JERUSALEM Palcor Agen-
cy) — The tomb of Rachel in
"Ephrath's Field," where peni-
tential pilgrimages are held dur-
ing this entire month of Ellul
before Rosh Hashonah, was the
scene of solemn prayer by Chief
Rabbi Ben Zion Meier Uziel of
the Sephardic communities of
Palestine on behalf of the Jeru-
salem Kehillah, for the success
of the British forces in the war.
In a ceremony made more sig-
nificant by the tragedy of Tel
Aviv, the Chief Rabbi offered
his prayer in the presence of a
large gathering, among whom
was District Commissioner Ed-
ward Keith-Roach.
"Proud of Your Courage," Dr.
Weizmann Cables
LONDON. (Palcor Agency)—
"I am proud of the courage
shown by the people of Tel
Aviv," Dr. Chaim Weizmann,
president of the Jewish Agency
for Palestine, cabled to leaders
of the bombed Jewish commun-
ity.
"Please convey to the people
of Tel Aviv and to the entire
Yishuv my own and my col-
leagues' sentiments of heartfelt
solidarity with them in their or-
deal," the cable read.
"This wonton attack on an un-
defended city stresses the dicta-
tors' hatred of the Jewish peo-
ple and their National Home. It
is bound only to strengthen our
resolution to take as Jews a most
active part in the struggle for
democracy and Jewish freedom.
"We here will continue with
renewed vigor our efforts to pro-
vide for full Jewish participa-
tion in the general Allied cause
and especially for an adequate
part for Palestine Jewry in the
defense of its country.
"I am proud of the courage
shown by the people of Tel Aviv
and feel assured that the whole
Yishuv will stand with determi-
nation all trials which await us
until the victory of democracy
and our cause is assured."
It is established that 40 houses
were damaged in the attack,
apart from several wooden huts
which were destroyed by bom-
bardment and fire. New funerals
for additional victims were held
here Friday.
In order better to care for the
injured, the Hadassah Hospital
has established a branch in a
school building near the scene
of greatest damage.

ties last week after the city of
Tel Aviv had been bombed by
Italian war planes and a new
regime had risen to power in
Rumania, multiplying enormous-
ly the work of immediate relief
and reconstruction which must
be maintained through active
support of numerous local cam-
paigns now being projected and
carried forward on behalf of the
United Jewish .Appeal for Ref-
ugees and Overseas Needs.
The words of Dr. Chaim Weiz-
mann in his cabled message to
the people of Tel Aviv struck a
responsive chord in the spirit
of American Jewish leadership
now mobilizing all its forces be-
hind the intensive fall campaigns
which represent the nationwide
efforts on behalf of the work of
relief and emigration aid in Eu-
rope, South America and Shan-
ghai; Palestine settlement and
upbuilding, and refugee integra-
tion into American life through
the activities of the Joint Dis-
tribution Committee, the United
Palestine Appeal and the Na-

As the agency of the United
Jewish Appeal supporting num-
erous local committees in Eu-
ropean lands which are bringing
the only help available to Jews
in German-occupied Poland • as
well as unoccupied France, the
Joint Distribution Committee has
found its requirements sharply
heightened by increasing reliance
of European Jewish communi-
ties upon American support by
increasing reliance of European
Jewish communities upon Amer-
ican support as the one la st
source of help.
