The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1921-09-02

Still, a degree of ritualism may be
needful for impressing meanings.
Ceremonial law has a certain value as
a means Of moral discipline. The dan
ger is that the realities of religion
may be so inlaid with the minutiae Of
observance that spiritual significance
is obscured. Symbolism is good unless
it be used as a substitute for active
duty. But none can doubt the import
ance of such a ceremony as that Of
Seder night in perpetuating those
beautiful beliefs that, like spiritual
gems, have enriched the Jewish life
and given it a divine distinction.
Also, Israel rightly treasures its
loftier traditions. Others there be of
no more worth than spilled wine, and
these may quite as rightly be discard
ed. Yet who would question the in
spring influence Of the Festival Of
Purim, for example, and who would
have it discontinued? We should be
careful not to cast away the wheat
with the chaff.
Again, who shall doubt the powe,
Of spiritual renovation of an observ-
ance Of Yom Kippur? This occasion
teaches the inescapable requirement
Of personal responsibility-that in
real religion there can be no moral
Sinking. Its exactions are inexor-
able; there is no "vicarious atone
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1921-09-02

inspiration, not imitation; for contin-
uation, not repetition"
The Jew is essentially religious
being His life must be filled with re-
ligious signifcances, either ceremoA
ial or spiritual. There has been an
overgrowth Of the former, an accre-
ton Of the ages. In the exact ratio
that ceremonialism is reduced, spirit
uality increases, and a better balance
results. This process should be con-
tinued until the proper respective
proportions are reached.
Reform denudes the faith Of nom
essentials, sanctions necessary depai-
lures from traditional law, and adapts
Judaistic preeepts to odern thought
and conditions, while preserving all
its integrities.
II is permitted to change the outer
garb If the inner spirit remain unal-
tered Man varies his apparel accord
ing to climatic conditions, and even
in conformity to capricious modes,
but his physical form still is in the
First Image. So with the Jew in his
religion. However the exigencies Of
modern existence may have forced
him to alter ancient Jewish forms, he
has relinquished none Of the essen
tals Of his faith, but remains stead
fast as stone to his cherished ideals.
