JEWISH BOOK CORNER
Wouk's Insight Into Faith

with Ben Gurion. Ben Gurion told
Wouk: "You Jews in the United
States are different from any Jew
ish community that has ever
existed You are not strangers, and
no more strangers than anyone
else in your land America con-
sists of immigrants. You belong
like the rest and you will prosper,
but how will you survive as Jews?"
Wouk responded: eve will sur
vive by religion"
Yes, Wouk knows that the Jew
will survive by religion in Ameri-
ca because In America Judaism
can fulfill itself through religious
practices, but he knows well that
the kind of Orthodoxy that is pres
ent in Israel will not attract the
younger generations to the practice
of the Jewish faith.
THE DANGER THAT Jews in
Israel could be Jewish without a
religion is truly great. Reform
Conservative, and Orthodox each
have their place and each have a
specific function to perform. 1t is
not necessary for one group to dis
credit another, but it is far more
important for Wouk to give to
every group in Judaism an under
standing that we face far greater
problems together: the survival of
our children ana our children'S
children for Jewish homes, for
Torah, and for the Jewish way
of life.
His book gives us an understand
ing that in this day and age we
cannot become as he wanted to be-
come early in his life Noel Aiv-
man, one of his characters in
Marjorie Morningstar," W o
wanted nothing but success, and
everything else was irrelevant as
far as knowledge, understanding,
and faith was concerned. 1t was
this which finally brought him back
to realize that being a Jew is not
something trivial or accidental,
but it can be the best thing in life
if one makes it live in his heart.
Yes, each of us needs faith
and each of us needs the God of
our Fathers Our purpose is to find
it together, to search for it, to I'M
derstand it, and then to proclaim
it with all our hearts.

/ BORN IN New York City, the
son of immigrant parents, he be-
came the editor of a college humor
magazine. From there he advanced
to script writing, working for Fred
Allen for five years and other
various radio figures. 1t was dur
ing this period that Herman Wouk
more or less left his faith to a
certain degree. He became an
agnostic, and felt that religion had
no meaning for him.
With this eStrangement came a
great period of Illustration, and
with marriage that was happy for
short time there came terrible
tragedy in his life. The loss of a
child brought him great and deep
grief. He found his way out by
returning to his Orthodox Jewish
background. His devoted love to
his grandfather, who was a great
rabbinical scholar, inspired him to
make the Orthodox discipline of
Jewish life the mode of his life.
From that moment he wanted
more than any other thing to write
about his Jewish experience and to
write for what is the first time an
understanding of Judaism, Jewish
customs and all the other factors
which go into the background of
Jewish way of life, and from it
has come a new beSt-seller, '"ThiS
Is My God"
WOUK'S NEW BOOK has a great
interest for all of us who are inter
ested basically in the meaning and
the understanding of Jewish Gus
toms and ceremonies. He wanted
to give Jew and Christian reader
something of the background of the
fundamentals of the Jewish relig-
ion as he personally practises it.
He wanted to show what is the
way of life that for him has been
an outgrowth of a new faith for the
future. Here he has revealed some
thing of his life for Jewish custom,
and above all, Jewish tradition.
He presents Judaism in manner
that is a highly readable style.
The book relates primarily the
customs and the practises of
Orthodox Judaism. For those of us
who are acquainted with these
practises, it is merely a recital
once more of those rituals which
we have known in the past, and
sought further Qualification.
There can be no question as to
those things which are important
for the observances of Jewish. life
itself. He cannot in any form ac-
cept any other practise in Judaism
than that which has been sanctified
by Orthodoxy itself. For this I
have great admiration for Wouk.
1t offers great aid and comfort to
those who have found in the
dogmas of the past, the need upon
which to build Tor the future.
HERMAN WOUK presents a very
interesting story of his encounter

LONDON (JTA) - Premier kaS-
