X ana me jew a Better cltlsen. the

of American Hebrew Congregations is
planned.
Tnls extension work Is not a
move agamec sly other reHgtsn

megec tke naaraasoened. It
Is tke Jew's btjr effort to reaeli
out a band to hi Jewish brother
or sister In need.
"The unsynagogued Jew Is the great
problem today declared Dr. Nathan
Kress rabbi of the Central synageg.
of New York city speaking before an
audince that filled Temple Mt. Slnat
Tuesday night. He came here with
Manny Strauss a lay worker prom-
inent New Tork business man in the
interest of a fund being raised to
carry forward the work of Judaism n
America.
He told his hearers that the nn-
rssssscd Jew was responsible
for nw-k of the persecution
aealast Jews la America.
Just as any Protestant minister
might plead with his congregation to
go out and bring into the fold the
.rrln. brother or sister this mor-v
rnent it aimed to reacn the Jew who
neds it. No proselyting Is urged in
other fields. It Is s campaign of the
Jew for the Jew; an effort of the
Jew who lives right to see that his
brother and his sister live the same
r av an effort to lift np the Jew mor-
ally for himself for the good it will
do him and his family and at the
snie time show the world that the
Jew is worthy of his world-old re-
ligion. The Jew's Responsibility.
"One congregation boasted to me."
said Dr. Krass. "that of Bosh Hasho-
r.h the most solemn day of the year
for the Jew 100 people were turned
awav from the synagog. J"1
boasted of this as a mark of the
svonderfol service they hold. I asked
what they did for that thousand
turned away and they failed to an-
swer. I'll toll you what they did
for them. They sent them oat onto
the streets into the theaters the pic-1-nTisea
the maces of asause-
r ent. And the Gentile seeing them
in pursuit of pleasures on una n
holiest day In the roar scoffed at
them and called them materialists
and said these Jews are Oodles people.-
They do not reap -ct sack a
Jew they revile him. And you in
your synsgog seats are responsible.
"People of other creeds do not pick
out the bad Jew and revile him. They
measure all Jews by the bad Jew.
3t is the duty of the Jew to reform
the bad Jew In the interest of the
rate of the religion.
Anti-Semitism Here.
