Chips From A Rabbinical
:: Workshop =:
BY DAVID RoSEN6AUM
AUSTIN, TEXAS
TX. The Rabbi as Ambassador to the

pervisors of the Sunday Schools,
no less than parents or teachers,
are aware of the critical period
that young boys and girls of the
adolescent stage are passing
through. The awkwardness of
the girl just beginning to wear
long dresses and Of the boy dom
ming his first pair of long trous-
ers, is apparent to all who come
in close contact with them. It
is a trying period for the young
people; 1t is manifested by a self
consciousness that is ever pres
ent, while unconsciously there is
going on a complete transforma-
ton of their physical makeup.
They realize they are children no
longer; and yet they have not &C.
quired that self-possession
which is sure sign of maturity.
Thus they initiate their elders at
every step and play the part of
grown-ups. And it is the transit
ton period that is always the
hardest; it is even accompanied
by the bifth-throes of the new.
1t is more than mere poetic
fancy or rhetorical phrase-mak-
ing to compare the development
af people with that of an indi-
vidual. Peoples, too, have in q
peculiar sense their periods of
immature childhood, growing
adolescence, and ripe manhood.
The folk-consciousness of q
group of grows and develops
through series of stages till it
flowers into the full stature of
maturity. The stages may not be
rigid and sharply marked; they
may indistinctly blend into one
another. But in the large retro.
spect of the philosophical his
torian the periods are easily dis
tinguished, each one bearing its
characteristic mark and grada-
ton in the gradual growth Of the
social organism.
The long drama of Jewish his
tory since the dispersion may be
viewed in the same light. The
checkered career Of Israel since
he began his weary journey as
an inhabitant of many lands af-
ter the destruction of the Jewish
state, bears analogy to the above
mentioned arrangement. Thus
the long stretch of Ghetto CEN
turtles before the ferment Of the
French Revolution set in with
its concomitants of Jewish poll
tical emancipation and religious
reform, may, for the sake of
comparison, be named the forma-
tive period or the childhood of
the Jewish people in the Diaspo-

environment. Shut off from the
world about him, he cherished
his own traditions and crystal
lied a type of life that was pecu-
liarly Jewish. 1t was the time of
laying strong foundations that
could later rear a structure sup
erimposed by the foces of his
tory and the new social environ
ment that was ushered in by the
new era of political equality.
The folk-consciousness in its
simplicity and Wilderness was
then developed. In embryo form
1t embodied the latent possibili-
ties of manhood not yet brought
to light.
Slowly the light of liberty and
world-opportunity began to
reach the lowly and crampled
streets of the Ghetto. Indeed,
the very walls of the Ghetto be-
gan 10 crumble before the blasts
of freedom proclaiming the
equality Of men. Slowly the Jew
ish people emerged from their
+housand-year seclusion to en-
ter the world of action as citi-
7ens of the lands of their nativi-
ty vr adoption. The new political
equality and social conditions
also necessiated changes in their
religious Interpretation and ex-
preston that soon gave rise to
the Reform movement in Juda-
ism. For as life in a free world
differed from that of Medieval
religious expression of the new
age had to vary from that of the
old. Thus the people began
to realize they were chill
dren no longer as they
were children no longer as they
were during the Ghetto centur-
les, but men of the world, These
great changes made for the adol-
escent period of Jewish life.
That apparently We are still in
the adolescent stage of Jewish
development and have yet much
to learn before we arrive at the
period of mature manhood, may
be noticed at a glance when we
see the self-consciousness of our
people today. We have not as yet
acquired that self-possession
that is so characteristic of ma.
turity and the full stature Of
vigorous life. We have yet much
to travel on the tortuous road Of
Jewish experience, before we
become sure of our ways and
steady in our steps to tread the
royal highway Of Independent
judgment and follow a course of
action dictated by our own ma
tive genius, regardless of the

hordIlce ABOUT us. And 1t Is q cur
ious fact that even the learned
Christian theologian who speaks
so freely of us and our religion,
labels the Judaism of the imme-
date pre-Christian centuries as
Tate" Judaism, as if our very
existence ceased at the time of
the rise of Christianity. That at
titude of mind suffices to explain
why they know practically moth
ing about our religion and life.
Our post-Biblical literature and
history are of no concern to
them; and our spiritual and reli-
gious development since the
Church arose are in their eyes of
no consequences. In their opin-
ion Judaism and Old Testament
ism are synonymous terms. This
point of view is brought home by
the following incident. A learned
Christian theologian, holding
several honorary degrees from
recognized academic institutions,
and a professor in a Presbyteri-
an seminary, once said to the
writer: Rabbi, l am a better
Jew than you are; while you be-
lieve in the Old Testament only,
| believe also in the New" Is
there any commentary needed on
the shocking ignorance about
Jews and Judaism displayed by
this remark?
And ignorance is ever the
mother of prejudice. Lack of
knowledge about Jews and Ju-
daism among our friends and
neighbors begets all sorts of
perverted notions about us lead
ing to misunderstanding and
hatred. This attitude of mind is
as old as the hills; it is ingram
ed in the very fiber of man. Per-
haps it may be traced back to
our animal ancenstry. Thus the
child shuns the stranger and
fears the one it has never seen.
And primitive man considered
all those not of his social group
as enemies. Even the classic
Greeks spoke of the non-Greeks
as "Barbarians," as if beyond
the pale of the law or beneath
the dignity of man. It is needless
to belabor this point when APP
piled to our people, because, to
the geat shame of civilization,
We were ever the greatest suf-
ferers Of prejudice, due almost
entirely to ignorance about our
life, literature and religion.

mention any others,-our i'm

BRITISH EMPIRE
IN ASIA ENDED

of the British empire in central
Asia is at an end and rightly so,
Earl Curzon, secretary of state for
foreign affairs, told the Central
Asian society in an address recently.
The function of Great Britain in
the future, he added. was not to
absorb territory there but to give
security and to arrange that the evo-
luton to a different and higher
state of things should be easy,
The great bulk Of central Asia, he
said, had been thrown into the yor-
tex of European politics. The Rus
sian empire which Englishmen have
regarded with apprehension had been
for the moment obliterated from the
scene. China was in the throes OF
military crisis, the upshot OF
which no oue could toresee Al
