Israel's 16th
Anniversary
Event Aril I9
The celebration of the 16th
anniversary of Israel's inde-
pendence will be held Sunday,
April 19, 8 p.m., in the Adas
Shalom social hall, it was an-
nounced by Sidney M. Shevitz,
president of the Jewish Corn-
munity Council, and Rabbi Leon
Fram, chairman, Detroit Zionist
Council, under whose auspices
the celebration has been pre-
sented in Detroit since the re-
establishment of the State of
Israel.
The Detroit community will
join with other communities
throughout the world to cele-
brate Israel's re-emergence as
a sovereign state, against a back-
ground of heightened tensions
in the Middle East, brought
about by the build up of mis-
siles, planes, and other conven-
tional and non - conventional
weapons, by Egypt with the as-
sistance of German scientists
and technicians.
A prominent military figure
in high command of the army
of Israel will deliver the key-
note address.
In addition, there will be
pageantry, and an artistic pro-
gram in which Sabra (native-
born Israeli) artists will be fea-
tured.
Members of the committee
planning the program, in addi-
tion to Shevitz and Rabbi Fram,
are:
Harold S. Berke, Lawrence Crohn,
Dr. Arthur Feuer, Mrs. Sam Fish-
man, Mrs. Max Frank, Mrs. Samuel

Seminary Gets
Rare Haggadah
A unique 600-year-old manu-
script Haggadah has been pre-
sented to The Jewish Theo-
logical Seminary of America by
anonymous donors who are re-
ported to have paid a sum in
excess of $10,000 for the vol-
ume. One of only 15 such manu-
scripts known to be extant, this
Haggadah is considered to be a
most important example of the
work of the medieval book illus-
trator in Spain. In addition to
many superb finished illustra-
tions it includes, significantly,
a number of partially-completed
sketches at different stages of
progress from which much can
be learned of the working meth-
ods and techniques of the an-
cient craftsmen.
The manuscript also bears
witness to the degree to which
Spanish Jews in the Middle
Ages participated in the cul-
tural life of the general com-
munity.
The news of the acquision of
this rare Hebrew manuscript,
a Haggadah written in Cata-
lonia in Spain at the end of the
13th century, was contained in
an announcement released by
the Seminary Chancellor, Dr.
Louis Finkelstein, on the eve
of Passover. The Haggadah
(which in Hebrew means discus-
sion) is the book that tells the
story of the Exodus, the events
celebrated during this eight-day
Festival.
