New York (WNS) — Orthodox, conservative and reform rabbis of this city gathered at the Jewish Theological Seminary t h i s week to offer special prayers in behalf of the beleaguered Jews in war-torn Europe. A special prayer was composed for the occasion

by Rabbi Louis I. Newman.

In a plea for support of t h e United J e w i s h Appeal, Dr. Stephen S. Wise declared that "we of the American Jewry, and We alone, can save our brother .Jews."

"If reports are correct," he said, "half a pound of bread per head has been the weekly food allowance of our brother Jews in Poland. Nearly all of the 1,500,000 Jews in German-occupied Poland need help, or will need help when their savings are exhausted and their property is expropriated by the conquering and ravaging Nazi horde."

Klutznick to Speak At Housing Meeting Philip M. Klutznick, general housing counsel of the Omaha Housing Authority, will speak on "Subsidy Reductions" at the annual convention of the National Association of Housing Authorities to be held in Pittsburgh, May 15 to 17.

He will also act as referee In a discussion on housing problems.

BETTY SOREF TO SPEAK ON PANEL

Workers in the Jewish Philanthropies Campaign have b e e n urged by the general chairman, Morris E. Jacobs, to finish solicitations so that complete results in the drive to raise 9104,500 may be tabulated.

"The present situation in the Scandinavian countries has added considerably to the work borne by the Joint Distribution Commlttee,"Mr. Jacobs stated In making his plea that the community cooperate in bringing the campaign to a successful conclusion. "Heretofore Norway, Sweden and Denmark have been able to provide for assistance of a large number of refugees and under the circumstances the J, D. C. will have to assume this additional burden."

The campaign' opened on April C and will continue until the campaign goal Is reached. Local, national and international institutions will benefit from the drive.

Miss Betty Soret will represent > the Jewish Community Center as a member of a discussion panel consisting of five young persons at 8 p. m. Sunday, May 5, at the Central High auditorium.

characters. Thanks to Ms dynamic approach to literature and Jewish Iffe, he brought into t h e m more light, more air, mere of the wide world.

Until Leibu£ch Yiddish literature nestled ia the lap of folklore. It was afraid of getting &way too far from the simple, primitive life patterns of the traditional past. He established a great gap between folklore Red literature. Yet in reflecting upon the life and aspirations of his people, he recaptured the depth and the breadth of a thousand years of spiritual life.

Ball&ds Like Sir Walter' Scott, Peretz took the rude legends of his nation and immortalized them in bis ballads. His folk-stories, which he labelled "From the Mouth of the People," were full of treasures of legends permeated with magic imagination of the Jewish people, whose marrow had not yet dried up. His early series of portraits and impressions, such as "Songs of the Age," "The Thought and the Violin," "Four P r e c i o u s Stones," "Four G e n e rations • Four Deaths," and others excell in their literary beauty and in their poetic conception.

And in his series of "Stories of Hassldim," among -which are some of his finest: " B e t w e e n Two Hills," "Soul of Hassidim," Reincarnation of a Melody" he either recaptured or rejuvenated all the good and the beautiful and the positive in Hassidism.

Some of his disciples and admirers have acclaimed him as the greatest and most creative glorlfier of Hassidism; but I believe it would be more correct to acclaim him as the great glorlfier and praise-singer of the positive, creative, inspiring and life-giving powers and qualities lying latent in the rank and file of the Jews of his day, many of whom were still under the Influence of Hassldlsm. For being the 1 e a dl ng Maskll of his day, he certainly would have been the last one to defend tbe degraded and decadent Hassidism of his age.

Hassidistn It is one of the raelancholy facts of history that nearly every faith suffers most from its own followers; too often they misunderstand and distort a great teacher's words and ruin the good which he c r e a t e s . Baal Shem Tov's ideals did not long survive his death.

The fervent devotion for which he appealed degenerated into hysterical prayer and vulgar spiritual antics, His subordination of learning to faith was simply taken to imply contempt for learn-

ing. The ignorant masses prided themselves upon their ignorance.

It became a dogma in Ha&sidlc circles that "where there is much learning, there Is Httle piety."

