JEWISH ACTIVITIES IN MINNIE
APOLIS FOR 1852 REVIEWED
BY RABBI C. DAVID MATT

Minneapolis activities, during the
last year. like those of many an
other Jewish community, may be de-
scribed by the two words "construc-
tive" and "retrenching." During the
war, things of course ran at fever
heat, in fund raising, as we'll as along
other lines. The next year or two
brought to the front problems of re-
construction, intensifying activities
that had been neglected during the
war. The last year, though continu-
ing the reconstruction was marked by
the spirit of retrenchment. Some
who felt they had been too generous
during the period of prosperity, when
confronted by the defiation and the
return to normally Ito use that much
abused term) felt they had been TOO
generous, and vowed they would not
again commit the same offense. Prob
ably that is why several institutions
delayed their projected expansions in
building or rebuilding. And yet, to
the credit Of Minneapolis Jewry be it
said, that no important undertaking
came to an actual standstill, even
during this retrenchment. In general,
the same conservative sturdy growth
in Jewish affairs that has been
characteristic of Minneapolis for a
decade or more, marked the trend of
last years activities.
DIR. Demands Death
1t is not exaggerating, when we say
that throughout the year, a pail of
sadness hung over Minneapolis Jewry
due to DR.. Demands death which
coming on Yom Kippur, was COM
municated to the entire Jewry of
Minneapolis assembled in the various
houses of worship. Indeed, how
universal was the regret, how pro-
found and personal was the sense of
loss felt by the entire community,
was perhaps more clearly demon
strated in the synagogues on Yom
Kippur than even at the funeral or
the memorial services, both of which
were remarkable for the attendance
and city-wide attention they aroused.
After all has been said, perhaps the
best Characterization of what DIR.
Demands passing meant to the CITY
is contained in the comment Of an
unobtrusive Jew on the North Side.
who remarked, 'It will take so many
individuals to replace that one man."
AAAS eiC dhcduy several minor
memorials to perpetuate his name,
among others, the establishment of a
scholarship at the Hebrew Union
College by the Sisterhood of Temple
Israel and scholarship at the Univer
sity of Minnesota by the local Coun-
Gil of Jewish Women. But there is

memorial that shall not onlv
tittingly commemorate name that
Minneapolis will not soon forget but
that will also be credit to the com
munity, as well as a contribution to
some cause or activity that DR.. DEM
ard himself would have loved to adj
vance. Let us hope that before manv
days pass movement will be set on
foot to provide such memorial.
During the year, there were, of
course, the usual
Drives for Funds
In fact, the city would not have been
able to recognize itself, nor would it's
residents have felt normal had there
not been such drives. First came Che
communal drive in which Jewish
Minneapolis shared the burden and

Paul. The writer, if space and time
permitted, could easily list so insti-
tutions and enterprises for which
money is collected in St. Paul from
Jews. This would not include such
non-Jewish funds as the Community
Chest, or such non-sectarian philan-
thropics as the Neighborhood House
or the Down Town Boys Club, to
which they contribute literally.
It is of course impossible to esti-
mate either the total communal in
come or the total communal outlay
for these worthy purposes. But it is
not unreasonable to assert that if to-
gether with our cash contributions, we
consider our contributions in time and
labor and zeal, that as community,
we have given our Biblical 1.-THE.
Let us take the Bnai Birth. Here
is an organization of about 400 men,
composed of the most public spirited
Jews in the city, ever on the alert
to protect and promote the mental,
moral and social condition of Jewry.
Many of it's activities seem too in
significant to be worth mentioning,
just as many of the things a parent
may do for child. But the aggre-
gate in the course of year is worth
while. Much of the work of such an
organization is not spectacular, nor
does it lend itself easily to publicity,
but the very fact that it exists and
survives and grows year after year
is an indication of vital usefulness.
Every Jewish organization in st.
Paul is entitled to honorable men
ton. In these days of economic
stress, it means hardihood, zeal and
sacrifice to survive. The fact that
they do survive and do function regu-
larly and normally is the best evidence
that the Jews of st. Paul are not spir-
itually dead. There is no worthy
cause, locally or elsewhere, which has
legitimate right to demand help
from us that did not get it and get
it in as generous measure as cir
cumstances warranted.
Even our social needs have not been
neglected. The Aleph Beth Club has
maintained itself most creditably un-
der very adverse conditions and in
spite of many handicaps.
One disappointment must be re-
ferred to-the campaign for the Jew
ish Home for the Aged. This, how
CVSI, 10 easily cAP1dulSu. SOIlIlS DIS
it did on top of two other vigorous
campaigns, it's failure was almost a
certainty. At another time, st. Paul
will do justice to this worthy cause.
To attempt to name everybody en-
titled to credit for the good accom-
plished, would be to call the roll of
the community. It would be hard to
find man who should be left out.
1t would be harder to determine those
entitled to the greater glory.
After all, modern Judaism has no
less "faith" now than formerly. It's
"works" may be different. It seems
less concerned with ritualism, dietary
laws, prayers and theology. It makes
up for this credal loss by greater CIV
ing, by more participation in the gen.
eral life, by contributing to the saw
ing of others beyond the synagogue
walls, or even beyond the city walls,
or the national boundaries, or the
Jewish group. Perhaps our religion
is no longer our life, but our life is
our religion, and in our lives, charity,
and love of humanity,
are still present.
