Letter from to Board of Editors American Hebrew Three-page letter responding to an editorial article in the *American Hebrew*. The author refutes the article's claims that Jews are merely a race or nation and not a church, arguing that this view is untrue and could justify past persecutions. The letter details the history of Jewish organizations in the United States and emphasizes the role of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations as the primary voice of American Judaism. The author argues against the idea of a separate Jewish organization within the state for civil and social purposes, concluding that such an entity would invite criticism and potential disenfranchisement.
