Hebrew University Old for Its Years
American Friends Told of Cooperation
Between School and Israel Settlers
Twenty-five years ago there
was a house created on a hill
in Israel. It was a house ded-
icated to teaching young people
how they could become useful
citizens in a country that was
barren then, but destined to be-
come an oasis of culture and
democratic living in an other-
wise desolate area. The house
was the Hebrew University, the
hill,..Mt. Scopus.
• The Detroit Chapter of the
American Friends of the Hebrew
University, at a meeting held
last Thursday at Cong. Shaarey
Zedek, saw visual proof that the
University is accomplishing one
of its primary purposes—helping
Israel grow with a program
dedicated to research and learn-
ing.
In a' film, "The House on
the Hill," was shown the dra-
matic struggle of a geology
professor and his students, who
were commissioned to find
Water for a group of settlers in
the Negev. Through study of
the terrain, they found a
likely spot for. drilling. Then
came the wait for water,
which, when men's lives and a
Settlement were at stake, was
a slow, agonizing process. The
gratification of the settlement
was extended to the geology
professor when at last water
was reached, and the pioneers
assured of a safe home.
ing its latest threat of annihila-
tion.
While prevented from using
its beautiful new building's on
Mt. Scopus, pending a decision
by the United Nations on the
Jerusalem_ question, the Univer-
sity has had to rent 21 buildings
in the city including one from
the Franciscan Order, to con-
tinue its classes, Friedgut said.
"There are over 2,000 students
studying at the Hebrew Uni-
versity today," he said, "There
are men and women who im-
mediately after graduation. and
while they still attend school,
are pressed immediately into the
job of helping their country.
Universities, like Harvard, have
been in progress for centuries.
In Israel a 25-year-old institu-
tion is already performing a
vital function for the new
state," he added.
At the meeting, which was

Members of the Committee,
including Sen. Wayne Morse

charges, sparked by Ralph De

In an effort to raise emerg-
ency cash—to assist the nation-
al United Jewish Appeal and
the other causes supported
by the Allied Jewish Campaign
—the Jewish Welfare Federa-
tion sent a special appeal to all
contributors u r g i n g advance
payments to be credited toward
the 1951 campaign. Any pay-
ments made before Dec. 31 will
be deductible on 1950 income
taxes.
The United Jewish Appeal's
effort to raise $50,000,000 in cash
before the end of 1950 is aided
by many Detroit Jews who are
paying unpaid pledge balances.
To give immediate cash assist-
! ante to help meet the emerg-
ency situation a contribution
should be sent to the Federa-
tion, 250 W. Lafayette.
The small group of Detroit
Jews who did not contribute
to the 1950 Allied Jewish Cam-
paign were invited to make
gifts in another special message
announcing a Dec. 30 deadline
for the Jewish Welfare Federa-
tion Yearbook, which will list
all contributors to the drive.
