REMEMBER The Jewish Orphanage IN YOUR WILL
Jews, they said, must be mixed in the melting pot which, in that time, was highly esteemed as a utensil in which all Americans would be made alike; so that you could never tell a Jugo-Slavian from a Mayflower descendant or a Jew from a high church Episcopalian. All Americans would, indeed, be as much alike as a row of Fords just off the assembly line.
Our most influential Jews continued to believe in a purely religious concept ot Israel even though there was considerable evidence to the contrary. They couldn't get into the best non-Jewish country club and they certainly knew that they weren't being kept out because they believed in one God.
They even had a country club of their own that had nothing in the least to do with the theological implications of "Sh'ma Yisroel;" it was perforce, founded on the racial differences which had set Jews apart from the non-Jewish country club. Besides, it was apparent that it was not religion that was bringing Jews of all kinds together in a delectable suburb called Avondale.
All these evidences gave an acute pain to a young man who in the Hebrew Union College had learned that to be Jewish was only a religious identity.
No, I said, we seem not for the melting pot. We are considered different (even when we have put on 100 per cent, of the coloration of our environment) and perhaps we are
Preparations for B.Bo Picnic Ready
Well folks, it won't be long now, and we're telling you, without a bit of exaggeration that you will really have the time of your life. Certainly we are talking about the annual E'nai B'rith picnic that is being held on Sunday, July 25th at Bowen Island.
In addition to the regular sports program . . . and by the way, the prizes this year will be well worth winning . , . other features will include a bingo game and dancing in the huge pavilion. Barney Potts, one of Vancouver's leading dance orchestras, has been engaged and we are telling you now that they really can swing it.
As usual FREE ice cream and novelties will be given to the children and FREE milk and sugar will also be provided.
Boats will leave the Union Dock at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

different, and what of it? What ignominy is there in being different? If my differences have any merit why should I desire to dissolve them in a melting pot? Perhaps we should try to be ourselves.
A Jew knows how to find comfort for all his pain. Since we are different and by discriminations are doomed to stay different, let us do our best with the things that make us different. To this wisdom I came when there was already one gray hair in my head (though, in fact, few enough are my grey hairs, even now).
I regard Palestine as the best place in which to cutivate the better qualities of our differences; our social idealism, our Messianic aspirations, our status as people of peace who without the power of swords have managed to conquer all the deaths.
I should like to see the Jews in Palestine offer to the world the dazzling exemplar of a just social order in which every man has enough and no one is swollen with more than he heeds; thus will Jews fulfill themselves as the heirs of prophets. Were I a Zionist I should be one of the Labor Zionists, who seem to understand that it makes no sense at all for Jews to return to Palestine to establish another capjtalist society.
I think of Palestine as an enterprise that gives Jews something to live for; since I have observed that Palestine alone commands the zeal of large numbers of Jews. The perpetual light in the synagogues seems to fall to a feeble flicker; 'the stimulation which Hitler provides for Jewish life is not to be depended upon to last forever or even a long time. When I look at the glowing
I realize that Palestine is a life-giving element and I think of the hot fervor of camp meetings among the faces of Zionists in their assemblies Christians. Palestine has become the Jewish equivalent of revivals.
Yet I am no nationalist Jew because I don't like the arrogance to which nationalistic feeling generally leads. I can even see the case of the Arabs, though I don't like their manners. If I came home after an absence of a thousand years I could not quarrel with the man who in the meantime had inhabited my acres. I might say to him: "Oh, sir, I come back bringing civilization . . . electric refrigerators, telephones, radios and antiseptics. Your barbarian-like life is going to be improved. After this I shall govern these acres. It is all for your good, since you are a backward man."
But I should not be surprised if he drew the bead of a rifle on me; the man certainly has some right on his side. I must make terms with him. I have kept this lovely dream of my ancestral home a thousand years, but as an old, old dreamer I know that no dream ever comes to a full reality. I must make terms . with this man in order to save a portion of my dream.
So (if it ever comes to that) I, were I a Zionist, should consent to a division of Palestine with the old inhabitants; a portion for Jews and a portion for Arabs. It would hurt he to have to give up the fullness of my dream, but I would have wisdom enough to know that to try to save everything would be to lose everything.
If the purpose of Jev,'s in Palestine is to be their unique selves and to build a lovelier society, they should know that they can neither be themselves nor build anything worthwhile under the precarious protection of guns guarding them against unreconciled Arabs.
I guess in the end it will come to a division of Palestine, for only arrogance would say: "We must have all of it." Jews are not an arrogant people, since they are old enough to have acquired wisdom. They will take their portion of Palestine and in safety build a lovelier society. Of course, fewer will be the Jews

to go and settle in a smaller Palestine, but they will be happier than many Jews in a larger Palestine, menaced by Arab ambuscades. The old dream can be saved only by the surrender of a portion. The Jewish portion will be homeland for fewer Jews, but dreamland for a multitude  of  the  Jews  of the world; dreamland giving Jews everywhere a noble dream by which to live and survive.
Who was it that said a Zionist is one who is willing to spend all kinds of money to send Jews to Palestine? Well, that's ail right. It is enough that Palestine is an inspiration to keep Jews alive, to give them Hallelujah ardors.
