Israel Claims Right to Jews
Seeking to Emigrate from Russia

NEW YORK, (JTA) = The
problem of securing emigration
of Jews from the Soviet Union
to Israel is a cartlinal point in
the policy of the Israel govern-
ment, Foreign Minister Moshe
Sharett declared, addressing the
convention of t h e American
Zionist Labor Organization. The
convention elected Rabbi James
Heller of Cincinnati national
president of the organization.
Declaring that the efforts on
the part of the
Israel govern-
ment to induce
Moscow to allow
Soviet Jews to
leave for Israel
may require
time, Sharett
asserted that
the Jews are the
only national
minority in the
Soviet "Union
whose problems
have not been
Dr. Heller
solved territori-
ally within the frame of the
Soviet regime as was the case
with other minorities.
Estimating that Israel will be
able to absorb 4,000,000 Jews
within the next 10 to 15 years,
Sharett said that of the 10,000,-
000 Jews now living in various
countries of the world. about
6,000,000 reside in the Western
Hemisphere. The question is
whether the Western Jewish
communities will not have to be
tapped for increasing the num-
ber of Jews in Israel which now
number about 1,500,000. he said.
The Israel Foreign Minister,
who during his present stay in

the United States visited many
large and small Jewish com-
munities, emphasized that the
misery which has driven Jews
from other countries to emi-
grate to Palestine before and
after the war does not exist
among Jews in the United
States. Nor is there any basis
to predict that American Jews
will-A*.-driven to emigrate to
Israel by oppression as was the
case with Jews in other coun-

tries, the Israeli statesman de-
clared.
Stating that he was happy to
establish that what happened
to Jews in Europe cannot hap-
pen to the Jews in the United
States, Sharett at the same
time emphasized that his trip
throughout the United States
has convinced him that. Ameri-
can Jewry, in its great majority,
is greatly interested in helping
Israel in all possible ways.
The question to what extent
American Jewish youth and in-
telligensia will go to Israel to
strengthen the country is. there-
fore, a challenge to the Ameri-
can Zionist movement, he said.
In a message of greetings to
the convention, Premier David
Ben-Gurion similarly appealed
for American Jewish youth and
intelligensia and expressed hope
that American Jews will under-
stand the need to comply with
his appeal.
The convention was addressed
also by S. Shazax, former Israel
Minister of Education; Eliahu
Dobkin, member of the Jewish
Agency executive in Jerusalem;
Dr. Hayim Greenberg, member
of ate Jewish Agency executive
in New York; Melech Neu, Ma-
pai leader in Israel, and others.

gratitude of our people for the
line of consistent support ex-
tended by the President and the
United States."

to the President that Israel will
have an opportunity to justify
his confidence. The conversation
centered on the future of dem-
ocracy in the Near East and the
improvement of standards of
living in that area. The Presi-
dent - expressed hope for peace
in the area and for the consoli-
dation of the forces of demo-
cracy.

Truman that it would give Is-
rael "immense pleasure" to wel-
come him to .Israel as a guest
of the state. Mr. Sharett was
accompanied by Israel Ambas-
sador Abba Eban.

At this time of the year, when
everyone wants to play hookey
. from work and take a vacation,
' we may recall the story of Rabbi
Eliezer ben Israel, the great Baal
Shem Tov of the Hassidim.
As a child, we are told, he
liked to play hookey from Heder
and retire to the woods. He was
in love with Nature and he
brought the freedom of the open
space back into the synagogue.
The fields were h i s Hebrew
school and the trees taught him
the Talmud.
Books have their use, but he
said that some people studied
the Torah so much, they over-
looked God. It was like a paint-
er who copied photographs, in-
stead of painting directly from
models.
He was an . anomaly, as a
young man.- A young fellow
loafing in the woods. instead
of bending over the sacred fol-
ios. A young man who was con-
tent to take the most demanding
positions, to dig lime for a liv-
ing. to serve as a janitor. to
tend bar. Where was his ambi-
tion? Yet the discriminating
could recognize his unusual
quality.
A leader of the community,
impressed by his c h a r a c t e r,
pledged the young m a n his
daughter as a bride. Shortly
after, the man died. But Eliezer
ben Israel visited the home of
the young woman. Her brother
opening the door, taking him for
a beggar, put a coin in his
hands.
"I qon't want that," he said.
"I want your sister."
The brother was horrified that
this tramp should think of
marrying her. but the sister
looked at Eliezer and took his
hand and went with him.
In the woods. he had gotten
to know a great deal about herbs
and he would prescribe herb me-
dicines for sick people. But he
soon found that he could also
heal people without herbs, with
words; that he could heal with
ideas and thoughts dropped. not
in the mouths, but in the minds
of people.
He recognized that most sick-
nesses, are. as we say today,
psychosomatic, that most people
are first sick in their philoso-
phies of life.

The story is told of Dr;
Krantz. the only Reform
rabbi in the city of Odessa,
that when he established his
home there, he placed a sign
in front of his house. reading
simply: Dr. Krantz.
An old Jewish woman who
had tried all the physicians in
the vicinity for her rich as-
sortment of ailments decided
to try the new doctor. So she
went in to see him.
"I am sorry." said the Re-
form rabbi. "I am not a med-
ical doctor. I am a doctor of
philosophy. -
"Philosophy!" said the old
lady. "what kind of sickness
is that?" -
Philosophy can be a sick-
ness, but it can also be a
medicine and healing.

The Baal Shem Tov believed
that religious concepts which
emphasized gloom were wrong.
