Rabbi Harry Captain
Highlights Brotherhood
Week Observance At
Bennett College

Greensboro, N. G.. "A series of address
ses and forums at Bennett College on Feb.
17-1S marked the observance of Brother
hood Week at that Methodist school for
Negro women
Hlghlighting the weeks activities was
a speech by Rabbi Harry Captain, repre-
sentative of the Jewish Chatauque of Ra-
leigh, N. c. who spoke on "The Three
Pillars of the World" at chapel services
ON February II.
The three pillars on which the world
must rest its future, Rabbi Captain said,
are religion, science, and education. He
called for reafirmation of the princi-
pals of Christianity and the Jewish faith
declaring that the failure of the peoples
of the world to become integrated is large
y the result of the immoral societies of
today.
A Nietzsche-like philosophy of immor-
atty has been growing throughout the
world, he asserted. The German philoso-
pher Nietzsche, he pointed out, condemned
Christianity as a moral enslavement of
the people. This philosophy which shuns
brotherly love and the love of God is a
great enemy of democracy, the visiting
Rabbi declared.
Communism, like facism and nazism
is based on the Nietzsche principle, Rabbi
Captain said, A renewed faith in God and
invigorated brotherly love must combat
this philosophy of deceit, he stated.
Rabbi Captain conducted a number of
class and other group discussions while
on the Bennett campus
