The Southern Israelite Page 35 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.
