his book, "Why 1 Am A Jew"
NATURALLY our author begins
his book with what would seem to
be a simple answer: that we are
Jews simply because our parents
were Jews and so we follow in the
tradition of our parents. But he
asks a question, Does the accident
of b irt h make the determining
factor? Does it not involve some
thing more than birth. The question
goes far deeper. To be a Jew
one must will his thinking
in terms of his Jewishness. He
places himself in line of a great

great drama that has never ceased
to play a major role in the history
of civilization. Though the numbers

JEWISH BOOK CORNER
'WhyIAm A Jew Anulyzed

The Jew lives by history, b
always before him is the conscious
ness of the purpose he plays IN
life. Furthermore, the Jew is chal-
lenged by the purpose he must play
in the future.
The Jew is more than Buddhist
or a Christian or a Moslem. Inc
Jew is also a cultural identity, an
Identify made of language, htera-
ture, music poetry a wnole
host of things which unfold for him.
THOUGH THE Jew is conscious
of his past, he looks not backward
but forward. Our author notes that
Oris, the famous Roman poet, as
I serted that while the age OF his
past was worse than of his fore
bearers, he in turn produced a gen
GRAFTON that was really much more
worthless than they were. He IS
the ultimate in pessimism, and
what a sharp contrast it is to the
Jews optimism. We were peo-
I pie that were always conscious OF
our faults. No one in the Torah is
presented as a saint. Not even
Moses. Our people were realistic to
know that every man has his faults
as well as his strengths.
Judaism was despaIrlng of any
problem, because it looked for
ward to golden age. We never
permitted ourselves to indulge In
comforting slaves and poverty with
the hope that there would be bet
ter life in the future. We never
permitted or allowed ourselves to
tolerate the evil in our midst. Our
purpose was not to flee from evil,
but to face it - honestly, openly
and courageouSly.
THIS is AN age of comfort and
relaxation, in which man expects
much and does little. In this CEN
tury it is still grave difficulty to
be Jew and to remain a Jew, for
to De a Jew means to be member
of a people who have consciously
and willingly chosen the Ten Com
mandments.
It demands of us sacrifices, not
only to be conscious of our past but
to be able to have a will to sur
vive amidst an antagoniStic ma
iority. But a Jew who knows why
he is one and why he wishes to
remain one stands out as the con-
scious fulfillment of a people who
join with Moses as they crossed the
Red Sea with triumph and stood
with honor and dignity at Sinai
when he received for mankind the
law of justice, morality and truth.
There is purpose, a God-g1ven
one in remaining true to this great
tradition, for we are part of that
drama that is continuous. T h e
past is our heritage, the present
our responsibility, and the future
our challenge as Jews.
In the age of uncertainty when
men are ready with stockpiles to
destroy each other and all living
things, when fear and superstition
enslave the minds and m a n y
idolatries blind us, the Jews mis-
sion has never ceased, nor will it
ever cease until the great goal of
mans human brotherhood has been
achieved.
WE ARE NOT compelled to fin
ish the work, but as our Sages have
told us, neither can we desiSt the
responsibility to DO our Job. my
spirit which is upon you, and My
words which I have put in your
mouth shall not depart from your
children or from your children S
