Even if Rabbi Abba
Hillel Silver had not led The Temple for 46 years, or led the fight
for United States public and government support for the
establishment of the State of Israel, or been a civic activist, his
scholarly writings would place him as Cleveland's leading Jewish
scholar.

God built a continent of glory and filled it with treasures untold.
He studded it with sweet flowing fountains, and traced it with long
winding streams;
He carpeted it with soft rolling plains, and columned it with thundering
mountains;
He planted it with shadowed forests and filled them with song.
Then he called unto a thousand peoples and summoned the bravest among
them;
They came from the ends of the earth each bearing a gift and a hope,
And out of the bounty of the earth and the labor of men,
Out of the longing of hearts and the prayers of souls,
Out of the memory of ages and the hopes of the world;
God fashioned a nation, in love, blessed it with purpose sublime and
called it
AMERICA.
