RABBI ISRAEL GOLDSTEIN, Congregation B’nai Jeshurun, Eighty-eighth street, West of Broadway: “The fact that in every part of the world Judaism has been able to survive in the face of overwhelming majorities and often in the face of hostility and persecution, is a tribute to its remarkable vitality. Adaptation to changes of envirohment is a test of vitality of religious culture even as it is the test of physical hardihood. The Jew has met both tests successfully, at least thus far.”
