10 THINGS

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL)-New
York was the scene of interest to
thousands who came from the four
corners of the globe to attend the
National Convention of the Women
of the Churches of God in Christ
last week end, under the leader
ship of their National President,
Miss Lillian B. Coffey, who halls
from Detroit, Michigan.
Organization is a great thing
and when three thousand or more
women get together, organized in
spirit, prayer, faith, and service,
with God as the Pilot that's
| somethingi And that is just what
the Women had in mind last week,
as they attended their sessions at
the Mount Morris Presbyterian
Church here in New York City.
State Supervisors who came
ready to carry out a full program
of women United in Prayer and
Action" were: North Carolina,

Thus, Maine to California made
the program of the Women some
thing worth reading about and
the activities with enjoying.
Also prominent among those in
attendance was DR.. ARENA C. NAL

of any notice. Her Presidency at

surely we cannot overlook her work
with and for the National Council

A bare, arduous life and an un-
relenting austerity have not de-
prived the Jews in this country
of their sense of humor. Occa-
sionally, the story has sharp
edge to it:
"Why is Israel like a potato?"
And the answer comes back in
Yiddish:
"ES Egt in drerd, ober eS tUakSt!'
Product of the Ghetto
1t isn't difficult to guess the
origin of this humor-an unmis-
taxable product of the European
ghetto, where an answering re-
ligious devotion and pride of
peoplehood were accompanied by
down to earth skepticism and
ironical comment on daily exist
ence. We see it in the Israelis'
approach to their national leader,
who is admired for his great
qualities but is not above criticism
("Er is nor a nenSch" or "Hu rak
ben adam").
The Minister of Trade and In
dustry, known simply to the man
in the street as the Minister for
Rationing, comes in for a great
deal of friendly banter. One day
he received a complimentary let
ter, in which the writer told him
what a wonderful administrator
he was, how skillfully he had or
ganized the rationing system, de-
spite the tremendous problems in
volved, and what a great job he
was doing for the country.

with this letter that he replied

Slgmund Freud, a Jew, suffered
all the insults and indignities that
are generally reserved for all the
great pioneers of thought who dis
close unpleasant truth. After him
have come many other notable
practitioners: A. A. Brill, We'll
helm Reich, Theodore Reik, AL
fred Adler, Fritz Wittels, and
Erick F'romm.
By nature analytical, intensely
interpretive, curious about him
self and the psychic conflicts
people have to face, the analyst
directs his knowledge and dag
nostic skill to the practical prob
lem of achieving cure.
1t is this which perhaps
serves to explain why Jews are
attracted so strongly to psyche
analysis. Those who belong to
minority groups are inclined to
be overly sensitive; victims of
insecurity, subject to discrim-
inatiOn of all kinds, they react
by becoming aggressive or in
Prospective, susceptible to psy-
chic wounds and traumatic les
ions.
There are, to be sure, no spe-
cifically Jewish" neuroses. All
we can say with any degree of
medical objectivity is that Jews
display a significant psychopath-
illogical tendency to react with
excessive anxiety in many critical
situations. And that, again, is
because they live in a psyche
logical space that is charged with
danger. Out of their oppressive
emotional insecurity arises the
tendency to indulge in incessant
introspection and self-analysis.
Jewish pSychOanalystS are
naturally very much interested
in discovering the reasons, un-
conscious as well as conscious,
for anti-Semitic OutburstS of
hatred.
Freud himself, in Totem and
Taboo and Moses and Monothe-
ism, paved the way Though a
brilliant student, he soon learned
The Arizona post., 1952-09-19

from bitter personal experience
the meaning of anti-Semitism.
His conclusions, formulated in
Moses and Monotheism, are that
anti-Semitism springs from the
ancient Jewish ritual of circum-
cision, which to the unconscious
of the Gentle connotes castra-
ton. Those who have been "cas-
trated" are obviously inferior;
those who are capable of "cas-
trating" their children are to be
held in fear. '"The hatred for
Judaism is at bottom hatred for
Christianity :" Freud wrote.
There is no need for the Jew
ish psychOanalyst to defend
himself against nasty anti-Se-
mitic aspersiOns. His best de-
fenSe lies in the constructive
work he is doing in curing dam
mayed souls. In trying to COM
bat the influence of the irratiOn-
al in human behaviour, in strug-
Cling reSOlutely with the prob
lem of the abnormal, in striv-
ing to reduce the incidence of
psychic suffering, the psychOan-
alysts are carrying on, in their
own way, the noble tradition es-
tablished by the Jewish prOph-
cts of old.
