"Lift up now thine eyes, and look . . . for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever" (Gen. 13.14-15). N.Y. Mayor Pledges Sites for Monuments NEW YORK (JTA) — N e w York's Mayor Wagner assured a delegation representing 34 Jewish organizations that the city will provide an "appropriate site" for the erection of two memorials to the martyrs of the Nazi holocaust and the heroes of the Warsaw Ghetto rebellion. He made that pledge to the group, headed by Dr. Joachim Prinz, president of the American Jewish Congress. Previously, the Municipal Art Commission had ruled that neither of the monu- ments could be erected in River- side Park, calling one of the de- signs too tragic and "distressing" to be viewed by the children play- ing in the park. Wagner did not say where the new sites would be, but assured the committee that the location will be one "readily accessible to millions of residents and visitors." Both monuments will be designed by the famous Jewish sculptor, Nathan Rappaport, whose monu- ments commemorating the 6,000,- 000 victis of the holocaust have been built in Warsaw and in a number of other cities. Dr. Prinz thanked the mayor for "his intercession in this matter and for his determination to see to it that a fitting monument in honor of the Jewish victims of Nazism" would be erected in New York. At the command of God, Abram left Haran Lek Lekha and journeyed to Canaan. There God appeared to him and said: "Unto thy seed will I give this land" (Genesis 12.7). There was a famine in the land of Canaan, and Abram took his household to Egypt. On his return, he and his nephew Lot separated peaceably, Lot choosing to settle in the plain Abe Segal of South Africa, of Sodom. In the battles between the northern kings and those winner of the 1957 Maccabi.ah of the plain of Sodom, Lot was captured. Learning of his Games tennis title, won the South nephew's plight, Abram armed his followers and pursued African national singles champion- Lot's captors. He defeated them and rescued his nephew and ship in 1964. the other captives from Sodom. God made a covenant with Abram to give him and his seed after him the land of Canaan ("The Covenant between the Parts"). When Abram's wife Sarai saw that she was barren she gave Hagar, her hand- maiden, to Abram as wife. Hagar bore Abram a son, who was called Ishmael. At God's command, Abram changed his name to Abraham, and his wife's name to Sarah. He was circumcized, together with all the males of his household. — Drastic Action Sought to Check Intermarriage CHICAGO (JTA)—Such drastic action as public condemnation of Jews who marry outside the faith was proposed at an Orthodox- sponsored conference as a means of deterring such intermarriages. The proposal was offered at the 12th annual conference of the Council of Traditional Synagogues of Greater Chicago. Rabbi Moses Mescheloff said one form the condemnation could take would be refusal to "extend facilities of the synagogue or its membership for death, marriage and other oc- casions" in the lives of intermar- ried couples. He compared the proposal with Bar and Bat Mitzvah which "are helping to save our children for Judaism" and recital of the kaddish which "has brought many men back to the synagogues." Members of a panel on "Assimi- lation Through Marriage" agreed that intensive Jewish education was necessary to prevent such intermarriage. Rabbi C. David Regensberg, presiding judge of the Rabbinical Court of the Chi- cago Rabbinical Council, proposed that the sum of $1,000,000 be raised on Chicago for Jewish ed- ucation on all levels.
