Antwerp Rabbi in London

Following a perilous journey on
foot from Antwerp to Dunkirk,
and from that beleagured city
across the channel to England,
Dayan Rabinov of Antwerp ar-
rived here. The rabbi described
the plight of refugees escaping
from Belgium as "pitiful."
He reported that the road to
Dunkirk was under constant bom-
bardment and that many fleeing
refugees fell victim to Nazi ma-
chine gun bullets. Many of the
refugees, he said, walked for
hours on end without food or
water.
Rabinov was unable to shed any
light on the whereabouts of Chief
Rabbi Rottenberg of Antwerp and
many other Jews who were last
reported in Calais.
A spokesman for the British
government announced that reli-
gious facilities would be provided
for Jewish refugees, interned here
with the rest of the alien popu_
lotion, The step was taken follow-
ing negotiations with Chief Rabbi
Joseph H. Hertz.
The possibility of establishing
a special camp, equipped with
kosher facilities, for orthodox
Jewish refugees wits said to be
under consideration by the Brit-
ish government.

Jewish Doctors Mobilized

All Jewish doctors in Czechoslo-
vakia have been ordered to reg
ister with the government for spe-
cial service, it was reported here,
giving confirmation to an earlier
report that the Nazi army was
sending its wounded soldiers to
Czechoslovakia.
The report stated that the Nazi
High Command had ordered the
injured soldiers sent to Czechoslo-
vakia in order to keep the German
population from learning the ex-
tent of the casualties suffered by
the Nazi army in the battle of
Flanders.
Schools and hospitals were
crowded with wounded men, ninny
of them lying on the floor. Jewish
doctors who refuse to cooperate
with Nazi officials are subject to
severe punishment.

Typhu s Epidemic Takes Heavy
Toll in Warsaw and Lodz

A typhus epidemic, attributed
to warm weather and an inade-
quate food and water supply, has
taken a heavy toll among the
Jews of Warsaw and Lodz, it
was learned here.
As early as last winter, phy-
swans had warned that unless
immediate aid was forthcoming
an epidemic in the badly over-
crowded Jewish section of War.
saw was inevitable. Reports of
similar epidemics in small towns
and provinces have also been re-
ceived,

Italian Anti-Semitism on Increase
as Result of War Propaganda .

•

PARIS (WNS) — Anti.Sennt-
lc organizations are growing ra-
pidly throughout Italy as a . re
sult of the intensive pro-Nazi war
propaganda, it was learned on
good authority here. Anti-Jewish
de
monstrations were held at Mi-
lan, Florence and a number of
other Italian cities as the Fascist
Government prepared its people
for war on the side of the Nazis.

that, in the future, they "will
share of the fate of the Jews in
Nazi-occupied Poland and of the
Jews in Germany itself." Jews
are compelled to remove the debris
resulting from the Nazi aerial
bombardment.
The Nazi invasion was the
signal for Dutch and Belgian anti-
Semites, previously held in check
by the respective governments of
those countries, to organize street
meetings and demonstrations aim-
ed at the Jews. All Jewish prop-
erty is now in the process of liqui-
dation.

CLIFTON AVENUE - CINCINNATI 20, OHIO

RABBI JACOB M. LESIN

Kolel Kovno Yeshiva of Lithu-
ania.
During their stay here, Rabbis
Lesin and Karpen rill address
synagogues and organizations in
their effort to raise funds to
help assure the continued exist-
ence of the famous Lithuanian
Yeshiva.
A local committee has been
formed to assist the two guests in
their efforts.
In his last will, the great Rabbi
Isaac Elchanan Spector appealed
for the upkeep of the Kolel
Kovno Yeshiva. He spoke of this
great school as one of the most
important institutions in Jewry
in the world.