A veritable ZaddLk cult, W£ad worship of the Z&daik, b e g a n , which debased the spiritual life of Haseidic communities. W h e n the iastitutioa became hereditary and the spiritual gifts of saiatly fathers were tot vouchsafed to their children, the office of the Za&dik was degraded and ruined.

And there were rascals who lived on the cruelty of the masses and exploited them for their own material well-being.

Still Peretz found much that was positive and creative in the Hassidim he depicted: Their vital regard for the sanctity of every human being r e g a r dless of his status, their cheerfulness and optimism in the face of crushing misery, their protest against the petrification of the heart in Rabbinical Judaism, against the choking of living faith through a mass of commandments and dry rituals, against the cessation of worship out of joy and expanse of heart and its exchange for the dry Pilpul (sophistry) of the Talmudists and arid scholarship of the Meesnagdeem.

Honor Paid In everything, from his first line to his last — in his poetry, publlcistic endeavors, prose creations and enlightenment efforts— lay the passion, which was the driving force of all his creations: his poignant pathos and pity for

the Jewish masses. W h o e v e r would understand Peretz t h o r o u g h l y , must see him In that light. Which best explains why h« didn't create acy strong characters.

However, his strong characters are those which themselves can, deeply and powerfully feel pathos for their fellow-men. It was for tfcat reason also that he didn't draw upon Jewish history, which doesn't need Ms pity. He was submerged entirely in the folk about him, in the fire that w a r m e d them, must warm them in their misery which oppressed them, In their yearnings which they bora in the depths of their pain-rent hearts.

And he told of that life in many forms; lie was realist, romantic* ist and symbolist in o n e . His chief hero was Bontche Shveig of the various stratas, of the various classes among Jews.

And for these reasons socialist and nationalist, radical and conservative, Yiddish-speaking Jews alike pay honor and still cherish with a touching love the memory of Leibuscb Peretz.

It is part of this $4 upon which administration is dependent and full benefit cannot be derived unless full expenses are paid.

Passover - * 5700 Next week will see the beginning ef the annual observance of the Passover, Israel's great holiday of freedom. It may seem somewhat ironic that such an observance is taking place at a time •when almost one-half of the world's Jews today live in a bondage as horrible, if not more BO, than that of the Jews of ancient Egypt. Evea the past •week has seen another segment at Jewry, that of Scandinavia, brought into the orbit of the Nazi octopus.

Yet the slavery from which the Jews of Egypt •were released is not the slavery of Indentured servitude; it is not the slavery of one man master aad many men slaves. True, there was that physical bondage, but that merely heightens the symbolism of the Exodus. The slavery of Egypt Is a slavery that no master can impose on the Jews again. Only the Jews are capable of forging those bonds, and each year strengthens their faith in their freedom. *

•

«

•

When the Jews left Egypt they cast aside the shackles of idolatory; they forsook a land of false gods. They left behind ways not only strange to them, but to the very concept of humanity. The Jews were not the only slaves in Egypt, for the Egyptalans were not free men either.

What followed the departure from Egypt were not the happiest years, but they were the years that laid the basis for the future Israel. Forty years of wandering In the wilderness were needed to make free men out of slaves. But when Israel emerged from that desert they had with them the *'Ten Commandments," the gift of Sinai.

•

Today the Jews are a free people. They may not live where they desire; they may be subject to the grossest of injustices; the victims of the crudest of persecution. Yet despite all this, they are the free men.

It is not the Jews whose conscience shall be •weighted with injustice. It is not they who suffer the anguish of guilty men. No blood drips from their hands.. As a people we have not reached perfection. We have our failings; we have made "our errors and have at times seemed to return to the worship of false Idols. Yet among us have always persisted prophetic voices and they usually have been heard and listened to.

At the Passover wo remember the blessings of Our freedom. • We remember all we hare learned Jn these thousands of years of Jewish history. Ours has been a continual lesson of freedom, for to he free we must learn to respect the lives of others.

Ours Is a freedom beyond the reach of any mortal, feelf-appointed taskmaster. It is a freedom that is not snatched away by tyrants; a.freedom that does not end with death.

