AS to the barrel of cider, 1
suppose, Ben-Zvi can dispense
with that. He just needs a
little wine for kiddush. Ac-
cording to reports, he has
been known to call in a sol
dier guarding his house to
make kiddush. His simplicity
is the theme of many stories.
He likes to polish his own
shoes and when he is in a
bus, when someone gets up
to give him a seat, he ex-
plains that he is not so old,
he can't stand a little. 1 don't
know whether he washes his
underwear as President Tru-
man is said to have done in
the White House, according
to the recent revelations of
the White House housekeep-
er, but l shouldn't be surpris-
ed if he does sometimes wash
his gadkes. After all, Ben

THE ISRAEL Government
crisis has brought into great
er focus the role of President
Ben-ZVi. A friend talking
about it, remarked that the
United States once had a
President named Ben-Zvi.
He figured it this way. Xvi
is usually translated as
TIirsch or Harris and Ben is
son. Put them together and
you have Harrison. There
were two HarriSons who
were President of the U. S.,
VIM. Henry and Benjamin.
The first Harrison was in
the forties before the Civil
War. The Log Cabin Presi-
dent. 1t was said, give Harri-
son a log cabin and barrel
of cider and he would be hap
py. In the Whig parades, they
always featured log cabins.
Mr.. Ben-Ziv of Israel, I am
sure, could get along in a log
cabin too. He lives in a very
simple house in Jerusalem.
I understand they wanted to
build a more magnificent
home for the Israel Presi-
dent but Ben wi wouldn't
permit it.

The American Jew and The Civil War
Robbis BottIed For Abolition

While, in New York, the question of
slavery could still be discussed in relative
calm, there was nothing academic about
the issue in Baltimore. There, secession
ism was so widespread that Lincoln would
not dare pass through the city on his way
to the Inauguration. Rabbi Einhorn had
declared himself in favor of abolition as
far back as 1856. He would not retreat
in the face of public attitude, or in the
face of a pronouncement like Rabbi Rap
halls.
Einhorn's blasts for abolition appeared
as Confederate sentiment had reached one
of it's hottest points in Baltimore. For
four days. there was rioting in the streets.
Homes were burned; abolitionists were
beaten, some were killed. Mobs attacked
several printing plants where abolitionist
literature had been produced; among
these plants was the one in which Rabbi
Einhorn's Sinai was being published. Rab-
At first he refused-even after he was
shown a list of abolitionists slated to be
wiped out, including his name. Young
members of his congregation-man of
them violently opposed to their rabbits
announcements - formed themselves,
nevertheless into guard to protect their
rabbi and his family. Finally to protect
h; fo,o IT,,
Einhorn intended to return to Balti-
more. But on May 49, the board of trus-
tees of his congregation adopted reso-
luton advising their rabbi: "It would be
very desirable, for your own safety as
we'll as out of consideration for the mem
bers of your congregational, in the flu
ture, there would be no comment in the
pulpit on the excitable issues of our
time"
EinhOrn was safely in Philadelphia by
the time his boards edict reached him.
Contemptuously, he rejected the orders of
his Baltimore "baale-baatim" In an issue
of Sinai now printed in Philadelphia, he
wrote
According to the view of the congre-
cation, 1, as their minister, had to choose
between doing injury to the truth and
capitulating to the security of the mem
bers 1 did not hesitate to choose third
course: the immediate relinquishing of a
post carrying lifelong tenure"
Einhorn quit his Baltimore post. Con
gregation KneSSet Israel of Philadelphia
elected him as its rabbi. In Philadelphia,
he continued issuing Sinai, continued
preaching from the pulpit and in his
pages against slavery. But 18 months la
ter, he had to stop publishing his news
paper; the financial burden was just too
heavy for him to carry. In his final issue,
he stated: Sinai dies in the battle of
slavery"

