Twenty-five Years After Herzl.
The observance on July 28 (20 days in Tammuz) of
the twenty-fifth anniversary of the death of the great
' leader and founder of the modern Zionist movement,
Dr. Theodor Ilerzl, is an occasion for all Jews con-
cerned in the progress of Palestine's rebirth to take
an accounting of the accomplishments achieved by
Jewish hands.
Had Dr. Herzl lived today he would have seen the
realization of most of his dreams. His "Altneuland,"
written a little over a quarter of a century ago, is no
longer prophecy; it is now reality. What is particu-
larly great about the realization of Herzl's dreams and
ideals is that in Palestine, today, is firmly entrenched
a happy Jewish community. Broken by the pogroms
and persecutions of centuries, the tear-stained Jewish
face, transplanted on Palestine Jewish soil, reveals
nothing but health, physical and mental, and the songs
of the liberation, re-echoing in the hills of Judaea,
sound a note of joy unknown in two thousand years of
Jewish history.
Dr. Herzl's first creation was the Zionist Organi-
zation. Out of it came the great achievements in Pal-
estine, and the joy of these accomplishments brought
pride and happiness to the Jewish communities
throughout the world. It was silly for Jews in many
parts of the world recently to talk about a monument
to Herzl, when the greatest monument possible for
man is in Palestine today speaking to the glory of the
great and immortal leader.
What particularly placed Dr. Herzl to the fore
among all Jews in the past two thousand years, since
the Dispersion, was his deep-rooted faith in his move-
ment and his people. We are told that when Dr. Herzl
felt death approaching he called Professor Ludwig
Stein to his bedside and asked him to take over the
leadership of the Zionist movement. To which Pro-
fessor Stein replied:
"If you could give me your deep faith in the move-
ment, I would be glad to take it over."
But his faith did not blind Dr. Herzl. He knew
that in order to succeed, the Palestine project is de-
pendent upon the will of Jewry. "Wenn ihr wollt ist es
kein maerchen"—"If you will it, it is no dream," he
said. This legend holds sway to this very day. If
the Jewish people wills it, Palestine will be the Jewish
Homeland. An enthusiastic portion of Israel has willed
it, and the result is the present great Palestinian ac-
complishment. Let all Israel will it, and the glory of
Jewish possession will never again be removed from
Zion.
On Making a Will.
lea
Whether it is the superstitious fear of death or lack
of education to the important obligations of individ-
uals after death to their families and the community.
it is a fact that Jews as a class are negligent in making
wills. Mr. Joseph H. Ehrlich, in a communication
which we published in last week's issue, rightfully
urges that our people be educated to the need of leav-
ing legal documents after death for the disposition of
their property, and the importance of this appeal can-
not possibly be overemphasized.
During the past few years it has been the experi-
ence of our immediate community to lose very active
leaders who, had they not been negligent in the mat-
ter of writing wills, would certainly have bequeathed
large sums to worthy institutions. Instead the disposi-
tion of their property, without control of wills, became
sorry messes as a result of which the community suf-
fered, the families were placed in awkward positions,
and a large percentage of the property was wasted in
court actions.
Is it superstition that keeps our people from writ-
ing wills, referred to in Jewish tradition by the Hebrew
term "tzava'ah?" Or is it sheer negligence, as a result
of which the community and the survivors suffer? Re-
gardless of whether it is the one reason or the other,
or both, that account for Jews not writing wills, it is
time our people was trained to change its superstitious
negligence. It is well that the Jewish people be told
that there is Jewish traditional foundation for the writ-
ing of wills, the question of the disposition of property
being discussed at considerable length in Numbers
xxvii. But even without this tradition, modern obli-
gations should compel all Jews to leave such legal doc-
uments after them that will prevent court action in the
disposition of property and will instead guarantee hon-
orable bequests to family and community.
Th
The Cleveland Jewish Center Cue.
The ruling handed down last week by three Cleve-
land judges sitting as a court of appeals in the Jewish
Center case creates a precarious condition for Conserv-
ative synagogues in this country. By upholding the
claims of the Orthodox members that a synagogue
formed for Orthodox purposes cannot have its ritual
changed to that of Conservative without violating a
trust, the three judges opened an avenue for similar
action in other Conservative congregations. Because
every Conservative synagogue was not so long ago an
Orthodox house of worship, just as many Reform tem-
ples had their foundations as Orthodox or Liberal syna-
gogues and may, therefore, similarly be subjected to
the rule of a minority membership if the ruling of the
Cleveland Court of Appeal should serve as a prece-
dent.
But the most unfortunate thing about the Cleve-
land Jewish Center case is that a group of Jews should
'AA
have permitted their feelings to run away with their
better senses to take an internal religious matter
to a civic court and there publicly to air out a private
Jewish affair. Regardless of who is to blame for such
