May the year dawning upon us make for a new consecration to the cause of Judaism and for a quickening of our will to remain faithful and loyal to our sacred heritage. Again the call of the Shofar will be heard throughout the land, to usher in a New Year. What it holds in store for us we must await and see, but the past is as an open book which we can read, study, and possibly benefit by. As in other years we Jews of Detroit have labored in behalf of every worthwhile cause to uplift our people throughout the Jewish world. Money has been generously given to upbuild our beloved Palestine, to aid our brethren in Russia to settle on the soil, for the upkeep of Yeshivahs, orphan asylums, old folks homes, and others too numerous to mention. Now let us retrospect what we have done for ourselves. Detroit is almost alone among the large cities of this country without a Jewish llospital for which there is at the present time a crying need. The Old Folks Home is in a deplorable condition, our Orphan Home is full to overflowing, our Jewish young men and women should have a proper "Y." Why are we so backward in a city known throughout the world as Dynamic? We have the men, the money, but sadly lack the initiative. Therefore, let us this coming year combine our forces whether Orthodox or Reform, American or European-born Jew, put our shoulders to the wheel and in addition to all the well worth while things we have done in the past, put Detroit Jewry on the map that we may be on a par with our sister cities of America. OUR GOOD WISHES ARE COMING TRUE By RABBI REUBEN HURWITZ Year in and year out we address ourselves, one to another, on the occasion of our New Year, with kindly greetings and good wishes. It should be a source of joy to know that we are really making progress as Jews In America. Our good wishes are evidently coming true.
