WHAT ROSN HASNONAH MEANS

the true essence of religiOn-can
IN some way overcome individual
death. They not only preach, but
they have-many of them-the
necessary authority from their
congregations to make at least
some of their memberships act in
accordance with their religious
teachings. And so there remains
saving of remnant of true
Christians Quakers, Mennonites,
some Methodists, some Catholics
ever in this present-day mater
ialistic, pleasure-mind America.
Charity in the form of money
is good and welcome to the poor
who need it, but it is not an ex-
preston of religiosity on the part
of the individual who distributes
it, unless the giving of that money
represents a real sacrifice on his
part. How many Jews in this
country in giving charity are
really sacrificing something? How
many prefer to give the money
which they might have spent on
a new car to local philanthropies?
Religion is giving of ones self
until it hurts-hurts physically,
but satisfies spiritually. How
much OF yourself are you giving
for the benefit of your fellow
Jew, or your fellow-man?
