Rabbi L. I. Feuer's
"Jewish Literature
Since the Bible"

For more than three years, The Detroit Jewish
Chronicle has been warning Detroit Jews against irre-
sponsible solicitors who seek readers for an eastern
weekly newspaper on the ground that the money which
is in reality secured for subscriptions is used to fight
Nazism.
Numerous calls made to The Chronicle office by our
readers indicate that these salesmen are not having such
easy sailing, and that most people are aware that there
is misrepresentation in the claims of the solicitors. For
the benefit of others who may not be informed on the
facts, we repeat the warning that these solicitors are sell-
ing them subscriptions to an eastern periodical under
false pretenses.

having for its aim the aspira-
tion of acquainting Jewish chil-
dren with the rich literature writ-
ten by Jews since Biblical times,
Rabbi Leon I. Feur is collecting
extracts which he is publishing un-

frage Congress which she organ-
ized in Budapest in 1913, as well
as correspondent for several im-
portant European dailies she was
living in London on the eve of the
war.
For some time Rozika Schwim-
mer had harbored the fear of a
world conflict — ever since the
Sarajevo assassinations. There was
but one thing to do: Obtain a hear-
ing with the Prime Minister and
discuss the matter with him.
Rozika Schwimmer did this on the
9th of July, 1914. But David Lloyd
George felt that "such official re-
ports as came to hand (lid not seem
to justify the alarmist view she
took of the situation,' (as he later
expressed it in his "War Mem-
oirs") and the incident was soon
forgotten.
But Mme. Schwimmer's in-
stincts were well founded, being
based both on her wide knowledge
of international affairs and per-
sonal contacts with major person-
alities throughout the Continent...
The outbreak of the war found
Rozika Schwimmer in Budapest,
editing the influential and fear-
less Hungarian publication, "The
Woman. "
Into the trenches by the thou-
sands went batches of her litera-
ture pleading with the soldiers to
put down their guns; imploring
them with the truth that a war
ended by military conquest could
not bring permanent peace but con-
tinued unrest and new causes for
future conflict.
Iler appeal — now grown uni-
versally potent — was issued to
"all men, women and organiza-
tions who want to stop the inter-
national massacre at the earliest
possible moment" to prevail upon
the disinterested neutrals to offer

continuous mediation to the bel-
ligerents.
On Ford Peace Ship
In September, 1914, Rozika
Schwimmer visited the United
States bearing with her this mes-
sage of warning from millions of
European women to the people of
the United States: "If you do not
help us end the war in Europe
before the militarists end it, you
too will be drawn in." But to the
people of the United States in 1914
this seemed as incredible an
"alarmist view of the situation"
as had her prophecy to Lloyd
George but a few months before.
The war continued. And Rozika
Schwimmer returned to Europe.
She would conduct a meeting of
the International Congress of
Women at the Hague. Far and
wide echoed her plea for attend-
ance, and in spite of the danger
and terrific obstacles in the spring
of 1915 two thousand women from
war-stricken and neutral nations
met there and resolved that two
delegations be sent: one to the bel-
ligrent nations, headed by Jane
Addams, and another to the neu-
tral nations, under Rozika Schwim-
mer who might present once again
her plea for the neutral states to
offer continuous mediation.
Having presented their plans
before kings, presidents and prime
ministers with assurances of sup-
port. the two delegations met in
the United States in September,
1915, in the anticipation of Wil-
son's approval and the subsequent
formation of a neutral conference.
Wilson's refusal to call the con-
ference doomed all hope for the
cause of peace, and the delegates
returned home hopeless, broken in
spirit. All except Rozika Schwim-
mer. She had met Henry Ford who
had expressed his eagerness to do
something in behalf of the peace
movement. With his backing an
unofficial parley was organized —
which might have the same effect
as the official conference which
Wilson had refused to call. The
problem of transportation for the
American delegates to the confer.
ence was met with the realization
of another dream which Rozika
Schwimmer had long harbored,
namely, the dramatic ''peace ship."
On Dec. 1, 1915, the Oscar II,
chartered by Ford, sailed from
Hoboken. But the group desiring
to prolong the war was powerful,
and aided by a sudden movement
' of dissension within the very
ranks of the pacifists, their bitter
opposition gained following until
it succeeded once more jn bringing
disappointment and irremediable
disaster to a universal hope. The
voyage of the peace ship was a
failure, With accusations flung at
her by enemies of her peace plan
—charges that she was a selfish
adventuress, a swindler and a
German spy—Rozika Schwimmer
returned home, defeated but not
conquered.
It was a few months before the
end of the war. Mme, Schwimmer
played a leading part in the blood-
less coup which overthrew Emperor
Karl and made her friend, Count
Michael Karolyi, president. He
appointment as Hungarian minis-
ter to Switzerland made Rozika
Schwimmer the first woman envoy
in history—which post she re-
tained until Karolyi was ousted by
the Communist putsch. When the
Communist regime, however, was
displaced by the white terror Mme.
Schwimmer, smuggled on a Dan-
ube boat, had to flee to Vienna in
order to escape the fate of other
Jews, Socialists and pacifists who
had been killed by the thousands.
Ill and impoverished she accept-
ed the invitation of American
friends and came to the United
States in 1921. Once again as-
sailed as a Bolshevik agent and an
adventuress who had duped Henry
Ford, advocates of militarism
sought by every means possible to
prevent her making a living by
lecturing and writing. Enemies
knew and feared her power. Clubz
and organizations were secretly
warned against her. Editors rot
jected her articles.
In exile from her native Hun-
gary, and denied citizenship in the
tinted States in 1929 because she
refused to take the oath to bear
arms for her country, Rozika
Schwimmer is today a woman
without a country.
They could stop her from pub-
lishing and lecturing and earning
a living — they could successfully
conduct their campaign so that no
land might be her home — but
they could not stop her from think-
ing — planning — hoping still.
"Find $1,000,000," she says
(Tommy Manville, Doris Duke,
Barbara Hutton could become
saviours of the world with just a
little of what they have, she notes),
"draft adventure-loving youth to
disseminate the new plan in coun-
tries which refuse to participate;
arrange for citizens' committees,
in such countries as Germany and
Italy to escort the dictators to the
best insane asylums ,
"I'd be willing to administer
plans for the conference," says
Rozika Schwimmer on her 60th
birthday, and I could have it un-
der way within a year if I could
only get the money. It's very plain
the peace burden rests on Amer-
ica." '

