Friday, September 7, 1945 THE JEWISH NEWS Full Scale Support Urged For United Jewish Appeal NEW YORK—Vast tasks in postwar reconstruction overseas and Palestine settlement must be undertaken immediately by the Jews of the U. S. through the instrumentality of the United Jewish Appeal, if the Jewish survivors of war and Hitlerism are to share in the fruits of victory and peace, it `Disciples of Wise' Incorporates Views Of American Rabbis The beliefs and pronounce- ments of American rabbis of the Reform, Conservative and Or- thodox sections regarding main areas of thought are analyzed and compared in "Disciples of the Wise," by Rabbi Joseph Zeitlin, Ph.D., recently pub- lished by the Bureau of Publi- cations, Teachers College, Co- lumbia University, in its con- tributions to education series. Among those who have highly praised the book are such emi- nent clergymen as Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick of the River- side Church; Dr. Mordecai M. Kaplan, professor of homiletics, Jewish Theological Seminary, and Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, president of the Jewish Institute of Religion. The nine major cases on which data were secured via a ques- tionnaire were theology, prob- lems of Jewish life and adjust- ment, the social function of re- ligion, economic reconstruction, education, civil liberties, peace and internationalism, race rela- tioil.), and sex equality and sexual morality. Of the generally-held opin- ions, as deduced by correlating the replies, several are of espe- cial interest. The Conservative and Orthodox groups were pre- ponderantly nationalistic in their approach to Jewish life and problems while the Reform group is about equally divided in this respect. The rabbinate in all its wings was found to be in favor of increasing social re- sponsibility for the welfare and security of the individual and is decidedly pro-labor. The rab- binate unanimously favored so- cial responsibility for extending education beyond its present level. "Disciples of the Wise" is a significant contribution to the study of the forces which fash- ion public opinion in the U.S. Doll and Buggy was declared by Rabbi James G. Heller, Rabbi Jonah B.

Doug- las McArthur, supreme com- mander of the Allied forces in Japan, has issued the following message of greetings to Jews on the occasion of Rosh Hashanah: "The Jewish High Holy Days, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kip- pur, with their emphasis on the Judgment of the Lord and man's need of penitence, are important observances in the year when de- struction and devastation have reached such great proportions. . "Victor and vanquished alike stand under the judgment of Al- mighty God. Efforts and sacri- fices of these years find justifi- cation in a bright new world, and men everywhere must pause in humility and prayer before God. "Your ancient traditional High Holy Days are to all men a wor- thy reminder of Him whose goodness and mercy extend to all m an ind." I believe that Jewish wisdom is more all-human and universal than any other; and this not only because of its immemorial age, not only because it is the firstborn, but also because of the powerful humaneness tha t saturates it, because of its high estimate of man.—Maxim Gorky.
