"Significance"
Baptist Student Receives Bnai Brith Hillel
Foundation Inter-Faith Fellowship at Alabama
The skies were clear
Above our land so dear,
Yet a day goes down in history
When so subtle an act
As the Jap attack
Brought war to our nation,
born—others to free.
On that December seven
'Twas recorded in Heaven
Aggressors struck hard our
democracy;
Forever are such records kept
For those who died, who bled,
who wept,
And all who still protect sweet
liberty.
Some pattern fair
Is woven there
To restore this world- to its just
peace;
As in eras before
Justice settled the score
We hope on, the inferno soon
will cease.
On our Chanukah, too,
Aggressors struck at the Jew
With abandon—no mercy in
reserve;
Chasmonoyim heroes rose
To vanquish all our foes,
The Maccabean victory can a
present example serve.

Following
special prayers for the hundreds
of thousands of Jewish victims
of Hitlerism, the rabbis marched
in procession to the Wailing
Wall. Marching side by side with
the mourning rabbis were Chap-
lains of all the Allied armies
stationed in the Holy Land.
Opening the assembly, Chief
Rabbi Herzog stated that the
meeting had been called to
"raise the conscience of human-
ity in view of the massacres per-
petrated on our people in all the
Nazi-occupied countries "
"This great rabbinical assem-
bly appeals to all nations and
governments in the name of the
living God, in the name of hun-
dreds of thousands of martyrs
and in the name of the remnant
struggling in torture and agony;
awake to the divine and historic
call of Israel's supreme agony.
Rescue those who can still be
rescued. Take measures while
there is yet time to stay the
fiendish hand of the assassin."
The Chief Rabbi continued:
"Let all humanity unite to save
a nation from slaughter, use all
means to take out of the valley
of death those doomed to utter
destruction. Let the gates of all
ands be flung wide open. Let
shelter be accorded to those flee-
ng from the inferno, until God
vouchsafes grace to His people
and their historic cradle."
Addressing himself to world
eaders of the Church, Rabbi
Herzog said: "See what has been
wrought on the people of the
Prophets; the blood of their sons
and daughters and babes has
been spilled like water through-
out Europe. Gather all your
hearts and souls and might; use
your influence to halt the shed-
ing of innocent blood. Have we
not all one Father and has not
ne God created us?"
Isaac Ben-Zvi, president of the,
ewish National Council of Pal-
stine, speaking before the ex-
raordinary session of the Jew-
sh National Assembly convoked
ci protest against the mass
laughter of Jews by the Nazis,
barged that "the democracies
re standing aloof in the blackest
ay of Jewish history by refus-
ng to open the gates of their
ountries for Jews escaping the
word of the Nazi assassin."
Another speaker at the special
eeting of the assembly was
iss Henrietta Szold, world lead-
r of Hadassah, who called upon
to women of the world to save
he Jewish children in occupied
urope from certain death at
he hands of the Nazis.
