murder are a custom that our
people have cultivated with
western civilization. Upon look
ing up the records of ancient
history we cannot find any ref
erence of a murder being COM
mitted by one of our people.
This fact holds good until the
modern day. Several years ago
the warden of a Jail commented
upon the fact that there were
fewer Jews brought before the
bars of Justice than any other
people and he, a Gentle, attrib-
uted the fact to our religion and
our faithfulness to Judaism.
There seems to be tendency
on the part of the younger gen.
GRAFTON Of today to grow away
from theNsynagog and our re-
ligious traditions. If a man
violates the oaths of any fra
ternity, he is expelled and is not
regarded any longer as belong
ing to that organization. This
is as it should be for when a
person grows away from the
vital tenets of an organization
he is not in sympathy with it
any more. But a Jew. on the
other hand, once he is born a
Jew is always regarded as Jew
and any crime committed by one

OH all of our people. And we
J.ws. must stand this shame for
the honor of being a Jew is great
also.
We may not be able to change
present conditions but through
constant effort and training the
minds of the children we can
inspire them to nobler thoughts
and finer ideals. Our chief hope
rests with the future generation.
The crimes of today will be les
sened or increased in proportion
with the religious training given
to the child.
1t rests with us to decide
whether the future will bring
forth men and women who have
not any faith in their religious
traditions and are so apt to be-
come criminals or fine men or
serve society in a clean beauti-
full manner.

THE UNION OF AMERICAN
HEBREW CONGREGATIONS

Dissatisfaction with the way big

Congregation BETHEL was organ

of two congregations, Anshc Choscd

these congregations had been cstab-

Jews met in n small room in White

Il larger and more beautiful synagogue
was put up in Norfolk street. making
this structure the largest of its kind
in New York at that time. For a while