Enemies Within the Gates To those who have, been apt to scoff about any danger from the Nazi and Fascist groups in this country, it may be well for them to look at what Is happening fa Europe. In less than a day two countries were invaded because of the able.as-i eistance of supposedly "nationalist" groups.

It seems almost incredible that a nation would foe so bold as to plant stooges in other countries and have them boldly defy all forms of decency and eventually,become the tool's "of German aggression. We have seen this happen time and time again since 1937 when the Austrian Nazis paved the way for Hitler's: expansion. It was seen again in. Czecho-Slovakia when the followers of Henlein, Jn German pay, again caused the agitation that finally resulted in the dismemberment of the Republic. ^ The conquest of Poland was prepared by spies, Nazi agents, and German "tourists," More "tourists" are now proceeding into the Danubian countries and Holland, the traditional citadel of political tolerance, is planning drastic steps to curb the email Nazi party in its borders.

Even competent observers had been tempted to dismiss the Influence of the Scandinavian Nazis.

Nazism, It was said time and time again, could Bot get a foothold in the Scandinavian countries.

Fundamentally they were democratic, their heritage was democratic, their institutions were democratic, successfully so. Here was no fertile soil -for'Nazism. Only a few crackpots had succumbed to its blandishments. But''what nctualy fcappened? Puppet govern-

Such action should put KS on ©sr guard against Fascist-ineliaed aativifit organisations, who are distinguished primarily by their definite pro-German, acti-Allies sentiment.

Utilities & tongue-in-the-cheek Americanism, these groups nevertbtlees owe allegiance to the ideology of Adolph Hitler.

As Jews \ye are concerned with this matter since anti-Semitism has been the cleverest method of Nasl penetration. The Polish governiBeat-inezile has belatedly recognized this phenomenon and Eheepishly admits its sponsoring of an antiSemitic policy played into German hands.

Political anti-SeialUsin has been a carefullynurtured force in Europe and has so far paid high dividends to unscrupulous politicians. For the first time it is being utilised in international politics and the results are evident to anyone who wishes to look with seeing eyes.

Flicker in the Middle East Significant troop concentrations in the middle east—Palestine, Syria and Egypt—indicate that the war area may soon spread, and the arena of conflict be extended from the Arctic to the Mediterranean. What is to happen may be dependent on the outcome of the Scandinavian campaign. It may also be an independent war, flaring at any moment.

A few weeks ago it was thought that Russia would again show its claws, this time in a southerly direction. But it appears that now Italy is the power to be feared. Heavy troop movements in the direction of the Italian border indicate that Franco has no confidence in Mussolini's ability to stay neutral and will not trust him should action be started on the Western front. Nor can a German military mission to Rome mean any good.

Of course, any difficulty in the Mediterranean region will be immediately reflected in Palestine.

The significance of British concessions to the Arabs is immediately apparent, for Britain realizes full well she can depend on the Jews.

The position of Palestine, should conflict occur, would be difficult although the British and French Mediterranean fleets are not impotent.

With Turkey now pro-Allies, as against its active participation in the last war on the side of Germany, the situation is, however, considerably-better than In 1914.

Watchword of the Fertile Crescent is alertness. The traditional battleground of centuries will not give in as easl y . ihe northern countries, because too much Is at stake.

The Hebrew University Fifteen years ago this month, the Hebrew University began its career on the sancitlfied soil of Mount Scopus. Thus another Zionist dream had been realized, an institution of higher learning established in Palestine. Thus the Jews in Palestine had signified their intention of strengthening Jewish culture not only In the Near East but throughout the world. ' Half of the University's existence bas been through the most sorrowful period in Jewish history.' Yet the University has been the ope Jewish institution to flourish on Jewish travail. Its faculty and student body have been immeasurably enriched by persecutions. Men, famed in Berlin, Vienna, Moscow, Warsaw, who, under normal circumstances, would never have been content to pursue their labors in the provincial -atmosphere of the Near East, have found haven at the Hebrew University-and have, accelerated its amazing march to fame.

As the fountain-head of Jewish culture, it has becdme the center of a revival and has actually given life and content to a language once called 'dead.' It has at the same time aided in a renaissance of Arabic culture as leading figures in the field of Semitics focused their attention on the University's resources.,. The first European universities were the joint gift of Spain's Hebrew and Arabic cultures and the Hebrew University has attempted to carry on that great tradition. .

