"THE MEMBER OF
THE WEDDING"
By LEN GOODMAN
evening.
The discussion, moderated by
Rabbi Benjamin Kahn, director of
the foundation, brought together
Dr. Freund and Dr. George Lott,
psychiatrist of. the College Health
Service. •
Though the ceremonial ritual of
religion itself .may oftentimes be
compared to a compulsive neuro
sis, said Dr. Lott, still it is neces
sary for ritual to bridge the gap
between man and God. We must
deal with ritual extremely care
fully, he felt, and in addition, be
careful to use it well and with
good purpose.
Yet, ritual doesn't seem to have
a meaning or significance of its
own, but serves to make man more
keenly aware of the existence of
God, expressed Dr, Freund. In
deed, it facilitates opportunities
for worship, and directs attention
to such worship, he said.
In addition, he added, the prac
tice of ritual improves and per
fects man's character through the
disciplining of his behavior. Reli
gion itself attempts to change man
into a creature acceptable to God,
he said, and tries to make man
capable of communion with God.
The problem, however, is that
so often no attempt is made to
discover the meaning behind the
ritual with the result that there
is a lessening of faith in that ap
proach to God, he said. This hap
pens so very often, commented
Dr. Lott, when in the stage of the
adolescent he is asserting his inde
pendence and individuality.
