; Knowledge is the light of the world. It is not amiss that the Jewish Press chooses Chanukah time, the season of-light and the praise of liberty and learning, to appeal to you for support. . The Jewish Press, bringing its readers tidings of Jews the world over, binds them in a closer fellowship, and spreads the light of knowledge and understanding. In four pages, which you may read without the trouble of going through several hundred columns of -printed matter, you will find, greatly condensed, the news of the Jewish worldWhether it happened in Omaha or Oradeamare, Hoboken or Haifa,—the Jewish Press will have it. Long before the daily papers earned news of anti-semitic riots in Roumanja, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, by which the Jewish Press is served, reported them.
