that Israel would take on new life in
Eretz Yisroel.
'Far from me was the thought of an
exodus of all the Jews in Palestine. I
thought of the establishment only of
a center as important as possible,
where there would develop the Jewish
genius and the great intellectual cul-
ture of our race, to such an extent
that it would have a most happy re-
action upon the situation of the Jews
all over the world. But in order to
attain that end, it was on land where
it was necessary to begin by estab-
lishing the first foundation. It was
necessary to organize agricultural
work. The pioneers of the earliest
days fought bravely against diseases
as well as against the untractable land
which showed itself unresponsive to
all their efforts. The first groups soon
became hamlets. Finally, after hav-
ing triumphed over all difficulties, ma-
terial as well as political, those ham-
lets have become splendid colonies.
They used to say to me in those re-
mote days: "You are building on
sand," but this sand has changed into
stone, and, as the Psalmist says, this

desert plains, will attest the perse-
verance, the ardor for work of the
Jews. The impression which it has
made in the world was of tremendous
service to the Jewish cause, when the
generous movement, created by an in-
spiration stamped with so much gran-

deur, inspired a sentiment of solid-

arity among the Jews and assumed

such large proportions that it brought


about, since the Peace Treaty, the


proclamation of • National Home.

city, a veritable human hive, buzzing
with activity and labor. Private ini-

every sort, and thus with the progress
which the colonies have made, we can

But that which should constitute the
truly Jewish character of the Nation-

bor; it is in this direction above all
that the Jewish genius can develop.
