EDl TORIAL !
THE FIFTEENTH OF SHEVAT.

1t is interesting and gratifying to
know in how many instances the
genius of Israel has anticipated
American ideas and institutions.
America has it's great day of politi-
cal birth, it's Fourth of July. We
Jews have had our Passover for at
least $500 years, concentrating
the natal day of IsraePs national
life. The Pilgrim Fathers intro
duced the Thanksgiving Day into
Americas religious life. We have
had our Succoth festival with the
same underlying thought of thanks
giving for plentiful harvests ever
since Biblical times.
More recent is the idea of an Ar
Dor Day among the annual observ-
ances of the American calendar.
But ever since the Mishnah period
we Jews have had our Arbor Day on
the fifteenth of Shevat. The ff-
teenth of Shevat, so the authorities
of the Mishnah tell us, is New Years
Day for the trees. 1t is the time in
Palestine when the rainy winter
season is over, and the life-sap be-
gins to course through the trunks

and branches of the trees. Accord
ingly the day was observed as half
holiday, a day of rejoicing and some
festivity. With this day the yearly
planting of trees began. Fruits were
distributed to children, and adults,
too, considered it meritorious to eat
more fruit on this day than usual
In American Jewish life the ff-
teenth of Shevat is hardly known.
But Zionism and the new Hebraic
culture in Zionistic circles are bring
ing about a revival of the celebration
of the day, especially among the
young people, for which we should
be dull y thankful.

OUR SABBATH.

Judging by appearances the Jew
in America and in West European
countries has lost his Sabbath. We
know that the Jewish Sabbath is no
longer observed by us as a day of
rest. If anything, most Jews work
harder and longer hours on the Sab
bath day than on any weekday.
This is due entirel y to the exigen-
cies of modern economic conditions,
and the weakening or passing away
of the authority of the Jewish law
for the modern Jew. The fear that
the Jew formerly felt of violating
his law has vanished, and CONNER
cially Saturday is the busiest, and,
therefore, the most important, day
of the week.
And yet, although our Sabbath
is no longer our day of rest, it need
not be lost to us, or abandoned by
us, entirely. For our Sabbath has
for us double significance. While
it was primarily intended as week
ly day of rest, most benefcent in
stitution when hard labor was the
common lot of all people except the
lords and masters of society, it was
also cherished in Israel as sign of
lsraeps covenant with God.
In modern times when the toll of
the mass of humanity has been con-
siderably ightened, when in all civ
ilized countries one day of rest is
weekly enjoyed by most people any
way, it is the other idea, the idea of
the covenant involved in our Sab
bath, that should be accentuated by
us. AS sign of the covenant, of
Israel's loyalty to his God, our Sab
bath may be observed even without
abstention from labor. One hour
of Sabbath worship, and one hour of
Sabbath festivity in the home, may
be enough as a reminder that the
seventh day is our historical Sab
bath and that it's prime significance
is that it is sign of our covenant.
Some day when the life of the ma
jority of Jews will be regulated
again by their own laws and insti-
buttons, in a land of their own, the
Sabbath will once more become the
Jews day of rest

THE WAR OF THE PHILOSO-
Pliers.
February. 9; 1917

not enough tor the world a merry
little war is being carried on in
portion of the Jewish press between
two Jewish philosophers in this
country, Prof. David Neumark of
the Hebrew Union College, and Prof.
Isaac Husik of the University of
Pennsylvania. 1t is a war for SUI
premacy not on sea or land, but in
the philosophic empyrean. AS in the
present European carnage, each
principal belligerent has his allies.
1t started in this manner Pro-
lessor Ncumark, who is an author
ity on Medieval Jewish philosophy,
has for some time been publishing
parts of very pretentious, scholar
ly History of Jewish Philosophy of
the Middle Ages. Prof Husik, who
has also studied the Jewish Medic
val philosophers, but whose special
ty is Aristotle, has written some re-
views of Prof. Neumark's first vol
umes, in which he took the liberty
to point out that Prof Neumark's
knowledge of Aristotelian ideas was
not quite sound. That, of course,
was not to Professor Neumark's
liking, and he nursed his wrath in
silence. He waited for an oppor.
tunity. His opportunity recently
came when Prof. Husik's book, en-
titled "A History of Medieval Jew
ish Philosophy" meant to be
popular treatise on the subject, was
off the press. Prof. Neumark
pounced upon it with all the feroci-
ty of an enraged philosopher He
had twofold reason for his attack:
first, that Prof. Husik had the te-
merity of writing on subject that
is his (Prof. Neumark's) speciality;
and, secondly, that Prof. Husik's
knowledge of the subject treated by
him is not up to his (Prof. Neu-
marks) standard.
According to latest reports Prof.
Neumark's rage has not cooled off
yet, and he is still delivering blows
upon his adversary. What Prof.
Husik's next move will be we can
not tell. We trust that he is not a
believer in peace at any price," and
that he will come out of his trenches
and launch new offensive against
the enemy. While we are very
anxious to see the European slaugh-
ter come to a speedy end, we are in
no hurry to see the war of our phil
osophers Finished We cannot stand
the shedding of blood but we don't
mind the spilling of ink. Lay on,

Was Former British Agent and Consul
General in Egypt.
