Guiding Principles
of Reform Judaism
(CONCLUDED from EDITORIAL PAGE)
of scripture or deciphered from
the records of nature. The new
discoiferies of science, while
replacing the older scientific
views underlying our sacred
literature, do not conflict with
the essential spirit of religion
as manifested in the consecra-
tion of man's will, heart and
mind to the service of God and
of humanity.
2. Cod. The heart of Juda-
ism and its chief contribution
to religion is the doctrine of
the One, living God, who rules
the world through law and love.
In Him all existence has its
creative source and mankind
its ideal of conduct. Though
transcending time and space,
He is the indwelling Presence
of the world. We worship Him
as the Lord of the universe and
as our merciful Father.
3. Man. Judaism affirms that
man is created in the Divine
image. His spirit is immortal.
He is an active co-worker with
God. As a child of God, he is
endowed with moral freedom
and is charged with the re-
sponsibility of overcoming evil
and striving after ideal ends.
4. Torah. God reveals him-
self not only in the majesty,
beauty and orderliness of na-
ture, but also in the vision and
moral striving of the human
spirit. Revelation is a conti-
nuous process, confined to no
one group and to no one age.
Yet the people of Israel,
through its prophets and sages,
achieved unique insight in the
realm of religious truth.
The Torah, both written and
oral, enshrines Israel's ever-
growing consciousness of God
and of the moral law. It pre-
serves the historical precedents,
sanctions and norms of Jewish
life, and seeks to mould it in
the patterns of goodness and of
holiness. Being products of his-
torical processes, certain of its
laws have lost their binding
force with the passing of the
conditions that called them
forth. But as a depository of
permanent spiritual ideals, the
Torah remains the dynamic
source of the life of Israel.
Each age has the obligation to
adapt the teachings of the
Torah to its basic needs in con-
sonance with the genius of
Judaism.
5. Israel. Judaism is the soul
of which Israel is the body.
Living in all parts of the world,
Israel has been held together
by the ties of a common his-
tory, and above all, by the
heritage of faith. Though we
recognize in the group-loyalty
of Jews who have become
estranged from our religious
tradition, a bond which still
unites them with us, we main-
tain that it is by its religion
and for its religion that the
Jewish people has lived. The
non-Jew who accepts our faith
is welcomed as a full member
of the Jewish community.
In all lands where our peo-
ple live, they assume and seek
to share loyally the full duties
and responsibilities of citizen.
ship and to create seats of Jew-
ish knowledge and religion. In
the rehabilitation of Palestine,
the land hallowed by memories
and hopes, we behold the prom-
ise of renewed life for many
of our brethren. We affirm the
obligation of all Jewry to aid
in its upbuilding as a Jewish
homeland by endeavoring to
make it not only a haven of
refuge for the oppressed but
also a center of Jewish culture
and spiritual life.
Throughout the ages it has
been Israel's mission to witness
to the Divine in the face of
every form of paganism and
materialism. We regard it as
our historic task to cooperate
with all men in the establish-
ment of the kingdom of God,
of universal brotherhood, jus-
tice, truth and peace on earth.
This is our Messianic goal.
2. ETHICS.
6. Ethics and Religion. In Juda-
ism religion and morality blend
into an indissoluble unity. Seek-
ing God means to strive after
holiness, righteousness and good-
ness. The love of God is incom-
plete without the love of one's
fellowmen. Judaism emphasizes
the kinship of the human race,
the, sanctity and worth of human'
life and personality and the right
of the individual to freedom and
to the pursuit of his chosen voca-
tion. Justice to all, irrespective
of race, sect or class is the inali-
enable right and the inescapable
obligation of all. The state and
organized government exist in or-
der to further these ends.
7. Social Justice. Judaism seeks
the attainment of a just society
by the application of its teachings
to the economic order; to indus-
try and commerce, and to na-
tional and international affairs.
It aims at the elimination of man-
made misery and suffering, of
poverty and degradation. of tyran-
ny and slavery, or social inequal-
ity and prejudice. of ill-will and
strife. It advocates the promotion
of harmonious relations between
warring classes. on the basis of
equity and justice. and the cre-
ation of condition, under which

vises] that he is excludable be-
cause he is an "assisted alien" or
that he comes within that classi-
fication of persons who are man-
datorily excludable by virtue of
the provisions of the Contract
Labor Law. This law applies to
persons whose migration is In-
duced by an offer of employment
in the United States, employmtnt
of the kind which is not within
the exempt classes.
The person who is afforded the
privilege of leaving Germany by
the issuance of a visa to the
United States or any other for-
eign country is next concerned
with the possibility of taking with
him his personal savings and
property. Since 1931 repeated
enactments have pared-down the
amount of money and the quan-
tity of merchandise that can be
removed from Germany. In the
territorial boundary of Germany
a person is at liberty to treat of
his money in the same manner as
a person in the United States.
