University, Weizmann Institute of Science,
Technion Israel Institute of Technology

side effects in trials.

Fellow
ixty-seven years ago this
month, the United Nations
approved a resolution for the
creation of a Jewish State. On Nov. 29,
1947, the U.N. General Assembly voted
33-13 in favor of a resolution calling
for the area called Palestine to be par-
titioned between Arabs and Jews. This
partition of Palestine would allow for the
formation of a Jewish State. Shortly after
the U.N. General Assembly passed the
resolution, Britain announced the termi-
nation of its Mandate over Palestine.
During the period of transition, the
United Nations appointed five rep-
resentatives to rule the Jewish State
in Palestine: Bolivia, Czechoslovakia,
Denmark, Panama and the Philippines.
On the eve of this historic announce-
ment, many parties were held in Detroit
and were reported by the Detroit Jewish
News. Congregation Shaarey Zedek's
