Equally prophetic, writes
Graubard, was Bialik's re-
turn to the Hebrew language
after Yiddish. His most mem-
orable achievement may have
been his forging out of the
ancient language a "power-
ful tool for modern Hebrew
education," writes Graubard.
Other articles in "Emuna"
focus on the philosopher Ab-
raham Joshua Heschel, on
Stefan Zweig, on "Leo Baeck,
Teacher of Theresienstadt,"
and on "Religion and Educa-
tion."
In the latter, Dr. Erich
Dauzenroth bases his premise
that religion must be an in-
tegral part of education on
the thinking of the martyred
Polish-Jewish educator and
writer, Janusz Korczak.
Although Korczak came
from a family so assimilated
that it stopped only short of
conversion, he firmly be-
lieved that religion met a
deep-seated need and was in-
dispensable to human devel-
opment. "In a dispute with
a colleague at the Warsaw
Orphanage who was an ar-
dent atheist and unalterably
opposed to any form of reli-
gious instruction, Korczak
asked her pointblank: 'What
will you give them (the chil-
dren) in its place?' "

German Jews, Christians Issue
Biweekly on Israel, Jewish Ideas
The renascence of Jewish
life in postwar Germany is
evidenced by the five-year-
old biweekly "Emuna"
(Faith), published jointly by
the Coordinating Council of
the Societies for Christian and
Jewish Cooperation and the
German-Jewish Organization.
A description of the hi-
weekly and the contents in
the November-December is-
sue—all related to Israel and
the Jewish people—was pro-
vided to The Jewish News by
Dr. Clarissa Fineman, whose
field of specialization is Ger-
man literature.
Dr. Fineman noted, in par-
ticular, an article by Baruch
Graubard on "Chaim Nach-
man Bialik, the Last Poet of
the Diaspora," which speaks
of the Hebrew writer as a
prophet rather than a poet.
Bialik's anger at Russian
persecution of the Jews was
directed not at the perpetra-
tors, with whose murderous
nature one cannot reason,
but at the victims, who
should know that the first
human right is to live. Rea-
lizing early on that the Peo-
ple and Torah are one, Bialik
arrived by intuition at the
idea of Zionist liberation and
the conviction that the Peo-
ple held its fate in its own
hands.
