women and their families, to-
gether with their friends and
neighbors, will renew to read a
short message of gratitude and
explanation to all who share the
birthday meal. In it they will
express their gratitude "that we,
a free Jewry, can give to those
of our people who are less for-
tunate some proof of our sym-
pathy and evidence of our sup-
port.. . . This oimele meal is a
symbol that Jews in America
are sharing their blessings with
Jews all over the world. We feel
a sense of dedication in this
sharing: it is a ceremony which
makes our own freedom more
precious because through it we
are able to bring freedom to
many thousands of children."
More than 3,100 adolescent
boys and girls between the ages
of 15 and 17 have been trans-
ferred to Palestine from Ger-
many, Austria, Czechoslovakia,
, Poland and Rumania. They have
already been settled in some 35
agricultural colonies and three
trade centers which have gradu-
ated more than half of them
from two and three year courses
of training in agriculture and
other vocations.
It is characteristic of Miss
Scold that 'at. 70, after a long
life of hard and inspiring work,
she should once more put behind
her the quiet .nd serenity which
are her due and assume leadet-
ahip of a new effort among Pal-
estine women to adopt at least
10,000 Jewjah children from Eu-
rope within the pest few months.

of the Balfour Declaration as is
the promise of the Jewish Na-
tional Home. Resenting the dis-
turbance of their accustomed
ways of life and alarmed at
the prospect of Jewish political
domination, they have proved
easy victims to agitation, by no
means all home-grown or unin-
terested. The British government
has been struggling with the con-
sequence of the disorders which
had resulted. Their task, once
order is restored, will be to see
to it that whether by agreement
between Jews and Arabs or by
direct British decision, the
pledges given to both sides in
the Balfour Declaration shall be
honestly fulfilled, by weighing
the scales fairly between both
sides in Palestine itself. We can-
not, it seems to me, ignore the
wider aspects of the problem.
We are entitled to consider
how small a portion it is that is
affected by Jewish settlement of
that spacious Arab World which
won its national freedom by the
victory of the Allies. We cannot
forget, on the other hand, the
dire need of the Jews in Central
Europe and, above all, of those
who in Germany are suffering un-
der a persecution as bestial in
its methods as it is fiendishly
cruel in its cold blood.

Henrietta Szold was born in
Baltimore, Md., just before the
Civil War, the daughter of the
rabbi and scholar, Benjamin
Scold. She studied German, Ile-
brew and French with her father
and grew to girlhood through the
turbulent post-war years better
equipped than most young wom-
en of her time. The sphere for
women's activities in the early
1870's and 80's was limited, but
Henrietta Szold , knew she wanted
to be a teacher. At first, she
taught at an aristocratic private
school, but soon, urged on by
concepts of social reform and a
desire to help the masses of her
fellow-Americans, both Jewish
and non-Jewish, she began to
reach out into other fields. The
large-scale immigration of Jews
which began in the 80's after
persecutions in Czarist Russia,
gave her an opportunity for new
and what was then considered ex-
perimental work. She began to
help these new immigrants, first
as individuals, later in small
groups and soon through her as-
sociation with a literary society
of young people, in regular
classes where she taught English
and a constructive approach to
the new and bewildering Ameri-
can life which these emigres from
oppression had sought.
In 1909 Miss Scold went to
Palestine for the first time. She
was horrified by the Near East
standards of living which pre-
vailed in Palestine under a Turk-
ish regime and was galvanized
into action. She returned to
America the following year and
in 1912 she organized a group
of women whose specific task was
to be the bringing of modern
methods of medical science into
Palestine. Her unique talents as

German Hell on Earth. Yet it
remains that nowhere else than
in Palestine can comparatively
large numbers be immediately
absorbed and be assured not
only of refuge or of the hope
of eventual assimilation but of
an abiding home of their very
own.
That brings me to the last part
of the Balfour Declaration and
that is the effect of the success
of the Zionist movement upon
that great majority of Jews who
will always continue to remain
citizens of countries other than
Palestine. Will it tend to make
them aliens, to weaken or direct
their patriotism? I would beg you
to look around and as an in-
stance, ask yourself, is there one
of all those Americans whom you
know who are of Scottish origin,
who is a worse American citizen
for being proud of that little
country across the Atlantic
whose mountains and rivers he
may never see, but whose land-
scape is intimately familiar to
him? Surely, these things only
strengthen the quality of their
American citizenship. So, too, I
believe that the success of this
great experiment of restoring to
Jewry the home of 2,000 years
of dreams and prayers will not
only bring happiness to those
Jews who themselves take part
in its re-establishment, but add
new vigor and quality to the
loyal citizenship of Jews in all
lands. .

LIBRARY BUILDING FUND CAMPAIGN
FOR HEBREW THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE

More than 100,000 Jewish stu-
dents are enrolled at the universi-
ties and colleges of the land. Of
this number, but a scant 1,500 are
to be found in Jewish seminaries
devoted to the study of the Torah.
The renowned Yeehibot of Wolo-
zhin, Mir, Slobodka, Telshi and
the numerous others that grace
Jewish life in eastern Europe are
in many instances unknown even
to some of the students in schools
of Jewish learning in America.
There was no Jewish commu-
nity in eastern Europe without
its group of young scholars con-
eentrated around the personality
of the rabbi or some great Lamdan,
who absorbed them in the study
of Torah and the pursuit of Jewish
scholarship. The ambitious youth
invariably went to the great Jew-
ish centers of learning—the Yeshi-
bot above-mentioned.
The Hebrew Theological College
of Chicago Is one of these great
strongholds of traditional Judaism
in America today. Established in
1921, it has since become an out-
standing Rabbinical Seminary with
two departments: the Yeshivath
Etz Chaim, or preparatory school,
offering a four-year course of
study, and the Rabbinical depart-
ment, The academic Bachelor's
Degree is a pre-reiuisite for or-
dination. The cirneulum of the
college includes Talmud, Codes,
Response, Bible, Medieval and
Modern Hebrew Literature, Jew-
ish History and Philosophy and
Homiletics.
It is headed by Rabbi Saul Sil-
ber, its president; Rabbi Jacob
Greenberg, its dean, and by Rabbi
Samuel S. Siegel, its executive di-
rector.
For seven years, however, de-
predation was permitted to set in,
because of lack of sufficient funds
during the depression. Now a cam-
paign for ;125,000 has been launch-
ed, to cover the cost involved in
the completion of the structure,

which was dedicated Dec. 4. The
sum of $50,000 is being raised for
this purpose in Chicago.
The Detroit campaign for the
Hebrew Theological College will be
launched Jan. 7, In accordance
with a decision of the local Coun-
cil of Orthodox Rabbis, and a com-
mittee of' prominent laymen, or-
ganized for this purpose. Rabbis
Saul Silber, Menachem B. Zarin;
and Harold Beyer of Chicago will
come here to help in the drive.
