past but also Of the future; that IN
addition to the sentiments that clus-

differing ages yet combines in itself

periences and hopes and ideals. and
even the contrasts in Jewish life.

A FOOL THERE IS.

A FOOL THERE is.
Alderman Bruce Falconer was en-
tirely unknown until he delayed the
bestowal of the freedom of the city on
DR.. Chain Weizmann and Prof. Albert
Einstein.
We will take his word for it that his
folly was not due to nti-Semitism.
Most likely, it was foolish impulse,
and nothing more. He seems to be-
long to that category of human beings
whose brains are ruled by their
tongue.
His was the act of a fool, and his.
folly became even more apparent when,
last Friday, he sought to vindicate
himself by reference to his ancestor,
secretary to Lord Cornbury, Governor
of New York, who, he says, was the
first man to receive the freedom Of the
city. 1t would have been better for
Falconer if he had ascertained some
thing of the biography of this Lord
Cornbury. He would then, perhaps
(that is if he had any sense), have re-
Trained from revealing his ancestors
connection with that worthy.
J. Franklin Jameson's Dictionary
of United States History" contains
the following paragraphs:
"Cornbury, Edward Hyde, Lord
(1661-1724) cousin of Queen Mary and
Queen Anne, was made Governor by
William III. In 17O8, after six years
of severe rule, he was removed, but for
a long time he was imprisoned for
debt"
To have been the servant of one who
used his power to Cypress the people
orI for hayev0xxyi1oo with no IN
tention of repaying it, to have been
the servant Of one who ended his ig-
noble career in gaol, is no distinction
concerning which ones descendants
need brag. But Falconer deems it an
honor to have been the descendant of
Cornbury's man Friday.
To his way of thinking, it was be-
lifting of the dignity of New York to
grant it's freedom to Dr. Weizmann, the
great chemist, who presented his re-
markable discovery to Great Britain
a discovery of the highest value to the
Allies in winning the war-and de-
~clined to accept any monetary reward
for it, and to Prof. Einstein, conceded
ly the greatest scientist Of the age. On
the other hand, it was, in his mind, an
honor to the city to grant it's freedom
to this noble bankrupt, to this con-
scienceless governor, to this jailbird.
And by the way-though our Alder
manic wise man spells his name some
what differently, we wonder if it would
not be possible to trace his ancestry
back also to Charles J. Faulkner, who
as Congressman from Virginia was
author of the Fugitive Slave Law of
1850, and who later on, as Minister to
France (186I was recalled for dis
loyalty.
However, be that as it may, and
granting his claim that he is devoid
Of anti-Semitism, Falconer has verified

lacked in practical experience or in
ability to grapple with the realities
of the new situation.
We can readily see that both sides
have some of the truth on their side,
but neither has any monopoly of the
truth or wisdom, or even of the abil-
ity to build Zion by itself.
But what complexities the situation
in America is this: There is the great
est Impotence for actual progress
and accomplishment in the building
of Palestine. This impotence has led
to much dissatisfaction among the
masses who claim that the leaders
are not in touch with actual Jewish
life. Weizmann in his eagerness to
see work done and the much needed
Keren Hayesod actually raised and
used has probably been convinced by
his advisors in America who have
not too much love for the Organiza-
ton, that the leaders are so hopeless
ly out of touch with the masses that
it is futile to wait for them; that the
people are eager to be up and doing;
that any appeal made to the masses
will bring Immediate and hearty re-
spouse; that the best thing to do is to
go over the heads of the officers and
appeal to the people at large. This
DR.. Weizmann seems to have done.
Naturally Judge Mack, on behalf of
the Organization must announce that
DR.. Weizmann's appeal for the Keren
Hayesod is unauthorized by the Zion
list Organization Of America.

of both must be the desire to build
Zion. in the quickest, safest, most
efficient way. To do that requires the
union of our utmost resources. There
dare not be dissension or division.
Our personal conviction is that there
will Re union. Both factions will learn
shortly from experience. The Euro
pean leaders will find that the mere
enthusiasm of the people cannot be
capitalized into dollars and cents,
sordid but inevitable way of measur-
ing the power of popular enthusiasm.
The American leaders will find that
the masses must be taken more into
their confidence and consulted. When
both factions have learned their les
son, united effort to rebuild Zion
will be imminent. Please God it be
speedy. We can think of no happier
Passover tidings for the Jews of

matter, than that both sets of leaders
have come to an agreement that will
give the right of way to constructive
work for and in Palestine.

