Spain Observes Milestone
at Synagogue Dedication
• (Continued from Page 1)
The new synagogue opened its
doors officially when Rabbi Benito
Gershon of Madrid affixed a mezu-
za to the doorpost. Seventeen Tora
scrolls were carried into the syna-
gogue by elders of the community.
The edifice contains a main sanc-
tuary seating 550 persons, class-
rooms, recreation rooms and a
smaller chapel. It cost $250,000,
t of which was raised by the
part
al
community over the past four
years and the balance of $150,000
provided by the Joint Distribution
Committee and the Conference on
Jewish Material Claims Against
Germany, which allocates funds for
the restoration of European Jewish
communities destroyed during the
Hitler era.
Present at the ceremonies were
Max Mazin, president of the
Madrid Jewish community; Theo-
dore Feder, associate director-
general of the Joint Distribution
Committee; Dr. Salomon Gaon, of
London; Claude Kelman, chairman
of the European Council of Jewish
Community Services; Rabbi Ko-
hana of Argentina; William Nah-
mias, president of the World
Sephardic Federation, and repre-
sentatives of the New York Board
of Rabbis, the American Jewish
Committee and the World Jewish
Congress.
Speaking on behalf of the Jewish
community, Mazin noted that the
Subsidies for Students
Spur Teacher Training
CALGARY (JTA) — Plans for
special subsidies for Western
Canadian Jewish students interest-
ed in attending teacher training
institutes in other parts of Can-
ada, the United States or Israel
were approved by the western
region of the Canadian Jewish
Congress.
The program, under which
students accepting the subsidies
will be asked to make a commit-
ment to return to their home com-
munities to teach in Jewish
schools, will be carried out in co-
operation with local Jewish com-
munity agencies and educational
institutions, officials of the region
added.
Jewish population of Spain has
grown over the past 10 years from
3,000 to 8,000 and in Madrid from
300 in 1959 to more than 2,500
today. He attributed the growth in
part to the immigration of Jews
from former Spanish Morocco, de-
scendants of Spanish Jews who
fled from Spain to North Africa in
the 15th Century. They have de-
veloped a whole range of commu-
nity services, including syna-
gogues, day . schools, vacation
camps, two youth clubs and Tal-
mud Tora classes. Mazin said
these developments had to be view-
ed in the context of the gradual
liberalization of the Spanish gov-
ernment's policy toward religious
minorities which has developed
from "a climate of tolerance" that
began after the First World War
and culminated in the granting of
religious freedom to all minorities
by the Constitution of 1966.

LONDON — Foreign Secretary making exciting discoveries. —
Michael Stewart said in the House A. A. Milne.
of Commons Monday that it would
"not be helpful" to comment on
precise aspects of British activi-
ties in the Middle East situation.
He spoke in reply to several ques-
tions as to what action the govern-
ment was taking to help settle the
crisis and said: "What we have
been doing is to urge all govern-
ments concerned to help United
Nations emissary Gunnar V. Jar-
ring in his mission to find a way
to peace in the Middle East."
Christopher Mayhew, Labor MP,
noted that Dr. Jarring's efforts so
far have not had any hopeful re-
sults and wondered whether cer-
tain West European nations could
not get together to make a con-
structive contribution. Stewart re-
plied that government policy al-
ways favored greater discussion
among West European powers on
all aspects of foreign policy. "I
think that with the parties con-
cerned, and at the present time,
the best thing we can do is to en-
courage Dr. Jarring and help him
in his work," the foreign secre-
tary said.
