OUR ANSWER TO CALL OF THE TIMES New Year Message

Happy New Year to All !

Thomas McCann

By HENRY MONSKY
President of Bnai Brith

By RABBI LEON FRAM

"Return, 0 Israel" is our mes-
sage for this season.
The ideals for which Israel has
lived—the dignity of man and
the unity of mankind—have be-
come the rallying cry of the
civilized world.
Millions of men and women
have discovered in the past year
that all their possessions can be
lost overnight, that all their de-
fences can be overrun in an
hour. One possession only is
secure. It is a man's ideals, his
faith, his spirit. This no army
can destroy. This no dictator
can take away. Holding on to
his faith, a man has a future,
though he loses all else.
"Return, 0 Israel unto the
Lord thy God" said the prophet
Hosea, and his voice vibrates
down to us across the ages.
Our faith remains our only
security. We shall resist the ene-
mies of mankind, we shall solve
our problems, and secure a fu-
ture for our children, only to
the extent that we revive our
faith, return to the synagogue,
and learn again to pray.
