To the Editor:

I enjoyed Dr. Gaster’s sound and penetrating review of Sholem Asch’s “One Destiny,” in the March issue, but I feel that his last paragraph reveals that he misses the meaning of Brotherhood Week.

Like Mother’s Day, Religious Book Week, Negro History Week, etc., Brotherhood Week is an attempt to dramatize and highlight a spirit and a way of thinking and acting that should, of course, be binding throughout all the weeks of the year. Brotherhood Week celebrations are valuable in that they stimulate, educate, and encourage us to democratic human relations; to extend to other people the rights and dignities we want for ourselves.

I also wish to take this opportunity to tell you how much I enjoy your magazine. In my opinion, it goes a long way towards deepening the appreciation of Jewish culture among non-Jews, as well as Jews.
