We Are An Humble People

Jewry's greatest asset throughout the
ages has been that we have been an hum-
ble people. We know the value of humil-
ity. It has taught us how to place
cultural values above material wealth, and
how to emphasize the ethical above the
corporeal.
Nevertheless, one of the reasons ascrib-
ed for the spread of anti-Semitism by non-
Jewish observers is that we are flashy;
that we display affluence to the consterna-
tion of the Gentiles; that we are loud and
vociferous. N a t u r all y, we deny these
charges. We maintain that we are not any

name."

opment of the Hebrew University

sions were unfounded. The spirit
