Israeli-Druse Link
Strong: Warhaftig

JERUSALEM (JTA)—"The link
between the people of Israel and
the Druse community, including
those living on the Golan Heights,
is not coincidental or temporary
—it has deep roots in the past and
will continue for many generations
to come for the benefit of both of
our peoples, who have sealed their
alliance with blood."
So said Minister of Religious
Affairs Dr. Zerah Warhaftig at the
traditional ceremony at the grave
of the Druse martyr, Al Yafouri,
at Birket Ram on the Heights.

THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

Medallic History of Jewish People

Now entering its second year,
"The Medallic History of the Jew-
ish People" has proved a boon to
rabbis and those who use each
sculpted medal as a central start-
ing point for discussion of a seg-
ment of history.
The medals issued to date show
biblical figures, sites and events
related to the heritage of the
Jewish people.
-
The series, consisting of 120
medals, issued two a month, will
be completed in 1974. The 3,200

Yemen is 1,000 miles and 500 years from Israel, but the age-old
problem of anti-Semitic persecution plagued this Yemenite mother
and her children. The Joint Distribution Committee, supported by
the United Jewish Appeal, flew them on the legendary "wings of an
eagle" to modern Israel where they will have a new life free from
terror and hunger.
