Rubiner stated "we all want him to know that we wish him personal health and strength and that we wish him and his colleagues continued success in the heroic tasks of construction and reconstruction which are making the land of Israel a strong and self-sufficient na- tion." Speaking of his trip to Israel, Rubiner continued, "With -my own eyes I have seen a new day and a bright civilizing light emerging in Israel. Let us catch the spirit of that new day and help keep alive the light of free- dom and independence, which we as Americans hold so dear to our hearts. Let us keep alive the light of culture and religion and social justice, the great principles that are held in com- mon by all of us, as Jews and as Americans." As president of The Jewish Welfare Federation, Rubiner said, "I join with Mr. Osnos and you other leaders of the Bond campaign, to voice my plea for the investment program that makes these bonds possible." Max Osnos, chairman of the Detroit Israel bond drive, who presided, reported that bonds in the amount of $2,520,000 were sold thus far—$1,435,000 having been remitted in cash.
