GHETTOES.

A correspondent writes that a
friend of his became angry be-
cause the part of the city in
which he lived was called a
Ghetto" We see no reason for
fretting about the term "Ghet-
to-" In modern parlance it SIM
ply means that part of the city in
which the Jews live. The term
has no undesirable connotation,
and those only are generally SEN
sitive about it, who do not under
stand it's meaning. The word is
probably of Italian origin, deriv-
ed from the word Giudecia,
which is a modification of the
word "Judaca," meaning Jewish.
Some derive it from the Italian
word ghetto, the cannon-foun-
dry at Venice, near which the
Jewish quarter was located.
The chief reason why some do
not like the word applied to
their particular section of the
city is that is seems to them that
the name applies only to the So
called poorer classes of Jews.
Let them disabuse their minds of
this. There are rich mems ghet-
toes just as well as poor mems
ghettoes-and often the poor
mans ghetto has much more to
recommend it than the rich
mans. The word now simply
means Jewish "neighborhood."

impudence. If the Presbyter-
ians have got 100000 that they
don't know what to do with, we
respectfully suggest that they
use it for the conversion not of
Jews but of Christians in Chris
tianity. Religion, like charity,
begins at home! When the
Christians have got something
more to show for their faith
than indiscriminate greed, ha-
tired and slaughter, they may be
fit to talk about bringing this
faith to other people-but not

sacred to Jew and Christian
alike; and we know whereof we
speak, when we say that the
Jew who denies that for which
Christmas stands, then turns
around and has a Christmas tree
in his home and celebrates the
festival, is the less thought of

deserves the scorn of both. If

THE CHRISTMAS JEWS (?)

We are writing this paragraph
with some hesitancy-this we
confess. Why? Because we
think that we have heard less
about Jews having Christmas
trees this year than ever before.
If we are right, things are shap-
ing themselves properly. We can
not see the sense in Jews hav-
ing a Christmas tree. We believe
that a Jew who will explain to
his children the meaning of Cha
nukah and have them light the
candles, and then give his pres
ents during the Cbanukah Feast,
the children will be perfectly
satisfied, unless the parents by
their speech and general attitude
make the children dissatisfied.
There are some foolish parents
who believe that they ought not
to deprive their children of the
Christmas activities. They have
a pronounced feeling that there
will be a terrible sacrifice on the
part of the child, if the neighbor
has a tree, and they have not.
We have learned from expert
ence that this is not so. There
are some children who have been
so spoiled that they are not sat
isfied with anything. But in the
large majority of cases, children
who want Christmas trees are
old enough to be reasoned with,
and Chanukah Lights, Chanu-
kah presents, and the general
spirit of Chanukah will satisfy
the child. Try tit will be bet
ter than aping our Christian
friends, purloining their festival,
turning renegade on our own,
and confusing the mind of the
child, with regard to Jewish and
Christion holydays, No right
thinking Jew is ashamed of his
holydays, and no right-thinking
Christian thinks more of a Jew
who forsakes his own, and apes
the Christians. Religion is not

lieving that they can reclaim
what we have neglected. 1t is
hoped that the money that is be-
ing now raised by the Union Of
American Hebrew Congrega-
lions, will to some degree rem
edy this great evil; but we
ought not to get angry if our
Christian brethren believe that
they can make the best of an op-
portunity that we have so will
fully overlooked.
Of course they will not sue
coed. They can't succeed. Their
efforts will only spur the Jewish
religious organizations to great
er activity and in this we will be
the gamers.
The Presbyterian Church has
set aside 100000 for this move
ment. We venture to predict that
after this good sum has been
spent-the Christianized Jews
will be so few that to find them
will be one of the unsolvable
puzzles of the Universe. Other
organizations have tried 1.-THE
best that they achieved was the
making of poorer Christians out
of poor Jews. We suggest that
we can afford to lose the few
Jews who will become Christians
better than the good Christians
can afford to gain them.
This, for us, a Jew. Listen to
what Unity, the paper of the late
DIR. Jenkin Lloyd Jones of Chi
cago, has to say on this matter:
why on earth do Christians
want to proselyte Jews? Have
the churches such a surplus of
energy, and is the work of relig-
ion so nearly done in the world
at large, that the synagogues
must be invaded and transform
ed? Here is the Presbyterian
Church, for example, appropriate
ing 100000 for Jewish prosely-
tizing in New York City, and pla-
cling a man in the field for the
doing of this one particular job.
What wonder that leading Jews
throughout the country are pro-
testing against this proposal;
and that the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations has is
sued formal statement, calling
upon the Jews to reply to the at
tempt to convert them, by
strengthening their allegiance to
their own religion and support
ing its institutions more vigor-
ously than ever before! For
ourselves, we are free to say
that this proselytizing of Jews
by Christian impresses us as a

been made on the action OF the
Presbyterian Churches Of New
York, which have set aside
100000 to convert the Jews OF
that city to Christianity. Now,
we won't deny that many Jews
of New York can profit by a con-
version-but we doubt seriously
whether conversion to Christian
ity would do them any good; not
that Christianity has not its
great value for good, for we
would be the last to deny this
but because of the very obvious
fact that a Jew who cannot be
influenced by his own religion,
will certainly make sorry ground
for the cultivation of the seeds
of any other religion.
We do believe that here and
there we find Jewish converts to
Christianity who are sincere.
We know of a few such. We
know, too, of a few converts to
Judaism who are even better
Jews than many born into the
faith. But we are speaking OF
large numbers of conversions
and there will be none.
1t is somewhat interesting to
see how much alarm has been
caused in some circles. But the
alarm was caused not by fear of
the desertion of numbers so
much, as by resentment against
those who are at the head of the
movement. 1t was felt in many
quarters-and there is a good
deal of justification for the feel
ing-that the real basis Of the
desire to convert, lies in the feel
ing of anti-Semitism that some
of the leaders harbor against the
people of our faith.
We do not incline much to this
belief. AS a matter of fact, there
is a tremendously large number
of unaffiliated Jews in New York
and other places for that mat
ter. We believe that our Chris
tan neighbors simply felt that
the ground was fertile for the
planting of the seeds Of Chris
tianity and the saving Of the
souls of the un-churched. And in
this attitude we Jews may learn
lesson. Too long have we been
inactive in the face of the con-
stantly increasing numbers of
unaffiliated men and women of
Jewish birth. Too long have we
been asleep. We have neglected
our young, and they have grown
up into religious wanderers. And
in a sense we cannot blame our
