DETROIT' JEWISH CHRONICLE

Aged Hearts Are Yourig 1 Jericho Yields Explaining the Bonds
as Seder Nigitt Arrives Herod's Palace

The age-old ritual that has
bound generations of Jews to-
gether for more than 2,000 years
was repeated at the Jewish
Home for the Aged last Saturday
evening as the oldest resident,
103-year-old Isaac Magel rose to
ask the traditional four questions
usually reserved for the youngest
member present.

Garbed in the traditional white
robe of the hewl of the family,
Magel recited t questions by
heart. He lost the use of his eyes
during the last year.
The combination of solemnity
and gaiety that marks the Seder
was much in evidence as Rabbi
David S. Bakst, religious direc-
tor of the home, conducted the
rites and Moe Kesner led in the
singing of traditional Pacsover
Songs.
Ira Sonnenblick, director of the
Home, and his wife, Mrs. Bakst,
members of the hoard of directors
and their families, and Herman
C. Margulies, assistant director,

El Al Line to Start

May 1, it was announced.
The run will be made twice
weekly by long-range Constella-

On this main expres route El

On its trans-Atlantic run El Al

service, with stop-over privileges

and his wife, were guests at the
Seder of which more than 130
residents partook.
The Home's large and modern
kitchen was specially prepared
for Passover and approved by the
rabbi. Despite the DSR strike all
but one of the workers showed up
for the second Seder to serve the
meal.
Accustomed to preparing or
conducting their own Seder at
home, it was an evident pleasure
to the residents to gather together
in the large dining hall to ob-
serve the holiday.
Flowers and wine were pre-
sented to the Home by various
families in the community.
So high did the gaiety run that
at the conclusion of the meal,
Magel, sloughing off his years,
danced about the hall guided by
a youngster of 65 years.
The Seder was typical of the
care which the Home, the finest
in the country, takes in keeping
uo the traditions so dear to the
eharts of the residents.—H. C.

CHESTER, PA.— (WNS)—Bc-
lief that American archaeologists
may have excavated the elabo-
rate palace of King Herod the
Great, king of the Jews from
37 to 4 B.C.E., was voiced here
by Dr. James B. Prichard, of the
American School of Oriental Re-
search, sponsor of the excavation
project. Prichard is professor at
Crozer Theological Seminary
here.
The palace was discovered near
Jericho, several miles from the
capital of Transjordan.
It was a rectangular structure,
measuring 284 by 152 feet . and
contained 36 rooms built around
a colonnaded open court. There
were elaborate baths—both hot
and cold—and mosaic floors of
artistic design.
Many coins pointing to Herod's
and A•chelaus' period—Archelaus
was Herod's son—were found in
the ruins.

Israel's Atomic
Arms Are Duds

LAKE SUCCESS—(WNS)—
Syria's chief delegate to the
United Nations, Faris el-
Khouri, is known for his sharp
tongue, but recently he made
a slip of tongue that set many
tongues a-wagging at the
United Nations.
During consideration by the
Security Council of Israel-
Syrian cross-complaints, the
Syrian stunned the conclave
with attributing "atomic"
weapons to the Israeli army.
The remark brought much
speculation, since this was the
first intimation that the young
state had been able to produce
a weapon challenging the
knowledge and wherewithal of
greater and richer powers.
When the sensation he

caused reached el-Khouri's
ears, he hastened to assure

that he meant to use the word
"automatic" instead of "atom-
ic." It was just a slip of
tongue, he said.
