An intensified cultural pro-

ganization members, particular-

The 32-year-old Israeli, who

man or woman
is a Zionist."

fied with a formal Zionist move-
ment, they are pro-Zionist in
their thinking and orientation.
His task here will be to pro-
vide programs and cultural ex-
periences to encourage young
people to join the Labor Zionist
movement.
Gadish, born in Tel Aviv, at-

A member of the Histadrut

was born in Poland in 1910 and
came to Israel in 1930 where he
became a member of a kibbutz.

mander. During World War II
he served with the British Army
up until the time he was taken
prisoner by the Germans in

period of his internment, from issued by American Jewish Cul-

unusual work that assists in an

It is just what the title says:

The children's voices are
especially thrilling. Skipping
rope, counting to ten and
backwards in a class of 6-
year-old youngsters, a mother
calling the child to lunch and
the child's reply—these and
many other sounds give re-
ality to a fine recording.
Use of Hebrew as the lan-
guage of the new nation is
especially in evidence. A child
greets a parrot with "baker
toy" and the parrot is heard
repeating in Hebrew. With a
doll as the medium children are
taught Hebrew.
Then there are the bargain-
ers in the market place, those
acting the roles being unaware
that their voices were being re-
corded.
Jerusalem as the religious
center also is portrayed through
the voices of representatives of
all faiths, and not only the
synagogue but the church —
Catholic and Protestant — is
represented.
Even a circumcision, in the
Hada ss ah Hospital, finds
echoes in this record.
Songs and laughter depict
life in Jerusalem, and the va-
ried voices provide understand-
ing of the life of the Israelis
in the Holy City. The final
sounds are those of the man
who "walked a long way, but at
last has come home."
It is a remarkable record,
well done, well worthy of a wide
listening public.
