group with
a certain measure of communal au-
tonomy, those converted Jews were
not. slow in approaching their for
mer brethren with the demand that
they be considered as fellow-nation-
ais, and given voice in the manage
ment of Jewish affairs in the en-
pire. They evidently still consider
themselves Jews in spite of their
conversion in which they remain
steadfast They wish to be known
as Christian Jews, or Jews of the
Greek Orthodox Church. That the
loyal Jews of Russia will never al
low these renegades voice in Jew
ish affairs goes without saying. A
Jew cannot be Jew and a Chris
tan at the same time. He is either
the one or the other Yet those self
styled Christian Jews don't seem to
grasp this idea.
This peculiar phenomenon in Rus
STA, however, need not be so surpris-
ing to us. We have similar one
here in our own country. Many
Jews and Jewesses in our country
have for one reason or another en-
braced the new Christian Science
cult, and regularly attend the Chris
tan Science church. Some of them
have been consistent enough to leave
