3 Mizrachi GirlS
to Teach in Eretz

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Three
young New York girls have sailed
for Palestine where, as the first
contingent of religious - Zionist
Junior Mizracht Women, they will
serve two years as educators in
Mizrachl Women - sponsored chil-
dren's homes. During that time
they will continue their own stu-
dies in Palestinian institutions of
higher learning.
The three girls who are spear-
heading the nationwide movement
of Junior Mizrachi Women now
being trained for subsequent emi-
;ration to Palestine, are New
Yorkers. They have just com-
pleted one year of supervised
training designed to orient them
for their work in the Holy Land.
On boarding ship, the young
Mizrachi Women asserted that
"they were fed up with the mean-
ingless words and hollow inten-
tions so many of our ago profess
when they speak of aiding their
people, now in their greatest tra-
gedy. We welcome this as the
first step towards realizing our
dream of contributing tangibly to
the welfare of our people in their
own home."
