about Jewish activities In this community for
the balance of the year? Surely, a community
does not function only three or four weeks in the
year by merely conducting • charity drive. In
the present campaign were assembled so many
differing groups of Jews, among the volunteers
were enlisted so many young men and women
who have never before partcipated in Jewish
activities, that to fail to retain their interest in
things Jewish would be tantamount to inviting
even greater indifference in Jewish ranks by the
failure to make use of an unusual triumph.
It is well to remember that while a campaign
can, as this one was, be won by stunts, by ex-
cellent organization, a good spirit of camara-
derie and fine sportsmanship, the life of the Jew-
ish community depends upon the type of leader-
ship we develop, the kind of content we Five to

Jewish Idealism command and rule the conduct-
of the community. Perhaps it is in place at
this time to recall the ancient warning that was
issued to Hannibal, one of the world's greatest
generals, anent his victories: "Hannibal knows
how to gain a victory, but not how to use it."
For, be it remembered, this drive was not for
relief alone, although "Relief, Relief!" was the
central cry. Ancient and indestructible tradi-
tions were involved in the eampagin appeal.
Jewish education played an important part in the
campaign budget. Ordinarily, except for the
s present critical times, that would and should
come first. There were other educational items,
and among the leading causes was the ideal of
a rebuilt Palestine. There is sufficient material
for study, thinking, communal interest included
in the campaign's causes to make this com-
munity thrill in Jewish living, and to lead it on
to even greater achievement. But will interest in
these causes die with the excitement of the
drive, the campaign only to be recalled in the
demands for the payment of pledges?
