Dr. Sidney Marks Joins ZOD
in Tribute to Daniel Frisch

Tribute to the late president of
the Zionist Organization of Am-
ica, Daniel Frisch, was paid at a
memorial meeting on Ap}il 20 at
the Dexter Center.
Main speaker of the evening
was Dr. Sidney Marks, executive
director of the ZOA, who charac-
terized Frisch as a man who will
live on in his deeds and accom-
plishments. He described Frisch
as a warm-hearted Jew and ar-
dent Zionist and added that it
will take some time to fully un-
derstand the impact he made on
the Zionist movement of America.
Marks analyzed Frisch as a
man of the people, who knew
how to charm them. His sense of
humor helped him over many a
difficult situation. His love of
Yiddish also facilitated the con-
tact with the people.
Frisch tried to bring things down
to reality. He wanted to build
and remodel Jewish communal
life. He was a man of action. He
saw Zionism as the only dynamic
force which could revolutionize
communal life. And his sincerity

Mizrachi Head
Lauds Culture
of Kibbutzim

By HAROLD S. COHEN
"The work on Mizrachi differs
from that of all other4organiza-
tions in that it gives a child spir-
itual care in addition to physical
and cultural care." With these

words, Mrs. Lionel Golub of New
York, national president of the

Mizrachi Women's Organization,
defined the work of her group.
Mrs. Golub, a small energetic
woman. was guest of honor at a
breakfast held by the Sisters of
Zion Mizrachi, senior Detroit
group. last Wednesday.
"We give the children in our
care a spiritual core along with
manual training, scientific agri-
cultural training or industrial
training," she added.
The Mizrachi Organization is
the women's orthodox Zionist
group which is devoted to work
in Israel in the fields of educa-
tion. child rescue, youth aliyah,
and resettlement, she said.
At present we are maintain-
ing 49 separate projects which
care for 3,500 children, Mrs. Go-
lub continued.
She visited Israel about one
year ago and retains strong mem-
ories of the country.
The thing that impressed Mrs.
Golub most in Israel was the
powerful feeling of unity and
love for the land.
"The Israeli§ have an optimis-
tic outlook," she stated. "They
look to the future and place their
hopes upon the new generation,
therefore they are most interest-
ed in the building and develop-
ment of the children."
On the question of education,
Mrs. Golub said that she felt that
those children who come from
religious homes should be given
a religious training. She called
for support of the Mizrachi pro-
gram of religion as part of the
educational process.
The cultural life of Israel also
amazed Mrs. Golub. She told of
the long waits of days and weeks
to get tickets to concerts, plays
and to attend adult seminars.
"Israel is a beacon of light in
the darkness of the Middle East,"
she added. The cultural life on
the Kibbutzim is enormous.
Where else do you find communi-
ties of farmers with museums,
adult seminars, regular concerts
and dramatic groups? she asked.
"I came away with the convic-
tion that everyone on Israel is
certain that the land will remain
theirs, because there is no sac-
rifice that they will not make to
keep it," she Coticluded.

about his ideals wrought won-
ders, Marks added.
PROGRAM AWAITS ACTION
Frisch's program of action still
remains to be carried out, the
speaker concluded. It consists of
these four points:
1) Establishment of the Jewish
homeland under guarantees from
the United States and other big
powers as to boundaries and oth-
er securities;
2) Consolidation of Israel's ec-
onomic status;
3) Education of the Jewish
masses, and
4) Democratization of Jewish
life.
Marks called it a practical and
Herzlean program.
Tribute to Frisch also was paid
by Rabbi Morris Adler of Con-
gregation Shaarey Zedek and
Rabbi Moses Lehrman of Con-
gregation Bnai Moshe.
Adler said that to Frisch Zion-
ism was not philanthropy but an
expression of the will of the Jew-
ish people to live. He was deeply
rooted in Jewish culture.
Adler emphasized that Frisch's
ascendency to the Zionist presi-
dency marks a milestone in Jew-
ish organization: the rise of lay
leadership.
FRISCH'S PHILOSOPHY
The speaker stressed the broad
interests displayed by Frisch. His
broad views, he said, did not sac-
rifice intensity. For him, Judaism
was no problem but an invita-
tion to a richer life.
Rabbi Lehrman pointed out
that Frisch's Zionism was a syn-
thesis of Herzl's 'Judenstaat' and
Achad Haam's cultural center.
Frisch sought auto-emancipation
