OUR MODERNIZED FAITH

The adage "When in Rome do as
the Romans do" expresses a bit of
wisdom that has been equivalently
phrased by all peoples. The Jews of
the Talmudic age coined the saying
"When you go to the city, follow it's
customs" This is applicable to all
the aspects of life. Mans religious
practices should not be exempt from
this rule, as long as his honest convic-
tons are not sacrificed Even the
most ardent Jewish nationalist cannot
with any good reason claim that the
Jew living in the Occident should in
his religious practice remain an ORR
entail. Only unreasoning bigots or
arrant hypocrites will ever lay stress
on the necessity of Orientalism in Our
religion The truly religious person
knows the ritual, ceremonial, and re-
ligious custom are only a means to
faith, object lessons in the acknowledge
of God" and not of the essence of
religion. Our religious forms and ex-
ercises may be in full harmony with
Occidental standards of propriety and
good taste, and be made all the more
impressive and valuable, without Our
sacrificing an iota of the essentials of
Jewish doctrine.

THE REGENERATION OF A
PEOPLE.

The anniversary of Theodore
Herbs death has again furnished the
occasion for large numbers of our peo-
pie to pay their annual tribute to the
haloed memory of the great regener-
ator Of the Jewish national hope AS
the years go by the majestic figure of
Theodore Herzl looms ever larger on
our historic horizon, as is the case
with all great national characters. He
came just at the right moment in our
modern life, a moment of discourage
ment and despair, brought on by hos
tile forces without, and disintegrating
processes within Israel's camp. He
was the great physician who prescribed
once the right remedy He redis-
covered Israels ancient ideal. If the
Jews wish to continue to live as Jews,
to realize all their hopes and aspira-
tons, and to make their lives blessing
to the world, they must strive with all
their might to live as a nation again
in land of their own That will, to
begin with, save the Jews from gradu-
al dissolution The rest may be left
to Israel's religious genius. the genius
that gave the world the greatest law

That is exactly the position of the
liberal or Reform synagog. 1t stands
for modernized, Occidentalized Jew
ish worship. Its carping critics are
prompted only by unreasoning amino
sity or habit of fault finding. They
know that the old-fashioned synagog
can only repel our Americanized
youth instead of attracting them It's
religious exercises are unintelligible
and strange to them. It is true,
the liberal synagog does not see
them any too often within its
walls either That is due to the
frivolous irreligious spirit of the times,
the spirit that moves people to seek
pleasure above all else, and to disre-
gard the more serious phases of life.
But once the young person finds him
self within the precincts of the modern
liberal synagog he cannot fail to be
impressed and edited, and to take it's
message to heart
Are not the critics of the liberal
synagog at all concerned about the
religious life and thought of their
young people? Would they have
them grow up without knowledge of,
and faith, in God? Let them by all
means continue in their attitude to-
ward Reform temples. The Jew
without faith in God, without the re-
ligious ideal of life, be he ever so
ardently nationalistic is after all a
poor specimen of a Jew

givers and prophets. But these law
givers and prophets sprang from the
loins of the nation of Israel, and not
from the scattered members of a
world-dispersed Jewish religious COM
munity.
That was Theodore Herbs vision.
To this ideal he gave the best part
and power of his life. Like Moses
he was not destined to enter the land
of promise. He saw it from afar,
and directed our steps thitherward.
He babe us have Our goal ever in
sight, and not to turn from the path
leading to it either to the right or the
left. And on the anniversary of his
death it is we'll that we rededicate our
selves to the aspiration with which we
have been reimbued by him. We shall
not heed our foolish counselors and
misguided and blind leaders who
point out to us the merit of remaining
a dispersed religious community, tell
ing us that such is Our divinely imposed
mission, and warning us against the
evils of nationalism. If the American
people, one of the youngest of nation
al groups, is animated by vigorous
national sentiment, and finds it's
strength and glory in it, shall not we
Jews, one of the oldest of historic
bodies, find renewed vitality in Our
national consciousness? That Our
hope Of a Jewish national restoration
in no wise conflicts with Our American
loyalty and Our dc yotion to the inter-
ests of the country of Our adoption,
can be denied only by those who have
neither the intelligence nor the non
esty to sit in judgment on moral is
sues.

Joy FOR SUMMER TOURISTS.

The summer resort and summer
hotel business is sadly demoralized.
The advent of the automobile has
undermined the foundation of its
prosperity. The uncertainty of the
seasons in these ATTITUDES, war-times
and the high cost of living, have made
additional breaches in it. Yet many
of the summer caravanserais are kept
open and are trying to do business,
and mine host is not at all willing to
lose money in his venture. AS re-
suit the suffering public is suffering
still more. Many widely advertised
vacation pleasure emporium is, upon
closer inspection, found to be nothing
but a cheap, much-neglected "joint,"
good enough for sporty young people
who wish to spend the weekend in
carousal, but not fit place for re-
spectacle people who seek little quiet
comfort. The proprietor or manager,
accustomed to dealing with clientele
that holds money in contempt when
in quest of gaiety, becomes a greedy,
constituencies robber, and makes his
guest pay all that the traffic will bear.
Sometimes he is only the "pal' of the
debauches who frequent his place.
In the meantime the decent summer
vacationist can only try this place and
that, since he has no reliable infor
nation to go by, and spend most of his
money on railroad fares and livery
charges. For the benefit of our
readers and friends we should like to
