Let me take another Instance of
lack of any kind of understanding
and this is a matter of great impor-
tance. It is needless for me to tel l
you that during the last eight year s
the Jews of this country have been ,
and very properly have been, con •
cerned about the condition of thei r
brethren in Europe and in Palestine
because of the ravages of the World
War and the dreadful condition s
which followed it. That Jews in
America had their own religious, edu -
cational and charitable work to con
eider and carry on, goes without say -
ing. One would hardly suppose tha t
there could have been any lack o f
understanding upon this point, name
ly, that the necessary work on be -
half of the Jewish community and
the Jewish life in America should be
carried on with a complete under -
standing of the necessary work fo r
Europe and for Palestine. And ye t
this is very for from being the case .
I have known campaigns to be car -
ried on for European relief, for Pal -
estine and for local purposes, almos t
at the same time and over-lapping
each other. I have known agree -
ments, or, what were equivalent to
agreements, to have been reached
with regard to such matters and the
agreements not observed. In my own
immediate contact with this work,
have come across people who are im -
mensely concerned, or appear to be
immensely concerned, about the Jew -
ish cultural life in Eastern Europe ,
or the educational work in Palestine ,
who have never in the slightest way
interested themselves in such work
in America or lifted a finger for t .
Now it is possible that the need for
work on behalf ofEurope will di
minted and cease before long and it
is to be hoped that it will, but I have
the feeling that no person in the Jew
Bib community in America has a
moral right to have his voice heard
on behalf of the work in Europe who
does not take his share in the work
in America.

sibly in any time, complete uniform -

throughout the United States or else-
where. The Christian Church has
never attained it. The Mohammedan
has not attained it, and we certainly
have not attained it. These differ -
ences are probably as inevitable as
the differences in the human mind.
We have people who are radical and
people who are mystics, and people
who are philosophers, rationalists and
pietists, and we probably always will
have such distinctions. But we might
well agree on some things. We might
agree that our congregations are not
audiences for the purposes of listen-
ing to a beautiful organ, or a great
choir, or a silver throated Ilazan, or
a celebrated orator, but that they
should be composed of human beings
taking part in the worship. We might
also agree that our public service
should be conducted with some or-
der and understanding of what is
considered due to a religious service
and not to be, as it were, a free for
all prayer meeting without guidance
of any sort. We might do a good
deal with regard to the music that is

JUNE MENORAH JOURNAL
The Menorah Journal for June, the
largest issue ever published, contains
the following features:
"Behind Itathenau,' the first of a
aeries of articles on The Jew in the
European Scene' by Marvin Lowen-
thal, one of the editors of the Menor-
ah Journal, who has just returned
from a year's study of European con-
ditions. Many phases of European
anti-Semitism have been put before
the American public, but here, for the
first time, you have a panorama of
disordered Europe, of whose funda-
mental sickness the symptoms are
boycotts and barricades, fascism and
anti-Semitism. To deal with the
symptoms we must first uuderstand
the disease. This series of articles
for the first time gives a foundation
from which we can intelligently at-
tack the problem of European anti-
Semitism.
The June issue also Includes "In the
Shadow of Ilermon," a moving and il-
luminating novelette by S. Broches (a

Party Spirit.
Standing in this place and giving a
lecture as I do under the auspices of
the Hurwitz Educational League, I
am going out of my way to refer to
the unfortunate differences between
the Agudath Israel and the Mizrachi.
As far as I am able to see, an al-
most incredible bitterness has grown
up in Poland which has ceased to be
an internal question and has been
carried into national politics. Think
of it, not only in congregational and
school affairs but even in political
matters—in the Polish Parliament—
these two wings of Jewry oppose
each other.
I am not speaking this evening on
Jewish life outside of America, but
I know that these differences and
others existing in this country are a
sort of reflex of conditions in Europe
and I do hope and pray that what-
ever can be done in America to allay
these differences among the people
who have honest disagreements will
be done, in order that such factional
quarrels in Europe shall not be
strengthened from this country.
Then there is another matter upon
which I think we need an understand-
ing. I am far from being a blatant
American. It is so natural with me
that I never think of talking about it.
Still, I do not quite understand the
attitude of mind which insists upon
association in America based upon
some foreign origin. I have never
been able to ate the usefulness, or
the necessity, of • congregation, for
