AMERICAN JEWISH PRESS WEEK
(MAY 17th — MAY 21st)
[ANNUAL CONVENTION, ATLANTA, GA. MAY 20-23]
World Jewry’s basic hope for a positive perpetuation
of the heritage of our people is dependent upon knowledg-
ability—upon the proper dissemination of news about
Jews everywhere and the presentation of such news to
the Jewish communities in all lands.
What we need is proper communication. Without it,
many communities that are without newspapers, and
communities which do not utilize the services offered
them by the Jewish Press, will live in a vacuum.
There is only one effective Jewish press in the world
today, outside of Israel, where the language is primarily
Hebrew, and that is the English-Jewish Press.
The English-Jewish newspaper is the guardian over
the public welfare of our people. It is the historian of
Jewry. It is the chronicle of our time and it may well be
considered the Third Volume to the Biblical Book of
Chronicles—the DIVREY HA-YAMIM. Our newspapers
are the sentinels that watch over our freedoms, the de
fenders of our basic American ideals and of our sacred
Jewish traditions.
Without this watch-dog over Jewry’s destinies, the
great movements which operate in behalf of the down
trodden, the support of Israel, would not be able effec
tively to reach out to the communities which supply the
funds for creative efforts and for redemption.
