"Please, God, let him be aboard"
ALONGSIDE THE DOCK at Haifa a sliip is
tying up, its rails lined with immigrants.
From behind the gates on shore anxious eyes
search for the faces of loved ones. Pounding
hearts beseech:
"Please, (iod, let him he aboard."
A clatter of chains and the gangplank
comes down—weary men, worn women, be
wildered children stream onto the blessed
soil of Israel.
The waiting crowd surges forward. There
is the heart-rending cry of recognition, the
frantic embrace. For some, this is the longed-
for moment of reunion—in the bright light
of freedom.
For some!
Others in the crowd watch silently, but
with trembling lips. Finally they turn and
trudge away. Hope is fainter now, but alive.
Perhaps the next boat...
Yes, the next boat, provided — provided
you help put the passengers aboard.
In four years your support of the United
Jewish Appeal has spelled rescue and home
coming for 700,()()() homeless Jews brought
to a new life from I)P camps, Iron Curtain
countries, ghastly ghettos in Arab lands.
Ibis year, 120,000 mast he saved.
But the homecoming is not all. We must
follow it by a great home making. Hands
must be made useful, lives worth living.
Give through your local campaign, for
those who wait at the gates—and those who
wait for deliverance. Give your best—more
than ever before.
To turn the great homecoming into the great home making
