IN PALESTINE'S RECONSTRUCTION

The Keren Hayesod.
If, as is now claimed by its sponsors, the Keren Hayesod or
Palestine Foundation Fund, as it is popularly called, is an or-
ganization whose one and sole purpose is to create a fund for
the physical restoration of Palestine in order that it may be
made habitable for those who wish to dwell there, and if it has
severed every official association, financial and otherwise, with
political nationalism, there is good reason why Jews' of all
shades of religious opinion should support its efforts in the corn-
ing campaign for funds which is about to be staged in our city.
However, we cannot too strongly insist upon the qualifica-
tion that is thus made. For it must be known that the Keren
Hayesod was for a considerable period so closely identified with
Zionistic propaganda that the non-Zionist could not consistently
give it his support and endorsement. It was for this reason that
the Central Conference of American Rabbis, desiring to do its
full share in the necessary work of Palestinian rehabilitation,
gave its support to the so-called P. D. C., an organization whose
sole purpose has to do with the creation of industries in Pales-
tine by which a livel:hood may be assured to those who settle
there.
The Central Conference of American Rabbis, speaking for
a majority of the Reform rabbis in this country, has from the
beginning of the agitation for Palestinian settlement been con-
sistent in' its attitude. It would have nothing to do with any
propaganda for the re-establishment of a Jewish state. It does
not believe that the genius of the Jew expresses itself best in
the terms of government but rather in the terms of religion.
Now it seems that many of those who were not in agree-
ment with this attitude are nevertheless ready to concede that
4he physical restoration of the land is the first step that must
be taken if Palestine is to become a haven of refuge for some
of those Jews who are oppressed in other portions of the world.
Among these, we are assured, are the responsible heads of the
Keren Hayesod. We are told that such leaders as Weizmann
and Sokolow are willing to assert in writing that such is the
case. If this be true, there is every reason why the campaign
for funds on the part of the Keren Hayesod and the P. D. C.
should be met with a generous response on the part of all Jews.
For even though we may stand opposed to any theory of Jewish
nationality, we must be ready to endorse a plan that will lift
any considerable portion of our suffering co-religionists out of
the wretched situation in which they now find themselves.
Maximilian Harden on Anti-Semitism.
It will perhaps be something of a surprise to the majority
of those who know Maximilian Harden from his works to learn
that he is a Jew by birth and that his proper name is Isidore
Witkowski. However, if press reports are reliable, Mr. Harden
himself is responsible for these statements. In the course of
the trial of Weichardt and Grenz, who were charged with an
attempt at assassinating him, Harden is reported to have said
that, despite the fact that for forty years he had been a "con-
firmed Christian," the fact of his Jewish birth was yet held
against him and was a direct cause of the attempt made to put
him out of the way. Moreover, he asserted in open court that
if these would-be murderers were not convicted and properly
punished, the life of every Jew in Germany would be in danger.
So it seems after all that a mere change of name and of
church affiliation does not wipe out what our enemies are prone
to regard as the stain which being a Jew puts upon the charac-
ter of even a great man. What a lesson this should be for luke-
warm Jews, and especially for those who, having risen to posi-
tions of prominence and power, seek to hide their Jewish origin
under false names and who turn their backs upon their fellows
in faith.
The fact of the matter is—and it proves itself time and time
again—that only the self-respecting Jew who honors himself
by honoring the faith into which he is born can hope to win
and hold the respect of right thinking men and women of what-
soever name. Maximilian Harden is right. Though a Jew has
been for forty years a "confirmed Christian," none the less in
the eyes of his neighbors does he remain the Jew.
ARTICLE IV.
Boxing examined the problems
with which the development of agri-
culture and industry in Palestine is
confronted, and having indicated the
road along which lies their solution,
we now raise the question: What
must we do, under the circumstances,
to give to s large number of Jewish
immigrants the possibility of gaining
a livelihood in l'alestine.
The problem is quite different from
what is, say, in the United States
of America. Here the immigrant
finds an already highly developed and
ever-expanding national economy,
where there is a fairly large demand
for the middleman to bring the goods
from the producer to the consumer.
The Jew with his special aptitude for
commerce finds it possible, even in
competition with the non-Jew, to es-
tablish for himself a decent liveli-
hood. But what is even more im-
portant is the fact that, coming from
Eastern Europe to America, the Jews
come from a country with a compara-
tively low to a country with a very
high standard of living. They are,
therefore, able to capture for them-
selves a place in the economic order.
30,000 Immigrants Yearly.
Given a yearly budget such as the
one adopted by the Zionist Congress
in Karlsbad (the budget amounted to
51,506,000) and a like amount for
the two years following, it may be
asked: What number of immigrant s
will it be possible to settle in Pales-
tine the first year and the two subse-
quent years? It is, of course, im-
possible to give an exact reply to thi s
question. It must not be expected
that the Zionist Organization will
maintain the entire immigration out
of its own resources. The organiza-
tion must, of necessity, expect that
the immigrants will contribute to a
certain extent in the way of capital,
technical equipment and knowledge.
It is as yet uncertain, however, to
