Leo Baeck

EO BAECK became the spokesman of German Jewry before his leadership Li was put to its test. Few Jewish communities and few periods in Jewish history know of a position comparable to that which he held. Certainly, the long and colorful history of the German Jews had no precedent for it. He came to the fore when the Jewish people in Germany began to be torn between conflicting ideologies and divided by factions; when united action in the face of rising dangers, though essential, was seemingly unattainable. It was in the personality of Leo Baeck and through him that warring move- ments and parties arrived at a measure of consent. Moreover, the common acknowledgment of his leadership did not derive from the authority vested in the offices which he held; rather it was his stature that gave added mean- ing and importance to them. He inspired confidence and respect. In the early days of the Nazi regime when the "orderly" liquidation of the Jews was still the avowed goal of German policy, the Gestapo, dissatisfied with the slow progress of emigration attempted to remove Baeck as the head of the Reichsvertretung (the representative body of German Jewry vis a vis the German government), or, at least, to relegate him to a corner. Although there were in Baeck's official family men of high caliber, efficiency, and integrity, like the martyred Otto Hirsch, none of them could have served as symbol of unity as he did. Leo Baeck was born the son of a rabbi in Lissa in the province of Posen. Throughout modern history Posen was one of the bridges between East and West and a reservoir of Jewishness. Not being endowed with beauty of scenery, it had little to distract a student. Young people there grew up in an air of rationalistic traditionalism and in Prussian discipline. Leo Baeck studied at the Jewish Theological Seminary in Breslau and at the Hochschule in Berlin. His apprenticeship in the rabbinate—if such a term can be used for one so early accomplished—led him from Oppeln in Upper Silesia to Duesseldorf, a thriving industrial and cultural center in the West. Shortly before World War I, during which he served as field chaplain, he accepted a call to Berlin. Berlin was not to the Jews of Germany what Vienna, London, and New York were and still are to the Jewries of their respective countries. One of the characteristic and healthy features of German Jewish life was the large number of kehillot (community councils) which were independent entities, self-sufficient in the spheres of culture, religion and social work. They did not have to look to Berlin for leadership; if anything, their relation to Berlin was one of antagonism. This independence and initiative they main- tained until the eve of destruction. Still, Berlin had the biggest Jewish population, which was swelled by a constant influx from small towns and 478 LEO BAECK. 479 cities and a steady flow of immigrants and temporary residents from Poland and Russia. There were few Hebrew writers and poets who did not, for briefer or longer periods, reside in Berlin. At the beginning of the Twenties, one-fourth of all German Jews lived in Berlin. Berlin was the seat of two renowned rabbinic schools, of several publishing houses, and of an articulate Jewish press. It was the headquarters for the political parties and for almost all of the religious and youth movements. It also had more than its share of internal warfare, bickerings, and petty politics. To live in Berlin was to be exposed to a constant intellectual chal- lenge. In this charged atmosphere, in the midst of prosperity, behind a facade of slogans and illusions, the re-education and reorientation of the German Jews began—first slowly, then in the mid-Twenties, with an acceler- ated tempo, as if driven by the knowledge that not much time was left It was in this post-war Berlin between two world wars that Leo Baeck's name became a major force. In addition to being the rabbi of a large synagogue—he was relieved of his rabbinic duties when he became the head of the Reichsvertretung—he became in quick succession president of a number of large national organizations: of B'nai B'rith, which was for a long time the determining factor in Jewish communal affairs throughout Germany; of the Rabbinical Assembly, to which all rabbis belonged, with the exception of the few Orthodox rabbis who were members of Agudat Israel. Some of these offices were plainly representative. Others demanded a considerable amount of his time and attention and enabled him to exert a far-reaching influence; his influence upon his colleagues, for instance, and on the rabbinic profession in general was profound. In all of his assignments Baeck displayed an intimate knowledge of administrative detail. His speaking engagements carried him to many communities. There were few important events, national and regional, at which he was not the main speaker, and hardly any undertakings on a national scale—with the important exception of the Zionist ones—in which he did not play a vital role. Thus, he became the co-founder and head of the Central Social Agency and of Help and Reconstruction, an organization which antedated the Reichsvertretung and later on became its effective arm. In literary and scholarly enterprises, too, those which addressed themselves to the general reading public, his part was often more than that of mere sponsorship. One of his most frequent duties was that of conducting meetings. One might say he was the chairman par excellence and quite a virtuoso in the art of chairmanship. Those who remember the meetings over which he pre- sided