Thomas I. Klein in Bloom-

of the menacing threats to
Israel's resistance in the

swer of strength in Jewry's
unity in Israel's behalf.
Dinitz addressed the
Michigan Chapter of
American Friends of the
Hebrew University, ex-
plaining the current needs
and indicating that the in
flationary obstacles have
created an emergency cal-
ling for greater support
from the organized forces in
behalf of the university. He

marking it in honor of
Emma Schaver.
Dinitz pointed out in
his address that the
founding of the Hebrew
University 30 years be-
fore the rebirth of Israel
into statehood was a
natural step because the
university was a neces-
sity in creating a spiritual
introduction to state-
hood.
He said he turned to the
Hebrew University for con-
tinuity of his services to his
country because of the cen-
trality of importance both of
Jerusalem and of the He-
brew University to the
strength needed to assure
the dignity and values of the
state that marked survival
of Jewish life and values.
In his analysis of the uni-
versity's services and ac-
complishments he told of
the need in Israel both to st-
rive for defense and security
and therefore the assurance
of military strength, while
holding the sword for de-
fense in one hand and up-
holding the legacies of
Jewish cultural and
spiritual values with the
other.
