Address On Hebrew Customs
At the Rotary meeting on Friday
evening, William Greenberg gave a
very interesting reading and talk on
Hebrew Customs and a few thoughts
Of the Jewish minds and expressed
the hope that it would meet with
their approval. The writer has had
the pleasure of reading Mr.. Green
berg's paper and in response to a
request by some of the club mem
hers, will endeavor to give a few re-
marks on the contents of the same.
In the beginning. Mr.. Greenberg
referred to the awarding of an Am
erican Hebrew medal in 1891 for the
promotion of better understanding
between Christian and Jew and read
copy of letter written by Pres
ident Hoover. offering his cOngratu-
lations to the committee making the
award and to its worthy recipient.
Archbishop Edward J. Hanna Of Cal
ifornia. After this he launched out |
on his subject with the statement !
that at the present time great stu
dies have been made i'm establishing |
a better mutual understanding be- |
tween the American Jews and their |
Christian friends. pointing out very !
clearly that he did not wish to glor-
ify the Jewish people to them that |
night, but his intentions were only |
to further a mutual understanding. |
He said a clear and concise defini- !
tion of Judaism is very difficult to
give for the reason that it is not a |
religion pure and simple, based |
upon accepted creeds, but is one in
connected with the Jewish |
nation as the depository and guard /
ian of the truths held by it for man
kind. We Jews have a more press
ing responsibility for our lives and
beliefs than perhaps any other re-
ligiOus community. A fierce light /
beats upon a Jew. II is a grave re-
sponsibility this-to be a Jew. ana
you can't escape from il even. if you \
choose to ignore it. Ethically or re- J
we Jews can be and do
nothing light-heartedly. In the days
Of the later Roman Empire through
out the time of the migration of ma
lions, it was not war alone that de-
stroyed and annihilated all those
people of which. despite their former
world dominating greatness, naught
remains but their name.
It was rather the ensuing demOr-
llization of home life. This is prov
dit cannot be repeated too often
)y the Jews; for they suffered more
severely and more cruelty by wars
han any other nation, but. among
hem, the inmost living germ of
norality-strict discipline and fam
ly devotion-was at all times pre-
ierved. This wonderful and myster-
GUS preservation of the Jewish peo-
lie is due to the Jewish woman.
This is her glory. not alone in the
history of her people. but i'm the his
