Israel is "truly a laboratory" in
its marvelous manner of absorb-
ing immigrants from scores of
countries.
Mrs. Epstein spoke of the dang-
ers that continue to face Israel
and emphasized that Hadassah's
countrywide membership must de-
vote itself to creating an atmos-
phere of understanding of Israel's
position in the world. There is
need, she said, for constant refuta-
tion of attacks on Israel. She also
urged continued emphasis on ed-
ucational efforts for the enrich-
ment of Jewish life.
