JEWS AND ARABS.

Should the Arabs of Mesopotamia,
Syria, and Arabia, led by their apparent
ly liberal and diplomatic prince Feisa1,
help the Jewish people in the establish
ment of the Jewish commonwealth in
Palestine, as report from Zionist head
quarters has it, instead of hindering and
opposing them, as certain Jew-hating
element of Syria and Palestine advo-
cate, and should thus amicable relations
be established and cultivated between the
two races, the Arabs would enter upon
a new period of cultural progress far
surprising that achieved by them in the
Middle Ages, when Bagdad and Cor
dova were centers of light. The Arab
race is virile, endowed with great phys
ica1 and intellectual energy. 1t needs
only the incentive of some ambition, and
the stimulus that comes from contact
with another ambitious group, to start it
on career of industrial, commercial,
and higher cultural development that
will put it in line with all occidental ma
tons.
The Jewish commonwealth in Pa1es-
tine will be like an island in the larger
Arab sea around it. The Arab region
is of vast extent, and should the Jewish
commonwealth later on expand north
ward, as expand it must, the Arabs will
lose nothing thereby, as most of their
territory is but sparse1y settled, and

stars, Leopold Zunz, established his
reputation very largely by his monu-
mental works on the history of our lit
urgy, it's Payyetanim and Piyyutim.
Jose ben Jose is the name with which
the history of our Piyyutic literature
generally begins. But it is merely a
name. Very little is known of him and
his work. Next in order is the Payye-
tan Yannai, of whom certain Piyyutic
compositions have always been known in
our liturgy, but whose complete Mahzor
has lately been recovered from the
Cairo Genizah, the discovery of which
was the great achievement of the late
lamented DR.. Schechter, and has now
been edited with a scolarly introduction
in English and Hebrew, and with copious
explanatory notes by DR.. Davidson, who
has also Incorporated supplementary
notes by his colleague, Prof. L. Ginz-
berg. DR.. Davidson's fruitful and ripe
scholarship in the field of our medieval
literature, the result of his arduous la
bors covering many years, has been
well demonstrated by him in his previous
productions, such as his Genizah Frag-
ments, his Sepher Shaashuim by Joseph
Zabara, and his Saadya's Polemic against
Hiwi Al-Balkhi. His latest contribution,
"Mahzor Yannai" is worthy companion
of it's predecessors.

'THE ORTHODOX SYNAGOGUE"

GAS yet unheard from.)
Real, religious fervor is found in the
passionate heart of the fanatic.
Sincere, courageous conviction pulses
in the veins of the extremist.
Those who compromise gain repose,
but we recruit neither prophets nor mar
tyrs from their placid ranks.
The fount of Judaism is Orthodoxy.
and it's altar is the old-fashioned syna-
gogue.
Visualize it, those of you who can.
The men sit downstairs, austere, patri-
archal. They are very real, know, to
their God, and He is very real to them.
The women sit upstairs. They are very
emotional, it is true. Here woman is
crying aloud to her God, as if to an
other human; there, one sits in self-ab-
sorbed agony, tears rolling down her
cheeks. Quite primitive, this self-rev-
elation, but how very real!

These we find more or less adequate, ac-

new creeds, try to quench their spiritual
thirst from strange goblets, but
The fount of Judaism, which is Or

THE OLDEST MAHZOR OF THE
OLDEST PAYYETAN.

L i
To have restored to the modern
scholarly world the oldest Mahzor Iii
turgical Cycle of the oldest Payyetan,
namely the Mahzor Yannai, is the merit
of Prof. Israel Davidson of the Jewish
Theological Seminary Of America (Texts
and Studies of the Jewish Theological
Seminary Of America, Vol VIZ.
Those of us who were reared in the
atmosphere, and nourished with the spir-
itual pabulum, of the old synagog, will
remember that in our youth Payye-
tanim and Payyutim were treated by us
with the levity of which only the exuber-
ant, frivolous spirit Of youth is capable
The question uppermost in our minds
was: Why Piyyutim at all j.? They were ex-
traneous to the regular and prescribed
liturgy, known as the "Siddur," with the
Psalms, Benedictions, prayers, and
hymns of which most of them compared
very unfavorably. They made the serv-
ices Of the holidays and of certain Sab
baths of inordinate length. And, worst
of all, their language and their reconcile
contents were the amusement as well as
the despair of even those of us who had
at that time fair knowledge of He
brew. The initial words of a certain
Piyyut "Otz Kotzetz" became the clas-
sic illustration Of Piyyutic barbarism to
all Hebrew purists.
Yet,- the Piyyutim are an important
part of our old literature, and are a
characteristic product of the Jewish, or
synagog, spirit, the fruit of IsraePs
peculiar religious genius. The Piyyut
may be considered first or second
cousin of the Psalm. Some of the finest
spirits of medieval Jewry, such as
Saadya, Ibn Gabriel, Judah Halevi,
Abraham and Moses Ibn Ezra enriched
the liturgical treasure house with their
productions. The period of Piyyutic
composition begins with the seventh CEN
fury and ends with the seventeenth, the
most tragically eventful period of the
Jewish diaspora. A great deal of the
tragedy is reflected and directly ex-
pressed in these synagog litanies and
poems and they are, therefore, of no
mean historical value. One of the pio-
neers and pathfnders of modern criti-
cal Hebrew scholarship, and who is at
the same time one of it's most brilliant
