The Shekinah Wanders—as early as 1700 years ago, one of the Jewish chroniclers recorded with both pride" and resignation the . wanderjs$s of the Shekinah to and from ten successive centers. What is the Shekinah? Every generation has had its own Shekinali, representing in the rinal analysis the' genius . of the nation.' Since the Kabalah, beginning with the Twelfth" Century, became deeply rooted in the i Jewish mind, the Sheldnah grew into a conception of the all-embracing, supreme intelligence of the Universe. | So it happened that the Shekinah was I not satisfied with ten changes of its ; center; it continuously accompanied the Jewish people in their wanderings. Jerusalem, supplanted by gadj Bagdad by. Kordoba, followed by Montpelier,'. Worms,. Lublin, Vilna and again the German Jew- '• ish communities. If Shekinah is to be taken as the expression of the thing which is peculiar to the Jews, it is nothing but the study of the Nation's genius, the search into the past, the understanding of its literature. German Jewry has to its credit the creation of a modern system of Jewish research, the clarification of the darkest" corners in Jewish history, the rendering accessible the sources of old inspiration. It produced men like Geiger, Zunz, and Jost, who laid the foundation for the Wissenschaft des Judenthum. It is owing to the scientific efforts of German Jewry that the monumental building of* Jewish history could be erected and that the romance of Jewish transformations and adaptations could be retold in a precise manner. Much criticism has been voiced against those who. occupy themselves with historical research and confine their interest wholly to the; past. However, no real • • understanding ;- of present-day Jewish life and no possibility for a continuation of Jewish thought is' imaginable if this^vrqrk is neglected. It would seem that in the- last "few ye&rc this has stopped. The war, with its attending impoverishment uprooted the old established Jewish centers.' Scientific research into Jewish learning stopped; publications of this nature were suspended. Tiit- Shekinah of Jewish research has now landed in America through Cincinnati. It should be sincerely welcomed by American Jews. The first Hebrew Union College annual, containing many valuable contributions towards Jewish lore and philosophy has appeared under the editorship of David Philopson, K. Kohler, Jacob Z'. Lauterbach, Julian Morgenstern, David Neumark and William Rosenau. The nature, of the newly issued annuaj cannot better be expressed than in the words of the Chairman of the board of editors. "It offers convincing testimony to the universality of Jewish learning. Here all diversions of opinion and party merge in the friendly fellowship of true scholarly endeavor, and all geographical and national lines are Obliterated." Indeed they are. * * « Both reform and orthodox seem to b@ determined to make rapid steps in the advancement of American Judaism. The Rabbi Isaak Elchanan Seminary, a strictly orthodox rabbinical seminary, now located on the East Side of New York with very poor, accomodations, has boght % site for the erection of a modern college building for its students. It is stated that the Seminary intends to construct a building which will be large enough to accomodate 1,000 students with class rooms, study ropms, an auditorium, a senior high school, a library and a dormitory. There will also be a campus with playgrounds. This should be' encouraged. A Yeshiva with a campus and playgrounds adapted to the tastes and aspirations of American Jewish youth is a promising innovation. Perhaps the time is not distant when the prediction of many close observers of Jewish life in America will come true. American Jens are perhaps approaching the period when,