In the field of scientific research the University has already proved itself of great value. Even leprosy, dreaded disease of the tropics, is being effectively fought by the great scientists of Jerusalem.

Few universities In the world have accomplished so much in their first years. Perhaps the University of {Joettingen during its years of glory; perhaps the University of Chicago. The Hebrew University has risen to pre-eminence ia its adolescence, a remarkable achievement, for which the Jews of the world may take great pride; for the University was built not with the riches of one great man, not with the lure of large salaries. ? It wan born of the pride of the Jewish -people and nurtured on its suffering.

Gems of the Bible'

By Dr. Pfcillp SL»r BIBLE Bid Jerusalem take heart and proclaim unto her that her time of service is accomplished, that her guilt is paid off.

O thou tfa&t tellest good tidings to Jerusalem,, lift up tby voice with s t r e n g t h , lift up, be not afraid.

All the nations are as nothing before Him; they are accounted

by Him ss caught, and vanity.

Lift up your eyes on high and Bee who hath created these? He who bringeth out their host by number. He ealleth them all by name, by the g r e ' a tness of His might, and for that He is strong in power not on faileth.

TALMUD Rabbi Juda said that R. Eliezer was asked: "To what extent is one bound to honor his father and mother?" To which he replied: Come and see what a gentile of Askelon, Darnoh ben Nothina by name, once did. The sages once desired to purchase from him a jewel for the Ephod for the sum of eighty myriaods, but the key of the safe in which the diamond was kept happened to be under the pillow of his father who was asleep and Darnoh would not disturb him and thus lost the sale.

In the following year, however, God rewarded him with a birth of a red heifer among his herds, and the sages came to purchase it. He said: "I know v e r y well ,that should I ask of you any amount of money for it, you would give it to me. However, I only wish you to make good the loss I sustained In honor of my father."

When the sages were informed of this, they said: Behold, if one who is not commanded to do so, and performing it, is t h u s rewarded how much more will, the reward be to one who is instructed to do so and really does it?

For R. Chanina said: "The reward of fulfilling a commandment is much greater to one who is commanded and does it than to one who is not commanded and does it of his own free will."

Abimithe, son of It. A b u h a, taught: It may happen that one feeds his father pheasants, and yet deserved the punishment of a disrespectful son, while a n other may send his father to work with a hand mill and yet through this action will be rewarded in the future world. These two events will explain the meaning of my words: A certain man placed dainty food for his father to eat. While the father was eating he s a i d : My son, wherefrom didst thou obtain these delicacies?" and the son replied insultingly: "Eat, old man and don't ask any questions." On the other hand, a miller had bis father living with him, and his father was called to work for the overnment and the son said: "I will go and do the hard work for the government in your place, and you take charge of the mill."

Therefore, such a son deserves to be rewarded.

FRANKLY SPEAKING

By PAT FRANK J. T. A. Washington Press WASHINGTON Washington felt the hot breath of war on the first fine days of spring. The assault oa Scandinavia brought laamy & pompous isolation it t down to earth, and the realization that oceans can be spanned, as well as seas — and that the United S t a t e s Army isn't much larger than Norway's.

It was. a blow to a number of midwestern S e n a tors and Congressmen of Scandinavian descent who had been howling, "this war isn't our war. Keep neutral in thought as well as action."

So long as only the Jews, the Poles, the Czechs, and the Austrians felt the heel ot the.Nail boot, these gentlemen weren't'interested. But now that flame and steel have shrivelled Norway and Denmark, they're b e g inning to wonder.

Ironically, the only Norwegianborn Congressman is the Naiilovlng, Jew-hating Jacob Thorkelson. We hope his constituents of Scandinavian descent appreciate his past s e n timents, when the election rolls along.

Tine day after (he Nails invaded Poland, tlie staff of the A*he» \ille CRisseti pasted on their bulle* tin board en eight-column banner wMch had appeared in their p«V per a few days previously, It read: No war in E u r o p e ! — Reynolds." . .The day after the G e r m a n s Blitzkrieged Norway, members of the House and Senate were passing around the Congressional Record printed only A few hours before, carrying the r e m a r k s of Senator Robert Reynolds In the Senate on the previous d*y. One paragraph related that N o r way, Denmark, and Sweden had been untouched by the first W o r l d War, and would be untouched by this one.

