1. AS THE NEW CENTURY OPENED<br > Henrietta Szold, commenting on the closing year of the<br > nineteenth century, remarked in the American Jewish Year<br > Book (If) that the Jews were parting with that year, and<br > that century, with no regrets. The strides made by anti-<br > Semitism in the second half of the nineteenth century had<br > belied the hopes and ideals its first half had produced. In<br > the next Year Book (Ill), the first year of the twentieth<br > century was described as having been marked in outstanding<br > fashion by the work of the ICA (the Jewish Colonization<br > Association) and by the appearance of the initial volume<br > of The Jewish Encyclopedia. The work of the ICA was<br > acclaimed as "bearing within itself the possibility of far-<br > reaching influence upon the future of the Jewish People<br > as long as the world may endure." The Encyclopedia was<br >hailed as the product of great scholarship, and a sign of<br >the awakening cultural interest of the American Jew. Events<br >were to prove the writer overoptimistic on every count.<br >The twentieth century was to outdo the nineteenth in anti-<br >Semitism. Agricultural colonization was, indeed, to have<br >far-reaching influence; but in Palestine rather than in the<br >lands of the diaspora. The Jewish Encyclopedia proved to be<br >an important work; but infinitely much more labor would<br >have to be undertaken to arouse any considerable interest<br >among the Jews in their cultural heritage.<br >
