Impressive Ceremonies at Jalfa At
tended Event of Great interest
TO Hebrew

Jerusalem, Feb. 13-Restoratiol
of the Parchment Scrolls Of the Law
to the various synagogues in Tc
-Aviv and Jaffa was one, OF the inter
esting ceremonies which fcl!cwet
the British occupation.
These scrolls of the law of Moses
which are all written by hand and
are preserved in magnifcently orna-
mented cases, some of them in solid
silver, are the most sacred and holy
possessions of every Jewish commun-
ity. So when Diemal Pasha III his
hostility to the Zionists, carried out
the tyrannicai evacuation of ne bulk
of the Jewish population OF Jaffa in
April. 1917, the Jews carried With
them these sacred T'oran into exile,
lest they should fall into the hands Of
the Turks.
These sacred scrolls had been care
fully guarded by the Jews at pciach
Tikvah (AIuiebbis) and were brought
back in solemn procession to JalFa, A
triumphal arch was erected at the
northern confines of Tel Avis, every
houso was decorated with flowers
and bunting and the whole of the
Jewish population turned out en- fete
to meet the return of their sacred
possessions. Jews came not merely
from Jaffa but also from Rlchno-le
Zion and the other neighboring colo
MES.
The young men and the girls of
the Maccabee Athletic Association,
dressed in white clothes, with blue
sashes and ties, maintained orde"
and kept a pathway clear for the pro-
cession through the crowds. The pro-
cession was headed by the Australian
Military Band and the ceremony at
the triumphal arch was attended By

Commission.

THREATS CAUSED PROHIBITION

"Prohibition is not the real senti-

trouble in Congress- he added. ais
That many members have yielded to
the threats of narrow gauged people
who are intent on making other pee
pie do as they want them to. Many
congressman who voted for p-ohibi,
ton like their liquor, but they lack
the kardihood to stand up against
abuse. Prohibition is contrary 20 the
best interest of the people at large.

chases here, and that the men appre-
ciated the kindness and hospitality
shown them by the c.llZens OF thls
