the part of our children is unnecessary. What Jews should do is to
celebrate in their homes the Chanukah with all its beautiful symbol-
ism of the lighted tapers, with the giving of gifts, and with the indul-
gence in games and other forms of gayety that are traditionaLsto the
festival. Instead of wishing each other Merry Christmas, let us wish
each other Merry Chanukah. It really means more to us and will
go far to deepen in our children their Jewish consciousness.
To stimulate the observance of Chanukah in our Jewish homes,
every child of Temple Beth El Religious School will be furnished, as
in other years, with a box of Chanukah candles, and it is hoped that
the parents will encourage their children to light these with approp-
riate ceremonies on each of the eight nights of the Feast. Chanukah
can and should be made a living festival of joy and gladness in the
Jewish home. If this is done, it wil play no less a part in our lives
and the lives of our children than does Christmas in the lives of our
Christian friends. The two festivals undoubtedly have much in com-
mon in their origins. There can be no question that they both arose
out of a nature feast that celebrated the coming of the winter
solstice. Not only the coincidence of date but as well the symbolism
of the festivals bears out this theory. But each of the festivals has
become associated with the spirit of the faith to which it belongs.
Let Christmas then be an inspiration and a source of exaltation to the
Christian. But let Chanukah be no less to the Jew.
Dr. Silver's Plea for Palestine.
The eloquent and earnest plea made recently in this city
by Dr. Abba Hillel Silver of Cleveland for help in the economic
reconstruction of Palestine naturally made a deep impression
upon the large numbers of men and women who heard him.
There can be no question but that the program of the Pales-
tine Development Council which Rabbi Silver officially repre-
sents, is the one logical avenue of approach to the solution of
the Palestinian problem. It is asserted by those officially con-
nected with the organization that their efforts are entirely
independent of any Zionistic propaganda; that their desire to
rehabilitate Palestine economically and industrially by the cre-
ation of co-operative industrial groups is absolutely without
reference to any thought of the restoration of Jewish nation-
ality in Palestine. It is their claim that non-Zionists may as
consistently participate in the promotion of their plan as the
most ardent Zionists. This is rather reassuring and suggests
the possibility of uniting the efforts of all Jews who are at all
interested in Jewish settlement in Palestine.
It is not here necessary to discuss the conditions out of
which the establishment of the Palestine Development Council
grew. That it is in no small part the result of the cleavage
within the ranks of the Zionists themselves, there can be little
doubt. But that is aside from the question. What is really
important is this: that the program as now laid down by the
sponsors of the new movement is practically identical with the
program for Palestine restoration that has been advocated
these many years by Reform Jews who were entirely out of
sympathy with political Zionism. A reading of the editorial
columns not only of newspapers such as this but equally a
perusal of the Year Books of the Central Conference of Ameri-
can Rabbis for the last eight or ten years will bear out this
contention. There has never been a time during the past de-
cade at least, when the Central Conference of American Rabbis
and its individual members who stood radically opposed ait
they do today to political Zionism, did not stand ready to
endorse and to assist in the economic rehabilitation of the land
in order that it might be made a fit place to live for those who
cared to go there and incidentally become a land of refuge
for at least some of the oppressed Jews of other lands.
The frank admission made by Dr. Silver that Zionists
despite their loud and constant boasting, have accomplished
very little thus far in the rehabilitation of the land is also in
line with the assertion frequently made by non-Zionists but
constantly denied by Zionists themselves. Therefore the very
frankness with which Dr. Silver discussed this situation is
rather interesting. So far as we can see, there is one thing
yet lacking to bring about complete harmony in the carrying
out of the program of the Palestine Development Council
through the co-operation of all Jews and that is the placing
upon the governing board of outspoken non-Zionists in number
equal at least to those who are known to be in sympathy with
the program of political Zionism.
It is, we believe, only in such wise that a full co-operation
can be established. If the proponents of the new movement
are entirely sincere, as we have every reason to believe they
are, they will lose no time in so reconstructing their governing
boards as to give the proportionate representation which is
here suggested.

"Good evening," said a fat, vicious
looking fellow, with a malicious grin
on his face.
"Good evening," said the second
goblin, who was thin and extremely
hungry. "What an appetite that fel-
low must have!" thought Feifer.
"Good evening!" added the third
goblin, a little fellow with a shrill,
steam whistle of a voice. Good eve-
ning rind good Yomtov!" Itzig Feder,
unmindful of the newcomers, continu-

know, Goyim, what tonight is?" The
gobline shook their pates.
"You are ignorant, that is plain,"
Feifer told them. "Tonight is Cha-
nukah and God is watching every Jew
who has lit his Chanukah candle. As
long as it burns, no harm can come
to him." The goblins looked scared.
They had evidently heard of God, and
feared him, too. , .
Itzig Feifer paid no more attention
to them, and prayed to God that he

MIZRACHI DISTRICTS
TO BE REORGANIZED
CHANUKAH LIGHTS
You see these slender tapers standing there
Like Lilliputians wrestling with the air,
In yellow garb, that strafige suggestive hue
Of tragic reminiscence to the Jew?
These tiny lights have struggled thus for years;
Though often bathed in blood and drenched in tears,
They flicker still—It seems no mortal might
Can crush God's great miracle of light.
This little group of torches came to show
The hiding place of Heaven here below;
By lighting every corner of the earth,
They see and preach life's meaning and its worth.
Though weak and few they caused the very heart
Of all humanity to stir, and gave the start
To God's most sacred truths; Indeed proclaim
His Fatherhood, His purpose and His name.
Yea, Israel, it is Thy fate to fight
In darkened corners and to shed the light
Till all the world at last has learned to see
Its way to God and immorality.
HAROLD DEBREST.
, NEW YORK—(J. T. A.)—At the .
, last session of the eighth annual mi-
1 vention of the Mizrachi organization,:
la series of resolutions .4/ere adopted,
'the more important of which are de-
signed to effect local and general re-
organization of the Orthodox Zionist:
circles in this country.
It was decided to elect an Executive.
Committee in place of the Central,
Committee of nine, the executive to
, include the president, secretary and
treasurer. Councils for the strength.:
enink of the Mizrachi work in the vs-.
rious 'districts were decided upon, as '
was also the publication in Hebrew
and in Yiddish of a bulletin for the
information of its members. A reso-
' lotion aiming at the complete read-
justment of all Zionist bodies in the
country was adopted, reading as fol-
lows: "The convention approves of
the proposal emanating from the Zion-
ist Organization of America, that all
existing Zionist Organizations shall
be concentrated at one center from
which the work for the Keren Haye-
sod will be conducted, and to which
the office of the K. H. shall also be re-
moved. This resolution shall come into
force only when the majority of the
organizations will agree thereto."
