Jesus Influenced by Pharisaism, R abbi Umen Says Rabbi Samuel Umen, who now occupies a pulpit in Manchester, N. H., and formerly served the Reform Congregation in Muske- gon, Mich., has devoted much study and research to the sub- ject of Pharisaism, and his book, "Pharisaism and Jesus," pub- lished by Philosophical Library (15 E. 40th, NY16), is a result that has bruoght acclaim from Christians as well as Jews. In the main, Rabbi Umen's book is devoted to analyses of the Pharisees, their manner of interpreting Jewish laws and ad- hering to them.

He points out that "the matter of tradition was the great bone of contention between the Phari- sees and the Sadducees, from the Pharisaic point of view, Torah and Tradition were one and the same . . . The Sadducees, on the other hand, separated Tradition or the Oral Law from the Writ- ten. While the Sadducees saw some need for tradition, they refused, however, to accept the notion that it was equal to the Written Law . . ." After reviewing the signifi- cance in Jewish legal develop- ments and in traditional histori- cal evaluations of the major Jew- ish writings, including all the books in the Wisdom Literature, Rabbi Umen speaks of the Jew- ishness of Jesus, his adherence to the Law, and he asserts that he had come in the spirit of Judaism: "For this was done by the Pharisees right along through Passover Greetings to All Our Friends and Customers ; FINE'S BARBER SHOP Men's and Women's Hair Cutting Men's Manicures Call for Appointment A Friend We wish to take this opportunity to extend to our friends and patrons our greetings and best wishes for a very happy Passover.

My fettered children toil with ach- ing limbs And wearied fingers, brain and spirit bound, Their puny forms are bent; the shadow dims Their straining eyes; their ears are choked with sound, And thick with reek in every breath they draw. I gave them light to see and song to hear. I gave them Truth for guide and Love for law; And thou hast given darkness, blight and fear.

Be warned. The plague may come. The wrong thou dost may breed yet fouler wrong. Those lips may speak in flame that now are dumb; Those feeble hands, through wrath and hatred strong, May rend where they have wrought. Yes, once again Disease. Revolt and Crime may overthrow The Selfishness that bred them. Sons of men, For dread of vengeance, let my people go! * * (Arthur Guiterman (1871-1943) was a writer of light verse which ap- peared in popular magazines before and after World War I. His books were widely read.) Happy Passover El A Voice Unto Pharaoh Pharaoh, Pharaoh, let my people go! In chains unseen but strong, my children slave, Too dull for hopes or dreams, too dumb for prayers. Thou hast robbed them of the youth I gave, The world I made, the joys that should be theirs, Their lives are coined to swell the shining store; Then darest thou plead, "Nay Lord, "I did not know," Still heaping up their burdens more and more?

The fact is that Jesus did not revolutionize Judaism, that he did not bring to it any- thing startling, a teaching which it did not already contain." Rabbi Umen emphasizes that "the spirit of Jesus is Pharisaic," that his attitude toward the Torah "was similar to that of the Rabbis." He states that "he was completely in line with the Rabbinic method of teaching and the spirit of Pharisaism," that "Jesus' approach to the law was Pharisasic." These conclusions, merged in a scholarly analysis of the laws and traditions of the Rabbis of old, gives Rabbi Umen's book special status. LO 7-1600 0 — ow one ono O 800 W.
