THE B’NAI B'RITH AS A JUDAI3-
ING AGENCY
*, By ELIEZER BERNE !
Quietly, almost unnoticed in the
hue and cry raised by leaders and
laymen over the rising tide of ignor-
ance and indifference on the part
of Jewish youth to Judaism, a net-
work of Jewish adult education, in-
filtrating into every section of the
country,, is being laid. Its sponsor
is the independent Order B’nai B'rith.
By a happy coincidences the torch
bearer, in one of the gravest crises
in American Israel, is the oldest-Jew-
ish fraternal order in the United
States, whose name is derived from
Sons of the Convenant, the symbol
t>f Whose unity is the .thenorah.
When seventy per cent of the Jew-
ish children in the United States are
totally without Jewish instruction,
When fifty per cent of the totul Jew-
ish population is .unaffiliated with
the synagogue, conservatively esti-.
mated, how alarming is the threat
to Jewish integrity, is patent. It is
of course obvious that if there i, to
be an intelligent understanding of
Jewish life, and a leadership capable
of carrying on the Jewish tradition,
steps strong “and effective must be
taken at once. In concentrating its
resources upon .the adult Jewish pop-
ulation the B’nai B’rith is striking at
the very core of this grave problem,
It is no exaggeration to state that
irreveranCe on the part of the Jew-
ish youth is a reflection of indiffer-
ence in the home, and that the home,
in the future, as in the pant must be-
come a generating 'influence insteud
of the passive factor it is today.
An experience of more than eighty
years, in the arena of Jewish affairs
has brought the B’nai B’rith to this
conclusion. For nine-tenths of its
existence, performing the important
function of a buffer between Gentile
opinion and the Jewish people, in
• the last decade, it hasl undergone a
transition necessitated py. the evolu-
* tion in Jewish life. ^Thc last ten
years have crystallized the need of
concentrating in the internal prob-
lems in Jewish life.. While the dun-
ger of spiritual emptiness lurking
around the corner finds the general
public slumbering, the B’nai B’rith
has undertaken the vital role of at-
tempting to unite the diverse ele-
ments among'its own people, under
the single banner l>f Judaism.
It is proceeding unostentatiously
hut methodically, fully cognizant of
the difficulties before it, hut equally
aware of the splendid goal which suc-
cess means.
With a membership of close to
sixty thousand men, concentrated in
approximately four hundred lodges,
constituting its field of operation, the
B’nai B’rith is today the largest Ju-
daising agency in the United States,
outside of the synagogue.
", , Its battle for the resurgence of
Judaism in America is conducted
from three fronts—maturity, youth
and childhood.
• . Most effective in creating an open-
ing wedge for the rencwnl of Jewish
interest has been a series of public
forums arranged by the lodges asso-
ciated with the order, to which leer
turers of distinction and authority
have been invited. The spokesman
, for rio particular creed, these forums
have constituted themselves a ros-
trum for the most divergent opinions
in' Jewish life. They are an attempt
to show the Jew in his many facets,
on a parity with other peoples, with
an individuality worth of retaining
even at considerable cost.
.A survey of these open forums for
the year 1928 discloses that the av-
erage of meetings for every lodge
has- been three 'for the year. The
Figures further point to an average
attendance of two hundred to each
of these meetings, taking the roun-
4-‘•’Try as a whole. To assemble such a
large percentage of Jewiah men and
ate, is a marked achievement, in it-
seli a stimulus to Jewish conscious-
ness which is the first essential to
an intelligent participation in Jewiah
life. It is interesting to nots that
only five per cent of the lectures
have been devoted to B’nai B'rith
affairs, and a similar percentage to
noli-Jewish affairs, while ninety per
MHt have been concerned with spe-
cific phenomena in Jewish life. '1 he
whole spectrum of Jvwisli life hai
been and. is being mirrored in this
series.

sCihn's “Tin- Island Withi'n" are only
u lew subjects, picked at random,
from the list Which lien H’riths and
their friend'd have been hearing and
discussing. Side by side with them
range more sectarian topics, wiih
which, however, Jewry, together with
ini oilier American elements, must
he concerned. Thus We find H'nai
ll’rith forums discussing with gusto,
the relationship between parents and
children, companionate marriage,
man’s mentality- compared with worn
an's, auto hiking across the conti
heat, astronomy, etc.
Mow successful these forums are
is indicated by the results of a quits

the uppreclalion. If only twenty per
cent of those who attend carry away
u permanent impression, the forums
will huvu-uidri; than justified them
selves. And this percentage is on
ilouhtedly larger.
It is no .reflection on the programs
or those responsible for them to de<
close that those public meetings are
interspersed with dances, dramafic
programs and the like, Medlciil no

of the faetory-hunds recently fined

fenses.