However, when he prepared him-
self to leave Germany, he is per-
mitted to take with him a very
limited amount of money. The
balance of his money which re-
mains in Germany is technically
called "Auswanderer Spergutha-
ben." Literally translated it
means "emigrant - blocked - mark-
balance." As soon as this conver
sion takes place the use of this
money in Germany becomes re
stricted and in subject to the di-
rection of the Foreign Exchange
Control Office. It can be con-
verted into foreign cash only af-
ter a most liberal discount. It
may further be used for the pur-
pose of "long-term investments"
in Germany for the following pur-
poses: (a) mortgages on real
estate, (b) for the purchase of
real estate, (c) to purchase life
insurance for the support of his
relatives remaining in Germany.
The further uses for which this
money can be employed are
rather technical in their nature
and It would serve no purpose to
detail them here.
Another leas known but im-
portant method of transferring
money is permitted by allowing
for the exchange of German real
estate for real estate abroad. An
immigrant may purchase from a
German resident real estate
which the latter may own abroad,
or from a person residing abroad
who desires to return to Ger-
many. The only restriction is that
the money be used by the person
receiving it in Germany. This de-
cree also permits an , equal ex-
change of property in Germany
for other property in foreign
countries.

finally destroyed on the tenth, the
Babylonian attack on Jerusalem
began on the ninth, which is the
day that has been remembered
through the centuries.
70 C.E.—The second temple
destroyed: On this day the Jew-
ish nation ceased to exist as a
nation, for with the destruction
of the second temple the conquest
of Jerusalem by the Roman em-
peror Titus became complete. This
time also the culmination of the
tragedy came on the 10th day of
the month; but it was on the
ninth that the Romans net the
fire which • consumed the temple
on the next day.
117 C.E.—Alexandrian Jews
massacred: Until this date the
Jewish community of Alexandria
had been the center of the Judeo-
Hellenic culture. At about this
time, however, the Jews of Egypt
took part in a revolt against the
Romans, in which the Greeks also
had a share. But when a defeated
Greek army was forced to retire
into Alexandria the furious sol-
diers took vengeance on the Jews
of the city, massacring them and
thus destroying not only the Jew-
ish community but the great
period of Greek-Jewish culture as
well.
135 C.E.—Bar Kochba revolt
crushed: It was on the ninth of
Ab in this year that the great
Bar Kochba revolt, which had
been expected to liberate Pales-
tine from its oppressors, was
definitely crushed with the fall of
the city of Betar.
136 C.E.—Final destruction of
Jerusalem: To confirm the con-
quest 6f the Holy City by his
predecessor Titus, the Roman em-
peror Trojan had the site of
Jerusalem ploughed on the ninth
of Ab to symbolize the final de-
struction of the Jewish state.
Thereafter Jerusalem became a
Roman colony which no Jew was
permitted to enter.
1290 C.E.—Jews expelled from
England: July 18 of this year,
falling on the ninth of Ab, was
marked by the issuance of King
Edward l's decree expelling all
Jews from England. Not until
Oliver Cromwell's time were the
Jews permitted to return there.
1306 C.E.—French Jaws ar-
rested prior to expulsion: It was
on July 22, falling on the 10th
of Ab, that Philip the Fair had
the Jews of France imprisoned
and told that they would have
to leave the country within a
month.
1492 C.E.--Spanish Jews en.
polled: The expulsion decree of
Ferdinand and Isabella, signed
some months before. became ef-
fective on July 31, the seventh
of Ab. But, perhaps for historical
reasons, most of the Spanish Jews
appear to have left the country
two days later, on the ninth. The
famous Don Isaac Abarbanel was
one of those who left on that day.
1555 C.E. — Roman Ghetto
established: In accordance with a
papal bill issued by Paul IV the
Jews of Rome were, on July 26
of this year, forced to go to an
pure malice on the part of the
authorities that the date chosen
for this forcible isolation of the
Jews of Rome was the ninth of
Ab.
1671 C.E.—Florentian Ghetto
established: To Grand Duke Cool-
no de Medici the Jews of Flor-
ence owed the institution of the
ghetto. in which they were forced
to live from July 31, 1571—the
ninth of Ab again—until their
19th century emancipation.
1579 C.E.—Joseph Nast Dies:
This famous statesman, who had
risen high in the political life of
Turkey, but who never forgot to
champion the cause of his op-
pressed people and who was per-
haps the first to propose a modern
Jewish settlement in Palestine,
died on the ninth of Ab in this
year.
1630 C.E.—Jews expelled from
Mantua: Having supported the
legitimate heir to the ducal title,
against the claims of the Holy
Roman Emperor Ferdinand II, the
Jews, on the capture of Mantua
by Ferdinand's armies, were ex-
pelled forthwith from the city—
on July 18, the ninth of Ab.
