Mordecai Manual Noah Sets Up
Jewish State on. Grand Island

12—THE JEWISH NEWS
Friday, February 23, 1951

Plan Spring Wedding

OW'

BUFFALO, N.Y., Sept. 2, 1825—
The Jewish state was officially
proclaimed today at an impres-
sive ceremony here. Self- ap-
pointed Governor and Judge of
Israel Mordecai M. Noah issued
his proclamation to the Jews of
the world- this morning at 11
a.m.
Mr. Noah's proclamation to
the Jews announces the estab-
lishment of the long-sought Jew-
ish homeland to be established
as the city of Ararat on Grand
Island. Grand Island about
eight miles long and three to
seven miles across and is situ-
ated on the Niagara River just
off Buffalo. Mr. Noah named his
future Jewish city after the
name of-- Mount Ararat upon
which according to biblical le-
gend was the landing site of
Noah's Ark.

The ceremonies this day
mark .the culmination, of Mr.
Noah's long-nurtured dream
of establishing a Jewish state
or colony as a refuge for per-
secuted Jewry the world over.
Mr. Noah is a prominent cit-
izen. in New York having dis-
tinguished himself in the gov-
ernment service when in his
post as Consul General for the
United States to the Kingdom
-of Tunis on the Coast of Bar-
bary he cleverly obtained the
release of many impressed
American seamen and made
America respected along the
Barbary Coast.

This Jewish citizen publishes
"the National Advocate" in New
York City and has been fore-
most in political affairs. Tlie
time has come at last when the
day comes to actively proclaim
the refuge for his co-religionists
under the constitution and pro-
tection of the United States.
For two days now, people from
miles around have been con-
verging on the little town of
Buffalo in an effort to see the
formal ceremony of laying the
corner-stone for the first build-
ing of the city of Ararat on
Grand Island. However it was
impossible to procure enough
boats to transport the whole
crowd to the island- so plans
have been made to hold the
stone-laying ceremony in Buf-
falo inside St. Paul's church in
this little town of 2000 people.
Posterity may take note that the
Jewish state was formally pro-
claimed within a Protestant
church.

It was largely through Mr.
Noah's efforts that 'land had
been purchased for the pros-
pective Jewish community. His
friend, Samuel Liggett, brought
2550 acres on the island for
$4.38 per acre. There are many
who attested to the fertility
of the soil there and predict
that the settlement will 'be
successful.

• The ceremony was an impres-
sive one for the crowds. A can-
nonade Was fired at dawn to
mark the significance of the
day. At 10 a.m. bands, masons,
soldiers,and marchers took their
place in a grand parade which
wended its way through the
town to the liftle Protestant
church where both organ and
bands 'boomed patriotic airs.
They were colorful indeed in all
their regalia. In the place of
honor among the marchers was
Mr. Noah, the self-appointed
Judge of Israel, wearing judicial
robes of crimson silk with er-
mine trimmings. and a richly-
embossed golden medal around
his neck.
At the church, the climax of
the ceremony had arrived. Mor-
decai Noah, first ruler of Ara-
rat, ascended the platform to
deliver his—what well may be-
come famous - proclamation to
the Jews. This proclamation was
remarkable if not startling.

He called upon all the Jews
of the world to recognize their
new home land and him as
their first ruler and Judge.
By royal leave, he allowed
them to stay where _they_ were
in their respective countries if
they- so preferred. He called
for a complete census and a
per Capita tax of three shekels
for every. 'Jew in' the world ter

fill the treasury of the newly-
established state.

He announced to all Jewish
soldiers serving under foreign
flags that they were to remain
at their posts until further or-
ders. A strict neutrality was de-
manded for Jews in the ensuing
wars between Greece and Tur-
key because of possible reprisals
to Jews under the yoke of the
Ottoman Empire.

A startling clause in the
proclamation called upon the
Indians of the American con-
tinent to recognize their Jew-
ish ancestry. Mr. Noah bases
this demand on bits of anthro-
pological' evidence that the
American Indians have an
Oriental background a n d
therefore are of the Ten Lost
Tribes of Israel. Polygamy as
was practiced among certain
JeWish tribes- in Africa was
forbidden and abolished.

As 'a final step in the effective
establishment of Ararat, Mr.
Noah named most of the leaders
of European Jewry as his com-
missioners.
It was a gram.: and bold stroke
of action done today. But whe-
ther it will be cf any avail re-
mains to be seen. Word has just
arrived from some of the chief
rabbis who received advance no-
tice of the proclamation. Much
to Mr. Noah's surprise, these
great and learned men turned
down the proposals in no un-
certain terms. The rabbinic
leaders denounced the scheme
as a premature human attempt.
This, some of them say, is
against sacred law which states
that God in his own time will
call together the Jews from all
nations before the end of the
world comes to pass. Whether
this is a general reaction is un-
known
American Jewry - is still cold to
the idea. As far as we have been
able to learn there has been no
substantial support from leaders
of American Jewry. It is whis-
pered that most Jewisb laymen
scoff at the man who would be
their first ruler.
Observers tend to feel that the
Ararat project of Mr. Mordecai
Noah is ill-fated. Posterity alone
can tell us whether Mr. Noah's
efforts are the - beginning steps
in the biblically-predicted Jew-
ish state or simply a collosal
farce.
