5716 A TURNING POINT IN MANY LANDS
It is obvious from all that has happened in recent months
to indicate that the Jews of the world have come to a turning
point of momentous significance.
With the New Year 5716 now dawning, this is an especial
ly good moment to assess the past and to seek an evaluation
of the future.
With respect, first to the people of Israel, the facts are
these: They have come a long, hard way since 1948 in build
ing their freedoms and in safeguarding their independence—
and they have done this with magnificent help from the Jews
of America — but Israel’s people are today at a turning
point.
There are signs that some greater peace can be achieved
with Israel’s neighbors than has obtained over the past sev
en years. The chances are that it will not be peace as we
know it, that it will still be uneasy, but that the incursions
and explosions of the past may be diminished. If this hap
pens, Israel’s people will be in a greater position than ever
before to move even more swiftly toward their goal of eco
nomic independence — because so much more of their ener
gies will be released for this great objective. Even more
than in the past, our help will be the indispensable factor.
Our highest hope in this regard is that the Jews of this com
munity will intensify their support of our community cam
paign so that greater funds than ever before can be made
available to the United Jewish Appeal for the great programs
of Israel’s continuing settlement and development.
Little more than one year ago, in August, 1954, we awoke
to the news that Jews had been murdered and terrorized in
Morocco. Before too much time had passed, 70,000 Jews had
registered for emigration to Israel. For its part, Israel open
ed its gates and in twelve months took in 30,000 men. women
and children from Tunisia and Morocco. After one year, the
situation has not eased. Tensions have deepened, and fears
have multiplied. Israel’s gates are still open — and will re
main open — to receive all who want to come. In this re
spect, our hope for the New Year is that you will continue to
make it possible for the United Jewish Appeal to go on
with the financing of the great program of rescue from this
fear-ridden part of the world.
But this is more than a plea for help. It is also a plea for
vigilance. The year 5716 may well be a turning point for the
Jews of tension-ridden North Africa. Many have left. Many
more want to leave. If the present rate of exodus continues,
we shall see the dwindling of another once important center
of Jewish population. But this has its compensation in the
fact that in taking in all who flee suffering and oppression,
Israel is growing by leaps and bounds as a major center of
Jewish population activity and achievement.
There is one more turning point that is in evidence. Giving
by the average contributor has been slightly higher than in
previous years, and this trend, while heartening, must be
strengthened. With so many enormous responsibilities to be
met in the year 5716, with so many lives at stake, with the
future of Israel’s freedom still in the balance, the contributor
in his community in 5716 must give more and do more as a
matter of elementary humanity and personal responsibility.
We hope that all of you will resolve to do this, not only in 5716
but for as long as the needs are urgent and great. Let us at
this dawning of the New Year rededicate ourselves to the
proposition that all who need us shall not want.
