Rabbi Philipson to Atteintd
HUC's 70th Ilirthday Fete
„. CINCINNATI — "Iii this city
stands an 80-year-old temple that
is the authentic cradle of organ-
. ized Reform Judaism" writes Al-
. fred Segal, chairman of the an-
. niversary committee. "There the
Hebrew Union College Was born
70 years ago on this self-same
altar. At this carved pulpit
stood Dr. Isaac M. Wise and pro-
claimed the opening of a semin-
i ary. to train American youth for
the American rabbinate. Dr.
Wise was the founder." •
The date was Oct. 3, 1875 and
of the congregation that assem-
bled there that day only one is
left. He is the venerable Rabbi
David. Philipson who was in the
first class of the Hebrew Union
College; a boy of 13 then.
• Segal continues,
"On Dec. 7,"
"there is to be a great commem-
oration of the birthday in the old
temple. Nothing much • has
changed: in the 70 years, except
that the porcelain candles • in the
chandeliers are illuminated by
electric bulbs instead of by gas.
s Medals for Its _Rabbis
"It's going to. be quite an af-
fair all around the country—this
70th- Omiiversary. There are be-
ing msde commemorative medals
to be. presented by their con-
gregations to the rabbis whom
the College ordained.
"These medals are for distin-
guished. service," says Dr. Julian
Morgenstern, president of the
college; for faithfully carrying,
in leadership, the bright light of
progressive Judaism; for having
kept high in honor the Jewish
name in the Communities in
which these rabbis serve.
"HUC always has taught. its
rabbinical students that today's
life must be fully lived, that the
Page
THE 'JEWISH NEW
function of the rabbi has to do
with the world around him.
475 Men Ordaihed
"'Several years ago- Rabbi Allan
Greene compiled the story of the
475 men who had been ordained
as rabbis at HUC: What they had
done with their ordinations? In
what way had the work of their
lives :fulfilled the ideals of the
College?
"There was the National Farm
School at Doylestown, Pa., that
Rabbi Krauskopf had founded.
His classmate, Rabbi Philipson,
had been the historian of Amer-
ican Jud.aism and in his own city
had attained a revered place; he
was regarded a cherished posses-
sion of the whole city.
"Rabbi Calish of Richmond,
Va. had just retired, acclaimed
by ' his community as one of the
first citizens of Richmond. Rabbi
Ben Frankel had founded the
Bnai Brith's ,Hillel Foundations.
Son of the Founder
"The renowned archaeologist,
.Rabbi Nelson Glueck, who has
made the soil of Palestine reveal
our history, - was ordained at
HUC. Rabbi James G. Heller in
the leadership of United- Pales-
tine. Appeal is of HUC; Rabbi
Jonah Wise,, chairman of the
'Joint Distribution Committee,
was. ordained there. (He is a: son
of Dr. I. M. Wise, the founder.)
"Rabbi. Abba Hillel Silver, No.
1 Zionist leader, came out of the
Hebrew Union College. Dr. Mor-
genstern, is one of its graduates.
"Hebrew. Union College, stands
on a campus of 18 acres and is
contained in a group of four
buildings, and possesses thous-
ands of ancient manuscripts in
its magnificent library."
Archie Greenberg
View's, Purpose of
J.WV Organization
(10 to i S.. Pct. of U., S.' Jewry
Will Have Status of
Veterans, He Writes
"The Jewish War Veterans are
an asset to American Jewry be-
cause by their very existence
they are • a dramatic every day
reminder that Jews are patriotic
Americans," writes Archie H.
Greenberg, national commander
of the Jewish War Veterans of
America.
Pointing out that there are
numerous Jewish organization&
such as Jewish orphanages, Jew-
ish homes for the aged, separate
Jewish charities; etc., Command-
er Greenberg Wiites• "To admit,
and honor, the existence -of these
other Jewish organizations and
then to question the validity -of a
'Jewish. Veterans organization is
illogical and hypocritial.
"The existence of Jewish or-
ganizations, no matter what their
purpose, does not alter the basic
fact that Jews' are Jews because
of religion, and that American
Jews are Americans because of
birth and choice.
"We are a cross-section of the
American -Jewry of the future,"
he writes in regard to the Jew-
ish War Veterans of the U. 'S.,
"because 10 and 15 per cent of
all American Jewry will have the
status of veterans. Rich and poor,
orthodox and reform, good and
bad, we of the JWV are the
American Jewry of the future?'