Camp Sherbrooke
Offers an Ideal
Summer Vacation

Summer camps for children can
no longer be regarded as a lux.
ury. Camp Sherbrooke, with its
moderate rates and deserved
reputation for skilled and pro-
gressive personnel, offers to
thoughtful parents an attractive
opportunity to provide their chil-
dren with a happy, healthful and
stimulating summer's vacation.
The camp is ideally located on
the shore of Big Wolf Lake near
Jackson, Mich., and is available
to boys and girls from the ages
of 6 to 15. The camp's nursery
group accommodates children
from the ages of 3 to 6.
Mrs. Leo Mellen, director, has
taught school in Detroit for the
past l9 years and her experience
has been a determining factor in
the camp's success and the h rh
quality and character of its er-
sonnel. Each counsellor has a at-
tractive, warm personality, train-
ing and experience in one or more
of the camp's special activities
and in child guidance and is in
possession of the special char-
acter traits necessary for the as-
sumption and proper discharge of
the responsibilities of child care
and guidance.
The nursery group is particu-
larly fortunate in being under
the direction of Mrs. Lisl Langer,
a refugee from Vienna, who has
had considerable experience in
European children's camps and
for seven years was scientific as-
sistant to Professor Lazar, head
of the psychotherapeutic depart.
ment of the famous Children's
Clinic of the University of Vienna.
Her assistants include Mrs. Frieda
Barr, a graduate of the Woman's
Hospital in Detroit, and Miss
Sheila Fox, both of whom have
had special training in child care.
Mrs. David Kliger, who is well-
known in this community, and
who last year supervised the
health of Sherbrooke campers, un-
der the direction of Dr. Foust
of Grass Lake and Jackson,
Mich., has assumed the same post
this year. Mrs. Kliger is the first
Jewish graduate from the High-
land Park Hospital Schdkr of
Nursing and has specialized in
the mental growth and develop-
ment of the pre-school child at
the Merrill Palmer School.
Parents are invited to inspect
Camp Sherbrooke. To get to the
camp, take U. S. 12 through Ann
Arbor to Grass Lake, which is
approximately 60 miles from De-
troit. The camp is about four

Form Committee
To Aid Publishing
Bible Commentary

A committee consisting of Dr.
A. M. Hershman, Rabbi Morris
Adler, Dr. Leo M. Franklin, Rab-
bi Leon Fram, Rabbi J. S. Sper-
ka, Rabbi Max J. Wohlgelernter,
Isaac Shetzer, Morris Blumberg,
Judge Harry B. Keidan, H. C.
Grossman; and others to be co-
opted, was formed this week to
aid Rabbi Menachem M. Kasher
in publishing his Bible commen-
tary. The committee will be
known as the Detroit Torah
Shelemah Committee.
Emulating the example set by
other communities in sponsoring
the publishing of specific volumes
of this Bible commentary, the
intention is to have Detroit pub-
lish one volume sponsored by
this city.
A meeting of this committee
was held on June 5, and the
work of soliciting Detroit Jews
is proceeding at this time.
A Palestinian, Rabbi Kasher
has devoted his life to his pres-
ent work and has compiled more
than 500 interpretations of cer-
tain important passages, adding
his own to them.
In the course of his work, Rab-
bi Kasher has combed the works
of Yemenites and has collected
the most complete jibrary of its
kind containing valuable infor-
mation from this source.
Rabbi Kasher's work, known
as Torah Shelemah, has won
commendations from outstanding
scholars throughout the world.
Jews and non-Jews have lauded
his work.
Rabbi Kasher's work has the
support of outstanding scholars
throughout the world, including
Chief Rabbi Dr. Isaac Herzog
of Palestine, Prof. Abraham
Frankel of the Hebrew Univer-
sity, Prof Simcha Assaf of the
Hebrew University and others. A
group of these leaders issued a
statement endorsing his work in
which they stated:
"It is indeed difficult for the
one examining the already pub-
lished volumes of the 'Torah
Shelemah' to believe that this
magnum opus is the result of
the unaided efforts of one man;
for to bring forth such a stu-
pendous creation a staff of schol-
ars, each one expert in his field.
would seem necessary. Yet the
enormous talents, indefatigable
energy and inexhaustible zeal of
Rabbi Kasher have combined to
accomplish the seemingly impos-
sible.
"It is incumbent upon everyone
to whom the lore of our holy
Torah is dear to have the `Torah
Shelemah' on the shelves of his
library. And everyone who values
true Jewish scholarship should
take an active interest in estab-
lishing endowments so that Rab-
bi Kashed may be enabled to
continue issuing succeeding vol-
umes of his Encyclopedia of
Commentaries with regularity. It
would be an everlasting dis-
grace to our generation if, for
lack of necessary funds, there
should be a serious interruption
in this all-important work.
"Everyone who has seen the
first eight volumes of this En-
cyclopedia (which is to encom-
pass 30 volumes) must await the
issuance of subsequent volumes
with impatience. But it is un-
fortunate that there is delay
in the publication of the re-
maining volumes because the
worthy author - compiler must
spend so much of his precious
time in traveling about to raise
means for the continuing of his
noble enterprise."