what extent the immigrants will ful-
fill these expectations.
Nevertheless, I will say that I do
not consider it impossible to bring
some 30,000 immigrants into Pales-
tine yearly. To some this may ap-
pear very little, but those who will
bear in mind that we shall thereby
double the present number of Jews in
Palestine in the course of three years,
and that in the course of one year
we shall bring into Palestine as many
Jews as immigrated during the 15
years before the war, will realize that
it will indeed be a tremendous
achievement if we succeed in reach-
ing this figure yearly and are able to
assure the immigrants a permanent
livelihood in Palestine. It is much
more difficult to bring into the coun-
try the first 100,000 than the second.
Don't Blame the Children.
Eight Years Ago and Today.
It is well, at this point, to take
stock of the gains and losses which
the movement for the rebuilding of
the Jewish national center in Pales-
tine has experienced in the past eight
years. The representatives of this
movement were then nothing but a
mere sect and in their economic aspir-
ations were not infrequently met
with that contempt with which gov
ernment and other circles of estab-
lished tradition are apt to regard all
sectarian movements. Now, how-
ever, thanks to the Balfour Declara-
tion and the Mandate, we have been
given a place in the council of the
nations. The derisive smile on the
countenances of many of our own
people has given way to a sense of
respect and admiration for the weight
of our ideas. The number of Jews
who have given their adherence to
the movement has increased enor-
mously and thereby, also, its motive
power and its economic and financial
possibilities. Another advantage of
the present, as compared with the
past, is that Palestine now has an ad-
ministration which is inaccessible to
bribery and which evinces an intelli-
gent and sympathetic understanding
in economic matters.
we are now no longer responsible
merely to ourselves for our achieve-
ments in Palestine. Formerly the
Jews could do as much work in Pales-
tine as they wanted to or were able
to do, and only had to justify them-
selves before their own consciences if
they achieved but little. Now, how-
ever, we find that those powers who
have recognized the legitimacy of the
historic claims of the Jews have
turned their watchful eyes upon
them, eager to see whether they ac-
tually make full use of the oppor-
tunities given them and whether
they really are carrying out their
promise to transform Palestine eco-
nomically into the leading country of
Western Asia.
The utterance of Lloyd George af-
ter the Conference of San Remo:
"Now I have given you a start, it is
up to you to make good," is not
merely a promise, it is also a warn-
ing. If our readiness for sacrifice and
our powers of achievement were to
fail us, then the Balfour Declaration
and the Mandate would torn from a
blessing into a curse.
Our task, needless to say, will not
be an easy one, and among our prin-
cipal difficulties we must not under-
estimate the opposition to our activi-
ties which has manifested itself
among the Arabs. This opposition,
which is largely the result of artifi-
cial stimulation, will, I believe, even-
tually become a negligible quantity,
especially among the fallaheen or
Arab peasants, who, of course, form
the vast majority of the Arab popu-
lation. We must, however, recog-
nize the fact that the right of the
Arab to live in Palestine is no smaller
than our right to re-establish our
homeland in that country. It will be
wise policy on our part to recognize
this fact in our various undertakings
for the development of the country.
Money, Money and Money.
A famous Austrian general once
remarked that for the successful con-
duct of war three things are neces-
sary: money, money and money. This
saying is no less true for the success-
ful colonization of a country. Colo-
nization in general, except in such
countries which possessed great and
quickly-realizable natural wealth,
such as the gold which the Spaniards
found in Mexico and Peru, is very
expensive. The colonization of Pal-
estine by Jews, which involves trans-
ferring a people from a country with
a higher to one with a lower standard
of living; which involves also their
transfer to a country with a new cli-
mate; which involves their transform-
ation from city dwellers into peasants
and farmers, is especially difficult.
We cannot consider the rebuilding
of Palestine as intended merely to
provide a living to a certain number
of Jews. We aim to establish a sound
economic basis for a much more im-
portant purpose. Te life of Judaism
is at stake and there is no other way
to preserve it except through Pales-
tine. The religious bond is losing its
effectiveness; the large majority of
the young generation is indifferent to
it. It is ignorant of Jewish achieve-
ment and, therefore, devoid of Jew-
ish pride. The achievements of great
Jews are not identified with the Jew-
ish people but with the people with
which they happen to be politically
affiliated. Without pride our children
will not remain loyal to their herit-
age.
A
New Bond for Judaism.
If American Jews wish their chil-
dren to remain • Jews, they most see
to it that there is something distinctly
Jewish of which they can be proud.
All Jewish achievements in America
as well as in other countries is modi-
fied and diluted by the non-Jewish
environments. Only in Palestine can
we hope to see Jewish genius and
Jewish culture developed unhampered
by non-Jewish and anti-Jewish influ-
ences. The fruition of the Jewish
spirit in Palestine will serve its own
culture as well as that of the world
at large. There our children will find
a source from which to nourish their
Jewish pride.
A new bond must be created for
the continued life of Judaism and
that bond is Palestine.
We are in receipt of a letter which calls attention to the
lavish extravagance that is presently indulged in respect to
young girls' dress. The writer of the letter speaks of the un-
reasonable expenditures in which young people of 19 and 15

