Twelve THE ELCHANITE ddress of Dr. Bernard Reve All Corlzcrrlonc Laying Exerciser To the g1'eat assembly of faithful sons and daughters of Israel, who on this day, sac1'ed to God and significant to the entire House of Israel, have assembled from near and far to express their unfailing allegiance and devotion to God, and to rejoice in the fulfillment of the hope and vision of a shrine for the Shekina, of a sanctuary on this continent, dedicated to the glory of God, and the spiritual enrichment of our country, to the worthy representatives of the national and local organizations, com- munities and religious congregationsg to the eminent scholars, master builders of American cultural life, presidents, oHicers, and members of faculties of our great uni- versities, the nurseries and the lighthouses of American civilization, who grace and en- hance our assembly with their presence and sympathy, I bring the greetings and the blessings of the House of God,-the Yeshiva. This day marks the dawn of a brighter glory of the Torah on this continent and sounds a note which finds an echo in the heart of every blew who loves God and is loyal to the Torah. This memorable day, this rising sanctu- ary, this representative assembly of tens of thousands who have come distances to pay homage to the Torah, mark the resolved expression by American Is1'ael of its inner urge to create a sanctuary in its heart and in the hearts of their children, to perpet- uate Israel's spirituality and steadfastness to God and his Torah, its aspiration to a true and creative Jewish life, which rises from the sustaining strength of the Torah and its historic and abiding home, the Ye- shiva. The Torah is Gods pillar of light pointing the way to truth and righteous- ness. It constitutes Israel's supreme con- tribution to the spiritual and mo1'al unfold- ing of humanity, its influence is funda- mental in the expression of the true Jewish spirit and genius, wherever and Whenever it reveals itself. With us in this solemn hour, is the spirit of Israel's countless mar- tyrs of all ages, pure and sublime souls who have given their lives to sanctify the name of God and that Israel and his Torah may live, the spirit of the unnumbered sages and scholars of the Torah, men of heroic sta- ture and steadfastness, selfless champions of their people, the spirit of the sage in Israel, Rabbi Isaac Elchanan, whose ideals will forever be a living reality in the Yeshivag they are yvith us in this solemn hour, for it is in their spirit that we are striving. Their abiding faith in Israells everlasting spirit- uality, as a kingdom of priests whose sanc- tuary is the Universe, and as a holy nation, in the unique destiny of Israel, as a servant of God and mankind, is the foundation stone of the sanctuary that we are rearing for God and his Torah, which is dedicated to the perpetuation of the ideals, aspirations, and hopes for which they lived and died. This sanctuary is consecrated to the
