special series on
the Jew and the
Civil War.
In all of these synagOgues,

In all of these synagOgues,
and in countless others, the
gay Passover atmosphere
had abruptly changed to
mourning. Black drapes were
hung. Traditional Passover
liturgy was set aside. Yom
Kippur prayers were chanted
instead. El Molel Rachmim
was heard in all Jewish
houses of prayer.
Jews, like all of their fel-
loW-Americans throughout
the land, had suffered be-
cause of the war. That year
of 1865, special moas chittim
campaigns had been conduct
ed by Jewish communities to
obtain Passover foods for the
destitute and for prisoners of
war still languishing in
camps. The once-proud and
wealthy Jewish communities
in the South-in Richmond,
Savannah, other centers-had
been reduced to begging for
help from their brethren, and
the Jews of the North, East
and West were not slow to
come forth with aid. 'We
have entirely lost the means
of baking for the ensuing
Passover" stated the appeal
from Savannah.
During the war, no matter

where they were, in the Un-
ion Army or in the Confed-
eracy, Jewish soldiers OBJ
served Passover. A report on
one such observance, signifi-
cant because of it's essential
Jewish character, and at
times hilariously funny, has
been reproduced by the great
Jewish historian, DR.. Ber-
tram Wallace Korn, in his
book American Jewry and
the Civil War" 1t tells, in the
words of one of the partici-
pants, how 81 Jewish mem
bers of the 23rd Ohio Volun-
teer Regiment celebrated
Passover in the woods out
side their encampment at
Fayett, w. Va.
The Jewish soldiers from
the Ohio regiment had man.
aged to obtain not only mat
10th but also haggadahs.
They also got their command
er's permission to celebrate
Passover. They got, some
how, a paschal lamb-prob-
ably liberated" it from some
nearby farm, as soldiers
sometimes are wont to do.
For haroset, they used a
brick-they did not try to eat
it, just looked at it as a SYM
boil. In a field, they found
an herb which would do for
morrer. For wine, they used
hard cider. When they bit in
to the bitter herb - which,
they discovered, tasted "fiery
like Cayenne pepper"-it had
to be washed down by cider.
'We forgot the law that au-
thorized us to drink only four
cups" said the contemporary
writer of that report. A few
The Arizona post., 1961-03-31

of the soldiers decided to re-
enact the Passover story. One
became Pharoah, and a
couple of others took the
roles of Moses and Aaron.
The impersonators 'had to be
CARED to the camp, and there
left in the arms of Nor
pheus," reported the narrator.
One lone Union soldier, a
Jew named Myer Levy, of
Philadelphia, found himself
one Passover in a Virginia
town captured from the Con-
federacy. Walking down a
street in that town, he saw a
little boy on the steps of a
house, eating matzoh. When
he asked the child for a piece,
the boy ran into the house
yelling: Mother, there's a
damyankee Jew outside. "
Myer Levy was invited to a
Passover dinner.
AS it happened frequently
throughout history, when the
Jew has found himself blam-
ed for everything evil, the
American Jew did not escape
attack for the death of Lin
coin. Within two weeks after
Lincoln's murder, a pamph-
let appeared, entitled Life,
Crime and Capture of J. w.
Booth"
The writer of that piece of
hack-Work had the audacity
to invent a canard of his
own: Booth, he claimed, was
of Jewish origin! According
to that sensationalist Jour
nalist," he had been told that

The date was April Is, 1865.
It was the fifth day of Pass
over. It was also the day
President Lincoln had pro-
claimed as Union Victory
Day. Throughout the country
in synagogues, temples and
Christian churcheS-Ameri-
cans had begun the evening
before to flock to their re-
Spective houses of worship to
mark the fact that Lee had
surrendered, the Civil War
was over, the Union had been
saved.
In Cincinnati, the venera-
BILE Rabbi Max Lilienthal
mounted the bimah. At just
about the same hour, SER
vices were begun at Temple
Emanuel in New York, and
at Congregation Beth Elem
eth in Philadelphia. At just
about the same hour, word
of a catastrophe had reached
all three synagogues. The
preceding night, John Wilkes
Booth had shot Abraham Lin
coin. Now the Great Emanci-
pator was dead.
Rabbi LiIienthal told his
congregation-citing David's
lament over Abner: Indeed
a great man has fallen in Is
rael."
At Emanuel, Rabbi Sam
uel Adler began a special ser
mon, broke down and Wept.
In Philadelphia, Isaac Lee
ser, the great hazan, educator
and orator, had been request
ed to deliver a special eulogy.
Never before had Lesser been
known to lack for words.
This time, he stood before his
congregation, gulped, wiped
away some tears, said chok-
ingly: "My thoughts refuse
to arrange themselves in
their usual order" Sobbing,
he sat down.
Virtually the same scene
was re-enacted in synagogues
and temples throughout the
East, West and North. The
Daily Alta Californian would
tell what happened at San
Francisco, where the news
did not arrive until the next
day. Rabbi Elkan Cohn was
just opening his sermon-in-
tended to draw the logical
parallel between the Jewish
Festival of Liberation and
the Unions celebration of vic
tory-when a member of the
congregation told him of Lin
coins death. He burst into
tears, told the congregation,
and did not deliver his pre-
pared sermon.
