The proposed appointment Of
DR.. Benjamin F. Mays to the Civil

judged on its merits and not on

Atlanta for 80 years. His loyalty
and his integrity are known by
this community.
What he believes in the field of
civil rights Is known beyond ques-

Kennedy On Indignation
This is no time for schools to
be closed for any reason, and GER
tainly no time for schools to be
closed in the name of racial dis
elimination.
This is from a message that
President Kennedy sent, on his own
volition, to the civil rights COM
missions third annual conference
on schools in transition, held in
Williamsburg, Va.
The president has promised to
use the moral leadership of the
White House to encourage deseg-
regation and an end to racial dis
elimination. His message, sent into
the south, Is a start in carrying
out this promise. 1t leaves no
doubt where the president stands

Eichmann Echoes

With the Eichmann trial over, the American public
is now realizing that Israel has given Eichmann falr
trial and that Israel the proper place for the trial
This has been established by study OF the American
Jewish Committee Last May, month after the trlal

poll thought that Echmann getting fair trial ana
81 per cent had opinion The percentage OF those VINO
believe he received fair trial greater now and IN
cludes even Americans who originally opposed TO
the trial being held in Jerusalem.
The AJC report indicates that better educated
Americans were favor of Israes undertaking the
trial than were the less educated The educated n
Jews had preferred trial by an international court
However since the opening of the trial these Americans
became aware of the fact that international tribunal
exists and because of the cold war, none could o.

They also up the fact that there no Germany
but rather two Germanes and that the trial could not
properly be held in either segment OF Germany
But what is more important-watching the Elchmann

JEWISH BOOK CORNER
Scholar Examines Religion
In Liuh+ Of Modern Needs
sY HENRY LEONARD

in small village to the strain of
the village fiddlers. There comes a
totally deaf stranger accidentally
upon the scene and he looks about
him, since no strains of m u C
reach his ears. He sees the strange
behaviour of the guests, dancing
and jumping about. He comes to
the conclusion that all the villagers
have gone mad.
HERE is A striking analogy OF
life: for there are some people
who are troubled by the problems
that religion poses and therefore
have their minds and hearts open.
And then there are those who are
deaf, deaf to the joy of life = deaf
to understanding and meaning.
There has been a tremendous up
surge in religion, and few people
can understand why. The first and
foremost reason is that people are
seeking what DR.. Cords calls pSy-
Geological security. There is a
need, deep, satisfying need, for a
philosophy of life which will give
one a greater understanding of the
world in which he lives. In t h S
world of specialization when each
person knows one particular field
very technically, the tragedy is
that he is not able to relate this
field to his view towards the whole
world.
This is the need of our times
to allow man to see beyond just
where he works and what he
does. Everyone needs in life to be
religious, to see something far
deeper, far greater. far more
beautiful than just what he sees
each day.
With all the good that religion
has brought to mankind, DR.. Cords
is not unmindful that religion has
also had its sins too. Religion has
in many instances by fanaticism
and by bigotry perpetrated crimes
and misdeedS which have unfortu-
nately caused tremendous harm.
Religion has been used to bless war
and foster evil but it is also
true, our author reminds us, that
the roots of modern war are ma
tionalistic and economic.
THE GREAT problem of religion
is that as a political power religion
can be a menace to society, but as
spiritual influence 1t can be an
unique and inspiring force for the
elevation of mankind. DIR. Cords
holds that we must all of us in our
religious faith try to preserve those
factors in religion which will give
1t strength and meaning.

munity, and was a Well-attended,

All honor to the Detroit Jewish
Center for giving its community

AN IMPORTANT anniversary
was celebrated in the newspaper
world last month. The London Jew
ish Chronicle, oldest English-Jew-
ish publication in the world, reach
ed it's 12Oth birthday.
120 years - period of special
significance in Jewish tradition =
represent a remarkable milestone
for any periodical. The L d n
Jewish Chronicle has in this time
not only recorded, but often had a
hand in the shaping of, many his
toric events.
It played a part in the removal
of Jewish disabilities in England.
1t gave Theodor Herzl forum for
ZioniSm in the British world.
When later the BalfOur Decla-
ration - which was the first pO-
litical step in the march toward
Jewish statehood - was about to
be issued, we are told that its re-
lease was timed in such a, way
that it would coincide with the
publication date of the London
Jewish Chronicle on Friday,
Nov. 2, 1917.
What tribute to the Importance
of newspaper! What a gesture
of recognition to respected organ
of British Jewryi
1t makes one wish for an equal
receptiveness on the part of the
American Jewish public. And,
along with this, one hopes for the