breach of Jewish dignity, the Cleveland affair is an
outrageous display of lack of honor. There were times,
within our own memory, when Jews did not even take
their business disputes to the civic courts, but were
willing to present whatever disputes they hail among
and between them for arbitration to a Beth Din. But
when a matter involving it synagogue ritual is taken to
a non-Jewish court it can Only be interpreted as the
reduction to It minimum of 'the authority of the rabbi-
nate; it can only be interpreted as a direct slam at the
Jewish spiritual leaders whose judgment is ignored
for that of non-Jews.
It is impossible completely to translate the disgust
that comes as it reaction to the Cleveland case. Re-
gardless of the merits or demerits of either side in the
case, the Chillul Hashem of the shameful rebuke to
everything that is holy in Jewish tradition, administered
the rabbinate as well as the entire Jewish community
when the case was taken for action to a non-Jewish
court, cries out in loud terms to those responsible for
this Cleveland spectacle:
"Shame!"
A Signal Honor for Mr. Henry Wineman.
A signal honor has been conferred upon Mr. henry
Wineman, president of the Jewish Welfare Federation
of Detroit, in being chosen one of the non-Zionist group
of .11 to represent this country on the Jewish Agency
for Palestine's reconstruction. The distinction for which
Mr. Wineman was chosen sheds considerable glory on
our community because of the historic importance.of
the Agency for world Jewry and because of the na-
tional prominence of the men chosen to form America's
delegation.
Mr. Wineman has well earned his new honors. His
untiring efforts for the Jewish Welfare Federation and
the Community Fund did not shut out his interest in the
Jewish achievements in Palestine, with the result that
he was among the very first Detroit non-Zionists to
contribute toward Palestine's reconstruction, and to
offer his moral encouragement to the zealots for Pal-
estine's rebirth. his record is a laudable one, and I)e-
troiters have reason to feel proud of their spokesman
on the enlarged World Jewish Agency.
Emma Lazarus—Noble Singer in Israel.
The eightieth anniversary of the birth of Emma
Lazarus, who was chosen ill the leading article in last
week's issue for the title "the mother of American Zion-
ism," serves as an ideal time to rebuke the enemies of
the policy of free immigration to this country.
In 1883, in aid of the Bartholdi Pedestal Fund for
the erection of the Statue of Liberty at Bedloe's, or Lib-
erty Island, at the port of New York, Miss Lazarus
wrote "The New Colossus," which is to this day the
outstanding classical tribute to the United States in the
days when it was a refuge for the oppressed of all na-
tions. "Mother of Exiles," Miss Lazarus named the
"mighty woman with a torch" at the gates to this coun-
try, and at one and the same time pronounced a chal-
lenge to the lands of oppression and hailed this land
which welcomed the oppressed. In the concluding six
lines of this historic fourteen-line poem, Miss Lazarus
makes the Goddess of Liberty speak the following
words:
Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
When, on May 5, 1903, through the graceful act
of Miss Georgina Schuyler, a friend of the late Miss
Lazarus, the memorial bronze tablet bearing this poem
was unveiled at Bedloe's, it was an act of tribute to a
great American and a noble Jewess, and was predes-
tined to serve as a living rebuke to those who are pre-
venting this country from playing the great role it had
in the days of Miss Lazarus and in the years up to the
World War.
In another type of poetic writing, in the verses
which Miss Lazarus wrote as a result of her awaken-
ing, in the eighties of the past century, during the Rus-
sian pogroms, to her people's needs, this poetress has
forever inscribed herself in the annals of the great
women of her race. Convinced that only through the
establishment of an independent Jewish nationality in
Palestine will the Jewish problem be solved, and that
"all suggested solutions other than this are but tem-
porary palliatives," Miss Lazarus contributed some of
the choicest Zionist poems, long before Zionism was
an organized force in Jewish life. "The Crowing of
the Red Cock," "The Banner of the Jew," "By the Wat-
ers of Babylon" and other great pieces of poetry are
among the classics in nationalist Jewish literature. An-
other, "The New Ezekiel," is almost prophetic. In this
one our poetress sings:
What, can these dead bones live, whose sap is dried
By twenty scorching centuries of wrong?
Is this the House of Israel, whose pride
Is as a tale that's told, an ancient song?
Are these ignoble relics all that live
Of psalmist, priest, and prophet? Can the breath
Of very heaven bid these bones revive,
Open the graves and clothe the ribs of death?
Yea. Prophesy, the Lord hath said. Again
Say to the wind, Come forth and breathe afresh,
Even that they may live upon these slain,
And bone to bone shall leap, and flesh to flesh.
The spirit is not dead, proclaim the word,
Where lay dead hones, a host of armed men stand!
I ope your graves, my people, saith the Lord,
And I shall place you living in your land.
Such songs, now being translated into reality by the
pioneers in the Jewish Homeland. make the name of
Emma Lazarus stand out as that of a modern prophet-
ess, and it is no wonder, therefore, that her memory is
being honored by Jews on the eightieth anniversary of
her birth.

