Against Tampering
With Piety, Customs
By PHILO JUDEAUS
In the same way, if we add any-
thing great or small to piety, which
is the Queen of Virtues, or take
anything away, we mar it and
change its form. Addition will en-
gender superstition, and diminu-
tion impiety—and thus true piety
will disappear. And since true
piety is the cause of the greatest
of good, inducing in us a knowl-
edge of our conduct toward God,
which is a thing more royal and
kingly than any public office or
distinction, we should seek it
above all other goods. . . .
Further, Moses lays down an-
other general command, "Do not
remove the boundary stone of thy
neighbor, which thy ancestors have
set up." This, methinks, does not
refer merely to inheritances and
the boundary of land, but it is
ordained with a view to the pres-
ervation of ancient customs. For
customs are unwritten laws, the
decrees of men of old, not carved
indeed upon pillars and inscribed
upon parchment, but engraved upon
the souls of the generations who
through the ages maintain the
chosen community. Children should
accept the ancestral customs as
part of their inheritance, for they
were reared on them, and lived on
them from their swaddling days,
and they should not neglect them
merely because the tradition is not
written. The man who obeys the
written laws is not, indeed, worthy
of praise, for he may be con-
strained thereto by fear of punish-
ment. But he who holds fast to the
unwritten laws gives proof of a
voluntary goodness and is worthy
trf our eulogy.
Kaddish Once Was a
Schoolroom Prayer
By RABBI EMANUEL ROSE
The most revered of all Jewish
prayers, The Kaddish, or Mourner's
Prayer, has had a striking history
that illuminates its significance.
Originally it was a prayer of the
schoolroom in the old Babylonian
academies. There, when an impor-
tant religious book or lesson was
finished, the head Rabbi would re-
cite it as a blessing or dismissal.
It betokened that something sig-
nificant and precious had been
Completed.
The Kaddish comprises three
parts: A hymn of praise to God
for the glories of the world which
He has created, namely, "Magni-
fied and sanctified be His great
name, in the world which He has
created according to His-will"; a
hope — that even as this lesson
has been completed, so may God
speedily complete His work among
men, expressed in the words, "May
He establish His kingdom during
your life and during your days,
and during the life of all the House
of Israel, even speedily and soon,
and say ye, Amen"; a benediction,
"May there be abundant peace from
heaven, and life for us and for all
Israel."
As the great power of this prayer
became more deeply sensed, it was
incorporated as a concluding bene-
diction to the regular synagogue
service. Later, it was uttered at
the death of a great scholar — for
the Rabbis felt that just as it was
fitting at the completion of a wor-
thy book, so it could be appropri-
ately applied to the completion of
a worthy life. From this time on,
its usage widened until it became
the general prayer for all who are
bereaved.
