MICHIGAN'S JEWISH HOME PUBLICATION

A Cowardly Attack.

Several weeks ago, when the matter of the endorsement of
the Balfour program was brought before Congress by means of
the Lodge resolution, those who were interested in the passage
of the bill had a large and influential representation to plead in
their behalf. Those who were opposed to the bill were not rep-
resented in anything approaching equal numbers. Those ho
spoke for them were Dr. David Philipson of Cincinnati, Rabbi
Edward N. Calisch of Richmond, Va., and Rabbi Isaac Land-
man of New York.
These men need no defence at the hands of anyone either
for their sincereity, for the character of their manhood, or for
their loyalty to Judaism. These men, earnest and sincere in
fighting for a cause that they believe to be right and just,— a
conviction which is shared by hundered of thousands of their
co-religionists,—appeared before the Senate Committee in
charge of the Lodge resolution and in forceful and logical fash-
ion presented their side of the case. Their addresses were,
however, interrupted at many stages by hisses, catcalls, and
the cry of "traitors." Indeed, it has become a very common
practice among certain classes of Jews to brand as traitors those
who do not agree with them in their religious theories or who
do not follow their political methods and who are not willing
to become their tools in forwarding measures that are not al-
ways wholly ideal or even unselfish. It was a sad and unholy
exhibition which these men made of themselves in their attacks
upon those who were opposed to the endorsement of the Bal-
four program by our government. Their virulence was exceed-
ed only by that of the Yiddish and a certain portion of the En-
glish-Jewish press in their bitter attacks upon these men.
But even that was not the worst. These people at least
came out in the open. One could lay his finger upon them and
know who they are. What words, however, shall describe the
miserable cowardice of the man or the men or the organization
that gathered these vicious clippings together and printed them
anonymously for distribution throughout the entire country?
Rabbi Landman against whom these attacks were particu-
larly directed, should give himself no concern about them. The
foe who hides behind anonymity, whether he prints the writ-
ings of others or whether as an anonymous letter writer he
wields the "poison pen," is a creature so vile, so low, so lost
to every sense of decent manhood that the persons attacked by
him lowers his own dignity by giving so much as a passing not-
ice to his scurrilous onslaught.
Rabbi Landman, Rabbi Philipson, and Rabbi Calisch as stat-
ed above, need no defence against their enemies who have at
tacked them in the issue under discussion. But least of all do
they need any defence against cowards who in attacking them
are not brave enough and manly enough to stand up where they
can be pointed and counted.

The Stranger at Our Gates.

One of the most persistent complaints that reach the ears

of Jewish leaders in this city is that Jewish people coming to
Detroit from other cities, find it very difficult to make friends
with their co-religionists who have lived here for many years.
They say of Detroit Jews they are cold and snobbish and inhos-
pitable. They seem to believe that a hospitality committee
ought to meet them at the station upon their arrival in the city
or that at the very least, they should be put upon the calling

YESHIVAH CAMPAIGN
FOR 25,000 MEMBERS

Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theolog-
ical Seminary Starts Drive
For New Members.

The Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Then-
logical Seminary (the Yeshivah), the

Institution for the training of Ortho-
dox rabbis and teachers at 301-303

East Broadway, New York, is appeal-
ing for 25,000 new members. The
Yeshivah has over 500 students in all
its departments, preparatory, inter-
mediate and rabbinical. Its gradu-
ates occupy important nulpits in all
parts of the United States and Can-
ada. The Yeshivah is now urgently
in need of funds. Its annual budget
is $250,000 and the income now is
only about $160,000.
The Union of Orthodox Rabbis of
the United States and Canada has is-
sued a strong appeal for support.
The membership campaign is being
conducted by a national committee
headed by harry FischeL Rabbi
Aarron Teitelbaum is the executive
director of the campaign, the head-
quarters of which are at 100 Fifth
avenue, room, 1211, New York.
Rabbi Dr. Bernard Drachman,
honorary president of the Union of
Orthodox Congregations of America
and president of the Jewish Sabbath
Alliance of America, speaking of the
place of the Yeshivah in American
Jewish life, made the following state-

ment:
"The Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theo-
logical Seminary, more familiarly
known by the traditional Hebrew
term, the Yeshivah, represents an
earnest and determined effort to
grapple with the chief spiritual prob-
lem of Orthodox Judaism in America.
The crying need of Orthodox Judaism
in this land today is, on the one
hand, profound and thorough knowl-
edge of the intellectual treasures of
Jewry, the Hebrew language, Bible
and Talmud, and the wonderful Ile-
brew literature, combined with sin-
cere loyalty to the Torah, and on the
other hand, a thorough knowledge
of the language and culture of Amer-
ica and true devotion to the ideals of
Americanism. We must combine
these both in order to be true Ameri-
can Jews.
"The Yeshivah is earnestly endeav-
oring to reach this goal by a curricu-
lum in which thorough instruction in
Hebrew lore, as given in the great
Yeshivah and seminaries of Europe,
is combined with a broad secular edu-
cation as given in the schools and
academies of America. The rabbis
who have graduated from this Yeshi-
vah are well fitted for their task in
this modern age.
"The Yeshivah is therefore thor-
oughly deserving of the support of
every earnest Jew, concerned for the
welfare of his people and faith. I
sincerely hope that the drive for the
acquisition of 25,000 new members
will be successful and will bring to
the Yeshivah the financial strength
which it needs for the successful car-
rying on of its great work.

Come Not, 0 Lord

Come not, 0 Lord, in the dread robe of splendor
Thou woreat on the Mount, in the day of Thine ire;
Come veiled in those shadows, deep, awful, but tender,
Which Mercy flings over Thy features of fire.

Lord, Thou rememberest the night, when Thy nation
Stood fronting her foe by the red-rolling stream;
On Egypt Thy pillar frowned dark and desolation,
While Israel basked all the night in its beam.

So, when the dread clouds of anger enfold Thee,
From us, in Thy mercy, the dark aide remove;
While shrouded in terror the guilty behold Thee,
Oh, turn upon us the mild light of Thy love!

are not any single person, or any
small group of persons, but the Jew-
ish community as a whole. In many
cities, therefore, the Jews have pro-

where the children of busy parents
can be left during the day. These
nurseries are clean and well-kept, and
as beautiful as the Jewish people have
money to make them. For everybody
admits that the Jews provide gener-

virtues that their worst enemies do
not deny them.

RADEK, SOVIET SPOKESMAN,
RATHENAU'S BROTHER-IN-LAW

BELGRADE. — tJ. T. A.) — Karl
Radek, one of the Soviet's spokesmen,
is reported to have obtained a di-
vorce from his wife and to be en-
gaged to be married to a sister of Dr.

The report has it that the couple

RIGA.—(J. C. M)—Five thousand
Jews have been made homeless by the
flood which swept over Dwinsk when
the Dwina overflowed its banks, latest
reports state. The number of Jews
drowned is estimated at 200. Five
children were found dead in one
house when the debris was cleared.
The flood occurred on Friday night
when most of the inhabitants were
asleep, taking the population una-
wares. It was the Friday night pre-
ceding Passover and the flood inun-
dated the houses, sweeping away the
Mazoth and the supplies the Jews had
prepared for Passover.
Reports state that in consequence
of the flood the situation is disas-
trous. One-third of Dwinsk Jews
were previously supported by the
Kehillah, which now has nearly the
whole population to look after.