Charles If. Joseph
I AM in receipt of a letter from one who siems himself
"Job the Second," but evidently not a man of patience.
In fact he is quite inn.atient with the publicity given to
the large salaries paid some of our rabbis. I had occa-
sion to comment on the $18,000 salary paid the rabbi of
a Conservative Jewish congregation in Chicago. It was
no unusual that I deemed it worthy of mention particu-
larly because example is often contagious and I thought
I might he doing his (Ale:agues of the Orthodox group a
favor. My correspondent says that we never see Rev-
erend Dr, So and So fir Cardinal So and So advertised in
connection with such and such a salary. That is quite
true, but "such and such" a salary. generally speaking
among the non-Jewish congregation , , isn't Sc, much.
UT, my dear sir, I have read with niy (twit eyes several
times front page announcements of unusually high
salaries paid Christian clergymen. And while we are on
the subject let us go a step further. You suggest that
perhaps too much emphasis is placed on ,pulpit salaries.
Men of God should work for the love of God. With this
theory I absolutely disagree. Society is a man.made, not
a God-made institution. Money is also a man-made in-
stitution. And when men labor for God in a world where
men insist that a certain amount of money is necessary
to live decently there is nothing unbecoming, or irre-
ligious in insisting that the congregation pay a decent
price. Too often congregations avoid their obligations
by taking advantage of the traditional theory that rabbis
and Christian clergymen are working fur Cod and there-
fore it's God duty and not tla irs' to provide. It's about
time that such cowardly nonsense be stopped and that
eh rgymen having the same worldly obligati sits as their
fellow-men should be compensated in such a way as to
enable them to live in a self-respecting manner. When
one looks over the salaries paid some ministers (especially
the members of the Christian group) one is inclined to
believe that the lessons of religion haven't made much
of an impression, either on their minds or their hearts.
B
ALWAYS
glad to correct errors. The following come,'
from Della D. Landau of Pittsburgh, Pa.:
May I correct an error in your column? Rabbi
Gold, of Shaareth Israel Congregation is in Dallas,
not Houston, Texas. Likewise the medical schools
of Baylor University are located at Dallas, Texas,
while the academic schools of the same institution
are at Waco, Texas. Last Winter I was fortunate
enough to be in Dallas helping to raise money for
Baylor University at Dallas and the gift of the
Orthodox congregation ($3.000) came, I believe,
as an aftermath of the campaign.
I
T'S queer how our memories work sometimes. What
possible connection is there between an item I hap-
pened to see in a newspaper the other (lay referring to a
man imprisoned 40 years going insane, the Blue Laws,
religion, and a remark I overheard recently in the Tower
of London? It sounds like one of these enigmas found in
books sold for a (lime on newsstands. But there is a
definite connection between them all. While standing in
the Tower of London listening to an explanation of the
torture visited upon Sir Walter Raleigh, a lady standing
directly behind me remarked in a low voice to herself,
"Yes, and we haven't progressed very far; they still tor-
ture human beings in these civilized (lays."
SO WIIEN I read about this man being imprisoned at
the aire of It years—kept in prison for 40 years—a
large part of the time in solitary confinement—with the
result of losing his mind, I recalled the remark I heard
in London. Then my mind immedately leaped to another
item in the sante paper refrerring to the great efforts of
our Fundamentalist Church groups endeavoring to get the
president of the United States to support a movement to
introduce the Blue Laws in the District of Columbia. Then
the thought came to me that here we have men driven
insane through medieval torture, while the religious lead-
ers of the nation are mute, not able to find their tongues.
But they have plenty of time, and plenty of money, and
are able to use their tongues and their pens to plead for
CLOSING THE MOVIES IN WASHINGTON. There you
have the answer to the inefficient functioning of the
organized forces of religion! Society is shot through
with unspeakable suffering, misery, cruelty, inequity and
injustice, yet we find the men of God fighting for non-
essentials! Creeds and dogmas and rites and ritual and
ceremonies--yes, there is plenty of time for all those
things that mean nothing in the sight of God but for the
practical application of the teachings of God to the prob-
lems of life they have no time. And when a few brave
spirits do raise their voices in protest against the evils of
society they are frowned upon as radicals, and let us
whisper it, Bolsheviks!
at last we are beginning to get somewhere
W ELL,
toward developing a community of interest and co-
operative action in American Jewry. For years it has
