Israel Articles
By Dr. Hertz in
Detroit Times

An enthusiastic audience of
1,500 people who jam-packed
the Mumford High School audit-
orium last Sunday evening help-
ed to officially launch the an-
nual Histadrut Campaign in
Detroit.
Behind the stirring drama of
Zvi Scooler, the beautiful sing-
ing of Lea Koven and the pow-
erful performance of the Ha-
'Machol Dance Group, was the
ominous apprehension of the
audience which had been stirred
by current tensions in the Mid-
dle East.
Morris Lieberman, chairman
of the Detroit Histadrut Cam-
paign, presided. Morris Scha-
per, honorary Campaign chair-
man together with Harry Schu-
mer, who was to have intro-
duced Lieberman, was ill and
could not attend.
Lieberman stressed the cur-
rent goal of $250,000 plus $1,
and said it was vital to reach
this mark quickly.
Stating that Histadrut has
taken over in the present emer-
gency to do three jobs ordi-

ries of six articles on Israel and

narily undertaken by the Israel
government, he outlined:
1. The work of Kupat Holim,
Histadrut medical arm, which
has been caring for wounded
servicemen in the clash with
Egypt;
2. The efforts of Histadrut
to take care of the wives and
dependents of Israeli service-
men called into action; and
3. The bolstering of front
line defenses in the kibbutzim,
nearly all of which are affi-
liated with Histadrut.
Berl Locker, former co-
chairman o f t h e Jewish
Agency and a member of the
Israel Parliament, called on
American Jewry for Aliyah,
mustering of public opinion
and finances.
The guest speaker empha-
sized the need for increased
emigration from the Western
world to provide the skills and
technical know-how so vitally
needed by Israel today.
He called on American Jewry
to tell and keep repeating the
important fact that the Israelis
are not aggressors, but are only
seeking to defend themselves
against hostile neighbors who
refuse to live in peace with
Israel and seek only to exter-
minate her.
Locker said that during the
current emergency in the Mid-
dle East, the financial require-
ments of Histadrut have dou-
bled.
Not alone is there the added
burden o f mobilization o f
Israel's armed forces, Locker
pointed out, but plans for im-
migration call for an increase
this year.
Locker said that while last
year 51,000 Jews came to Israel,
immigration figures for the
current fiscal year have been
established at 75,000, mostly
from North Africa.
Still another factor. in +.•"
irrin-i3gratioh picture is
overe
the indication that Russia and
the Iron Curtain countries may
allow some migration during the
year, although recent actions
tend to nullify that hope,
Locker said.
Scooler, the Yiddish and
Broadway actor, opened the
evening's program with a dra-
matic sketch, "The March of the
Halutz," which he dedicated to
the 70th birthday of Israel
Prime Minister Ben-Gurion.
Both Lea Koven, Detroit
soprano, and the dance group,
under the direction of Harriet
Berg, made their first perform-
ances at a large gathering, and
were received enthusastic ally
by the audience which called
them back for encores.
During the week, Histadrut
workers began intensifying
their efforts to reach the
campaign goal. Delegates to
the annual Histadrut conven-
tion in New York seek to take
a sum of $50,000 as the mini-
mum Detroit advance on its
total- figure.
The parley, to be held Nov.
22 to 25 will hear from numer-
ous American, Israeli and labor
leaders. Principal speaker will
be Semah Cecil Hyman, Israeli
Consul General in New York.
Local Delegates are Maurice
Baker and Jacob Glaser, Far-

Joseph Haggai, a teacher in
the United Hebrew Schools of

tors, who have served their
