Moses And The Original Toroh' Presents
Fresh, New Approach TO Immortal Truths

found truths that only by the moral
teachings can man approach His
maker and never can he try to
whitewaSh his conscience by max
ing sacrifices that have no mean
ing because they are empty of
spiritual ideals.
IN OTHER religions of the time
the most important part was the
priesthood, the sanctuary and the
sacrifices. In a time of Moses
revolution there came a new en-
phaSis = bold and challenging -
which asked man to put away other
gods and to approach the true God
out of the depth of his conscience.
The Torah of Moses rejected the
burning of children for sacrifices,
witchcraft and sorcery and obseS-
sion with death and the under
world. 1t sought to make this life
meaningful and to give it an ethi-
cal ideal.
Silver holds that the original
TOrah was composed of three
basic documents. They are three
codes of law: the Book of the
Covenant, the sO-called holiness
code and the DeuterOnOmic code.
They are all found in the books
of the TOrah and they are, in
DIR. Silver's mind, the basic es-
sentials of the Code of Laws.
Within all of these codes there
are two foundations. First is h e
unity of God and second is the pro-
hibition of images. There is in this
teaching no mention of human de-
pravity or of the need for atone
ment, redemption or salvation
There is no peSsimistic dwelling on
the sorrows and despairs of this
world, nor is there any escape OF
any kind from this world. There

ing place called the synagogue
where God was worshipped with
out the sacrifices and without the
priesthood. Here religion was a
matter exclusively of prayer and
the study of the law. Here the
layman and the rabbi met for
ethical and spiritual instruction.
There is nothing like it in all the
history of religion.
DR.. Silver gives in his conclud-
ing chapter a kind of challenge
that the pure faith of Moses has
never been fully, triumphantly full
fill e d in any generation. There
have been many major spiritual
battles but no final victory.
THE SALVATION of the world
lies in its moral redemption. The
ethical morality which was taught
there will never cease until man.
kind will learn to live in dignity
with one another, to create a world
of harmony and justice. Thus, the
original Torah of Moses will never
lose its sparkle or its greatness
of appeal.
1t will always be the eternal
challenge that this generation eth
er will morally redeem itself
through justice and the great moral
teachings of the Torah or will pull
verize itself into the suicide of
ashes.
For the Jew the great hope, the
great gift has been given unto
you; forSake it not.

"MoseS and the Original Torah,
study which tries to go into the
heart of the meaning of the origi-
nal Torah as it was brought forth
by Moses. Here is a new, fresh ap-
proach to the immortal truths of
the Torah as Moses gave them to
his people.
DR.. Silver presents Moses as the
founder of ethical monotheism and
shows how Moses tried to bring
new concept of justice, compass
sion and human dignity which
would elevate the spirit of man.
kind. Moses was the first teacher
who rejected the attributes of
dreadful, vengeful God which was
taught in Egypt and in other COM
munitieS which surrounded h
Israelites; Moses taught his people
to think of God as the only Su-
preme Being of the universe, as
being that was compassionate, the
loving, and the forgiving.
For Moses, God was a shepherd
to His people, and there was a
growing relationship of compass
sionate understanding of one hui
man being to another as they
thought of the common Father
which they had Who guided and
directed their destiny.
Moses set the pace for prOphe-
cy. AS DIR. Silver points out, the
prophets who followed him re-
iterated the great beliefs of a
great tradition he handed down
to them. Amos, Jeremiah, and
Isaiah all followed in his foot
steps to make the people remem-
Der that the original TOrah of
Moses was founded on high
ethical tradition.
The Torah which Moses gave
originally made no mention about
sacrifices, since the most import
ant part of the instruction of that
Torah was that men should exc
cute justice towards one another,
that they should never oppress the
stranger or the orphan or the
widow or shed innocent blood or
worship other gods.
All of this goes to prove, says
our author, that the original Torah
was mainly great moral and ethi-
cal document. In it were the pro-

was becoming a health refuge, ana
penniless Jews came along with
penniless non-Jews. For awhile the
problem was met eXtemporaneous-
" A downtown businessman would
collect a few dollars from his
friends to get cabin or a tent on
the desert for some impecunious
tubercular.
Jewish leaders persuaded the
railroads to sell half-fare tickets so
mendicant health-seekerS might re-
turn home if they wished. But
many of them refused. They pre-
ferred to stay, and, if necessary, to
die here.
This, as much as anything, led
to the formation of the first of
PhOenix'S many Jewish Organiza-
tiOns-B'nai Birth. 1t was about
1915, and Marks was its first
president. The local members of
the lodge, feeling that the health
problem was q national Jewish
problem, since people were COM
ing from everywhere, obtained a
$1,000 ALLEGATION from their par
ent organization. The money was
used to care for the cOmmunity's
Jewish indigents. This was the
first such national ALLEGATION ever
made to a single community.
Soon afterward Phoenix saw the
birth of its first Jewish congrega-
ton. Called Congregation Imman-
uel, it was neither reform, conserv-
ative nor orthodox but a little of
all three. 1t was never able to
finance a synagogue, but it brought
in the city'S first rabbi, Rabbi Dav-
id L. Liknaitz, from California.
In 1917 the Phoenix section of
the National Council of Jewish
Women was organized. Mrs. Selim
Nicholson beca me its first presi-
dent.
AND 1T WAS these two organ
iZations-B'nai Birth and the Coun-
Gil of Jewish Women-which raised
much of the money in 1920 to build
the city'S first synagogue.
At the outset it was operated un-
der the auspices of the Phoenix
Hebrew Center Association. Then
it become Temple Beth Israel.
Eventually it was Supplanted with
the more elaborate temple which
now stands at 10th Avenue and
Flower.
The trend of the temple in the
direction of Reform Judaism
prompted a group to break away
and organize the conservative
Congregation Beth Ell. A Protest
ant church at 4th Street and Fill
more was converted to a syna-
gOgue, and this, in time, gave
way to the larger synagogue at
3rd Avenue and Mcdowell Road.
To these two original synagogues
have been added others in recent
years.

Jewish life in Phoenix was, in the
beginning, a catch-as-catch-can af-
fair. Men and women fulfilled their
Jewish obligations not because it
was easy but because they felt a
powerful compulsion, even in a
primitive town.
High Holy Day services and i'm
promptu Sunday school classes
would be held over the Melczer
liquor store on West Adams, or
over the Donofrio store on WASH
ington, conducted by whichever of
them could read the words and
understand them.
THE HOLIDAY services often
were conducted by Wolf Lukin, a
Tempe grocer who had been
schooled in the rabbinate before he
left Europe in 1890. If a "minyan"
was needed, Harry Friedman would
leave his Saddle-and-loan store and
summon nine others from their
work, and the "minyan" would be
held.
Occasionally Friedman would
officiate at a marriage or fu-
neral, for he knew the ritual, and
Jewish law permits of this in the
absence of a rabbi.
The role of giving its first form
and substance to the infant Jewish
community fell, shortly after the
, turn of the century, to Barnett
Marks, then a young lawyer newly
come from Chicago.
Having two boys of his own,
Marks helped to organize a Sunday
school. And because the Hebrew
ritual was a mystifying thing to
many of the new generation, he
sent off for a collection of rabbis'
sermons in English and read them
at services.
THE PROBLEM of social well
fare soon confronted the young
community, for Phoenix, even then,
