Speakers in a Special Program

Makes Plea for Redemption
of Palestine in His Ad-
dress Here

The emancipation of the Jew in
the 19th century was branded by
Ludwig Lewisohn, eminent author
and lecturer, as a false bargain, in
his address delivered here on Feb.
20 under the auspices of the Men's
Club of Congregation B'nai Moshe,
at the B'nai Moshe.
Describing the fallacies con-
tained in the offers of civil rights
to Jews, Dr. Lewisohn declared
that "emancipation presupposed
the de-Judaization of the Jews.
Emancipation was a Shylock's bar-
gain driven with us. Jews only be-
came second-rate nationals."
Decrying the sacrifices of their
own culture for strange gods by
JeWs, Dr. Lewisohn said: "The
ideal of a high humanity is 'be
yourself; 'be what you were eter-
nally meant to be.' But emancipa-
tion never gave us this right. That
led to the breaking of the Jew's
spirit, to Jewish self-hatred.
"Our spirit was broken my eman-
cipation not because it was emanci-
pation, but because it was not; not
because it was liberal, but because
it was not; not because it was
generous, but because it was not.
Because we wanted to imitate -
therein was the deepest error, the
deepest sin. The most assimilated
Jew is least like the object he
tries to be. An imitation is less like
the thing he tries to imitate than
anything else in the world.
"How can a people save itself
that is sick in soul' and whose
spirits are broken? How are we
going to emancipate ourselves, how
are we going to transcend thip ill-
ness?"
Dr. Lewisohn provided the an-
swer by declaring that instead of
600,000 voters for, delegates to
World Zionist Congresses there
should be 6,000,000 He urged the
strengthening of the Zionist move-
ment and declared that until the
Balfour Declaration there was not
a single organ by which the Jew-
ish people could speak as a unit.
He declared:
"This people can be saved if it
can reconstitute within itself the
will for its own salvation: the
will to live as Israel. The death
wish of so many must be turned
into a life wish."
Dr. Lewisohn declared that the
totalitarian state, whether under
Fascism or Communism, offers us
liquidation either by force or by
absorption. He stated ,that "our
religion is inseparable from our
nationhood, like the adverse and
reverse of a coin."
Dr. Lewisohn was introduced by
Philip Slomovitz, editor of The
Detroit Jewish Chronicle. Kenneth
Fischer, president of the B'nai Mo-
she Men's Club, conducted the ques-
tion and answer period that fol-
lowed the lecture.
