POSITION OF JUDAISM

Adolph S. Ochs Reports on
Successful Campaign for
Hebrew Union College.

SAN FRANCISCO.—Six hun-
dred leading American Jews gath-
ered Sunday in the beautiful Tem-
ple Emanu.EI at Arguello boule-
vard and Lake street for the open-
ing session of the thirty-first Coun-
cil of the Union of American He-
brew Congregations.
Ludwig Vogelstein's address as
chairman of the Executive Board
of the union was the feature of
the first business session of the
convention. Preceding him Sam-
uel Dinkelspiel, chairman of the
San Francisco Convention Com-
mitter, and Judge Max C. Sloss
had welcomed the delegates who
represent the Reform Jews in
America.
In outlining the work confront-
ing the convention Chairman Vo-
gelstein recalled that less than
100 years have elapsed since Jews
first settled on the Pacific Coast.
"Today," he said, "we find her
one of the principal cities of the
United States, a metropolis famed
for its beauty the world over. It
is an unusual and thrilling experi-
ence for the icon of America to
.assemble at the Golden Gate."
Purpose of the Symposium.
The chairman asserted that the
symposium on "Judaism and the
Modern World" would be an at-
tempt to ascertain whether the
conflict between Judaism and
modernism is real or imaginary
.and would answer these three chal-
lenges;
1. What is Judaism's position
toward the claims of modern scien-
tists based on the new discoveries
in the field of physical science?
2. What answer can Judaism
give the implications of the new
psychological conception of man?
3. Is there a conflict between
the teachings of Judaism and the
claims of the social order?
"Bear in mind," said Mr. Vogel-
stein, "that we Liberals are an in-
significant minority, probably not
over 400,000 of more than .1,000,-
000 Jews in America. But ours is
the obligation to carry the banner
of Judaism in this country. The
next generation will witness the
absorption into our synagogues of
millions who, owing to their later
arrival, are still bravely fighting a
hopeless battle to maintain a
medieval culture in the midst of a
Western civilization. We have no
quarrel with them, but the transi-
tion must be made slowly.
An appeal for contributions to
the endowment fund being raised
for the Hebrew Union College at
Cincinnati concluded with these
words:
"We are standing on the thresh-
hold of the most wonderful period
in Jewish history."
Achievements of Union College.
Chairman Vogelstein's address
made a marked impression on the
delegates and he was applauded
for several minutes. Following
Mr. Vogelstein, Dr. Julian Morgen-
stern, president of the Ilebrew
Union College, discussed briefly
the work being done by the college
in increasing good will between
Jews and non-Jews.
Mr. Morgenstern recounted
progress made toward an enlarged
library building at the college to
house the largest and most valu-
able collection of Hebrew books
and manuscripts and objects of
art in this country and announced
that the fund of $200,000 needed
for the work had been pledged and
the new building would be erected
before the next meeting of the
union.

TALMUD SEIZED

- —
Constable in Middletown, N. Y.
Holds Them for Collection
of $58.80 Judgment.

MIDDLETOWN, N. Y.—(J.
1. A.)—When Constable Simon
Glacer of Fallsburgh visited the
residence of Bernath Welber to
collect a judgment of $58.80
held by Jacob Landon, he found
that all the goods had been
shipped away except some vol-
umes of the Talmud, which Wil-
bur was carrying from the
building, preparatory to leaving
town.
This the officer immediately
seized. Ile thinks Welbur val-
ues the Talmud volumes so
highly that he will pay the
judgment to recover them. This
is believed to be the first time
in this part of the state that vol-
umes of the Talmud have been
seized to satisfy a debt.

menthes of the Krassin expedition
to rescue the airship Italia, are
mode in the Leningrad paper,
Krasnaya Gazeta. The charge
brought against Dr. Serednevsky
is that he conducted systematic
persecution of Jewish doctors at
his institution, compelling several
to resign, including the noted spe-
cialist Charshonovsky, who has a
record of many years' achies e-

guest of Detroit Jewry beginning
this Sunday afternoon.
Ranking among the three or
four outstanding rabbinic scholars
in the world today, Rabbi Leibo-
witz is looked up to by thousand::
of Orthodox Jews in this country
as their teacher. By virtue of
this position of leadership, as well
as because of his leadership of
one of the most important rab-
binic schools in the world, his
visit here is declared by Rabbi A.
M. Ashinsky and other rabbis as
well as leading laymen as a happy
occasion for Detroiters to honor a
great Jew.
Rabbi Boas Cohan of Congrega-
tion Ahavath Achim of Chicago, a
former pupil of Rabbi Leibowitz,
arrived in Detroit early in the
week to arrange for the reception
for this guest.
Will Be Greeted Sunday.
Rabbi Leibowitz is scheduled to
arrive in Detroit, at the Michigan
Central, at 4:15 p. m. Sunday. lie
will be greeted at the depot by a
reception committee, which will
proceed with him to the Emanuel
Synagogue, Taylor and Woodrow
Wilson avenue, where he will be
greeted with addresses by rabbis
and laymen. Rabbi Leibowitz
will then deliver his first address
in Detroit.
A committee will be formed
Sunday evening to co-operate with
the guest in gaining the support
of local Jews for his Yeshiva,
which is at present experiencing a
crisis.
Rabbinic Teacher for 50 Years.
Rabbi Leibowitz has for 50
years devoted himself to spread-
ing the knowledge of the Torah
and to the training of rabbinic
students. In spite of his advanced
age, he is considered among the
most energetic advocates of the
Jewish cause, as evidenced by his
distant trip to this country in the
cause of his Yeshiva.

Coming here as the spokesmen
for the Jewish educational systen:

A feature of the reception was
the greeting extended the two
educators by former pupils in

was utilized by guests and local
leaders to urge emphasis on the

Bernard Isaacs, superintendent
of the United Hebrew Schools of

position in world Jewry and which
is today deprived of its right to

Pointing to Lithuania and the
United States as the lands which
are replacing Russia as cultural
centers for Jews, he declared that
"the Jewish national will helped
create a Jewish culture in the
United States." At the same time
he pleaded for encouragement to
the cultural efforts in Lithuania,
"the land that supplied the United

Dr. Feldstein explained the Tar-