Some Passover Contrasts.
By Rabbi C. David Matt.


every Jew who knew or cared for
things Jewish; nor is it an exaggera-
ton when the Hagaddah speaks OF
the five Rabbis at B'ne B'rak, who on
Passover Eve became so engrossed IN
discussing the details of the Exodus
that before they knew it, their dis
ciples had come to tell them that the
night was gone and that it was time
for morning services. In fact, the
more one contemplates the Passover
with it's tales and details, with it's
ceremonies and ideals, the more he
realizes how limitless is their appeal
to the thoughtful Jew. In this in
stance, however, we shall content our
selves with discussing just few of
the Passover Contrasts. And there
are some very striking contrasts, both
in the celebration of the festival and
in the ideals for which it stands.
What greater contrast, for in
stance, can there be than between
what the festival stands for and the
manner of it's celebration? Pass
over stands for liberty; freedom is
the very keynote Of the Festival. We
celebrate the anniversary of the lib
GRAFTON from Egyptian bondage. And
how? By the most exacting laws of
very exacting religion. Can you
imagine anything more restrictive
than the thousand and one laws deal
ing with the Passover diet and prep
arations in the Jewish home? To
be sure the observant Jew does not
consider Passover burden. The fes-
tival is observed joyously and is low
ingly greeted. Nothing would shock
the religious Jew more than to be
told that Passover is a hardship or
unwelcome. He would assure you that
abstaining from all leaven is duty
which he enjoys, fulfilling, and that
his love for the Law far outweighs
any inconvenience involved. And
after all, in judging whether it is
burden or blessing we must ask him
who observes the law and not him
who shirks it. Freedom, is rela-
tive term. The burden of duty often
brings happiness. And the Jew is
never so happy as when he has
obeyed a "mitzvah" with all it's de-
tails and fine points. Yet the fact
remains that the holiday of freedom
is observed in way that to many
must seem a curtailment Of freedom.
X y
Another contrast on Passover is
between the sombre note Of the prep
arations and the Joyous nature of
the celebration. Who that remem-
bers the zeal with which leaven was
searched out and done away with can
forget the sombre, almost nervous
fear lest Passover be not in every
respect "kosher". Why, the very salu-
tation on Pesach had that in mind,
Instead of merely wishing one "Good
Yom Tow" as on other festivals, on
Passover one was quick to add, "and
Kosher Pesach'. And yet, could
anything be more marked than the
ioyfulness of the home celebration?
It was made the occasion of family
reunion: every thing new that was
needed for the home or the individual
was purchased in honor of the holi-
day; the delicacies, the favorite re-
cipes, the good fare that is prepared
for householder and guest, all speak
loudly of the happy nature of the
Passover. So, the more worried the
householder, or to be more exact,
the house wife, was about the law,
the more joyous was the home cele-
bration.
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1921-04-22


ton that was called upon to explain
long story of Gods mercies and the
need for continued loyalty. But
it was the youno who were given
prominence in the home service. It
it was the young who were given
the role of asking the questions that
ushered in the Seder; it was out Of
Difference to the child that melodious
hymns, poems with an easily learned
refrain, and a rich and varied cere-
monial were emphasized and leeway
given for something almost akin to
pranks,-al these found their place
in the Seder, for the sake of the
young. Those who arranged our lit
urgy and our home celebrations were
keen psychologists. They knew the
value of childhood memories, and un-
derstood the need of stimulating
young imaginations. Give the child
love and longing for Jewish forms
and ceremonies, and even in matur-
ity would he heed the call of his
faith. Hence, Passover, the festival
which even the oldest revered and
honored, was the darling of the Jew
ish child's heart.
X
Even more striking is the contrast
of the message Of Passover. 1t is
the oldest Of all festivals of the Jew,
yet it is the most modern. It's ritual
records the oldest event in Jewish
history, yet it's Hagadah reads as if
composed but yesterday to express
the needs of the Jew of today. 1t
chronicles the old trials of the Jew
yet it refers to his experience of to-
day. Laban, Pharaoh, and a long line
of successors did their best to de-
stroy the Jew. So are their modern
imitators. God had promised Abra-
ham that his descendants would be
enslaved but later set free. The
promise was fulfilled, and the oppres-
sors punished. That promise was
kept. Why should not the same fate
overtake the present-day oppressors
of Abraham's seed? Or to quote the
Hagadah: "And it is that (promise)
which has stood by our ancestors and
us; for not one alone arose against
us to destroy us, but in every genera
ton they arise against us to destroy
us. but the Holy One blessed be He,
delivers us from their hands," I
dare say that in every generation the
Jew at his Seder table could we'll sub
stitute the name of his particular OPP
pressor for that of Pharaoh; and his
affliction for those of the Israelites in
Egypt. and with bated breath hope
that the Egyptians fate might over
take his own oppressors. So Pass
over, the oldest Of Israel's feast days
may match the sentiments and needs
of even the most modern of our OPP
pressed brethren.
X 4 4 4
Finally the greatest contrast of
Passover is that while nominally the
festival Of the Jews past it is really
the holiday of the Jews future. To
be sure we have in mind Jewish his
tory on Pesach. But have we not
also thought Of Jewish prophecy?
"In Nisan," say our sages, "were
they redeemed; in Nissan they will be
redeemed". Surely freedom seemed
remote and impossible to the hopeless
slaves in Egypt. Yet God remem-
bered his PLEDGE to the Fathers. Why
then cannot deliverance come also in
the future? So the festival was elo-
quent of the hope Of the Jewish fu-
ture. "This year we are here, next
