For the first time in history a spirit of unity and co-ordination between the Jewish communi- ties makes itself felt in all the institutions of our com- mon welfare. The blessed spirit of brotherhood is reflected in this issue of The Detroit Jewish Chron- icle. From north, south, east and west, from the Soo to the Straits, wherever Jews have settled to pursue their peaceful labors in good will and in harmony with their neighbors, come the happy greetings of the New Year and the tidings of prosperity and con- tentment. R HIS marks the consummation of a wish long and devoutly held by all our communal leaders. All who have the welfare of Jewry at heart, whether it be for the Redemption of the National Homeland, the Jewish colonization in Russia, for relief, for recon- struction. for philanthropy or education, have long felt the need for a strong unifying force that shall knit together the thriving Jewish communities of our great state into a homogeneous body—a Michigan Jewry in every real sense of the term. This issue, the Rosh Ilashonah number of The Chronicle, is dedi- cated to the achievement of that high purpose. T 100 odw'd F OLD the New Year betokened to our fathers the coming of the harvest season, a time "to gar- ner in that which was sown." Today its ancient sig- nificance, in its literal sense, is known chiefly to the Chalutzim of the homeland, those pioneers who have returned to till the sacred soil that gave the olive and the grape for the sustenance of our forefathers. O A The offices of The Detroit Jewish Chronicle will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 27 and 28. for the Rosh Hash- onah holidays. d ported drowned above all, it is the harvest of our deeds in the larger affairs of the heart and the soul, in that greatest of all vocations—being a Jew.
