tof

phony concerts on Thursday and
Friday evenings
thi
ss of
week,
De-
troit's musical season gets under
way and is off to a flying start
with the splendid program which
Ossip Gabrilowitsch, conductor of
the orchestra, has chosen for the
first pair of concerts. "The Ro-
man Carnival," by Borlioz; the Ce-
sar Francis Symphony in D minor;
Debussy's Symphonic Suite, "The
Sea," and Dukes' "The Sorcerers
Apprentice comprise the pro-
gram.
All of these numbers are fa-
miliar to concert goers with the
exception of the Debussy Suite,
which will be given its first pre-
sentation in Detroit on that occa-
sion. Written with his own inniit-
able technique, it is well worth a
hearng and will make a fine addi-
tion to the repertoire of the or-
chestra.
An innovation as far as this sea-
son's concerts are concerned will
be the limiting of the program
wherever it is possible to one and
a half hour, and it is the intention
of the managemnt to have these
concerts conclude at as near 10
o'clock as is possible.
The personnel of the orchestra
has been increased this year by the
addition of two second violins, two
violas and one cello, making the
total number of players now 89.

sued a clonal of Mt. Steuer's
charge's in an article he published
in the Vilna Yiddish daily, Der
Tag.
Dr. Szabad •emphatically denies
the assertion that he told Mr.
Steuer that 40 per cent of the
funds sent to Poland prior to 1925
were lost by the J. D. C. through
fluctuation in currency. The mis-
understanding probably arose be-
falls(' of the fact that Mr. Steuer
is not familiar with the Yiddish
language, Dr. Szabad writes. The
conversation took place in the
presence of Emanuel Ilertz, New
York lawyer, who acted as inter-
preter, but who himself does not
speak Yiddish fluently.
Dr. Szabad states that, on the
contrary, he laid emphasis on the
importance of the work of the
Joint Distribution Committee in
Poland, which was indeed a bless-
ing. Due to this work, the mor-
tality rate among the Jewish pop-
ulation in I'oland is smaller than
among the non-Jews, he states.
The crux of the conversation
was the contention that because of
the fact that emigration plays no
important role in relieving the
economic pressure of the Jewish
population in Poland, it will be
necessary for the bulk of the Jew-
ish masses to remain in the coun-
try but it is urgent that a vigor-
ous relief activity be taken to set-
tle them on the land.

are in every case complementary
terms pointing to one program and
to one ultimate ideal.
What then says your sane run,
your open-minded man, your truly
spiritual man, of the Jewish situa-
tion? Does he not say-must he
not say--that es the Jew becomes
more Jewish and not less-that is,
as under the inspiration of the
best that his faith has to teach, he
lives--he shall be serving that
faith and by that token making
his appointed contribution to hu-
manity? All the quibbles of the
blind optimist and of the blinder
pessimist will avail nothing. Un-
til these two understand each oth-
er better our dependence will have
to be upon the intelligent few. At
every stage of Jewish history the
few-sometimes the very few-
have beat our salvation. The
Prophets called these few "She'er-
ith Yisroel"-the remnant of Is-
rael."
And where shall that saving
remnant within the (louse of Is-
rael be found today? Let it be

those Jews - whatever lei their
similes or difference in religious
interpretation - who intelligently
and devotedly, and even sacrificial-
ly. Ivy out the faith that they
profess. Intelligence is not all
with the so-called Liberal, and
loyalty is not all with the so-called
Conservative. If Judaism is to
survive it will be through the lives
and the teachings on the one hand
of those Orthodox Jews who rec-
ognize the fact that Orthodoxy is
none than a ritual, more than a
form, more than n system of cere-
menials-that it is a life keyed

which Israel has lived through the
centuries. And on the other hand.
it will be saved by the lives and
the teachings of those Liberals
who comprehend the fact that Lib-
eralism does not imply a negation
if faith or a mocking at tradition,
and that it does net brook a spirit
of cynicism and skepticism, or an
attitude of scoffing at sacred
things. The Liberalism that shall
save Judaism is one that is posi-
tive, that is aggressive, that is
constructive in that it consciously
seeks to harmonize the age-old
truths of Judaism with all truth,
as it reveals itself inure .singly
through the ages.
