Jacobs Elected

Herman Jacobs, executive direc-
tor of the Center, was elected to
the Board of Directors of the So-
cial Workers Club on May 15 for
a three-year term expiring in 1949.
Mr. Jacobs previously served on
the board and was vice-president.

Only the other day a Christian
gentleman said to me: "You Jews
know how to stick together." He
was deploring the divisions in his
Christian told and wishing Chris-
tians could be as united as he
believed the Jews are. When he
was a young man he had heard
that the Jews were well united
and had taken it for granted ever
since.
I could have told him: "Oh, my
dear sir, you should know the
truth about unity among the
Jews. We are about as united as a
high school debating society.
"Yes, we love to be on opposi-
tion. We like to hear our voices
declaiming against this and that
in our Jewish affairs. Our meetings
are oratorical contests in which
seldom anybody wins.
"You should be at one of our
meetings. Let's say it's a meet-
ing called for the good and wel-
fare of unity in Israel. Nearly ev-
erybody present feels called upon
to be controversial and give a
speech. I'm there but, fortunate-
ly, I am tongue-tied when it
comes to public speaking.

"Before the meeting is over I
am wishing that all Israel were
tongue-tied, for the sake of unity.
I squirm and wonder how I ever
let myself get dragged into this.
It turns out to be not a meeting
for Israel's unity but a dialectic
competition.

"Mr. Montgomery starts it off,
as he always does at every Jew-
ish meeting. I remember Mr.
Montgomery from way back when
he won a prize for an elocutionary
effort in our temple Sunday
school. My envious parents said
to me, 'Why can't you be a buy
like Montgomery?' I never won a
prize for speaking and my par-
ints could feel sure I had no fu-
ture in Israel.

"Montgomery went on from ora-
torical flight to flight as his young
voice increased. He arrived at the
stratosphere in his senior year a-
the university when he won the
gold medal for his oration on
"Patagonia: What Can We Do to
Improve It?" His mouth hasn't
been shut since.

"Scarcely has a meeting been
called to order than he is on nis

may be some hope for unity in
Israel, considering the way Israel
managed to stay most effectively
united in the National Jewish
Welfare Board all through the
war.

In JWB's war work 38 national
Jewish organizations were affili-
ated, to say nothing of 681 Army
and Navy local committees that
worked along with the Jewish
Welfare Board.

The fine success that was
achieved suggests that when Is-
rael gets together for action :t
accomplishes much more than
when Israel just trades words.
The Jewish Welfare Board re-
cruited, certified and served 311
rabbis as chaplains on all the
battlefronts; it kept, for the sake
of history, a meticulous record
of the part Jews had in the war.

(A half million Jewish soldiers
and sailors -- the equivalent of
33 divisions were in it; more
than 7,000 Jews died in service,
almost 6,000 of them in battle;
15,000 Jewish men and women re-
ceived 29,004 awards for valor and
merit; thousands of Jewish fam-
ilies gave more than three mem-
bers to the services./

Jewish soldiers and sailors in ev-
ery large city.

On account of this happy ex-
perience of unity in Israel, Mr.
Weil is feeling hopeful. He says.
"This record of war-inspired co-
operation is a healthy portent for
the future. That JWB and its 38
constituent and affiliated national
Jewish organizations, representing
every shade of Jewish thought and
opinion, could join forces for war
services is proof that, when con-
fronted with an urgent need, Am-
erican Jewry can and will recon-
cile its difference and act in con-
cert for the good of Klal Yisroel.
No longer can we afford the lux-
ury of rival ideologies, organiza-
tional chauvinism and petty sec-
tarianism to create roadblocks on
the path of cooperative efforts for
the best interests and welfare of
American and world Jewry."

"I ask did they arrive at unity
in Israel? I am told that nothing
was decided. Nobody would give

' Operation Jewish Unity." It was
