Our New York Letter

The Falashas.

The American Pro-Falasha Committee recently organized
has just sent broadcast to organizations and individuals, an
appeal in behalf of the small group of Jews in Abyssinia known
as the Falashas. This small aggregation of black skinned Jews
for centuries cut off from world Israel has within comparatively
recent years been brought into contact with their brethren in
Europe and America. These people represent one of the most
interesting phenomena in the history of Israel. For long cen-
turies without the slightest opportunity of association with
their fellow Jews, they have yet scrupulously maintained the
Ancient ceremonials and held fast to the faith of their fathers.
Information as to these people was first brought to Europe
by Christian missionaries. The first Jew to interest himself in
their fate was Professor Joseph Halvey of the Sarbonne at Par-
is, who journeyed into Abyssinia in 1868. Since then, Dr. Jaques
Faitlovitch—a pupil of Halvey's—has devoted his life to the
cause of the Falasha and since 1904 has made four expeditions
into Abyssinia.
The Falashas according to information at hand as publish-
ed in a circular issued by the American Committee, earn their
living as farmers, blacksmith, masons, potters, weavers, tanners,
saddlers and basket makers. But they need schools and teach-
ers, physicians and medicines. A few of their young men are
being trained in Europe to assume leadership among their.peo-
ple. But if these people are to be saved to their ancestral faith
—and surely they seem worth saving—much more must be done
in their behalf. A number of Jewish organizations have en-
dorsed the efforts of those interested in these people and have
contributed generously to the cause. Among these organiza-
tions are the Central Conference of American Rabbis, the
United Synagog of America, the Council of Jewish Women and
Cultural Activities Committee of the Joint Distribution Com-
mittee, the latter organization having voted an appropriation
of seventy five hundred dollars to assist in the educational and
religious work among the Falashas.
The appeal is now geing forward to individuals throughout
the land for help. Contributions from one dollar upward are
asked for this work. Surely it ought to seem right that a people
small in numbers and cut off from civilizing influences as the
Falashas have been through cenutries; that have maintained
themselves in their religious integrity, should be supported by
their more fortunate brethren in faith. We believe that the
appeal of the American Committee will therefore meet with
generous response.

Albert Kahn.

Among those deserving of unstinted praise for the crea-
tion of the magnificient new Temple Beth El, is unquestion-
ably its architect—Mr. Albert Kahn. Rarely if ever, except
in the case of the previous Temple of this Congregation, has it
been the good fortune of a congregation to have as the direct-
ing head of a great new building, one of its own officers and
directors.
Nothing that might be said in these columns could add to
the prestige which Mr. Kahn has long since won in his profes-
sion. A man of nation wide reputation for his unusual achieve-
ments, his services are sought in every part of the land and his
counsel is eagerly asked by his fellows in the profession which
he honors.
But Mr. Kahn is more than an architect and more than an
artist, as has been proved in the devotion that he has given to
the task so splendidly completed by him. Mr. Kahn has sensed
as few men do, the synagogal spirit and he has translated into
terms of stone and steel, that spirit. Every line in the great
structure which he has built is eloquent of it. With him, the
erection of this great house of God was a labor of love. And it
is, we believe, because of that fact that in its every line, the
building speaks as eloquently as it does of the strength, the
dignity, the simplicity, and the permanence of the faith in
whose name and to whose glory it has been builded.

The B'nai B'rith News.

The two professors, being German-
born and bred, could speak most au-
thoritatively about Germany. But it
appears there is a new Germany,
where Jewish scholarship and He-
brew authorship flourish. It is the
Germany of the tens of thousands of
Jewish . emighees, from Russia and
from Eastern Europe. To this Ger-
many, according to Prof. Elbogen,
European Jewish culture has been
transplanted. The old branch has been
grafted on to a new tree. The world
famed Yeshiva of Lithuania is des-
troyed. Slobodka, Lyda, Lomzz and
other countries of traditional Jewish
genius may never be restored. But
there has arisen a vast interpretive
literature which is cloaking the old
teaching in modern garments, making
it more pleasing to the eye and more
palatable to the modern consumer.
• • •
Jews who have been able to shake
the Russian dust from their feet and
find compartive peace in Germany are
vortcious readers of Jewish books,
Elbogen said. They are more than
that. They are reckless buyers of
books. Their reading and buying are
explained by the same fact that for
perhaps seven or eight years they
have not known the feel of a well-
printed page and not been in the mood
probably for reading the books that
had been spared out of the cataclysm.
• • •
So, according to Prof. Elbogen, Ile-
brew book-making and book selling
has become a paying business in Ger-
many. The books that are sold are
not all fiction and poetry. They are
to a very large degree, scholarly
works. They are purchased by the
future Rabbi, who, my German guides
informed me, are more fundamental
than some of their predecessors.
As teachers and scholars, Prof. El-
bogen and Dr. Perles show little in-
terest in Hebrew belles letters in the
making of which, judging from the
few samples reaching this country,
heighth of the book-makers' and print-
ers craft has been reached. The ef-
fort represented by the "Rimon", for
example. But it is at least indicative
of the high regard in which the print-
ed Hebrew word is held that its de-
votees have invested it with such rare
sacrifice. The "Dwir," that other
great enterprise promoted by the Jew-
ish millionaire Paenson and guided by
the poet, Bialik„ is considered by both
these men as significant and, it is in-
teresting to note, profitable. Of the
"Almon" again, Prof. Elbogen smil-
ingly remarked that if Madame Vish-
nitzer had more to do, there would be