been more or less of a tragic joke that the most dis-
organized group in American life are the Jews. Some-
one said that the only thing that two Jews are willing to
agree upon it what the third Jew should give to charity.
It is impossible in the space of a paragraph or two to
attempt to review the causes that have created such a
condition of extreme factionalism among a minority
group that needs to promote its solidarity. The inter-
ests of Jewry have often become seriously compromised
because of the fact that there has been such a division of
opinion and of leadership.
SO IT IS extremely significant that the American Jew-
ish Congress and the American Jewish Committee have
appointed committees to meet in the near future to de-
velop some plan where there shall be more unity in deal-
ing with affairs of general Jewish interest. It means
that there will be a closer co-operation between the Or-
thodox and Reformed Jewish factions in meeting prob-
lems that affect the Jews as a whole. I can see the possi-
bility of far-reaching results that will be to the benefit
of the Jewry of the whole world in this peace pact. I
wouldn't be surprised to see the Palestinian movement
favorably affected. But it will serve above all else to do
away with the suspicions and misunderstandings that crop
out whenever Orthodox and Reformed Jews are required
to meet 011 a common ground. It will, I hope, create a
situation where two of the most forceful personalities in
Jewish life, Rabbi Stephen Wise and Louis Marshall,
Esq., will work TOGETHER for the good of Israel. They
are both great Jews and great men and working together
they can to much more good than working apart. It is
consummation devoutly to be wished!
HE
T
following letter from a reader will be discussed in
a later issue:
In your column you request an opinion of your
readers on the question "What effect to religious
Jewish leaders in the Zionist movement have upon
Judaism?"
My opinion is that Zionism has long ceased to
be a purely religious issue. It has become a state
and national issue. Zionism had its birth in a re-
ligious atmosphere perhaps, but then has long
shifted scenes, and now I may say that Zionism
would suffer irreparable losses if we were to pick
its leaders from a religious standpoint only. Do
we not have many Zionists who are not of the
Jewish faith at all? And do they not serve as a
stimulus to our own Jews? We say, is it not won-
derful for these non-Jews to be such true and
faithful Zionists. and therefore our own faith and
zeal in Zionism is strengthened.
The progress of Zionism does not depend so
much on our religion now as it does on practical
and systematic management, and this responsibil-
ity, although lacking in religious faith. You say,
"I really think that one of the most disquieting
factors in the entire Zionist movement has been
the elevation to leadership of a group of outstand-
ing personalities who are not religious Jews," that
this example of indifference to Judaism will influ-
ence others to follow in their footsteps.
My dear Mr. Joseph, it is to be hoped you are
not allowing such harassing thoughts to rob you
of your merited sleep. When a man's religion is
thus easily influenced by the religious attitude of
others, it cannot be very deep rooted and sincere.
Set the very best brains in Zionism to manage
the Zionist movement, regardless of whether they
be religious or not. and I venture to say there will
be no cause for regrets. Zionism today needs di-
plomacy more so than religion; it needs energy,
faith, in its development and wide world co-opera-
tion. These will tend toward snaking our home-
land a reality and what it should be.
WASHINGTON JEWISH
MIRROR
By Ilillel, The Observer
pRESIDENT HOOVER is not as
cold an individual as Calvin
Coolidee pretended to be but he
can keep n "poker face," very for-
tunately. If he told every inter-
viewer just what he thought of
him and his ideas, things might not
be as pleasant around the White
House as they are just now', in
spite of the planks, bricks, cement
and construction laborers covering
the scene. "I'll take it under ad-
visement" is a sensible answer to
offer after listening to a plea for
this or that or the other.
"Please, Mr, President, try to
h:n e Sunday Blue Laws passed for
Washington" is what Herbert
hoover had to listen to one day.
"Please, Mr. President, stop those
cannons and bowlbys from afflict-
ing us free and independent adult ,
of the District of Columbia" was
the echo he received az (lay later.
And so on, and so on.
The antis, by the way, are pre-
paring a vigorous campaign of
bombardment, and we know now
that M. C.'s will hear plenty when
they return, anent the new Lanck-
ford SUMIIIY closing law. Jews
are very active with the antis, not
because they keep Shabbos so dili-
gently, but because of the (mine'
pie involved. Besides, if this la
is foisted on Washington, other
states will have a bad example.
Congress can d o whatever it
pleases to as inni.eent D. C. inhabi-
t a nt.., since it is our board of

