They have rabbi, who is Talmudi-
cal scholar with modern ideas, and has
inaugurated Minogim Religious Prac-
tice up-to-date." He has established
a Talmud Thoreh "Free School, him
self, at the head Of it, which has prov
en- a great success. They too are trying
to raise means to build synagogue.
The other Orthodox Congregation
is by the name of Bath Hamedresh
Hagodul, "The Great Synagogue" an
ofshoot Of Mount Sinai Congregation.
They arrogate to themselves to be
the only legitimate strict Orthodox
congregation on the Heights.
1t is characteristic with our breth-
rem, the Orthodox, to claim to know
more and to be better Yehoodim than
their neighbors. They remind me of
what have seen some years ago. I
have visited the Worlds Exhibition in
Buffalo, N. Y. There I sa a lot
Of wild Comanche Indians exhibited
by United States Colonel. They gave
an exhibition of the way they fight.
Instead of in platoons or companies,
each Indian fights for himself, jump
ing and turning around, firing in quick
succession at his imaginary foe. The
colonel called them generals, each and
every one Of them a commander. Like
wise the Orthodox Yehoodim general
ly think they are the only righteous
yehoodim fit to be Rabboniam with
out Smicheh. know many who are
claiming the title of Rabbi merely by
being Melamed, Teacher of Chill
dren," and if the truth was known
those Rebbes ought to have Rebbes
Teachers" to teach them Hebrew
proper. 1t is as the Ecclesiastes said,
1-15-what is crooked cannot be
Strengthened.
The Washington Heights Yehoo-
dim reminds me of a Cow, once owned
by poor Shlemiel, which did not pro-
duce the milk expected, and died soon.
The poor man bewailed his sad lot, and
said Hoi, Hoi My cow was a COW to
die, but not to produce milk; likewise
the Heights Yehoodim are true yehoo-
dim in case of death. They are sure
to go to Shoot to say Kaddish after
their departed parents, so as to re-
deem the soul Of the departed from
everlasting torment in Cay Henom
(Hell). The same time they expect to
be rewarded for fulfilling the precept
Of "Honor Thy Father and Mother"
They remind me Of Chinese whose
creed is the worship of the ancestors
souls.
The origin of Kaddish is far remote.
We are told that Rabbi Akibba once
met a dead man carrying a load Of
kindling wood. He was told by the
dead man that he has to repeat It
everyday, to be consumed by his own
fire. He was asked by Rabbi Akibba
II he had son. He said yes, but don't
know Hebrew. Rabbi Akibba took the
son, educated him and saved his faith
er from torment.
/ recollect several years ago, when
! was a resident up there, / was a
member Of Mount Sinai Congregation
and took an active part in its affairs.
One Friday evening, I came to Shoot
for services. met there a woman and
three men. They appeared to me like
sister and brothers. They came there
for the purpose Of saying Kaddish. I
handed them the usual prayer book.

CORRESPONDENCE.
How beautiful are Thy Tents, o Jacob,
Thy dwellings, o Israel.
Bible: Exodus 1916.
Dear Editor:

have told you in my last letter
about the numerous Temples, Syna-
gogues, and Bothay Medroshim, "a
sort Of a synagogue and Talmudical
place Of study, in greater New York
will now try to give you in detail
each district as go along.
Washington Heights, fifteen years
ago, did not have any Jewish congre-
CATION. 1t has now many congrega-
tions scattered all over the Heights,
but very few Permanent Temples or
Synagoguges, on account of the Ye-
hoodim being new corners there. They
have settled there only recently, and
had no time to build churches of their
own, but they will get there in time.
There are four congregations in a
radius of two blocks, in the very
heart Of the business portion of the
Heights, all renting halls for the pur-
pose Of holding services.
The Congregation Of the Covenant,
a reformed well-to-do congregation,
with large membership, has started
a drive to raise two hundred thous-
and dollars for the purpose of build
ing a Temple. Another congregation
by the name of Israel Congregation,
also reformed, has started a cam
paign for the purpose of raising a
large sum to build Temple. There
is Third Congregation which meets
in Presbyterian church.
with the latter congregation which is
worth relating. have been told by
reliable yehoody, who was himself
connected with the story, that few
weeks ago, the janitor of the said
church called upon my informant to do
some repairs in the church. While
there, the janitor invited him to the
vestry, apparently used for a Jewish
house of prayers. He pulled out a
Sepher Thorah "the Holy Scroll"
from a store room, stuck away among
a lot Of waste stuff, and asked the
man to fix the handles, the rollers
which were broken. The man was Niv-
el Ushtowmem. "Bewildered and Hor-
rified" to witness such a disgraceful
and sacriligeous act he asked the jani-
tor how he come to it? The janitor
said, the rabbi gave him the scroll to
fix. That he knows all about Judaism,
as he used to be a Shabess Coy for
some Jewish Synagogues down town.
1t is a sad and deplorable case. The
Angels must have wept and said
Zoow Thoreh Vezoo Schorroh, "is that
what has become Of the Thoureh?"
like they did once before.
Tradition tells US that about the
Bar Kouchveh time, the Roman En-
peror had decreed the death Of ten
foremost Jewish sages. It is called in
the Jewish annals the ten Martyrs.
Foremost amongst them was Rabbi
Ishmael, the High Priest, for whom
the Angels have wept and said, Zoo
Thoureh Vezoo Schorroh. Is that the
reward Of one who had observed the
law?
The Orthodox have two congrega-
tions in the same neighborhood. The
Mount Zion Anshay Hemes Congre-
CATION, originally Mount Zion Congre-
CATION, the Pioneer Congregation OF
the Heights. They have struggled
for existence for several years, but

THE NEED FOR LEADERSHIP
History viii Repeat Itself as Issues
of These New Days shape
Themselves

In these times of social unrest and
class and Industrial warfare, the peo-
PIE reel their need of wise leadership
more than ever before. In the past
the United States has been blessed
with great men who have had clear
insight and sound judgement. The
men who framed this form of GOV
erment were matchless in far sight
ed wisdom Hardly in the history
OF the world would you find group
OF men with such gifts of leadership,
able to build political Institutions
that should survive the shocks of
time Tor 80 many years.
There is in the present times no
lack OF attempted leadership. The
newspapers, the soap boxes the poll
tical campaigns, the halls Of legisla-
ton, are forums in which iHRumer-
abb people attempt to solYedthe new
problems of these times. But ii IS
very easy to tell what should be done
theoretically, and very difficult te
frame program that thegmass OF
the people will assent to and follow,
As the ISSUES of those new days
shapes themselves, one has faith to
believe that history will repeat itself
and worthy leaders will arise and
help us solve the economic and in
dustrial problems of the times.
Some one will be big ana broad
enough to show capital and labor
how they can gain more by working
together than by fighting each other.
Some one will show the way to abol-
ish the residential slums of the
cities, to reduce poverty to a mini
mum, and place education within
reach Of every child. p g~H Il
Those who aspire to lead the ma
tion in solving these problems will
need enthusiasm for humanity, and
practical familiarity with the hard
facts of life. The world Is sick of
i1ealists who know little about real
life, and of materialists who are per-
fectly satisfied with the world as it
is. 4.
