U.S. Zionists Vow
Aid for Transfer
Of North Africans

NEW YORK, (JTA)—Leaders
of all branches of American
Zionism pledged increased as-
sistance of their combined mem-
berships to the rescue of threat-
ened North A f r i c a n Jewry
through immigration to Israel
and, at the same time, called for
the reinforcement of the Zionist
movement as a b u 1 w ark '.of
strength for Israel and the cul-
tural survival of Jewry every-
•where.
The Zionist leaders ; who re-
cently returned from the Jeru-
salem sessions of the World Zi-
onist Actions Committee, the
supreme body of the World Zi-
onist Organization, spoke at a
public rally at the Hotel Com-
modore, convened by . the Amer-
ican Zionist Council.
Reporting that the plight of
North African Jewry was the
major item on the agenda of the
Jerusalem sessions, Mrs. Rose
Halprin, acting chairman of the
Jewish Agency, revealed that the
number of Jews from Morocco
scheduled to emigrate to Israel
this year under Jewish Agency
auspices is 36,000, double the
number that entered the country
last year.
The total from North Africa
this year will be 45,000, of whom
10,000 will be transferred in the
next two months.
Mrs. Halprin also touched on
the plans for the reorganization
of the World Zionist movement
proposed by Dr. Nahum Gold-
mann, Jewish Agency chairman,
at the Jerusalem sessions..
Dr. Goldmann urged the in-
clusion of non-Zionists in the
Jewish Agency executive, which
is the supreme body of all world
Jewry dealing with problems of
immigrant absorption in Israel.
He also proposed the establish-
ment of Zionist territorial unions
or federations to which mem-
bers will affiliate directly, while
retaining the right to affiliate
witihin the federation to the
various Zionist parties if they
so choose.
Dr. Emanuel Neumann, mem-
ber of the Jewish Agency exec-
-utive, appealed to Zionists of
America "to ensure an additional
sum of $25,000,000 in the coming
months, over and above the nor-
mal contribution of the commu
nity to the United Jewish Ap
peal" in order to help the re-
settlement of North African Jews
in Israel.
He said that the Zionist Ac-
tions Committee has a new and
heavy obligation which . we ac-
cept." It is a challenge, he de-
clared, to the devotion of Amer-
ican Zionists, their sense of
responsibility and their Zionist
discipline. Every American Zion-
ist is "honor bound" to meet
this challenge, he emphasized.
Rabbi Irving Miller, chairman
of the American Zionist Council,
reported that the Actions Corn-
mittee decided to convene the
forthcoming World Zionist Con-
gress in Jerusalem in July, 1956.
"This Congress, the first to be
held since 1951, will determine
the targets for the World Zionist
movement for years to come. It
poses a great challenge to Zion-
ists everywhere, but particularly
to those in the United States,
t 0 revitalize t h e movement,
strengthen their partnership with
Israel and re-invigorate 'Jewish
life throughout the world," Rab-
bi Miller declared.
Other speakers included Louis
Segal, general secretary of the
Farband - Labor Zionist Order;
R a b b i Mordecai Kirshbluin,
chairman of the Mizrachi Organ-
ization of America; and Dr. Jo-
seph B. Schechtman, chairman of
the World Party Council, Revis-
ionists-Herut World Union,

the week.
A message from Israel Finance
Minister Levi Eshkol to the Israel
Bond Organization in this coun-
try declared this weekend: "The
people of Israel rejoice today in
the knowledge that oil has been
struck in the Northern Negev.
You, too, have a share in this
historic discovery. The Meko-
roth Water Company is one of
the major partners in the oil
companies which made the find.
Mekoroth, as you know, has re-
ceived millions of dollars of De-
velopment Budget revenue de-
rived from State of Israel Bonds."
He called for further bond sales
"so that Israel's chain of eco-
nomic successes may continue in
the face of increased emergency
immigration and despite the
blockade of our neighbors."
Abraham Feinberg, president of
the Israel Bond Organization, said
"American investors in Israel
Bonds have played a key role
in financing the work of Meko-
roth, which in turn has made
possible these oil explorations.
Since the inception of the Israel
bond drive in 1951, a total of
$28,181,000 in Israel bond funds
was invested in Mekoroth up to
March 31 of this year."
Feinberg also pointed out that
bond .funds provide more than
one-third of the capital for the
development budget. The or-
ganization announced today that
seven New York Jewish leaders
have been named chairmen of a
special Greater New York drive
to raise $10,000,000 through the
sale of Israel bonds before the
end of this year. The drive will
start with a dinner in honor of
Israel Ambassador Abba Eban an
Oct. 13 at the Waldorf-Astoria.

Sukkot Festival: .
Happiest Holiday

By RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX

(Copyright, 1955, Jewish Telegraphic
Agency, Inc.)

