Night of Prayer Zionists Protest Size
Here-on Sept. 6
Future
Jewish
State
Of
For Zion's Fate

Stirred to action by the indescribable
horrors facing Jewish survivors in Europe
and by the indifference with which Great
Britain and the world powers treat the
hundreds of thousands of Jews who are
clamoring for the right to enter Palestine,
the Vaad Harabanim — the Council of
Orthodox Rabbis of Detroit—and presi-
dents and other officers of local syna-
gogues have resolved to declare a Night
of Prayer and Intercession.
Choosing Saturday night, Sept. 6—the
first Selichot night—for this purpose, the
rabbis and the religious lay leaders in co-
operation with the Zionist Council plan to
devote an hour preceding repentance ser-
vices to addresses by outstanding leaders.
All orthodox and conservative syna-
gogues are participating and have issued
a call to worshippers to be in their seats
in their synagogues at 10 p. m. Saturday.
Temple Israel will observe this special
night of prayer Friday, Sept. 5.

ZURICH, Switzerland. (JTA) — The
World Zionist Executive adopted a resolu-
tion in which it "notes with satisfaction" the
UNSCOP majority report recommending the
establishment of a Jewish State. The resolu-
tion, which was approved by the Actions
Committee, points out, however, that the
proposed Jewish State contains only a frac-
tion of the territory promised the Jewish
people and does not include certain areas of
importance.
"The Executive will, after further study,
present the view of the Jewish Agency at the
forthcoming General Assembly," the resolu-
tion continues. "The definite attitude of. the
Jewish people will be determined after the
Assembly makes its decisions."
The resolution flatly rejects the minority
proposal for a federal state, declaring that it
would convert Palestine into an Arab state
with a Jewish minority.

Fritz Bernstein of Aliyah Hadasha and
Moshe Sneh, General Zionist, dissented from
the resolution, stating that it would be better
to maintain silence until further develop-
Inents. Hashomer Hatzair and Achduth Avo-
dah are preparing an opposition resolution
proposing a united free Palestine after a tran-
sition period under a UN trusteeship.
With the Actions Committee sessions set
to end on Wednesday, many Americans left
on Tuesday and others on Wednesday to
catch the Queen Mary. Dr. Emanuel Neu-
mann and Daniel Frisch are remaining to
await further developments.
The political commission voted to author-
ize the Executive to expand the Jewish
Agency by taking steps to convene the Coun-
cil of the Agency which includes non-
Zionists.

Dove of Peace...Bring Us Help!

As Jews all over the world prepare to usher in the year
5708, SOS calls from the poorest of the poor, the displaced and
homeless Jews in Europe, reach every corner of the earth. By
letter and by pictures they tell their unbelievable story—two
years after the war's end. In the midst of ruin, the Statue of
Liberty is their indestructible ray of hope, and .their prayers,
as symbolized in the accompnying pictures, are that American
Jewry will extend a helping hand to them during the High
Holidays for the United Jewish Appeal for the relief programs
of the Joint Distribution Committee, United Palestine Appeal
and the United Service for New Americans. The pictorial
pleas on this page were drawn by Jewish DPs in Europe for
the UJA's "Ten Days of Repentance" appeals.
