1 Rosh Hashonoh Greeting
To The Jewish Youth
lly DR. ISRAEL GOLDSTEIN
President of Young Jndnen
Youth «»f American Israel,
T he Jewish calendar year now end-
will £o down as one of the saddest
wi ,hin the memory of the present gen-
n of the Jewish youth.
American Israel has lost a great
l.adcr in the death of Louis Marshall
]ifo has been an inspiration to
V(lUnB lews everywhere, and his death
j serve as a challenge to the Jew-
,, u th. to dedicate its zeal to the
building up a Jewish life shall
be worthy of the Louis Marshall tra-
,!;{ion.
The year now ending, has brought
r people a great tragedy in Pal-
,.,tjne. It seems to be the destiny of
1 that it should pay a heavy price
f„r the privilege of dwelling in the
Holy Land. Perhaps it is thus ordain-
n order that the faith of the Jew
• Palestine might be tried and tested
the full. A new chapter of Jewish
" artyrdom has been written. Pales
tine will become dearer to the Jewish
people than it has ever been before,
because again Israel has paid dearly
for st.
There is no time for lamentations.
TWO HISTORIC GATHERINGS
(Continued from Page 33)
them are primarily significant as a
demonstration of the Pan-Jewish as
sent to the work in Palestine, and only
a part of those names means also ac-
tive collaboration. More exactly ex
pressed: All avowed their acceptance
f a common Jewish task, all gave
their adhesion to Palestine.
One reflects Einstein, Blum, War-
'urg. Sir Herbert Samuel, Louis Mar
shall. Rabbi Uziel, Chaim Weizmann,
ischkin, Nahum Sokolov, D’Avig-
dnr-Goldsmid—the names w'hirl about
one's head, remembered shreds of
their speeches become intertwined, one
stirred in one’s innermost being and
the anxious question asserts itself:
What next?
"ill the new call pierce to the in-
t depths of Jewry? Will that
bright ray of light fused from the
of the spectrum shine in the
■•sh heart as Weizmann desired to-
n speech? Will henceforth the
rk in Palestine proceed with in-
n-av.-d speed? . . . Questions which
rannnt U* answered yet.
T" all those whose lives are filled
h Zion and the new Palestine a new
is given. But only if they know
h‘ w to use it.
Perhaps the result will be greater
I can only say distance is need-
'd, distance—so that one can form a
estimate of what one has been
! g through here at Zurich yester-
•* a y and today.
We must avenge the blood of our mar
tyred brothers and sisters not by vin
dictiveness or by retaliation, but by
rededicating our zeal to the aim of es
tablishing in Palestine, a Jewish home
land which shall enable the Jew to
live at his highest level, a life which
shall bring blessing not only to him
self but to his Arab and Christian
neighbors. This ideal is at the heart
of Young Judaea’s program.
One outstanding consolation in the
midst of all this distress, has been the
noble encouragement which has come
from our American Government, and
from the public opinion of our fellow
American citizens. President Hoover’s
remarkable message, expressing the
hope that ‘‘out of these tragic events
will come greater security and great
safeguards for the future under which
the steady rehabilitation of Palestine
as a true homeland will be even more
assured,” has been heard around the
world. We of American Israel should
be prouder and more grateful than
ever before, that wo are Americans be
longing to a nation and a Government
which understands the worth of the
Jew and espouses his cause.
SCREEN, BENCHES AND STOOLS
WILL NOT BE PERMITTED AT
HIGH HOLIDAY SERVICES
Jews Agree to Limitations, Pending
Settlement of Wall Status
Jerusalem (J. T. A.)—In view of
the approaching High Holidays, the
Jerusalem authorities are making a
careful inventory of appurtenances
at the Wailing Wall strictly required
for religious services, with the inten
tion of not allowing any other ob
jects, such as a screen separating
men and women worshippers, mat
ting, benches or stools. The “Kiyor”,
ritual wash stand, a small Aaron
Kodesh, Ark containing the Holy
Scrolls, and a small table for read
ing the Torah will be permitted.
It is understood Jewish leaders
have agreed to the limitations, pend
ing the settlement of the question as
to what constitutes the status quo,
making only the condition that all
traffic be stopped during the services.

fiore Endowment Synagogue, died of
