Happy New Year
to You and
Tours
By FRED M. BUTZEL
The New Year finds the Jewish group in a very
unsatisfactory condition. The tremendous growth of
anti-Semitism in Germany and Austria, the threats of
pogroms in Rumania, and the economic strangulation
in Poland and adjacent countries, certainly are most
discouraging.
Business depression in America causes preoccupa-
tion with personal affairs and corresponding diminu-
tion of interest in community matters. England's criti-
cal position in other eastern countries has caused a
eery indifferent attitude on her part in Palestine.
All reports, however, indicate that the Jewish set-
tlements in Palestine are consolidating and expand-
ing; that the people there are taking root and laying
foundations for a fine, independent Jewish life, irre-
spective of political conditions.
Treaties, declarations, agreements and manifestos
do not seem as important as life itself.

good will triumphantly forge

"A God-intoxicated people" is the term by which
a great thinker designates and describes the soul-
quality and spiritual personality of the Jewish people. ,
The "God-intoxication" of the Jew manifests it-
' self at no other moment and in no other relation with
such intensity and in such sublime grandeur as in the
high Holy Days and in the synagogue where the Jew
worships his God in the prayers, hymns and medita-
tions of the ancient age-sanctified liturgy.
Only God-intoxicated people could give that spirit-
ual content and interpretation of the New Year as the
Jest' gives to its Rosh Ilashonah. Only a God-intoxi-
cated people could celebrate the division of times, the
beginning of the new year with such heart-stirring,
soul-arousing manner and with such keen insight in
the value of time, the operations and planes of Divine
Providence as the Jew celebrates his Rosh Ilashonah.
Only a God-intoxicated people, in the moments of
highest religious inspiration and exaltation, and only
it.s greatest saints could produce such a "Machzor,"
such an order of prayer as the Jewish liturgy on Rosh
Hashonah and Yom Kippur.
Hearken to the solemn and majestic martyr-prayer
of Israel, "Olenu' leshabeach leodon hakol"! With
the words of this prayer—the declaration of the Unity
Oneness and Allness of God—on their lips, recited
with its glorious deathless tune, the martyr-hosts of
Israel marched to the pyre, to the torture instruments,
to offer their souls amidst inexpressible agonies in
order to verify the Oneness and sanctify the name of
God!
The late Dr. Gotthard Deutsch made the disposi-
tion in his will that omitting all other funeral exercises
and customs at his bier, the "Malchijoth" prayers,'
vibrant with the unity and kingdom of God, shall be
recited at his funeral and under its solemn strains his
body shall be lowered to his eternal rest.
Indeed a "God-intoxicated" people! It is for a
spark of this holy flame, for a drop of this Divine-in-
toxication in the son of Israel that we should pray on
Rosh Ilashonah. One particle of it and Israel will
again become "the light of stations, the covenant of
peoples."

fine influence upon the worshipers

Temple has designated an admis-
sion fee of $5 per person. Hun-
dreds of people have already an-

written applying for admission.
Those who apply and state they
cannot pay the fee have their let-
ters treated confidentially and are
sent tickets of admission.
More than 1,000 people usually
attend these supplementary serv-
ices.

far."
