Yom Kippur Message
IT Dt. SAMUIL IILKIN, PRESIDENT OF YESHIVA UNIVERSITY,  IN  NEW YORK
Culminating the ten-day period of penitence after the celebration of the Jewish New Year, Yom Kippur reemphasizes one of Judaism's most enduring contributions to the ethics of civilization, the idea that man is a spiritual being. As we and our fellow Jews throughout the world spend a day of solemn prayer in the synagogue and take stock of our spiritual resources, we are reminded that material existence alone is meaningless unless it is backed by moral and ethical purpose.
Such a profound teaching has special meaning on the Day
.of Penitence when each of us must assess his spiritual values. It
also has special meaning for an age increasingly concerned with
materialism, an age  that has tended to regard technological
achievement as the sole yardstick for measuring progress.
For in a day's fasting and prayer, we put aside the normal rhythms of our lives and reflect on a meaning and purpose deeper than the. hurried demands of everyday existence. This shift in spiritual focus can serve us well in re-examining the place we assign to material values, as individuals and as a nation. What it will enable us to see in the pressures of days after Yom Kippur are those moments of spiritual significance that make our lives meaningful.
On Yom Kippur, we pray for a future in which we are sealed in the Book of Life for another year. We must dedicate the vision of this future to our youth in whom we see it developing. As we approach the year 5721, Yeshiva University looks to the challenge of the future with resolution and unbounded confidence.
In partnership with every enlightened member of the Jewish community, the University will continue to foster the light of To-tph cmd knowledge as a growing source of service which focuses on the spiritual force of the American Jewish community in its totality.
Through an agreement with the Bank of Finland, the Government of that Scandinavian country has authorized the sale of State of Israel Bonds in iU territory, it was announced by Dr. Joseph J. Schwartz, vice-president of the Israel Bond Organization. The decision of the Finnish Government to permit the launching of a campaign for Israel Bonds brings to twenty-nine the number of countries in North and South America and Western Europe in which the sale of Israel Bonds is carried on for the purpose of promoting the economic development of the State of Israel, Dr. Schwartz said.
Preparations are being made to organize a committee of leaders for the campaign in Finland which has a Jewish population of approximately 2,000, roost of whom make their home in Helsinki. In making the announcement of the extension of the Israel Bond drive to Finland, Dr. Schwartz said:
"We are happy to announce the favorable action which was taken by the Bank of Finland on the eve of the tenth anniversary of the
founding of the Israel Bond Organization. Within the paat nine and a half years, the Israel Bond campaign has spread its activities to almost every corner of the free world as an instrument of constructive cooperation in the building of the democracy of Israel.
"The growing acceptance of our efforts is reflected in the fact that more than $460,000,000 has been invested in the expansion of Israel's economy through the channel of Israel Bonds since the launching of the first Israel Bond issue in the United States in May, 1951.
"The progress of the Israel Bond drive both on these shores and overseas has brought the Jewish communities of the free world together in a concerted program of development which is playing a role of major importance in the future of Israel. Productive in-, vestment represents a key factor in promoting the growth of Israel as a Jewish homeland as well as a vigorous and creative democracy equipped to make its contribution to the peace and progress of the family of free nations."

"In spite," they continued, "of the difficulties, psychological and climatic, created oy a regime committed to antireligion, Judaism can be preserved," says the New Times: Touching on Germany, lauded the Adenauer Government for its sincerity to "treat Jews with justice, equity, and equality, and to make it possible for the returning Jews to feel at home in Germany."

Election Bits
Herbert B. Ehrmann, president of the American Jewish Committee, declared that "we must insure the protection of civil and religious rights and guard against the inroads of bigotry. This is especially true in the upcoming national election/' he said, "when the candidacy of a Catholic for the Presidency is likely to stimulate the 'lunatic fringe' of hate mongers to frenzied activity.
"Beyond guarding against specific violations of civil and religious rights, we must apply ourselves in our daily lives to the promotion of improved human relations among all groups. For only as we strive in our democracy to extend the spirit of understanding between all men, do we affirm our religious faith and our democratic creed."
Rabbi Joachim Prinz, president of the American Jewish Congress, said in a New Year message:
"We pray that in the heat of the election campaign our country maintains the unity of the American people that is the very foundation of our democracy, in the knowledge that those wno would judge a man by his race, by his religion, or by any other basis than his own act!} and his own qualities, do in fact subvert the democratic belief basic to our religious heritage of; the sanctity of
didates or parties on account of special interests."

"We pray that as the leader* of the great ttnd small nations of the world gather, they heed the plea of men and women and children in .every land for a new era characterized not by the threat of universal destruction but by the, promise of universal peace, a peeee enshrined with freedom."
Dr. Lewis Webster Jones, pred-dent of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, declared In his message that the moral and spiritual values of the High Holy Days could guide Americans in keeping religious prejudice out of the campaign.
"Our hope for the nation's welfare will be realized only if we keep faith with the one Goo, father of all, and remember His word to 'love thy neighbor as thyself." Dr. Jones said. r'In keeping the faith, we will adhere to the Judaeo-Chrit-tian heritage underlying our way of life: we will not permit the religiously prejudiced to distort the issues or to defile the election process with bigoted appeals to hate, or to deny any candidate his right to a fair campaign �"
