Pray for Fulfillment of Zion
Prophecy, Rabbinate Urges
In connection with the Selihoth services which will introduce
the high holiday season at midnight this Saturday, the entire rab-
binate of the city has issued the following call to prayer. The Council
of Orthodox Rabbis, sponsor of the call, has been joined by the rabbis
of Temple Beth El, Temple Israel, Shaarey Zedek and the Northwest
Hebrew Congregation, in urging the community to participate in
the penitential services.
In thy distress, thou wilt return to the Lord thy God and heark-
en unto His voice." (Dent. IV, 30.)

proaches we, the rabbis of Detroit, call upon our brethren to assemble
in their synagogues at midnight Saturday, Sept. 6, for prayer and
meditation.

experienced in a long and tragic history. Six million innocent men
and women of our people met their death in the crematories and con-
at the hands of an enemy that threatened

The survivors of that grim cataclysm are now in displaced per-
sons camps without any promise of home and refuge where they
might weave together the threads of their broken lives. Several
thousands of them have been on a ship in the open sea for almost
two months, victims of the misguided policies of the British govern-

The sole hope of our homeless brethren is Palestine. For 2,000
years Israel has prayed and longed for its homeland, and has looked
forward to the fulfillment of the prophetic vision of a Zion restored.
As we convene in our houses of worship let us pray that God
