is A RABBI

4oOO4SS
The title Rabbi is freely extended to many
other categories of individuals. Any person profess
sionallY associated with a synagogue in the capacity
of cantor. Hebrew teacher. sexton. or choir leader
will in all likelihood. sooner or later. become known
as rabbi" This particular synagogue functionarY
happens to be a frustrated rabbi-having attended
a Yeshiva in his Youth-he will not discourage the
use of this title. and before long he will have at
tanned the degree that eluded him in his student
years. If he happens to have a cynical attitude TO-
wards the rabbinate. as some synagogue function
aries unfortunately do. he will still find himself re-
ferred to as rabbi" by many members of the COM
munitY in spite of his protestations. The relative
ease with which all categories of synagogue func-
tionaries are ordained" by their congregations can
be best observed during periods of rabbinic vac
ancY. The lay leaders of the congregation will
often call upon the cantor. Hebrew teacher or SEX
ton to act as the temporary rabbi. Such promo
lions" are not considered unnatural or undesir-
able. They are often welcomed by economy mind
ed officers.
Rabbinic titles are surreptitiouslY extended al
so to other Jewish functionaries outside the sYna-
gogue. The distraught fund-collector or meshulach
who stands at the door pleading with the secretary
to be allowed to speak to the boss is an unwelcon1e
visiting Rabbi" Every kosher Understandable is
presided over by a feather-bedecked rabbi" The
methodical and dignified shochet in the large
slaughter house is called by his associates rabbi"
The sociable and courteous nobel who impresses
all the relatives at the bris with his winning way
of telling jokes is a rabbi" The shy and neatly
dressed mashgiach sitting at the kitchen door of
the ballroom during the wedding-feast has always
been a rabbi" It is not an entirely uncommon
occurrence to refer TO the kosher caterer and
butcher as reverend" especially if he wears a
Yarmulke. The same title Is sometimes extended
to the Jewish undertaken as well as TO the chair
man and vice-chairman of the SocietY's cemetery
committee.

BARUcH ~SILVERSTEIN

Editors note: Rabbi Baruch Silverstein is spiritual
leader Of Temple Emanuel in Brooklyn. N.Y.
The title Rabbi is rapidly becoming a most am
biguous term. Il is the only professional title a
person can arrogate to himself without any fear
Of being questioned about his credentials. It's con-
notations. once clear and definite. are now becom-
ing increasingly blurred. Unwarranted applca-
tion of this title to numerous individuals only re-
motely related to the rabbinnate is erasing its ex-
clusiveness.
AS formal recognition of special training. a.
chievements and earned status. the title Rabbi
has all but lost its significance. Jewish institutions
of higher learning. the only authorized bodies TO
issue such degrees. are totally powerless to pre-
vent misrepresentation Of their prerogatives. Or
thodox Yeshivas may insist. among other require
ments. upon a comprehensive knowledge Of Tai
mud and related works before granting Smichah.
There are. however. scores OF self-stYled Rabonim
whose documentary evidence is a well-kept secret.
Conservative and Reform seminaries demand from
their students a four or ~five-Year course of gradu-
ate studies before ordination. There are. however.
numerous self ordained "rabbis" whose secular and
religious training were hardly so strenuous.
The average American Jew is very liberal with
the use of the title Rabbi. He is ready to bestow the
title upon anyone who. in his imagination. looks
like a rabbi. Thus an elderly Jew with a long beard.
or a short unkept one. becomes a rabbi" automa-
ticallY: the young man whose cheeks are adorned
with long side-curls becomes at least a rabbinic
student. The fellow-vacationist sitting at the next
dining-room table at a Catskill resort and wear
ing a Yarmulke during meals. becomes suspect
of being a clergyman. If he should continue to wear
the skull cap in the lobby after the meal. his
curious hotel-mates will probably confront him
with the question. Are you a rabbit" No wonder
that the recent anti-Israel protest meeting arranged
the Neturei Karta was reported in the press as
consisting mostly Of "rabbis." The great majority
of those in attendance had boards and pei'os. wore
long capotes and black hats. They looked" like

Two appearances were made by
Smith before Congressional bodies
in April. He exploited the public
hearings of the Senate Foreign
Relations COMMITTEE on United
Nations matters and showed up to

sions he injected anti Semitism
into his testimony.

