Jerusalem the leden- dary, Jerusalem the golden; the goal, the center, the shrine of three of the world's major religions. Ever since it was stormed and taken by King David in 1000 BCE the city has inspired pain- ters, poets, prophets, and pilgrims, not to forget-the philosophers and politicians with their visions of peace and dreams of empire. "Now, in this unique book, Jerusalem is the in- spiration for paintings by children from 43 countries. Children and Jerusalem — what a delightful and origi- nal combination! "As I looked at the paint- ings I saw a hundred mir- rors in which the universal dream of Jerusalem is re- flected ins wonderfully crea- "I wonder, are these the little children who will lead us?

"Cherry trees blossom in Jerusalem in the painting of a Japanese boy; there are Jerusalems inhabited by American Indians, Mexican farmers and Renaissance madonnas; Jerusalems with landscapes that call to mind Tahiti, and Africa, old Vie- nna and the Baghdad of 'A Thousand and One Nights.' "One cannot fail to be im- pressed by the artists' sin- cerity and optimism, their joy and faith, and by the dreams of peace and fellow- ship that are the underlying message of these paintings. Witness one in which an Argentine girl winningly depicts a dream of herself as a beauty queen, showering her beauty of spirit-sand largesse in the form of hearts over the Holy City, and a valentine to peace by 12=year-old Avigal Matalon of Israel which expresses the universal dream of Jerusalem united. "As UNICEF's official ambassador-at-large to the children of the world, it is with pride and affection that I congratulate all the contest winners, and thank all the talented young people who submitted their paintings. - Wish their friends & relatives a year filled with . peace and health A Happy New Year to all our friends & relatives ISADORA & JERRY HELFMAN' and FAMILY AUBIE & ROSELLA - COOPERMAN LOUIS and FLO BLOCH Nathan, Leonard, Alan, Leah, Mani & Michael wish all their family and friends a year of health and happiness Hopp 1 .
