Sharett Advises Against Criticisms of U. S. Jewry
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Israeli
appeals for increased emigra-
tion of American Jews to this
country should be based on posi-
tive aspects, rather than on
negative criticism of American
Jewish life, Moshe Sharett de-
clared here. The former Prime
Minister and ex-Foreign Min-
ister made that statement in an
address to a meeting of the
Mapai Party, reporting on his
recent trip to the United States.
Rebukes and condemnations
against American Jews, he said,
will not help produce greater
American - Jewish immigration
into Israel. If such an increase
is desired, stated Sharett, then
stress should be laid on the
positive aspects of the possi-
bilities of a richer and fuller
Jewish life in Israel. American-
Jewish life, he said, has not

been shaken by an occasional
act of the dynamiting of a syna-
gogue here or there.
Sharett said he found the eco-
nomic standards among Ameri-
can Jews generally high, and
"American comforts stronger
than any ideology." Only a long
educational process, he held,
would bring about an increase
in American Jewish emigration
to Israel, where proper living
and housing conditions would
have to be prepared.
