Dedication of Sabbath Services to Israel

Peace, Welfare, Urged by Local Mizrachi

Detroit Mizrachi-Hapoel Ham-
izrachi, in a call issued this
week to rabbis of all Detroit
congregations, urged the dedi-
cation of sermons this Sabbath

dael.
Zvi Tomkiewicz, executive

cial prayers for the welfare and
peace of Israel.
"We also urge Detroit Jews
to attend synagogue services

ship with the Jewish State,"

Would Recognize
Israel Over Again,
Truman Asserts

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.,
(JTA) — Harry S. Truman,
'former President of the
United States, declared here
that he is "not sorry" he
recognized Israel within a
few hours after the reborn
Jewish State issued its Dec-
laration of Independence in
1948. "I would do it again,"
he asserted firmly. Truman
was a guest at a luncheon
of the United Nations Cor-
respondents Association.
Asked whether he thought
the United Nations resolu-
tions on repatriation and
compensation of Arab refu-
gees should be implemented,
Truman answered: "Yes.
They should be carried out."

was created .55 years ago under
the leadership of the renowned
late Rabbi Jacob Isaac Reines.
From then on it was a part of
the Zionist movement in all
aims and goals for the upbuild-
ing of the Jewish State.
The American Mizrachi Move-
ment was started in 1914 with
the arrival of the late Zionist
Leader, Rabbi Mayer Berlin
(Bar-Ilan). The first conven-
t tion of the Mizrachi movement
in the United States took place
in Cincinnati in 1923, and del-
egates from Detroit were the
late Rabbi J. L. • Levin, Jacob
Levin and Lipa Dann. Jacob
Levin became the first presi-
dent of the Mizrachi Organiza-
tion in Detroit. After him, the
presidency was held by the late
Isaac Rosenthal. In the last 15
years, the presidency was held
by Daniel Temchin, I r v in g
Schlussel and Meyer Beckman.
The president now is the well
known leader Phillip Stollman,
who also is the national chair-
man of the American Commit-

tee for Bar-Ilan University in
Israel.
Mizrachi has played an out-
standing part in the Israel Bond
drives here, in the Jewish Na-
tional Fund, four Israel Forests
having been established in hon-
or of its leaders—Irving W.
Schlussel, Daniel Temchin, the
late Abraham Nusbaum and the
Stollman Family.
Detroit Mizrachi actively as-
sists the Allied Jewish Cam-
paigns and the work of the
Zionist Council.
One of the important un-
dertakings of Mizrachi, the
Bar-Ilan University in Israel,
named in honor of the first
American Mizrachi president,
the late Rabbi Meyer Berlin
—Bar-Ilan—and to the De-
troit organization goes the
credit for a major share in
the Bar-Han efforts.
Stollman, as national chair-
man of Bar-Ilan University, has
visited Israel in the university's
behalf and he devotes himself
wholeheartedly to this cause.
The Stollman family has es-
tablish ed a dormitory at the
university.
Mizrachi is exceedingly ac-
tive in behalf of the CARE
Food Plan- for Israel, and the
Detroit Mizrachi. Office has as-
sisted many needy families with
CARE food packages.

With a sense of pride, we greet our kinsmen

of the Maccabees . . . You are building and
