"And the rabbi of the Council is also quoted as saying that since they cannot find suitable material for the text books for the religious school in Jewish sources, they are going to take some from church text books." "Well," said Joe, "that's broad- minded." "Yes," said Abe, "I am afraid it's a little too broadminded. When you remove the things that are distinctive in a group, it's like having a picture with- out a frame to fence it off." "Just exactly what does the Council for Judaism mean by Judaism, I wonder?" asked Joe. "What do they mean?" re- torted Abe. "Did you ever hear the story of the rabbi of Fiddlum who was summoned by the president of the congrega- tion?" "Doctor, sit down," said t h e president of the schul when the rabbi arrived. "Have a cigar, doctor. The rabbi recognized signs of trouble. You know they always give a condemned man a good meal before they execute him." "Doctor," said the president, "you like Fiddlum, don't you?" "Why shouldn't I like Fidd- lum," asked the rabbi, "You know the story of the rabbi of Vitebsk. He was always very frankly tell- ing the members of his congre- gation what a terrible town Vitebsk was. When he finally decided to settle in Palestine, the members of the congrega- tion, in the traditional manner, escorted him to the outskirts of the city. As he came to the city limits, he looked back and paid a glowing tribute to Vitebsk. "But rabbi," said members of his congregation, "you were al- ways saying that Vitebsk was the most terrible place y o know." "To be sure," said the rabbi, "that was when you were all there, but now that . all of you are out of the city, it's a fine place indeed." "Ha, ha," laughed the Presi- dent. "That's a good story. That's what I like about you, doctor. You've got a sense of humor. I always like a man with a sense of humor. And we don't want to lose you. But your ser- mons lately are hard to take." "Just what did you find ob- jectionable in my sermons?" asked the rabbi. "Well now, last week you preached on Jewish education. You know, doctor, we have no time here for Jewish education. The public schools are good en- ough for us. Take my son, Sey- mour, he goes to the public schools, then he has basketball practice. He has, no time to learn those things about what the Rambam said or the Baal Shem Toy and things like that. "And the Sabbath before, you preached on Sabbath and holi- day observance. It's all very beautiful, but you know this isn't the old country. We can't keep any Sabbath and holidays here." "I see," said the rabbi of Fidd- lum. "I must not preach on Jewish education or observance of the holidays. On what topics may I preach?" "Just preach on Judaism— Judaism," said the president of the schul. "I suppose," said Abe, finish- ing his story, "that the Council for Judaism believes in preach- ing on Judaism — Judaism. But one thing I am sure of, is that any group which finds it neces- sary to borrow from other re- ligious sources, confesses there- by its own lack of inner vital- ity." UN Acts on Nazi Victims' Pleas TEL AVIV, (JTA) — UN Secre- tary General Trygve Lie has of- ficially informed the Israel gov- ernment of all cases of victims of Nazi "scientific" experiments who have requested compensa- tion from the German govern- ment for their sufferings. The list has been turned over to the West German government by.the UN.
