A great writer of Palestine
- - — -
wrote once, that while in the
great past of Jewish history the
stress and emphasis that was
put upon the duty of the Jew
"Kiddush Hashem" to sanctify
and glorify the name of God, at
present, a new note must be add-
ed to this grand concept of Juda-
ism: Namely, "Kiddush Hach-
aim," the sanctification of human
life by the recognition of the
dignity, value, and priceless
worth of human life. Participat-
ing lavishly, generously in the
War Chest, saving and up-build-
ing by it numberless human ex-
istences, Jewish and non-Jewish,
the Jew accomplishes at once
both things: He sanctifies and
glorifies the God of Israel, and
bears witness to the sanctity, in-
violability, and digrity of Man.
The problem of the medieval
alchemist was how to transform
ignoble crude metals into pure,
refined gold—the great problem
of our age is to transform gold
into human assets, into human
values, into means for the up-
uilding of Man. At the very start
of the World War, President
Roosevelt stated that in these
extraordinary times we must
transform our money-making and
acquisitive aility into altruistic
money-giving, money-distriuting
faclities!
The first paragraph in Mai-
monides "Laws of Zedokoh"
reads: "It is the special, sacred
duty of the Jew to provide and
to take care of his haunted,
needy brother Jew--because if
the Jew has no pity and compas-
•
sion for his fellow Jew—to whom
shall he apply in his need and
plight—maybe to his tormenters
and persecutors?" Maimonidcs
eloquent words are doubly true,

and of double significance in
day when, under the inspiration
of President Roosevelt even "Ne-

tiles, make it their duty to save,
