TEXT OF FAREWELL STATE
MENT BY CHIEF RABBI
HERZOG
"My visit to the United States
on behalf of the United Jewish
Appeal has left me with two
firm convictions:
Firstly, American generosity
and sympathy were eloquently
demonstrated time and time
again in every city which l visit
ed to appeal for contributions to
the United Jewish Appeal to aid
us in Israel in our task of alb
sorbing the homeless.

For Fathers Doy

At st. Nicholas Park at 2 P. M.
The Ben Gurion Young Judaeans
will play their fathers soft ball
game.
Ben Cohen, Adult Leader of
the Club will give a cigar to any
father who makes a home run.
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1949-06-17

"Secondly, the American peo-
pie are strongly devoted to the
cause of world peace and world
justice.
"This was my first visit to the
United States since 1941, when
America, together with the rest
of the democratic world, was en-
gagged in a life-and-death strug-
gle with the forces of tyranny
and Godlessness At that time,
left the United States convinced
that the people of America were
determined to wage an about
war until justice and peace had
prevailed.
II am leaving the United
States now, with supreme con-
fidence that the American peo-
pies devotion to the principles
of peace, justice and humanitar-
ianiSm have not lessened.
my visits to the Jewish COM
munities here have given me
fresh evidence that American
Jewry can make a great contri-
button to the welfare and ad-
vancement of it's brethren over
seas, not only in the form of
funds, but in a spiritual sense.
American Jewry comprises the
largest body of Jews in the
world. Together with the new
state of Israel, with which Amer
lean Jews have spiritual and cul-
tural ties, 1 am confident that
they will carry out to its ulti-
mate successful conclusion our
joint endeavor to provide a home
and haven for the hundreds of
thousands of Jews in Europe and
North Africa who wish to come
to the Jewish state.
"I deem it great privilege to
have had an opportunity while
in the United States to meet with
your great President, who i'm
pressed me as man devoted to
the age-old principles of our
common religious heritage. The
world today is sorely in need of
a return to the basic tenets of
the Bible. 1t is our hope that we
in Israel, the birthplace of the
Bible, will be able to build a
state which will give spiritual
sustenance to the entire world.
I'm our first year of existence,
we have sought to put the prin-
ciple of brotherhood into effect
by throwing wide our doors to all
those of our brethren who need
ed a home and a homeland. We
were enabled to do this as re-
suit of the aid given us by A
mericans through their support
of the United Jewish Appeal.
But our job is not yet completed.
Hundreds upon hundreds of
thousands still need and want
to come to Israel. Nearly 1000
enter every day. We require
continued financial assistance to
receive help and shelter these
people. I am convinced as re-
suit of my observations here dur
ing the past month that such as
siStance will be forthcoming.
my heartiest blessings from
Zion to the people of the United
States"

PLAIN TALK
BY Alfred Segal
THAT MR.. HILLEL AGAIN

THAT Mr.. H1LLEL AGAIN
Mr.. Hillel called on me again.
ge is the Mr.. F1illel Of the Hillel
Widget Corp. which earned ST.
100000 net last year. That should
ave him some authority. he said
laughinglY.
He remembered that the late
Mr.. Ford was universally re-
spected as great authority when
ever he spoke on any and all
subjects, simply because he made
and sold SO many Model Us.
And why shouldn't he, Mr.. Hillel,
be equally respected when he
hands down an opinion? Look,
said Mr.. Hillel, whereas Mr.. Ford
sold only a million or so cars in
a year, he, Mr.. Hillel, made and
sold fifty million widgets last
year.
He is the Mr.. Hillel who. when
ever he tires Of gathering in the
profits from widgets takes rest
by writing a column for me.
This week was one of the times
when MIR. Hillel was feeling
awfullY tired of .widgets and had
written a column.
Would I, he asked, please print
this column. It had to do with
drives for contributions. He said
that if l mentioned how many
widgets he had sold last year and
how much the profit was, his
discourse on drives might carry
greater weight.
Mind you. he added. I'm not
Dragging. Money doesn't mean
much to a man when he is taking
in more than he can ever use.
Its like beefsteak. One beef
steak is all right but what can a
man do with two or three at a
meal?"
Mr.. Hillel thought that with
his authority it was about time
to say something about all the
drives in current Jewish life. He
pointed out that if I myself said
the same thing, I wouldn't get
much if any attention.
For. after all. Mr.. Segal. who
are you? Let's confess it. You
are an inconsequential guy who
hasn't been able to accumulate a
lot OF money. In plain. language
you are a shlemiel. since you are
content to drive one of the cheap
er cars instead of Cadillac. and
you don't belong to a country
Club and your wife doesn't wear
mink"
She has only Persian Lamb,
poor thing, I said.
Therefore Mr.. Eillel decided he
would say it all himself in this
column. How well he knows that
everybody in the big hotel ban
quet hall hangs on to his every
word when he gets up to speak.
= because of his fifty mil
non widsets per year.
All right, Mr.. Hillel, have
your say"
This is Mr.. dillel's column:
l. Mr.. Hillel, am sick and tired

corp, you know

making of drives has become a
procession. a vested interest. A

have seen all. Some
of them have been changed and
as they are, the things take on
a new interest and seemingly
a new glow. There are many
schools of thought about an
other exhibit next year. Those
who have diligently brought
this one to such a fine climax
think that twelve months will
be too soon, while those who
have stood at the windows
and enjoyed the exhibit with
out the work, think it should
be repeated every year. In any
case all are agreed that there
should be some time set apart
for the showing of the fine
things that people have, and
make the most of it. There are
few who would part with their
treasurers permanently so that
they might be deposited in a
museum, if there were such, so
the present display is the one
way for many to enjoy, with
the owners. the old and the
beautiful.
