poses. 1t can be divided into two
large rooms by the use of Modern

he is spending a year of work and
study on a fellowship granted by
the American Zionist Commits
sion, Ted Hollander, of Brooklyn,
former national president of Sc
nior Young Judaea, said:
Israel desperately needs our
help in solving its many prob
lens. And we need the profound
stimulus that the youth Of Israel
can give to our work and lives as
American Jewish youth. Our re-
lationship must be reciprocal if it
is to have meaning"
Highlights of the three-day
event, held August 80 through
September /, were celebrations of
the 4Oth anniversary of Young
Judaea; and addresses by Nor
man Schanin, executive director

Miami Moy Be
Site Of Israeli
Consulate

If the letter-writing cam
paign. now being waged by
Rep. George A. Smathers
achieves results, Miami, Fla,
may be the site of a new Is
raeli consulate. The Florida
Democrat has written Israeli
Foreign Minister Moshe Sha-
rett in Tel Aviv, asking that
a consulate be opened in Mi
ami. Smathers pointed out the
value that consulate would
have in view of Miami's large
and active Jewish community,
many members of which are
in the resort business which
Israel is struggling to build
up. Israeli economic experts
are doing their utmost to en-
courage American resort in
vestors to build hotels to house
the flood of tourists expected
in Israel in coming years.
The consulate might also
service travellers from South
America and Central America
for whom Miami is the aerial
gateway to the United States.
Israeli consulates are now es-
tablished at Los Angeles and
New York.
