Restoring a Jewish homeland in Palestine is today the greatest single factor in Jewish life, Max J. Schneider said last night in a radio address over Station WBNX. The program was arranged by Sidney H. Reiss under the auspices of the Young People’s League of the United Synagogue of America.
Telling the story of “the brief romance that we call Zionism,” he said that “the youth of our people dare not deny itself the privilege of participating in this most idealistic and romantic of modern movements.”
He went on to say that the problem of survival was agitating the Jewish mind today. Assimilation, he pointed out, never succeeded, as many Jews have discovered in the last two years. Today the assimilationist is completely confounded, Schneider asserted.
