RABBI HERBERT S. GOLDSTEIN, West Side Branch, Institutional Synagogue, 148 West Eighty-fifth street: “The world is surely in need of the Passover message. Passover means a revolt against dictatorship. Dictatorship ultimately leads to oppression. Democracy is in great danger everywhere, even in our own United States. The heads of the local and national government are all seeking more power. There can be only one dictator and that is God. God is and may be the dictator, because He is omniscient.

“We are trusting too much in ourselves. Man is endeavoring to assume the role of Creator, rather than creature. He looks upon himself as the self-starter, leaving God in the nebulous background.”
