The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1922-03-10

Jerusalem.-Among the refu-
gees recently arrived here, a few
have come from Odessa. With
this latter group a Mr.. and Mrs.
Stiebelman arrived and this is
what they relate of the manner
in which Jews now live in Odes-
sa:
At the time that they left
Odessa some two months ago,
the noted Zionist Samuel Barasch
was alive. The rumors that he
had been executed by the Boil
shevists because of some bust
ness transaction were incorrect
and were founded upon the fact
that during last summer, his
house was raided and in one of
the walls a considerable amount
of money, diamonds and jewelry
was found hidden. He was de-
prived of all his valuables but his
life was spared.
Two other we1l-known Zion
lists named Barsutzki and Rosh-
kovsky were, however, executed.
Barsudtzki was persuaded by a
friend" Bolshevist Commits
sar, to purchase some Tsarist
roubels. Immediately afterward
this friend handed him over to
the Department of Justice. Bia-
Xix, the noted Jewish poet, ex-
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1922-03-10

conceived the idea Of turning that
annual day of riotous brawlery
and licentious profigacy, that
carnival of bestial lewdness that
in many instances characterized
the Bacchanalian orgies of the
Saturnalia as practiced by the
non ewish world in ancient times
into a festival of superb beauty,
innocent joy, and charity. If SO,
then is the story of Esther one of
the worlds greatest marvels of
art, to serve as a model for the
greatest artists and creators
how to turn the coarsest and most
bestial part Of mans nature into
the finest and most beautiful, by
means of Art.
To be sure, in the Russian Pale
we knew nothing about Frazer's
Golden Bough" and modern
Biblical criticism, nor, for that
matter, even about the Jewish
Encyclopaedia. But we enjoyed
the beautiful festival of Purim
none the less because of it. Maybe
more.

reversed, the servant taking the
place of the master and the mas
ter taking the place of the serv-
ant. It was day of feasting and
of drinking and of merry-making,
riotous and sensual. Men and
women exchanged each others
garments and drank and Toasted
and ran about the streets reeling
and staggering and shrieking and
bowling like mad men, playing
upon each other the most foolish
FRANKS, often resulting in very
grave injuries. It was day when
the whole ancient world threw
all restraint to the wind and in
many instances sank lower than
the brute.
If so, if Frazer and the mod
ern Biblical criticism upon which
his contentious rest are right,
then is the Book of Esther even
greater tribute to Jewish genius
than if it were the historic rec
ord most of us are accustomed to
take it. Nothing short of super
human inspiration could have

hausted every possible effort to
save his life, explaining to the
authorities that Barsutzki pur-,
chased these roubels for the pur-
pose of proceeding to Palestine.
The Bundist administrator de-
clared himself ready to let him
off without punishment provided
he will declare at the trial that
his only intention in purchasing
the money was to proceed to Pal
estine. Barsutzki, however,
aware of the ardent dislike on the
part of the Bolsheviki for the
Zionists, refused to do so and
was sentenced to death. In a
similar manner Roshkovsky also
forfeited his life.
Life generally, Mr.. and Mrs.
Stiebelman say, is altogether too
terrible for description. The rule
and control of the Bolshevists is
absolutely complete and there is
no form of life or occupation out
side of that which they regulate.
All business is closed and there
is no available merchandise. The
inhabitants of the city are en-
p1oyed by the Bolsheviki. A
large number of Jews are made
use of in the various bureaus and
offices. The spirit of religion has

at once despatched to all the
kings provinces, instructifg the
inhabitants to set upon the Jews
on the day the Pur had shown
auspicious-the Fourteenth Day
of Adar.
When Mordechai hears of the
decree he rends his clothes and
goes out into the city in sack
cloth and ashes, crying aloud. A
bitter lamentation is set up
among the Jews not alone in the
capital but throughout the king
dom.
However, Mordechai is not
content with fasting and lamenta-
ton alone. He Immediately sends
a copy of the decree to Esther
and tells her to go to the king at
once and intercede in behalf Of
her people. But Esther cannot do
so for two reasons: The king had
not yet been made acquainted
with the fact that she is JeWess;
and court regulations decree
death upon any one who appears
before the king without having
first been cal1ed-unless the mon
arch holds out the golden sceD-
ter to him. She wavers. But
Mordechai sends word: think
not of tlyse1f If thou holdst
thy peace at this time shall
deliverance arise to the Jews from
anothes place, but thou and thy
fathers house shall be de-
stroyed." She then notifies him
that she is ready to go and i'm
plcres that the Jews in Shushan
fast and pray for her. land
if perish, PERISH and she goes
before the king.
The moment he sees her he is
smitten with her beauty and he
holds out his scepter to her:
"What is thy request, it shall be
given thee even to half of the
kingdom" But she is too much
the diplomat to tell him her re-
quest at once, and invites him to
a banquet. At the banquet she
withholds it again and invites
him to another, together with
Hannah. Hannah feels himself
greatly elated over the invitation,
being parvenue; yet is down.
hearted over the fact that this
Jew Mordechai would not kneel
to him. In a gust of chagrin he
turns to his wife Zeresh for ad-
vice. She counsels to erect high
gallows and hang the Jew at the
first opportunity when the out
break against the Jews would
take place on the day decreed.
But one night the king is toss
ing about sleepless and, as rem
edy, orders his secretary to read
to him the state records. ZAP

suggests that a grand pageant be
given in his honor. The king
thereupon orders that a pageant
be given Mordechai, who was to
ride on high horse, Haman lead
ing the horse by the bride.
When the ceremony is over and
Haman returns home with a
downcast countenance, his wife
pours a bit of oil on the flame:
"If Mordechai be of the seed of
the Jews, before whom thou hast
begun to fall, thou shalt surely
fall"
At the banquet, when the
greater part of the ceremonies are
over, Esther turns to the king in
the presence of Haman: eff I
have found favor in thy sight, O
king. let my life be given
me at my petition, and my people
at my request. For we are sold,
and my people, to be destroyed,
to be slain and to perish"
The king cries with anger:
"Who is he and where is he that
burst presume =. to do so,'
And Esther points to Hannah.
While the monarch is still debat-
ing what to do with the cu1prit
one Of the chamberlains is there
with ready advice: Behold the
gallows which Hannah hath made
for Mordechai!" And the king
waves his hand: String him up!'
Mordechai is now made Grand
Vizier and goes forth in royal ap-
parel of blue and white and gold
and messages are dispatched to
all the kings provinces to reverse
the order of the decree. And there
is great rejoicing among the
Jews. Gail the rulers of the prov
inces and the lieutenants and
officers of the king helped the
Jews -. Il. who did what they

Then Mordechai and Esther
wrote to the Jews "that they
should keep the fourteenth day
of the month of Adar cas- a day
to be known as Purim," in COM
memoration of the casting of the
Pur or lots by Hannah; ga day
of feasting and of joy, and of
sending portions to one another
and gifts to the poor"
This is the story, in brief.
Purim is thus venerable holiday
dating back to remote antiquity.
Indeed, it is said to have preced-
ed even the story of Esther, upon
which it is supposed to be found
ed. A writer in the Jewish En-
cyclopaedia says that the Book
of Esther was very likely written
