Think it not strange that Jews greatly value knowledge
And rank the teachers first in distinction's rank.
For Moses. meekest of men though chief of prophets,
We found no better honor to call him 'our teacher',
A title which surely he would not have disdained.

When Elijah rallied the loyal remnant at Carmel's mount.,
When Amos denounced the sneering el ique at Beth-El,
When, in the streets of Jerusalem, restless with cupidity.
Isaiah the prince and Jeremiah of the anguished heart
Challenged their people to wax strong on righteousness;
Or when Ezekiel, near a former Tel Abib, infused the breath
Of latioyant life in men who likened themselves
Unto bones which lay strewn under the Sumerian sky--
These superb men proclaimed the truths of the Teaching.
Surely the rabbins who pondered over the Scriptures,
Deducing halachot—paths of equity and virtue,
Laid out roads on which men walk purposively
And not like beasts or winged things which leap ca. fly
Hither and thither by the sheer urgings of impulse.

Unto teaching, as the noblest of employments,
Jews paid homage other nations reserved for kings
And captains of armies and lusters for empire.
Woe unto us if we today do not reverence our scholar"!

Rabbinical Council
To Convene in Chicago

Rabbis from the United States
and Canada, members of the
Rabbinical Council of America,
will convene in Chicago during
the week of June 12 and come
to grips with the problems fac-
ing American Jewry today, it
was announced by the conven-
tion chairman, Rabbi Theodore
L. Adams of Jersey City, N. J.
The Rabbis will deal with
many-pronged problems, partic-
ularly those with regard to or-
ganized religious life and the
strengthening of traditional
Judaism. On t h e convention
planning committee are Rabbis
Israel I. Halpern of Detroit, and
Louis Kaufman, of Mt. Clemens.

According to an item in a
weekly magazine, over 40 per
cent of the teachers in the
United States have no college
degree, and 3.2 percent have
no college preparation.

Orthodox Woman Wins
Compensation Appeal

- An Orthodox Jewish woman
in New York has won her appeal
from a ruling which had denied
her unemployment compensa-
tion because she left a job rath-
er than work after sundown on
Fridays.
Involved was Miss. Adele
Scheimald, who had sought per-
mission from her employer to
leave work early Friday after-
noons because her religious con-
victions precluded travel or
work after sundown. When her
employer found it impossible to
comply, she resigned. Her appli-
cation for unemployment bene-
fits was then rejected because
she quit her job "without good
cause."
Miss Scheimald appealed the
case and Leo Pfeffer of the
American Jewish Congress, rep-
resented her as counsel at the
referee's hearing.

NEW YORK—Since last June
40,000 immigrants from Yemen
arrived in Israel. Almost all of
them were brought by plane
with funds provided through
the United Jewish Appeal, ac-
cording to a Tel Aviv dispatCh
received and made public by the
Keren Hayesod.i
The 300th plane from Yemen
arrived in Lydda Airport, Israel,
last month. The plane was de-
corated with flowers, a present
from a local Sultan who has
done much to help the immi-
grants.
Three settlements have been
established in the Negev, south-
ern part of Israel, by Egyptian
immigrants. The report states
that with bankers, doctors, law-
yers, teachers and businessmen
among its ranks, Egyptian Jewry
is providing a supply of well-
trained experienced personnel,
many of whom speak eight. or
nine languages fluently. Some of
the teachers are already at work
in Israel schools, while banks
have given employment to form-
er Egyptian bank officials.
