The Fighters Of the Ghetto" kid Lewis
BY Leo Kenig.

proud OF It's Israel ZangW1ll, the
great Dreamer of the Ghetto"
and of it's Rufus Isaacs, the Brit
ish Viceroy in India. And
Whitechapel is probably no less
proud of it's Kid Lewis, the cham
pion boxer.
There is no need to shrink
from associating these names, for
the dreamer, the politician and
the fighter are, all three, express
sions in different directions of the
powers of the Jewish people, and
of the tremendous vitality of the
Whitechapel Ghetto, which only
intelligent mediocrity despises.
That community would be i'm
healthy which produced only
Zangwills or Lord Readings.
Without it's Kid Lewis, White
chapel would be anaemic.
Jewish mothers and fathers,
sitting on Saturday evenings on
their whitewashed front-door
steps in Whitechapel, boast
among themselves of their Israel
Zangwill, that "giant intellect"
who tells the truth unfinchingly
in the face of kings and ministers
and of the whole world; of their
Rufus Isaacs, the Gree School,
boy, who is now midas Viceroy,
and before that was Lord Chief
Justice of England and wore the
finest wig in the land; and even
so, they boast of their Kid Lewis,
the world famous fighter, whose
mad FRANKS are still fresh in
their memory, and they tell of
the trouble he was to his mother
and how, as a youngster, he used
to climb over the roofs to escape
from the police.
The shopkeepers in the Lane
boast of him, and point with
pride to her who was blessed in
giving him birth, or any of his
relatives, just as they are proud
when they come into contact with
anyone who was lucky enough to
know Zangwill's parents, or who
had gone to school with him or
Lord Reading.
: Even pious Jews, sitting in
Synagogue, waiting between
Mincha and ariv, when the Mag
gid has already finished his ser
mon or has not come at all, and
they have exhausted the subjects
of Zangwill's wisdom, Roths-
child's or Joel's riches, and Lord
Readings greatness, begin to
speak of Kid Lewis proves
a little shamefacedly at
frst-after all, the House of God
is not the place in which to speak
of a fighter, there is something
not quite Jewish about it. But
they cannot help themselves.
Their children speak such lot
about Kid LeWIS-tOO much in
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1921-08-05

winch ne deals with a jewish OPP
ponent And then he is one of
the greatest fighters in the world
;, a champion The
Jews of Whitechapel feel more
safe when they speak of him.
X x
Whitechapel has even created
legend about its Kid Lewis. Of
course, Whitechapel says it is a
fact. Anyhow, it is certainly one
of the finest and most character
istic legends created in modern
times. It is reminiscent of some
of Perez's most beautiful folk
stories.
How Kid Lewis. lost the cham
pionship of the World:
"An American boxer challeng-
ed him to contest the title, and
the Aldgate "Jew-boy" accepted
the challenge. The respective
managers, both non Jews, fixed
the affair for Kol Nidrei night
Goyim would-Kid Lewis got to
know of it, and angrily told them
that he would not desecrate the
holy night by entering the ring.
1t was impossible to postpone
the fight for long, so it was de-
cided that it should come off on
the following night, Immediately
after the end of Yom Kippur.
The Whitechapel Jews 60 on to
say that Kid Lewis may be what
ever he is, but one thing he does
observe, and that is to fast on
Yom Kippur. So he tasted, and
exhausted at the end of the day,
he entered the ring to defend his
title. Now, of course, it is un-
derstood that, after fasting all
day, Yom Kippur leaves an effect,
even on such an iron constitution
as that of Kid Lewis, so the
American, who probably "ate like
horse" gained the victory. :.
Kid Lewis lost his championship
for the sake of Yom Kippur; he
sacrificed his prestige for his
faith. Had it been otherwise, the
nop-Jew would not have won."
Jews have not yet lost their
sense of the beauty of strength.
Together with all other cults, it
has been preserved from the time
of the Biblical Samson.
And it wanders with the Jews
from Ghetto to Ghetto, from Beth
Hamedrath to Beth Hamedrath,
and from market place to market
place.
\ Once upon a time in the days
of the Bible there was Samson,
in Russia and Poland there were
fellows who made whole villages
of non-Jews tremble for fear of
them, heroes of the Jewish self
defence, who turned their posts
into "Port Arthurs"; in England
