Capital Spotlight:
BY MILTON FRIEDMAN

WASHINGTON - Does the American
teen-ager feel that being Jewish is han
dicap or a source of inspiration and self
esteem?
If one can find the answer in the can
did expressions of hundreds of young
people at a recent B'nai Birth youth con-
ference held at Norfolk, Va, a forecast
of emerging American Jewish attitudes
might be formulated.
Participants included the A.Z.A boys
and B'nai Birth girls. They were mainly
high school juniors and seniors from Vir-
ginia, Maryland and the District of Co.
lumbia Many attend schools now being
integrated. They are the first Jewish boys
and girls to grope with the problem of
forming personal friendships with Ne
groes and backing Negro rights in an en-
Vironment where Jews receive only linn
tied acceptance. They are also on the
firing line of the school prayer contro-
VerSy
During the convention, "A revealing eX-
change was overheard in the hotel lobby.
nOn-JeW, in a spirit of goodwill, noted
the mass of bright-eyed youngsters and
asked what was going on at the hotel. The
boy who responded said it was conven-
ton of "the AZA and BBG" The inquirer
said he never heard of those groups. Were
they fraternities or something? Instead
of explaining that they were Jewish youth
groups, the embarrassed teenager mum
bled an apology and dashed off.
The incident was later brought up for
discussion before the convention. 1t was
clear that some young people considered
it embarrassing to identify oneself as
Jew Many Others however, felt the in
quirer was probably a Well-intentioned
gentleman displaying normal curiosity
They would have explained the Jewish
nature Of the groups in a matter of fact
manner.

Great Span Of The Forward

not only to help the Jewish newcomers
to "Americanize" themselves, but also to
fight for better conditions of life for these
newcomers. The battle was not easy, but
gradually the Jewish needle workers
were organized into trade unions, and
with them also the underpaid Jewish
workers in other fields
The second generation of Jews during
the existence of the Forward were not
readers of that paper. In fact, they were
not readers of anything printed in Jewish.
This is not because they did not know
Jewish, but because they were ashamed
of being Jews. At home they had no
choice but to speak Yiddish with their
parents-their parents knew no English
but outside of the house they did every
thing they could to hide their JeWiShneSs.
Men changed their names to non-JeWish
sounding names; girls working as typlsts
and secretaries in offices made it a point
to wear little crosses around their necks
in order not to be taken for Jews. For
them JeWishness was synonymous with
poverty and with poor English They
looked down on their parents because the
parents were poor and also because they
spoke crippled English. A girl, when she
met a boy, was ashamed to bring him
home because she did not want him to
see how her parents lived.
A boy sought the first opportunity to
become independent so that he could
leave his parents home This second gen
Grafton, with "AmericaniZed" names, was
no longer a generation of sWeat-shop
workers. 1t was a generation which went
into craftsmanship, into business, into
working during the day and studying at
night to become a doctor, a lawyer, an
engineer, a dentist
Life has its own way, and no matter
how the parents of the '1ost generation"
attempted to keep their children from
JeWiShness these children the third
generation of American Jews during the
existence of the ForWard-have by them
selves become conscious of their Jewish
ness and even interested in it,
Thus, the 65th year of the existence
of the Forward completes the circle of
three generations of Jewish life in this
country. What the grandparents started
and the parents rejected is now being
picked up by the grandchildren.

The Jewish Daily Forward largest
Yiddish daily newspaper in the world,
which is now celebrating its 65th year of
existence, has served three generations
of Jews in this country.
The first generation was that of i'm
migrant Jews who came here mostly
from Eastern Europe, and worked very
hard as sWeat-shop workers and small
pedlers to exc out a meager livelihood.
The second generation were the children
of these immigrants, most Of whom de-
spised the atmosphere in which their par
ents lived and ran away from things
jewish The third generation is the Ameri-
can-born Jewish youth of today, which Is
culturally assimilated, strongly American
lied. but which is not ashamed of being
Jewish and is even trying to learn what
JeWishness means
Looking backward to the years when
the Forward was established, one won
ders how thousands and thousands of
Jews could endure the life they lived at
that time. They were working long hours
in sweatshops without light, without
fresh air. with no decent pay, returning
home late in the evening after hard
working day to dark and crowded rooms
in slum gas-lit tenement houses, many of
them without toilets, most of them with
out baths, all of them decorated with
dirty linen from the windows to dry after
washing.
For them, life in the congested Lower
East Broadway in New York was what
life is today in the poorest Negro or Puer-
to Rican sections of the city. An eight
hour working day was for them dream,
since most of them worked II hours
day; a six-day working week was never
thought of; paid vacations were non-eX-
iStent; when one failed to report to work
because of sickness, the missed day was
deducted from his wages.
1t was a life of slavery, with each ship
from Europe bringing more and more
slaves into the market, more Jews who
did not know a word of English more
victims of the CZarist regime in Russia,
who sought freedom and economic saliva
ton in the new world. In those years the
Forward was born in New York, estab-
lished by people like Abraham Cahan, its
editor, and others who were determined

the problem of acquiring the
language and suggested that
l might teach her Hebrew.
Since many have the same
problem, l tn Oug h t they
might be interested in my
reply:
Dear Sister,
There are many ways of
learning Hebrew. What little
Hebrew l acquired was by
the ear-pulling method. In
the cheder, when the pupil
didn't know the meaning of
a Hebrew word, the teacher
pulled his ear. This served
to make him remember it
the next time. But in general
this mode of instruction has
been abandoned, although
there is much to be said in
favor of it, if your ears can
stand it.
l am flattered by your
saying that 1 could teach you
Hebrew. l think l need a
good deal of learning it my
self. But the fact that one
doesn't know anything very
well should not deter him
from teaching it. In fact, in
spired by your letter, have
prepared a little course to
be called: How to Learn to
Speak Hebrew in Ten Min
uteS."
The hardest part of the
course comes first. 1t will re-
quire you to learn two SEN
tenceS verbatim. There is no
easy way about this; but
once you have m a S t e r e d
these two sentences, you are
well on the way.
The first sentence is: Mez-
eg Ha-AVir ya-fe. 1t means:
We're having nice weather.
AS you will readily see,
that will take care of large
part of your conversation in
Israel.
The second sentence con
sists Of only two words: Ha-
nof ya-fe. This means: "the
scenery is beautiful"
Any Israeli hearing you
say these words will not only
admire your knowledge of
Hebrew, but will also admire
your high intelligence and
perceptivity. The second SEN
tence will remove all doubts
about that.
These two sentences take
care of Sc per cent of your
Hebrew conversation prob
lem, but there are a few basic
words in addition that you
should know. First, Shalom.
You can cover a lot of mile
age with that. 1t means Hell
10, GoOdby, how is tricks, also
Peace and Tranquility. Then
there is bevakasha, meaning
please. Don't you think it is
a delightful word? 1 could
dri n k bevakashas all day
long. And then again, there
is TOda Rabba, m aiming
thanks a million. These three
words take care of another
25 per cent of your conver-
sation.
My system does not cover
numbers, since you will learn
all about figures when the
hotel gives you your bill.
Let me say a word or two
about grammar. In Hebrew,
they are very poetical. You
don't say, you are beautiful.
You just say, You Beautiful.
They leave out most of the
"iS" and the "are." It's much
more poetical and it saves.
the Israelis a lot of time
which they can use planting
more oranges.
Also in Hebrew, the "my's"
and the hiss" are left out.
