To the Qeneral Reader. The object of this book is character-building. Nothing can build character more nobly than the Jewish religion. But its ethical aspect must be presented and studied if this, its real purpose, is to be successfully effected. I have in this little work merely attempted to indicate how every enactment and every ceremony of our beloved religion is designed to develop our better or spiritual nature, or as I have already expressed it, to baild character. To Parents. Home example is the most potent. The reverential (I emphasize reverential) discharge of sacred duties, such as home prayers, and religious ceremonies, combined with interest in the childrens religious education, will go far to build up sterling manhood and womanhood. The mother who understands her holy privilege will herself hear her children recite their little prayers, and by judicious praise or rebuke, mould their characters at the most impressionable moments. And the father can best discharge his most sacred responsibilities of fatherhood by personally conducting home devotions at appropriate seasons. To Rabbis or hlinisters. I have presented Judaism from the ethical standpoint. I am confident that all Jewish ministers will welcome any presentation whose object is character building vu.
