prepares for its opening session
on Sunday afternoon, August
29th. There will be five hundred
delegates in the great ballroom of
the Waldorf-Astoria Some will
be more eloquent speakers than
Henry Monsky. Others will be
more distinguished scholars. Many
will be more effective writers.
Few will be more representative
of the entire American Jewish
community than the president Of
B'nai Birth. When he looks out
upon the great audience he may
properly feel a sense of pride for
the part he played in calling the
assembly together At a time
when others were doubtful of the
wisdom or the success of such an
enterprise, he stepped forward to
give it sponsorship. The seeds
sown at Pittsburgh on January
23rd at a Conference of National
Jewish Membership Organizations
summoned by the B'nai Birth will
have lowered to their maturity.
Henry MOnsky is a product and
a symbol of American Jewish life.
1t is an appropriate reflection of
the changes that have occurred in
that life that as B'nai Birth
marks its hundredth anniversary
in October, 1913, that OrganiZa-
ton should be headed by a Jew
whose parents came from Lithu-
ania, who is a native-bOrn Amer
lean, who had a traditional jew
ish education and whose leader
ship arises from the distinction
he gained in the Middle West. A
century ago there were some 15,-
900 Jews in all the United States.
A handful Of German Jews re-
spOnded to the call of Henry
Jones of New York to form the
B'nai Birth in 1843-tO create
another organization. a Jewish
replica of its neighbOrs, with Sc
cret symbols and the uniform of
the ritual societies. B'nai Birth
was at first wholly identified
with German Jewry in America.
1t was not until the last genera
ton that East European Jews be-
gan flowing into that Organiza-
ton, charging it, enriching it.
1t was fitting that the son of an
Orthodox cantor, who immigrated
into the United States in the '80s,
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1943-08-27

or his legal background.
It isn't what he looks like but
what he is that makes Henry
Monsky a figure to be reckoned
with. He is not a partisan in
Jewish life except insofar as a
man having profound convictions
on fundamental principles may be
described as a partisan. His per-
spective or Jewish and American
problems is perhaps broader be-
cause of the advantage of his
Middle Western environment and
because he has had to live in the
laboratory rather than the library
of Jewish communal experience.
He believes in the survival of the
Jews as a group which can enrich
itself and the world at large
through Jewish existence. That
does not make him a parochialist.
His own record reveals the con-
Germ he has with the Wilderness of
life for a citizen of America and
of the world. He is a Zionist.
Within the B'nai Birth his per-
suasiveness as an advocate and as
a respecter of the beliefs Of 9TH
ers has been best displayed in the
mounting support which the B'nai
Birth has given to Palestine pur-
poses. There are aspects of the
B'nai Births relationship to 9TH
er civic-defense agencies during
the past five years which have
teen the subject of accusations
and determinations. 1t is an area
too crisscrossed with conflicting
motives to permit judgments all
black or all white. But in judg-
ing Henry Monsky's relationship
to these problems, it might be
kept in mind that the head of an
organization is often merely its
spokesman. not the formulator of
its position.
Henry MOnsky is a militant
Jew. That does not mean that he
has chip on his shoulder. He
is straightforward in meeting his
Jewish responsibilities. He has no
patience with the type of Jew
who feels that the solution of the
Jewish problem lies in personal or
collective Obeisance or disappear
ance. He is also a reaIist. That
does not mean that he yields to
OppOrtunism. He recognizes how
ever that it is the function of
leadership to obtain unity among
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1943-08-27

the forces it leads. To achia,,.
that unity often involves the curh-
ing of temperament, the softenino
of expression, the remoIdine Of
phrasing. These virtues are f.
be admired in one who, together
with other leaders of American
Jewry, will be faced with the ne.
cessity of bridging the differences
that mark the delegates to the
American Jewish Conference
Henry MOnsky will be soft and
yielding where he believes trivia
to be involved. He will be sinh
born and intractable where great
principles for the preservation of
Jewish life are at stake. That is
not prophecy. That is merely a
reading of the record of his mar.
ticipatiOn in Jewish communal
life.
Henry Monsky will be one of
the two principal speakers at the
opening session of the American
Jewish Conference. He NAV be
more explicit, but he cannot be
more eloquent than he was at
Pittsburgh on January 23rd when
addressing the seventy or eighty
men and women gathered there
he sounded the keynote and gave
his reasons for the wisdom of con-
vening a representative body of
American Jews. What he said
then might well be the theme of
the Conference since it is the best
Identification for the spirit and
philosophy of Henry Monsky. His
closing paragraph was:
MAY 1 express the hope that
our decisions shall be responsive
to, and cOnSOnant with, not only
the practical needs but with the
spirit, the hopes and the aspira-
tons of the Jewish people. Let
our deliberations be characterized
by tolerance and a proper per-
Spective of the whole of Jewish
life. Let us think i'm terms of the
preservation of the vital spirit Of
Judaism, the great contemporary
Jewish movements, the lessons of
Jewish history, a courageous, SELF
respecting Jewish community,
and, above all else, the indOmit-
able will to live as Jews"

Marginal Notes On Henry MOnsky, Creator
OF The American Jewish Conference
BY HENRY MONITOR

Henry Monsky was the only one
who came to the platform who did
not have his tongue in his cheek.
The atmosphere was tense in the
ballroom of a Cleveland hotel as
representatives of many commun-
tiles gathered to hear reports on
the unificatiOn of civic-protective
agencies. The Introductory speak
er had sharply castigated the
B'nai Birth for its alleged m-
willingness to accept a merger
while all the others had agreed.
There was confederation of the
speakers allegation as represen-
tatives of the three other groups
came forward to assert the entire
willingness of their bodies to yield
their identities. To the delegates
unfamiliar with the vagaries Of
Jewish communal life it was,
therefore, a shock to hear Henry
Monsky explain why the B'nai
Birth could not accept the pro-
gram that had been outlined. He
could have taken the easier
course. The delegates would uni
formly have applauded him if, as
had the other speakers, he had
cast truth to the wind and said
that his organization stood ready
to accept the plaA of unification.
He might, on the other hand, have
pointed out that the other three
had shrOuded their acceptance with
50 many reservations as to make
acceptance meaningless. Henry
MOnsky decided that this was no
time to talk with tongue in
cheek.
Monsky rarely does. That solid
virtue is one of the notable traits
of a man whose stature in the
Jewish community has steadily
expanded. His name is in the
forefront of the Jewish news as
