Mizrachi Convention Hears
Greeting's From Eisenhower

The 35th annual national con-
vention of the Mizrachi Organi-
zation of America heard a mes-
sage from President Eisenhower
extending greetings to the dele-
gates which emphasized that the
program of religious education
conducted by the Mizrachi or-
ganization "helps to hasten' the
day when human dignity and
wisdom and understanding,
preached by the. prophets of Is-
rael, will be respected through-
out the world."
The opening session in Atlan-
tic City was the scene of a mass
proyer for peace in the Middle
East, spiritual strength for Israel,
and the continued recovery of
President Eisenhower. Rabbi
Mordecai Kirshblum, Mizrachi
president, appealed to the Pres-
ident- to take action to circum-
vent "the Jews' new enemies"
from carrying through' the ex-
termination which Hitler began.
He also declared that Israel was
in greater danger of becoming
another Munich, rather than an-
other Korea. He charged that
"certain elements" in the State
Department are blocking the
United States from supplying ef-
fective aid to -or concluding a
_ security agreement with Israel.
Meanvvhile, the Mizrachi Na-
tional Education Committee's
16th annual conference here
heard a report that the number
of Jewish day schools in the
United States had increased by
750 percent in the past 15 years.
The growth of the day school
system,_ it was reported, was

more notable in suburban areas.
But a warning was sounded that
an acute shortage of teachers,
both Hebrew and secular, now
threatens the entire day school
movemq,nt.
A mutual U.S.-Israel assistance
pact to guarantee the perman-
ence of Israel's frontiers was
urged at - the convention.
It was decided, to launch a
drive for 25,000 new.members
in 1956 and to ask members to
increase their UJA gifts by 25
per cent.
Yaar Kirschblun — a 20,000=
tree forest in Israel in honor
of the organization's president,
was dedicated at the sessions.
The convention adopted a
$1,000,000 budget for the coming,
year and re-elected Rabbi Kir-
schblum as president.
A resolution was adopted call-
ing for the con-iplete merger of
Mizrachi and Hapoel Hamizrachi
in the U.S. within' six months:
