WOODWARD, BIRMINGHAM about a boy who could not read and therefore could not pray, but who was moved by the spirit of Yom Kippur to express himself. He did it in the synagogue during the Neila service by whistling. It interrupted the sacred service. But the rabbi rec- ognized the spirit that moved the boy and he told the congregation that even a whistle, when performed with sincerity, reaches the VIDEO PARTY PACKAGES • • • • • COMPLETE LEGAL 8 MEDICAL TAPING • BAR MITZVAHS WEDDINGS INSURANCE • SHOWERS • REAL ESTATE SALES ADVERTISING FOR ALL BUDGETS TOTAL VIDEO SERVICE pilaw: 559-2255 FOR AR you: vicko PaEds!

They are stopped by the bedraggled Yossel who pleads to be taken to the services. They shove him offend order him to the barn — the cattle must be cared for. Yossel does not touch food or drink, he does his work and towards the end of the day he plays a special tune on his reed pipe. Reb Meir and his sons are aggravated by the length of the service. They are anxious to end the day's praying. When the last blast of the Shofar is sounded. Reb Meir asked the rabbi why the service was pro- longed and the reason for its final ending. The rabbi said it was a tune on a reed that moved him. Upon reaching their home, Reb Meir saw Yossel carrying the reed and he be- came aware of the lad who had reached the Almighty although he was unable to attend synagogue services. That's when Reb Meir, over the prOtests of his sons, re- pented and invited Yossel into his home to break the fast, in spite of his unclean attire. Thus an old tale is well retold, and "Yossel's Prayer" is an inspired tale, with the added attractions of the many drawings de- - pitting the Yom Kippur services and the motiva- tions by Michael J. De- raney. Both author and illustrator have splendid records for their previous works. Assimilation Rampant Among Argentina's Jews JERUSALEM (JTA) — Only 30 percent of Argenti- na's 300,000-member Jewish community is asso- ciated in any way with Jewish organizations, ac- cording to Yitzhak Golden- berg, and adviser to the Jewish Agency on Latin American affairs. Goldenberg, who immig- rated to Israel from Argen- tina seven years ago, at- tributed that situation to the high rate of assimilation among Argentine Jews. He briefed the World Zionist Organization Executive last week. Goldenberg said the fact that unemployment in Argentina has reached 40 percent coupled with var- ious political limitations, affected Zionist activities among Jewish there. He suggested the promo- tion of investment schemes in Israel by Argentine Jews through the creation of eco- nomic committees that would work with the local zionist federation.
