Rabbi Issermaa's Editorials
Continued from page 1
States, and in the State of New York, one-third or dne-fourth of whose population is Jewish, seems almost incredible. That in a State whose attorney-general is a Jew, where the two major parties have nominated the one a Jew for governor and the other a Jew for lieutenant-governor, this myth should be menacingly revived is indicative of the dangerous heights to which bigotry has risen in the United States, Of course, the child was found in Massena. The officials have made apologies. Governor Smith has ordered a full investigation. Stephen S. Wise, for the American Jewish Congress, and Louis Marshall, for the American Jewish Committee, have voiced protests. Dr. Wise was at Albany to participate in the official investigation. But after all, what is to be done? The daamge is irreparable. Full publicity of the incident and drastic action with the officials may prevent its occurrence in some other backwoods village. Rut it is indeed a sad commentary on American civilization that in the year 1928�in a country founded on the bedrock of religious liberty, one of the worst expressions of medieval intolerance and brutality should appear.
A New York rabbi, in his Simchath Torah sermon, suggested that publicity for Jewish services andNthe attendance of non-Jews at the synagogue would tend to prevent the spread of such rumours. Holy Blossom Synagogue of Toronto has for year carried out this policy. Its services have always been open to the public, and many Christians have taken advantage of the opportunity to visit the synagogue. It is not an unusual thing to find several hundred non-Jews in attendance at a synagogue service. In addition to that the periodic broadcast of regular services, and the broadcast this year of Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur services have not only been of help to Jews confined to their homes, but have indicated to our neighbours that no secret magic rites are practised, nor any weird occurrences take place in the synagogue. Judaism is a noble faith, and the more widely its beautiful worship is disseminated, the less frequently will men give credence to rumours and myths like that which led to the outbursts in Massena, N.Y.
and ministries; the city of Paris division which he represented in Parliament for many sessions, the Commerce and Aviation 'Services, and many other public and private bodies.sent wreaths until the courtyard of the Ministry in the Rue de Grenelle was piled high with flowers, too heavy and too numerous to find a place on the four cars which had been reserved for them. Two aviation regiments formed a guard of honour, and while the body was being placed ia a hearse a military band played the "Marseillaise." The body was interred in a Jewish cemetery and rites were performed by a rabbi.
GIVE WHILE YOU LIVE!
To give or not to give is not the question
Whether it is nobler in a man, to share
The good that God has blest him with,
Or to hoard all for himself
Is not the question
There's none so base and none
So brazen would dare say that,
But whether a man shall
Feel within himself the urge
To do all that he can to help
The poor, the sick, the oppressed,
Or by a meagre dole
Strive to avoid responsibility�
That is the question, to give
And more, to freely give
In such a way that those we help,
No longer need our hdp, but stand alone,
Is a kind of giving to be highly praised.
�B.G.G.
