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.

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 as well as the other Officers of the Ladies Auxiliary of Congregation B'nai David ELMHURST and FOURTEENTH extends best wishes for a Happy and Prosperous New Year to all its members, also to the entire Jewish Community. Sincere New Year Greetings CAMP MEHIA IN THE IRISH HILLS MR. SHLOIME BERCOVICII MRS. EDITH BERCOVICII Visited Palestine 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. ANDERS welcome this opportunity to extend WOODWARD 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.
