they never founded a great empire nor built a great
metropolis, have exercised upon a large portion of mankind
an influence, wide-spread, potent and continuous; a people
who have for nearly two thousand years been without country
or organized nationality yet have preserved their identity
and faith through all vicissitudes of time and fortune;
who have been overthrown, crushed, scattered; who have been
ground, as it were, to very dust, and flung to the four
winds of heaven; yet who, though thrones have fallen, and
empires have perished, and creeds have changed, and living
tongues have become dead, still exist with a vitality
seemingly unimpaired; a people who unite the strangest
contradictions; whose annals now blaze with glory, now sound
the depths of shame and woe――the advent of such a people
marks an epoch in the history of the world.’ (Henry George.)
213. Akdomus: Translation of a thought at the beginning of _Akdomus_,
the Aramaic hymn that precedes the Reading of the Law on
Pentecost. I have not been able to discover the name of the
translator.
Rosenfeld: From a forthcoming book of poems, _Songs of
a Pilgrim_ (Jewish Forum Publishing Co., New York). He
is known to the non-Jewish world by his _Songs from the
Ghetto_――powerful descriptions of the New York sweatshop
inferno. This volume has been translated into most Western
languages. ‘It was left for a Russian Jew at the end of
the nineteenth century to see and paint hell in colours not
attempted by anyone since the days of Dante ... the hell
he has not only visited, but that he has lived through.’
(Wiener.)
214. _The Sinaist_, 1, 2. ‘The Torah――our Greatest Benefactor.’
216. _The Sinaist_, 1, 3.
TEPHILLIN
Erect he stands, in fervent prayer,
His body cloaked in silken Tallis;
He seems a king, so free from care,
His wife a queen, his home a palace.
These bands he wears and softly prays,
Devoting strength and mind to God;
His body slowly, gently sways――
He walks the ground his fathers trod.
This daily commune with the Master
Lifts him above mere common clay;
The Jewish heart, like alabaster,
Grows pure and purer every day.
(Aaron Schaffer in _Standard Book of
Jewish Verses_, New York, Dodd, Mead & Co.)
217. _Sun and Shield_――a book of devout thoughts for everyday use.
Bloch Publishing Co., New York.
218. _The Occident_, vol. 12. It is a pity that no selection of
S. R. Hirsch’s Essays has as yet appeared in English.
219. _Sermons_, i. ‘Faith’, the last sermon preached by him. The
Jewish idea of faith is that of fidelity, absolute loyalty
to God. ‘Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him.’
Young Sorley, writing a few days before he fell in battle,
says: ‘Real faith is not that which says “we _must_ win for
our cause is just”; but that which says “our cause is just;
therefore we can disregard defeat”. All outlooks are at
present material, and the unseen value of justice as justice,
independent entirely of results, is forgotten. It is looked
upon merely as an agent for winning battles.’ (_Letters of
Charles Sorley_, 1919.)
220. Halevi’s Ode to Zion is one of the noblest religious poems in
the literature of the World:――
Pure and faithful, ever spotless,
Was his song, even as his soul was;
Soul, that when the Maker fashioned,
With His handiwork delighted.
Straight He kissed the beauteous spirit;
And that kiss of grace, re-echoing,
Fills with music all his singing,
Whom it consecrated――poet. (Heine.)
226. For Israel Baalshem, See Schechter, _Studies_, i. ‘The
Chassidim.’
Joseph: _The Message of Judaism_.
228. _Songs of Zion._ An excellent translation of a poem of great
mystic beauty.
229. This hymn forms part of the New Year Morning Service.
230. _Stories and Pictures._ Peretz inimitably succeeds in revealing
the whole inner world of Chassidic life. The Rebbe referred
to is Nathan ben Naphtali Hertz, a disciple of Nahman of
Bratzlav. The story is also related of R. Moses Sassow.
235. From a Sermon preached at Capetown to a Congregation of
Refugees from the Transvaal during the Boer War.
237. _Service of the Synagogue_, Eve of the Day of Atonement. Only
the last portion of this alphabetic acrostic is given here.
238. From _The Royal Crown_, Gabirol’s best known and most
important composition, containing his thoughts on religion
and philosophy, and expressing all his ardent love of God. In
many congregations, this poem is recited at the conclusion of
the Eve of Atonement (Kol Nidra) Service.
240. _Abodath Yisrael_, by Szold and Jastrow, Philadelphia, 1873.
241. _Poems of Emma Lazarus_, vol. ii.
249. This hymn introduces the concluding service on the Day of
Atonement in the Sephardi Liturgy.
250. _Cusari_, ii, 50. The translation is from Gottheil, _Sun and
Shield_.
252. Joseph: _Judaism as Life and Creed_.
Disraeli: _Tancred_.
253. _Aspects of Judaism_, p. 109.
255. J. Q. R., 1903. For the Yiddish original, See Wiener,
_History_, p. 272.
259. The Menorah――the more correct title would be ‘The Chanukah
Lamp’.
268. In England every morning service closes with this hymn being
recited before the open Ark.

285. _The Literary Remains of Emanuel Deutsch_, ‘The Talmud’, for a

296. _The Discipline of Sorrow_, 1911. ‘The terrible events of life
are great eye-openers. They force us to learn that which it
is wholesome for us to know, but which habitually we try to
ignore, namely, that really we have no claim on a long life;
that we are each of us liable to be called off at any moment,
and that the main point is not how long we live, but with
what meaning we fill the short allotted span――for short it
is at best.
As in every battle, so in the great battle of Humanity,
the fallen and wounded, too, have a share in the victory;
by their sufferings they have helped, and the greenest
wreaths belong to them.’ (Felix Adler in _Life and Destiny_,
New York. McClure, Philips & Co.)

318. Ethics of the Fathers: The fourth chapter ends with the words
of R. Eleazar Hakkappar:――
‘The born are to die and the dead to live on again; and those
who enter the eternal life, to be judged. Therefore, let it
be known, understood and remembered, that He, the Almighty,
is the Maker and the Creator; He is the Discerner, He
the Judge, He the Witness, He the Complainant; and that
He shall judge in the hereafter, before whom there is no
unrighteousness, and no forgetting, no regard for rank, no
taking of bribes. Know that all is according to reckoning.
Let not thy passions persuade thee that the grave will
be a place of refuge for thee. For without thy will wert
thou created, without thy will thou wast born; thou livest
perforce, and perforce thou shalt at last die, and perforce
thou shalt in the future have to give account before the
Supreme King, the Holy One, blessed be He.’