Ben-Zvi was right. A Jew
always has an alternative. If
he can't do anything else, at
least, he can get up and sing
Hatikvah, but what was the
Car to do?
Those pioneer Zionists had
compassion for all. One of
the men most closely aSSoci-
ated with Ben-ZVi in the early
days was Ber Borachov. He
died prematurely, still in his
thirties, but he was the great
theoretician of the Labor Ii
oniSt movement and took a
leading part in the organiza-
ton with Ben-ZVi of the La
Dor Zionists.
The legends about Bora
chow are many. One of them
relates to his compassion. AS
Ben-Zvi, despite his opposi-
ton to the Gar, still had
compassion for him, Bora
chow had compassion for the
birds. 1t is told that on one
occasion, he went around all
the stores selling birds in
their cages. He bought them
and then set the birds loose.
He wanted not only Jews but
all creatures to have their
freedom.

THE WORDS and actions of two rabbis
eminent in their communities in 1861 illus
trate the American Jews attitude to the
abolition of slavery. Slavery was the bur-
den besetting the United States. On the
question of perpetuating slavery or It's
abolition hung the fate of the Nation
Jews were heatedly active on both sides
although there were many Jews, too, who
felt that the fence was the safest place.
A pair of Jewish immigrants came to
the forefront One was Rabbi Morris j.
Raphall, spiritual leader of New York's
Congregation B'nai Jeshurun. The other
was Rabbi David Einhorn, leader of Har
Sinai Temple in Baltimore, and publisher
of Jewish newspaper called Sinai New
York was largely favorable to the preser-
walton of the Union and, therefore more
amenable to the cause espoused by the
abolitionists Baltimore, on the other hand
was hotbed of pro-slavery forces.
Quite aside from the merits of the case
in point, it is interesting to note that the
two rabbis cited here, Raphall and Elm
horn, chose in their separate ways to line
up as Independents. New York'S Raphall
was staunchly pro-slavery Baltimore's
Einhorn was courageously against that
peculiar institution"
With an "irrepressible conflict" threat
ening the Union, President Buchanan had
issued proclamation, fixing January A.
1861, as National Fast Day, when all
Americans would gather in their houses
of worship to pray for the preservation
of the Union Rabbi Raphall took up that
challenge, in his own way. He delivered
sermon entitled ''The Bible View of Slav
cry"
Although a leader of the new Reform
movement, Rabbi Raphall became for the
nonce a fundamentalist He attacked
Christian ministers aiming his shafts
specifically at the famous Brooklyn aboli-
ZIONIST preacher, Henry Ward Beecher,
who had denounced slaveholding as "a
sim" Rabbi Raphall Numbered: "Abra-
ham, Isaac, Jacob and Job, the men with
whom the Almighty conversed, were
Shareholders" Those who call slavehold-
ing sin, like Henry Ward Beecher, "are
guilty of something very little short of
blasphemy," insisted Rabbi Raphall.
Many newspapers throughout the coun-
try quoted Rabbi RaphalPs sensational
sermon; indeed, many of the papers,
North and South reprinted the text in
full. Pro-slavery forces issued the address
in pamphlet form. Anti-abolitionsts in
Baltimore, as elsewhere were using the
Raphall endorsement of slaveholding as
something tantamount to Holy text

Total enrolment this fall at

The total College Park en-.

Major reasons for the squirt

For County Readers?

Four employees of Wheaton drug store
will appear in Silver Spring Peoples court
next Monday for a preliminary hearing on
charges of selling '1ewd and indecent" book

Their case is considered by many as an
attempt by Montgomery County to test Mary

recent decision by the Post Office depart
ment that the book is not obscene enough to
be banned from the mails.

manager and the manager of the Drug Fair

P-TA Week

The Montgomery County Council and Board of
Education have joined Gov. j. Willard Tawes in pro-
claiming this week as Parent-Teacher Association
Week.

zens to assist in the P-TA detectives:

uon or children and youth.

The organization grew rapidly in membership and
effectiveness force in public affairs BY 1947 it
numbered 33 units with $4,000 and had one-fourth of
the state P-TA memberships Subsequently growth has
kept pace with rapid postwar expansion of the county