recall the silence that fell over the audience the moment he rose to speak, the enormous earnestness gathered in his face, the quavering, almost suffering, voice, that seemed to come with great effort, the abstract language which, strangely enough, never failed to reach its target. He knew how to inspire, encourage, rebuke, and comfort. He also knew how to reduce hotly debated issues to what seemed to him their proper proportions. After a long and trying session he would get up and, reaching back into an ever present arsenal of eternal verities, historical comparisons, and classic quotations, would proceed, with devastating politeness, to strip the problem in question to its essentials. His demeanor never changed, nor did his style. He never 480 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK made concessions to the presence of the Gestapo officials who watched the proceedings from the sidelines. Leo Baeck's leadership did not always remain unchallenged. Among his colleagues there were some articulate and outspoken men who did not always see eye to eye with him. There were disagreements with the spokes- men of the Jewish community in Berlin, with members of the strongly Revisionist Juedische Volkspartei, with leaders of the Zionist movement, and also with radical assimilationists. He was not a Zionist, but he did not join the anti-Zionist "Protest Rabbis"; he had his reservations with regard to Jewish nationalism, but he became president of the Palestine Foundation Fund-Keren Hayesod. He was the leading Liberal rabbi-after his liberation he accepted the leadership of the World Union for Progressive Judaism— but he parted with those rabbis who advocated a diluted Judaism and whose Liberalism exhausted itself in anti-Zionist slogans. In the midst of his organizational obligations Baeck found time for a correspondence that assumed huge proportions. He answered letters im- mediately and, mostly, by hand. His correspondents were colleagues, church- men, scholars, and community leaders, people of all stations and various religious persuasions. A radio talk after his liberation from the concentration camp in Theresienstadt in May 1945 brought him a letter from a doctor who lived in a little town in the Black Forest. A correspondence ensued which ranged over a wide area of philosophy and religion, but also touched upon family and personal matters. This correspondence with a complete stranger continued until Baeck's death; we see from the letters how he took time out from a busy schedule, and in London or New York would go on a shopping tour to buy things which the children of that family needed. Until his deportation he kept contact with members of the nobility, with industrialists who opposed the regime, and members of the resistance move- ment who tried to rebuild Germany on the ruins of destruction and shame. He has been likened to the Jewish Shtadlanim of the late Middle Ages who interceded with pope, bishops, and princes for their harassed people. It should, however, be emphasized that he rarely took the initiative in estab- lishing contacts. He was rather sought out by people who regarded him as a man of wisdom, an example in courage, one of the truly religious leaders of our time. Leo Baeck did not think of himself in terms of political leadership but as a rabbi and teacher. Whether he was addressing a B'nai B'rith meeting, an academic assembly, or a political gathering, he spoke always as a humanist and educator. At home in the classics and in the rabbinic lore, his erudition embraced the traditions of the East as well as the contemporary literature. Trained in Prussian schools, serving the Jewish community in Germany, he was au fond a European whose mind was the meeting place of humanistic ideals. Baeck started his day before daybreak and every spare minute, including the wakeful hours on the trains, he spent studying. He was one of the guiding spirits in the Jewish Academy and in the Hochschule fuer die Wissenschaft das Judentums, where he shared the teaching burden with such men as Ismar Elbogen, Julius Guttmann, Chanoch Albeck, and Naphtali LEO BAECK 481 Hertz Tur Sinai. Constant recourse to the sources and teaching prevented him from being submerged in "current events." At the height of stormy debates his demeanor was one of unperturbed serenity and his face a study of concentration. Even in Theresienstadt, oblivious of what the next day might bring, he addressed the emaciated inmates on philosophical and re- ligious subjects, thus upholding a dictum to which from a theological view- point he might have taken exception—namely, that the spirit flows wherever it wills. Freed from the camp, he went abroad, something that he had de- clined to do at the hour of destruction when he decided to stay with the shattered remnants of his people. Almost immediately, giving himself no respite, he resumed his teaching at the Institute of Jewish Studies in London and—during the winter months—at the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati. Leo Baeck established his scholarly reputation with his book Essence of Judaism. To no small extent he owed to this book his recognition and authority as a spokesman of German Jewry. It was provoked by Adolf von Harnack's Essence of Christianity, which portrayed the Christian religion as the absolute religion and Judaism as an inferior one. Without making refer- ence to Harnack other than by the allusion in the title, Baeck set out to describe the essential features of Judaism. He called his work "a psychology of religion." The method which he employed allowed