Leaves and Grasses
A Limit to Patience.
By actual count, there have reached the writer's desk within
the past week not less than nineteen appeals for contributions
to organizations of various kinds. This does not include the
large and ever increasing number of agents for charitable or-
ganizations in and out of the city, nor the never ending stream
of mendicant merchants who wish subsidies for their books,
nor the representatives of Palestinian orphan asylums, old folks'
homes, and the like, nor many others whose appeals deserve
earnest consideration and generous response.
When these appeals are addressed to us in our individual
capacity, we do not greatly object, because then the choice is
given us to give or not to give, according to our means and in-
clination. But when, as frequently happens, the personal re-
quest is coupled with the suggestion that we address an appeal
in behalf of this or that institution, or this or that author, or
this or that cause, to the members of our congregation, we
begin to feel that the thing is being a bit overdone.
And we do not blame our people for not responding in alto-
gether pleasant spirit to the demands that are thus made upon
them. The fact of the matter is that people must discriminate
in their giving, not only between the worthy and the unworthy,1

gle individual abstain from partici-

the rehabilitation of Palestine. Al-
thought yet in its infancy, this fund
has accomplished wonders in the past
year. It has built a great medical or-
ganization, it has established a fine
school system and inaugurated a sys-
tem of banks that will eventually
make the new settlers in the Holy
Land independent and entirely self-
supporting. Although a strictly Jew-
ish fund, it does not discriminate be-
tween Jew or non-Jew. Ilundreds of

Though the path be dark as night;
There's a star to guide the humble:

