Hebrew U. Students See Terrorists
As Negative Blot on Palestine Scene

Impressions of Palestine at a
crucial hour are contained in a
letter received recently from
Rabbi and Mrs. Jay Kauf-
man, who are now taking post-
graduate work at the Hebrew
University in Jerusalem. Rabbi
Kaufman, a graduate of Hebrew
Union College, served as summer
rabbi at Temple Beth El. His
wife, the former Aviva Gootman,
was junior activities director at
the Jewish Community Center.
"It is a bit depressing to have
to begin our Rosh Hashana letter
from Palestine with the mention
or terror," they write. "Yet even
in a letter it is impossible to
ignore it and its consequences.
Like a black cloud across the
sun, it casts a dark shadow
across every aspect of our lives
here, shading much that is bright
and warm .. .

we went to the Wailing Wall, the
last remnant of Solomon's Tem-
ple. Every time we face those
tear-drenched rocks a soft feel-
ing of reverence and awe creeps
over us. We have been there
many times, to pray on the Sab-
bath and to make the Passover
pilgrimage, but never have we'
seen the likes of the scene that
met us that day. The court be-
fore the wall was a solid carpet
of Jews, swaying slowly from
side to side, praying witih a soft,,
imploring fervor. They werel
speaking with God, face to face,
and we couldn't help but feel that
on this day He had come down to
listen . . .

"The boys who are in the two
terrorist bands . . do not love
Palestine less, they, love it more,
enough to give their lives for its
freedom . . . Their hope is to get
rid of England . .. The terrorist
groups are not naive enough to
•believe their feeble power is
enough to dislodge the mighty
British lion, but they hope, by
opposing England, they will gain
allies who would like to see Eng-
land out of here.

That's what Jim said after the first meal on our new
electric range. And he's right. Postwar electric
ranges are a vast improvement over older models.
Ovens are better insulated. Heating units are more
efficient. That means even faster cooking ... lower cost.

You save extra time, too, with the automatic control
that starts and stops your range by itself. Why, you
can go shopping all day and have supper ready to serve
when you return. And there's no heating up the
kitchen . . . no soot or smoke to bother about.

These easy-to-use electric ranges are
in stock right now at your local
dealers. Be sure to see them soon.
