To Our Young Judaeans It is with a great feeling of apprecia tion on behalf of Atlanta Jewry that I send this message of greetings to Young Judaea. There is nothing so vital in Jewish life today as a healthy and loyal Jewish youth. Witnessing tlie efforts of the Young Judaea or ganization to bring about such a youth, the Jewish people of Atlanta must feel a sense of pride and respect for such an organization and for its ideals. The ultimate purpose of Young Judaea was never so necessary as it is today. With Zionism presenting a dis couraged face to the masses of Jewish people all over the world and in our own locality, it is the duty of Yoaing Judaea to go forward, always striving to Firing Zion closer to all Jews, youth and old alike.—Rabbi T. Geffen. SCHEDULE OF EVENTS FOR YOUNG JUDAEA MONTH Sunday afternoon, March 1. Inaugu ral Radio Broadcast over Station WSB. Tuesday evening, March 3, B. A. C.

Young Judaeans: It is with expectant enthusiasm that I extend hearty greetings to your organiza tion in the sponsoring of this Young Ju daean month. Not one month of the year should be dedicated to Young Judaeans, but every month of the year should be consecrated to our Jewish youth. The burden of perpetuating Judaism rests upon our youth. Young Israel, make the year your own. In very truth, it is yours. The fate of Jewish life rests with you. You are the reserve army of Israel. When the front lines of Jewish leadership will have fallen at their post of duty, your lines must move forward to take their places. You must fill up the breach in the ranks. Young friends, I bid you to realize your imperative duty, to train yourselves for your present as well as your future work. Young Judaeans, become the torch- bearers of Israel’s culture. A friend, Rabbi Harry H. Epstein.

Theodor Her si Theodor Herl, the founder of political Zionism, was born on May 2, 1800, and died on July 3, 1 ‘>04. “His untimely death at the age of 44 was brought on by the heavy duties of leadership placed upon his shoulders. His intense devotion to the realization of Israel’s ancient hope has remained a great stimulus to all who are working for the restoration of Zion. The anniversary of his death is therefore uni versally observed by Jews, and in Vienna where he lies buried large numbers of Jews visit his grave on that day.” It was through the untiring efforts of Theodor Herzl that the first Zionist Congress was called in 1897 in Basle, Switzerland.
