z ti O Friday, April 3, 1964 W 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 Gold.

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. Israel Discount Bank to Offer Shares in U. S.
