James N. Rosenberg, a well-known
New York Lawyer. recognized as a
great patron Of art and distin-
guished painter himself, and Vice
Chairman Of the United Jewish Cam
paign for Russian Colonization, is the
Chairman Of the Exhibition Of the
Bozalel School Of Arts and Crafts,
which is now taking place in New
York at the Grand Central Palace un-
der the direction of Professor Boris
Schatz Of Jerusalem.
In certain circles it has created
great surprise-this acceptance of the
Craftsmanship Of the Bezalel ExhibI-
tiun by james y. Rosenberg. For
while he has for many years taken "a
tremendous interest in the develop
mont Of art and artists, he never paid
much attention to those artists espe-
cially connected with Jewish things.
And another thing that makes this
new connection seem strange to many
is the fact that at the present time
Mr.. Rosenberg also. belongs 10 that
group which is raising Sl5,OOO,OO0 for
the relief of our Russian brothers,
and which, rightly or wrongly, is con-
siderod if not anti-Zionist, certainly
at least non-Zionist. This last fact
does make puzzling the close co-ope-
ration Of Mr.. Rosenberg with the Pal
estine undertaking.
1t was therefore with particular in
terest that l went to interview this
man OF seeming anomalies, to ascer-
tain in what manner, and for what
reason, his interest in Jewish art had
been revived. / found him, in the
quiet Of side room Of the Grand
Central Palace, busy at work on a
striking portrait of Professor Boris
Schatz, the founder and head of the
Bezalel School. As / waited for con-
venient lull, had wonderful oppor-
tunity Of studying the cultured and
expressive face of the painter, and
the kindly, visionary one of that other
artist who was sitting for him.
And then Mr.. Rosenberg explained.
The Ghetto Art of Venice
Several years ago | was wander
ing about in Venice. There, from the
splendors Of the Doge's palace and
the marvel of st. Marks Place, /
drifted into the ancient Ghetto, of
which had not even caught glimpse
before. There, in the austere and un-
decorated synagogue, there sprang to
my mind the injunction of the Bible,
Thou shalt not make thee any craven
image, nor any image of anything
that is in the heavens above, the
earth below, or the waters under the
earth. And | began to understand
how, from the lofty and ethereal con-
ception of God which engendered this
command, there had arisen from the
jew the prohibition against entering
the field Of plastic art, in spite of the
manifestly inherent creative spirit of
the jew. And it seemed to me again
an infinite pity that that desire and
aptitude for creative artistic activity
so well illustrated by Bezalel, who,
in the days of Moses, fashioned on
the sands of the desert a sanctuary
for the God Of his people-should for
so long have been repressed."
"But," / interrupted. sit is no long
er true that the jew is withdrawn
from active participation in the ar
tistic output of the world?" The
answer came readily:
Jew Coming Into His Own

happily true that the last twenty-five
years have witnessed the naissance of
Jewish art. While the new Jewish

Unique Collection of
Judaica Acquired by
Hebrew Union College
tJcwIsh Tclcgrophlc Agency

New lork-A unique collection OF
Judaica, forming the only museum oil
Jewish cultural history in this eoun-
try and the most complete in the
world, on its way to the Hebrew
Union College at Cincinnati. The
requisition of the museum was an
nounced by Adolph S. Oko, librarian
Of the college, who arrived in New
York recently from Europe, after a
ten weeks trip abroad, during which
he completed the purchase Of the col
lection. The museum was the prop
erty Of S. kirschstein in Berlin, and Il
includes the collections made by Mr..
krschstein during thirty-fve years,
and by Director Frauberger of the
Dusseldorf Museum.
Museum of Hebrew Culture
This collection tells in manuscript,
pictures, DEGREES, book and ceremonial
objects, the cultural history of the
Jews of the world from the Middle
Ages to the present day. The whole
panorama of the Jews is represented
all the objects used by him in his
religious worship, from the Ark of
the Torah to the Passover plates, the
achievements of the jew as an artist
and craftsman, as painter, etcher,
architect, sculptor, musician, writer
and philosopher.
Packed in thirty-four cases are g.
Ia items of artistic and historic i'm
portance. They were purchased by
Mr.. oko with fund raised from lead
ers Of the Union of American Hebrew
Congregations, which maintains the
Hebrew Union College and its library.
Among the contributors of the special
fund were Ben Selling, Of Portland,
Ore, and Julius Rosenwald, of Chi
cago, who contributed S25, 900 each;
others who gave to the fund were
Isaac W. Frank, of Pittsburgh;
Adolph S. Ochs and Ludwig Vogel-
stein, of New York; Simon Lazarus,
of Columbus, o.; A. j. Sunstein,
Maurice Falk, Bennie Neiman, Ma
thaniel Spear, all of Pittsburgh, and
Ben Altheimer, of New York.
Inquisition Relics
Outstanding among the thousands
Of objects is a cross of the Spanish
Inquisition. This is the only Inquisi-
tion cross, the existence of which col
lectors are aware, and it testifes to
tragic history. This cross, centuries
ago, was pressed into the hands OF
Jewish martyrs as they walked to the
stake, and the men who preferred to
die rather than renounce their faith
were forced to hold it aloft in their
death agony. The cross bears a Span
ish inscription which, translated in
part, says: "Who holds you, does not
have the cross; who holds you not has
the cross" The value of the cross is
estimated at $4,000.
Plans for new building are in
cluded in the S5,OOO,OOO national en-
dowment fund campaign which is
shortly to be launched by the Union
of American Hebrew Congregations
