H Judaism is to conthuie as a living and throbbing force in the life of Atnericau Jewry, our boys and gir'ls must learn the Hebrew language. The future of our religion and its ideals and principles Is bound up with their educa¬ tion in those, things which will distin- gmsh them from the young people of other denomTnations and faiths. Why should not our hoys and girls at least be familiar with the language in which the Bible—the premier literary production ot the ages—was written?
AVe have drifted too far from our ancestral moorings and have neglected the study of the Law and Prophets; the cultivation of bur own religious and spiritual heritage bas been sadly neg¬ lected.,
American Jewry ia destined to disin-. tegrate and bccoitie entirely assimilated unless herculean efforts are put forth to attract our young people and to imbue them with love for the sacred literary treasures handed down to ns by our an¬ cestors.
Dr. Louis Ginzberg, one of the world's most noted Hebraic scholars, recently said that the "Back to the Synagogue" movement must be preceded by our "Back to the Torah" movement.
Religion devoid of understanding and knowledge is a hollow sham and mock¬ ery. The hope of American Israel is the daily Hebrew School.
.Similar opinions have been expressed by such men as Felix M. Warburg, Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Dr. J, L. Magnes, and the late Louis Marshall.

If   Harry    Houdini   were   alive,   he'd say, "no wonder."    An odd combination , was  this  supcr-niagician—tbis  son  of   a small  town Wisconsin rabbi.
He would iKrforili spiritistic phe¬ nomena which woukI make men like Co- nan Doyle gape w.ith wonder and ex¬ plain : "Yfni have spiritualistic, super¬ natural |)owcrs."
And Harry would say : "Fiddlcnicks! They all can be explained in a natural, common sense way. There is no super¬ natural."
But if Houdinj were assigned a hotel rtiom, tlvc; integers of whose number summed up to l.'t, he would raise a Co- nianche yell. He didn't believe in the supernatural—he wasn't superstitious, but '•LT'—well, he didn't want to, have any¬ thing to do With that number.
Blaming it un the Number And so, I say, If Houdini were here, and reviewing the year 1930, he would say—"no wonder." It.s integers add up to "1-1" Ls it any wonder that. in tlie Jewish world, it was the year of the un¬ fortunate White Paper, and in the.gen¬ eral, tbe bigger world of humanity—the yoar of the stock exchange crash, and general hard times.
Somehow, I, myself, cannot.blame all this bad luck on an innocent combination of numbers, though I am aware, of the professions and philosophy of the modern mimerologists, and know that this num¬ ber monkey business has even a decided Jewish angle—In the Kabbalah, the Aga- dah atid Jewish mystic literature gen¬ erally. ,      ,
When Neysoi McMein, the artist, de¬ clares that she wasn't a success until she so modified her name as to coniorm to this so-called science of numbers, she cnuhr almoi^t go to "the Passover Hag¬ gadah for justification.
Yet, nevertheless, I file my demurrer —but it has been a pediculous year nev¬ ertheless, if you will pardon the expres¬ sion. .
Depression did not hit poetry.
While business may have been bad, however, and troubles have beset us from other directions, I am glad to sfly that bne business is still running on a full time basis. I refer to the manufacture of  Yiddish  poetry.
if you want to know how unimportant after all is this matter of business, 1 suggest that some day you visit some of the Yiddish printers in downtown New| York who cater to the writers of Yjd-j Oish poetry. .J i
The, fact that most of these Yiddish i poems will never be read, except on thosv !*»«.;;tr.;j;\;::p;Trifieamiidr7U§t~can'lfer" frain from reading them to his friends, matters iiot a whit, to these scribes of' the nmse.
I chaiicedto visit' one of these shops' this week. "Have you the Jewish weak-: ness, too?" said one of the poets, toiling' over his proofs. '
"The Jewish weakness"—this writing of verse.
Flowers and Fruits
Plato wanted to deport all poets. "And many of the great Jewish sages have felt siniilarly. The great Maimonides seemed to look down upon poetry with a good deal of contempt, and cveii Yc-, huda Halevy, who himself wrote beauti¬ ful poetry, said a bit disdainfully of the Greek poetry that it had flowers but "not fruit, But despite Plato and Maimonides,. the poets keep "poetizing" in greater profusion than ever. I am told that it has been estimated that there.are enough amateur poets in New York City to make a city almost the size of Indianapolis. And I am speaking by the book when 1 say that a very heavy proportion;would" be the Jewish segment, ; ¦
Everybody's Doing it;! ¦ And even those who aspire nOt quite to the empyrean realms of th^ muse, seem' ynablc now and then to irefrjijin from dabbing in rhyme. The [doctors will.tell you tliat at,one time or aiiother, every person has had tuberculosis, and so, il might be said of "versificosss," It seems that even Einstein Is addilcted to this rhyming business, A fellow ^passen¬ ger on the boat with the Professoj; asked I'.im to write something on the bottom of a sketch, which he had made of ^instein, and this is what Einstein wrotei under¬ neath his picture:
"Dieses fette satte Schwein "Soil   Professor   Einstein   sein."
Loosely translated, I suppose," it would read something like this; -.'     ¦
"This fat, sated swine : ^ .
Is none other than Einstefn." Einstein* Goeihe, and Lin^pln
This habit of detracting of dije's self in rhyme seems to be a fairly c|>mmon- place characteristic of the great; You rtmember Goethe lamented: i
"And here, I stand with all mf lore Poor fool, no wiser than before."
.\iid Lincoln, as a youth, autographed a book something like this:      . ¦ ".\brahain Lincoln, his hand and his [ten; He will he wiser, but God knows'when."
(I believe I must have a word,or two of tbe last wrong, Imt in substai^ce it is right—I am quoting  from memory.)
And   you   recall   Wilson's   rhyme   in which he ao spoke so disparagingly of his own physiognomy; _ ""For beauty, I am no star;
There are others handsomer by far, But my face, I don't mind it,
For I am" behind it; The people in front get the jar.". One of Life's Paradoxes
Theatrical life is suppp^ed.^ib be rather irresp<insible. .\ thousand writers pour out a co'iple of rivers of ink each year painting the !.ordidncss of Broadway. Street of fair weather fne ids. ,As de¬ ceitful as it is SLCluctive. El Cetera and more Ft Cetera,
Yet all tliis to the contrary nolwith- stiirding, I'll wager that If a represen¬ tative group of New York writers were = asked, what is tlie "honestcst," most up-* bribable pai>er in**America, they wndl4 probably agree in awarding the palm to' {Continued on page 4>   ,
