Cohon (Bloch) con- tains chapters which have im- portant changes on Israel and Conservative Judaism, occasion- ed by the establishment of the Jewish state and by the new regulations introduced in Con- servative ranks. While Rabbi Cohon's ap- proaches are announced "ob- jective," it is evident that he writes his interpretations from the Reform point of view. Dealing with the Conservative viewpoint, he asks some pointed questions — whether Conserva- tive Judaism can adhere to tradition without making an idolatry o f tradition, a n d whether it can "save itself from the embrace of nationalism." On the latter score, Dr. Cohon states: "Conservative Judaism is wed- ded to modern Jewish nation- alism. The issue is once more beteween Ezra and the prophets. Ezra, it must be remembered, subordinated 'the holy seed' to the Lord of all." Dealing with Israel, Rabbi Cohon emphasizes that "Israeli is a purely national term:. Is- raelite or Jew are religious terms." It , is clear where the emphasis lies in his book. He makes sharp differentiations between t h e Orthodox and Conservative and the Reform viewpoints, and he challenges the Conservatives as to their traditionalism. Dr. Cohon's most important chapter is on "Why the Jews Rejected Jesus." "Tragically," he writes, "Jesus the Christ is still the Great Divide between Christian and Jew." He explains that "to the liberal Jew . . . . Jesus is subordinated to a host of other teachers and preachers and martyrs of Judaism. He is not the unique teacher; he is one of a great many teachers."
