Rabbi Kagan holds that new
attitude cannot be accepted until
the old one is dislodged, and pro-
vision must be made during dis
cussion for a free expression of
hostility. He says, This cathar-
sis must be guided or it may
merely reinforce self-justifica-
lions. But the cathartic discus
sion technique used in groups has
served as a talking cure by shock
ing listeners out of complacency
or by exhausting pent up hostil-
ity until they are receptive to new
facts. Only then does the recon-
struction of attitudes begin. The
individual must himself become
actively involved in the inter-
group problem and he will ac-
cept new values if he considers
them to be accepted by the

when the second group evalu-

into its stereotype thinking and
made it's own decisions about the
of it's prejudgments, then
the prejudice of the individual
members of the group was sig

Because the new attitude of

PLAIN TALK
BY Alfred sesal
AL JOLSoN'S TALITH

came upon a couple Of gen.
tlemen whose earnest discussion
suggested they might be on a
Jewish problem. right in the mid
\ die Of the sidewalks traffic.
'Now what do you think about
it, Segal" one Of them exclaimed.
About what?"
"Al Jolson's talith."
That morning the newspapers
had reported that AL was lying
in state dressed in talith.
well, what's the argument
about?" I asked.
THE question is. one Of them
replied. whether a man. who
seldom wore talith during his
lifetime should be dressed up in
one for his funeral? What do you
think. Segal?"
I had a ready answer, since I
had been thinking about the mat
ter earlier. So I said: Well, gen.
tlemen, I myself won't insist upon
being dressed up in a talith at
my funeral. Not often, since my
bar mitzvahN did I wear a talith
and why should I take on a talith
in my last moments on the earth
and in the eternity of the grave?
But somehow. gentlemen. I
got thrill from hearing that AL
Jolson had gone to his funeral in
the talith. I could respect him
the more simply because in this
symbol a visible and public as
sertion of his ancestral faith was
being offered. He was dressed as
all his forefather were in their
times. Others who come to fame
and fortune have sloughed off
the habiliments of their Jewish
indemnity as a kind of social dis
ability not to be tolerated.
recalled one I had heard
about. This one, having risen to
considerable eminence, liked to
think of himself as a man re-
leased from the Jewish context;
though, in fact, he was always
being pushed back into it.
Finally. though. at his grave
he managed to escape from it all.
He succeeded in being buried in
a fashionable cemetery of which
the inhabitants were mostly nom
Jewish. There nobody who came
upon his grave could suspect that
he had been a Jew. It was his
final victory. you see. He had
become a comfortable man at
last. with no other Jews around to
disturb him.
So admire the more dignified
way in which Al JolSon journey
ed to his grave-in the talith, in
a public assertion of his religious
inheritance. Sure, he probably |
hadn't had a talith on since his
bar mitzvah. I can guess that
even on Yom Kippur he hadn't
made much of the synagogue; yet !
he hadn't forgotten the teaching |
and on his way out he was say
ing, 81 was Jew!"
One Of the gentlemen said:
Your idea of being a Jew is just
too simple. Does the wearing Of
a talith make a Jew?"
It's the least, I replied. But |
I should say that Al Jolson was
a good Jew even though in the |
practice of Judaism he served no |
ecclesiastical cult, or was ever
president of a synagogue or
chairman of the lemonade COM

on housing for minority groups,
admitted, however, that in the
past few years private enterprise
is beginning to recognize the sig
nificance of shifts in the econo-
mic and social status of Negroes
and other non white groups.
The last recorded United States
census showed that approximately
20 percent ofthe nonwhite urban
families receive incomes of 49,
900 and over and one in every 10
nonwhite households are paying
$40 or more per month for rent.
The same census revealed that

the larger urban centers Of the
