League of Bnai Brith as part
of the celebration of Israel's
25th anniversary.
The ADL paperback traces
the history and development
of the aid program through
which Israel has sent some
4,000 advisers to 80 African,
Asian and Latin American
countries and has trained
some 15,000 men and women
programs within Israel itself. •
The book was written by
Robert Slater, a former news-
paperman in this country who •
emigrated to Israel where lie •
is now a freelance journalist.
The author pictures the
uniqueness of Israel's aid
program, particularly coming
from a nation surrounded by
hostile neighbors and con-
fronted by a mass of interna-
tional a n d domestic chal-
lenges.
From its inception, the
ADL book relates, the Israeli
aid program has given the
Jewish state a reputation for
generosity, intelligence and
efficiency.
The author points out that
the forces which motivated
the creation of Israel's for-
eign aid program are psy-
chological, strategic and, to
some degree, messianic.
Herzl on Judaism
I do not know if we shall
ever succeed in witnessing
our liberation from shame
and trouble. But it is pos-

are wise and determined.
One think I know: the very
fact that we follow this path
will make of us new men. We
are recovering the internal
unity which we lost and, to-
gether with it, a grain of
character, i.e., our own in-
dependent character. Only
