JEWISH CONFORMITY.

We were recently privileged to read
a letter from IL Jewish soldier OF our
American Expeditionary Forces, for
the present stationed in England. he
during the Holidays, was the guest
of Jewish families, one foreignborh'
the other English. 1t was the latter
which greatly impressed him. The
il ensity of the home Jewish atmo-
sphere was at once revelation ana
delight He particularly stressed
the fact that the young members or
the family of English birth and traih-
ing. repeated grace before and after
wards in Hebrew, and this family be-
longcd to the reform or liberal wing
of Judaism. This brings us to the
crux of the situation. 1t is not tln-
usual for Jewish families who come
from the European continent. TO cast
away everything Jewish upon their
arrival at an Atlantic port This ap-
plies not alone to this country, but
likewise to England. They. either
sooner or later in addition want to
appear progressive and either do not
know the why and the wherefore of II
Jewish custom or else are\ ashamed
thereof. Even where the elder mem
hers of the family persist more ss
in what is wrongly designated
odox Judaism. the younger me
fight shy thereof. and even son
the elders become lax and see ~

1t is the old story of Mother HT sarl
and the bare shelves. The simplest
and the most natural forms are hide

sponsibility of liberal Judaism un-
renlized but that of Orthodox Ju-
aism is suprned. 1t is this sit

have been so muchly occupied with the
disagreemcnts of Orthodox and Re
