LOUIS LIEBLICH •
In synagogue life particularly
there has been a great inter-
change of worshippers between
the two communities, and a full
participation • by each in the syna-
gogue bodies in each community
have benefitted from a transfusion
of interest and participation by
members of the other.
• Nowhere is there a greater
,demOnstration of "oneness" be-
tween the two communities
than in their organized youth
activities. Scarcely an evening
passei at the Detroit Jewish
Community Center :without the
appearance, and active partici-
pation in activities, of a group
of Windsor youngsters. During
the past summer, . this partici-
pation has been better organ-
ized and more highly formal-
ized; there are now "Windsor
nights" with 'carefully planned
programs in the Detroit Center.
Conversely, Windsor's youth
activities invariably include a
large influx of young Detroiters.
The- large number of marriages
that have taken place in recent
years between the Jewish youth
of the two communities is a
natural outgrowth of these in-
tercommunity social and recre-
ational activities.
In many fields of the social
services, each coMmunityhaS
tendered service to, 'Other. to.
4 degree surely unparalleled.else-
where. For examPle, several dozen
Windsor youngsters-,liaye'received
an invaluable vocational Counsel'
ing service at Detroit's :Jewish
i Vocational Service.. Conversely, a
steady and . increasingly great
stream of DetroiterS and, for that
matter, persons from all over the
United States, have come to the
Windsor Jewish Community
Council for advice and assistance
in bringing to Canada their Euro-
pean relatives who are ineligible,
for one reason or another, for ad-
mittance to the united States.
During the year 5708, nearly 600
interviews were held. with De-
troiters and other Americans on
immigfation matters by the
Windsor Jewish ComMunity
Council.
Impressive indeed is the
working together of the Detroit
and Windsor Jewish Commun-
iity Councils. The huge inter-
change of visitors between the
two countries has brought to
the attention of each Com-
munity Council a number of
instances 'of need in the field
of community relations where
HAIFA (Palcor)—The world's
youngest international air line—
"Israel Air"—will soon inaugurate
regular service between Israel
and Europe, financed entirely by
Jewish capital and manned by
all-Jewish crews. "Israel Air"
plans to have flights daily, ex-
cept Saturday, with 26-passenger
Dakota transport planes carry-
ing a crew of five. Hand-picked
hostesses will serve Kosher
Meals to passengers. Pan-African
Air Ways, a Union of South
Africa firm which fostered the
Israeli venture, will aid the new
air line technically. Israeli planes
will fly 'under .PAA sponsorship
in countries which have not yet
recognized the Jewish State.
"Israel Air" pilots include
pioneers of Jewish civil aviation
and veterans of both world wars.
The man at the controls of the
line's first plane, a C-47, was
Kurt Xatzenstein, one of the
German Air Force's ace fighter
pilots in World War_ One who,
as an officer in Richtofen's "Fly-
ing Circus" taught Goering how
to fly. Katzenstein has 16,0 -00
flying hours to his credit.

Pardon for Sin
As is the custom among the
pious Jews, a Jew came to the
rabbi on the eve of Yom Kippur
to ask for prayers for forgive-
ness for a sin which he had' com-
mitted.
"What sin is it that you have
committed?" asked the rabbi.
"Well, you see, Rabbi, once I
ate without making a benedic-
tion."
"Why did you eat without first
reciting the benediction?" asked
the rabbi.
"Well, you see, Rabbi, it hap-
pened that I was eating pork."
"Eating pork!" exclaimed the
rabbi aghast "what was the idea
of eating pork?"
."Well," said the Jew, "you see
it was Yom Kippur, and all the
Jewish restaurants were closed."
