A.) — Pom-
pous ceremonies marked the
marriage of Rachel, daughter of
the rabbi of Alexandrow. and
Mendel, grandson of the rabbi
of Karnorow, uniting two Chas-
sidic houses. The marriage was
of political significance since it
is expected to create peace be-
t VICe0 the two houses, in con-
nection with their participation
in the work of the Agudath
Israel.
A 24-room villa was erected
at Alexandrow, near Lodz, es-
pecially for the ceremony,
which was attended by 5,000
followers of the rabbis. More
than 400 telegrams of greetings
were received. Fifty rabbis
were present. The bride is 17

Do Not Differ With Orthodox.
Denial of charges made in ter-
tain quarters that the rabbis who
were graduated from the Jewish
Theological Seminary and are af-
filiated with the Rabbinical Assem-
bly are creating at "third party" in
Judaism was made by Rabbi Max
Drob, former president of the as-
sembly, in at paper entitled "A
Rtaffirmation of Traditional Juda-
ism." Rabbi Droll asserted that
the Reform rabbis in the United
States have made "a mess of their
task" and emphasized that tradi-
tional Judaism as expounded by
the Jewish Theological Seminary
oboes not differ fundamentally from
so-called Orthodox Judaism. In
fact, he said, they are identical ex-
cept for the method used. State-
ments of the late Dr. S. Schechter
and Dr. Cyrus Adler were quoted
by Dr. Drob in support of his view.
Dr. Schechter had stated repeat-
edly that the Jewish Theological
Seminary is not the center nor
even the nucleus of a third ;tarty
in Judaism. Dr. Cyrus Adler
summed up his view in one sen-
tence: "What has been preserved
for 4,000 years was not saved that
I should overthrow it."
"Traditional Judaism RI it was
taught in the seminary differs front
the so-called Orthodox Judaism as
practiced in Eastern Europe only
in method. Without casting any
reflection on our East European
brethren, we believe that tradi-
tional Judaism in this land cal

ZIONIST EXECUTIVE
DEFICIT IS REDUCED

(J. T. A.)—
JERUSALEM.
The deficit of the Palestine Zion-
ist Executive has in the period
dating from Oct 1927 up until the
present been reduced 1 I U OM
pounds, by the Keren Ilayesod
Foundation Fund, bringing the to-
tal indebtedness of the executive
down to 250,0o1 peunds from its
previous 400,000 pounds, harry
Soacher, member of the Palestine
Zionist Executive made known at
it conference of press representa-
tives here.
Despite its new borrowings and
its depreciated income, the Pales-
tine Foundation Fund has been able
to effect this reduction, at the same
time wiping out its indebtedness to
the teachers and officials, Sir. Such-
VI' declared.
The cut in the indebtedness of
the executive was made possible by
the reduction of the budgets, the
principal reduction Ming in the
budget for colonization. According
to Mr. Sacher, the executive con-
fined itself to maintain the exist-
ing settlements, pending the ar- •
rival of additional revenue and set'
itself the task of solving the prob-
lem of the 0,1)1)0 unemployed, which
was the outstanding problem which
it faced at that time.

The Jewish student organizations
in Belgium denied these charges
as Shapiro, who is now a Palestin-
ian, is known to be a devout Zion-

ponent of the Communist doctrine.
It was related that shortly before

An examination of the quota-
tion from the Lord's Day Leader
in the light of the Scriptures and
ut historical data, will show lw-
yond the shadow of a doubt that
there is no foundation whatever
for the assertion "that the ancient
Sabbaths fell on the seventh tiny
after the Passover, and not on the
seventh day of the week." In the
first place, there is no "intelligent
Jewish rabbi" who will admit the
above premise. Neither is there
any Jewish history or Bible com-
mentary that will show that the
