has welcomed the refugees, both
during the war and now.
Commenting on his efforts to

to get people out of enemy coun-

Play Directed by Zemon

Ensnared by the tendrils that circle and coil,

Distilling their venom on double-edged steel.

Jews of the world, to the rescue, awake, the time now hath come:

Enlarge your endeavors to succor the helpless, the remnant displaced

With food and with raiment and the balm that healeth

In desolate lands, far from welcoming shores.

Stretch forth your arms, n-iy brothers, in mercy;

holding the captives close to your heart.

Comfort them brothers by giving and giving

A measureless gift that knoweth no bounds.

Make their sorrows less poignant, less bitter their tears.

Point them the path of the prophet who ever proclaims:

"As long as one "of us still liveth and breatheth,

In vain are the snares and pits. of the foe."

.

God of our Fathers, Thou, Israel's Keeper-

Nigh is thy help; Thy pledge shall come true.