Sukkot is considered the hap-
piest of all the major Jewish
holidays.
The famous Maharil was once
asked why the - liturgy for the
Sukkot holiday calls the festi-
val the "day of your rejoicing," a
title that is not given to the other
festivals. The Maharil answered
that there was more rejoicing
on the Sukkot holiday. For one
thing four candlabra were lit
which spread enough light to
brighten the entire city of Jerusa-
lem. Secondly, it was the season
of the fall harvest and people
were happy after having gathered
a good harvest.
Also, it was the first festival
after the Day of Atonement. On
the Day of Atonement a serious
mood held sway. After Yom Kip-
pur the people fell into a relaxed
mood feeling that their sins had
been forgiven. Furthermore, his-
torically it was an Yom Kippur
Day that Moses came down from
his second trip atop Sinai, an-
nouncing that all had been for-
given for the sin of the Golden
Calf. Sukkot was also the occa-
sion of the water festival, of
"Simchat Beth Hashoava" of
which the Talmud says that "one
who had not seen the festivity
of this occasion, had not seen
real festivity in his day."
Are esrog and lulav waved
in all four directions as well
as up and down during the serv-
ices in the synagogue during
Sukkot?
The Talmud (Babli, Succah
371b) makes two statements con-
cerning this gesture. One is that
the esrog and lulav are waved
in the four directions to indicate
that all four directions and their
limits belong to the Almighty.
Waving them up and down indi-
cates that both the heaven above
and the earth beneath belong to
the Almighty. This was a means
of displaying the omnipotence of
the Almighty. During the season
of harvest it was indeed wise
for man to remind himself that
all that is belongs to God, and
that which he has reaped is but
what the Lord has given him.
The other statement in the Tal-
mud claims that they are waved
in the four directions to keep
away the evil winds.

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Track-
ers accompanied by Israel, Leb-
anese and United Nations officers
have ' established that the Arab
raider gang which last Thursday
night ambushed a bus in north-
ern Israel, killing three persons
and wounding nine others, came
from across the Lebanese border,
an Israel Foreign Min i s t r y
spokesman revealed here.
Earlier, a Lebanese a r m 3r
spokesman had promised to pur-
sue and punish the terrorists if
evidence showed that they came
from his country.
The Israel spokesman noted
that the tracks of the ambushers
led from near Meron, west of
Safad, to a point on the Lebanese
border seven miles away. The
tracks of three of the raiders
were identical to those of mem-
bers of a marauding party which
two weeks ago blasted three
structures in the Israel settle-
ment of Alma, in Upper Galilee.
The tracks led to a Lebanese
village called Meiron er Ras.
Among the dead in the bus
was Herman Brach, 28, an Amer-
ican rabbinical student who was
scheduled to be married this
week. Among the wounded was
Miss Rosika Berkowitz, 26, of
Montreal.
The bus, on the regular Safad-
Haifa run, was ambushed while
going uphill. The first burst of
fire ripped through the wind-
shield and wounded the driver,
who managed to stop the bus
before it ran off the road.
United Nations truce chief
Maj. Gen. E. L. M. Burns issued
a communique in which he- de-
plored the terrorist crime calling
in "cowardly and criminal." His
communique continued: "The in-
cident has taken place only a
very few days after Israel and
Lebanese authorities declared in
a meeting . of the Israeli-Leban-
ese Mixed Armistice Commission
their intention to continue im-
plementing fully the general
armistice argeement and, in par-
ticular, to search for and liquid-
ate all :terrorist organizations
within their territories."
T h e Foreign Ministry w a s
greatly disturbed by the Burns
communique since it felt that
he added insult to injury by giv-
ing the impression that Israel is
also engaged in terrorist activi-
ties, also attacking Arab buses.
It was even more galling to Je-
rusalem that UN truce organi-
zation, which had never expressed
regret when Jews were killed
by Arab terrorists, had now in
its first statement of that nature,
used language that seemed to
place Isfael, on the same level
with the Arabs in the perpetra-
tion of such crimes.

Rep. Walter Discuses
Emigration of Jews
From Afrim with Eban

WASHINGTON, (JTA) — Rep.
Francis E. Walter, chairman of
the House Immigration - Subcom-
mittee, discussed a project for
the movement of North African
Jews to Israel at length with
Ambassador Abba Eban.
Rep. Walter sailed from New
York for Israel where he will be
a guest of the Israel government.
He indicated that the evacuation
of 75,000 Jews from North Africa
to Israel, via the machinery of the
Intergovernmental Committee for
European Migration, is a target
of his plan. The plan is to move
approximately one-third of the
Jewish population of strife-torn
Morocco to Israel in the next two
years. Rep. Walter is expected to
report on his project in Geneva
at an ICEM meeting in October
after he completes his visit to
Israel.
