of an opportunity. During the long,
dark ages, of oppression, the Jews
have hitched their wagon to star.
Tottering and groaning beneath the
blows of enemies, they have not for
one instant let their eyes waver from
the ideal which inspired them to
bear their burden. To the Jews, all
roads have led to Zion. Whether
they were driven north, south, east,
or west, they firmly kept their hopes
and their thoughts on the ancient
ideal, "Leshanah haboa beyerusho-
lynn, benai chorim' Next year in
Jerusalem, sons of Freedom" When
the British commander General, Sir
Edmund Allenby, captured the
Holy City from the evil Turkish
rule, and the British government
proclaimed it's intention of establish
ing a Jewish autonomy, the Jews
suddenly saw that the hopes, the
ambitions, the sufferings of the last
two thousand years have not been
in vain. With realization so near,
the Jews proudly say to the world,
"Many centuries ago, in the peace
and prosperity Of our own land, we
gave to the world the dominant
force of all civilizations religion.
Give us a chance in that same
peaceful land, and we will show
that we, too, have not been at
standstill, that the bitter expert
ences of the last twenty centuries
have not been in vain. Just as we
did our share in laying the corner
stone, so will we do our share in
unfolding and upbui1ding the struc-
ture of civilization.
