some new cause to adopt. It is
the same mission which the
prophets proclaimed and which
the Pharisees sought to trans-
late into the conduct of daily
life. It is the same mission as
of old, not because mankind has
stood still (it actually has made
some progress), not because
mankind has retrogressed (it
did retrogress considerably dur-
ing our lifetime), but because
the mission the prophets pro-
claimed is as basic as creation
itself. Creation must ever re-
main unfinished, so our job as
an active partner of Gad must
be forever unfinished yet for-
ever summoning our devotion.

which is ahead of us, and which
Judaism will be effective in
bringing about, we can be free
to resume the active missionary
work we carried on in the day
of the Pharisees. There are al-
ready some stirrings in this di-
rection. Ultimately, I believe,
our mission will continue to
take the form of our witnessing
by sheer loyalty to the faith
born of the prophetic vision.
The working out of a pure and
beneficient democracy in the
State of Israel, the emphasis on
social action in the Judaism of
the Diaspora, an imaginative and
effective Jewish education for
adults as well as chilldren wher
ever Jews live—these will 13€
the instruments for the survival
of Judaism in a world in which
anti-Semitism and other irra-
tional forms of hostility have
been reduced to a minimum.

rael are valid for all Israel
everywhere in the world:
Secularism, on the one
hand, in spite of its slogans
of Messianism, has in practice
no aim beyond self-preserva-
tion and survival.
Traditionalism, on the other
hand, is content with a rigid
guarantee that traditional
forms will be without any
reformation in the life of hu-
man society, which is the ini-
tial step in bringing about in
the contemporary world 'the
kingdom of God.'
Perhaps the future of the
people of Israel depends more
on the creation of this third
force than it does on any ex-
ternal factors.
In this process a beginning
must be made, however, mod-
est it may be, for the valid
revitalization of faith. All who
are prepared to participate
wholeheartedly in this begin-
ning will be truly blessed.
This prophetic impulse which
Buber refers to as the third
force is the infusion of a dy-
namic sanctity and spiritual-
ity into human society, and
this is the abiding and con-
tinuing mission of Judaism in
the contemporary world.

ence of American Rabbis.

Vast Upper Peninsula
Michigan's Upper Peninsula
is a far vaster area than most
people realize. Its 16,538 square
miles of land area, 30 percent
of the total state area, is equal
to the combined areas of Con-
necticut, Delaware, Massachu-
setts and Rhode Island.
Michigan's highest and low-
est points of elevation are only
a few miles apart. The highest
peak, rising 19,990 feet, is in
Baraga County, 14 miles west
of L'Anse. Nearby, the bottom
of Lake Superior is 1,020 feet
down, 418 feet lower than sea
level.

First Canadian Rabbi
Jacob Raphael Cohen, the first
Jewish spirtual leader in Canada,
held the pulpit of Shearith Israel
in Montreal from 1778 to 1782.
He later served as Hazan of
Shearith Israel Congregation in
New York City.

A special plaque honoring
the role of synagogues in the
development of Israel will be

ricultural, industrial, scientific
and spiritual progress of Is-
dael made possible with the
aid of the Israel Bond pro-
gram. It is known as the
"Year of Redemption" 'Award
to mark the redemption of the
first Israel Bonds, which start-
ed in. May, 1951.
