After an interval of almost 30
years, Sabbath Eve services will
be re-introduced in Temple Beth
El next Friday evening, Feb. 14,
at 8 o'clock. This service, which
will be held in addition to the
regular Sabbath morning and
Sundatr—anorning senvites in_ the
Temple, is in response to a re-
quest made by various groups
recently organized under the
Temple Unit Group Plan.
It is proposed that each of these
Sabbath Eve services be sponsored
byone of the groups. The first
service will be under thespon-
sorship of the group whose chair-
man is Benjamin Wilk. This group
will furnish the ushers for this
occasion, and will provide flowers
for the pulpit Its members will
also have charge of the reception
to members which will follow the
service.
The Temple Choir, under the
direction of George Galvani, will
furnish traditional Sabbath Eve
music at the services. Their pro-
gram has been in rehearsal for
several months.
The first sermon, as previously
announced, will be delivered by
Dr. Leo M. Franklin on the sub-
ject: "The Sabbath as a Social
Force." The following week the
sermon will be preached by Rabbi
Leon Fram.
It is proposed to have eight
Sabbath Eve services this season
and if the congregational attend-
ance warrants, they will be made
a permanent feature of the Tem-
ple program.

gregation, but all persons inter-
ested are invited.

peal to further the settlement in Palestine of tens of thousands of
Jews of Germany, Poland and other lands, in the principal resolu-

of the country at the Hotel Willard here.
A previous decision to raise $2,500,000 for the United Pal-
estine Appeal was amended to provide for an increase of $1;000,000 on receipt of a
cabled request from the Executive of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, supreme'Jew-
ish authority in the rebuilding of Palestine, that the change should be made in view of
the worsened position of the Jews in Germany and other European lands who are ap-
pealing for aid in settling in Palestine if they are to be saved from oppression and

National Fund, which has become
the principal Jewish afforestation
agency in Ereta Israel, first start-
ed activity. Dunng the ensuing
period it haz planted nearly two
million trees, and the idea of
giving a woodland to Palestine as
a tribute or a memorial to per-
sonages whom the Jewish people
wish to honor has become a per-
manent feature in the redemption
of the land.
The practical assistance ren-
dered by trees was emphasized by
the High Commissioner, Sir Ar-
thur Wauchope, when he planted
the King's trees u the first in
the Jubilee Forest on Dee. 19.
"We should also remember." the
High Commissioner said, "that by
conserving both water and soil,
every tree planted helps to en-
rich the countryside. This we
see not only in the strength of
its own roots and branches, but
also is the Ids it gives to other
plants which may flourish in the
lee of its shelter and beneath its
shadow."
