The Week's Best Stories

A Story About Heifetz •

While in Europe, world-famous
violinist Mischa Elman was in-
trocruced one evening to an el-
derly viscountess.
"Oh, I'm so happy to meet
you," she explained. "The last
time I saw you, you were just
a curly haired boy of 10 in a
Prince Albert suit."
"That must have been very
long ago," commented the vio-
linist. "My son is older than
that.'
"Is that so?" she said politely.
"And does he play the violin,
too?"
"A little," replied Elman.
"How nice!" cried the vis-
countess. "Maybe some day he'll
become another Heifetz!"

head' of the synagogue committee
of Detroit Mizrachi, in prepara-
tion for the annual banquet,
which will be held in the social
hall of Shaarey Zedek next Sun-
day evening.
This annual event will be util-
ized to promote the current drive
to secure new members.
Mr. Edelman is taking, an active
part • in the membership drive
and is addressing appeals for
Mizrachi in local synagogues.
Pointing out that" Mizrachi is not
an exclusive club, he appeals in
behalf of the religious Zionist
movement in the term given the
cause by Dr. Chaim Weizmann
—"a fortified Zionism."
"Mizrachi stands -on the claims
of abstract to title to Palestine
by virtue of the warranty deed
issued on authority of the Most
High, as set forth in the Bible,"
Mr. Edelman stated.
Calling for strong effort to
fight against the White Paper,
Mr. Edelman urged mobilization
of forces for practical work in
Palestine. He declared in his
membership appeal: "The Miz-
rachi program stresses religion
because the extent of our loyalty
to our traditions and our stead-
fast faith in God enables us to
'integrate ourselves with the Di-
vine process of Liberation from
the Galuth. If we fail our people,
we fail our faith, For this reason
the Prophet Isaiah declared
`Zion shall be redeemed through
justice and her converts thr6ugh
righteousness' and the Prophet
uses the Hebrew term "Zedakah,"
commonly accepted as meaning
`charity,' but the true meaning of
which is 'righteousness.' Let us
be true . to the principles and
ideals of our Prophets and we
shall surely have Zion."
