Council Slated to Meet
Proclaimed as JNF Sabbath in
Detroit and Jewish communities
throughout Michigan, Feb. 1 will
be observed as part of Jewish
National Fund Month, occurring
during the Hebrew month of
Shevat.
David P. Zack, president of
JNF, reports that many rabbis
and synagogue officers have
pledged to impress members with
the full impact of JNF programs.
Since Tu b' Shevat, the New
Year of the Trees, which this
year falls Feb. 3, will occur only
two days later, JNF Sabbath will
take on added significance, Zack
said.
The Jewish National Fund
Council consisting of representa-
tives of affiliate organizations,
will meet 8:30 p.m. Feb. 5, at
the Zionist Cultural Center,
Zack announced.
