other public places? Are Jews
elected to office in the local
Chamber of Commerce, in nom
sectarian fraternal organizations,
phiIanthrOpic and civic agencies?
The answers to these questions,
says DIR. Fineberg, give us the
clue to the state of affairs in a
community, and his book is really
devoted to helping the adjustment
along these basic lines.
To be sure, he has to offer also
some constructive advice concern
ing the anti-Semitic flare-ups. His
advice to the Jewish community is
based both on good reasoning and
on sober insight. Don't defend
yourself against every anti
Semitic accusation unless you're
forced to. BY defending yourself
you often play into the hands of
the maligner who wants to make
you the object of public discussion.
Instead of defense, use the method
# planned attack. Point out the
,eal intentions of the anti-Semite,
Intentions which are as detriment-
Il to the non-Jews as to the Jews;
show that the malicious anti
Semitic is undermining the very
foundations of peaceful living; of
the American principle of society,
and that he is consciously or I'M
consciously an enemy of all the
average decent American stands
for. DR.. Fineberg counsels sobri-
ETY. and temperatures in handling
these Incidents; he demonstrates
that hysteria, over-anxiety and
impulsive reactions are not the
best guides in such matters.
But the impact of this most

Anti-Semitism, like many an
other complex social problem, has
been discussed time and again on
the high level of theory and alb
stractiOns, and the serious inquirer
can find a number of books adj
vancing various hypothesis as to
its causes and it's development
through the ages, from Hannah
to Hitler. The difficulty begins,
however, the moment one descends
from the elevated plane of the
eternal and UNIVERSAL and is
confronted with the very vital and
acute question:: "W'hat am go
ing to do about it?" The one
who puts this question in such a
manner expects the answer, not in
terms of the general and abstract,
but in terms of living experience,
of a program of action and con-
duct in this particular environ
ment of the U. S. A.; and unfOr-
tunately very few of the standard
books on the subject have any
thing substantial to offer.
This question, whether asked by
Jew or Gentle, usually follows
the recounting of an actual hap
pening in an American commun-
ity. This happening may be the
defacing of synagogue's walls
with swastikas; or a vicious anti
Semitic attack in the local news
paper; or a nasty utterance by a
public official, or any other Incl
dent which disturbs normal rela-
tionship between the Jewish and
non-Jewish communities and re-
quires wise and calm considera-
ton. Guidance along this line
cannot be found, as indicated
above, in the general literature on
the subject.

this void has now been made In

timely and valuable book is not so
much in handling the symptoms
as in preventing the growth of
this social disease. In his own
words: "UnlesS Jews change their
conception of combating anti
Semitism to one of continuous
sanitation and prevention, the bar
riers against anti-Semitic aggres-
sion will be thin indeed"
DR.. Fineberg is an optimist. He
believes that the Jews of America
will never suffer any grave harm
as long as they take reasonable
precautions, and that the two ma
jor dangers are apathy and fear.
He believes that the Jews of
America can lessen the menace by

jemitism," published by Harper
& Brothers. The author of this
book, Solomon Andhil Fineberg,
las all the qualifications to deal
With this matter. He combines the
scholar and the man of affairs.
He served as a rabbi in several
important Jewish communities and
thus had the opportunity to OBJ
serve and influence JeWiSh-nOn-
Jewish relations; he has also been
active in various social and phiIan-
thrOpic organizations, and has Oc-
cupied the post of National Chap
lain of the Jewish War Veterans
of the United States. But his
primary qualification is the fact
that he has been the community
cOnsultant of the American Jew
ish Committee in which capacity
he has been living with this prob
lem for a number of years, actual
ly engaged in combating anti
Semitism and judging the effect
of various techniques. This alone
gives him sufficient authority to
compel our attention.
overcoming Anti-Semitism' is
not collection of behavior form
ulas; the author realizes only too
well that anti-Semitism is so deep
ly rooted in ancient religious pre-
JUDGES, in various social bases
and in psychological outlets, that
remedies cannot be prescribed off
hand. DR.. Fineberg does, however,
something more than that: he Of
fers us a basic approach to the
problem of prevention and cure
of this social illness, which en-
ables us to act wisely in various
situations.
To DIR. Fineberg the problem is
not to be measured by the yard
stick of incidents" he keeps on
insisting through the entire book
that the significance of isolated
incidents may be, and frequently
are exaggerated in the heat of the
moment. A single anti-JeWiSh re-
mark at a social gathering or a
blackmail letter by an obscure
local publisher who is after Jewish
advertising, or the distribution of
a libelOus pamphlet, are in them
selves sometimes no cause for
anxiety. The test of JeWiSn-nOn-
Jewish relationships as is in the
more stable and durable phases of
life. He rightly points out that.
in order to ascertain the position
of the Jews in a particular com.
munity, one must get the answer
to questions like: To what eX-
tent is there discrimination iE
employment To what extent are
residential districts open to Jews
or restricted against them? Are
Jewish children elected to school
