To- LONDON, (JTA) — Soviet government leaders, including a number of ministers, as well as about 40 leaders of the Jewish communities in Moscow and Kiev, came to the Israel Embassy at Moscow to celebrate Israel's Independence Day. Jewish Telegraphic Agency dispatches from virtually all other countries reported broad participation in Israel Indepen- dence Day receptions held at Israel's Embassies or conducted by Zionist and other Jewish organizations in most capitals. Among the dispatches were re- ports of attendance by high gov- ernmental officials and state and municipal leaders at Israel Em- bassy receptions at Helsinki, 4russels, Vienna, Lisbon, Syd- ney, Johannesburg, Bombay, Mon- treal, Guatemala City, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires and Santi- ago de Chile. Even West Berlin participated in the celebration. The Zionist Organization of the former capital held an Independence Day rally at the new Jewish Community Center there. Hias Joins Catholics, Protestants in Urging Action on Refugee Bill WASHINGTON, (JTA) - - United Hias Service joined with a Catholic and a Protestant relief agency in urging the Sen- ate to take action on a House- passed bill that would insure continued United States partici- pation in broad-scale rescue and resettlement refugee programs. In a statement issued at a news conference jointly held by United Hias, Catholic Relief Service and the Church World Service, heads of the three inter- national voluntary agencies com- plained that the measure, the Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1962, "is still tabled in book of prayers for the entire year—for the daily services, the Sabbath, the Holy Days and all holidays, has been issued by Prayer Book Press, 410 Asylum St., Hartford 1, Conn. Ably compiled and edited by Rabbis Sidney Greenberg and Morris Silverman, this volume is typographically perfect for h i l d r e n. United Synagogue leaders and Conservative rabbis guided in the preparation of this volume with their sugges- tions, and the result is a volume that is impressive and should serve an important purpose for use in religious schools, in homes and by participants in junior congregational services. In an inspiring preface, the editors and compilers point out that "to worship God is a truly great privilege of hu- man beings," and the Sidur helps "to pray sincerely and reverently." They explain the meaning of "Sidur"—"order" —indicating that the prayers are arranged in a certain or- der; that the Sidur is the most important book for the Jew next to the Bible; that it took centuries to compile it and that it is correct to say that it was written by the Jewish people throughout the gen- erations. Many of the explanatory notes accompanying the prayers will be found of immense value by the young people using "Sidur- eny", our Sidur, and will help you ngsters- Every occasion on the Jewish calendar is represented in "Si- durenu" — the Torah service, the candle lighting which is ex- plained by a "Welcoming the Sabbath" note, prayers for the New Moon and Our Country and Israel, the Kiddush for Sab- bath and holidays, selected por- tions for Purim, Passover (the Mah Nishtana with a festival evaluation), Rosh Hoshanah and Yom Kippur, Cantillations and other musical notes and a score of other selections. The editors state in their in- troductory essay: "When we are happy, we want to express our joy. When we are sad, we want to find comfort. When we are tempted to do wrong, we want strength to resist. When we or oar loved ones are sick, we ask for healing. On all such occasions, the Sidur is our friend. There is much truth in the words of the man who said that 'we pray because we cannot help praying'. For a Jew, prayer is the key with which he opens the day, and the lock with which he closes it at night. "We pray in Hebrew, the language which we call Lashon Hakodesh, the "holy language'. Hebrew is holy to us because it is the language in which the Torah and our other sacred and basic books were written. It is the Lin- day it is also the language spoken by Emar people in Is- raeL At all times it has united Jews throughout the world. What a thrill it would be, if some day you, too, would un- derstand and speak Hebrew. "At this time, however, you are still learning the lan- guage. You do not yet know the meaning of the beautiful Hebrew mortis. We have, therefore, provided you with explanations and comments which will help you under- stand the true meaning of the Sider. God wants not only our words, but also our thoughts; not only our lips, but also our hearts. "Before you begin to study the Sidur, it would be well to consider the care of this book. We should show respect for all books and especially for holy books. Therefore, we have to be careful as to how we treat the Sider. Before we use it, we must make sure our hands are dean. If we drop it by accident, we pick it up and kiss it. We do not write on the pages of the Sidur. We do not sit on it. We do not take it into such places as a bathroom. When a Sidur becomes too worn to be used, we may not discard it by throwing it into a trash can, or by burning it. The Sidur is left at the Syna- gogue, which saves worn-out books in a closet or store- Religious Schools room. When a large slumber of such holy books have been gathered together, the Syna- gogue arranges to bury the books is a Jewish cemetery." The merits of this fine prayer book become apparent imme- diately to educators and to par- ents who desire to enhance the praying practice of their chil- dren. It is deserving of all the commendations accorded it. Israeli Industries More than half of the indus- trial establishments in Israel are located in Tel Aviv, the na- tion's largest city.
