the new generation that know not.
I greet you and welcome you one and

with all t0e seed that yet remains to be

ditiions that prevail in American Is-
.rael, indeed In Israel everywhere, and
OF the manner In which these modern
circumstances reflect, and recall our
historical past.
am reminded tonight, my friends.
OF the day when Israel, but just re-
deemed from bondage. encnmped on the
shores of the Red Sea. with the pursu-
ing Egyptians behind them. and before
them the sen. recall how the people

In commenting on this passage. the
Rabbis said in the Mechilta. nm ancient
commentary, that there were four par
ties in Israel in this grave predica-
ment. The one party said. LET us
plunge forward into the waters of the
Red Sea. even II 1t means annihila-
ton" Another party said. LET us re-
turn to Egypt. though 1t means bond
age. Yet n third party feebly ex-
claimed. "Iet us make noise" But
the fourth party cried out. LET us
fight and quit ourselves like men!'

Israel. do we not find the same four

party actually wept when they thought
of the liixuries of Egypt that now they
were denied. They wanted sufiiciency,
though it meant servitude; bread,
though bondage was its price.
DO you believe for n moment that
today the cry could be raised, let us
go back to Egypt? Yet, religiously. the
cry of reaction il sometimes raised.
We spoke n moment ago of those who
would plunge forward and devitaliZe
their Judaism, generalize 1t into
''nOthing-arianism," and deliberately
lose their historic individuality, or re-
duce it to a minimum. But there is
contrary party today, with far greater
devotion and earnestness, and whose
cry ia. "Our religious reform has gone
too far: let MS go back to orthodoxy.
Let us revive the religious spirit by
return to the old paths.'
Now it was hard enough for the Jew
ish reformers to fight their battle for n
progressive and liberal Judaism to ac-
was reasonable and necessary, to the
exigencies OF our modern life. But the
cry arises from some. and among them
not our least fine and gifted spirits:
Let us go hack to the old ways; for
there we had repose and immunity
the painful problems and uncertainties
incidental TO freedom itself.
Now honor the spirit that is true,
that clearly envisages the conditions
that confront us. the spiritual unrest
in which we find ourselves today. But
is this irreligi0us or transitional era
caused by the face that we use hut

have ndded this or that we have sub

tuted reform at all? This IL not

have made the same observation in
recent years In my own city. OrthO-
doxy is evidently no safeguard. 1t is
not true then, to my mind at least, that
is a religious antiseptic;
that 1t cures or prevents dry-rOt; that
1t assures or renews vitality. Such
suggestions are earnest but fruitless;
their assumptions are unwarranted.
We are not going back. nor should we.
You cannot put the man back in the
cradle of the child. We are not going
back to the ancient orthodoxy. But we
are going TO press on, though it he
