How to Honor a Rabbi.


ish press of the country reported
how a wealthy and influential
Metropolitan congregation hon.
ored their rabbi. At the compile
ton of his twentieth year of sue
cessful service, the rabbi was
presented with a purse contain
ing twenty thousand dollars Of
Liberty Bonds. This was, indeed,
an unusually fine way of honor
ing a spiritual leader, and justly
attracted the attention of wide
circles throughout the country.
Similar marks of appreciation
for the minister, though, of
course, on a much smaller scale,
are reported from time to time
in different communities. Thus
we hear of congregations pre-.
senting their ministers on special
occasions with checks or silver
ware, or gifts of varied descrip-
tions, and quite commonly nova
days with an automobile. The
custom has grown up of remem-
boring the rabbi with some ma
terial token upon his completion
of a certain number of years Of
service, or on the anniversary OF
some important event in his life.
1t is very beautiful to see q
spiritual leader honored in sig
nal manner. 1t is encouraging to
the religious forces to notice, in
this age of religious indifference,
a minister remembered with a
tangible expression of good will.
Apparently, the spiritual efforts
are not entirely inappreciated or
underestimate. It is a healthy
sign of the times that even the
rabbits efforts are sometimes
recognized in word and in deed.
BY such thoughtfulness of a con-
gregation the rabbits financial
cares are made lighter and his
comfort of life better.
The sensitive soul, however,
cannot but feel Jared by such
snowy methods and spectacular
displays of recognition Of SER
vice in the sphere of religion.
There is a certain clumsiness in
the manner of bes;owing the
need of praise for achievements
in the soul-life. Some lack Of re-
finement and indelicacy Of taste
are evident in such procedures.
There is something Of the heavy
daubing of gold on the coarse
lining. Is this not an indication
of the gross ma;erialism and
crudities of life by which we
are surrounded that are so dis
concerning to the finer feelings?
Does it not point to a species Of
nouveau richeism ubiquitous
among us, and a betrayal that
the results of recently-acquired
wealth and of the industrial or
der of society have not yet be-
come crystallized into mature
habits of life?
Indeed, on closer examination
one cannot but realize that such
manifestations Of good will, tho
perfectly proper and admirable
on the surface, nevertheless indi-
cate elements of weakness in our
social structure. While congre-
cations should be credited with
good intentions for trying to
honor their rabbis on a happy
ocrasion yet the methods usad

respond to all sorts of appeals
and contribute to all kinds Of
causes of which his congregants
are hardly aware. His compensa-
ton should therefore be common.
surate with his position of dig
nifty and the representative place
he holds. And those he la
bors for should always realize it,
and not wait for a special occas-
ion of rejoicing or an annivers-
airy of some important event in
his life to supplement his Geo.
nomic insufficiency. They should
at all time make it possible for
him, in the form of regular sal
airy, not only to live up to the
high social standard required of
him as the rabbi of the congrega-
ton, but also to set something
aside for the proverbial rainy
day.
Contrarywise, the rab bi
should endeavor to live on his
stipulated salary in the manner
expected Of him, without re-
sorting to fees, presents or gifts,
which, to the sensitive soul, are
a species of refined SNORING"
Especially in the smaller COM
munities where almost every
one available for membership is
affiliated with the congregation
even fees should not ordinari-
ly be acceptable to the rabbi, ex-
cept perhaps on occasions of ex-
IRENE JOY such as a wedding. In
other words, a spirit of economic
independence should be cultivat-
ed,-the congregation realizing
the principle of honor to pay
their rabbi as liberal a salary as
possible, while the rabbi should
try to live respectfully as be.
comes his station on his stated
allowance without expecting
special remuneration.
The trouble lies in the fact
that a congregation ordinarily
act toward their rabbi like a
guild of shop-keepers. They
treat him like sor; of dignifed
clerk. They frequently bargain
with him just as when they buy
merchandise or hire help. They
are eager to pay the minimum.
A congregation rarely increases
the salary of their rabbi unless
they are practically forced to it,
so that his income is often con-
siderably less than that of the
on rare occasions when a congre-
CATION, though he is expected to
live up to a social standard much
higher. As a result, rabbis, not
unlike Christian ministers, may
save souls, but that is all they
ever have a chance 20 save. Only
on rare occasions when cOngre-
cations pride asserts itself,
they want to make up for their
deficiency and display their lib
crafty as if to tell him, I'VE
are not so small after ALL" But
then the spectacular comes to
the fore; a great noise is made,
and they show off their magnan-
unity. They tell their rabbi he,
too, could have a little of their
superflity, Just as our bedecking
with flashy diamonds parades
our prosperity.
How different is the treat
ment accorded the rabbi in the

invaded even the spiritual
sphere of our experience. In the
very sanctuary Of the Eternal,
we bring the Golden Calf. Ami
mails not without a blemish are
brought to the very altar of God.
The deplorable indifference to
religion and it's ministration so
rampant today, finds its reaction
not in interest and good will to
the synagog and its servants,
but in an ostentatious display of
fat checks and costly gifts. Ne
glecting God, we try to make up
by adoring Mammon.
Moreover, it is obvious that
that the rabbits labors are of a
spiritual character. He is a relig-
ious worker ministering to the
spiritual needs of his congre-
giants. Such an officials SER
vices should therefore be appre-
ciated in a way more dignifed,
and in a manner more refined,
than the bestowal of a material
token with pomp and noise. Ma
terial gifts may be in place for
material efforts. But are they
entirely proper and adequate in
the case of the minister of reli.
gion, laboring in the vineyard of
the Lord and promoting the life
of the spirit?
Furthermore, some subtle re-
fnement should make itself felt
in the relation existing between
rabbi and congregation. 1t can
not be too strongly stressed that
the relationship between minis
ter and congregation is peculiar
and distinct. 1t is by far finer
than that between employer and
employee, not to speak of that be-
tween master and laborer. 1t has
a character all its own. 1t is a
spiritual kinship, a common bond
that knits rabbi and congrega-
ton. The force holding them
together is something subtle and
fine; it may be Intangible, but
nonetheless real. 1t grows in in
tensity and depth as the years of
common interest multiply. The
joys and the sorrows, the glad
ness and the sadness, both in
the life of the congregation as
a whole and in the lives of the
members composing it, tend to
strengthen that spirit of kinship
between the spiritual leader and
those he ministers to. Hence q
finer feeling should be manifest
ed in the treatment accorded the
rabbi by the membership of the
congregation, than is ordinarily
shown.
Therefore as a matter of
course, a congregation should
consider 1t a source OF pride and
honor to pay their rabbi all the
salary they can possibly afford.
II should be a matter of satisfac-
ton to keep their religious lead
err in comfort and economic suffi.
cheney and free from financial
cares. They must realize his pc
culiar position as a representa-.
tive man of dignity and worth.
He must live in a manner befit-
ting his station in society as the
spokesman of a congregation.
Moreover, financial demands are
made upon him which are hardly
dreamed of by the lavmen Ao a

In wrecking his home and business.
The odd twist which the story takes
whereby everything he holds dear Is
restored 10 him, coupled with his ex-
ceptional work, makes this a most
unusual story and one that will not
fail TO give satisfaction. It's a social
