The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1920-09-10

Great is the wealth of Jewish chill
dren's songs as they have been
handed down by tradition in the
various centers of Russian Jewish
life. According to the geograph-
ical location in either Poland or
Courland, the White Russias or
the Ukrainian districts, these songs
vary, in lines and verses, but the
themes and main expressions remain
the same, thus showing convincingly
the great antiquity Of these tradi-
lions, which must date back into the
early middle ages when the influx of
Jews into Russia and Poland began.
Among the songs that the Jewish
mother sings to her little child, by far
the most popular is the one called
"Rozhinkes nit Mandlen" or "Sorele's
ZiegeP:
Inter dem Kinds Wiegele
Steht a golden Ziegele,
Di Ziegele is gefohren, handlen
Rozhinkes NIT Mandlen.
Was is die beste Schoire?
Dos Kind wet lernen Tore.
Plezelech nit Butter wet'n linn
schmieren,
In Cheder arein wet man linn fueh-
rem.
Storm wet err schreiben
Elm gutter Yid wet er bleiben.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

7 N the case of the other great ma
lions of the world, the life Of the
spirit is, to large extent, sep
arate and distinct from the life of
the daily world of the flesh. The life
of this world and of the next touch
at but few points, and with but light
emphasis. The song literature of
everyday, rejecting the daily life, is
rich, varied, intense. The song of the
spirit, on the other hand, grows weak
and faint. The music of the church
is too remote from the folk-music to
express the soul of the people, and
becomes mere bloodless abstraction.
Israel, burning with the flame of the
spirit, is blest among nations with a
richness of religious expression. The
traditional song and cantillation of
the synagogue is a glorious example
OF religious folk-song, representing
faithfully the hopes, the aspirations,
the joys and sorrows of the people,
and expressing the soul of the folk as
truly and as deeply as does the secu-
lar folk-song. Indeed, the song of
the synagogue and the song of every
day life and work are so closely inter
woven, that it is often difficult to draw
the Distinguishing line, God is with
the Jew as daily com panion, in the
home, the field, the workshop. And
his songs reflect this companionship.
But we must not make the mistake
of believing that because the song
of the Jew is meditative, it is there
fore melancholy and monotonous. The
Jew does not spend his life in idle
ness and merry making, it is true,
but neither is he a creature Of des-
pair, bathed in unceasing tears, as
many would have us believe. To the
contrary, he has, under his varying
moods, the fundamental cheerfulness
of the religious nature.
If anyone would know the Jew as
he really is, let him study the folk
songs of the Jew. When he has
known the noble music of the liturgy,
the ecstatic song of the Sabbath in
the pious home, the Groom of the
mother to her child in the cradle, the
song of the child at play, the song
of the girl budding into womanhood,
the joyous, not to say boisterous, we'd
ding song, the comic songs, and the
songs of the street,-when one knows
all these, one knows the Jew, and one
finds him to be, not crushed and
hopeless child Of sorrow, but brave,
cheerful, wise and hopeful soul, much
like his neighbors.

Folk Songs Of the Eastern Jew
BY KURT SCHNEIDER


For raisins and almonds, signing.
OF the finest wares are they
Iorah the child will learn each day.
butter pattles mother Will bake him:
10 study at "Cheder" they will take
him.
At writing books he will be clever;
And a plous Jew remain forever.
The melody of this song is extreme
ly characteristic, and typicalIy Jew
lsh. The phrases are continually re-
lterated: the first, ascending from the
fourth to the seventh step of the
scale (for example +, f, G, f; B, b.
on three notes only, bearing neither
major nor MINOR character, and
allowing only of dominant chord as
harmonic basis; the second phrase on
seven notes, three ascending, tour de-
scending with the typical Oriental
dlmlnutlon OF the sixth step (B, G, ID,
b, A flat, g..
The erect of this moledy with it's
quaint rhythm, suggesting the rock
ing of cradle, is 1ar from plaintive;
on the contrary, it endears itself with
each repetition OF the phrases, and it's
strange model character gives it an
aloo1ness, an unearthly tenderness,
which is touching.
Another song, from the district of
Kovno, speaks OF the Jewish mothers
hopes for the future of her child:
AS ich VOLT gehat dem Keisers M'liche
Volt dos gor nit sein bel mir asai
graiss Niche,
Vie du binst mir Niche, mein LIGHT,
mein Schein!
AS ich derseh dir, main ich-die game

Sollst mir ruben I'm sein gesint!
ALE Brilljanten I'm alle' Antiken

AS du liegst un scholfst in Dain VIE

AS ich wei amol darfen auf jener Welt

ure
1t would not be so great a pleasure,
AS you are joy, my treasure fine!
When I behold you, l think the world
is mine!
Sleep, my child,
Rest in your sleep and grow strong!
All the diamonds and precious things
Cannot thus quicken my heart, till it
sings,
AS you do, my love, my light.
AS you lie in your cradle, sleeping,
Angels with spread wings their watch
are keeping, etc.
And when shall leave this world be-
hind,
Eden's doors wide open I'll find,
You, dear child, must be COOL and
pious;