RABBI LEON I. FEUER

der the title "Jewish Literature
Since the Bible." Part I in this
series was just issued by the Union
of American Hebrew Congrega-
tions ($1.25), This volume already
justifies his effort and adds an
important book to the set of text-
books produced by the press of the
Reform Union.
Rabbi Feuer explains in his fore-
word to this volume that the selec-
tions were made for the specific
purpose of having them used in
religious schools. It is understand-
able, therefore, why, as he writes
"some of the very best Jewish
literary productions had to be
ruled out because they would be
incomprehensible to young read-
ers."
Dr, Emanuel Gamoran, editor
of publications for the Union of
American Hebrew Congregations,
in his introduction to this volume,
points out that this volume is in-
tended for grades 8 and 9 in reli-
gious schools, or for children of 14
and 15. Taking this into consider-
ation, the value of the selections
picked by the author will be all the
more appreciated. Ile covers the
field from the Apocrypha to the
Chassidic period, and incorporates

in this splendid book a selection
from the Apocrypha dealing with
the revolt of the Maccabees and on
honoring parents; an excerpt from
Josephus and a selection from
Rabbi Nathan on the founding of ;
the school of Jabneh. There are
choice ge s from the Mishna, the m
Talmud, the Midrash, Pirke Aboth,
outstanding medieval poets and'
philosophers. In this group is in-
cluded the Medieval Chronicle of
1096 dealing with the Crusades
and taken from Ludwig Lewisohn's
translation as incorporated in "The
Island Within."
Three selections dealing with
medieval persecutions are taken
from Heine's "Itabbi of Dacha-
rach," Shalom Asch's "Kiddush
Ida-Sheen" and an account of the
exodus from Spain. A section on
the Messianic movement deals
with David Reubeni, Shlomo Mal-
ebo, and "The Turkish Messiah"
from Zangwill's "Dreamers of the
Ghetto."
Enhancing this volume and ad-
ding to its importance is the ex-
planatory paragraph that pre-
cedes each selections and helps the
reader and student understand the
source as well as the period with
which the selection deals,
Rabbi Feuer's anthology for
children is an innovation in text-
book literature and should meet
with a fine reception.
"No longer need graduates of
Jewish religious schools be under
the impression that Jewish litera-
ture means the Bible and nothing
more." This was the comment of
a prominent educator on Rabbi
Feuer's new textbook.
"Bound and produced in the at-
tractive style that marks Union
books, and filled with such lively
content, Feuer's "Jewish Literad
tore Since the Bible" is certain to
be a source of pleasurable study
for our confirmants and post-con-
firmants," the principal of one
religious school remarked.

The message of Chanukah needs to be
proclaimed today—even as in ages past—
for the forces of darkness are still ram-
pant. By lighting Chanukah candles this
week the Jew testifies to the immortal
faith of mankind at large—to the faith
that freedom will triumph over persecu-
tion—that darkness must make way for
light—that the world is to be governed
by neither power nor might . . . but by
the divine spirit in man.

Samuel Untermyer's daughter-
in-law, Mrs, Alvin Untermyer, who
no
is quite a horse-fancier, is a grand-
daughter of Sir Frederick Arthur
Willis, noted British soldier who
saw service in the Indian munity...
Speaking of Untermyer, did you
know that he's just as much at
home in a garden as in court? ...
Gardeners at his famous Grey-
stone estate are amazed when he
pops into the greenhouse and asks
for some flower or little cactus he
hasn't noticed for years.
