Dear Mr. Rosenberg:
Congratulations on the vigorous manner in which you and your associates are pressing toward the goal of the New York Allied Jewish Campaign.
May I not assure you of my earnest desire to be of all possible service in this effort to which no Jew in self-respect can afford to remain indifferent?
For the first time in its history, American Jewry, acting as a single unit, is able to envisage the problems of the Jewish people as a whole. This union of forces spells not alone fortification for the financial resources so necessary to the relief activity in Europe and the restoration program in Palestine, but it is to be hoped, a significant step forward in the spiritual progress of American Israel.
The Allied Jewish campaign is the affirmation of the old axiom that the whole is greater than any of its parts, that no ideology can be foreign to the consideration of Jews, so long as it is a contributory factor to the well-being of Jewry as a whole. The allied campaign for Palestine rehabilitation and European relief represents the hope of all progressive Jews that a new era of parity and reciprocity, which have for too long been one-sided, is now in store for American Israel, of which world Jewry will be the beneficiary.
Every Jew who has the welfare of Jewry at his heart must, at this juncture, give his moral and financial support to the campaign.
Bernard S. Deutsch.
