Keren Hayesod Urges
Jewry Raise $1,000,000
for Israel's Immigrants
•
, JERUSALEM, (JTA) — With
150 delegates from 40 countries
present, the first world confer-
ence of the. Keren Hayesod-
United • Israel Appeal since the
establishment of Israel, called on
world Jewry to raise $1,000,000,-
000 in the coming decade "to
complete the consolidation of the
1,000; 000 immigrants" who have
settled in Israel and to ensure
"the absorption of the third mil-
lion of Israel's population." The
appeal was contained in a con-
ference resolution.
Dr. Nahum Goldmann, pres-
ident, of the World Zionist Or-
ganization, told the conference
that, if fund-raising drives abroad
were halted, a vacuum would be
created in Jewish life in countries
outside Israel. These drives, he
declared, "create an emotional
link between Israel and the Dias-
pora."
Israel, said Goldmann, will
need funds from abroad "for
many years into the future."
Should Israel try to become self-
supporting now, he maintained,
"Israelis would degenerate into
barefooted fellaheen, of which
the world has plenty." Israel, he
said,' "can do its duty of con-
tributing to world civilization only
if the country maintains a high
standard of culture. If Israel's
glory is reflected on world Jew-
ry, and if Jews abroad are _to
bask in this glory, they must pay
for it."
Eliahu Dobkin, head of the
Keren Hayesod, reported that, in
the 28 years preceding Israel's
rebirth, Keren Hayesod raised
27,000,000 pounds sterling. In
the 13 years since Israel's inde-
pendence was prnclaimed, he said,
the fund had raised 751,000,000
Israeli pounds.

medical orderly, was sentenced to
21 terms of life imprisonment for
the proven murder - of 21 prisoners

centration camps in Austria. The

his civil rights for life.

ered at least 35 persons in the
two camps. In addition, the prose-
cutor said in his summary, the
57-year-old defendant was proven
to have killed at least 210 camp

tion, announced the establish-
ment of a Beth Din, a rabbinical
court, to give guidance to Jews

Din will function largely in ad-
vance of civil authorities. It will
seek to preserve marriage ties.

over.

Soldveitchik of 'Boston, Mass.,
and by Dr. Samuel Belkin, presi-
dent of Yeshivah University.
