Describing the problem as one -
which has only recently come to
the public-- notice, Judge Adams
declared that one of every 10 Am-
erican Jews now is 65 or older
and that vast numbers of the aged
Jews-live on subsistence incomes.
He added that the pride of
such Jews, which, bars them
from seeking help, or their ig-
norance about available sources
_ of help, prevent many of them
from applying for aid from pri-
vate or public sources. He said
in Philadelphia, particularly in
neighborhoods once Jewish but
now decayed, there were pockets
of old Jews living in poverty
or in terror.

HISTORY
IN 30 DAYS.
Our 30 day Israel/Africa Holiday Tour will
take you from the beginnings of Jewish history
right through to Jewish history in the making.
You'll fly El Al from New York to
Israel. And trace the birth of Jewry from its
desert origins to the Jerusalem of David and
Solomon. The Dead Sea. The Dead Sea Scrolls.
Masada, where the Jews made their final stand
against the Romans in A.D. 73. Acre. The
hill-town of Safed and Tiberias on the Sea of
Galilee. Unforgettable sights and experiences
that bring the Bible to life. Yet your accom-
modations and tour transportation throughout
will reflect the ultimate in modernity of this
exciting, energetic, young land.
Then El Al will fly you to South
Africa. Johannesburg. A city with a tremen-
dous Jewish community, rooted in the Jewish
tradition and deeply identified with Israel.

Containing its own Jewish Museum. And
home of The Great Synagogue, the proud and
revered landmark of the city's Jewish com-
munity. A community that has made outstand-
ing financial and spiritual contributions to the
young Israel. You'll visit Cape Town, spread
along the coast like a jeweled necklace, setting
of the oldest synagogue in Southern Africa.
And exotic Durban on the edge of the Indian
Ocean. Cullinan, sight of the world's richest
diamond mine. And Kruger National Park,
world famous game reserve. Home of the lion,
elephant, giraffe and rhino. Again accommoda-
tions and tour transportation are as comfort-
ably modern as anything you'd book at home.
By the time you fly to Paris or London
on South African Airways to catch your El Al
flight home you will have experienced sights
and sounds and history that span 7000 years.
And will stay in your memory forever. Don't
let the past go unseen and undiscovered. Come
with El Al for 30 days or 21 days. And catch
up on 7000 years of history. Our history. In
Israel and South Africa.
