Du'mow History, Nationalism Essays in New M'S Book

On the eve of its 70th anni-
versary, the Jewish Publication
Society of America has issued
a very important book — Na-
tionalism and History," by Si-
mon Dubnow, edited, with an
introductory essay, by Koppel
S. Pinson.
It is a major work and is
certain to be rated for many
years to come as one of JPS's
outstanding publications.
Few men had such an influ-
ence on their contemporaries
as did Simon Dubnow on the
generation just preceding
World War I. Nationalism,
European history and Jewish
history were the subjects of
his primary interest, and what ;
he said about each still re-
mains eminently worth hear-
ing. Ha defined nationalism as
well as Judaism in cultural
terms, and the Jewish people
as a scattered nation dwelling
within its own cultural boon- ;
daries. His attitude eventually '

Until now all that English-
reading Jews could read of
his major works was his
"History of the Jews in Rus-
sia and Poland," translated
by the late Israel Fried-
laender and published by
the Jewish Publication So-
ciety in 1916-20.
Now at last we shall have
those of his writings; which
though minor in size were ma-
jor in representing his view-
point, collected in one volume.
Here one will find his "Letters
on Judaism," which created
such a stir when originally
published around the turn of
the century; his beautiful es-
say on "Jewish History," which
the Jewish Publication Society
originally published in 1903
and which has long been out
of print; and several intro-
ductory essays to larger works.
The editor of this volume,
Dr. Koppel S. Pinson, has him-
self been a profound student
of Nationalism and Jewish His-
tory. He worked on this book
con amore for he knew that he
was helping - keep alive the
work of a dedicated and pro-
found scholar.

itual legacy of a martyr. For

BMA's Family Plan insures father, mother and chil-
dren (including future arrivals) with one policy, one
premium. And, it combines both protection and savings
in a single convenient plan.

(Translation of column at left,
published by Brit Ivrit Olamit.)

For Dad, $5,000 permanent life insurance protection.
He accumulates a savings fund as he protects the family.
Optional additional monthly family income from $50
to $200.
For Mother, $1,000 term insurance if she is dad's
age more if younger, less if older, until he is 65, or
until his death. It can then be converted to permanent
insurance. If mother dies before dad, her insurance be-
comes payable and, in addition, dad receives an addi-
tional $1,000 of term insurance until he reaches age 65.

We have a maid (helper) at
home, who comes to us twice a
week and helps us to clean our
flat. She lives not far from us
and at twelve o'clock noon,
when she has finished her work
she hurries home.
My wife asked her why she
hurries so. The maid replied
that she has five children at
home, and in addition she has
to look after her husband. He
is a war invalid and they cannot
find suitable work for him.
We were very sorry to hear
of her difficult situation and we
did not know how to help her.
A short while ago she told (us)
with great joy that at last her
husband had gotten a good job.
He will sit in a booth in Jaffa
Road, one of the main streets in
Jerusalem, and will sell stamps,
and coins for a public telephone.
He will get a small monthly sal-
ary and a percentage of the
stamps he sells.
In recent months a large num-
ber of small booths, made of
iron and glass, have been set
up in the streets of the city.
At first I did not know what
they were; I thought that per-
haps in these booths they would
sell drinks and sweets to tour-
ists and to the residents of Jeru-
salem. But after the maid had
told us that her husband would
sit in one of these booths I
understood that they would fill
a far more important function.
Such booths, with public tele-
phones, have been put up not
only in Jerusalem, but in other
cities, both large and small,

—

For Children, $1,000 term insurance for each in-
sured child until age 21, or until dad is age 65, or until
his death — whichever occurs first. At expiration, their
protection may be changed to permanent insurance up
to FIVE TIMES the original amount. Future arrivals
automatically included when they are 14 days old —
without any increase in premium.

Cost: as little as $8.00 a month at age 25 ... $11.04
a month at 35, per unit. You may apply for as many
as three units.
Take this important step to family security now.
