Judaism Against Art?

The pagans feared pictures but
Juadism set Its face against art, as
represented by the picture and the
sculptured bit
Step by step, however, the prejudice
voiced by this quoted commandment
disintesrated and, Jewish artists un-
dertook to compete with heather ar
lists and craftsmen.
No matter how grcnt nm artist may
he, IL he lacks national spirit, his
work is by no means complete. 1t may
he gesture, but that is all that can
be claimed for it. Finally, it is ms
sounding brass, or tinkling cymbal.
The National spirit is the soul of a
people. When the Tribes of Israel
crossed the Jordan, they brought with
other luggage, an Individual way Of
thinking that was peculiar, just as
their conceptions and morals were m-
like those of other people. With this
began new ern in world civilization.
Jewish history is crowded with
miracles.
