To a Teacher in Israel: Dr. .Abraham M. fiershinan On Reaching Seventy May 25, 1950 By ABRAHAM CAPLAN THE JEWISH NEWS-23 Friday, May 26, 1950 Knesset Votes Supreme Joint Immigration Body 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"!

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. 17TH ANNUAL CONCERT DETROIT WORKMEN'S CIRCLE CHORUS 100 Singers — Program Dedicated to Israel DAN FROHMAN, DIRECTOR MARY SIMMONS, SOPRANO GUEST ARTIST SUNDAY, JUNE 4th, 8:30 P.

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. irecIii on Lake Michigan, 500 feet of private beach on the PREMISES .- Picturesque Picturesque - Spacious Grounds - All Vacation Activities - Pro . fessional Entertainment - Dancing Nitely - 130 Modern Airy Rooms - Private Baths - Delicious .