any definiteness about the prospects
of Jewish scholarship in this country,
Dr. Perles hazarded the prophecy that
the Torah will yet come forth from
New York. Prof. Elbogen who sees
plenty of dents in the assimiliation-
1st's armor„ and be very apparently
had his own "Hochschule" in mind, is
persuaded that Jewish scholarship
would prosper if those who know and
live Hebrew enough to speak it could
be mad ten take a greater interest in
scholarship, "Choehmath Israel."
After Prof. Elbogen, that personi-
fication of grace and courtesy, had es-
corted me to the elevator of the hotel,
and I found myself alone on upper
Broadway, I wondered if professors
from any of our "ilochschulee" on this
side could, on being interviewed over
there, speak as cheerily as did these
two men about the prospects of Jew-
ish learning in the world.

800 ZIONISTS UNDER

SOVIET SURVEILLANCE

MOSCOW. — (J. T. A.)—It is
learned that about 800 Zionists in
various parts of the Ukraine, espe-
cially in the city and district of Kiev ,
are under the survelilance of the
"Tcheka," charged with membership
in the Zionist Organization, many of
them awaiting trials before revolu-
tionary tribunals.
Most of these Zionists were arrest-
ed on Sept. 20, in accordance with
the general order declaring Zionist
activities illegal. Since then a num-
ber have been released, after being
kept in prison for 18 days, but are
held under the eyes of the "Tcheka."
Many are still imprisoned.
Papers of all Zionist societies have
been seized and their friends seques-
tered. The outcome of the trial,
which is expected the end of Novem-
ber, will probably be similar to that
of the trial of the thirty some mem-
bers of the Young Zionist League, the
majority of whom were sentenced for
alleged connections with the counter-
revolutionary agencies and member-
ship in the anti-Soviet party.
The kind of resistance the young
Zionists are prepared to put up is
perhaps presaged by an incident in
connection with their inquest by the
"Tcheka" against Rachlis, who was
forced to sneak Hebrew because the
prisoners refused to answer ques-
tions in either Russian or Yiddish.

TWO SHADOWS.

By Henry Pine (Ir Ganim, Palestine)

Golden rays had set in the west;
Silver arose in the east,
Shining sparks appeared above the
bridge—
The dark, they try to besiege.
The stream below floated along,
Quite as the sweetest song.
The moon's bright rays from the skies
Softly on the water lies.
On the bridge two shadows were seen,
Lovers, kissing, they have been.
Murmuring what on the bridge had
been done,
The stream floated on and on.

NEW COLONY BUILT
BY U. S. ENTERPRISE

Building in Balfouria Financed by
Zion Commonwealth and Keren
Hayesod.

A statement issued by the main of-
fice of the Palestine Foundation Fund
(Keren llayesod) in the United
States gives details of the financing
of 30 houses, which will form the
nucleus of the colony of Balfouria,
founded by the American Zion Com-
monwealth, of which Judge Bernard
A. Rosenblatt is the originator. The
president of the organization is Solo-
mon J. Weinstein of New York.
The report states that credit
amounting to 60 per cent of the cost
of the houses is being advanced by
the commonwealth, the remaining 40
per cent to be furnished by the col-
onist owners. Many of the latter,
however, ate unable to supply the 40
per cent and by an arrangement with
the Keren Hayesod, the latter will
supply the necessary funds whichh
will make up for the shares of tho
colonists. The amount fixed to be
advanced by the Keren Hayesod in
the financing of this operation is
£2,500.
In addition to the homes which will
thus be provided for the colonists of
Balfouria, every colonist will get a
homestead amounting to 74 dunams
of land (about 20 acres), which will
be paid for in small installments over
a period of 25 years, subject to in-
terest at 4% per cent. It is pointed
out that Balfouria is the first colony
to be founded in Palestine after the
war and that it was named in honor
of Lord Balfour, the sponsor of the
famous Balfour Declaration.

BUDAPST.—(J. T. A.)—Paul San-

tional Assembly, will be made to pay
dearly for exposing, in an article cir-
culated by the Jewish Correspondence
Bureau in America, the campaign of
aggresion against Hungarian Jews
practised by the predecessors of, and
under the Horthy regime, if the Mag-
yars and other reactionaries have
their way. Copies of the newspapers
containing this article have moved the
Hungarian press to extraordinary ful-
mination, and it demanded that Herr
Sandor be impeached, tried for treas-
on and placed under "preventive ar-
rest."

"liakoach," the Vienna Jewish
sports club that won the football
championship of Europe last year,
was in a gridiron match recently with'
the "Rapids," the ex-champions. A
decision by the referee in favor of
the Jewish team caused a riot which
resulted in damage to the Ilakoach
playing field amounting to millions of
kronen. The so-called sports refused
to accept the referee's decision and
went so far as to force the latter to
yield his point. To this the Jewish
team naturally objected and the fight
resulting involved hundreds of spec-
tators as well as the players. Even
the anti-Semitic press of Vienna ex-
pressed great regret at such unsports-
manlike action. One would expect
that at least in athletics the better
man should rule. But this seems to
be exactly the thorn in the side of
