By ALLEN LESSER

When the definite history of
American Jews is written, a
sizeable proportion of its chap-
ters will have to be devoted to
Bnai Brith.
Founded in New York City
by the same group of spirited
young German Jews that also
founded Temple Emanuel - El-
Bnai Brith spread its roots rap-
idly and firmly in the American
soil. For the young immigrant
in a strange land or the settler
in a new area, it provided a
meeting ground where Jews
could feel socially as well as re-
ligiously at home.
In 1843, when Bnai Brith was
established; John Tyler was
President of the United States.
Its prestige grew, especially
during the War Between the
States, when it intervened suc-
cessfully with President Abra-
ham Lincoln for the establish-
ment of a Jewish chaplaincy
for soldiers and for the with-
drawal of the infamous Order
No. 11. This Order • issued over
the signature of General Ulys-
ses S. Grant in the heat of bat-
tle singled out "Jewish pedlars"
and barred them from following
the Union soldiers into the De-
partment of Tennessee and do-
ing business with them. The
leader of the Bnai Brith dele-
gation that went to see Presi-
dent Lincoln was Simon Wolf,
a Washington attorney, who
early the next century was des-
tined to become President of
Bnai Brith. For many decades
Wolf was one of the chief rep-
resentatives of American Jews
in the nation's capital.
Bnai Brith provided soldiers
for the Union and the Confed-
erate armies. Company C of the
82nd Illinois Infantry Regiment
was recruited and equipped by
Ramah Lodge of Bnai Brith in
Chicago. When President Lin-
coln was assassinated, `Montefi-
ore Lodge in New Ydrk City
draped its charter and lodge
symbols in black cloth and to-
gether with the members of .15
other Bnai Brith lodges marched
in the mourners' parade down
Broadway.
As early as 1851, when Jew-
ish rights in parts of Switzer-
land were restricted, Bnai Brith
protested and called upon our
government to use its good of-
fices in behalf of their breth-
ren. Bnai Brith members also
joined in the protests against
the notorious kidnaping of the
Mortara infant, and against the

persecution of Jews in Damas-
cus. In. 1865 they provided re-
lief funds for the Jews in Pal-
estine, and a few years later
for the pogromized Jews in Ro-
mania.
Bnai Brith, therefore, pre-
Vailed upon President Grant to
appoint Benjamin F. Peixotto,
a former Grand Saar of the
Order, as American Consul to
Romania without salary. Bnai
Brith defrayed all expenses.
Following the Russian pogroms
of 1881, Bnai Brith lodges
throughout the country mobil-
ized their resources to meet the
onrush of East European immi-
grants. When the stream of im-
migration was diverted from
New York to Galveston, Bnai
Brith lodges in Texas organized
resettlement aids. Many of the
techniques and services they de-
veloped were later used to help
resettle immigrants in the 20th
century. Thus, in Philadelphia,
Bnai Brith established a manual
training school where immi-
grants could learn new skills,
thereby anticipating by more
than half a century the work
later carried on so successfully
by ORT. In New York City, Bnai
Brith established the famed
Maimonides Library which was
open to the public. Following the
notorious Kishinev pogroms of
1903, Bnai Brith's extraordinary
success in arousing and stimu-
lating American public senti-
ment forms an indelible page
in American history. A petition
of protest against the tsar's gov-
ernment was signed by hundreds
of thousands of Americans, and
a delegation headed „by Leo N.
Levi, president of Bnai Brith,
was warmly received by Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt.
In 1859, under the inspira-
tion of Rev. Isaac Leeser, Bnai
Brith helped to organize the
Board of Delegates of American
Israelites. Rev. Leeser, a moving
spirit in Bnai Brith and one of
the greatest figures in the his-
tory of American Jewry, was re-
sponsible for the first English
translation of the Bible by Jews
and a founder of what later be-
came the Jewish Publication So-
ciety of America.
Another unusual disclosure is
that the Secretary of Bnai Brith
during the administration of
Leo N. Levi was a young man
from Rochester, N.Y., named
Louis Lipsky. Many other great
names in American Jewry dot
the pages of the archives, the
pioneers, the statesmen, the
scholars,- rabbis and artists,.

Urge Return of Silver
To Active Leadership

JERUSALEM, (ZINS) - "The
present disturbing pOlitical sit-
uation points up sharply the
necessity of again calling for
political backing by Diaspora
J e w r y," Zmanim, Progressive
daily in Israel, asserts editori-
ally. "The name of Dr. Abba
Hillel Silver is mentioned in con-
nection with the political activi-
ties of the Zionist Organization
of America, where he has been
elected Honorary Chairman of
the new Department of Public
Inforniation of the ZOA," the
editorial comments. "It is doubt-
ful whether this is the most ap-
propriate position for him at
this time. There is, however, no
doubt that today, more than
ever before, it is necessary that
Dr. Silver return to active Zion-
ist leadership which would util-
ize to the full his rich experi-:
ence, : prominent position and in-
tellectual power." -
"T h e trend in the United
States in recent years," Zmanim
continues, "cats foir a reevaua-
tion of the ZOA role. Instead
of polemics on Zionist policy, we
should return to Zionist activity.
The current dangers confront-
ing Israel should serve as a
warning to the State and the
Zionist movement in the United
States."
