Church, Synagogue Under One Roof
Is Living Evidence of Brotherhood!
—American Jewish Press Photo
Dr. JESSE STITT and Rabbi SIDNEY STROME pose for an
American Jewish Press photographer as they celebrate the eve of
their third anniversary together under one roof. Dr. Stitt is pas-
tor of the Village Presbyterian Church in New York, which on
Jan. 16, 1949, allowed a Jewish congregation the use of its church
for services. The temporary pact worked out so well that Rabbi
Strome and his Village Temple worshippers now have permanent
occupancy in the building. The two clergymen exchange pulpits
frequently, have many mixed social and cultural groups and even
have a joint budget for their congregations. (The above are ex-
cerpts from a story printed in The New York Daily Mirror.)
Israel Offers Employment Supply Situation to Better
To U.S. Farmers, Truckers Israel's Lot Within Year
NEW YORK — A house and
homestead, at a moderate price,
in a fast growing rural area of
Israel where employment is as-
sured, is offered to Americans
skilled in the operation and
maintenance of agricultural and
automotive equipment, it was
announced by the Jewish Agency
for Palestine.
Moshe Lefebre, representative
of the-Union of Private Farmers
in Israel, declared the offer was
directed primarily to truck and
tractor drivers and mechanics
familiar with modern agricul-
tural machinery.
Such urgently needed techni-
cians are now being recruited by
the Aliyah Department for num-
erous middle class settlements of
Israel, the nature of which, he
explained, is a synthesis between
private enterprise and coopera-
tive farming.
Available to the technicians
in this community is a new
three-room house with a small
plot of land suitable for vege-
table gardening. The required
investment is about $4,000.
Available for farmers is the
house plus 61/2 acres of land
complete with livestock and
farming implements, requiring
an investment of about $8400.
Up to $2400 of this sum may be
had, if necessary, on a long term
loan from the Jewish Agency.
Terms of the investment may
vary according to circumstances.
Further information is obtain-
able from Mr. Moshe Lefebre in
care of the Jewish Agency, 16 E.
66th St., New York 21.
Eban Analyzes Tensions
NEW YORK, (JTA)—The situ-
ation in the Middle East and the
tensions prevailing there now,
are analyzed by Ambassador
Abba Eban of Israel in an article
in the current issue of Columbia
University's "Journal of Interna-
tional Affairs."
TEL AVIV, (JTA)—Prime Min-
ister DaVid Ben-Gurion told a
delegation of Histadrut leaders
that "the supply situation in
Israel is improving" and hard-
ships in the country will ease in
a year. The Premier cited agri-
cultural and industrial output as
the best way to overcome today's
serious shortages.
An official of the Jewish
Agency absorption department
said that only seven percent of
the country's new immigrants
had been absorbed into agricul-
ture during 1951 as compared
with 18 percent in 1950. The
Agency, he stated, is no longer
constructing tents to house new
immigrants, but wooden • huts.
All tents now in use will be re-
placed within a year by huts, he
added.
