back to Moses because there is a
unifying element between the Jew-

"Moses, in the consciousness of
collective Israel, is yet alive as a
factor and moving force in the
Jewish soul," Rabbi Fischer said.
"The problems now taxing the
energies of Karolyi were touched
by Moses 3500 years ago and the
Bible and Moses offer a solution to
them. Moses, at the threshold of
the Promised Land, offered that
the land should be divided among
the people. Moses thus gave the
Jews economic equality."
