Tax Reform Act UJC Topic
have come off the press in
time to be included in the
exhibit of volumes of gen-
eral Jewish interest dur-
ing the Jewish Book Fair
at the Jewish Community
Center.
Included in the 75
poems in this volume is a
section devoted to Israel.
The other sections are en-
titled Seasons, Reflec-
tions and Occasions.
The Israel section be-
gins with "Return," writ-
ten in December 1947. It
was inspired by the soon-
to-emerge state of Israel.
In the Spring 1972, she
wrote this paean in honor
of "The Fighters":
The Fighters
If there's a task to tackle,
work to do,
it will be done. If there's an
obstacle
to overcome
under the sun, the seemingly
impossible
to win
it will be won. The insur-
mountable
becomes a challenge
they must meet,this breed of
fighter
who cannot
accept-defeat.
She was also moved to
give expression to Israel
the "Miracle":
Miracle
Out of
the multitudes
steeped in deep misery
Out of
the shattered remnants
of their dignity
Out of
a sterile soil
sprawled to a stagnant sea
Out of
its lifeless parched
GRAEME
FLOWERS
and hardened artery
Out of
destruction chaos
and catastrophe
Out of
contempt and prejudice
and enmity
This miracle
of Israel!

SMALL BEQUESTS
BUILD A
STRONG ISRAEL
If the tradition of including the Jewish
National Fund in the Will of every Jew were
invariably followed, sufficient resources would
be accumulated to ensure the future of the
young Jewish State on a sound basis of land
development, social welfare, and justice.
A bequest to the Jewish National Fund
should be as traditional as having a Blue Box
in one's home.
You may want your bequest to be
dedicated to afforestation, to a village, a
Nachlah, to a children's play area, to perpetual ,
yahrzeit or kaddish, or to some form of
permanent tribute in the names of persons
dear to you.
Consult the Foundation for Jewish
National Fund, 22100 Greenfield, 968-0820.
They will gladly co-operate with you in
'working out plans to meet your special
requirements, in strict privacy.
