Excerpt from A Jewish Conference or Congress: Which and Why?Jewish bureaucracy, against the um-jewish spirit of feudalism, against what Professor Horace Kallen has rightly called Jewish mediaevalism, we follow the inspiring leadership of one, who embodies with in his personality much that is finest in Israel and as much more that is finest in Americanism.The truth is that the men who have been good enough to charge themselves with the personal conduct of American Jewish affairs are, I hope for jtheir own sake, big enough to be forbearing with respect to that which is at worst nothing more than a question respecting the adequacy of any group of men to serve as the unchallenged masters of Israel. These men rightly understand that the fundamental question revolves around the right of any self-chosen group of men, however admirable, to act for multitudes without mandate on the one hand and without even having taken counsel with them on the other. These men rightly understand that there is a mighty issue at stake in this critical hour, which at last finds the people resolved to rise to the dignity of self-mastery and self-determina tion. The beginning of the end of the old regime in American Israel of undisputed and autocratic control of the few over the affairs of multitudes is at hand.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
