„PS Volume of Tully Filmus' Works' Jews in Joyous Labors, in Prayer and Study Artists and art lovers will be enchanted by the newest of the Jewish Publication Society vol- umes—the immense collection of selected drawings by Tully Filmus. It is an impressive work especially / because it interprets Jewish life in various stages and offers great satisfaction to those who are nostalgic about the stiteti. The artistic genius of Tully Filmus is outlined here in the introductory essay by George Albert Perret, and there is an additional treat for the reader—the essay by Isaac Bashevis Singer who deals with "Hasidism and Its Origins” and therefore supplies an historic view of the great religious movement while adding invaluably to an understanding of the artist's work, since much of that work stems from and exerts an influence upon the Hasidim. Art curator Perret points tei Filmus as a creative man who makes us "aware of the joyous possi- bilities in the drawings of all times." He adds that Filmus' work "achieves profound universal signi- ficance through direct and honest simplicity." "Tully Filmus not only possesses great inner tranquility, but is also able to communicate it to the point where we can share in it," Perret states. "Sensitive lines and opulent surfaces in his drawings produce a sense of calm and yet stimulate us with an inner achievement." And Isaac Bashevis Singer, in addition to his illuminating essay on Hasidim and Hasidism also states: "Tully Filmus is an artist who refuses to be hypnotized by fashions. He is not afraid to be called a realist. He is not afraid of 'telling a story' even though this is considered a terri- ble sin among the art critics of today. He is not against experiment but will not take part in a 'revolution'. which has already all the signs of a cliche. Tully Filmus is still observing nature and drawing from its treasures. His courage is being true to himself and his concert of art evokes admiration for him and his work." Tully Filmus Arthur Goldberg Named Chairman of Interfaith National Bible Week NEW YORK — Former Su- preme Court Justice Arthur J. Goldberg has been named national chairman for the 31st annual inter- faith observance of National Bible Week, it was announced by Myron L. Boardman, president of the Laymen's National Bible Commit- tee, sponsoring organization. Justice Goldburg is the first Jew to head this interreligious effort. In accepting chairmanship he- said, "The effort through mass media and many organizations to motivate the study of Holy Scrip- ture is of great importance in applying the wisdom of the ages to the building of a more just and humane society today." National Bible Week is Nov. 21- 28. Cooperating with the Lay- men's Committee in sponsoring Bible Week are the American Bible Society, the U.S. Catholic ' Federation for the Biblical Apos- tolate (newly formed by the U.S. Catholic Conference), the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese's Depart- ment of the Laity and the Jew- ish Committee for National Bible Week. National Bible Week was foun- ded by the Laymen's National Bible Committee in 1941, its in- augural radio broadcast being in- terrupted with the news that Pearl Harbor had been bombed. Although it has been largely a mass media campaign, many civic, religious and youth organ- izations, libraries and book stores, mayors and governors participate in its observance. It is now held during Thanksgiving week to co- incide with America's only non- sectarian/religious holiday. The 1971 Bible Week media campaign again will be directed to youth.

From Brit Ivrit Olamit comes this Hebrew column about "Israeli Export." The column. in a translation from the Hebrew reads: Israeli goods "Made in Israel" can be purchased in all parts of the world. In many places there is a special demand for foods from Israel. The goods go a long way, from the factory in Israel until the store in Europe, the Far East or Africa. This long route is accompanied by many problems. It is necessary to pack the goods in a nice form, so that it will attract the eye, it must be sent by sea, or air, so as to reach the market in due time. Israeli cargoes must be well cared for, so as to reach their destination unharmed. These problems are common to all merchandiSe sold for export, although it is understood that there are special problems in all forms of merchandise. How great would the labor of each exporter and how large would be his expense, if each one alone would have to solve the problems connected with selling his goods in foreign lands. In order to ease the difficulties and improve the systems of export and all arrangements connected with it, the "Israeli Export Institute" was founded in 1958. This Institute was founded by the Ministry of Commerce and a group of exporters. It serves the exporters by guiding them and giving advice in all above mentioned problems. In addition to the guidance to exporting enterprises in Israel, the Institute has a: service of information and has connections with buyers in foreign countries. By establishing these _•connections, the Institute. assists-in exPanding the bus:mess means between Israel.and the countries of the world. These are the faces—people at work, contemplative poses, sages engaged in study-and the Hasidim dancing to express their joys and their faith. In Filmus we have a reflection of life in the Old World, the emphasis on dedication to the heritage of Israel, the labors in .which Jews have-found sustenance. There is a sensitiveness here that recaptures the spirit of an age which vidtnessed the - emergence of Hasidism and linked the labors to sustain life with the faith that sustains the spirit of Israel.
