missionary to the Jews, driving
many of them back to the old
house of Israel. They had been
going away in many directions
and he brought them home.
But what now? Fortunately, a
Hitler appears only once in an
age, and what's to be done about
keeping Jews consciously Jewish
in the meantime? The gentleman
didn't mean any Jewish con-
sciousness that has to do with
Jewish ritual and religious prac-
tice but with spiritual and moral
living.
He thought this was a matter
for the Jewish press. It had been
full of Jewish pain and lamenta-
tion and now it was about time
the Jewish • press began to tell
people that being a Jew is a
lofty way of life, not just a
slugging match with enemies?
I replied that was an idea.
The gentleman went on to ob-
serve there's much to be Jewish
about after Hitler. lie is himself
a faithful, old hand at being
Jewish. His Judaism is a living
element of his character — an
ideal that gives him light.
Yes, he said, there are great
ways to be Jewish without Hitler
to lash one on. He thought there
should be a revival of the idea
that Judaism is a way by which
men can live nobly.
He asked. "May we not con-
fess that some of us haven't be-
haved as Jews should? Jews at
fleshpots! To be sure, there are
som e no-good people who are
called Christian, but their delin-
quencies excuse no Jew from
walking on the high road of spir-
itual and moral conduct."
Must Know Better
He said time Jew, having lived
much longer, has had more ex-
perience and should know bet-
ter. The Jew, in his conduct, has
been made responsible to all his
people and he must accept the
responsibility. He accepts it
when he takes up being a Jew
as at noble way of living. With
Hitler out, Jews now can apply
henoselves exclusively to this
main end of being Jewish.
The gentleman said that the
Jewish way was a most satisfac-
tory way of life that takes a
man to high places where he
practices the justice, the kind-
ness and humility that the Lord
requires of a man.
Why don't the rabbis teach
more of that? The gentleman
wasn't finding fault with the rab-
bis who, like every one else,
have been troubled about the
elementary matter of Jewish ex-
istence. He guessed that it must
be hard to raise men's eyes to-
ward the stars in an hour when
they are thinking of how to hold
on to the mere right to live.
But now the right to live seems
established again. It's no longer
as it was the other day when
Hitler was around the corner.
Men have seen our old spiritual
teaching reaffirmed by events.
Tile transgressor against God
and man has fallen into the de-
struction which he planned. This
is in accord with our old faith.
Now Jews may take up living
spiritually as people who have
had the proof of their own teach-
ing. They can serve Judaism
and mankind again by the ideal-
ism that is their heritage, with
the moral grandeur which is in-
herent in their faith and history,
with the high mission of Jews
to carry the light of their ideals
before the world.
Hitler's through and the Jews
have been saved again, but for
what? the gentleman asked. They
must make themselves worthy of
the saving by a way of life for
which, as Jews, they have an
ancient chart. It is a way that
reaches toward the stars.
The gentleman asked me to
give all this to Jewish leaders
who should be thinking, what of
Jewish consciousness without Hit-
ler? I said I would, since this
is all in line with my own think-
ing.

goon last winter, are conducted
by a field expedition of the Jew-
ish Palestine Exploration Society.
Not far below the surface the
expedition found buildings dat-
ing from the Second Temple era,
between 2,000 and 2,500 years
ago.
Particular interest was aroused
by two groups of buildings on
either side of a roadway ten
meters broad (a meter is 39.37
inches), comprising part of a
suburb of which construction be-
gan during the Ptolemaic period.
One of these houses had a paved
inner courtyard, living rooms,
bath house, kitchen and store
rooms.
A large amount of pottery was
found, including some from out-
side Palestine, like jars from
Rhodes with handles bearing
seals from the period 220 to
180 C. E.
Then the excavators came upon
a few vestiges of large buildings
that were probably temporary
Roman military barracks during
the period of the great Jewish
revolt which occurred on the
eve of the destruction of the
Second Temple.
During this thole, 5,000 years
ago, Beth-Yerach was probably
one of the largest and most im-
portant market towns in north-
ern Palestine, serving as a cen-
ter for a progressive and densely
populated agricultural and trad-
ing. area,
Beth-Yerach, apparently, was
finally destroyed around the
Twenty-fourth Century B. C.,
possibly as a result of a flood,
and was not settled again until
about two centuries later. The
expedition was able to study the
fortifications around the town,
including part of a stone wall.

Labor to Raise
$150,00 for ORT

NEW YORK.—Organized la-
bor in New York City has pledg-
ed to help the ORT Labor Com-
mittee raise its 1945 quota of
$150,000 toward the world ORT
goal of $2,450,000, Both the
CIO and AFL are aiding the
ORT, which stands for Organiza-
tion for Rehabilitation through
Training. It aims to train Euro-
pean Jews to become artisans.

JERUSALEM (WNS).—Elihau
Dobkin, chief of the immigration
department of the Jewish Agen-
cy, disclosed that only 1,000 im-
migration certificates remained
open to Jews under the White
Paper quota.
Commenting on the allotment
of :3,000 certificates this week
by the Palestine Government,
Mr. Dobkin said that "in the
light of the tremendous need and
the demand for certificates "the
allotment of 3,000 visas was "mis-
erable and insulting." In every
corner of Europe, he stressed,
"people released from concentra-
tion camps by the tens of thou-
sands, who can find no rest or
peace, wish to emigrate to Pal-
estine, which is ready to absorb
them."
