TO HOLE, Ohl!

JEWS OF DETROIT---THEIR FATE RESTS WITH YOU.
YOU ALONE CAN ANSWER THESE GRAVEQUESTIONS!

Will our children be fed OR will they go hungry?
Will our sick be cared for OR will they be left to die?

Will our aged be clothed OR will they go in rags?
Will our starving get bread OR will they be allowed to starve?

• • • JEWISH LIFE • • • JEWISH INSTITUTIONS • • •
JEWISH TRADITIONS---MUST BE SAVED!

It is for

you TO GIVE! Not Tomorrow—But NOW!

All time for discussion and argument
is past. Action swift and certain must
be taken. Individual opinion and be-
lief must be subordinated to a com-
mon need. Either we believe in the
principle of a unified Jewish com-
munity or we do not and the con-
tinued existence of the structure
which has been so laboriously built
is in grave jeopardy; in fact it faces
swift and complete collapse unless
the Jews of this city rally to the de-
fense without delay.

Workers beset with the problem
of sustaining life are fighting dog-
gedly on in the face of impossible
conditions, sustained by their loyalty
to a principle, trying to make mind
and heart surmount the materia l
shortage---but it can't go on---it can't
be done---it is a superhuman effort
but it must fail unless money is forth-
coming. Not tomorrow---not this
afternoon---but NOW, this moment,
for the need is dire, the deadline has
been reached.

Mark these words, Jews of Detroit.
This community is not for today or
tomorrow, it is for all time and we,
of Jewish faith and origin, must keep
our communal life intact. We must
squeeze blood from the proverbial
stone but we cannot fail. Disaster
faces us unless we act---again we re-
peat---the deadline time is striking.
Rise up, Detroit Jewry, and by your
pennies, nickels and dimes, if need be,
supply the pitifully small sums needed
to keep alive the Federation and all
that it stands for—do not let it die for
with it dies a spirit that time cannot
revive.
