Sukkot Celebration on Mt. Zion Offers 13-Year-Old Synagogue
In New Quarters
Prayers for '70 Nations' of the World Cong. Dovid Ben No chu m,
From historic Mt. Zion, in the formed to prepare programs for
State of Israel, this week will pilgrims and tourists, and on the
shine forth 70 lights to illumin-
ate the sky. The practice is tra-
ditional during Sukkot to convey
the message of Israel's concern
for the peace and welfare of the
"seventy" nations of the world.
This message, as was written
before the destruction of the
Temple in Jerusalem, also is
carried out on Mt. Zion with the
offering of 70 sacrifices on the
altar of the Sanctuary.
The ceremony during Sukkot
is known as World Peace Day,
and is only one of the many cus-
toms to be carried out on Mt.
Zion by the Ministry for Reli-
gious Affairs, in Israel.
Many other programs are offer-
ed throughout the year, and only
last week Mt. Zion was crowded
with Israelis and tourists who
flocked there in pilgrimage to
observe the High Holy Days.
Mt. Zion, which according to
tradition, houses the tombs of
King David and his successors,
offers the best view of the Old
City with its Wailing Wall, the
last remnant of the holy Tem-
ple.

sabbath and festivals there pre-
vails a festive atmosphere of
songs, recitations, Torah talks and
folklore and Israel's finest fare.
On Yom Kippur, there is the
blessing of the children and the
prayers for the dead at the Vault
of Catastrophe; there is a Mother
Rachel's Day in honor of parents;
a Kaddish Day is marked with
special services for the dead and
is a tribute to the martyrs slain
by the Nazis.
Memorial Day for the burning
of sacred books by the Nazis, the
day of the Children's Massacre
and Ghetto Day are other occa-
sions which are replete with sig-
nificance and observance.
One of the programs developed
by the Mt. Zion Committee is the
Bar Mitzvah Twins project, which
was • planned to bring youth of
the Diaspora close to the youth
of Israel.
.
When a boy in Israel enters
his twelfth year, he begins cor-
respondence with a boy in the
Diaspora whose Bar Mitzvah
sabbath coincides. Through let-
ters they become acquainted,
the height of the friendship
coming with the actual Bar
Mitzvah.
According to Dr. S. Z. Cahana,
custodian of the committee, there
have been several instances when
a boy and his parents have come
from abroad to celebrate the Bar
Mitzvah on Mt. Zion together
with the Israel "twin."
Rabbis, school principals and
synagOgue leaders have been re-
quested to send lists of prospec-
tive Bar Mitzvah boys so that
such correspondence may begin.

Rabbi Joshua Sperka was in-
strumental in obtaining the re-
lease of a Detroit convict who
had maintained his innocence
from the day he was imprisoned.
For the past 31 years in prison,
Norman (Yorkie) Sakoloff, 55,
had never had a visitor or letter
from the outside. His family had
disowned him.
After Gov. Williams recently
commuted his sentence, Rabbi
Sperka, state corrections depart-
ment chaplain, said that he had
a job and a home waiting for
Sakoloff in Detroit.
Sakoloff w a s convicted in
Monroe County, whose court
records say that he was in a car
from which shots were fired that
killed a motorcycle officer. Sako-
loff claimed that he was intoxi-
cated in the back seat of the car
and didn't know what happened
until his arrest.
'Merchant' to Be Allowed
In Toronto Schools
NEW YORK, (JTA)—Nightly
performances of "The Merchant
of Venice" will be performed in
school auditoriums in Toronto
despite protests by a trustee of
the Board of Education, Mrs. Ed-
w a r d Ryerson, according to
Variety, show business trade
newspaper.
The Shakespearen play will
be performed by the Earl Grey
Players. Grey is director of
drama productions for the Cana-
dion Broadcasting Corporation.
Another trustee, Sidney Mid-
anik, while stating that he did
not approve of the play and that
he thought it was in "bad taste,"
nevertheless said that he did not
believe that the Board should
act as censorship group.
•C. D. Goldring, the Board's
director, explained that the
choice of plays is entirely up
to Grey, that there is no com-
pulsion upon students - to attend
performances of the Shaktis-
peare play, which are presented
in the evening, and concluded by
saying, "There is no point in
discussing with any producer
what play he should produce."
