Facing 'Paradox of More Religiousness, Less Religion'

NEW YORK — The "strange
paradox of more religiousness
and less religion" among Amer-
icans of all faiths was cited
Sunday by leading Jewish
scholars as one of the "great
and fateful challenges" being
posed to Catholic, Jewish and
Protestant religious leadership
by the current religious reviv-
al.
The "ambiguity of contem-
porary American religiousness"
was discussed at the two-day
General Assembly of the Syn-
agogue Council of America, at
Earl Hall, Columbia Univer-
sity.
Will Herberg, noted theolo-
gian, asserted that for the Jew-
ish community "the synagogue
is coming to play a more im-
portant and central part in
Jewish life than it has played
since the earliest immigrant
days . . Under the new con-
ditions of American life, even
the secularist Jew who wants
to remain a Jew can do so
only by helping to build up
and finding his place within
a religious community, for only
as a religious •community can
American Jewry survive."
Mr. Herberg, who is adjunct
professor of Judaic studies and
social philosophy at Drew Uni-
versity, Madison, N. J., de-
clared that this fact of identi-
fication as an American through
religion, and the movement to
the suburbs are largely respon-
sible _ for the "return" of the
."third generation" • American
Jew to the Synagogue. "But
though religion is required as
a vehicle of identification and
belonging," he asserted, "we
are confronted today with the
strange paradox of more reli-
giousness and less religion."
' Rabbi Abraham J. Feldman
of Hartford, Conn., president of
the Synagogue Council, con-
ferred the "Annual Award" of
the Council on former Senator
Herbert H. Lehman.
Dr. Max Arzt of New York
City, vice-chancellor of the
Jewish Theological Seminary
of America, asserted "There is
a return to the Synagogue but
not yet a return to Judaisni."
"Our task is to encourage more
thinking and writing on Jew-
ish religion, to inspire relevant
and contemporaneous interpre-
tations of Judaism which
would rouse the Jew from his
present state of adjustment to
genuine religious concern."
Dr. Bernard J. Bamberger,
rabbi of West End Synagogue,
New York, stated that in order
to. win_ "our best young people
who are willing to examine
and even to accept what. Juda-
ism has to offer, we must not
offer a brand of Judaism - that
is intellectually thin and mor-
ally flabby, but rather a solid
message, rooted in knowledge
of Jewish sources." He cau-

tioned against the trend of
transforming synagogues into
"country clubs . . which re-
quire large contributions" and
thereby tending to exclude
"contributors of modest means."
Dr. Emanuel Rackman, rabbi
of Congregation Shaarey Te-
fila, Far Rockaway, N. Y., ex-
pressed concern over "the state
in America becoming a new
deity, and 'needless to say, a
false one."
Rabbi Albert I. Gordon, New-
ton Centre, Mass., noted that
"the ever - increasing enroll-
ment in Hebrew and Sunday
schools, the improved standards
of teaching within those
schools, the finer facilities that
are presently being provided
for instruction of children, may
swing the tide" toward a gen-
uine revival of Judaism.
Dr. Bernard Lander, of Long
Beach, N. Y., acting Dean of
the Graduate School of Yeshiva
University, reviewed available
statistical information and sur-
veys on the Jewish religious
observances and attitudes, and
concluded that "there is a
widespread return to Jewish-
ness, but lamentably, not as yet
to Judaism." He urged organ-
ized religious Jewish institu-
tions to develop education pro-
grams which will inspire a
strong sense of healthy ideolog-
ical conviction on the part of
their adherents.
As a result of industrializa-
tion, urbanization, suburbaniza-
tion, and the struggle for indi-
vidual success, the American
family is undergoing serious
stress and strain, a develop-
ment which calls for urgent at-
tention on the part of religious
