Are We Jews, Hebrews
or Israelites?
DO WE BELONG TO A RACE, TO A
NATION, OR TO A RELIGIOUS
COMMUNITY?
By Rabbi Leon Harrison, Temple
Israel, st. Louis.

My first question this evening is,
Ought l to call myself Jew, Il He
brew or an Israelite? We can answer
this question best by considering the
origin and meaning of these words.
The word Jew, as is evident from its
German equivalent. Jude" is derived
from Judah, the name of the power
ful tribe that gave its name to the
Southern Kingdom in Palestine. Later,
when the Ten Northern Tribes of
Israel We're lost in captivity, Judah
alone was left, and all Jews received
their name from this one surviving
tribe.
The name Hebrew, first applied 70
the Patriarch Abraham, was derived
from Il Hebrew root, meaning be
ynnd." probably meaning that the He
brews came from beyond the Jordan
river. 1t is thus in the main ma
tional term. 1t is entirely proper, for
instance, to speak of the former He
brew nation. or the Hebrew Language.
The name Israelite of course means
a descendant of Israel, the name that
was given to Jacob.
Now the name Israelite is hardly in
general use. 1t is n kind of affecta-
ton to employ that name. And the
ramc Hebrew, too. always seems TO
me a Kind of evasion of the real name
that should be proudly borne by every
one of our people. / mean the name
Jew. That name refers both to our
race and to our religion; and par
ticularly like to use it just because it
is often used as n term of reproach. So
the word radical was once used that
is now proudly borne by one of the
great political parties of England; so
the term Quaker was used. We are
Jews; and the name We bear should
lie our greatest pride and onr highest
honor
This choice of name is in large
part n choice between national term,
Hebrew, and the word Jew, that rep
resents and includes both our race and
our religion. SO the second question
that is very naturally suggested to us
is. are we race or are we In any
sense n nation; or do we constitute
simply religious community?
l imagine that practically. every one
here will agree with me that we do
not in any sense of the word con-
stitute a Jewish nation. We have had
10 land of our own and no government
of our own for nearly nineteen hun
dred years. In all enlightened coun-
fries we are an integral part of the
people among whom we dwell. We
have but one flag-the flag Of Our
country; but one allegiance. In this
great land every bit of our hearts d.
votion and love belongs to America.
OF course, to very important ex-
tent we do constitute race, but as
the great Renan and Darmesteter have
clearly proven. we are not by any
means n pure race. There is II great
deal of blood not originally Jewish

RABBI COFFEE'S OPIONION OF
DIR. kAUVAR AND HIS WORK.
Pays Him High Tribute for Service
and Piety.

Rabbi Rudolph l. Coffee, in an edi-
torial in the Chicago Sentinel, COM
incnts on the installation of Rabbi
Philip A. I.angh as minister of Con-
gregation Anshe Emes. He also takes
the opportunity of paying most de
served tribute to DR.. Kauvar who in
ducted DIR. Langh.
Last Sunday, Rabbi Philip A. Langh
was inducted into office as minister
Cf Congregation Anshe Zines of the
North Side. This event is more than
the addition of another Rabbi to our
present number. 1t means the de-
termination of conservative Judaism
TO wage u constructive campaign for
its idens and ideals in Chicago. Rabbi
1nngh has shown an aggressive spirit
possesses leadership and will be more
than the spiritual leader of his own
Congregation. From his pulpit. he will
preach the truths of Judaism, MS in
terpretcd by the United Synagog of
America, to n large class of earnest
Jews, who have never been won over
to Reform Judaism, yet can no longer
accept the orthodox ways.
No ADLER representative of this view
point could have been selected in all
the West than Rabbi Charles ii. Kau.
var, who came from Denver to install
his younger colleague. Doctor Kauvar
has been in his first and only pulpit
for nearly twenty years, where he has
distinguished himself for piety and
unselfish service, for his devotion to
civic affairs and leadership in matters
Jewish. We can pay no higher com
rliment to Rabbi Langh than to wish
that he, twenty years hence. may be
as beloved by his congregation. and
serve his city with as much credit
as has Doctor Kauvnr in Denver

A bitter cry:
Children, children, children lay
Shorn of strength to laugh and play !;
Calling for their clothes and bread,
Finding cold and stones instead.
Then mile on mile.
Like lightning fly!

$50 was given by the board of sup
