As we stan•on the threshold of Israel'
Bar-Mitzvah Year, it is well to reme
that Israel is being built by many
and hands. Here in Detroit, hun
devoted men and women are demo
their faith in Israel's future thro
self-sacrifice and untiring effort
Israel Bond campaign.

Their enthusiasm is a source of stre
and inspiration for all of us, and will assu
the success of the Israel Bar-Mitzvah Year
Inaugural Dinner on November 2nd at
Cobo Hall.

Rarely has our community been privileged
to welcome two such outstanding person-
alities at such a memorable occasion. I
refer to Mr. Jack Benny, America's best-
loved comedian, who is graciously giving
of his talents, time and energy to be with
us to aid our work for Israel; and Dr.
Joseph J. Schwartz, former Director Gen-
eral of the J.D.C., former Executive Vice-
Chairman of the United Jewish Appeal and
Vice President of the Israel Bond Organi-
zation.

In the life of a man or woman, the Bar-
Mitzvah or Bas-Mitzvah year is a time of
preparation for new responsibilities. It is
the same with the twelve and a half-year
old State of Israel. Will Israel meet her

responsibilities of the u
she has
met those of the past? The tasks
t face
Israel are heavy—but many heart many
hands and many dollars man make hose

as he same que on
f ourselves: Will we eet our resp n-
bilities of the future as we have me
ose
of the past? Will we match th
orts of
our Israeli brothers and
rs who are
doing so much t
world appreciate,
role of Jews in today's
family of nations?

The first forward step in the direCtion of
Israel's future progress is to become a 1960
Israel Bond holder and to make sure that
you and your relatives and friends join
with Mr. Jack Benny and Dr. Joseph J.
Schwartz at the Israel Bar-Mitzvah Year
Inaugural Dinner on November 2nd.

Where will I be on November 2nd?
I will be in Israel—on an economic mission
that was arranged many months ago, and
is of compelling importance for raising
large-scale investment capital for Israel.

Only those who have the same explanation
—who will be in Israel on November 2nd---
are, of course, not expected to attend the
Israel Bar-Mitzvah Year Inaugural Dinner.

Where will you be on November 2nd?