him to gather the evidence of the Jewish character from history, literature, liturgy, and the Jewish way of life. He contrasted the expressions of Jewish views on the world and on life with those of other religions. Baeck described the carriers of the tradition, "the erudite and educated witnesses of faith," and their highest embodiment: the inner-worldly ascetic and martyr. What emerged from this wilful yet circumspect phenomenology was the portrait of a fight- ing, restless Jew "who finds no rest even in the Hereafter," and the portrait of a world in which the tension between the finite and the infinite never ends. For Baeck creation and revelation are identical—a concept where the influence of Neo-Kantianism is obvious—and redemption is reconciliation with God, which man achieves not in the end of, and as a reward for, his struggle, but in the very act of the struggle itself. Judaism is the religion of ethical action motivated by and rooted in the loving search of God. On the surface this reads like a restatement of ethical monotheism which was attacked by the younger rabbis and intellectual Zionists as the ideology of a complacent bourgeoisie. In Baeck's portrait, however, ethics is the exacting, never-ending process of re-creation, in which man plays the role of a thinking, critical, and self-critical partner. Judaism is free of sacramentalism —even the priests of the Temple did not dispense grace. It does not offer a system—"from the systematizers there came the hardened inquisitors." Nor is Judaism dogma, for dogmatism, particularly in its scholastic form, is the philosophy of finality, "and when finality dies, it dies finally." Among the many proofs Baeck adduces for the pre-eminent ethical character of Judaism is the confession on the Day of Atonement, which lists only moral, not ritual transgressions. Even in Jewish mysticism Baeck, ignoring the evidence to the contrary, found a strong emphasis on ethics, an absence of mythology as well as of speculation on the nature of God. There were many areas to which Baeck applied his enlightened scholar- 482 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK ship—Hellenistic thinkers, the Pharisees, as well as contemporary problems, both theological, and practical. Before his deportation he was working on a legal history of the Jewish people. During his imprisonment he scribbled notes on shreds of toilet paper. Out of these notes grew the book This Jewish People, whose second part appeared after his death. There was, however, one topic to which he returned again and again, that of the Christian religion, or rather, the Christian religions, from their beginning until his time. This was an abiding and passionate concern of Baeck's, in which he followed a German Jewish tradition. In no other country has there been so consistent and lively a dialogue between the two religions as in Germany. From Mendelssohn to Rosenzweig, Buber, and Baeck, this dialogue has re- mained on the German agenda. On the Jewish side it was responsible for an apologetic literature, but its best literary expressions helped to bring about the spiritual emancipation of the German Jew. As early as in Essence of Judaism Leo Baeck frequently dealt with Christian attitudes and ideas. During the Nazi period the Schocken Pub- lishing House printed The Gospels as an Historical Document of the Jewish Faith. In this book Baeck attempts to separate the original story of Jesus, his original sermons, from the interpretation which his disciples, using rab- binic methods, worked into them. The original version Baeck claims as Jewish property. Of the epistles of the disciples, he says: "It is quite obvious that what is given in these epistles is different from the Gospel." They con- tain "not the teachings of Jesus but a doctrine about him, not the faith which he bore in him and which imparted itself to his disciples, but the belief in him." The book, interestingly enough, passed the Nazi censor. Years before, Baeck had published an address on Romantic Religion. Here he traced Christian religiosity to the mystery cults of the East, to the in- fluence of Plato and the Stoa. In contradistinction to the "intuitive practical character" of Judaism, romantic religion in Baeck's view, breeds a preference for the fantastic, for pious sentimentality and "coquetry." Romantic religion's indifference with regard to the moral commandments is responsible for the medieval scholastic Doctrine of the Two Truths and for the pact between religion and state. Baeck particularly singled out for attack Lutheranism "where morality is essentially what the appointed authorities require." On the other hand, he felt a kind of kinship to those Christian movements "which placed ethics above remission of sins and the moral commandment above the doctrine of justification," those social movements which originated in Switzerland and flourished in England. The Nonconformists he credits with being the co-authors of modern democracy. The Jew, being the classic nonconformist in the history of humanity, recognizes a close relation in the Christian dissenter. This preoccupation with nonconformism may shed light on Baeck's personality and his aristocratic loneliness. Perhaps in this man, noted for his restraint and for his conservative leanings, there was something of an unruly dissenter, who, associated in a hundred ways with a middle class society, yet remained aloof and apart from it. Be it as it may, Leo Baeck will be remembered for his resistance to those powers "that conquer without peril and triumph without glory." MAX GRUENEWALD
