Rabbi Jakobovits looks upon
his new position as second in im-
portance only to that of the chief
rabbi of Israel. He told the New

key role in the future of Europe,
and the Anglo-Jewish community
plays a key role, too, since it is
placed in the center of the Israel
American axis."

1965. The Orthodox Jewish com-
munity has been divided over
interpretation of ancient Jewish
religious laws by the Beth Din

JERUSALEM—Israel will invest
725,000,000 pounds ($241,000,000) in
agricultural development during
the next five years, with nearly
200,000,000 pounds ($67,000,000) of
that amount scheduled for live-
stock, Agriculture Minister Haim
Gvati told a press conference
Monday.
He said plans called for an in-
crease in Israel's farm output dur-
ing that period of 37 per cent for
a total value of 838,000,000 pounds
($279,000,000). He predicted an
even greater rise in farm exports
during the five years from $84,-
500,000 to $149,000,000).
He warned, however, that profit-
ability in the citrus industry had
reached a crisis point because of
inflated costs. He said that if
there was no new wave of cost in-
creases, citrus would continue to
be sold at the official rate of ex-
change of three pounds per dollar.
He said this was being made pos-
sible by additional government
payments for dollars earned as ex-
port subsidies.

McGraw Hill Co.,
Seminary Issue
Works on Bible
The McGraw-Hill Book Co. and
the Jewish Theological Seminary
of America, will collaborate in the
publication of a series of books
about the Bible intended to make
the Old Testament more intel-
ligible, relevant and inspiring to
children, young people and adults
who have had no special training
in biblical studies. Simultaneously
the publiSher and the seminary
have announced that the first
volume in the series, "Understand-
ing Genesis", by Prof. Nahum M.
Sarna of Brandeis University, will
be published in September. Further
volumes are in preparation and
will be issued at the rate of one
per year hereafter, it was stated.
The preparation of these volumes
has been under the direction of the
Melton Research Center which was
established at the Jewish Theolog-
ical Seminary in 1960 by Mr. and
Mrs. Samuel Mendel Melton of
Columbus, 0. The ideas behind the
prOject include a recognition that
one of the major weaknesses of
American religious education has
been in the preparation and pre-
sentation of the formal subject
material of the curriculum in
biblical studies. It is the hope of
the publisher and the Seminary
that the series will help the teacher
in church and synagogue schools
and p r i v a t e schools offering
courses in religion to teach what
has been written about the Bible,
about Hebrew history, and about
the world of the ancient Near East.
