York to be at Kennedy Airport for
arrival of shipment of new silver
coins struck by Bank of Israel to
commemorate Israel's 16th Inde-
pendence Day, 2,000 of the new
coins arrived by El Al jet for the
opening of the World's Fair, where
they will be available to collectors
in the American-Israel pavillion
and the Hall of Education. The
silver coin has a value of five
Israeli pounds, and depicts the new

The interest of. Doron and Anat in
coins is more than amateur. They
are children of Robert Weber,

poration, under whose auspices
the coins are distributed. El Al
Hostess Yolan Dephillips is also
an avid collector.
Canadian Premier Lauds
Allan Bronfman at Dinner
for 'Man of the Year'
MONTREAL (JTA)—Prime Min-
ister Lester B. Pearson of Canada
and top figures of the Israel gov-
ernment Sunday paid tribute to
Allan Bronfman, noted Canadian
Jewish leader, who was honored
as Montreal's "Man of the Year"
at a dinner here sponsored by the
Israel Bond Organization.
Pearson, who was the principal
speaker at the dinner, described
Bronfman as a leader "whose en-
tire adult career has been marked
by service to good causes and to
the communities that make up our
land."
The Canadian prime minister
emphasized that Bronfman's record
includes service not only to Israel
and to the Jewish communities of
Montreal and other cities, but to
all sections of Canada's popula-
tion, English-speaking and French-
speaking, Jewish and non-Jewish.
Close to $750,000 in Israel Bonds
were sold in conjunction with the
dinner, which was attended by
over 1,000 business, civic and reli-
gious leaders.

Haber, dean of the University of
Michigan's College of Literature,
Science and the Arts.
Traditionalist Suggests Way of Life
to Transmit Unique Jewish Values
"If you want to see your child
live justice, he must see you act
justice."
A traditionalist rabbi, speaking
"not as a rabbi, but as a fellow
Jew, a parent," urged his listen-
ers to transmit Jewish values to
their children as a way of life. "I
see," said Dr. Emanuel Rackman,
"simple values disappearing be-
cause Jews are not living Jewish
lives."
Dr. Rackman, assistant to the
president of Yeshiva University,
delivered Wednesday the final
lecture in the Midrasha Institute
on "Values and Commitments for
Our Day."
One of those "simple values."
the Jewish love of learning, he
said, is being forfeited for prac-
tical, Western values. "How
many parents sit down with
their child on a Friday night
and study for love of study? .. .
If your child told you he wanted
to devote his life to learning in
a Yeshiva, you'd take him to the
doctor."
Dr. Rackman also suggested
that the value of charity has lost
its meaning among the younger
generation and that Jewish family
life has declined, with an accomp-
anying rise in juvenile delin-
quency, alcoholism and suicide.
"The 'togetherness' of Jewish
life is gone," he said, adding that
there was more internal security
"in the ghetto of the Middle
Ages."
Even the concept of "mishpa-
chah," the hierarchy of kinship,
has disappeared, he said. "Jews
weren't afraid to become old .. .
they were entitled to respect. To-
day, old people must pretend to
be young" for a place in the
family.
While the world cherishes many
Jewish values, much that is
uniquely Jewish is not shared by
western civilization, Dr. Backman
said.
As an example, "How does man
use both body and soul to the
glorification of God?" He cited the
"different element," the spiritually
uplifting customs and ceremonies
that Jews "added to all sensual
gratification."
And right to work laws are
nothing new, Dr. Rackman con-
tends. Citing the Talmud, he
said Jews long recognized that
"the right to a job is the right
to live." He also pointed out that
Jewish law emphasizes duty
over right, whereas "in western
culture, everyone knows his
rights, but how many know their
duties?"
Dr. Rackman mentioned, as a
Jewish value, the "deflating atti-
tude to state." The idolatry of a
nation's sovereignity, he said, is
alien to Judaism. "To the Jews
it was never so horrible to be a
second-rate state."
"What was unique about Jewish
values was the philosophical vali-
dation of these values," he said.
"If values are relative (to each
civilization)," Dr. Rackman went
on, "who would be so foolish as
to die for them? The traditionalist
says that rightness or wrongness
of behavior is not relative, but
absolute.
"To believe in law and justice
isn't uniquely Jewish, but to be-
lieve they are the will of God is
uniquely Jewish. And the ultimate
fulfillment of that absolute is a
partnership between man and
God."
