80% of Migrants in Last 20 Years Settled in Israel

By NATHAN ZIPRIN

A BOUT 4,000,000 JEWS migrated from one continent

to another in the past 100 years and, up to the first
World War, the United States absorbed about 90 per
cent of them.
These interesting figures on Jewish
peregrinations were disclosed by D.
Ilya Dijour at the recent annual meet-
ing of the Yiddish Scientific Institute.
During the same period Palestine
absorbed about four per cent of the
immigration stream.
Between the years 1925, when strict
quota laws were established in the
United States, and 1945, Palestine
showed an 80 per cent absorption rate
Ziprin
of the wanderers. Since the rise of
Israel the migration wave has had only one direction-
the Jewish state.
At the same time the demographic character of
Israel has been undergoing a marked change in conse-

quence of the huge influx of oriental Jews. In 1948,
oriental Jews constituted 10 per cent of the general
Jewish population in Israel. In 1950, the percentage
rose to 30 per cent.

THE LATE JACOB Aaronson, one of the Grand
Central brains, was not a boastful man. But he could
never resist telling his Gentile friends and admirers
that he owed his sharp head to Jewish heredity. The
Aaronsons were said to stem from the Gaon of Vilna.
Some ten years ago Bernard G. Richards inter-
viewed Sinclair Lewis. The famous novelist said then
that if he were a Jew he would be an assimilationist
and an anti-Zionist. He was more positive however in
the approach of defending Jewish rights.
"Personally," he said, "I would favor the aggressive

stand," adding "You've got to hit back pretty hard
when on the other side you have so much arrogance,
so much downright chutzpah.". . .

THE EUROPEAN BRANCH of Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer recently held a conference in London. Partici-
pating were representatives of 18 countries. Most of
them were Jews.
Sam Eckman, London director of Metro-Goldwyn,
was to chair the meeting but he was troubled how to
surmount the language obstacle since the delegates
were from different countries.
Finally he hit upon a bright idea. He began speak-
ing Yiddish. And the miracle happened. The delegates
who called themselves French and Spanish and Italian
and so forth suddenly began conversing in Yiddish.
When the meeting was over the executives laud:A
Eckman for his brilliant idea and spent an evening
with him at a wine cellar singing Yiddish folk songs.
Since there is a Yiddish saying "af kein meise fregt
men nit kein frages," I will not endeavor to speculate
what happened to the goyim.

Woman, Past 105 ,
Feels Like a Bride

NEW YORW— (WNS) —Five
children, 58 grandchildren, 42
great - grandchildren and two
great-great grandchildren cele-
brated here the 105th birthday of
their mother, grandmother and
great-grandmother, Sarah Arano-
witz.
The celebration took place at
a Brooklyn home for the aged,
where the woman has been liv-
ing the past three years.
Mrs. Aranowitz, who came to
this country from Vilna 66 years
ago, told newsmen she felt like
"a bride" and that she will con-
tinue living "as long as I am
satisfied with life."
At the home where she is liv-
ing, Mrs. Aranowitz is called an
"angel" and "philosopher" be-
cause of her habit of consoling
and advising people in moments
of trouble and decision. She
hopes to celebrgre her 120th
birthday. But beyond that she
refuses to make predictions.
