charge and a most delightful program
enjoyed. Lawyer Morris D. SAKE was
called upon to tell what splendid
young man CAP Greenberg is, and
through personal contact and expert
ence told of Attorney Greenberg's
ability as a lawyer. Others who spoke
were William c. Kranowitz a mem
Der of the city staff of the Hartford
Times, and William Raphael. The
most important part of the evening S
festivities was the presentation of the
wrist watch, a most appropriate
speech being made by Attorney Will
liam M. Greenstein in behalf of those
present. Mr.. Greenberg responded in
an adnlira BILE manner and thanked his
hosts for their expressions Of good
will as well as for the material way

e DI TOR I.AL
OLD AGE AND NEGLECTED
CHILDHOOD.

A religious Jew need not be told
that care of the helpless classes of
society is the special concern of Our
religious law. The stranger, the Or
phan, and the widow are the objects
of the old Jewish legislators particu-
lar solicitude. Old age, too, must be
honored and respected, so reads the
law Respecting and honoring old
age imply caring for it and helping
it when it is helpless.
These duties spring from the noblest
sentiments of the human heart: SYM
pathy and pity. Helpless and suffer-
ing human beings always evoke our
compassion. Some are SO tender
hearted as to be touched by pity even
at the sight of suffering dumb crea-
lures. The depth of our sympathy
and compassion is the true measure
of our humanity.
A well-ordered Jewish community
should have adequate provision for
the care of all its weak and helpless
members. When men and women of
advanced age have no home of their
own, and no children able to provide
them with it, the community should
have an institution that will furnish

THE BOLSHEVIKI.

In spite of what their Jewish friends
in this country may say, the Jewish
members of the Bolsheviki have
shown little sympathy for their suf-
fering brethren in Russia. If there
is any element of the civil strife-torn
and bleeding population of Russia that
needs just little more sympathy and
larger measure of protection than
others, it is the Jewish element. For
anti Jewish feeling still exists, and is
constantly famed into flames of pas
sion by those forces that under the
old regime made Russia hell for the
Jews. The bigoted church element
and the Black Hundreds are still
there, and give vent to their hostility
whenever occasion offers itself, if

not always openly, then by under
ground channels.
The plea of Trotsky and other Jew
ish Bolshevih that Jews are no more
to them than others shows moral OBJ
tuseness and callousness that is not
much in accord with their high-sound-
ing humanitarian principles. Long ago
an Israelitish prophet enjoined it as
moral obligation mot to hide our
selves from our own flesh" More
over, the weaker elements of nation,
or any other group, are always emit
tied to little more care and protec-
ton, unless we subscribe to insane
Nietzshe's doctrine that all the weak
should be allowed to perish, since to
be weak is the greatest crime And as
long as pogroms in Russia are made
by non Jews upon Jews, and not vice
versa, some measures should have
been taken for their prevention by
those who have the power to do so.

EGYPT AND PALESTINE.

While we are not of those who look
for literal fulfillment Of old Tesla
ment prophecy, or who find all pres
ent-day events foreshadowed in it,
we cannot help calling attention to one
prophetic statement that is finding its
almost miraculous application at the
present time. 1t is the statement of
Hosea, "And from Egypt have called
my son" The prophet undoubtedly
had the Exodus from Egypt in mind,
the birth of the Israelitish nation.
Christology has appropriated this verse
as its own, because of the phrase my
son." and the gospels, therefore,
must accommodate the Jesus story to
it. The infant Jesus is saved from
Herod's wrath by his parents flight
to Egypt, whence he afterward returns
to Palestine
But in the events of Our own day
the prophetic statement is finding its
literal realization. The first Jews to
enter Palestine now, in the wake of
the British occupation, are the former
Palestinian Jews, who at the out
break of the war, fled to Egypt to be
under British protection rather than
become Ottoman citizens. There are
about 10000 of these Palestinian
refugees in Egypt. For about three
years they have lived there protected
and in many ways assisted by the Bri-
fish authorities and by their fellow
Jews of Egypt, England and America
And now with the greater portion of
Palestine in the hands of the British
and with great Britain's declaration in
favor of restoring it to the Jews as
their homeland, these Jews are pre-
pairing to be the first to go back to
their old home. Verify, from Egypt
have | called my son."

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

such old people with all the care and
the comforts of a home. And when
small children are left parentless and
homeless and there are no near OF kin
able to look after them, the community
should take the parents place and
provide such children with home,
and look after all their other needs.
All this, of course, involves consi-
derable expense, and implies a will
ingness to sacrifice and generous i'm
pulses on the part of the more fortu-
nate members of the community. 1t
also requires a community OF goodly
numbers, including men of consider
able means who are not only willing
but also able to make the necessary
contributions for the support of all
such establishments. We Jews al
ways take pride in the fact that we
never solicit non. Jews to help us
take care of our own dependents.
AS far as the Twin Cities are con-
cerned these requirements could east
ly be met if the two cities would only
cooperate in all such enterprises.
One institution of each kind for the
two cities would answer all Our pres
ent needs. St. Paul is interested in
its Old Folks Home, an institution
it has maintained for some years, and
which it is seeking to enlarge and to
remove to better location. But Min
neapolis, too, has it's aged folk that
it must provide for, and it should
share in the maintenance of such a
home, and derive it's benefits. In Min
neapolis the need of children's home
is keenly felt, and has aroused suffi-
cient interest among social and charity
workers to induce them to consider
ways and means for it's establish
ment. The burden may prove too
heavy for the one community. But
St. Paul may be in equal need of it,
and should, therefore, share in it's
support.
Such cooperation between the two
neighbors would not only tighten the
burden of each but would bring about
a closer union between the two COM
munities, which is in itself consurn-
nation much to be desired.
