too threatening.
The mob had invaded and oc-

Jewish Broadcast
Slated For Sunday

AS its next feature presenta-
ton, the Eternal Light will offer
"A Dreamer's Journey, Joseph
Mindel's radio dramatization of
the story of Morris r. Cohen, re-
vered professor of philosophy at
New York's City College, who
died two years ago. The script
will be broadcast on Sunday,
June IL, 1949 (NBC network,
1890 100 P. M. .DST) accord
ing to an announcement by the
Jewish Theological Seminary of
America, under whose auspices
the program is conducted.
Throughout his lifetime, Nor
ris Cohen, philosopher, critic and
teacher, was intent on the end
less quest for the truth. His
quick mind and sharp, impatient
tongue taught thousands to think
more deeply and to speak with
prudence. "a Dreamer's Jour-
ney" reveals how the wisdom and
dreams of the past flowed
through him and emerged as a
living force, to shape the lives
of his students and friends. In
the words of Professor Cohen,
Forgotten machines can be re-
built and ideas re-discovered, but
dreams must be passed on or they
are lost forever"

ment in the factories and farms
of their new homeland.
These are the problems which
have impelled Mrs. Myerson to
leave her important post for a
few weeks to urge full American
support of the UJA. She brings
with her the greetings of the
Jews of Israel who have never
wavered from their determination
to make their land a haven for
the homeless and oppressed. We
are confident that American Jews
will respond generously and un-
stintingly to Coda Myerson's ap-
peal for aid through the United
Jewish Appeal in the achieve
ment of ISraeps heroic goal.

Through the long years when
the Jewish state was nothing
more than a dream, Coda Myer-
son worked increasingly to make
Palestine a homeland for Jews
who had no other place to go. In
war and in peace, before the
Jewish state and since its crea-
ton, she has inspired the people
of her country with faith and
courage that their hope for free
dom and security would be real
lied.
Mrs. Myerson has played key
role in the developments which
eliminated last year in the estab-
lishment of the Jewish State.
Named Chief of the Political De-
partment of the Jewish Agency
(forerunner of the Israeli Gov
ernment) in Jerusalem, in 1916,
she filled that crucial post in the
critical years following the end
of the war. Subsequently, she
was Administrator of Jerusalem,
Immediately after the creation OF
the Jewish State and only wo-
man member of the Provisional
Council of the new state. Re-
Gently she returned from, Mos
cow. where she was Israel's first
envoy. to the Soviet Union.
AS Minister of Labor and Re-
construction, Mrs. Myerson has
the difficult task of absorbing
into the economy of the country
the newcomers now pouring into
Israel. And it is in connection
with this job that she has come
to the United States.
More than 220,OO0 Immigrants
have entered Israel in the year
since the state was established
and they continue to arrive at the
rate of 1000 a day. Approxlm-
ately 10000 live in temporary re-
ception camps. Ten and twelve
men. women and children are
crowded into open tents on the
bare ground. The people OF Is
rael count on our aid through the
United Jewish Appeal to help
provide this vast number OF new
corners with decent homes, prop
err food and clothing and the OPP
portunity to find useful employ

ia leader of the Jacksonville
Jewish Center, has been appoint
ed member of the Rabbinical
Assembly's four man mission
which will undertake study
of the religious resources of Is
rael which can be applied to the
strengthening of Jewish life in
America, it was announced to-
day by Rabbi David Aronson, AS
sembly president. The mission,

vention of the Rabbinical Assem-
bly, which will be held between
June goth and June 25rd at the
Concord in Kiamesha Lake, New
York. The discussions at the
conference will center on the
theme of the Demands of the
New Diaspora."
The mission to Israel represents
another aspect of the Rabbinical
Assembly's world service for
Judaism which, during the past
two years has sent other mis-
sions to Latin America and to.
western Europe.
Chairman of the mission, which
will also seek to learn how Amer
lean Jewry can contribute to-
ward the religious revival of the
new state, is Rabbi Ben Zion
Bokser, spiritual leader of the
Forest Hills Jewish Center in
New York City.
According to Rabbi Aronson,
an extensive study of the current
conditions of religious life and
religious institutions in Israel will
constitute one of the principal
tasks of the mission. During the
month which the members will.
devote to their study, the mission
will explore the relationship be-
tween organized religious bodies
in the new state and will conSid-
err the problem of religious liber-
ty in the political framework OF
its development.
Other members Of the mission
are Rabbi Maxwell Farber Of
Emanuel Congregation in Phil
adelphia and Rabbi Ralph Simon
of Congregation Rodfei Zedek in
Chicago.
