Hotel Statler mentioned how he
had finally fulfilled a wish of
his grandmother's when he ap-
peared recently for the United
Jewish Appeal in a one-man
show at Carnegie Hall. . . She
used to have an employment
agency in New York, with un-
employed girls sleeping in the
two-room basement apartment
. . . and would continually tell
Eddie to "gei shpiel" in the hall.
. . . "How proud she would be if
she knew that I finally obeyed
her and did play in the hall."

they go in the water up to their

MASONIC AUDITORIUM
NEW YORK—(JTA)—Ameri-
can Jews must continue to de-
pend on their own resources for
their religious life, and cannot
lean for guidance on religious
institutions in Israel, says a re-
port to 460 members of the
Rabbinical Assembly of America
submitted by a four-Member
mission to - Israel which com-
pleted its studies last fall.
The report says that "religion
in Israel is opposed by powerful
secularist forces dominant in
the nation's culture and life." In
the present Israel culture, the
mission reported, forms of tra-
ditional Judaism are often re-
tained but only after being re-
interpreted into humanistic
terms, while the values of na-
tionalism tend to displace those
of religion.
Members of the mission—who
visited every settlement in Israel
from Dan to Beersheba last
summer conferring with leaders
in government, religion and
education—were led by Rabbi
Ben Zion Bokser of New York.
Other members were Rabbis
Maxwell Farber, Philadelphia;
Rabbi Ralph Simon, Chicago;
and Rabbi Sanders Tofield,
Jacksonville, Fla.
The mission report says that
religious spokesmen in Israel
tend to seek political power as
a means of bolstering religion's
cause in the new state. Through
political action, they have won
important concessions for reli-
gion, such as the fact that civil
marriage has been declared il-
legal and only a religious mar-
riage is valid.
The state contributes one-
third of the budget of local re-
ligious communities. A separate
religious school system exists
for parents who desire that type
of education for their children.
Religious units have been es-
tablished in the armed forces of
the country. Religious courts
have sole jurisdiction to deal
With such matters as divorce
and inheritance.
The mission's report warned,
however, that dependence on
political organization may have
deterimental consequences for

field from Jerusalem, in the
New York Post.
A definite shortage of mar-
riageable women, from 20 to 45, is
evident in the young state, he
reports. The Israel government's
bureau of statistics has declared
that there are 100 men to every
83 women in the 20-45 age group.
Among new immigrants, 15 to 45,
there are only 82 females to 100
males.
This is in sharp contrast to
the western world's average of
102 women to 100 men.
The shortage is particulary
evident in the settlements. One

the cause of religion in Israel.
The mission saw the cause of
religion strengthened as a re-
sult of the Israel immigration
trend. The many thousands of
new immigrants coming from
Oriental countries are deeply
religious people. Special tribute
was also paid Hapoel Hamiz-
rachi, religious labor movement,
for contributing much to the
reinstatement of religion in
Israel's culture.
Also noticed were indications
of a revolt against secularism
among the nation's younger in-
tellectuals. The creation of the
state, by fulfilling the ideal of
Zionism, has left a certain void
in Israel culture which will stim-
ulate new concern for the more
universal values of Jewish reli-
gion, the report said.
