Israel Zangwill sharply attacked the
upholders Of orthodox Judaism IN
letter read yesterday AZ the fifth an

Menorah Society, held at Earl Hail.
Columbia University.
The noted British writer contended
that the rabbis had alicnated both the
great masses Of Jewish people and the
intellectual classes by their utter fail

ings with modern life and modern prog
ress. lie declared that, in Great Bri-
tain. only the anti-Semitic feeling kept
the believers Of Judaism together.
After dividing the contending forces
Of Judaism into those who believed Ju-
daism a mission, to be achieved through
religion, and those who thought OF II
as a country, he continued:
"The trouble with the Jewish mis-
sioners is not that they are AFRO
giant. but that they do not function.
Had they been as devoted 70 theiT
mission as the Zionists TO their terri
torial concept. the war for Jewry-
and perhaps for the world-might have
gone differently. But in practice the
