JERUSALEM (JTA) — The
first and possibly the only
Christian who has been con-
verted • to Judaism • in Russia
since the Bolshevik revolution
has arrived in Israel.
Daniel Zagayski, the convert,
is a 70-year-old white-bearded
man who has spent most of
his time since his arrival in
-a Jerusalem synagogue, recit-
ing the Psalms in gratitude for
being in the Holy City.
Zagayski, who came to Israel
from Umman, where he was
a shoemaker, said he converted
to Judaism under the impact
of the teachings of the Bres-
law Rebbe, whose tomb is lo-
cated in Umman.
The convert said that before
World War II, an entire village

converted to Judaism and that
all of the converts were ex-
terminated by the Nazis.

Helping Santa's Helpers

Good old Santa has a staff of helpers, as
everybody knows, for even as magical a
man as he could hardly be expected to do
such a tremendous job without some
assistance . . . But do you know where his
helpers get a lot of THEIR help? Why, from
the thousands upon thousands of trucks that
daily transport raw materials, manufactured
, goods, farm products — everything it takes
`not only for day-to-day living but for a
Merry Christmas, too. You can bet your
boots that everything you see around the
tree on Christmas morning traveled' by
