Our daughter, Yammy, and
her three-month-old Iris live in
Jerusalem. They were under con-
stant Jordanian fire and were
pinned down in their air raid
shelter for days. Her husband,
Heshy, had duties which kept
him on the other side of the city
throughout. The telephone lines
remained intact, though elec.
tricity was cut, and from time to
time Yammy rang us in Haifa
to report all was well, while the
machine gun fire and the mortar
bursts sounded in the back-
ground. In this little country a
phone call can bring one right
to the front.

Soldiers in battle carried transis-
tors to keep abreast of develop-
ments. And many a man in this
citizens' army received in the field

THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

The Central Conference of Ameri-
can Rabbis has called for a com-
plete mobilization of its 1,000 mem-
bers in the United States and
Canada and their Reform Syna-

gogues to help the people of Israel.
The National Jewish Welfare
Board has called on its more than
400 affiliated Jewish Community
Centers and YM-YWHAs to give
their "full and unstinted support"
personally "and through all the
means" at their disposal to the
Israel Emergency Fund of the
United Jewish Appeal.

Because of the crisis confront-
ing the State of Israel, Brandeis
University has discontinued all
developement campaign efforts
for endowment or capital pur-
poses within the American-
Jewish community.
A group of more than 70 Bran-

deis University students are pre-
paring to leave for Israel to help
the nation's food crop in place of
army volunteers called to the front.
Another 100 Brandeis students are
expected to apply.

from the nation's maternity wards!

News that the Old City of Jeru-
salem. with its holy places, was in
Israeli hands was greeted with
unbelieivable displays of rejoicing
and emotion. Hardly a soul in the
country had dry eyes.

General feeling here: We were
pushed into the Sinai-Suez War
ten years ago to seek national se-
curity, but others lost for us at
the negotiating table all that we
we had won on the battlefield. This
time no power on earth is going
to make us give up anything which
we feel necessary for our national
survival. All maps of the Middle
East are going to be obsolete be-
fore this round is over . .. come
what may!
