EUCLID AVENUE TEMPLE BULLETIN

NEW BOOK BY AUTHOR OF "THREE CITIES"

Salvation. By Sholem Asch. Translated by Willa and Edwin Muir.

Sholem Asch has turned back here to a sort of ghetto world of a century ago where, in the midst of pious Jewish pedants and ignorant Jewish menials, there emerged a special and contrasting figure. The presence of this man, J ech­iel, among his co-religionists, and the in­fluence he had over them, are the theme of a quaintly colored yet somehow ani­mated book.

Jechiel's father was a literal-minded student of Jewish law who pored all day over his books while Rifke, his wife, made ends meet at her little stall in the market-place. The family piety was ab­solute: there was no detail of Jewish ritual which they failed to observe, no "biblical exhortation which they did not seek to fu lfill. The young J echiel was a great disappointment to his father be­cause he was an imperfect student and a careless ritualist. He was a radicai, also in hi3 attitude toward his fellow-_ men: he seemed to love them too well to love God properly, and he loved best of all the poor and lowly Jews, not the learned Talmuilie scholars.

His fame greW" as Jhe , number of his "miracles" increased;- and he set so pow­erful an example that the spirit of hu­manit" he preached and practiced crept

. into the lives of his followers, making ~them godfier and kindlier men. When at length he died- at dusk on a Day of

.Atonement, after forcing ,him;;elf to live until services were over-he had become a hallowed and not Quite human figure, an embodiment of saintliness, a dispen­ser of the will and favor of God.

He perhaps more than all the others­subscribed to all the varieties of ritual around which a Jew's life was built; in thou",ht he was not one step ahead 01

his t ime, but in feeling he was far re­moved -from it. It was not law or doc­trine that set his life in motion, but a liberating and enveloping humanity. His "miracles" derived. not from vision on his part but from compassion. In place .of the hair-splitting pedants and cap­tious scholars to whom the J'ews ren­,dered homage, there came into their life a good man who, in Bible phrase, walked in the way of the Lord.

Sholem Asch has made us feel J ech­iel's presence, not indeed with any re­alistic intimacy but after the fashion of an affecting parable. The man's person­ality runs like good oil through layers of dust.

The people of his day lived in 'darkness but were haunted by a quest for light. But the light they sought, Asch apparent­ly means to say, had been extinguished

.long ago. It was the light that Jechiel brought to them-of a profoundly com­passionate humanity-that alone could liberate and that pointed ahead. Jechiel has an added value for us because he represents Asch's own true feelings, and "Salvation" is not the fint book in which Asch has made those feelings palpable.
