Holds Church Duty Found in

Baltimore Rabbi Points to Bible, Tradition as Ethics Guide.

BY RABBI L. ISRAEL Har Sinai Congregation, Baltimore, Md.

con as to whether the churches should be concerned with the social system and to what extent. Doubt less the spectacle of churchmen, particularly of clergymen, devoting themselves with great .-seriousness to this problem has caused confuse. sion in the minds of many people, “What's the idea of ministers of religion interfering in economic, social or political problems?” some may ask. “Why don't they stick to their Bibles and hymn books? Is this just another effort to break down the time-honored American tradition of the separation of church and ‘state? What have clergymen to say of value concerning political matters, anyhow?”

Religion and Social Justice

It would be strange indeed were there not a large complement of folks who react in this manner. The dissidents come, for the greater part, from the reactionary group which is out of sympathy with the ideas expressed. Some, however, although agreeing, may raise the issue on a matter of principle. For the illumination of both these groups, let us ask the reasonefor the concern of present-day religious leaders with these practical problems. The entire Judaeo-Christian ree ligious tradition is a record of the concern of organized religion. with the ethics of everyday life. This is the mutual spiritual heritage of Catholic, Protestant and Jew—priest, pastor or rabbi. The Hebrew Bible, the Old Testa« ment, aboufids with concrete exemplifications of this statement. There are the laws of the Pentateuch, the five books of Moses, which, in the name of God, legislate among other things concerning the manner in which hired labor is to be paid, with public safety legislation, with correct weights and measurass—in other words, with just values. in everyday commercial transactions. The Mosaic law even goes so far as, by implication, to deny any inherent and lasting rights in property. Wite ness the provisions for the Year of Release, which remits debts at the end of seven years—an ancient state ute of limitations—and the law of the Jubilee year, which makes land revert to its original owners every fifty years. ~

Bible Denounces Social Evils

The prophetic heritage is too well kBown to require amplification. In the ‘name of God, there are denounced militaristic foreign allie ances, land and other monopolies, food adulteration, and other forms of economic injustice, either of a flagrant order or what today we would term “chiseling.” The Bible binds religious faith and social justice. into an insepe arable oneness. Out of a faith in the Fatherhood of God, there flows inevitably the corollary of the brotherhood of man. All men are members of one family, regardless of the differences of race or station. As within the liferal family, there are certain inalienable rights of

py | Which no member, no matter how

weak or apparently insignificant, can justly be deprived, so in the larger human family, the individual members have inalienable rights which may not be violated by cunning, consciencelessness or force, And if such violation takes place, it requires condemnation in the name of God, because by the very act of injustice. The Fatherhood of God is violated. Contem social injustice is a violation of basic human rights, and hence of the fundamental principle of religious philosophy. The pulpit of today has no alternative but_to face the challenge, and ine terpret ethics as applied to thé eco Homie, social and political life of ie Ye
