20 Synagogues Respond to Call
for High Holy Day Bond Appeals

A total of 20 synagogues in
the Metropolitan Detroit area
have to date notified the State
of Israel Bond office of their
intentions to again support High
Holy Day appeals for Israel
Bonds.
Heading the list is Adas Sha-
lom Synagogue, which has tra-
ditionally been the leader in
Bond appeals in past years. The
congregation voted unanimous-
ly last week to authorize the
Bond appeal.
Other synagogues are Congre-
gations Ahavas Achim, Beth
Aaron, Beth Abraham, Beth Jo-
seph, Beth Moses, Beth Shmuel,
Beth Tikvah, Beth Yehudah,
Bnai Israel, Bnai Jacob, Bnai
Zion, Evergreen Jewish Cong.,
Ezras Achim, Gemiluth Chasso-
dim, Mishkan Israel, Mogen
Abraham, S h o m r e y Emunah,
Young Israel of Northwest De-
troit and Chesed shel Emes.
At the same time, the local
Bond office released a message
sent from Israel by Rabbi Max
J. Wohlgelernter, secretary gen-
eral to the Israel Chief Rabbi-
nate.
In his appeal for support of
Israel, Rabbi Wohlgelernter,
who formerly served as execu-
tive vice-president of the Yeshi-
vath Beth Yehudah in Detroit,
states:
"Jewish communities through-
out the world, marking High
Holy Days at the beginning of
the Hebrew calendar year 5720,
will demonstrate the eternal
unity of God, Torah and Israel.
The unbroken link between
Eretz Israel and the Diaspora
will again be accentuated when
millions Of our brethren reach a
high point of religious exalta-
tion at Neila on the Day of
Atonement.
"Divine Providence brought
the state of Israel into being 11
years ago after generations of
Jews had continued to voice

yq

hope in their prayers and given
practical expression to it by
supporting the old and the mod-
ern Yishuv. The Ingathering of
the exiles' from many lands and
their maturing into citizenship;
the growth of agriculture, in-
dustry and democratic govern-
ment; the creation and mainte-
nance of religious and educa-
tional institutions — these and
other achievements since inde-
pendence was regained have
been made possible by the mate-
rial aid world Jewry has con-
tributed for the second Return
to Zion.
"Ahead of us lie the further
development and defense of the
country and the final absorption
of those who have come over
the years. We shall need the
unflagging cooperation of every
loyal son and daughter of the
Jewish people to complete these
initial steps in the historic proc-
ess of redemption.
"In keeping with the very
tradition of these solemn occa-
sions, synagogue worshippers
should rededicate themselves to
this sacred task on Rosh Hash-
anah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot,
and avail themselves of the op-
portunity to acquire a real
share in the upbuilding of the
Holy Land by purchasing State
of Israel Bonds.
