leading British Zionists.
The London Times, in comment-
ing on the speech, which it also
carried, asks editorially why Jew-
ish aid was declined. It points
out a Jewish force of 10,000 was
mobilized despite restrictions and
rendered good service in Greece,
Crete, Libya, and Syria, even
though these Jews were described
only as "Palestinians”.

86 Jewish refugees are on their
way back to the misery of Eu-
rope, after having been denied
entrance to Argentina, Paraguay
and Brazil, even though funds
to prevent their becoming public

the Paraguayan Government. It
is understood that the British

similarly turned their backs on
the pleas for admission of the
refugees, who have been looking
for a landing place since last
January.
Most of the passengers on the

into Argentina, their original
goal, because they lacked visas,
have threatened to commit suicide
on the high seas rather than land
again in Europe.
7,800 Jews Killed in Jassy
Massacre
JERUSALEM. — (JPS-Palcor)
—The grimmest episode in all
the ghastly era of Hitler is now
being enacted in Rumania, with
the most brutal slaying of thou-
sands of Jews, according to re-
ports from reliable sources which
have just reached here.
Collective punishment imposed
on the majority of the Rumanian-
Jewish communities, in terms of
physical brutality and expropria-
tions, have taken heavy toll. All
the Jewish males, and also wom-
en, left in the town of Jassy
were rounded up by the German
and Rumania soldier1, and were
slaughtered by machine-gun fire.
7,800 were killed in the massacre.

Temple Israel Opens
Its Friday Services
Thanksgiving Service at Mecca-
bees Bldg. Nov. 21
The Sabbath Eve services of
Temple Israel opened Friday
night, Nov. 7. Members of the
new congregation and their
friends crowded into the Macca-
bees Auditorium occupying its en-
tire seating capacity of over 600.
The policy which Rabbi Fram
announced in his installation ad-
dress was realized. The congre-
gation participated in the serv-
ice. They not only sang the fa-
miliar Sabbath hymns but joined
Cantor Robert S. Tulman in the
singing of the Hebrew responses
of the service. Cantor Tulman
gave beauty to the service by his
rendition of the traditional melo-
dies of the Kiddush and other
Sabbath Eve prayers. The serv-
ice was replete with symbolism,
including the reading from the
Scroll. .
Rabbi Leon Fram preached
the subject, "Religion in t17.-.
World Crisis". The essence of his
sermon was the declaration that,
in the great conflict which faces
us, religion is the prime issue.
The hour of sociability and re-
freshment which followed the
service was arranged by Mrs.
Leon B. Cowen. The youth sym-
posium was conducted by Robert
Mazer, chairman of the Young
People's Club of Temple Israel.
The idea met with a warm re-
sponse by the young people who
stayed until midnight discussing
the theme of. Rabbi Fram's ser-
mon.
The institution of a youth sym-
posium, following the Sabbath
Eve service, was created in De-
troit by Rabbi Fram and has
achieved a national reputation
and emulation.
At .the services of Nov. 14, the
Lt. Eli Levin Post of the Jewish
World War Veterans of the
United States, presented Temple
Israel with an American Flag.
Dr. Robert Rosen made the pres-
entation. The congregation pro-
nounced the pledge to the Flag
and Morris Garvett, president of
Temple Israel; accepted the Flag
in the name of the congregation.
On Friday night, Nov. 21, Tem-
ple Israel will observe Thanks-
giving Sabbath Eve. Rabbi Leon
Fram will pearch on the subject:
"Thanksgiving—A Festival of the
American Spirit".