away Park for a quarter century.
He writes because he not only has
something to say, but what he has
to say is something that all of us
can learn from and appreciate and
understand.
DR.. Cords has written m a n y
books dealing with many different
themes, but he wrote ga Faith For
ModernS" because he saw the need
for modern religious people to find
a means to understanding their
problems.
IN THE BEGINNING of h is
book, he warns us that this book is
not meant for the person who is un-
troubled in his beliefs and who
takes everything he has b n
taught for granted without ques-
tioning. This kind of person will not
be interested in his book because
it is provocative and stimulating.
The living Jew is the thinking
Jew for DR.. Cords, and his book
is evidence of that kind of ap-
proach. Also, he warns that those
who are hostile to religion will find
no comfort.
For whom, then, is the book
written? 1t is intended for those
people who are perplexed by GER
tain problems which trouble
many of us today. The problems
of faith and reason, of religion
and science, and of the ancient
to the modern.
Our author takes the stand that
il you are religious you should
know why you are religious and If
you have no philosophy of life, you
should know why you don't have a
philosophy of life.
DR.. Cords quotes a story OF
Israel Bal Shem Tov in which a

THERE ARE MANY such guide
posts from our past, and am
grateful to those who bring them
to mind.
DR.. Louis FinkelStein. chancellor
of the Jewish Theological Semi
nary, recently spoke of the prop
hets' approach to the problems of
world in crisis:
For Amos, Isaiah and Jere-
miah, the question was not. will
we survivor, but DO we deserve
to survive?
The prophets would have been
more worried about our souls thaA
about our bodies. Even faced with
the possibility of thermonuclear
war, they would have been m
frightened at the thought of COM
mitting murder than at the thought
of being murdered"
DR.. Finkelstein's words take us
back to the very essence of Juda-
ism. They lift us out of our indif-
ference and thoughtlessness an5
amorality to the plane on which

inspiring and dramatic, and sober

reading and needing.
THE PLANTING of trees is an
affirmation.
Many forests have been planted
in Israel which needs trees for
its soil as well as for the beauty
of its landscape = in honor or in
memory of loved ones. This tribute
is meaningful, because it implies
faith in the future, and firm, ar
dent dedication to life and growth.
1t is a gift of love in every sense
of the word.
Therefore it is good to report
that a forest is being planted in
Israel in honor of DIR. Heinrich
Grub er, the Protestant bishop
who recently testified for the
prosecution in the trial of Adolf
Eichmann.
The plan for the forest was prof
ected by a group of non-Jewish vic
Tins of NaZi prosecutions, in ap-
preciation of DR.. Gruber's help in
saving thousands of lives during
Hitler'S totalitarian nightmare.
And so, for each who lives - in
spite of the Nazis, who negated life
there will be a tee growing
straight and tall, symbolizing belief
in life and in the worth of the hui
man being.
Because of this belief, mankind
still survives.

The Phoenix Jewish news., 1961-12-22

Our author defines religion as
mans sense of his relationship to
the world and the forms, both in
dividual and collective for express
ing this relationship. The implica-
ton of this definition is very clear.
It's formulation embraces all forms
of religious expression and recog-
nizeS that religion is primarily a
group experience in which both the
individual tries to find system OF
beliefs, rituals and ceremonialS
which give him an attachment to
this world.
There is a story in the Talmud
that Roman matrOn once asked
the sage Rabbi Joshua how the
Almighty occupied himself after
completing His creation. Th e
sage answered, "He is busy ar
ranging marriages between men
and women"
Today Robert Cords would an
swer the question of the R o m a n
lady by saying that God is occupied
with the creation of the universe,
which is a never-ending process.
There is no contradiction, then,
from the opening chapter of Gene
sis which tells of God as the Gre
ator of a living universe, for all re-
ligious believers see the world not
as a dry, inorganic rock but as
alive, being the growth and devel-
opment and revelation of a Living
God.
This faith in a living God that
must continue and become part and
parcel of our world is the only way
70 understand the truth that o u r
0ronhetS and teachers have given.
Dr. Cords quotes the famous poet,
Robert Browning. as truly express
ing the Jewish faith when he had
Rabbi Ben Ezra say. Grow old
along with me, the best is yet to be,
tie last of life, for which the first
was made"
Our author closes his book with
great challenge to his readers. 1t
is the challenge that man has
learned much about the world but
the ultimate still remains mys-
terry which could only stimulate to
study more, to learn more and to
grow more in the process.
How is the God of fathers made
known to us? Our author finds it in
what he considers 1t the finest defi-
milton for mankind, and it lies in
the words of the prophet, Micah:
ut hath been told thee, 0 man,
what is good, and what the Lord
doth require of thee: Only to do
Justice, to love mercy, and to walk
humbly with God"
