JEWISH ALLIANCE
My tf-cmd&it diope .,.
At the outset I wish to thank
the Jewish Educational Alliance
for having provided me with this
means of expressing to the Savan¬
nah Jewish community my heart¬
felt greetings and best wishes
for the coming year.
From the very first moment I
arrived in Savannah, some five
and a half years ago, I recognized
the great communal service of,
and expressed an appreciation for,
the grand institution of our Al¬
liance. Since that time, through
the able leadership and guidance
of Paul Kulick and his fine as¬
sistants, the organization has truly
come to serve our community from
the cradle to old age, in a varied
and expanded program that has
justified our pride in the JEA.
In speaking for the Congrega¬
tion B. B. Jacob I must express
my admiration and gratitude for
the cooperation we have thus fat
been able to maintain between
our two organizations, which I
hope will serve as an incentive
in more areas than hithertofore.
Constructively speaking, this is as
it should be, for one complements
the other especially in terms c"
service and programming where
our youth is concerned.
It is my fondest hope that th ; s
fine relationship will continue for
the greater benefits of our Sa¬
vannah Jewish community. With
these I greet you on this festive
and sacred season and wish you
all a year replete with Divine
Blessings. L’Shannah Tovu Ti
koseivu.

I extend cot dial best wishes to my fellow citizens >f
Jewish faith on their New Year’s Day.
The celebration of this anniversary again comes at a
time when the condition of the world is far short of the
just expectations of men. It is my confident hope, however,
that our efforts throughout the coming year will advance
mankind toward that peace for which our country has so
long striven, a peace founded on mutual good will and wider
standing and cemented with the common endeavors of all
peoples.
HARRY S. TRUMAN, President

A Jiappup And
Ghallenxfivuj, Ijea/i ..
At the approach of the New
Year, I am happy to avail myself
of this opportunity to extend
greetings to the Jewish community
of our city. After the tragic war
years it is good to think that
conditions for our widely scattered
brethren are gradually improving,
and that we may look forward
to the coming year as one of ac¬
celerated progress in the allevia¬
tion of distress, as well as enabling
many of our harassed brethren
to stand on their own feet again.
Such a prospect is indeed one to
make this both a happy and chal¬
lenging year.
Then, there is a personal word
that I should like to add. At the
moment I am rounding out my
first year in Savannah. It has
been a very full and eventual
year. Added to the pleasure of
ministering to an historic Con¬
gregation has been the satisfac¬
tion of finding here a well or¬
ganized and cohesive Jewish com¬
munity. I would express the hope
that the spirit of unity in our
community may continue to grow,
and that the New Year may be
for all of us a year of well-being
and achievement.

As Rabbi of Congregation
Agudath Achim, I extend to the
entire Jewish Community of Sa¬
vannah our best wishes for a
Healthy and Happy New Year,
“LESHANAH TOVAH TIKA
TEVU.” It is our fervent hope that
the New Year of 5710 will bring
its Blessings of Peace and Un¬
derstanding to all mankind.
If we interpret Rosh Hashannah
correctly we will realize that we
are not merely upon the threshold
of another year but upon that of
a new year. Beacuse it is a New
Year, we should aspire to new¬
ness in our lives so that we, as
individuals, can bring into action
our powers for usefulness unto
as well as unto ourselves.
Our interest and devotion to Jew¬
ish life and values must con¬
stantly be kept at a high pitch
so that not a single one of us
shall falter or fall by the way
side.
To be a Jew today is indeed
a privilege not only because of our
many contributions to American
Democracy but also because of the
realization of our dreams in the
establishment of the youngest of
all Democracies—the State of
Israel.
