during the past year to meet the
needs of destitute Jews in many
countries. “In the three postwar
years, ORT has trained 81,816 stu
dents in 23 countries, with more
than half of these trained in the
DP camps of Germany, Austria
and Italy,” Mr. Backer stated. “We
remain convinced that the pass
port to freedom for our people is
the acquisition of skilled trades,”
he added.
Frank L. Weil, president of the
National Jewish Welfare Board,
said in his Rosh Hashanah mes
sage that the new Jewish year
finds Jewish community centers
and YM-YWHA’s flourishing as
never before. "Responding to the
needs and requirements of our
time, our centers and Y’s continue
a youthful and vigorous force in
the Jewish community, through
the Jewish center movement which
is approaching its centennial," he
stated. “The Jewish centers thru-
out the country in the year ahead
will make an even greater contri
bution toward the elevation of
American Jewish life.”
Declaring that 5709 has been a
“year of fulfillment for world
Jewry,” Frank Goldman, president
of the of the American Council for
Judaism, declared “unyielding re
sistance to the modern idolatry of
racial and national self-worship.”
He pledged the Council’s efforts
to “help Judaism in America
realize the message of the Proph
ets, and enable Americans of
Jewish faith to follow their des
tiny as an integral and insepar
able part of the American people.”
Judge Morris Rothenberg, act
ing national chairman of the
United Palestine Appeal and pres
ident of the Jewish National Fund
of America, declared that the
“new year 5710 finds American
Jewry holding the key solution to
the life-and-death crisis which is
gripping Israel. In a message to
1,500 J. N. F. councils throughout
the U. S., Judge Rothenberg de
clared: “Israel needs our help.
But even so, we need the spiritual
enrichment that comes to us from
our help to Israel. We still need
the bond of the Jewish National
Funds that ties our friends, our
families and our children, our
festivals and our mournings, to the
soil and the trees of Israel.”
Rosh Hashanah messages were
also issued by Leon Gellman,
president of the Mizrachi Organi
zation of America; Justice Meier
Steinbrink, chairman of the Anti-
Defamation League; Samue. A.
Telsey, president of HI AS; Mrs.
Joseph M. Welt, president of the
National Council of Jewish Wo
men; Dr. Nelson Glueck, president
of the Hebrew Union College-
Jewish Institute of Religion; Isaac
Hamlin, secretary of the National
Committee for Labor Israel; Will
iam B. Herlands, president of the
Union of Orthodox Jewish Con
gregations of America, and others.
