MY JEWISH CHILDREN

I ilization; purpose, beauty and a vas

By IDA LUBLENSKI EHRLICH.

"I am unequipped to help them live
Jewish Lives."
I have a duty to perform for which
I confess myself unprepared. It is,
moreover, a duty which I cannot ig-
nore since it is to my children. As
I still have a few years until they
grow up to the age when they will
find me out, I write this article as a
sort of S. 0. S. in my embarrassment.
My task is this. I must prepare three
children to live their lives. Since
they are Jews they will have to live
Jewish lives. They cannot live any
other kind of life if they are to-en-
joy peace of mind and heart, and the
harmony which comes from unity of
purpose. I use the term Jewish life
in no limiting sense. On the con-
trary, my dilemma arises from my
inability to render an adequate inter-
pretation.
A child asks one thing of life—
happiness. He can be happy if he en-
joys well-being, beauty and compan-
ionship. Expressed in lowest terms,
he needs good health ea pretty toy and
a playmate. Youth makes the same
demand of life. But the elements of
happiness have increased many fold
with his own growth. Wider horizons,
both mental and spiritual; a dignified
background; the joy of possessing the
world's wealth in thought and
achievement; the joy of creating—
adding to that wealth; the craving to
identify himself with a living cur-
rent, to belong in the march of civ-

companionship to the same goal—a
these, youth needs to he happy. Wi I
he realize them in a Jewish life
That depends on what he finds a Jew
ish life to be.
When the chick peeped out of thi
:h ell he saw the green gram and h
declared the world to be green. When
a Jewish child looks at Judaism he
will see it as we show it to him. Will
he find it To be a constant comparison;
a constant being weighed and found
wanting; a constant lament; a con-
stant downward push; a constant ap-
peal- an ever evasive sympathy?
Willa see it as all drawback, all
limit thin, all sacrifice; a gyve on the
foot at best, to he stoically ignored?
Ile will not find happiness in such a
life. Or will he find it a vital part
of civilization with havigorous expres-
sion of a spiritual point of view, with
a moral code, a philosophy, a culture,
a literature, a genius—arrested in its
development but not moribund, a ra-
cial quantity which survives, because
it bears within itself the seed eter-
nal? Is it a life that gives as well as
takes, that offers a compensation for
every responsibility, whose mansions
grow ever more stately as the wings
of his own soul unfold?
Youth is the age of absorption.
Books are read, not singly, but by au-
thors. Every stimulus leads to vis-
ions new. Then, if ever, the spirit is
attuned to the vibrant force of life
and feels the urge to drink sleep from
the source and follow to the goal.
The appetite is insatiable, and an un-
quenchable thirst yearns for bottom-

miliar ground. I cad treat a theme
with poise and even stimulate to fur-
ther study. But a question on Jewish
literature or Jewish affairs proves me
to be a stranger in my own land. I
know neither the language nor the
custom of the country. I am con-
fused, I stammer, I stutter, I shrink
within myself, thankful if I can give
a brief reply and cut the subject
short. I otter meager fare to the in-
quiring spirit and commit that peda-
gogic crime of crimes—I nip the ten-
er bud of curiosity with the frost of
ignorance.
And I have not the slightest excuse
for this ignorance. I am not living in
a ghetto. The world of knowledge is
open to me. If I have feasted at
strange boards, and neglected my
Jewish education, my children will
conclude that either there was noth-
ing to learn or that the learning was
of no importance. You can't fool chil-
dren. With an instinct for truth they
see through pretense. With inexor-
able logic they will interpret our
sense of values. My indifference to a
Jewish education threatens a breach
between my children and Judaism.
Of cour-e, we expect that a Jewish
child will inherit a bond between it-
self and Judaism. But that cannot be
assured. We constantly see evidences
to the contrary. The children of the
ghetto felt that bond. They imbibed
the sorrow of the race, and, with an
intuitive loyalty, they met the stern,
unexplained demand for faith. The
next generation, freer from the ghet-
to, were loyal to a memory of sorrow.
But our children, nurtured under a
more genial sun, know neither sorrow
nor the memory of it. They feel
themselves freeborn and it is just
this freedem that should make them
better Jews. Only one bond will hold
them to Judaism and that bond is
Judaism itself—Judaism the rich, the
beautiful, the joyous, the sparkling
stream of living water. That bond
can only be forged by a Jewish edu- I
cation. And this education must not
only keep pace with the general one,
but must always be a little ahead of

It is my task to begin the forging
of that bond. I must introduce the
beauty and the joy in the first baby
prattlings and rhymes and songs, in
the picture books and fairy tales and
legends. I must establish at the earli-
est possible nrinent the sense of pos-
session of Jewish beauty and Jewish
joy, and thereby establish a back-
ground that will not totter at the
first contact with comparison. When

they will find joy and beauty and the
water of life if I am a competent
guide. I may be able to prevent a
groping in the dark which can only
end in confusion, a restless trial of
this and that when I might have set
them on the right road.
