The establishment of Israel
was the most heartening event
in the past two thousand years
of Jewish history. Even Jews
who hitherto displayed little in-
terest in the welfare of their
people were swept by the exhil-
arating quality of this dramatic
achievement. The feeling of
confidence and pride of Jews
everywhere was immeasurably
lifted.
However, students of Jewlish
life agree that Jews in countries
outside of Israel cannot afford
to - rest upon the laurels of Israel.
Although we will continue to
render aid to the state of Israel,
the overwhelming portion of the
Jews in the United States will
remain here. American Jewry
has much to do to set its own
house in order.
The • ignorance of many
American . Jews of their culture
and the failure of many Jews
to participate in Jewish cultural
and communal activities must be
replaced by a positive process
of education and well-rounded
participation. An educated and
self-conscious American Jewry
will prove a powerful support to
the Jews in Israel and through-
out the world.
