48 Friday, September 23, 1983 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Technion's Technological Achievements Viewed Major Aims in Israel's Progress Constantly recurring O13s--= tacles, including damaging aspects of warfare, have not interrupted the notable achievements of the Techn- ion, and they continue to emphasize the progress in Israel's record of scientific and cultural progress, former Israel Supreme Court Justice Joseph Landau stated on a brief visit here last week. Judge Landau, who was the presiding judge of the three-man tribunal at the trial of Adolf Eichmann, conferred with Detroit offi- cers and board members of the Detroit Chapter of the American Technion Society. When he was Haifa dis- trict judge some 25 years ago, Judge Landau was chairman of the Technion 250Ames„ lip ALL INVITATIONS leni ANNIVERSARY 1 DEBORAH'S INVITATIONS Created Just For You Personalized Cocktail Napkins $9 per 100 DEBBIE GOLDFINE WEISSERMAN 537-1490 Curaforum which served as an advisory board to the Is- rael Institute of Technol- ogy, the university that has since then retained the ac- colade of matching the U.S. MIT in the entire Middle East.

JOSEPH LANDAU ment in the world society. Conceding the obstacles caused by wars, notably the current Lebanese situation, he added that while stu- dents either interrupt their studies while serving in the army, and as reservists, teaching proceeds, learning is aspired to and the Israeli higher institutions of learn- ing are treated with great respect. This, he said, is evident in the student body of 22,000 in the seven-branched in- stitutional university that is represented in Technion, including the elementary department. Judge Landau de- plored the yerida, the exodus of numerous Is- raelis from Israel in re- cent years, but he foresees a drastic change, as evidenced by recent developments, many returning to their Israeli homes. The devotion to the cul- tuial needs and anxiety for uninterrupted progress has kept Technion tuition fees on a low level, Judge Landau said. He expressed the hope that assistance in expand- ing and developing the Technion with generosity from American Jewry will be as uninterrupted as the Israeli devotion to learning and contributions to sci- ence, as well as in literary and spiritual aims, and be veritable boons for world Jewry and for mankind. Judge Landau has served on the Israel Sup- reme Court since 1953. He received his law degree in 1933 from the Univer- sity of London. In the same year he arrived in pre-state Israel and entered law practice. In 1940 he was appointed by the British government as a magistrate in Haifa. During the following years he was active in the Hagana. With the estab- lishment of the state of Is- rael, he was named judge of the district court in Haifa, the main court in the north- ern part of the country. His elevation to the Supreme Court in Jerusalem came in 1953. Judge Landau was first elected chairman of the Technion's board of gover- nors in 1956 and re-elected in 1959. Last year he was again called to head the board. Midrasha Opens Registration The Midrasha-College of Jewish Studies is taking re- gistration for its fall semes- ter of courses.
