Tisba b'Ab Call
Issued by JNF

The Jewish National Fund
has issued a call to Rabbis and
leaders of synagogues to con-
duct an , intensive appeal for
Jewish National Fund on Tisha
b'Ab, which this year will be
observed on Saturday evening,
July 26, and Sunday, July 27_
The JNF Synagogue Commit-
tee asks that "the message of
the State of Israel, its people,
its struggles and its triumphs
should again be brought to wor-
shippers who are gathered in
Synagogues on Tisha b'Ab. We
should recall our maryrdom of
the past, and take comfort in
the miraculous events which led
to the re-establishment of the
Jewish State in our time."

paign in England to provide

sity in Israel, to bear the name

of the university's academic
council.
When opened, the school will

uate faculty.
Establishment of the Dr. Is-
rael Brodie Chair at Bar-Dan
University, an American-pat-
-terned university, will mark the
tenth anniversity of Dr. Brodie's
ascension to the Chief Rabbi-
nate of the British Common-
wealth. A few weeks ago, Rabbi
Brodie visited the university, at
Ramat Gan, a garden suburb of

eral continents and behind the
Iron Curtain have hailed the
action of the British Friends of

oriented, the University was es-
tablished in 1955 by American
Jews.

Rabbi Levin, in behalf of the
Vaad Harabonim, and Max
Biber, chairman of the Council's
synagogue planning committee,
urged that congregations plan-
ning to erect new houses of
worship select areas which are
currently not served by a syna-
gogue or temple of the particu-
lar branch of Judaism of which
they are members. They urge
that no such Jewish institution
of worship should be establiShed
within the radius of at least
one mile from a similar congre-
gation of the same branch of
Judaism.
To make an appointment to
discuss proposed new synagogue
sites, write to the Council office
at 163 Madison, Suite 225, or
telephone WO 2-6710.

Isadore Sosnick has been
elected president of a new syna-
gogue that has been formed to
meet the needs of vacationers
at Woodhull Lake.
The synagogue, which is at-
tended by over 50 members
each sabbath, is named Cong.
Zev Sholem. It has a Sister-
hood, headed by Mrs. Simon
Shifman, which is composed of
71 members.
All vacationers are welcome
to attend the services, Sosnick
stated.
