Rothstein: ".We want to make our fellow-Jews feel that God enters into our every-day exist- ence, that we serve Him by con- tributing to the improvement of His creation." \Verner: "I suppose that this includes the fight against anti Semitism which we all consider contrary to the precepts of relig- ion." Rothstein: "I think that the anti-Semitism of phenomenon should be of greater concern to the Christian than to the Jew. From one standpoint, however, the United Synagogue is deeply concerned with it, namely, as it affects the personality of the Jews, that is, with the danger of inferiority complexes and mal- a djustment." "What does th.?, Werner: United Synagogue do in this re- spect?" Rothstein: Through the devel- opment of effective educational procedures it endeavors to give the Jew a realistic sense of his own worthwhileness, to provide him with self-respect based upon a knowledge of past achievements as well as a desire to make furth- er contributions to the improve- zts Le Shona Toro Tikosevu A HAPPY NEW YEAR • ment of world conditions. Do you see what I mean? Self-re- spect is a condition sine qua non for inducing respect on the part of others. If you don't respect yourself, you can't demand the respect of others. By fostering this self-respect in the individual Jew, the United Synagogue makes a contribution towards the miti- gation of anti-Semitism." \Verner: "Does the United Synagogue seek the help of Christians in its efforts to im- prove this world?" Rothstein: "Decidedly. T h e ultimate ideals of Christianity and Judaism, our doctrines of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man are identi- cal. We accordingly believe in full cooperation, The more we cooperate with our fellow-citi- zens of the Christian faith, the greater the mutual respect, un- derstanding and friendship." Werner: "You told me of the activities of the 'United Syna- gogue Mobilization for Victory.' I am sure you have already made plans for the postwar period, especially for those of your members now serving in the armed forces who will face many difficulties on their return to their home country, financial and otherwise. Am I right?" Rothstein: "Indeed, at our lat- est convention, in Atlantic City, it was decided that a commis- sion be established to work out means by which the 500,000 Jew- ish boys and girls who will re- turn from the battle fronts of the world can be re-integrated in the religious life of their com- munities.

This will require it much larger budget than the one under which the United Synagogue has been op- erating. As a beginning, the United Synagogue proposes to raise $100,000 for 1944 with the expectation that, as the work develops, the program will re- quire several times that amount annually." Werner: "Does the United Synagogue consider work for the salvation of the remnants of European Jewry as part of its program?" Rothstein: Definitely. What, in the interests of simplicity, we call the 3 R's Program of the United Synagogue, includes Res- cue, Rehabilitation, and Resettle- ment of European Jewry. We do our utmost to help save as many Jewish lives as possible from the claws of the Gestapo. We de- mand the rehabilitation of all victims of Hitlerism after the war, as well as the restoration of their property. Finally, we urge the United Nations to per- mit the homeless Jews either to go back to the countries of their origin and there start life anew, or to emigrate to Palestine.

Werner: "Judging from the fact that your organization es- tablished a synagogue center in Jerusalem, and that three prom- inent members of your group, Judge Louis E. Levinthal, Dr. Solomon Goldman and Dr. Israel Goldstein have been outstanding in American Zionism, I think I am correct in assuming that the United Synagogue is favoring the establishment of a National Jew- ish Home in Palestine. Is that true, Mr. Rothstein?" Rothstein: Certainly. T h e founder of our organization, Pro- fessor Schechter, soon after his arrival in the United States pub- lished an essay fully espousing Zionism. You will find that the United Synagogue congregations provide the greatest strength to the Zionist cause, both in money and leadership." Werner: "At your latest con- vention you must have made nu- merous plans for the improve- ment of certain aspects of your organization. What would you consider the most important ones?"
