Indianapolis Indiana Jewish Post (Newspaper) - April 16, 1965, Indianapolis, IndianaFrida april 16, 1965the National jewish Post and opinion intolerance of jew for jew blasphemy by rabbi m. N. Eisendrath president of the Union of american hebrew congregations Reform at this season of the year thoughtful jews the world Over Tase renewed note of the significance of the passover festival passover summons us to extend an open mind and warmly responsive and receptive heart to All other Peoples no matter How bound they might still be within their own rigid and restrictive doctrines or dogmas. We require in jewish life today that kind of ecumenical spirit which is sweeping Over the whole of Christendom. K fit Stop All instead of being suspicious and grudging in our response to any overtures that Are being made for new insights into that which All Peoples and faiths have in common we ought to be overwhelmingly enthusiastic that a new Day appears to be dawning even in erstwhile most darkened Corners. The a a dog in the Manger attitude adopted in some segments of jewry concerning the Steps a tentative though they May yet b a toward the significant alteration of the Long held viewpoint of the Church concerning the alleged role of the jew in the crucifixion of Jesus is a woeful illustration of the failure of Many of our brother jews to recognize the altogether altered world into which we Are presently entering. It would be lacking in dignity to fall on our Knees in sycophantic gratitude for the Long overdue official exculpate on for a crime we never committed and in the name of which far too Many oceans of blood have been shed Ever to be expiated by any ecclesiastical promulgation.

We need to react to the overture of others of a Popo John for example with at least an equally warm hearted overture of our own. So likewise should Many of our co religionists pause at the passover season to recognize How much of intolerance Ana prejudice remain within our own fold. The vehement and vicious onslaughts on the part of entrench red orthodoxy in Israel against the As yet fragile shoots of a progressive movement there is hardly worthy of those who celebrate the passover feast with its summons Tor the Freedom not merely of our bodies but of o u r conscience and spirit. The diatribes and opposition again on the part of official orthodoxy in the United Stales to those movements a whether Reform or conservative a that Are rescuing countless otherwise wayward jews for our people and our Faith should yield to the summons of the passover message demanding of each one of us to free the spirit and the mind of every vestige of bigotry against our own.