The man who many suspect fancies himself as a Hillbilly Hitler had proved, once again, that he is ton extraordinary prophet on European affairs, and well qualified to be the most vocal member of the Foreign Relations Committee.

In a speech before a group of Jewish women here the o t h e r day, Martin Dies once and for all laid the ghost of the whispers —inspired, we believe, by William Dudley Pelley — that he can be classed as covertly anti-Semitic.

It wasn't a damagogic speech.

Dies.didn't shout, or w a v e his arms. The tall Texan, who has developed into one of the best extemporaneous speakers in Washington, quietly related his' ideas on tolerance, and religious freedom. Dies says he's mllitantly tolerant. And he a d d e d that he didn't like the word tolerance, because it didn't mean enough. Religious freedom Is not something to be merely tolerated, he said.

They had been at work for almost a year, soliciting $40*0,000 needed to secure a gift of f600,000 from John D. Rockefeller.

Facing a tremendous job, they first appealed to Chicago Baptists, tlsea to Baptists throughout the country. Next they went to the business Men of Chicago, and after that to the alumni of the Old University. Though the response to each appeal was generous, there were but four months remaining in which to obtain 180,000 more in pledges before the Rockefeller gift would be secured '£o Jewish Leaders The story of the successful appeal to the Standard club is recalled in the official history of the university, which relates: "On February 20, 1890, Mr. Gates and Mr. Goodspeed called on Berthold Loewenthal, a prominent banker. He was greatly Interested, and promised to h e l p start a movement among his coreligionists.

"He was Joined by Dr. Emll G. Hlrsch and Eli B. Felsenthal, and as a result of their efforts the Standard club voted to raise $25,000 to help establish the new university.

"The volunteer contribution of the Standard club helped immeasurably to focus public attention on the problem faced In establishing the university. The generous co-operation the c l u b showed was one of the essential factors in the final s u c c e s s achieved." •

(Coctiaued from page 1.) was to close the principal avenue of emigration for some 12,000 Jewish refugees from Fbland now domiciled in Lithuania who hoped to settle in Palestine and other overseas countries. Unable to enter Pol&nd or Germany, these ref» ugees have inteEded to reach Scandinavian ports in order to embark for new homelands or to proceed to French &ad Rumanian ports of embarkation.

The only route to Palestine It now through Soviet Russia to Odessa and thence to the Rumanian port of Constanza.

DEATH OF CARDINAL VERDIER Paris (JTA) — The World Jewish Congress sent the C a t h olio chancellery a message of condolence on the death of Jean Cardinal Verdier, Archbishop of Paris, who died at the age of 76. Similar messages were sent by other Jewish organizations. Chief R a b b i Issaye Schwartz visited the Cardinai'8 home and left his card.

Many prominent Jews sent messages of condolence on the death of Cardinal Verdier, e x pressing gratitude for the attitude he had taken against Nazi persecution.

The Cardinal was a vigorous opponent of Nazi racial theories.

On Nov. 20, 1939, he.bitterly denounced anti-Semitic persecution in Germany and called Nazi racial theories "a defiance of sane observation of facts, of true science and of the spiritual traditions ot the universe." ,-. i.

On May 8, 1939, he told a Jewish delegation: "We will always be with you because we believe in the triumph of the rights of the individual, in family and social relations, and appeasement of International relations."

New York (WNS) — Dr. William Jay Schieffelin, chairman of the Volunteer Christian Committee to Boycott Nazi Germany, has announced that plans for a campaign to impose a "moral emSir Israel Hart was three timed bargo" against the sale of American materials to Nazi Germany mayor of Leicester, England. had been completed, by the Coordinated B o y c o t t Committees and Matthew Woll, vice-president of the American Federation of Labor.

An appeal to American exporters and to the general public, Dr. Schieffelin said, would emphasize the vital need for such an embargo as "a means of contributing to the defeat of totalitarian aggression without participating in the war."