1670 C.E.—Viennese Jews ex-
pelled: On July 28, after observ-
ing the Ninth of Ab on the previ-
ous day, the Jews of Vienna left
the city, in accordance with an
expulsion decree issued by Leo-
pold I five months before.
1684 C.E.—Pogrom in Padua:
Because the Jews of this city con-
ducted the mournful Tishah b'Ab
services on Aug. 4 of this year
instead of joining the rest of the
populace in rejoicing over a
Christian victory over the Turks,
the Paduans attacked the Jewish
community, thus beginning a
series of violent pogroms that
lasted two weeks.
1929 C.E.—Wailing Wall riots:
At the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem,
traditional site of lamentation
over the destruction of the tem-
ple, the bloody Arab-Jewish riots
of 1929 began on the ninth of
Ab when Arab fanatics attacked
Jews after a dispute on the right
Of approach to the Wall.
These grim events are among
the most memorable in Jewish
history, running like a scarlet
thread through the annals of the
Jewish people. Although some of
the most sanguinary chapters of
Jewish history were written in
Poland and Russia. not once did
any major calamity befall the
Jews of those lands on the ninth
of Ab. Nor is there any .record
of such tragedies on Tighe b'Ab
in the New World. Five of them
had their locale in Palestine. Two
others occurred in Turkey and
Egypt. Four took place in Italy
and one each in Australia and
Spain. Curiously enough, only
two were enacted in Western
Europe, one each in England and
France, but none in Germany.

gian fascists, are kaput ... The

human personality may flourish.
It pleads for the safeguarding
of childhood against exploitation.
It champions the cause of all who
work and of their right to an
adequate standard of living. an
prior to the rights of property.
Judaism emphasizes the duty of
charity, and strives for a social
order which will protect men
against the material disabilities
of old age, sickness and unem-
ployment.
8. Peace. Judaism, from the
days of the prophets, has pro-
claimed to mankind the ideal of
universal peace. The spiritual and
physical disarmament of all na-
tions has been one of its essen-
tial teachings. It abhors all via
knee and relies upon moral edu-
cation, love and syinpathy to
secure human progress. It re-
gards justice as the foundation
of the well-being of nations and
the condition of enduring peace.
It urges organized international
action for disarmament. collective
security and world peace.
3. RELIGIOUS PRACTICT
9. The Religious Life. Jewish
life is marked by consecration to
these Ideals of Judaism. It calls
for faithful participation in the
life of the Jewish community as
it finds expression in home, syna-
gogue and school and in all other
agencies that enrich Jewish life
and promote its welfare.
The Home has been and must
continue to be. a stronghold of
Jewish life, hallowed by the spirit
of love and reverence, by moral
discipline and religious observ-
ance and worship.
The Spumye it the oldest
and most democratic institution
In Jewish life. It is the prime
communal agency by which Juda-
ism is fostered and preserved. It
links the Jews of each community
and unites them with al Israel.
The perpetuation of Judaism as
a living force depends upon reli-
gion& knowledge and upon the
Education of each new genera-
tion in our rich cultural and
spiritual heritage.
Prayer is the voice of religion,
the language of faith and aspira-
tion. It directs man's heart and
mind Godward, voices the needs
and hopes of the community, and
reaches out after goals which in-
vest life with supreme value. To
deepen the spiritual life of our
People, we must cultivate the tra-
ditional habit of communion with
God through prayer in both home
and synagogue.
Judaism as • way of life re-
quires in addition to its moral and
spiritual demands, the preserva-
tion of the Sabbath, festivals and
Holy Days, the retention and de-
velopment of such customs, sym-
bols and cremonies as possess in-
spirational value, the cultivation
of distinctive forms of religious
art and music and the use of He-
brew, together with the vernar-
miler, in our worship and instruc-
tion.
These timeless aims and ideals
of our faith we present anew to
a confused and troubled world.
We call upon our fellow Jews to
rededicate themselves to them,
and, in harmony with all men,
hopefully and courageously to
continue Israel's eternal quest
after God and His kingdom.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO
BE A MECHANIC TO FIND
A USED CAR
BARGAIN
HERB are two big reasons why
it's true that "you get a better
used car from a Buick dealer."
First, your Buick dealer has w keep
his prices down so as to move his
used cars quickly. He's pressed for
space. He's doing his biggest busi-
ness in Buick history—selling new
Buicks. He needs the space for more
new Buicks.
Second, your Buick dealer wants
to give you the biggest possible
bargain. He's in business to stay.
He doesn't look upon nu just as
a purchaser—but as a (.0ton:en He
knows that his reputation must
stand back of every sale—and he
to come back again when you want
another car—or a new Buick.
That kind of merchant isn't taking
any chances with your good will!
Great Opportunity!
Never before have Buick dealers
had such fine stocks of used cars.
And it's all because people are so
eager to own new Buicks that
they're trading in cars almost as
good as new.
Your Buick dealer can offer you
easy terms that are genuinely reit-
sonabfe. See him today—and get a
