THE JEWISH NEWS Israel Trip an Eye-Opener Isaacs Tells of New State's Needs, High Education Level By BERNARD ISAACS Superintendent, United Hebrew Schools Israel is passing through a period of severe crisis, the causes of which are many. Pointing to some of them, we enumerate: 1. Last year's drought. the first time in many years rain fell so scantily. 2. The economic boycott of the Arab countries. 3. The maintenance of an Army, Navy and Air Force. 4. Probably the most import- ant, the influx of ohm (new- comers). Over 200,000 newcomers were absorbed in Israel last year, and in spite of drastic limitations (e.g.—the order that young ohm be drafted for work in agricul- tural settlements), the number will not be much below 2. 00,000 again this year. The crisis is severe, but not critical. Food and essential commodities are rationed and are spread as far as possible over the entire population. Naturally, priorities are given to children, aged people, -the sick, men and women in uniorm, but there is no i:- criMina-tion otherwise. Each newcomer landing in !',.s_ael receives a ration card imme- diately entitling him to the .s a m e commodities as any Israeli. - 7 Friday, December 21, 1.951 coming up for Chanuka.hi Joseph Sprinzak Is ,Named Acting Israel President schools are established every- where—in kibbutz, and town, but JERUSALEM (JTA) — Joseph they are mainly for the olim 'to Sprinzak, Speaker of the Knes- further their knowledge of the set, will act as President of the Hebrew language.

Not knowing the language he misses the mirac- ulous achievements—he misses talking to the Israeli man in the street—and, as a result, misses the spirit that is Israel. The United Hebrew., Schools, an agency of the Jewish Welfare Federation,. is a system of schools designed to accommo- date all people—youngsters in its daily afternoon classes, ad- vanced students in its Midrasha, College of Jewish Studies, men and women in its special adult classes. Let us, using the link of edu- cation, connect ourselves more closely with Israel and thus be- come more conscious of our duty to our brethren builders in our infant country across the waters. Seeks New Life in U. S. Here to begin a new life and to locate her only living rela- tives, newcomer Alice Katz, 23, smiles happly as she arrives at the port of entry under the aus- pices of United Service for New Americans, ma- jor immigration and resettle- ment agency here for Jewish survivors. Miss Katz, Hungar- ian hair dresser, is a survivor of the dreaded Auschwitz con- centration camp Alice Katz Her parents and two brothers were killed during the war. Her father, Herman, had told her that his three brothers were living in the Unit- ed States, but she does not know their addresses. Miss Katz will be aided by the Location and Search Division of United Serv- ice, which receives its funds from the United Jewish Appeal. The economic burden is borne mostly by the housewife, whose unhappy chore is to stand in line, sometimes for hours, to re- ceive food for her family. Very often, after waiting for a consid- erable period, she is told, "that is all for today." What can we, as American Jews, do to help the loyal Israeli, who shares his morsel of bread willingly and who gives gen- uinely until it- really hurts? In my opinion there are two ways: first, financial assistance through the United Jewish Ap- peal, correlated in our own city through the Allied Jewish Cam- paign, and through the liberal purchase of bonds for Israel. Secondly, there is education— Jewish education. Many individuals who have relatives and friends in Israel are sending packages or food certificates. This, in itself, is a good—a great—deed.
