A Non-Jewish Impres-
sion of Tel Aviv

Truth About the Jews of Russia

By Henry W. Nevinson.

ARTICLE II.

(Copyright, 1926, Jewish Telegraphic
Agency.)

By REUBEN BRAININ,
Dean of Hebrew Writers.

Tel Aviv is to Jaffa what a motor
is to a camel. There on its promon-
tory stands old Jaffa, with its memo-
ries of St. Peter and his mission to
the Gentiles. Its dark, narrow streets,
paved with slippery steps and lumps
of rock, wind under vaulted caverns
and flying buttresses that support the
blind walls on either side. Here is
the obscure bazaar, crammed with
articles that few would call goods.

(Editors Note:—In this article of the series on the life of Rus-

line of his impressions of the Jewish back-to-the-soil movement in
Russia. It forms a background for the articles that are to follow,
which will depict the various aspects and consequences of the amaz-