bigots + growing holder and are
reaching an ever-expanding audi
ence." Steele warned that unless
checked by exposure and educa-
ton. they again may grow strong
enough to subject the nation to a
bath of hate"
MANY of the current buck
~sters," Steele found, 'use anti
Communism as the cloak for their
bigotry. They have learned that
anti Communism is an effective
sugar-coating to make the bitter
bill of hate palatable to some
Americans"
Steele said "haters also use
anti Communism to screen them
selves from attacks. Anyone who
turns the spotlight on their prac-
tices can expect TO be branded by
them as a Red. Identifying Smith
as mo. l" professional bigot,
Steele said Smiths receipts for the
last three years averaged over
$l85.000 a year. This compares
with $4,000 he reported in 1850.
Smith was associated with Gov.
Huey Long of Louisiana. When
long wa assassinated, Smith de-
livered the funeral grafton. He
later moved to Detroit where Fa-
Their Charles E. Couglin's social
justice" agitation was under way.
In 1947 Smith founded the Chris
tan Nationalist Crusade in st.
Louis. Today he operates from
Los Angeles.
In 1850 Smith figured in Wash
ington affairs when he helped
engineer the abortive plot to
block Senate confirmation of Mrs.
Anna M. Rosenberg as Assistant
Secretary of Defense. He led the
hate attack on President Eisen-
hover in 1852. At the Chicago Re-
publican convention he distri-
buted extensive anti Semitic mat
ter attacking liberal" Democrats
and Republicans alike. He sought
to engineer a Presidential nomi-
nation for Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur and subsequently ran the
General as Christian Nationalist
candidate for the Presidency.
Two years ago Smith organized
a new San Francisco conference,
this one to abolish the United
Nations" His motto: Take the

PLAIN TALK
sHoLoM. BOYS. SHoLEM!
BY ALFRED SEGAL


This column was about to start
up again a hot. almost bitter.
argument that has been going on
in the Hebrew Union College of
our town. where the boys are
studying to become rabbis of the
Reform persuasion.
It's all about the Berlin Phil
harmonic which had a date in our
town. One group of the students
the minority-was insisting that
it would be emulating the ways of
Hitler to demand that the music
of these Berliners be suppressed.
They said they wouldn't think of
going to hear the concert but they
wouldn't stop the music, by way
of protesting against some of the
Nazis who were in that band.
The other. much larger. side
practically said to hell with that
Berlin orchestra. though. being
candidates for the rabbinate. they
didn't exactly use the word hell.
myself got into the argument in
the daily press.
But now, as I was about to take
it up again here, I am feeling be-
unused by the inspiration of some
beautiful music about Sholom. I
heard it just the other day. It
made me feel almost like wanting
to cry that afternoon in one of our
hotels. 1t was at our Hadassah So
ciety's luncheon, 700 ladies pres
ent, and I like to think they took
Sholom home with them and
brought only peace to the hearts
of their husbands that evening.
To get there I had rushed
through my daily stint at the Of
flee. TO be on time for the pro-
gram: because one of my daugh-
ters-in-law. Marcella. was playing
the piano and dancing there as
well. Only two other males were
present. as guests-Dr. Schulzin-
ger and Cantor Emil Rosen. DR..
Schulzinger too. had a special in
terest in Hadassah that day. His
son-in-law Nafatalli Frankel had
written the cantata "Sholom"
which those lovely red-robed girls
sang. and he was directing them
as well.
I was so glad to have stolen
away from my job to be there, to
get raised so high by the idea of
Sholom as l never had been be-
fore, to be lifted to the stars, you
might say, on the voices of these
girls, to feel my tired feet going
along on Sholom with the feet Of
the dancing girls.
I am no critic of music but it's
enough credit. I guess. for any
piece of music when an ordinary
guy feels that way about it. II
came to know Sholom that after
noon as an element of my Jewish
being. II had TO do with much
more than the peace that's in the
talk of statesmen: il was Of the
peace of mind. of the peace that
tells me I should love my neigh
Dor as myself: the peace that. at
least. keeps me tolerant even Of
people I have no particular reason
to love: of the peace that keeps
my heart from all envy and hate.
All that was in the words of the
song Naftali Frankel had written
and which the singers sang and
the dancers danced.