In a letter to President Hoover,
Philip W. Austin, secretary of the
District of Columbia Association
Opposed to Blue Laws, requested
that the White Houk( not exert
any influence in the matter until
the people of Washington are
given an opportunity to extinct,.
their sentiments.
"On behalf of the voteless in-
habitants of the District," wrote
Austin, "I certainly trust that, in
it !natter so close to the hearts of

be taken by you without a referen-
dum on the question being first

SPEAKING GEMIXT
The classic language in Mr. Gol-
let's verse reminds us of the large
Jewish political meeting in Bay-
onne, N. J., 15 years ago. The
Jewish leader of the city was to
introduce the governor of the
state, the congressman and the
mayor. But he was not to be
robbed of the opportunity of de-
livering a speech himself. So he
turned to his audience:
"What should it be, Yiddesh

"Yiddesh," yelled half the audi-

"Engulsh," insisted the other
half.

THE JOY OF PEACE
An elderly couple came to a
rabbi to apply for divorce. Asked
for the reason for their sudden de-
sire to break up their home, both
explained that they became in-
volved in a serious fight which re-
sulted in injuries to both, and
neither was anxious to continue to
live under one roof with the other.
When the rabbi learned that the
couple had several grown-up chil-
dren, all of whom were married,
he lectured them severely and ex-
plained to them the shame of peo-
ple in their years applying for di-
vorce. Both man and wife there-
upon listened to the wisdom of
their spiritual leader, made peace
between them and departed hap-
pily.
Two weeks later, however, the
'ample returned with the same re-
quest for a divorce, and following
the same procedure made peace
and departed for their home. But
when they returned again in an-
other fortnight the rabbi asked
how sensible people can continue
to fight continually, and the hus-
band explained:
"If you, rabbi, knew the joy of
making peace, you'd fight with
your wife three times a week, and
not wait for two weeks."

"Oh, I wouldn't worry about

"If your feet were swollen I

A MARQUESS OF READING
STORY
The story is told that the Mar-
quess of Reading, former Viceroy
of India, the funnier Rufus Isaacs,
began his brilliant legal career by
losing his first case.
His client was a fruit merchant
who was sued by a customer who
charged that he sold him a con-
signment of oranges unfit to eat.
Young Mr. Isaacs, (luring cross-
examination, riled the plaintiff to
a point that he shouted:
"Try some of them. I'll give in
if they don't make you sick."
This suggestion was backed by
the judge, who picked the defend-
ant to try his own wares.
"What'll happen if I don't?"
asked Mr. Isaacs' client.
"Judgment will be against you,"
the future Lord Reading told hint.
"Then I'd rather lose," said the
merchant, and thus Rufus Isaacs
lost his first case.
IN THE SAP
The editor of the London Jew-
ish World tells us that a facetious
gentleman of his acquaintance re-

having been invited to distribute
the prizes at the annual gathering.

loftily to one of the pupils, "how
many beans make five?" Up went
a little hand. "Well?" he asked.
"Please, sir," came the reply,
"buying or selling?"
