JUDAISM SHAKEN
BY LEADING RABBI IN . NEW YORK JESUS DECLARED GREAT ETHICAL LEADER New York, December 27. Rabbi Wise, New York’s Jewish leader, shook Judaism to its foundations this week when lie declared that Jesus was a great moral and ethical leader. So sharp was the criticism of Rabbi Wise from all corners of America that he offered to resign the chairmanship of the United Palestine Relief Fund. Wealthy Jewish friends rallied to his side, but that failed to stem the tide of the discussion, and Jewish communities in .many cities are sharply divided as to what stand they should take. Rabbi Gump, of Providence, agrees with Rabbi Wise that Christ was not a mvth, but an ethical light which Judaism - gave the world. —Sydney “Sun” Cable.
