Yes! lVha.t is your purpose, your aim, your guide in your current activities?', Is the Yeshiva to be larger than X. Y. Il. or richer than Columbia? Is it to be a Jewish medical school or is it to be an institution for higher mathe- matics? To what extent shall Orthodoxy be adapted, comprised with and surrendered? These considerations are the music to which the mad cycle of dinners, campaigns and dinners is danced. We, the Editors, speaking for ourselves and certain that we voice the sentiments of our fellow students, ask our Board of Directors: Are you forgetting the teachings and the spirit of Rabbi Isaac Elcha- nan? Dead these fifty years, his spirit. has continued strong enough these many years to guide us. Can it not lead us in our further growth as it The Yeshiva. is undergoing which our Board of Directors is has in our beginnings?'5 We dedicate this Elchanite to the memory of Rabbi Isaac Elchanan and to the Board of Directors with the hope that this will make the bond between them more secure in the trying years ahead. The name of Rabbi Isaac Elchanan is no longer part of the populafr name of the school but his spirit must forever be the heart of itf' 4 may ga:5as1ig.,:.::- - ' 3521: 22121: 3. lf- VHISQTHI-33521122 -114212-?eEff:'i2?E2 '1.ff2!s-- :f:- -if ' -S-f -a.,...:zf:1:e1-: me zest- fair?

The Future of American Urthedex Bernard Uuruff As OUR COUNTRY increased both in size and in population, so also did the American Jewish community grow until today it has assumed the most important place in the Jewish world. Inevitably, a.s this community grew and expanded in various directions and various modes of religious thought, it approached a crisis out of which a. religious or nonreligious path for the American Jew to follow would be determined. The war, with its ruthless extermination of European Jewry, has hastened this crisis until we may seo it before our very eyes. Orthodoxy is woefully unprepared to wage battle for the ascendancy of American Jewish thought. It may well be defeated. Perhaps the situation may be more clearly stated by an analogy. A child is born to a poverty stricken' mother. He is taken away at birth and- placed in a rich home, with money a.nd luxury at his disposal. But his mother still exerts a tremendous influence upon the youngster. She con- tinually sends messages guiding his actions and his mind. She visits him occasionally and explains to him the right paths a.nd ideas to follow. She teaches him love and respect. lt is through her that the child grows sp-iritf ually and morally. Suddenly, his mother is killed. He is left alone to fare for himself. He knows how to use his wealth very well. But his ideas, his mind and actions have all been under the ideals of his mother. Is he able bo follow and stumble in the paths she showed him? Or, as the years go by, will his remembrance and belief in his mother become but a fond memory and will he sway to whatever direction he chooses. If this youngster will begin to think and plan, begin to affirm his belief and his ideals, he may yet save himself and follow in his mother's footsteps. Orthodox American Jewry is that child! Born of European Jewry which sent its children over as immigrants, he soon found America a land of plenty. As time went on and wave after wave of immigrants reached these shores, the sand of American Orthodox Jewry was wet again and again with new adherance and stores of knowledge. There was no fear as long as Orthodox Jews immigrated here, as long as they represented the spiritual messages and guidance from Europe, as long as the basis of Orthodoxy was there across the sea. 6
