RACIALISM REPUDIATED
The Anthropological Society at its
annual meeting held in Ne,w York recent
ly, joined with the millions of voices pro
testing German policies and German
racial tlheories. The following statement
was issued by the organization:
The American Anthropologial Assccia
tion r ecently formally attacked the
"Aryan" theories ·ojf racialism, declaring
that the terms "Aryan" and "\Semitic"
have "no social significance whatsoever,"
but "simply denote linguistic families."
The thirty-seventh annual conference oJ
the association, whj,ch represents 1,100
American anthropologists, unanimously
approved a resolution asserting that "an
thropology provides no sc~enti.fic basis
for discrimination against any people on
the ground of racial inferiority, religious
affi liation or linguistic heritage."
Prof. Franz Boas of Columbia Univer
silty, dean oIf American anthropologists,
who moved adoption of the resolution,
declared in a statement that Germany
was the most "crude" offender and that
American scientists must strive to pre
SETve academic and intellectual freed om
in the United States. The resolution
follows :
"Whereas, the prime r equisites of
science are the honest and unbiased
search for t ruth and the freedom to pro
claim such truth when discovered and
known, and whereas, anthropology in
many countries, is being conscripted and
its data distorted and misinterpreted to
serve the cause of an unscientitfic racial
ism rather than the cause of truth;
"'Be It Resolved, that the American
Anthropological A ssociation re-pudiates
snc'h racialism and adheres to the follow
ing statement of i acts; (1) Race involves
the inheritance of similar physical vari
ations by large groups of mankind, but
its psychological and cultural connota
t:ons, if they exist, have not been ascer
tained by science. (2) The terms Aryan
and ,Semitic have no racial significance what30C'ver. They simply denote linguis-
tic families . (3) Anthropology provides
no scientific basis for dis~rimination
against any people on the ground oIf
racial inferiority, religious affiliation or
linguistic heritage."
CAN YOU ANSWE R THESE?
(Questions are on Page 5)
1. Although both words derive from
the same Hebrew root, meaning sancti
fication, Kiddush refers to the blessing
over wine in welcoming Sabbaths and
Holy Days, while Kaddish is the prayer
extoll ing God's name which is customaJ!
iiy said by mourners.
2. "Shevuoth" means "weeks". Seven
weeks were counted irom the second
day of Passover, during which time
sheaves of barley were offered in thanksgiving, culminating in the fall festival
of harvest gratitude on the fiftieth day,
ca lled Shevuoth.
3. Confirmation in Judaism is over
a century and a quarter old, having been
mentioned in an ordinance issued by the
Jews of Cassel, Westphalia in 1810,
making it the duty of the rabbi to pre
pare children ior this ·ceremony. It was
first observed in America in 1846 at
Anshe 'Chesed ISynagogue in New York.
4. There are 28 ,books in the Bible.
BABY BLESSING
At the Sabbath -Service, 'May 13th,
Sally Lou Fox infant daughter of Mr.

PANORAMA OF JEWISH ACHIEVEMENT
The Palestine Pavilion at the New York World's Fair is a moving depiction .of J ewish achievement in Palestine.
With separate halls dedicated to Culture and Education, Industry, Labor and New Social Forms, Agr:culture, and Health the exhibit introduces the visitor to the vast sweep of Palestinian advancement. Photomurals depict the transformation olf s.wamps into fertile healthy
country, of barren hills into forests, and
of sand dunes into the city of Tel-Aviv.
The vari ed .agricultural produce of each
month occupy one panel, and the indus
trial creations of fabrics, perfumery,
clothing, le'ather, and the like, another.
Costumed puppets represent the Ohel
and Habimah theatres, and a music ex
h'ibit, -the renowned Pa lestine Symphony Ordlest<l!a-: U • •• .... Jo ••••
An elaborate mural entitled: "4;000
Years of the Hebrew Alphabet" carries
the creation olf the Hebrew word into its
present literary, journalistic -and scienti
fic developments. The graphic portraYlll
of the war on Palestine's diseases ' in
cludes a model of the Hadassah Univer
sity Hospital in J erusalem. Palestine's
energetic attack on the social and eco
nomic problems of today are illustrated
by explanatory graphs of the types of
cooperatives, collective marketing, and
cultural and health programs carried on
by the Labor Organization. All of this
finds its summation in a seperate dio
rama of Palestinian scenes, portions of
whicJ1 are animated ~nd depict before
the visitor's eyes the r eclamation of the
Emek, the growth of Tel-Aviv, 'and the
development of Haifa from an insignifi
cant Arab port into one of the most
magnificent harbors of the Mediterranean.

TRUE CHRISTIAN -SYMPATHY
A Jewish fami ly t hat had recently moved into a small town in the West, was visited by a welcoming co.mmittee frem one 0:£ the 'Churches. After a friendly di scussion, in whi,ch the religious affiliation of the newcom ers was made known to. the ccmmittee, the family recieved the following letter:
"The citizens ef F---, who are convinced that the people of Jewish tfaith in Europe, now suffering such harsh treatment, will sometime enjoy rest from such persecutien, extend their Slll
cere condolence. Cordially,
The Churches ef F---."
EUCLID AVENUE TEMPLE BULLETIN
HARVEST OF FIELD AND SPIRIT
Shevuoth, the Feast of Weeks, in mod
ern J ewish ' !i~e is r eally a combination
of two festivals. One is the harvest
celebration, which in ancient days marked
the rejoicing over the new grain crop,
with a thank-offering of two loaves of
baked bread from tlhis crop. As the name
indicates, Shevuoth is in reality but the
culmination oJ a period of seven "weeks"
of harvest thanksgiving/expressed in
daily offerings of sheaves of barley,
called omer. In the diaspora, as Jews
left farm lands for t he city, and especial
ly in Europe, where the grain harvest
occurs later than in Palestine, the deco
ration of home and synagogue with all
sorts oJ green things and flower s came
to take the place Otf th~ more limited
emphasis on grain. As th~ ag ';r,u l tl1rlll ·gignincanr.p. of the
day declined, its h istoric:al meaning grew.
For Shevuoth, tradition tells us, is the day when the Torah was given on Mount Sinai. It became customary therefore to stay up the whole night' of the festival
reading from a special book containing
introductory and concluding passages of
all the books of the Bible and oIf the
tractates of the Talmud. Legend has it
that the J ews were asleep when God ap
peared on Sinai; therefore they do not
want to be negligent on such an import
ant occasion again. Refonm Judais)U marks the g iving of
the Torah by making it the occasion for
Confirmation, for it is fitting that each
new generation should accept its r elig
ious responsiibilities on the anniversary
of such acceptance by a ll Israel. The
fl oral offerings 0:£ the service preserve
the note of thankfulness to nature in a
halmonious blending of the two mean
ings of the festival.
