What the Juniors Can
Do for Religion
BY AIMEE i. PEYsER

Chicago. ILL.,, April %, 81 and 20:
What the Juniors can do for Religion
1t may well be said that the great
est factor in any religion today is
the manner in which its young people
accept its principles and ideals, ana
of no religion is this more true than
OF our own Judaism. We have passed
thru strenuous period of war, ana,
the first readjustment of our inner
selves has taken place. 1t is now
time for constructive thought and
concerted action.
We Juniors today will be the stand
ard bearers tomorrow. and We must
become worthy of our sacred heritage
Of Judnism. We have strayed from
the paths of religion in our futile
search for pleasure and we do not
stop to realize that the only true
pleasure in life is that which comes
from within. from knowledge OF
God. We must educate ourselves II
we are to attain this Knowledge. We
must become more Jewish in spirit ana
ever learn to look mp to the heights
For the past few years 1t has been
very difficult to stimulate any in
tcrest whatever in the study of Juda-
ism, but the feeling is now growing
that our present thoughts are insult
ficient. that we need something better
and we are reaching out for the hig
things of life and the only things that
make life worth while.
1t seems to me that this is the day
and the hour for each Junior section
TO form class in Bible study, Tor
n real knowledge of our Bible anu
an honest entleavOr to discipline our
selves in its teachings will give us the
moral power we need. Let us get to-
| ccthcr and learn what 1t means to
lie true Jews and Jewesses. 1t Is true
| that our Rabbits in our Sunday school
| DAYS have laid the founda tiOnsof our
religion. but our view point has chang
cd since those days. and since Con
| iirmation our thoughts have broodcheti
| and our whole outlook on life is ar
ferent. and If VIC are to be prepared
to go out into the world to become use
| full men and women. we must hrst
| truly learn ITO do justice, to love
mercy and to walk humbly with orr
God"
1t has always been said that We
Jews must be just Il little better than
| any other people, and that Is more
evident today than ever before. Tor the
ewes of the world are centered upon
| the Jew, watching his every movement
| And how can we be just little net
| ter? Let us learn the very essence
| Of our Judaism, its discipline and It's
| culture so that we may proudly lii
our heads and say: I'VE are the
Jews of today; we have kept the
pledge of priceless faith which mas
GENE to us from generation to genera
lion" And it is only thru the study
Of Judaism. its inspiring teaci'hss
and it; stirring history. thab we VIII
attain that spirit of reverence whiei
will give us the very backbone OF jew
| isll culture.
To study merely to gain knowledge
however. is a selfish end. 1t is only
by the good we can do, by the love
and kindness we are able TO setter
,bout ms every day that true harpi'
moss will fiji our lives. For as the
noet saws. Count that day lost
whose low descending sun views from
| thv hand nc worthy action DONE
| nhcre is a very urgent call CON NJ
to ms Juniors which we must answer
If * the call of our young brothers
