Appeal for Trees
In Revel Forest
Selichoth Service Will Be
Devoted to Appeal for
Memorial Tribute
The Chief Rabbinate of Eretz
Israel, Rabbi Dr. Isaac Halevi
Herzog and Rabbi Ben-Zion Meir
Chai Uziel, have recently issued
-a-proclamation which calls upon
American Jewry • to remember
the great mitzvah of Geulath
Haaretz in the present critical
hour for Palestine and for the
entire Jewish people.
It has been a traditional cus-
tom in the synagogues of Amer-
ica to devote the first Selichoth
night (which this year is Sept.
5), to the Jewish National Fund.
The Rabbinate th r o ugh o u t
America have decided that this
year the first Selichoth night
should be devoted to appeals for
the planting of trees in the Re-
vel Forest dedicated to the me-
mory of that guiding genius of
the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theo-
logical Seminary and founder of
Yeshiva College, Rabbi Dr. Ber-
nard Revel. This new project of
the Jewish National Fund is un-
der the auspices of the Religi-
ous Groups Contact Department
of the Jewish National Fund.
