He memorialized the hundreds
of thousands of Zionists who,
with their leaders, have fallen
in Nazi Europe, but he stressed
the fact that the Zionist move-
ment emerged with enhanced
•moral prestige wherever Jewish
remnants have survived.

New Zionist Centers

-

Nineteen European countries
have been entirely wiped off the
Zionist map as a result of the
extermination of the Jewish com-
munities, he said, but at the same
time new Zionist centers have
been created in various countries,
namely, Latin America and Af-
rica. Dr. Lauterbach recalled
that Zionist emissaries risked
their lives penetrating into Nazi-
held countries during the war.
Dr. Emile Schmorak, in a bud-
getary address, stressed the need
for a fresh impetus for Zionist
activities in all countries, in view
of the new conditions created.
Dr. Ben Shalom reported on
the activities of the Youth Af-

'The Wisdom of Israel'

Browne's New Book
A Great Anthology

There has been a comparative-
. ly long recess since the publica-
tion of the last_ book by Lewis
Browne. But we are compen-
sated for the long wait by his
latest work—"The Wisdom of
Israel"—which he edited for
publicatiori by Random House.
It is a truly great work which
deserves to be hailed as one of
the finest anthologies of our
time. Announced by the pub-
lishers as - a companion volume
to Lin Yutang's "The Wisdom
of China and India," which al-
ready has sold 60,000 copies, we
will be amazed if Mr. Browne's
great collection is not rated
among the very best sellers.

The choice of material for this
work reflects the wisdom of the
author who is steeped in the
knowledge of his people's crea-
tions.
It is natural that he should
have begun with the Old Testa-
ment; and it is to his credit that
he selected also the choicest por-
tions of the New Testament for
his anthology.
"Betweeri the Testaments"
contain choice bits from the
works of Jesus ben Sirach, Say-
ings of the Fathers, the wisdom
of Hillel, the admonitions of
Philo, the confessions of Jose-
phus, etc.
Excerpts from the Talmudic
period, wisdom of the Mishna,
Gemara and Midrash, follow as
a natural sequence. Then comes
the part which the author calls
"Medieval Noon," dealing with
the works of Saadia, Hanaleel
Ibn Gabirol, Bahya, Judah Ha-
Levi, Tibbonides, Al-Harizi,
Maimonides, and selections from
"The Book of Delight."
• * *
Thus down the line, dealing
with the medieval and _modern
periods, the best works by Jews
are included in this fascinating
volume.
"The Wisdom of Israel" es-
pecially is enhanced because' Mr.

The session of the Smaller Ac-

reports were submitted opened
with a eulogy of Eliahu Golomb
by Isaac Ben Zvi, president of
the Vaad Leumi. The budget was
based on the income from the
shekel, which identifies the buy-
er with the program of the
World Zionist movement, and on
grants from the Jewish Agency
and the National Funds. The
total income, $308,000, was en-
tirely devoted to organizational
activities.
