PASSOVER GREETINGS
In view of the numerous inquiries which have come to the Zionist
office in the past few months concerning private, economic enterprises
for Palestine in America, and land selling agencies that have been
established here, the Zionist Organization has found it necessary to
make clear its position in regard to these various enterprises, without
casting any reflection on the legitimacy of any individual undertak-
ing. Prior to his departure for London, Mr. Lipsky issued the fol-
lowing statement:

By SAMUEL S. COHEN,
In the B'nai B'rith Magazine.
The Jewish home derives much of
its beauty and warmth from the reli-
gious atmosphere which pervades it,
and particularly from the special cere-
monies that hallow it on the Sabbath
and the Festivals. Among these the
Setter service ranks foremost. It
brightens the life of the family circle
by its rich symbolism. Everything
connected with the Seder, the table
decorations, the ornamented matzo
dish, and those Joys of the children's
hearts—the stained-glass wine cups
—all lend tone and color to the occa-
sion. The quaint ritual, the cheerful
tunes, and the festive spirit, heighten
the emotions and kindle the imagina-
tion. The moving narrative of the
Passover rouses our memories, and
transports us to the days of the Exo-
dus, when under the leadership of the
