to visit on Passover is the little group of Samaritan Jews. These Jews, allegedly a relic of ancient Israel, still celebrate the Passover in the ancient Biblical fashion, with the sacrifice of a lamb. For many centuries the Samari- tans, who observe only the scrip- tural injunctions, minus Talmudic additions, were not regarded in too friendly a vein by the other Jews, but today this feeling has disappeared. While the Samari- tans still maintain their own in- of the turtle-dove which is heard tegrity, the geneality of Jews in in the land.

If one may compare walking in Palestine is something different religions, one might say of a sport, like golf in other that he is to the Jewish children countries. Palestine is a small country and of Palestine what Santa Claus is almost everywhere there is some to the Christian child. One of the most favored places thing to see. Many visit the Tomt Passover in Palestine Is Festival of Outdoors Everyone Goes Out for Weeks to See the Sights in Cities and Countryside THE LYRIC WORDS of the Song of Songs best describes Passover in Palestine. "For now the time of the singing of birds has come and the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in the land." The winter rainy season is over. The hills and valleys are covered with little flowers. The birds be- gin to sing. Nature displays a gladsome panorama. The synagogues of Palestine are filled for the services on Passover, yet essentially Passover is an out- door festival. Three times a year, Scripture commanded, all the Jews were to go up to the Temple in Jerusalem — and Passover is one of them. And. today many thousands of Jews from all over Palestine jour- ney to Jerusalem and, certainly, on their first visit they will not fail to see what is left of the ancient Temple. Going to Jerusalem from other parts of Palestine today, one may travel by train, car or bus. The great majority travel by bus. The view as one approaches Jer- usalem makes it less difficult to understand how the people here were saturated with such a strong God-consciousness, for Nature pre- sents a striking phenomenon. Jer- usalem stands on a high hill, yet close by is the Dead Sea valley, the lowest spot on the globe. As one mounts in the bus the narrow ribbon of incline to Jeru- salem the sight of the deeps be- low emphasizes the majesty of the contrast.

And after you have walked, and seen the sights and visited one another, there is still another thing for many adjourn to the cafes, which in Palestine serve as club houses. Many of the cafes are out in the open and this, as you may guess, helps to make it more pleasant.

With its high walls and streets and with steps which sug- gest a gigantic building rather than a city as we know it. It is ancient and picturesque. Today, the majority of the Jews have moved out of the Old City to the more commodious and mod- ern town erected outside of the walls, but still a considerable ele- ment of more ancient Jewish set- tlers maintain their homes in the Old City. But Jerusalem and its environs has many historic points of inter- est and the Jews of Palestine on Passover are all walking. The term for the walk in Hebrew is "tee-ool." It is a word which is on everyone's lips on Passover. Everyone is out on a tee-ool to see the sights, and perhaps the oddest part about it is that the sight which is interesting above all is the people themselves. We are such a many-aspected people and nowhere do we realize this so much as in Palestine. Bu- kowinian Jews with Jews from Poland, Jews from Yemen and Morocco, Jews from Persia and from Austria, from New York and California, are all to be seen walk- ing beside each other, differently dressed, looking different, often differently colored, yet all Jews. One gets a kind of pleasure on these Passover walks which per- haps may be compared to a man just seeing brothers and sisters whom he had not seen since child- hood. • • • Yes, everybody is out on his "tee-ool" on Passover. The time of the "singing of birds" has come but it is not only the voice of Rachel, on the road to Beth- lehem, and many others continue on to see Bethlehem itself. Today, a favored spot for the tee-ool is Mt. Scopus, where the Hebrew University is located. It was, as a matter of fact, during the Passover week that the exer- cises first opening the Hebrew University were held with Gen. Allenby, Lord Balfour and Dr. Weizmann present.
