His most beautiful and brilliant daughter, Dorothea, married the German philotopher, Schlegel, and together with him became Cath- olic; and hie grandson, the musical prodigy, Felix, was baptized while yet a child. The tomes of his children be- came the literary salons of Ger- many, the meeting place of ar- tists, musicians and men of let- ters, the centers of brilliant con- vereation, the fountain-springs of German creative genius. But all of this was achieved at the cost of Judaism.

Yet, his answer to the king was correct. No man knows where he is going. Dignity la Restored. If Judaism survived it was be- cause after the intense uxciternent about modernity had abated, there asserted itself something which is best termed the Jewish will-to- lire. Another group of young Jews arose who felt that there Was something wasteful and irrespon- sible about the easy abandonmert of Judaism. Did not the Jewish people have a cultural wealth of its own!

Jewish dignity reasserted The floor of apostasy, started by the strange little philosopher who did not know where he was going, has been stayed. The Jew of today senses too keenly the worth of his apiritstal heritage to do what Mendelesohn's children did. The Mendelasohn saga may be viewed as an impor- tant 'sociological experiment. It has taught us one thing definitely. That for the Jew to adopt himself to German, French, English or American culture is no task at all. Given the opportunity, such adap- tation i s 'simple, natural, easy, fast. The Mendebosohne have proved that. The challenging task is for the Jew to remain true to himself. Culture, spirituality, idealism are so rare, Humanity cannot afford to lose any of its spiritual heritages, any of its cul- tural groupings.
