Rabbi of Free Synagogue, ISetc York; President of the Jewish Institute of Religion The year is overshadowed, griev ously overshadowed, by the events of its closing days. Rare is the year in Jewish annals that includes no chron icle of things painful and embittering. Once again we looked for light and, behold, there is darkness! I would not utter my New Year’s message in the form of threnody, but tears are in our hearts—tears of deep, compassionate sorrow, tears of high, exultant pride! Howsoever blame is, after a time, to be apportioned, at the New Year’s season it is for us proud ly to recall that once again our people has proven equal to the martyr-task of its history. However terrible the guilt of others, guilt of omission or guilt of commission, our brothers have borne themselves blamelessly even to the end. So that we are denied only the feeling of contrition, for every other solace is left to us. One holy place we craved for wor ship, and, even there, in violation of every tradition of the centuries, we were denied. And the tragedy of it, the guardians of the city were asleep, awaking only to disarm the thrice- wronged defenders of their people’s life! We thank God for the heroism of our youth; we praise God for the nobleness of those to whom fell the immortal portion of Kiddush ha-Shem, in the highest. England will yet assure security, lest national honor become a bauble of dross. The Open Door and secur ity were promised and the promise has been doubly violated. And, indeed, reparation, however large and un grudging, will not be enough—not even the exaction of decent neighbor liness on the part of those against whom the deep damnation of the tak ing off of our brothers pleads trum- pet-tongued. England must at last obey the law of its own convent of peace and honor with the Jewish peo ple, including sternest warning to those whom we have immeasurably benefited, that plotting and uprising, if ever again attempted, will be met with swift and awful punishment. But we must do more. We must now* stand at the side of our pioneers as never before. For they are the advance guard of our loftiest hope. England and Europe and all the world must come to understand that the Jewish SEEK ORIGIN OF AMMUNITION USED IN PALESTINE OUTBREAK Efforts are being made by the mili tary in Palestine to trace the origin of ammunition used by the Arab at tackers in the recent outbreak, the Jerusalem correspondent of the Lon don ‘‘Daily Mail” reports. The ammu nition was made to fit British rifles, but does not bear a British mark. It is believed this ammunition was sup plied from an outside source, the cor respondent writes, in order to discred it the British by the suggestion that anyone killed by this ammunition was shot by the British soldiers. re-builders of Palestine are not i*, lated and unsupported adventurer^ but the ambassadors of their people humble in themselves and yet char)?, ed with all our hopes and dream* and strength—inviolable hostages i, the safekeeping of the great Confed erate Nation that must now strive to wipe out the stain of blood, which weakness rather than guilt ha* brought upon its escutcheon of honor But physical security is not enough and to this end physical reinforce ment alone will not suffice. We ow t RABBI STEPHEN S. WISE our heroic pioneers something more, and that something more is a new de votion to their and our cause. W’e, too, may be the guardians of our peo ple’s spiritual fortune. We, too, are exposed to grievous peril, the peril of disloyalty to the highest we know, of desertion of an infinitely precious her itage, of foreswearing in truth and life the historic task of Israel as wit ness to the divine outreaching and upreaching of man, the peril of bar tering loftiest ideals for meanest standards. A finer, nobler World Is rael will be at one and the same time the surest security and the richest fruition of our people’s life in our people’s land. So may the New Year be blessrf to Israel and mankind. Then sh»* our light break forth as the mornin? and our healing spring forth spee i?
