To Conclude Season
Old World Ceremony to Mark
Torah Presentation Sunday
New stories of the spirit of
Israel's citizens are always re-
freshing, .and Mr. and Mrs.
Walter Laib, of 850 Whitmore,
who returned earlier this month
from a three-month cruise to
Europe and Israel have a good
many tales to tell.
The Laths were in Israel at
the time of the Purim celebration,
the first in that country in 20
years. A program in Tel Aviv
blocked the regular approach
from Haifa to Jerusalem.
A couple who the Laibs were
with, however, were citizens of
Israel, and knew another road.
This, too, was blocked, and
guarded by a policeman. After
several minutes of arguing, the
policeman, learning of tourists
in the party finally let them
through.
Afterward, the Israeli said
that before the new state was
declared, such a verbal encoun-
ter with a policeman would have
been futile, and "he probably
would have spat in my eye."
The Laibs were impressed
with the-practice of democracy
in the Jewish state. Mrs. Laib
said that during their stay in
Tel Aviv, people were dancing
in the streets to the accompani-
ment of loud speakers. The poor
and the rich mingled together,
and nothing seemed to matter
except that it was Purim and all
were enjoying themselves.

as thefirst Jew in America, he
said, arrived here with a Torah,
which he considered his most
cherished possession.
The Torah is further given,
he said, so that his children and
his children's children and their
children will continue their
strong faith in Judaism—a faith
that has meant survival to the
Jewish people through 2,000
years of adversity.
