McDonald tirges 'Torah as Spiritual
Force in Israel,' at Bar-Ilan Event
'Danny Raskin's
,
Addressing a gathering of 550
supporters of the M i z r a c hi
movement and Mizrachi's Bar-
Ilan Uniyersity in Israel, at the
second annual dinner of the De-
troit Bar-Ilan Committee, Tues-
day evening, at Latin Quarter,
Dr. James G. McDonald, the
first U. S. Ambassador to Israel,
declared that Bar-Ilan "stresses
Israel's vital connection with
the past, becoming a vital tie
between Israel and the Diaspo-
ra."
This university, he said, "came
into being in a crucial and de-
cisive moment in the life of the
Jewish people. It represents the
spirit • of unity in Jewish life;
integrated with Torah. Israel 'is
a spiritual force and must hold
on to Torah."
Dr. McDonald said he - had a
personal interest in Bar-Ilan
because of his friendship for the
man in whose honor the univer-
sity was named—the late Rabbi
Meir Berlin who adopted _the
name Bar-Ilan upon the estab-
lishment of Israel.
Reviewing the existing criti-
cal situation in Israel, Dr.
McDonald said he had faith
in Israel's determination to'
exist and in its unwillingness
to be a second' Austria or
Czechoslovakia.
Dr. McDonald pointed out that
the recent move into Sinai was
motivated by a feeling of des-
peration at the unwillingness of
Dulles to understand the seri-
ousness of `the Nasser threats.
"History will record," he said,
"that our Government was pos-
sibly responsible for the mood
out of which that desperation
came."
He deplored our Government's
carrying out a policy of eco-
nomic sanctions . against Israel,
the denial of grants-in-aid, "the
embargo on travel which hits
Israel severely," the withdrawal
of Point 4 aid.
He saw a bright side to the
picture in that "Israel won a
great moral victory in Sinai,"
and because it brought to light
the truth that "Nasser is every-
where recognized as the- enemy
of the world, even the enemy of
the oil men—and they know it."
"Surely," he said, "Dulles and
Eisenhower can not be ignorant
of the fact that this man is the
enemy of the free world. He
also is regarded as an enemy by
many Arab states, with the pos-
sible exception of Syria."
Phillip Stollman, national
chairman of the American
board of Bar-Ilan University,
opened the meeting. David I.
Berris presided and, Dr. Mc-
Donald was introduced by
Rabbi Samuel Stollman. of
Windsor.
The musical program was
given by the Talismen Quar-
tette and by Cantor Shabtai
Ackerman, who was accompa-
nied at the piano by Dan Froh-
Man. The Motzi was made. by
Rabbi J. S. Sperka and the Ben-
shen was led by Rabbi Samuel
Prero.
The audience gave an ovation
to Gen. S. L. A. Marshall, De-
troit News military analyst who
recently returned from Israel
and was a guest at the dinner
with Mrs. Marshall.
Abe Nusbaum, Michigan
chairman for Bar-Ilan Univer-
sity, stated after the dinner
that he and his committee were
heartened by the support given
them through Mizrachi for the
university.

Central English Department, Dies
