There is we'll known story of a
family of Russians driving across
the wild steppes, who being pur-
sued by wolves from time to time
when the pursuers came too close;
threw them one of their children
to gain time to escape. Similarly,
whenever dynasty or government
feels it's existence threatened, or
there is reason to fear that the sub
merged element may become un-
ruly, it throws the Jews to the
wolves to save itself. Those who
are at all we'll informed, know that
ninety per cent of the Anarchists,
Bolshevists and I. w. WIS what
ever their present religious afhlia-
tons, if any, may be, come from
Christian homes. To rid Christian
ity of the consequent odium, Chris
tan apo1ogists are resorting to the
old device of throwing the Jews to
the wolves. Incidentally, it may be
mentioned that when the pursuing
wolves stopped to devour the last
child, the Russian parents escaped
to safety.-Israelite.

AMERICAN JUDAISM.

There was time when we used
to smile whenever we heard, or met
in print, the phrase american
Judaism" 1t seemed to us that
there was no more reason for call
ing certain form of Jewish wor-
ship and Jewish observance or lack
of observance American than there
was for calling another form Polish
or German. We knew the distinc-
ton between Orthodoxy and Re-
form, and also appreciated their diff
ferent shadings. But which one of
these types could really be spoken

give expression to their Jewishness
in forms and practices that are in
accord with modern accidental
tastes and ideas, but who would yet
hold on to all the essentials of Jew
ish tradition, Jewish culture, and
Jewish idealism. It is this element
that must bring new life into the
Reform or American synagog and
by its influence guide its future
destiny.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

~
lish or French?
Yet, upon mature deliberation
we find that after all the phrase
American Judaism stands for some
thing real in the development of Jew
ish life in this country. The Ameri-
can environment with its freedom,
it's independent Judgment and its
disregard or absence of tradition,
has given the Jewish mind certain
tendency that necessarily inclines
it toward the formulation of
Judaism of it's own. Even so-cal1ed
Orthodoxy is here liberalized, and
would hardly pass muster with
those who stand for rigid Ortho-
doxy in the Jewish centers of the
Old World. And as soon as the
Jew, even of the first generation,
becomes Americanized his leanings
are more and more toward that type
of the Reform synagog that is so
familiar in this country. Of course,
there are exceptions. There are
even those of the second genera
ton who for one reason or another
still render allegiance, even if only
nominally, to the Orthodox syna-
cog. But they are exceptions. The
great majority, be they of German
or Russian, Hungarian or Polish
nativity, sooner or later find the
worship of the Reform synagog
more suitable to their tastes and
ideas. It is in truth the American
synagog, if not yet entirely so of the
present, at least, of the future.
And it is we'll so. It is we'll that
the Americanized Jew of orthodox
antecedents should lend his strength
to numbers and influence to the
American Reform synagog. For
there is an element in the Reform
synagog which has so little attach
ment to Jewish life, and Jewish
tradition, which is so ignorant of
our entire past and has so little
sympathy with present Jewish aims
and ideals, that, if left entirely in
its control, the Reform synagog
would soon be completely de-Juda-
lied, or compelled to close it's doors.
It is from this element that Chris
tian Science, Ethical Culture, and
other cultures make their converts.
1t is this element that would ex-
change Our traditional Sabbath for
Sunday, would Danish every word
of Hebrew from the ritual, and in
fact. would turn the Reform syna-
