“_These assertions are not correct._ The fact is that the formula of Kol
Nidre was composed and said on the night of Yom Kippur quite a time
earlier than the period of the Spanish Inquisition. We find, for
instance, a formula to invalidate vows on Yom Kippur in the prayer book
of the Rabbi Amram Goun who lived in the ninth century, about five
hundred years before the Spanish Inquisition; although Rabbi Amram’s
formula is not ‘Kol Nidre’ but ‘Kol Nidrim’ (‘All vows and oaths which
we shall swear from Yom Kippurim to Yom Kippurim will return to us
void.’)....”
The form of the prayer in the matter of its age may be in dispute; but
back in the ancient and modern Talmud is the authorization of the
practice: “He who wishes that his vows and oaths shall have no value,
stand up at the beginning of the year and say: ‘All vows which I shall
make during the year shall be of no value.’”
That answers our reader’s question. This article does not say that all
Jews thus deliberately assassinate their pledged word. It does say that
both the Talmud and the prayer book permit them to do so, and tell them
how it may be accomplished.
Now, as to the Jewish religious hymn which is being sung “by request”
throughout the country: the story of it is soon told.
The name of the hymn is “Eli, Eli”; its base is the first verse of the
Twenty-second Psalm, known best in Christian countries as the Cry of
Christ on the Cross.
It is being used by Jewish vaudeville managers as their contribution to
the pro-Jewish campaign which the Jew-controlled theater is flinging
into the faces of the public, from stage and motion picture screen. It
is an incantation designed to inflame the lower classes of Jews against
the people, and intensify the racial consciousness of those hordes of
Eastern Jews who have flocked here.
At the instigation of the New York Kehillah, “Eli, Eli” has for a long
time been sung at the ordinary run of performances in vaudeville and
motion picture houses, and the notice “By Request” is usually a bald
lie. It should be “By Order.” The “request” is from Jewish headquarters
which has ordered the speeding up of Jewish propaganda. The situation of
the theater now is that American audiences are paying at the box office
for the privilege of hearing Jews advertise the things they want
non-Jews to think about them.
