PLAIN TALK
CONTINUED from Page oue)

They were faithful Jews. be-
sides. That is to say. they were
in all things loyal to their Jew
ish identity. They felt. too. that
as righteous citizens they were
giving noblest expression to their
identity as Jews. There was no
cause for Jews to be afraid then.
So, in our town, the Jewish
com m u n ity flourished and
brought up it's children right for
more than 100 years in the public
and Hebrew schools. It was a
fine Jewry. What is the reason
for the Jewish parochial school
rising up after these 100 years?
I do not quarrel with it. though
I deplore the cause that gave it
being. To my mind it springs
from a new feeling Of insecurity
among Jews. The non-Jewish
neighbors don't look as friendly
as they used to be long ago. That
occasional nasty kid who shout
ed Jew" now has grown sons
and daughters who whisper it.
People feel that the Jewish
destiny of their children must be
guarded against the hostility that
has come up to surround them.
They ask: How safe will the
Judaism of our children stand
when encompassed by forces
which suggest that being a Jew
is something less than being a
member OF other groups.
Yes. they say. let us sequester
our children in this school.house
beside the road. far back on this
spacious lawn. Their Judaism
will stand safe here toward the
future. We will teach them all
they could get in the public
schools and keep them Jewish be-
sides. The insidious hostility that
Is all around will not touch them.
They can grow up to be proud
Jews. holding their heads high
rs people who know the Jewish
history: people who remain mind
ful that they came all the way
from Sinai.
I respect their views, even
though do not share their fears.
