We Are One People
(CONCLUDED
from EDITORIAL PAGE)
brief enough as historic time
goes, of holding us a sect is over.
The resultant hypocrisy on the
part of both the other peoples
and of ourselves will be over.
Persecution in the barbarous
lands of the exile may drag on
for decades; it will not be light-
less as heretofore; it will not be
hopeless and issueless; for op-
pressed peoples unless they are
destroyed are liberated In the
end. The universal life of Is-
rael from this day forth will
no longer be the life of those
who solicit favors and ward off
blows because such negative
measures are their one resource.
The universal life of Israel will
be from this day on • creative
life—a life that gradually cre-
ates its own liberation and by
that liberation from servitude
and wrong brings by so much
nearer the liberation of man-
kind from its servitude to cruel-
ty and falsehood and hate.
The ultimate test of any thing
OT theory or action is Its result
within the moral world, the
world of conduct. Many ineen-

not change the quality of life
unless that change of heart
has first taken place. Now any
one who knows the Jewish peo-
ple at all knows this, that those
who have in recent decades be-
lieved in the peoplehood of Is-
rael and have given their
strength and sacrificed their
other hopes and worldly advant-
ages for the re-integration of
Israel as • people, have been
men and women with changed
hearts. They have had the up-
ward - glance; they have had
cleanness in their souls; they have
freed themselves from the vices
and foibles of the oppressed—
stealthy hate and subtle machi-
nation and servility and excess.
They have been able to love even
their enemies, that is, to under-
stand and tolerate them because
they carried within them a vision
and an idea and a burning cog-
nition by virtue of which the
hater and the hated, the perse-
cutor and the persecuted, the
slayer and the slain were to be
transcended and were, in that
character of oppressor and op-
pressed, to be no more forever.
They have been those who have
stood in the house of the Lord in
the night seasons and have
prayed and wrought for the
gathering in of Israel from the
four corners of the earth; they

Ladies Auxiliary of

Ten years ago Mr. Ellmann
became actively interested in the
Zionist cause. He served as chair-
man of the program committee
of the Zionist Organization of
Detroit and in 1933 was elected
president of the organization.
At present he is again chairman
of the program committee, by
appointment of Lawrence W.
Crohn, president. In 1935 Mr.
and Mrs. Ellmann visited Pales-
tine and later attended the ses-
sions of the World Zionist Con-
gress in Lucerne, Switzerland.
As chairman of the executive
board, as vice-president and now
as president of Knollwood Coun-
try Club, Mr. Ellmann succeeded
in placing this club on a sound
financial basis and to raise it to
the standards of the most impor-
tant country clubs in the coon
try.
• Mr. Ellman is also active in
the American Jewish Congress
movement and has served the De-
troit chapter in numerous im-
portant efforts to prevent injus-
tice to Jews in this community.
He participated in initial efforts
for the organization of the Jew-
ish Community Council and his
studious proposals are among the
important rules incorporated in
the constitution of the Council.
Ile has worked for years in Al-
lied Jewish Campaigns and is
among the select who are always
called upon for advice in com-
munity matters.

MRS. JOSEPH WEINGARDEN, President
have lifted up an ensign for the
gathering in of our exiles; they
who first rebuilt Zion in their
hearts have sought to lead the
people toward a Zion of free-
dom, righteousness and peace.
WE ARE A PEOPLE
They have often despaired;
they have often faltered. Ar-
rayed against them were so
many forces within the souls of
the frightened and the op-
pressed. They did not hope;
they had in recent years no rea-
son to hope that from the dark
and disastrous world of the pres-
ent there would come the enun-
ciation of a great principle and
a great act of moral recognition
to sustain them in their work
for the redemption of the peo-
ple. They were desperately
afraid that this whole genera-
tion and perhaps even the next
generation would be like those
desert generations of old who
not only never saw the prom-
ised land but often forgot both
land and promise. That despair
is over; that hopelessness is done
with. That cry that wrung it-
self from the breast of Theodor
Herzl and has wrung itself
again and again from every fol-
lower and disciple of his as the
&eat cleansing and liberating
cry: "We are a people— one
people!"—that cry has now been
incorporated in the political
foundations of Western mankind.
The principle has been laid down
and the act of moral acknowl-
edgement accomplished. No more
can the renegade out of fright
or the worldling or the dry of
soul and indifferent offer spa-
cious arguments for his betrayal
of Israel or his slothful with-
drawal from his people's cause
on the ground that there is no
people. He will now have to
know himself for what he is
and knowing himself and ex-
amining himself he will not want
to remain either a derelict or an
obstacle upon the path of his
people and his people's redemp-
tion.
Many men and many good
men have not quite given them-
selves to the redemption of Is-
rael because they conceived of
our religion as an universal re-
ligion and did not desire to nar-
row the vision of Isaiah of God's
house as a house of prayer for
all peoples. They need not on
this Rosh Ilashonah give up one
jot of the prophetic vision. They
need merely remember that the
great religions are not abstract
things but concrete instrumen-
talities that work themselves out
in human history. Their revela-
tions are endlesS and their
truths not rigid and finished but
dynamic and alive. Since it has
been demonstrated over and
over again that Israel cannot be
redeemed in exile, that is, living
as scattered and oppressed mi-
nority groups and since Israel's
exile, namely, these scattered mi-
nority groups, have evoked in
pagan men, in Spain, Russia,
Germany, Poland, in nations past
and present, sin and crime and
viciousness that have immeasur-
ably darkened and corrupted the
moral life of those nations—
nothing, but nothing at all in
the whole course of Western his-
tory is so luminously clear as
the fact that the redemption of
Israel and of the nations is in-
dissolubly one. Let as first re-
deem the people Israel from ser-
vitude; let us next redeem the
nations from the burden of
their dreadful sins against the
people Israel. Then but not un-
til then can begin our task of
making concrete or, at least,
coucreter and concreter the
prophet's vision and the prophet's
dream. Let as make the greater
ultimate State of Israel a State
of utter freedom, justice, peace.
Let it be torch, beacon-fire, sig-
nal amid the darker polities of
the world; let it be, by God's
help and mercy to Israel, the
symbol of the better State of the
future. Then will pilgrims in
search of knowledge, light and
life indeed come from the ends
of the earth to Zinn, to that
eternal Zion of the prophet
which it is for us—for us—to
build.
