In a celebration filled with joy and sadness, 43 boys, sons of soldiers who fell
in the Six-Day War and subsequent hostilities, were feted in the sixth annual com-
munal Bar Mitzva. Immediately after the war, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Mena-
chem M. Schneerson, instructed his followers in Israel to contact each of the families
who had lost a member in the war. One of the resulting activities has been the Luba-
vitch Youth Organization's preparation of the boys for Bar Mitzva and arranging all
the festivities. The one just held in Kfar Chabad, the Lubavitch village near Tel Aviv,
was attended by more than 5,000 including the families, prominent rabbis, govern.
ment and military officials. The boys were received by President and Mrs. Ephraim
Katzir, shown, in Jerusalem. The boys were showered with numerous gifts, and a
pair of tefillin for each from the rebbe.

NEW YORK — Remember

We recall reading not so
long ago, that there were
only six Jews in Siam.
Imagine that! Not enough
Jews even for a minyan! And
how can a country get along
with only six Jews? What
does such a country do
for doctors? A country with
so few Jews can't even have
anti-Semitism.
Now, as we learn, there is

song in Jerusalem.
