but because the non-Jews force
us to. Since we entered upon the
Main Street era of our existence,
that is since we, became eman-
cipated and more or less assimi-
lated with the life surrounding us,
many of us have tried to be so-
ciable with non-Jews on that busy
highway and to avoid our Jewish
business competitors—or even just
fellow-Jews who are not competi-
tors. Sometimes we succeed, more

We try and try again to win
favor of our Gentile fellow-
citizens and we think that the
1' process will be made easier for
us by criticizing our own fellow-
Jews and by giving them the cold
shoulder. As Jews who live and
do business on the Main Streets
of the Western world, many of
the most successful and Influen-
tial among us are torn between
self•hatred and the necessity for
embracing each other and crying
"brother" when the Gentile repudi.

New York, the biggest Main
Street of them all, one vast cen-
ter of commerce and of culture-
over-the-counter, is seemingly a
Jewish town—as all the American
anti-Semites, and foreign ones as
well, would have us believe. And
yet I often shudder to hear New
York Jews speaking about each
other. This, however, does . not
mean that the majority of them
have the least intention to escape
from the Jewish community—no,
not that. It is simply that living
in the world's great competitive
market-place where people are
taught that the great goal In life
Is to "get ahead" and the devil
take the hindmost, Jews who have
a long history in common and
who feel that history in their
bones are uncertain as to whether
they should strange or embrace
one another.
Of late years Palestine too has
become a world's main highway,
a sort of competitive Main Street
among the nations of the world
and that perhaps may be why we
Jews, desiring Palestine for our-
selves, seem to have so much
trouble over it. Since World War
]`Palestine has been an important
military and air base and a great
outlet for oil, a world highway
rather than a byway, and there-
NEW YEAR'S MESSAGE
from
JOHN S. KNIGHT
In this Rosh Hashonah of 5707 all people of good will
who have the faith of God in their hearts will offer a prayer
of hope in this hour of agony and sacrifice.
It Is a time, as the Scriptures tell us, when God passes
judgment upon all the inhabitants of the earth; a season of
self examination and repentance, therefore, and the reconcilia-
tion of man with man, and man with God, in the eternal
seeking for deeper understanding of the spiritual life.
All history proclaims the great contributions of the Jews
to the service of mankind; not alone in the highest spiritual
ideals of Israel, but In the arts and sciences, inifferature and
in the development of a world culture.
May the blowing of the Shofor, on thl /day of deepest
spiritual significance, sound a new note of 'hope for your peo-
ple of the earth who have contributed so much and who have
suffered so greatly; that God, in His infinite wisdom, shall
bring His light to all mankind, that there may be peace on
earth.

fore several nations have cast
and or jealous glances in itc di-
rection. Arabs, dreaming of a re-
newal of their former power,
Imagine that they will be strang-
led without that small strip of
Palestine sea-coast. The British
believe that Palestine is vitally
necessary to maintain their Em-
pire communications and to repel
an attack by a possible enemy on
those communications. The Rus-
sians are jealous of England's
power in the Mediterranean area
and would like to get her cut of
Palestine. And so it goes.
Palestine, when the Jews had
their own kingdom there and cre-
ated a religion which changed the
whole aspect of the Western
world, was definitely not on the
world's highway. It was rather a
small out-of-the-way country in-
habited mainly by poor, pious
peasants, and surrounded by rich-

Main Street Jews of most other

ate a truly Jewish place that will
be free of the self-hatreds of other
lands. And there, too, they are
discovering the importance of the
byways, the out-of-the-way quiet
places of the world, and creating
Jewish farms and factories which
will be closely interwoven with
their own cities, which will not

as is the Gentile farm and fac-

In Palestine Jews are learning
again, after nearly two thousand
years, that Main Street Isn't the
only place where one may live,
do business and get a great kick
out of life.
