Statement of Dr. Isaac Werne Upon the Occasion of the Dedication of the East Broad Street Temple
The completion of Tifereth Israel's new buildnig merits the celebration of all Columhus Jewry; and, as one of the Liinniuniily, I voice my greeting and wishes of good-will to the Congregation.
The occabion has a two-fold signif¬ icance. To thu members of Tifereth Israd. as such, it reprcbcnts the success¬ ful uilniinatinn of their efforts to eatab- lisli a structure that will in physical appearance as uell as in name and mean¬ ing bis a "glory to Israel." To those of us who can look bt-yoiid the strictly con¬ gregational timiti. the erection of thiv licauliful edifice exemplifies the attach¬ ment of our people, particularly our \iiunger generation, lo the histitutions and ideals of this faith.
Just as the fire can not burn without Ihe fuel, hO the abstract can not exist ex- icpt us It is embodieit in material form. Jmlaism, a spirittial quantity though  it
be, continues only so long :is it is es prt"-scd in the concrete.
The S>nagogue was flic natural sue cchsor to tbc sacrificial service and throu'Jih thchc houses of meeting—which uert also houses «f learning and of prayer—the tirain of Judaism has coiv tinuid from antiquity to the modern ti.iy, without interruption.
The cmUiipiuncc of our historic past is the first of the Synagogue's duties— aild b.v its activity in d j ¦{ semi na ting Jew Ihh tradition and knowledge through our comnmiiities, Tifereth Israel will bring credit to its name and gootl to the com uulnity. We can look forward to this newl> huilt structure as another home for our idedls anil as another assurance that our future aspirations for Jewish aciomphshments in this connnunity will be realized.

Opening Address
HAST'.F (J T. A.) The history ot the X^ionibt mo\emrnt, aiming at the cstah- lishment of the Jewish National Home, which started at Raile. August 30, 18!)7, was revived in the opening address of Nahuin Sokolowj well-known Hebrew writer, one of the leaders of the Zionist mo\emcnt, aud Chairman of the World Zionist Executive.
h'rom the humble hegitining of a gathering of Jewish intellectuals and dreamers, who gave political exi)resbiou to the age-pld Jewish dream of the "re¬ turn to Zion," in accordance willi Biblical [)redictian';, Zionism, during t(iis period, gained international sanction through the issuance of the Balfour Declaration, the acceptance by Great Britain from the League of Nations of the Mand.ite for Palestine and the heginniuK of agricul¬ tural and urban colonisation which re¬ sulted in an increase in the Jewish popu¬ lation of Palestine bj- 100,000 since the close of the War.
In reviewing the history and depicting the present difficulties due to the economic crisis in Palestine, Mr. Sokolow urged an alUJewish unity for the accomplish¬ ment of the goal set in the so-called Basle program in 1897.
"A great section of our history looks upon us assembled here in this town which witnessed the beginning of our nmvement and ga\c life to a force that ha<; awakened the slumbering forces of our people. Modern Zionism bears the indelible impress of the Basle i>rogram," he stated. "After 2,000 years of silence the Jewish people who sulfered like none' other, spoke again 'to the world's public opinion -through the' medium of the Zion¬ ist nio\ement. It has not complained, as hefort, but has solennily proclaimed ifs right to Israel's land Dr. Theodore Her/I lifted the veil of tbe future and raised the torch of the Prophet,   Zionism

RABBI S. RIVLIN
A Good-Will Message From Rabbi Tarshish, Spiritual Leader of the Bryden Road Temple
To tlio Kditor of The Jewish Clironicle:—
On the occasion pf the formal dedication of tiic Tifereth Israel Synagogue, I talce the opportunity of extending my congratulations. As the Kabbi of a sister congregation in Columbus, 1 am happy that the efforts of the courageous few have been crowned with so magniticent u success,
Columbus Jewry is large enough and cosmopolitan enough to in¬ sure progress to every form of Judaism. Just as the Bryden Road Tem¬ ple has for more than 75 years symbolized the advance of Reformed Judaism, so the Broad Street Synagogue has come and will come to stand for the finest efforts of Conservative Judaism. All the Jewish congregations in Columbus can well work together for the advancement of our immortal faith.
It is, therefore, my privilege to extend the hand qf fellowship and felicitation through these columns to the new synagogue and to wish it increasing usefuhiess and glory in the coming ycart,.
(Signed) Rahbi Jacob Tarshish, Of Temple Israel, Columbus, Qhio.
