Exodus; Chapter 3, Verses 7 and 8
“And the Lord said: ‘I have surely seen the affliction of My people
that are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their task
masters; for I know their pains: and I am come down to deliver them
up out of that land unto a good land... unto a land flowing with milk
and honey...’”
* t
So it is that the children of Israel commemorate their redemption
from Egyptain bondage every year at this time by the Passover Festival
Today, at the Passover, hope once more shines bright amidst the bondage
of the suffering Jews of the Old World as it did for their ancestors 3400
years ago. This is the Year of Decision for these troubled people who
seek to rebuild shattered lives in Palestine, Europe, America and
other lands. j*
They dare not hope for a land flowing with milk and honey. It is,
rather, for the basic rights that we Americans, in the preamble to the
Constitution of the United States, hold to be inalienable—“Life, Liberty,
and the Pursuit of Happiness.” It is for a chance to live unmolested to
work toward their own destiny. It is for the right to work toward new
lives, in freedom and dignity.
You, and you, and you—all Americans, of every race and religion—
here is an opportunity to help the innocent who hold dear the ideals you
cherish. By your generous support of the United Jewish Appeal
campaign for $250,000,000 in 1948, you may help shape the future for
hundreds of thousands of homeless of the faith of Israel...a future
which can profoundly influence the destiny of the World as did the
Exodus from Egypt.
In the spirit of a people who know the price of freedom, help make
“freedom ring” for the oppressed by sending in your contribution today.
