The Jewish National Fund Council
of Detroit Extends Heartiest New
Year Greetings to Detroit Jewry .
We take this means of thanking art contributors to the Israel land redemption
fund for their generosity during 5709 and we look forward to their continued
cooperation during 5710.
The New Year Challenges Us to Make
More Rapid Strides in the Redemption
Of Large Stretches of Land in Israel
The victory of the past year does not represent a final accomplishment. The
establishment of the State of Israel and its defense constitute merely a stage in the
attainment of the final purpose. That purpose is to make room in Israel for every
Jew who needs and wishes to settle there.
Clearly, the present citizens of Israel cannot conceivably shoulder this burden
alone. They cannot be expected to bear the whole load of absorption of the masses
of Jews streaming into the country from month to month. They cannot be ex-
pected to meet the enormous cost of acquiring and reclaiming land and the costs
of settling it. That, as it has always been, is the function of the Jews of the Dias-
pora. And the. task of bringing the land into the eternal possession of the Jewish
people and making it fit for settlement remains the duty of the Jewish National
Fund. But it is now a duty which must be carted out in far greater breadth and
with far greater speed than hitherto.
