the . Sholar Sounds - By FRANK L. WEIL President, National Jewish Welfare Board As the sound of the Shofar heralds the coming of Rosh Hashanah, we face the year 5704 with new hope and with re- newed confidence in the future. The tide of victory has definite- ly turned our way and the heroic exploits of our armed forces and our great allies gives every in- dication of ultimate triumph over the totalitarian forces that, for a time, threakened to engulf the world. Our immediate task remains what it has been for the past two years, to bend our every effort to the winning of the -war. As the. representatives of -the American JeWish community the Nationale Jewish Welfare Board will continue to provide for the religious.; cultural and reeled-, tional needs of the Jewish men and woMen in the service both at horne. and- in the far-flung battle fields -of the world. ":Plan for Peace We will continue to act -in terms of the present needs,' but we muSt think and plan for the days of 'Peace to come and the experience of. the Jewish Wel- fare Board in this war gives - promise of a finer, a better and a healthier Jewish community after the war. To serve our Jewish men and women in uniform 37 National Jewish organizations represent- ing every section of Jewish thinking in America are working jointly :and in cooperation with the Jewish Welfare Board. The natural differences that exist be- tween them are subordinated to the common good; the ultimate program presented to the com- munity is a joint program in which all concur. . causes that serve the welfare of our people. The record of our Jewish youth in service in this war gives the direct lie to those who said be- fore the war that there was no hope for Jewish youth. We have been privileged through our work to come in contact with countless numbers of these serv- icemen and women. We have watcher them mature from the uncertainty of the early days to t h e confident champions of liberty they are today. These youthful fighters are God-fear- ing men, participating in religi- ous services and anxious for re- ligious guidance. They will be among the leaders who will build the American future and who will uphold the democratic tra- ditions of ancient Judaism. It is they who will help make it pos- sible for us to look to the future with a spirit of optimism and challenge. Meet Every Test As individuals and as groups this war has brought us into closest cooperation and relation- ship with our Christian neigh- bors. We know now, more than ever, how possible and good it is for Jew and Jew to dwell in unity and for Jew and Christian to strive in unison for a common cause. We know that the youth upon whom our future depends can meet every test put to them. We look forward in the New Year which lies before us with increased hope to a more vital and intelligent Judaism, that will contribute in even greater measure to the welfare of the country of which we are, so proudly, a part.
