.The only wayof really helping the Jew in Eastern countries is to give him access to newfields of activity, for which he is struggling all over the world.This is the graveproblem which the O.R.T.society is successfully tackling.It is to you English fellow-Jews that we now appeal to help us in this greatenterprise which splendid men have set on foot.The last few years, nay, thelast few days, have brought us a disappointment which must have touched youin particular nearly.Do not gird at fate, but rather look on these events as areason for remaining true to the cause of the Jewish commonwealth.I amconvinced that in doing that we shall also indirectly be promoting thosegeneral human ends which we must always recognize as the highest.Remember that difficulties and obstacles are a valuable source of health andstrength to any society.We should not have survived for thousands of yearsas a community if our bed had been of roses; of that I am quite sure.But we have a still fairer consolation.Our friends are not exactly numerous,but among them are men of noble spirit and strong sense of justice, who havedevoted their lives to uplifting human society and liberating the individual fromdegrading oppression.We are happy and fortunate to have such men from the Gentile world amongus to-night; their presence lends an added solemnity to this memorableevening.It gives me great pleasure to see before me Bernard Shaw and H.G.Wells, to whose view of life I am particularly attracted.You, Mr.Shaw, have succeeded in winning the affection and joyousadmiration of the world while pursuing a path that has led many others to amartyr's crown.You have not merely preached moral sermons to yourfellows; you have actually mocked at things which many of them held sacred.You have done what only the born artist can do.From your magic box youhave produced innumerable little figures which, while resembling humanbeings, are compact not of flesh and blood, but of brains, wit, and charm.And yet in a way they are more human than we are ourselves, and one almostforgets that they are creations not of Nature, but of Bernard Shaw.You makethese charming little figures dance in a miniature world in front of which theGraces stand sentinel and permit no bitterness to enter.He who has lookedinto this little world sees our actual world in a new light; its puppets insinuatethemselves into real people, making them suddenly look quite different.Bythus holding the mirror up to us all you have had a liberating effect on us suchas hardly any other of our contemporaries has done and have relieved life ofsomething of its earth-bound heaviness.For this we are all devoutly grateful toyou, and also to fate, which along with grievous plagues has also given us thephysician and liberator of our souls.I personally am also grateful to you forthe unforgettable words which you have addressed to my mythical namesakewho makes life so difficult for me, although he is really, for all his clumsy,formidable size, quite a harmless fellow.To you all I say that the existence and destiny of our people depend less onexternal factors than on ourselves remaining faithful to the moral traditionswhich have enabled us to survive for thousands of years despite the heavystorms that have broken over our heads.In the service of life sacrificebecomes grace.Working PalestineAmong Zionist organizations "Working Palestine" is the one whose work is ofmost direct benefit to the most valuable class of people living there--namely,those who are transforming deserts into flourishing settlements by the labourof their hands.These workers are a selection, made on a voluntary basis,from the whole Jewish nation, an élite composed of strong, confident, andunselfish people.They are not ignorant labourers who sell the labour of theirhands to the highest bidder, but educated, intellectually vigorous, free men,from whose peaceful struggle with a neglected soil the whole Jewish nationare the gainers, directly and indirectly.By lightening their heavy lot as far aswe can we shall be saving the most valuable sort of human life; for the firstsettlers' struggle on ground not yet made habitable is a difficult and dangerousbusiness involving a heavy personal sacrifice.How true this is, only they canjudge who have seen it with their own eyes.Anyone who helps to improve theequipment of these men is helping on the good work at a crucial point.It is, moreover, this working class alone that has it in its power to establishhealthy relations with the Arabs, which is the most important political task ofZionism.Administrations come and go; but it is human relations that finallyturn the scale in the lives of nations.Therefore to support "Working Palestine"is at the same time to promote a humane and worthy policy in Palestine, andto oppose an effective resistance to those undercurrents of narrow nationalismfrom which the whole political world, and in a less degree the small politicalworld of Palestine affairs, is suffering.Jewish RecoveryI gladly accede to your paper's request that I should address an appeal to theJews of Hungary on behalf of Keren Hajessod.The greatest enemies of the national consciousness and honour of the Jewsare fatty degeneration--by which I mean the unconscionableness which comesfrom wealth and ease--and a kind of inner dependence on the surroundingGentile world which comes from the loosening of the fabric of Jewish society.The best in man can flourish only when he loses himself in a community.Hence the moral danger of the Jew who has lost touch with his own peopleand is regarded as a foreigner by the people of his adoption.Only too often acontemptible and joyless egoism has resulted from such circumstances.Theweight of outward oppression on the Jewish people is particularly heavy at themoment.But this very bitterness has done us good.A revival of Jewishnational life, such as the last generation could never have dreamed of, hasbegun [ Pobierz caÅ‚ość w formacie PDF ]
