pecially as at that particular time
Christians were not only turning
the other cheek, but were shifting
the Jews on both cheeks"
The unfortunate relation, then,
between Jews and Christians sim
mers down to this: peoples that
believe in non-resistance, but
practice it not, hate people that
believes not in non-resistance, but
practices it.
Now, if no other element en-
tered into the Jewish problem
than the question of this external
relation, the real impetus might
be lacking for the abandonment
of the traditional attitude of non
resistance. For the fierce pride
of the martyr is still strong in the
tortured breast of the Jew. But
in these latter days other ele-
ments have entered into the prob
lem, which compel the Jew to
revise his attitude toward both
his own inner world and the outer
nom Jewish world. These newer
elements, indeed, deal with the
spiritual problem of Jewish life in
the Diaspora; but they are usual
ly unrecognized. 1t is depressing
to see the Jewish problem dis
cussed, even by Jews, from with
out and not from within; as if its
inner aspect did not matter; at all
events, as if this were something
in which the world-at-large need
take no interest, it being the con-
Germ of a few Jewish zealots only.
Over against this mistaken posi-
tion,' these very Jewish zealots,
who are far from obsolete, claim
that the only way to solve the
Jewish problem is from within.
Find the right solution from the
internal problem of the Jew, and
the external problem, created by
the persistence of anti-Semitism,
will solve itself.
These two modes of approach
ing the Jewish problem, the ex-
ternal and the internal, cores
pond with two eternal types with
in Jewry. 1t will do well to- call
these two types the extraverted
Jew and the introverted Jew. Not
a particularly pretty jargon,. and
in way not very necessary. since

the ancient prototypes OF the IN
troverted and extraverted Jew are
found, respectively, in the Phari-
see and the Sadducee. The Phar-
isee was always intent upon the
spiritual problem of the Jew; in
order to solve it, he was ready to
bring the greatest sacrifces-he
was the introverted Jew. The
Sadducee was always less spirit
ual, more worldly, more yielding
to the lure of the environment,
therefore hellenizer-he was the
extraverted Jew.
And the distinction holds good,
too, as between their latter-day
counterparts. Your extraverted
Modern Sadducee is turned out
ward his chief concern is to make
his bargain with the world even
at the expense of the hallowed
spiritual treasures of the distinc-
tive Jewish life. He would lose
his Jewish soul, if he could only
gain the world. The result usual
ly is that he loses both. Your in
troverted Modern Pharisee, on
the contrary, is turned inward,
toward the mystic recesses of the
Jewish heart; his hope is to keep
his own soul and thereby ulti-
mately to gain the world. But
he would rather lose the whole
world than lose aught of the
riches of his soul.
To the extraverted Modern
Sadducee the Jewish problem is
social, philanthropic, economic
and political. Therefore, both his
conception and his solution of the
problem are wholly external. To
the introverted Modern Pharisee
the Jewish problem is chiefly
spiritual; therefore his solution is
internal. He is greatly troubled
by the outer foe; but he is still
more seriously aggrieved at the
inner foe. The dangers that in
this pogrom-haunted world con-
stantly threaten Jewish lives he is
painfully aware Of; but the perils
that menace Jewish life loom to
him much larger. By the Divine
Dispensation the Jew is in Gal
nth, in exile; but the greater ca
lamity is, according to. the poig-
nant old phrase, that the Sheki-

Being hated, despite its obvious
inconvenience, is really a high
distinction. Philosophers always
knew this. Saints were passion
ately convinced of it. Hence the
fierce pride of martyrs. For one
thing, the position of the hated
becomes automatically one of
moral superiority over the hater
which is the subtlest and
noblest revenge. And if the
hated can but rise to the height
of his opportunity, neither return
ing hatred nor attempting to
avert the blows of the hater, he
has decidedly solved his problem.
He has solved it by not solving
it. He has solved it by non-re-
sistance. And non-resistance,
though few people are aware of
it, is the strongest form of resist
ance.
There is a curious paradox in
the case of the Jew, the classical
example of the aristocratic tribe
of the hated. Theoretically, the
Jew is alleged to be an advocate
Of ruthless revenge. "An-eye-for-
>an-eye"-a mere legal formula
has been accepted as the literal
phrasing of his life-view. His

the most non-resistant people on
earth. Otherwise it would be in
comprehensive how a people, ad-
mittedly endowed with rare in.
telligence, could defer the so1u
ton of its heart-rending problem
for two thousand years. A vast
wisdom, it must appear, prompt
ed this millennial inactivity. 1t
was the secret of the Jews mirac-
ulous survival. The Jew lives by
the resistless force of his non-re-
sistance.
Tolstoy seems to have under
stood this strange paradox. He
tells us in his Confessions" that
he was reading the fifth chapter
of Matthew with a Hebrew rabbi.
At nearly every verse the rabbi
said, "That is in the Bible" or
"That is in the Talmud"; and he
showed Tolstoy, in the Bible and
in the Talmud, sentences very
like the declarations of the Ser
mon on the Mount. But when
they reached the verse about nom
resistance to evil, the rabbi did
not say, "This also is in the Tai
mud" but he. asked the count:
"Do the Christians obey this
command? Do they turn the
other cheek?" And Tolstoy adds
to the recital Of this anecdote: II

nah is in Ga1uth. This is the real
Judenschmertz-the Sorrow Of
the Jewish Soul. Facing the
catastrophe of the utter decad-
ence of Jewish life, as he observes
it particularly in the Occident,
the Modern Pharisee can no lon
ger content himself with non-re-
sistance. He more than anyone
else, knows that new way must
be found. But new way means
first a new education, new un-
derstanding, new vision.
He knows that the best minds
among his people are cropping for
a new understanding of the spir-
Qualities OF, human living; that
they are reaching out after a new
vision of the relation of the Jew
to the Christian world. And he
seeks to place this relation on a
new basis-a basis that will rem
der unnecessary the traditional
attitude as between hater and
hated. Let none believe that the
Modern Pharisee is nervously ap-
prehensive. Let no anti-Semite
assume that he can seriously dis
turb the miraculous poise of the
Semitic. If no other shadow lay
athwart the path of the Jew than
this grotesque, contorted, ridicu-
lously exaggerated shadow of an
ti-Semitism, the Wandering Jew
would pass on with the wan smile
of those who have captured the
secret of eternal life. But there
are other, more familiar, yet more
menacing shapes darkening the
way of his pilgrimage. There
fore, the Modern Pharisee would
at last actively engage in the So
luton of the Jewish problem. He
would cry out, not so much
against the world that wrongs
the Jew, as against the Jew who
wrongs himself. He would save
the Jew; and, in saving the Jew,
he would save the world from the
nightmare of anti-Semitism. For
anti-Semitism endangers, not so
much the Semitic, as the anti
Semitic; and the Modern Pharisee
would redeem the world from the
age-long curse of hatred which
has, brutalized the hater more
than the hated.
This, in substance, is the cry
of the Modern Pharisee.

Individuality is not the name
the Modern Pharisee would give
to Jewish shortcomings. The di-
viding line: between individuality
and individualism is as thin as the
Talmud says, is the partition be-
