Great Britain must never be permitted to imagine that the Jews will be satisfied with “crumbs,” Rabbi Louis I. Newman of Temple Rodeph Sholom said yesterday afternoon in an address before the West End Group of Hadassah at the Rutgers Club.
“We may rejoice that 50,000 newcomers are entering Zion each year,” he declared, “but these must be regarded as harbingers and forerunners of a yet greater immigration to follow, a genuine exodus out of the lands of bondage into the Promised Land.”
Rabbi Newman asserted Jewry is engaged in a race between Zionism and anti-Semitism and urged that the fullest advantage be taken of the opportunities which Zionism offers for “a stable, normal and happy new life.”
