"And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho,
that he lifted up his eyes and looked and, behold, there
stood a man over against him with his sword drawn
in his hand ; and Joshua went up to him and said unto
him: 'Art thou for us or for our adversaries?' " (Jos.
5:13). At this time of the New Year we can ask the
same question : "What will the New Year bring us?
Will it be good to us, or will it be good for our ad-
versaries?"
When we come to a new year we are inclined to
retrospect over the year that has gone by. A year
ago, after the occurrences in Palestine, we asked this
question of Great Britain, which holds the mandate
over the Holy Land : "Art thou for us or for our
adversaries?"
And the answer to Joshua's question was: "Nay,
but I am captain of the host of the Lord. I am now
come" (Jos. 5:14). For he said : "I have not come to
oppose thee. I am a Jewish prince. I have now come
to help thee." And he continued : "Pull off thy shoe .
from off thy foot, for the place whereon thou standest
is holy." We hope that we will receive the same
answer from Great Britain: "I am appointed to help
the Jews. The land is holy to the Jews. It is their
historic land."
May this New Year be good to us. May the Jewish
people fulfill its holy ideals. This is the hope and
prayer of the Jews in these holy days of the New Year
and the Day of Atonement. "Remove thy shoe from
off thy foot, for the time that we are now in is a holy
time."

FROM THE ZENITH OF JUBILATION
TO THE NADIR OF DESPAIR
Standing within the lengthening shadows of a year
that is done, one sees but dimly the events marshalled
along the route. Nor can one at such close range
attempt even an intelligent appraisal of them.
Within the short space of 12 months we Jews have
drunk deeply at the wells of both the bitter and the
sweet. In one single year have we been plunged from
the zenith of jubilation to the nadir of despair.
With a consummation of the extended Jewish
Agency for Palestine, there dawned a new day in
Israel. For the once there was to be unity in Jewry.
Our hopes were raised to the heavens. Then came in
rapid succession a series of disasters calculated utterly
to destroy a people of lesser fortitude.
The death of Louis Marshall took from us the one
truly great and acknowledged leader yet produced by
the Jews of America and the passing of Lord Balfour
a few months later robbed us of the sincerest and most
trustworthy ally we could claim among non-Jews. In
between these two personal casualties came the Arab
onslaughts upon the quickening realities of 2,000
years of yearning, planning and building.
The report of the Shaw Investigation Commission
and the generalities contained in official British state-
ments upon the Palestine situation have served only to
confirm our fears. The final hostile blow came with
the revocation of over 2,000 certificates of entry into
Palestine, which event placed the Jew in the class of
an immigrant with relation to Palestine and denied
his presence therein as of right and not upon suffer-
ance.
The intolerable economic pressure upon the Jews
of Poland, the religious and spiritual dessication of
the Jews of Russia, the recrudesence of the most vici-
ous forms of anti-Semitism in Rumania together with
the almost hopeless despondency of the Jews the
world over, presents a picture difficult even for strong
men to behold.
Nor is the situation close at hand more hopeful.
The reduction of immigration in the past 10 years to
an almost negligible quantity has cut American Jewry
off from that vast reservoir of strength which existed
formerly in Eastern Europe. Attacked on all fronts
and deprived of these reinforcements, American Jewry
has been severely shaken, and finds considerable diffi-
culty in holding its own. The paucity of inspired and
capable leadership has been felt most acutely during
the past year.
These are some of the thoughts which one cannot
wholly repress in contemplating the Jewish scene at
the close of the year. And yet one cannot surrender
himself entirely to despair. The Jewish people
inured, by two thousand years of wandering and mal-
adjustment, to disappointments and betrayals has
none the less clung tenaciously to life itself. And from
this will to live has been born an unquenchable hope.
We have been a long-suffering people but faith and
hope and patience have never deserted us. May the
New Year bring to us not only a deeper realization of
our Jewish responsibilities but with it a firmer convic-
tion of our own capacity to meet them. May the New
Year give us renewed faith and inspire renewed hope
to carry on.

Your Fall

WOODWARD AVE
By MAURICE H. ZACKHEIM
President, United Hebrew Schools of Detroit
The United Hebrew Schools greet the Jewish cal-
endar year of 5691 with full confidence in Detroit
Jewry that it will render this valuable institution its
full support, as it has done in the past. The United
Hebrew Schools demonstrated to the satisfaction of
the Jewish community that it enriches it spiritually.
The number of graduates from the schools increased
last year and the general attendance was very satis-
factory.
In spite of the fact that Jewish immigration has
ceased for the last 10 years, the number of pupils in
the schools has not diminished. The American-born
Jewish parents realize the importance of Jewish edu-
cation and they are eager to follow in the footsteps of
their forefathers to perpetuate Judaism.
The very fact that one elemtn of Detroit Jewry
that has been estranged from Hebrew education for
many years has come forward with its support and
assistance is sufficient evidence that Hebrew and re-
ligious education have a good future in the Land of
the Free.
The Jewish people realize more and more that
their most precious possession is the Torah and the
maxim of our sages that "Talmud Torah Kneged
Kulom" holds true today as heretofore. Our people
here have made fortunes and lost them. But there is
one possession they will never lose—it will last as long
as the Jewish people lasts—and that is the Torah.
The present economic depression may have some
temporary effect upon the physical condition of the
United Hebrew Schools, but Jewish history has proven
that the People of the Book will guard this Book more
tenaciously and more vigorously when a crisis arises.
The members of the general board of the United
Hebrew Schools are sure that the year 5691 will be a
successful one to the schools and Detroit Jewry will
lend its full support to this institution ; so as to realize
the words of our daily prayer: "And as for me, my
spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I put in
thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out
of the mouth of thy descendants," said the Lord,
"from henceforth and forever."
