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. swers • * • 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."
