74 The International jew
Interference with the religion of others, and the Jews' determination to
wipe out of public life every sign of the predominant Christian character
of the United States, is the only active form of religious intolerance in the
country today. Not content with the fullest liberty to follow their own
faith in peace and quietness, in a country where none dare make them
afraid, the Jews declare-we read it in their activities- that every sight
and sound of anything Christian is an invasion of their peace and
quietness, and so they stamp it out wherever they can reach it through
political means. To what lengths this spirit may run is shown in the

The best educated members are those who come from the Eastern
European ghettos where the Kehillah idea was fully understood and
practiced and where . Jewish-community-government exercised
unrestricted sway . Whatev,er other phase of education the Kehillah may
be interested in, it certainly stresses most the education to separateness.
Dr. S. Benderley, director of the Bureau of Education, gave away the
objects of the Kehillah "education" thus:
"The problem before us was to form a body of young Jews who
should be on the one hand true Americans, a part of this republic,
with an intense interest in building up American ideals; and yet, on
the other hand, be also Jews in Jove with the best of their own
