Anti-Semitism by Invalidation of Old
Testament Is Unmasked by Yehuda

By S. Eachlin
It has been no secret that non.
Jewish "scientific" Bible research,
the so-called "Bible criticism" has
never been anything but a cloak
to cover the most evil and vicious
agitation against Jews. "Bible
criticism" achieved its highest de.
velopment in Germany long be-
fore the Nazis and -their idealogies
appeared on the scene. German
professors, for years, urged the
theory that Jews themselves cre-
ated nothing; that they are a
parasitic people; and that even
the Bible to which the Jews point
with pride is not their own but
had been stolen from others. True
these professors admit that Jews
had their own share in the Bible,
but they maintain that this Jew-
ish share consists of lies and that
therefore the Bible as a historical
document is thoroughly unauthen.
tic.
Unfortunately, some of these
falsehoods spread by the anti-
Semitic "Bible critics" have also
been accepted by the Jewish
world. Many Jewish scholars have
accepted these anti-Jewish the-
odes and repeated them to their
own Jewish audiences.
At last, however, the falsehoods
of these "anti-Semitic scientists"
have been shattered one by one
by the internationally-famous Jew.
ish Egytologist and orientalist,
Professor Abraham Shalom Ye-
huda. Dr. Yehuda, a descendant
of a renowned Safardic family of
Jerusalem, a cousin of the late
David Yellin, who in a series of
works in German and English had
already demonstrated that all an.
ti-Jewish theories of the "Bible
critics" are baseless, has recently
published a Hebrew work on the
same subject. Its title is "Ever
V'arav'".
One of the chief contentions of
the "Bible critics" has been that
the Bible is a falsification of his.
torical events. They have invented
the most farthistic fables in their
attempt to prove that those pass.
ages in the Bible dealing with
Joseph's sojourn and rule in
Egypt is pure fiction. Some of the
"critics" deny the truth of the
Biblical descriptions of Jewish
slavery in Egypt and of the life
of Moses. They point out that
whoever wrote those sections lived
hundreds of years after the event
and that he was, therefore, total-
ly unfamiliar with conditions in
ancient Egypt.
Now comes Dr. Yehuda and
proves that all that ho had writ-
ten on various aspects of the Bible
Is true, while all of the criticism
of the "Bible critics" have little
foundation. Dr. Yehuda is one of
the foremost experts on ancient
Egypt. He demonstrates that the
stories of the Bible relating to
the period were written by per.
sons who actually lived at that
time. Many of the words in Gen.
eats and Exodus whin we now
accept as Hebraic, many idioms
which we today consider to be
pure Hebrew are, in fact, literal
translations from the Egyptian.
Only those who have lived in the
ancient Egyptian environment
could have employed them. Dr.
Yehuda further points out that
the archaeological discoveries of
recent years confirm the truth of
the Bible.
Similarly, Dr. Yehuda has also
shattered many other theories of
the "Bible critics" who employ all
sorts of subterfuge to demon.
strate that Jews have "stolen"
the • idea of one God from the
Egyptians, the Sabbath from the
Babylonians, and the laws of the
Bible from both. VVIth incisive
logic Dr. Yehuda refutes the fan-
tastic statements that there were
two Moses', an Egyptian and a
Jew; that the Walls of Jericho
never fell.
Of special importance are Dr.
Yehuda's monographs concerning
the life of Jews in the world of
Arab culture. The author reveals
unknown incidents of the life and
works of Rabbi Saadih Gaon.
Other chapters deal with the re-
ciprocal Jewish-Arab influences in
the pre-Islamic period as well as
In the era when Mohammedism
was already widespread.

Conference Opens

THE ANTI-SEMITIC HATE PRESS
IS AT IT AGAIN !

LONDON, (JTA) — A warning
to world diplomats who are as-
sembling in Paris for the
Peace Conference opening this
week that "only a far-reaching
and profound spiritual revival
can redeem our otherwise lost
generation," was made by Dr.
Maurice N. Eisendrath, director
of the Union of American He-
brew Congregations, in an address
at the first postwar conference of
the World Union for Progressive
Judaism held here.
Representatives of Liberal Ju-
daism from ten countries attend-
ed the meeting which is being
held under the chairmanship of
former Chief Rabbi Leo Baeck,
of Berlin. Rabbi Baeck charged
that the recent ordeal through
which the Jewish people passed
was in a large measure due to
the fact that responsible people
remained silent instead of extend-
ing help to the Jews.
