J. N. F. Auxiliary
Detroit Hashomer
Luncheon Rally
Hatzair Sending
Chalutzim to Zion The Ladies Auxiliary of the
Hashomer Hatzair, the world
Zionist scout movement, will hold
a dress review of all . shomrim
on Sunday, March 10, in honor
of one of its youthful leaders,
Miss Shonnie Moser, who will
leave for the Hashomer training
farm in New York State prepar-
atory to her departure for Pal-
estine. Miss Moser, prominent in
Detroit Zionist work and Jewish
welfare activity, has been one of
the most e nergetic leaders in the
Detroit Ken of Hashomer Hat-
zaid. Her departure for the Sho-
mer training farm, at
Liberty, N. Y., for a year of agri-
cultural training preparatory to
her aliyah to Palestine as a mem-
ber of the third American kib-
butz of Hashomer, marks an ad-
ditional link of the Detroit group
of the movement with the Jewish
Homeland.
Shonnie, as Miss Moser is
known to her many friends, is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Louis Moser of 2704 Taylor Ave.,
and became associated with the
Zionist movement through her
activity in the local chapter of
Hashomer Hatzair. Born, raised
and educated in Detroit, Shonnie
is now starting the period of what
shomrim call in Hebrew "hag-
shamah," self-realization.
The Detroit ken of Hashomer
Hatzair also announces the ar-
rival and settlement at the Sho-
mer training farm of Kurt Kulka,
another of its members. Kurt, a
lad of 19, came to Detroit from
Vienna, Austria, following an-
schluss of Austria. In happier
days Kurt was famed in Austria
as an Olympic swimmer and a
violinist of note. His tale of es-
cape is typical of the horror
which Jewish youth must face in
Central Europe. In Detroit he
became associated with Hasho-
mer through whose ranks he has
risen and is now preparing for
a chalutz life in the kibbutz
movement in Palestine.
Hashomer Hatzair has recently
announced the hityashut of the
second American kibbutz at Kfar
Menachem in honor of Menachem
Ussishkin. Former members of
the Detroit ken of Hashomer Hat-
lair now integrated in the chal-
utz life in Palestine are Levi
Shapiro, Esther Weisinger and
Yirmiyahu Haggai, son of the
educator and leader Joseph Hag-
gai. The late Ephraim Ticktin is
now being honored with the
planting of a grove in his name.
