ROSH HA SHANAH GREETINGS
Burton Rascoe, literary editor of
the New York Tribune, writes in the
current issue of the Menorah Journal;
The hotly human element in the
Jewish contributions to American

against the deliberate, unimpassioned,

of the Jew is to blow always hot or

he gives voice either to the loftiest

sentiment or to the bitterest disillu-
sion; sometimes, as Heine often did,
in the sane poem. The JJew is never
serene, nor on the other hand is he
ever complaisant; coming of a race
of prophets and malcontents, he is
always either portentous or in revolt.
He is either excessively humble or
full of arrogance, depressed or ex-

patiently awaiting the coming of the
Messiah. He never takes things easy
or lets well enough alone; his bent is

was said of Alcibiades that he made

scholars; he ate and dressed like the

and he accommodated his preferences
in all matters to the situation in
which he found himself. It is un-
thinkable that a Jewish Jew could
ever be an Alcibiades; he is too jeal-
ous of his personal identity for that,
too insistently egoistic, too readily
contemptuous of modes of living
which he thinks inferior to his own.
This, mind you, is not disparage-
ment, but the establishment of a ra-
tionale whereby to view the Jewish
contribution to American letters. It
is to pose points of difference with
the non-Jewish writers. The Hellenic
rule of the golden mean tends to be
colorless, vapid, trivial and uninter-
esting when it is adhered to by writ-
ers who have hot shining qualities
of intellect and emotional perception.
On the other hand, the writer who
considers his own reactions in the
light of universal laws, is by that very
fact likely to be interesting, because
his work has behind it an intensity of
feeling. It is for that reason, I be-
lieve, that contemporary American,
as well as French, Italian and Ger-
man literature, is strongly colored
with Judaism. Some of the outstand-
ing works of the great modern non-
Jewish writers—James Joyce, D. H.
Lawrence, Marcel Proust (although
he is said to have been part Jew),
May Sinclair, Dorothy Richardson,
Virginia Woolf and T. S. Eliot—are
essentially Jewish in chraacter, how-
ever modified by other cultures. It is
possible that the Judaic strain in
modern letters may eventually break
down to a great extent that chill bar-
rier of austerity the Englishman has
erected about him, that traditional
self-isolation which keeps the Eng-
lishman's thoughts pretty much to Ir
himself, and his troubles out of the
shop-windows of life. Whether it will
or not, that strain has ineradicably
crept into the English and American
literature of the period. It has given
that literature variety and new life;
it has intensified the critical element
in literature, and it has opened new
avenues of vicarious experience.

League, the American Bond and oth-
er organizations, Mr. Rippler enjoys
the confidence of thousands of his
fellow men.
He is favorably known as one of
the most progressive real estae brok-
ers of the city; has well appointed
offices at 724 Dime Savings Bank
building, and this reliability is proved
by years of permancy in the business
life of our great city. His funda-
mental education and his years of ex-
perience—years of activity in the real
estate field, years of study of real
estate law, several years the head of
a real estate association with the du-
ties of adviser, arbiter in controver-
sies, appraiser and adjuster, have es-
tablished his reputation, which is
based on efficiency, service, reliabil-
ity, fair dealing and the abhorrence
of all that is unust to buyer or seller.
Listings are accepted only after a
personal investigation of the property
offered and at prices that are right.
Mr. Nippier says: "Unfortunately,
there are nien in the real estate busi-
ness without knowledge or experi-
ence, who have their place of busi-
ness in their dwelling, in the lobbies
of office buildings, or at the curb.
Their only desire is a sale or a trade
where they can get their hands on a
Itt•mritission, without thought of serv-
ice for benefit to the buyer or seller.
"Home buyers should consult the
experienced broker; the buyers of in-
vestment property should consult
brokers who have made profitable in-
vestments for their clients; the men
who have contracts to sell should go
to the broker who has ready buyers.
If you want a home, consult him—
his advice is free. He knows what
the designation 'Home' implies. Home
means permanency. It is your own.
You may come and go as you will;
your children are free to live and de-
velop in a healthy, normal atmos-
phere and, as they grow older, home
represents the foundation upon which
their character is built. From your
home no stranger can compel you to
move—it is your's—yours perma-
nently, and no landlord can raise your
rent. Your permanent home must
be in the right location—surround-
ings of natural beauty, convenient to
business, amusement and shopping
centers, and in a community of sub-
stantial people who own their own
homes. These and other features are
embodied in homes and home sites
that we offer and authentic and de-
tailed information can be obtained
from any member of our staff."

Ohy may be, to us; we will solve
