The age-long sufferings and tribulations which the Jews all over the world have so cruelly experienced will be terminated during the Bahá’í era, as they will be gradually led to embrace the Faith which, indeed, constitutes the only means of salvation to their race.” (Letter of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, September 22, 1937)