‘‘It is hard to take special measures
but everything militttes against anti-
Semitism. The. entire Soviet attitude
of solving^p." nationalistic question
lies in equalizing U.e jieople in every
sense. But agriculture amonlj the
Jews is proving the most potent
means of sol/ -this question, because
anti-religious feeling was never as
strong in /he ciiif»s as the soil. Al-
rtady its decrease among the peas-
ants is noted, giving promise of a fu-
ture when (‘iots and pogroms will be
only a bitter icmembranee of a dis-
caided regime.'"
1 draw a long breath before asking
the next question—questions pertain-
ing to religion are taboo in this Com-i
munistie ptjuntry whose “idealogy”
does not embrace faith in God.
‘‘Religion in the colonies?” lie
shrugs iiis shoulders. “That question
is considered apart by uhe govern-
ment. The Jews in the colonies can
worship as they please. If they want
synagogues, we will not build them
hut will put no 'obstacles in the .way
of their wiorHip, We will give them
no funds for this purpose-sour mon-
ey is oiily for econortiie measures,
Synagogues are hot found jn thu4" *■
colonies now for no othec. reason
than insufficient means. But reli-
gion goes on,” he a'lds emphatically,
“the people worship in private houses.
"Water' is still a problem in the
colonies,” he continues.. ‘,‘J’his season
there was not even any water in
Heaven. 11 is' necessary to dig Very
deep for wells sometimes hundreds
of metres before water is reached.
The Agro-Joint is doing wonders in
that* respect. They have established
artisiim wells, and now eeaeh cdlopy
has a well worked by an electric
motofj."
"Amcriertn'help,” he replies, with-
put a moment’s reflection. “They
need more money so the funds being
returned by the colonists can be used
to make life easier, for them by es-
tablishing hospitals, schools, clinics
and synagogues. Already this Am-
erican project is making history—for
nothing in the History^ of the Jews
was ever like the present movement
in Crimea and Ukraine. Never be-
fore has Russia dofie anything on
such a large scale. . By all settling
down together, the Jews ViH be able
to form self-go.vernment in their par-
ticular districts, and .eventually have
local Jewish self-government. When-
ever they are ready to form an au-
tonomous district, we shall grant it
to them. That will eo’-incide with So-
viet principles of self-government for
its minorities,.” avers the Vice Presi-
dent of : the first Russian regime
granting Jvwry equal political and
social rights.
As I comment on his sympathetic
loyalty to Jewish problems, Smidb-
vitch -waves me away, saying simply:
“Attending to the needs of our, Jew-
ry is ray duty and 1 devote niysglf
to carrying that out. The colonists
have gripped my sympathy and imag-
ination and so I make their burdens
mine. But you know,”, he adds, sad-
ness tinging his voice, “I am greatly
moved hy the plight of the Jews in
Buchara. No one seems to know
about them or to help in any way,
which makes especially pitiable their
lot. Formerly they were considered
slaves, and forced to walk witfi fopes
around thpir waists as a symbol of
servitudes They were classed lower
than thJ native population and out-
lawed f?Vjn all work and society—
without/ evsm the right to walk on
the sidewalx or to ride a horse!
"Yet, despite their serf-like con-
dition, the worst in the world, they
live exactly as in Biblical days. They
walk about with pride and dignity
almost unbelievable because they
consider themselves the Chosen Pro*
pie. Their women are among tlic
most beautiful I -have ever seen, and
they, too, with their splendid stature
and water potchers oh their should-
ers, seemed to have stepped righf
from the Bible.”
Tenderness fills the grey eyes of
Smidovitch as he continues: “I visit-
ed them last year, and this year too,
and I never saw poverty so dire.
Their left is considerably, improved
by the new regime, for our govern-
ment is giviiig them land; in Middle
Asia, and the Jews in the Caucasus
are giving them .part of their land
on the Black Sea' and in Turkestan.
Groups settled on the'land,” he points
out, “always weather storms better
than any other element of th< popu-
lation.” , a
/When I suggest a message to the
Jews in Artienca, he smiles .for the
first time—a rare smile that is born
in his yes and softens the expression
about his mouth. “I fear they will not
believe the praises of a Bolshevik
official, they may think it is with a
definite after-thought. But as Presi-
dent of the Comzet I want them to
know from me how often the preaa
and public opinion in our country
congratulate the American Jews for
their interest. It is for the good of
their race that the Americana send
money to help their brothers hero.
