No serious-minded Jew can contemplate the events in the Jewish world during 5699 without echoing the cry of anguish of the prophet: "For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint." The New Year opens in pervading gloom. "Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn." The storm which had been gathering upon the horizon has at last burst in all its fury. Our thoughts must needs turn to our brethren in Poland, who, in con- sequence of the war now raging in that country, are exposed to the gravest dangers conceivable. Yet Rosh Hashonah, with its cheering outlook upon life, bids us take heart. It brings us the reassuring mes- sage of malchiyuth, God's providence, that has guided and guarded our people throughout the ages. The year 5700 will make many demands upon American Israel. We must hold ourselves in readiness to exert our utmost endeavors to meet those demands. Let it be borne in mind, however, that our duties to stricken Israel, onerous and exacting though they be, do not exempt us from what, in the last analysis, is our highest duty. Our great need today is a revival of Judaism, a return to God, a deeper spiritual life, a better understanding and keener appreciation of the eternal values and truths of the Jewish religion. "Come, and let us return unto the Lord; for He hath torn, and He will heal us; He bath smitten, and He will bind us up." "NOTHING WILL CAUSE US TO DESPAIR" A Message on the New Year 5700 By DR. JOSEPH H. HERTZ Chief Rabbi of the British Empire EDITOR'S NOTE: The following message, prepared for The De- troit Jewish Chronicle by Chief Rabbi Dr. Hertz several days before the declaration of war against Germany by Great Britain, is of great importance at this time. At a moment when the issues of war and peace are in the balance, the Jew's supplication to our Father in Ileaven must be for mankind to be spared the horror and devastation of a world conflict. With especial fervor should be repeated the New Year prayer for the advent of the day when the just shall be mighty. For the danger of the outbreak of war recedes and ceases altogether, if the cham- pions of the rule of law among the nations can defy those who are working for the destruction both of the European system and of the moral values of Judeo-Christian civilization, Should — God forbid — war come, none will respond more gladly than Britain's Jewish children to the national call that freedom perish not from the earth. For Israel such freedom is the portion in ever-fewer lands. Throughout Germany and its sat- ellite states, the Jew is denied elementary human rights, and his whole existence has become a nightmare. And now the last hope of the Jewish masses is about to be dashed to the ground. The recent White Paper on l'alestine would soon bar the gates of the Jewish National Home to. Jews, and doom its Jew- ish population to permanent mi- nority status. This policy has been denounced as stark injustice by the Mandate Commission of the League of Nations; nor has Great Britain spoken its last word on the question. And the Divine Promise of Israel's re- storation to, and resurrection in, the Holy Land stands high above Plea for Tolerance By Justice Black N. Y. Supreme Court Jurist Is Author of Scholarly Work "If I Were • Jew" Pleading against condemnation of all Germans for the sins of the Nazis, the Hon. William liar- man Black, Justice of the New York Supreme Court, has writ- ten a powerful indictment of prejudice and intolerance in his book, "If I Were a Jew," which has been published by the Real Book Co., 101 W. 58th St., New York ($2.50). Justice Black's book stands out for its scientific character as a research document. It is schol- arly in every respect, its argu- ments are backed by facts and figures and the entire work re- veals that much effort and study has been necessary in its arena- ration. "If I Were a Jew" is remark- able not only for its powerful research technique but also be- cause it is written in style easy enough for the average person to digest. Ridiculing the evasion of is- sues when tolerance and good will are at stake, Justice Black, who is honorary chairman of the Inter-Faith Movement, pleads for a sane approach to existing prob- lems and urges that they be faced frankly and boldly. ' Having made a tour of Europe, in the course of which he cur- teyed Hitler Germany, Justice Black wrote this book in order to expose the moral and finan- cial breakdown of Germany tin- der the rule of the Nazis and to reveal to Americans how Ger- man labor has been enslaved. The Vatican is quoted at length by Justice Black to show how the late Pope Pius XI fought for tolerance and for de- cent treatment of the