Women's Share in Israel's Creation
Described by Miss Zabari of Knesset;
Fashion Show Nets $150,000 for Bonds

Miss Rachel Zabari, one of the
12 women members of the Is-
rael Knesset, in an address to
leaders in the Women's Division
of the Israel Bond Organization,
Tuesday, at Masonic Temple,
described woman's role in the
building of the Jewish state.
Although outnumbered by
men in the Knesset, Miss Zabari
commented, and although the
women do the least amount of
speech-making, they are always
the pioneers in constructive ef-
forts. Women work in the fields,
assist in road-building, never
tire of even the hardest tasks.
In Tel Aviv, she said, there
are homes that were built en-
tirely by women. As a result of

women's efforts in the field of
infant welfare, infant mortality
in Israel has been reduced 29
per thousand.
Miss Dorothy Sarnoff, star of
"The King and I," included "The
Hora" among the songs she sang
at the bruncheon which preced-
ed the fashion show. Mrs. Theo-
dore Bargman, chairman of the
Women's Division of the bond
organization, presided.
It was reported that $150,000
worth of Israel bonds were pur-
chased or sold by those attend-
ing the fashion show.
Citations, expressing apprecia-
tion for their assistance in the
bond drive, were given at the
fashion show to the representa-
tives of Detroit's newspapers.

NEW YORK, (JTA) — There
have been changes among the
Jews living in the ancient city
of Bokhara as a result of the
Soviet regime but "perhaps not
of the quality and quantity that
might be imagined," it was re-
ported by the New York Times
in a dispatch from Bokhara.
The Times correspondent in
Moscow, Harrison E. Salisbury,
who is currently visiting Soviet
Central Asia, writes: "Bokhara's
Jews are still practicing their re-
ligion in their ancient way. They
are studying their Talmud. They
are still living on the same
streets and in the same quarter.
"If there are major changes
affecting the Bokhara Jews,
they relate to the professions
and to the youth. Under the
Soviet regime there has been a
