On the New Year the Jew forgets himself and prays for his community, for all Israel, and for all mankind. He prays that his community may increase in moral quality, that Israel may grow in spiritual character. that mankind may prosper in the realization of ideals. The responsible member of the Detroit Jewish community will, on this New Year, express his aspiration for: A Jewish community that more adequately pro- vides for its needs, that cares for its sick and handi- capped and disabled, and that provides whole- some recreation and sociability for its youth. A Jewish community that carries out its wider responsibilities, that aids its unfortunate sister- communities in other lands, and that does its share in the upbuilding of Palestine. A Jewish community which realizes that Jew- ish education is the chief concern of every Jew, there there is no more important call upon our means, upon our energy and upon our time than the cause of educating our children to love the Jewish people, to know the Jewish story, to wor- ship in the Jewish faith and to live in accordance with Jewish ideals. A Jewish community which offers a stimulat- ing example 19 its youth by loyalty to the syna- gogue and by the practice of worship not only on these special Sabbaths, the New Year and the Day of Atonement, but on every Sabbath throughout the year. A Jewish community which, through fostering its own institutions, performs the high service of enhancing the spiritual life of America and of all mankind. We extend best wishes for a hap= py and prosperous New Year to all our friends and policyholders. May the year just beginning bring realization to your found- est hopes and ambitions. Blumberg Bros.