Jews. The late Louis Wolheim, in his day, helped many young actors in the rudiments of mugging. Some of the young men he aided are stars today in their own right, and of these Adolph Men- jou knew Wolheim better than anyone else. Menial]. while at Cornell, had Wolheim for a professor, and one day decided to play a practical joke on him. Professor Wolheim didn't see the humor in the joke and hit Menjou flush on the chin knock- ing him down a flight of Cor- nell stairs. any ephemeral efforts of man to thwart God's everlasting pur- poses. In the meantime, a grim chap- ter is being added to the story of the Wandering Jew. Men and women, hounded from their homes by totalitarian persecu- tion, fall an easy prey to those who hold out to them the prom- ise of entry into some free country. In consequence, these pitiable victims of man's inhu- manity to man sail for months from port to port, and are every- where refused permission to land. Several such crews, ragged and famished, have been thrown upon the shore in Palestine and the British soldiers who were or- dered to intern them shared their rations and clothing with them. It is such acts of kindness on the part of humble men, no less than of statesmen like Lord Baldwin and ''resident Roosevelt, who have been touched by the ghastly tragedy of the refugee problem, that save the honor of the human race at a time when a powerful nation is loading it with unexpiable infamy. Amid all the woe of the pres- ent, therefore, nothing will cause us to despair of Israel and hu- manity, or to doubt the eternal justice. We repeat with the Psalmist, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me." Like our fa- thers before us, we will prove ourselves worthy of the truth that has been entrusted to our care. We will transmit it un- diminished to those who come after us, for it alone has planted everlasting life within us. General Jewish Council Special Meeting Sunday The holding of a special meeting on Sunday, Sept. 17, of the General Jewish Council to consider the problems aris- ing out of the present world situation was announced by Arthur S. Meyer, chairman of the policy and program com- mittee. Principal consideration will be given at this meeting to a proposal for the summoning of a conference of certain representative organization, in addition to the agencies con- stituting the General Jewish Council, I. e., the American Jewish Committee, American Jewish Congress, Bnai Brith, and the Jewish Labor Commit- tee. Jewish Loyalty Has No Limits There is no limit to the loyalty of Jews to the countries of their birth or adoption. Jews in Rus- sia had an inherent love for the land of their birth, and their as- pirations were for on ideal life for all groups of the population under an honest government. The same applies to Jews in all lands, not only in democratic countries like the United States, Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, the Scandinavian countries, etc. It also applies to the German Jew, even today. German Jews still love Ger- many, German culture, the Ger- man people. It is safe to assume that when Germany is cleansed of the Nazi scourge, many who are today refugees will return to their fatherland to resume their lives as Germans. There may be disagreement on this score. There is sentiment among many that Jews ought to leave Germany never to return, and that the punishment ought to be on a par with the punish. ment that was meted out to Spain where Jews were unknown for many generations. But his- torical experiences point to loy- alty surviving persecution. The brilliantly compiled source book "The Jew in the Medieval World" by Dr. Jacob R. Marcus, professor of history at Hebrew Union College, published by the Union of American Hebrew Con- gregations, contains an interest- ing chapter in proof of the con- tention that Jews are prepared to forgive when they are given JOINS YOU .. . in Greeting the Dawning of the New Year . . .

The tragedy recorded in this book deals with the period of 1348-1349, when the Jews were blamed for the Black Death epidemic. At Stras- bourg, the mob clamored for the lives of all the Jews. The town council wanted to save the Jews, but was deposed and a new coun- cil yielded to the mob. The Jews were arrested on Feb. 13, 1349, and were burned the following day. The tragic story, as record- ed by Dr. Marcus, reads: .(ht Satunlay—amt was St. Valen- tines Day—they burnt the Jeas on s wooden platform. Them acre shout too thousand people of them.

Here is history with a lesson. Jews are kicked out, taken back again, only to be kicked again. Jews are persecuted because the mob wants their money. But Jews are steadfast in their faith.
