Historical traditions bind together the Jewish people the world over, and not national ties and beliefs, declared Philip Guedella, the noted English biographer, at a luncheon given in his honor on Wednesday by Henry Hurwitz, editor of the “Menorah Journal.”
“Jews have a deep sense of the past,” he said, “which fits them politically, to earn the respect of others, and not, as certain Jews have done in Germany, to take on a jingoistic-patriotic coloration. And in spiritual matters the principles of democracy are not applicable—the Jew must have fixed standards in a world of shifting values.”
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
