Abstract:

If it is true that the right of an institution to be called a Jewish institution depends upon the extent to which it asserts Jewish ideals and presents distinctively Jewish tendencies in its activities, then, taking as a barometer of Jewishness, Hanukah celebrations during the Christmas week, there are but four community organizations that have the privilege to be called Jewish institutions.
