A Message on Social Justice

Our Film Folk

-

The Jewish mother faces a peculiar crisis
today. There is a Gordian knot for her to cut
or to tie more tightly. To bring up her child
as a Jew is practically to enclose him in a
physical or psychological ghetto. If she en-
courages him to cut loose from his traditional
mooring, to what harbor can she direct him?

The body of the article itself proceeds
to show how Jews are discriminated
against; how "there is no place in the
United States where the community gives
parity to the Jew and the Nordic"; how,
because Jews are compelled to live on a
quota, their life resolves itself to competi-
tion of one able Jew against the other, with
the exclusion from Gentile environment
almost complete. This Jewish mofher's
problem boils itself down to this in the con-
clusion of the article:

The young modern Jew has neither humility
nor pride in regard to what Is loosely called
his race. Naturally he is pleased that the story
of his ancestry is a fine one in the annals of
history. In spite of thin, the Jewish mother
sees no way to send her child into the world
except on the defensive. Should she do her
part to preserve a Jewishness that has its
meaning for her wholly in the past? Or un-
bound, should she let the youngster drift Into
the world of Nordic domination, even though
he will be regarded by his fellow American
citizens as a renegade and aspires for mere-
tricious goods?

The author of this article did not ask
Jews to make the reply to her query. Here
is a challenge to the non-Jewish neighbor:
"As one of the parents of this extensive
group, deeply troubled and seeking clari-
fication of this problem, I ask enlighten-
ment of my neighbor for the benefit of
whose sons and daughters the quota sys-
tem has obviously been established." Nev-
ertheless we dare to comment and to offer
an opinion.
Perhaps we will make our opinion more
emphatic by quoting another interesting
point from the article "Living on the
Quota":

An instructor in a state university, known
for excellence in his field of study as well as
his utter lack of interest in his racial origin,
was questioned by friends, "Are you going to
bring up your son as • Jew?"
His mordant answer crystallized the convic-
tions of his listeners. "What does it matter
bow I bring him up? When the pogrom starts,
regardless of what are my child's beliefs or the
meaner of his upbringing, he will be counted
among the victims."

If this la true—and history proves that
it is--isn't it criminal on the pareof par-

The Late Jacob Friedburg.

The late Jacob Friedberg was the type
of leader who helped to lend color to the
communal life of Detroit Jewry. Not only
did he possess qualities of leadership and
good practical business sense, but he was
also blessed with a sense of humor.
To work with him, in the causes to which
he so ardently devoted himself, meant to
be inspired Jewishly and to be stimulated
to greater action. The community will
miss him, and his death is particularly the
loss of the United Hebrew Schools and of
the Zionist cause.

Gustave Dore's Centenary

While the Jewish Commandment is
against "graven images," and while the
custom of illustrating the Bible is foreign
to Jews, the centenary of the birth of
Gustave Dore must attract wide attention
in Jewry.
Dore's centenary is being celebrated in
France this summer by a representative
exhibition of his works, at the Parisian
Petit Palais, and a place of honor will be
held in this exhibition by the section which
will show the gifted artist's illustrations of
Biblical themes.
Interesting in the spectacular and the
dramatic, Dore chose hundreds of Biblical
happenings for what will for a long time
remain the most interesting group among
his numerous works. To name the most
interesting of his Biblical illustrations
would mean naming a list entirely too long
for the space at the writer's disposal.
Suffice it to say that Gustave Dore's art
work served to enhance Biblical themes for
many who would otherwise not have been
interested in the Bible. And while this
would not necessarily apply to Jews, the
fact remains that this artist's illustrations
are now important factors in Biblical
literature.
