here when we must give our heed to
the rural communities and the small
towns. Wider opportunities and the
desire to partake in all the various

vital adjustments—to prove that it

family on the farm and the handful
of Jewish families in the village as
well as for the Ghetto masses. If
.Judaism cannot meet this test, its
sky-scraping Temples in Cosmopolis
will not save it.
