Dropsie University Saves Historic
Philadelphia Sephardic Synagogue
PHILADELPHIA — When
Mikveh Israql congregation
left behind its synagogue
last year at Broad and York
Streets to return to its origi-
nal site, it left the graffiti-
marked historical building
with a bleak future. The
only prospects for the syna-
gogue, located in a North
Philadelphia black neigh-
borhood, seemed to be con-
version into a funeral parlor
or possibly a black commu-
nity church. But now. a new
life has been assured for the
building, which shares a
common campus ground
with The Dropsie
University.
In spite of its own finan-
cial problems ' and hard-
ships, Dr. Leon J. Per-
elman. acting president of
Dropsie University,
announced that the famed
synagogue has been pur-
Builds Road
to Stalactite Cave
JNF
JERUSALEM (JTA)—
The Jewish National Fund
is paving a 1.5 mile road to
give the public access to a
stalactite cave in the
Judaean hills that was dis-
covered by accident 10
years ago. It is also building
a parking lot at the cave.
The cave has a chamber
276 feet long by 180 feet
wide and from 30-36 feet
high. The walls are covered
with thousands of multi-col-
ored stalactites.
Scientists Urge
Recital of Prayer
- JERUSALEM (JTA)—A
group of 100 scientist have
signed an advertisement
published in Israeli news-
papers urging everyone to
recite the "Shma Yisrael"
prayer twice a day as
required by religious law.
The scientists recom-
mended regular recital of
the prayer for spiritual
uplift in these troubled
times.
Rabbi Menahem Kasher
was the initiator of the ad
and a similar one at this
season last year which was
signed by 40 scientists.
Single Parent
Cases Up: Agency
REGO PARK, N.Y.
(JTA)—More than one-third
of the record-breaking total
of 9,123 families coming to
the Jewish Community
Services of Long Island for
help last year wer single
parent families, according
to Irving Reier, JCSLI
president.

WASHINGTON (JTA)—
Bnai Brith officials have
reported a membership
chairman's dream has
come true in North Dakota:
every eligible Jewish boy
and girl in the state is a
member of the Bnai Brith
Youth Organization—"all 41
„of them."
chased and will provide a
new facility for the post-
graduate university. Drop-
sie is the only non-
theological, nonsectarian
institution of its kind in the
United States completely
dedicated to the study of
Hebrew, Biblical and
Middle East languages and
cultures.
"In spite of our own
pressing needs. the univer-
sity's Board of Governors
felt a deep sense of commu-
nity responsibility that this
beautiful edifice, which was
the home of the second old-
est synagogue in the United
States, be kept and main-
tained within the confines of
the Jewish community,"
said Dr. Perelman. "The
history of Mikveh Israel has
been closely connected with
the history of the Jewish
community of Philadelphia
as well as its physical close-
ness with Dropsie Univer-
sity. The board felt so
strongly about maintaining
a proper character for the
building that three of its
members guaranteed the
bank loan required to pur-
chase the building."
Mikveh
Israel,
the
nation's oldest Sephardic
congregation, was originally
founded around 1740, when
Pennsylvania was still a
dependency of the King of
England. It moved to the
Broad and York St. site at
the turn of the century. Dr.
Cyrus Alder, the first presi-
dent of Dropsie University
who was also a president of
Mikveh Israel, was chair-
man of the building dedica-
tion exercises on Sept. 14,
1909.
A North Philadelphia
landmark for many dec-
ades, it is a one-story, fire-
proof limestone building in
neo-Roman style with Ionic
columns to enrich the
facade facing Broad St. It
was included with the Drop-
sie University buildings
when the complex was
entered several years ago in
the government's National
Register of Historic Places.
Dr. Perelman. in
announcing the purchase,
said a special committee of
the Board of Governors will
evaluate the university's
expanded facility. and fol-
lowing much-needed reno-
vations and accom-
modations, will recommend
future uses for the building
by the university.
The Mikveh Israel congre-
gation left the Broad and
York St. building last year
to return to its original site
at 4th and Cherry near the
city's historical sites area.
Dulzin Expresses Worry Over
Argentina Jews' Assimilation
RIO DE JANEIRO
(JTA)—Leon Dulzin, treas-
urer of the Jewish Agency,
said here that "anti-Semi-
tism in Argentina worries
me less than growing
assimilation."
Dulzin, who had visited
Argentina and Uruguay
before coming here, said
that one-third of all Jewish
marriages in Argentina are
mixed marriages and that
the 20 percent of the chil-
dren attending Jewish
schools there receive a very
poor education in Yiddish-
keit. He added that 80 per-
cent of the children receive
no Jewish education at all.
Dulzin, who is the Likud
candidate for the chairman-
ship of the Jewish Agency
and World Zionist Organiza-
tion Executives, said that he
is willing to negotiate with
the Labor Alignment the
composition of the future
Executives, but that he
would not forego campaign-
ing for the post of
chairman.
Dulzin appealed to the
Brazilian government not to
grant permission to the
Palestine Liberation Organ-
ization to open an office in
Brazil because the PLO is
an international terrorist
gang.
Meanwhile, in Buenos
Aires, messages of greeting
Jorge
from President
Rafael Videla and President
Ephraim Katzir of Israel
were read to 300 delegates
attending the three-day Sil-
ver Jubilee Convention of
Argentine Jewish commu-
nities. The deliberations
focused on such topics as
social assistance, Jewish
education, cultural and wel-
fare activites.
Videla congratulated the
Federation of Jewish Com-
munities of Argentina on its
25th anniversary.
Tay-Sachs Spot
Gains Exposure
NEW
YORK From
August, 1976 through July,
1977 the CBS, ABC and NBC
networks contributed an
approximate total of
$469,850 worth of television
air time to publicizing Tay-
Sachs disease prevention.
The 30-second public serv-
ice announcement, pro-
duced by the National Tay-
Sachs and Allied Diseases
Association, Inc., is
designed to inform individ-
uals of child-bearing age,
particularly those of Jewish
ancestry, of the urgency
and necessity of testing and
genetic counseling for Tay-
Sachs disease. The com-
mercial provided the lis-
tener with information on
where to obtain further
information concerning
such prevention services.
The 30-second commercial
was also distributed to and
televised by the local sta-
tions in the 25 largest TV
markets across the United
States.