And its end far out of sight,
Fight it bravely! strong, or weary,

Whether losing, whether winning—

HEBREW
The Pioneers.
The importance of the fund is, most
naturally, greatest in the care that it
takes of the incoming Chalutzim and
Chalutzoth, the men and women pio-
neers, who settle in the homeland with
a view of starting life anew as a free
people, unmolested and safe from per-
secutions. The vast majority of the
young idealists who settle in Palestine
is composed of Jewish intellectuals,
college men and women, university
graduates and many professional peo-
ple and university instructors. All
these give up their best possessions to
settle in an uncultivated land which
they hope again to cause to "flow
with milk and honey." Many of these
idealists have been seen to land in
Palestnie with only one article under
their arms,—the philosophic work of
Spinoza. Suplemented by the spade
and the shovel, they thus adopt a
philosophic view of life that is bound
to make of Palestine a great spiritual
and intellectual center. Because the
new settlers are people with a vision.
They visualize the new Palestinian
homeland not as a means in itself, but
as a means to a greater end, which is
to serve as a clearing house for the
teachings of the Ilebrew sages and
prophets, whose teachings have been
read and re-read by all peoples, but
have never been practiced. It is a
utopia they look forward to, but they
aim at realizing their ideal in a prac-
tical way, and the benefits of such a
center are bound to be reaped by all
Jewry everywhere, and not by the
pioneers alone.
By Mao Weine
(Student at the United Ilebrew
Schools of Detroit.)
The opening of the new Talmud
Torah certainly is a time for jubila-
tion among the Jews of Detroit. This
building means that the illiteracy of
the average boy and girl with respect
to the language, ideals and customs
of their people will be greatly de-
creased. The doors of this building
will soon be thrown open to receive
the great influx of boys and girls who
desire to know and speak the lan-
guage of their forefathers, to know
the history of the Jews, and to be
acquainted with all of the great men
who made the Jewish nation and lan-
guage what they are today.
The fact that Ilebrew is not heard
of so much as other languages does
not detract from its quality. Its si-
lence through many centuries is due
only to the fact that it was not
spoken—it was "(lead." But now the
Ilebrew tongue is again alive, it is
again spoken as the mother language
of thousands of people. The immor-
tal work of Ben Yehudah has been
greatly repaid and our language has
taken its place among the literary
languages of the world.
In point of literature the progress
of Ilebrew is inestimable. In the
short period of 50 years, such men
as Bialik, Tchernichovsky, Judah
Leib Gordon, Abramovitz and others
have developed a literature which
ranks with the greatest on earth.
Bialik, the "poet of the Galuth," is
now placed among the greatest of
the nineteenth century.
But this is not all. We are also
rightly proud of our place in the
literature of the mediaeval ages. Je-
hudah Ilalevi has not only been the
greatest literary light of his age, but
his influence on later literature has
been tremendous.
At the root of all this progress are
the books of the Bible—those won.
derful books which, even in trans-
lated form, have influenced every
literature of the world and refined
the speech and customs of every na-
tion of the earth. But in the Talmud
Torah you get it in the original, in
those very words that the prophets
used in admonishing their people,
that David used in the temple, and
with which Job praised the Lord in
the face of his oppressors. In He-
brew you have the Bible in all its
life, in all its gayety and sorrow,
with its burning flames of love and
fiery anger that has been the inspira-
tion of millions of people in tens of
centuries.
All of this is obtained in the Tal-
mud Torah. The modern, pleasant
buildings and the modern methods of
teaching makes the work a pleasure.
I am now in the highest class of the
United Ilebrew Schools and I feel
that I have reaped many great bene-
fits from my knowledge of Ilebrew,
the mother tongue of our homeland,
Palestine. Try to learn it, and you
will never regret it.
"The Power of the M ■■ lier."
The Talmud says that "Israel will
not be redeemed except through the
power of the Maaser," and the tithe
has been revived by the Keren Haye-
sod as a means of self-taxation by
Jews for Palestine's rebuilding. It is
peculiarly coincident with the Pales-
tine ideal that the Maaser, once as fa-
miliar to the Jews as the Ten Com-
mandments, should be reinstituted.
The Maaser has a long and interest-
ing history. In times of distress
among the Jewish people of the Mid-
dle Ages, the Maaser was resorted to
as a means of raising . funds among
the more fortunate for the alleviation
of the sufferings of the less happy and
in all Jewish modesty be it said, the
wealthy of Israel have proven their
worth as the sons of the prophets by
giving nobly and by yielding a full
tenth of their possessions. The pres-
ent Is also a time of gravest problems
and most important happenings in the
life of the Jewish people. While fully
half of our people is in dire need,
hundreds of thousands, perhaps mil-
lions being daily threatened with ex-
pulsions from the lands of their birth,
the nations of the world have placed
a trust in us in the form of a privi-
lege to rebuild our ancient homeland.
While an army of half a million men
and many women is forced to stay or-
ganized for the protection of the Jew-
ish people in southern Russia, another
army of workers is invited to come to
Palestine and till the soil that it
may again become fruitful and may
again offer a peaceful home for the
Jew who may enjoy life "under his
vine and fig tree." This is not a
dream. It is in fact, too much of a re-
ality. But Jews must learn to see the
practical without forever remaining
the dreamers. This is the Jewish op-
portunity. The Keren Hayesod and
the Maaser are the instruments for
the solving of a grave problem. Every
Jew, in his own way, whether he pays
the minimum tax of $25 to the Pales-
tine Foundation Fund, or whether he
gives in the thousands and the hun-
dreds of thousands, can share in the
joy of doing a great and constructive
act. That Israel prove true to his
heritage, may his eyes be made to see
the great opportunity that is ours.
For the present generation has the
opportunity of a lifetime to write it-
self down in the history of the Jews
as the most fortunate and one that
has accomplished what has been a
dream through a period of exiles and I
expulsions.
Herbert Samuel's Report.
The report of Sir Herbert Samuel,
British High Commissioner for Pal-
estine, showing the developments of
his administration in the past 18
months, comes at a most appropritae
time. While the Jewish people is
asked to contribute towards the re-
building of the Holy Land, the High
Commissioner's report reads like a
corporation head's financial state.
ment to his stockholders. It reads
like an inducement for further in-
vestments. And investments for the
building of a Jewish home are dif-
ferent than those made for the mak-
ing of a great business enterprise.
While the former will yield no profits
and rather calls for sacrifice, it is
something that gives the individual
a far greater benefit than the reap-
ing of monetary profits. It offers
one the chance of enjoying a true
spiritual satisfaction that perhaps
nothing else can equal. It gives every
one, no matter how far removed from
the land itself, the opportunity of
becoming a pioneer and a builder.
Because, like in time of war, no army
can succeed unless it has an army of
workers at home to back it up. We
have our army of pioneers in Pale...!
tine. We must increase the ranks
of the pioneers at home.
