CONTINUED from Page Three)

The answer which Reconstruc-
tionism gives is this: the prime
mistake is to speak Of the Jews
as a religious group; not only be-
cause, as Observation-Disclosures be-
heve, the Jews constitute much
more than religious group, but
because no group can be said to
be only religious group, in the
sense that is based purely and
simply around a set Of beliefs.
What holds groups together. In
almost every instance, is not an
idea held in common, but group
loyalty based upon a common life,
common history, common expert
ences, common languages, COM
men customs, traditions and ha-
bits. This explains why 'irreli-
gious" Jews join congregations:
they are expressing group loyalty
and the desire &c make themselves
an integral part of Jewish COM
;1unal life, even though they Go
not agree with CERTAIN ideas or in
di'idual practices n those inSti-
tut:onS.
This explains, go, why Jews
CAL agree with the Christians on
certain fundamental human val
ueS, and at the same time resist
conversion, or even assimilation.
Judaism is civilization; ard
Jews are held together by cOn
mon sense of kinship or clOseness
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1941-02-28

to the various elements in that civ
iIizatiOn: the common memories,
habits, customs and traditions. In
their thinking, they may disagree
with one another, and some may
even agree with nOn-Jews. New
ertheless, they have more in com
mon with feIlOw-JewS with whom
they disagree, than with Christ
ians, with whom they agree.
Happiness the Goal
The Reconstructionist viewpoint
insists that this condition of af-
fairs is not, and should not be
regarded as, abnormal or wrong.
On the contrary. only on this ba-
sis can we hope to achieve that
condition of peaceful relationship
between various groups, to which
all our goodwill work is directed.
We must achieve a recognition Of
the fact that the Jewish people
does not base its claim to exist
ence upon its disagreements with
non-Jews: nor does it surrender
that claim when agreements are
reached with nOn-JeWS on their
respective ethical values. Jews
claim the right to be Jews on the
ground that they are happier when
they live together with their own
and the Declaration of Indepen-
dence expressly states that we are
all entitled to 1.-The pursuit Of hap
piness."
The fact remains, however, that
complete happiness cannot be
achieved through group loyalty
alone. When adherence to q group
becomes an end in itself, serious
dangers are created. The group
tends to become chauvinistic, and
to measure all values by the yard
stick of group values: a thing is
good if it advances the group,
and is bad if it is Instantaneous
to the group. Unless group life is
infused with ethical religion, the
group becomes self-centered, and
its adherents are deprived of the
spiritual growth and inspiration
which are necessary for their true
happiness.
This is why Judaism without re-
igion is as Objectionable as Jew
ISL religion without Jewish group
life is inconceivable. The Recon
structionist movement seeks to
teach this truth. that while Juda-
ism includes more than religion,
it does not really function as a
force for good without religion.

Led BY Congressman Martin +.
Smith. from washington's srd
(southwest) district. keynote Of
the congressional opinion voiced
was based upon an energetic plea
for construction OF wooden mer-
chant ships in northwest ship
yards. to supplement the short
age Of steel necessary for confin-
ued production of warshlps and
merchant ships under the present
governmental program.
These matters transcend
politics." Smith said. Il think
IL In time not only con-
gress but the whole eoun-
try be aroused as 10 these
vital matters. I believe I am
offering constructive criticism
based on. facts. concerning the
manner In which our ship
building program Is being
handled"
A 20 million ton shortage Of
steel is already foreseen for the
coming IL months, Smith pointed
out. while at the same time the
government is taking increasing
of ships from American
domestic and offshore fleets.
Concensus OF house members
was that wood. and even concrete,
be used TO build merchant ships;
that steel ships cannot be pro-
duced speedily enough to meet the
nations present emergencies.
wooden ships are just rs
serviceable, less costly, could
be constructed more rapidly
and be repaired more easily"
Smith declared In reference 10
the present policy of building
steel ships only.
He pointed out that great num-
bers Of wooden ships were built in
northwest shipyards during World |
war l under circumstances similar
10 those existing now. Northwest |
shipyards have the experience,
and labor for duplicating
he feat, he said.
