Haggerty AA-TI mrisnagmamEramyhmkrq, "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." Give. Etching to H. U. C. EXPANSION PLANNED James Marshall has presented to BY A. A.

Cherry 3290 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. •ILE'VrEFt— B OX Warns Against Fake Govern. ment Natruralization Representatilves. to the naturalization office, Room 414 Post Office Building, telephone Cherry 2208, in case any person who claims to be an officer, asks for money for a naturalization pa- per. 0.

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." _ f or 4 )11r1rh—ilelve into die drkhts of owl, unumal, tcminin,1 Ji.hco a ml0 minAnu, elle•Len sliortealre .1111 new imam, tomato filled with salarl, joint-n.1 Intl-fait.
