What are the essential as-
pects of Judaism as a religion?
There are seven "strands,"
which make up the fabric of
Judaism: 1) A doctrine concern-
ing God, the universe, and man;
2) A morality for the individual
and society; 3) A regimen of rite,
custom and ceremony; 4) A body
of law; 5) A sacred literature;
6) Institutions through which the
foregoing find expression, and 7)
The people, Israel—central strand
out ,of, which, and about which,
the others are spun.

How do we date the "eman-
cipation" of modern Jewry?
Jewish emancipation dates
from the French revolution, 1789.
For several hundred years before
then, the bulk of European Jews
were almost isolated from the
rest of mankind. Confined to
ghettos, they lived a life of their
own. In the 18th and 19th cen-
turies they 'were "emancipated";
that is to say, made free to live
where they pleased, enter any
occupation they preferred and
participate in the political and
cultural life of their native lands
as they desired.
Is it true that the Golden
Rule has its basis in Jewish
doctrine?
Yes. It is recalled that Hillel,
famed sage who lived just be-
fore the beginning of the Christ-
ian era, was challenged by a
pagan to tell all about Judaism
in the few moments during which
a man might stand on one foot.
Hillel responded, "That which is
unpleasant to thee do not to thy
nieghbor. This is the whole doc-
trine. • The rest is commentary.
Now go forth and learn." In
the second century, Rabbi Akiba,
son of Joseph, found the "great
principle" of Judaism in the com-
mandment laid down in Leviti-
cus: "Thou shalt 1.)ve they neigh-
bor as thyself."
