Missionaries We Don't Need!

BESIDES PORK, there was
no circumcision and, after the
church switched the day of
rest from the seventh day to
the first day, there was an
other difficulty. Today these
would present less formidable
obstacles. Circumcision is al
most universal, and the two
day weekend has minimiZed
the Sabbath difference.
Some say that, therefore,
we should now try to resume
missionary activity. But it
seems to show, on the con-
trary, that the world is COM
ing along the Jewish way,
without our sending out any
missionaries.
The Arizona post., 1959-04-17

Greeks and Romans became
Jews. St. Paul in the New
Testament chides the Jews
with crossing an ocean to gain
one convert.
If this missionary urge dis
appeared, perhaps it was
chiefly because Christianity
offered too severe competi-
ton. Chain Liebernan tells
the story of the woman who
decided to convert her family
to Judaism-but she delayed
one week, and two, and three.
Finally her son asked the
reason for the delay. 81 am
waiting until the can of pork
in the cellar is finished" she
explained.
The Arizona post., 1959-04-17
David Schwartz:

WE JEWS don't get many
converts but, when we do, we
usually get very pretty ones,
as in the case of Elizabeth
Taylor. Love usually paves
the way for those who join
our ancient fraternity. After
love comes faith. It must be
a great love or a great faith,
for what do we offer the con-
vert?
Is it that he will become a
member of a powerful ma
jority ruling governments and
great armies which will af-
ford him protection and secur-
ity in this world? Obviously
we cannot offer that. We can
not offer him security in this
world or any greater secru-
ity in the world to come, for
our sages have said that "the
righteous of all nations in
herit eternal life" Reb Jere-
miah, according to the Tai
mud, said: "It is not written,
Open ye the gates and let
enter the Priests and Levites
and the Israelites, but let the
righteous people who keep
the truth enter"
Still we do have things to
offer. MatZos on PeSach and
Kneidlach too, latkes on Chan
ukah, a chance to fast on Yom
Kippur, a better chance to
read the Talmud. A chance to
think the Jewish way. Every
people think a little different
ly. 1 think the Jewish way
puts a greater emphasis on
social righteousness. We seem
to emphasize, not so much the
Kingdom of Heaven, as the
Kingdom of Heaven on earth,
or, maybe better still, the
republic of Heaven, for I
don't think Jews take to
kings. 1 am, of course, no the
ologian. I may be mistaken,
but that is the way it looks
to me.
THE DIFFERENCES in the
ron-dogmatic elements of re-
Iigions are small. I was
reading the interview with
the poet Robert Frost the
other day. He was quoted as
saying that we should en-
courage differences. I am in
clined to that view. Israel
Zangwill speaking, to the
Congress of Religions at the
Worlds Fair in Chicago, said
hsImorously: 81 understand
The Arizona post., 1959-04-17

that a gold medal is to be
awarded the best religion" "
Some people seem to think in
those terms. 1t is nonsense of
course. Is the rose better than
the violet, the geranium than
the daffodil? 1t would be ter
rible if every flower were of
one species.
The ancient prophets of Is
rael were concerned with
spreading the ideals of Juda-
ism but not the making of
Jews. What did they preach?
That "the sword should be
turned into the ploughshare...
and nations no more learn the
art of war. What doth the
Lord require of thee but to
deal justly, to love mercy and
walk humbly with thy God. "
THEY PREACHED ethical
righteousness, not a way of
entering Heaven, L? he later
Talmudic times, the e seems
to have been some missionary
activity on the part of Jews.
According to Josephus, many

I've got weakness for a pa

before the angry face of the mob
Wednesday.
Leaving Hall high, where int

segregationists We're TO hold a

The martial air of the brass
band, the marchers with their

der the burden of their crudely
lettered signs, was too much of
a lure. I stopped.
