congregation, on the occasion of
Washington’s visit to that city.

on the steps of the ancient New
port Touro Synagogue, a New

Jews Rarely Alcoholic,
Psychiatrist Finds
BOSTON (JTA)—The Jew rare
ly becomes a drunkard because of
the hatred of alcoholics which is
part of his social tradition, accord
ing to a study made by Dr. Ab
raham Myerson, director of the
Psychiatric Research Division of
the Boston State Hospital. Dr.
Myerson, who recently addressed
a scientific convention in Atlantic
City, N. J., on “The Social Psy
chology of Alcoholism,” said in
his paper that although the Jew
suffers as much as anyone from
painful psychological states and
responds like members of other
races to the effects of drink, the
Jew seldom drinks to excess.
“I believe the answer to lie,”
he said, “in the social tradition
of the Jew in respect to alcohol.
Jews are rarely total abstainers.
There are no Jewish total abstain
ence societies, and not even any
Jewish temperance societies. But
nowheres and amongst no people
is there more contempt, loathing
and even hatred for the alcoholic.
“The term ‘Er ist ein Shikur’
(He is a drunkard) designates an
individual whom no responsible
girl will marry, whom no business
man will employ, who loses his
friends, who is condemned in
harsh and unsparing terms. To
be a drunkard is to cease being a
Jew, is to leave the fold of Jewry
or to be pushed out.
“The attitude is that it is en
tirely unworthy of a Jew, man or
woman, to get drunk, and while
amongst the younger Jews ‘get
ting tight’ is not regarded with
the same loathing and contempt
as amongst the elder Jews, never
theless the tradition holds over
and operates very strongly against
alcoholism of a chronic or recur
ring type.”
