SUMMER SERVICES

The Bureau of Summer Servi-
ces of the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations has is
sued it's plans for the summer
services to be held at the various
summer resorts. We recall that
when the idea of summer ser
vices was first preached by Rab-
bi George Zepin of the Union, it
was scoffed at. Even now a good
deal of fun is poked at it; yet we
have had occasion to speak to a
large number of men and women
who have attended them, and in
variably, the holding of services
is encouraged and commended.
We have found men and wom-
en- who have not only received a
great deal of pleasure and relig-
ious inspiration from these SER
vices, but who have themselves
organized such services when
rabbis were lacking. We know of
men and women who would not
stay away from a service of this
sort, and who would miss them
very much if they were stopped.
Of course summer services are
not intended for those who never
attend services at home. They
are not intended for Jews by
birth only. They are intended for
those who attend divine worship,
wherever they are and who will
miss them when they go away
for the summer. We remember
that once, one hotel proprietor
refused to lend us his hall for
services on the ground that his
non-Jewish guests would feel Of
Tended. This proprietor, of
course, was a Jew. After some
parleying he granted the use of
the hall. Among the first to enter
the hall for the services were
non-Jews. The proprietor him
self looked in later, and when he
saw the interest manifested by
those who were there, he was
himself surprised. Needless to
say that there was no trouble ex-

PORTLAND'S CONSTRUCTIVE
JEWRY.

We recently had the pleasure
of visiting Portland, Ore, and
spending a few days with its be-
loved Rabbi, Jonah B. Wise, the
talented son of the illustrious
Isaac M. Wise. Rabbi Wise has
come to the fore-as his friends
expected he would-in his own
city and in the state. We were
not surprised at this because he
has ability, a fine personality and
a vast measure of power. We
were however somewhat surpris-
ed when we were told that Port
land, though large city, has no
Federation of Jewish Charities.
There is of course, a Jewish
charity organization which takes
care of the dependent poor of our
faith. But Rabbi Wise has evolv-
led an organization known as the
Federation of Jewish Socie-
ties" which includes not only
charitable societies, but all the
constructive Jewish organiza-
tons of his city. 1t is something
that other cities ought to copy.
His organization does not rest
with doing charity-it rather
emphasizes constructive social
and philanthropic endeavor, and
through the fundamentally of
this organization a 'B'nai Birth
Building" has been built, which
has become the centre of Port
lands Jewish activities, and is
maintained by the organization.
The centre has nothing of the air
of the rich patronizing the poor.
1t doesn't have the customary
depressing atmosphere which
makes one feel that the efforts
of the rich in behalf of the poor
are of the 'look how much do
for you" sort. The club house,
being a city-wide affair, main
tanned by ALL the Jews, is a
place for all the Jews, and be-
cause of the spirit of true BROTH
erliness and cooperation, the
B'nai Birth Centre has become
the home of one of the most
Furnishing B'nai Birth lodges
on the coast. The poor and the
rich, the humble and the "swell''
know not their differences there,
and the atmosphere of charity"

perienced in getting his co-opera-
ton after that.
The objection that has come to
holding summer services has
been from Jews themselves. But
of course, some Jews have objec-
ted to everything of a religious
nature. If we depended on the OBJ
jectors we should have been off
the arena of life long ago. Sum-
mer services have increased in
popularity and now one may find
such services at any of the larger
resorts. 1t is interesting to see
that in 1910 when summer SER
vices were inaugurated, seven
teen rabbis conducted sixty SER
vices in ten places; in 1919, fifty
nine rabbis and laymen conduct
ed 256 services in thirty-fve re-
sorts. These are the official fig
ures and there were doubtless
some services that were not re-
ported to the Bureau.
1t is an encouraging fact that
though the Reform organization
started these services, the GUS
tom has now taken root that in
the resorts mostly maintained by
the Orthodox, the holding of ser
vices has also become habitual.
And this is as it should be. In
the last analysis, religious wor-
ship has our common God as its
basis, and God and our Faith
ought not to be forgotten simply
because we happen to be away
from our customary places of
worship.
We are realizing the more too,
that the basis of Jewish solidari-
ty is our religion, and where
there is emphasized and prac-
ticed, Judaism as well as the Jew,
become stronger; and we have
said before, that the better the
Jew one is, the better the Amer
lean he is bound to be. To a
healthy, vigorous and American
Judaism, summer services have
contributed much.

FRANKLIN AND FORD.


of every right thinking Jew. Our
readers perhaps noticed that
Henry Ford of Detroit sent him
a specially designed car. Rabbi
Franklin returned the car, not
wishing to accept a gift from one
who had proven himself an enc
my of the Jewish people. Ford
had been in the habit of present.
ing the rabbi with a car at inter
walls, and the recent gift was the
carrying out of this habit, but it
received a well deserved jolt.
Ford probably told Rabbi
Franklin that the vituperation in
the Dearborn Magazine which he
owns, was not intended for him;
that he was a white" Jew, and
that his "best friends" were
Jews. Franklin is not the kind
of a man to be fooled by camou-
flage of this sort. If Ford can
find only a few Jews who are
worthy of his confidence, Ford
sadly underestimate the charac-
ter of Jewry.
We agree thoroughly with our
contemporary, The American Is
raelite, that criminal proceed
ings ought to be brought against
Ford and his paper, for the vii.
famous libels that they are
spreading against the Jews of
the world. 1t is possible that
even at this time the Independ-
ent Order B'nai Birth or the
Union of American Hebrew Con-
gregations is contemplating ac-
tion of this sort, if it is possible
to bring such criminal action.
1t is said that Ford is having
these articles published because
he believes that they are true.
Let him show the grounds of his
belief. Give him an opportunity
to prove to the world that his in.
famous lies are truths. He can do
the world a service if he succeeds
but believe us, that he will
sooner confirm his standing as
one of the great ignoramuses Of
the country, than prove intena-
tional collision among the Jew
ish bankers and capitalists of the
world. The great ignorance
which he displayed in the famous
libel suit which he brought
against the Chicago Tribune will
be published ad infinitum, when
he shows how pitably ignorant
he is of Jewish history, as it con-
Germs itself with the world his
tory. If Ford, who was probably
born in this country did not
know even the first principles Of
American history-the history

with several Interruptions Senator

the interruptions was commotion in

necessary to enter the building when
they arrived. They came in handy at
the close of Senator kaplans speech
to check the outpouring of Hines sup
