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. Our Work for JNF MUST Go On!
