DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE

LIVING AS A JEW

The problems of the Galuth
and the hope of redemption form
the two primary issues for con-
sideration in a brilliant series of
essays under the title "Living as
a Jew Today," written by Rabbi
Simon Greenberg of liar Zion
Temple of Philadelphia and lec-
turer in education at the Jewish
Theological Seminary of Amer-
ica, and published by Behrman's
Jewish Book House, 1261 Broad-
way, New York.
Rabbi Greenberg is realistic.
He recognizes that there are oth-
er peoples in the world who are
suffering. But he points out with
justice that Jews have suffered
longer than other peoples and
simultaneously in more parts of
the world than any other mi-
nority. His realism leads him to
view the problems of the Jews
not as detached but rather as
parts of the problems of man-
kind. I lin

Among the problems considered
by Rabbi Greenberg are Jewish
education and the upbuilding of
Palestine. He writes: "If Israel
is to share in the blessings of
. . . a world (in which physical
power will be in the possession
of men motivated by a glowing
faith in God and an enthusiastic
attachment to His teachings), we
must at the same time dirpiay
an exemplary zeal now to assist
-the victims of persecutions, now
to build our national homeland,
and now to transmit our spiritual
heritage to our children. These
tasks do not contradict or ex-
clude one another. They are the
irreducible requirements for liv-
ing a whole and meaningful
Jewish life today."
Rabbi Greenberg's book is
scholarly and impressive. There
is a wealth of information drawn
upon the rich storehouse of Jew-
ish 'learning. "Living as a Jew
Today" should make popular
reading in homes and schools.