Ihls song, as so many other Yid-
dish songs, begins with a little con-
hned gentre-picture, and as it pro-
ceeds from verse to verse, the out
look and the perspective grow wider,
leave the present little circle, and
speak of the past sufferings and the
future outlook of the race The mu-
sic, in this case, particularly attrac-
tive and simple; it does not SAVIOR of

like Polish or Lithuanian folk-song

which would lead itself to be danced
as Mazurka.
OF much more intrinsic value is an
other Cheder- Song, a dialogue be-
tween the Rebbe and the little boy.
This song is quite unknown here, and
it was brought to my attention last
year by Mr.. Jakob Medvedieff, Jew
lsh singer, who recently arrived here
from Russia as an emissary of the
Society for Jewish Folk-music" in
Petrograd. From his manuscript of
the song, which is collected and har-
monized by a composer named Mil
ner, l quote with some authorizations
the following quaint words of the dia-
logue:

did setting by Jul, EngeD.
A song of great pathos, both by
reason of it's subject and of the mu-
sic in which it is conveyed, is whose
mother has just died, while the child
lies in its cradle, not knowing the
grave fate of it's life.
(This song is traditional in White
Russia and Podolia):
Das Kind liegt in Wiegele
Mt ausgewente Eigen.
De Name liegt auf der Erd,
Die Flss susgezeigen.
Nito klein Name.
Nito klein N'chome!
Yer wet dir, main Kind,
Glaetten I'm kammen,
Wer wet dir, main Kind,
Die Wiegele ausramen
Nito, nito!
Yer wet dir, main Kind,
Putzen I'm zieren,
Yer wet dir, main Kind,
In Cheider fihren?
Nito, nito!
Wer wet dir, main Kind,
Machen for Menschen,
Wet dir, main Kind,
Inter de Chupe benschen?
Nito! nito!
The child in it's cradle lying,
Weeps; it's eyes are red,
On the floor the mother is dying
Gasping-is dead
Of mother bereft.
No love is now left!
Who will now, my child
Comb and embrace you,
Who will now, my child,
Wake you and lace you?
No more, no more!
Who will now, my child,
Dress you and feed you?
Who will now, my child,
To "Cheder" lead you?
No more, no more!
Who will now, my child,
To manhood raise you,
Who will, my child,
Under the "Shupa" praise you?
No more, no more!
Almost every one of the cradle
songs had a reference to the
"Cheder," the religious and grammar
school of the Eastern Jew, and there
are some particularly touching songs
about the entrance of the little child
into school, The best known of these
and, in fact, one which every Jew
in New York's East Side can sing
is called "Off'n Pripetshok" CAT the
little freplace):
Off'n Pripetshok brent feierel,

BRITAIN FEARS u. S. WILL
BREAK COAL MONOPOLY
Shipments From Australia Also
Add to Danger, Says
10 Fuel Expert.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. August s.
America is threatening the British
coal monopoly of Europe. w. J. Noble,
chairman Of the Tyne Improvement
commission, in the course Of a recent
speech, drew attention to new COM
petition from the United States and
Australia.
Recently he saw in Scandinavia, he
said, vast stacks of coal from
America, and saw contract con-
cluded for 100000 tons of coal from
said, that last year the United States
exported nearly 100000 tons OF
coal to Europe and South America,
compared with 100000 the year be-
fore the war.
There was a real danger of under
estimating the American coal compe-
tition in markets which were once
virtually the monopoly of this coun-
try, he declared. and gave the follow
ing figures to illustrate his remark:
Shipments to Europe. in 1913, from
United Kingdom, 5S.45S.0e0 tons; from
United States. 47s.ooo tons: 1919.
from United states, 1s,7ls,ooo tons,
Shipments to Mediterranean, 1918.

NEW COUNCIL DESIRED

committee of the Federal Employees

ganiation of its kind in the National
Capital will be considered at meet
ing OF the board of representatives
August 10 at 1923 New York avenue.
For some time members of the
union have felt that the board of
representatives was getting to be I'M
wieldy for the general consideration
OF matters affecting the union, and
that it would be desirable to have
some new body to make such pre-.
liminary Investigations as might be
necessary.
The executive committee is not al

| has been proposed that new body
De formed, to be known as the ad
minlstrative council. This body
would be composed Of the old execu-
tive committee members with Sc
lected persons from the board of rep

This formation would allow thor

tiers to come before the union at its
meetings. it is declared, and would
largely do away with "hot air" at tn

100 SHIPPING BOARD
VESSELS ARE USELESS"
Third OF Wooden Craft lie Idle and
Government Cannot
Sell Them.

More than a hundred of the 800
wooden ships built during the war by
the Shipping Board are lying at an
Choir in the James river, out of COM
mission and awaiting sale, while scores
OF others are scattered along the At
lantic seaboard idle, an item of huge
monthly expense to the Shipping
Board, 1t has been learned from the
board
These ships apparently cannot be
sold by the board, as twenty-one of
them were put up for sale two months
ago and no bids were received. They
were built during the war when the
rush for cargo bottoms of any charac-
ter or type was forced by the whole
sale destruction of world shipping by
German submarines. Now they con-
stitute distinct liability to the board
because they cannot be sold and are
costing hundreds of dollars a day in
upkeep.
Modern shipping men contend the
vessels are too slow for even the
slowest kind Of cargo carrying and
that too much money would have to
be spent to equip them with powerful
engines to warrant the risk. Some
shipping men believe the only FEAST
BILE use to which the vessels can be
put is to convert them into barges for
coastwise use.
