The increase in production of 9TH

The citrus industry, which suf-

The strides taken during those
years have been conditioned by the
unprecedented influx of more than
100000 new immigrants who more
than doubled the existing Jewish
community of 65O,OOO at the time of
the Declaration of independence.
The last year has witnessed a
halt in this human stream. ISraePS
immigration policy as embodied in
the Law of Return, whereby every
Jew has a right to come to and
settle in the country, continues un-
changed. However, the great strain
put upon the resources available
for absorption by the preceding in
flux on the one hand, and the pro-
hibitive restrictions on potential
immigrants from Eastern Europe
on the other hand, have brought
about a marked decrease in immi-
grafton figures-a decrease which
began already in the middle of 5712
and continued into 5713.
The showdown in immigration has
afforded the government and the
nation an opportunity to consider
more calmly and under less pres
sure some of the basic internal is
sues facing the state.
IN FEBRUARY, 1852, the govern
ment, with the approval Of the
Knesset Parliament), introduced a
new economic policy aimed at COM
batting initiation, increasing produc-
tion and encouraging exports and
foreign investments. The total gov
ernment budget of the past year
including ALLEGATIONS for defense
was financed from current revenue
incomes, a measure designed tc
curb initiation.
Greater economy and efficiency
have been introduced into the ad-
ministration. On the recommends
ton of a cabinet efficiency commit
tee, about 5000 government en-
ployees-out of a total of 27,00O-
have been discharged within the
last few months. The Israel pound
has been brought in line with Its
real value. This devaluation stimu-
lates the foreign investor to import
the urgently needed foreign ex-
change and enables the Israel ex-
porter to compete on the foreign
markets.

Symbolism Of Holidays
DIVINITY|S
EMPHASIZED
BY RITUALS
By Harry Cushing
(Copyri1ht. 1858,

Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.)
RITUALS AND ceremonialS have
been for thousands of years part Of
the Jewish religion because of the
effort to bring the existence Of a
spiritual - and therefore invisible
God-before the minds of the peo-
pie. Because Jewish law forbids a
pictorial representation of God, the
Jewish people have developed an
intricate system of rituals, signs
and ceremonials as symbols and re-
minders of Gods omnipresence.
Viewed from that perspective,
many Of the customs which at first
glance seem to be relics of super
stitious period are actually the i'm
pressive signs of God Who Is
merciful, just and interested in the
works Of His creation.
The observances of Rosh Hashan-
ah and Yom Kippur are couched in
much symbolism and ceremonial.
There is much spiritual preparation
even before the actual celebration
of Rosh Hashanah. In fact, the
entire month of Elul, which pre-
cedes the Hebrew New Year, is
dedicated to special supplications,
and penitential prayers are recited
in the synagogue.
On the first day Of Elul, at the
end of the morning services, there
begins the blowing Of the Shofar.
The Shofar blast at the conclusion
of each mornings service signifies
that the season of penitence is near
The prayers in the synagogue are
said with deeper fervor. There are
extra Psalms to be recited. Pious
Jews put in more time studying the
holy books.
THE SOLEMNITY of the month
of Elul is evident especially in the
cemeteries where visits are made
to the graves of relatives and loved
ones. Visiting the cemeteries and
praying before the graves during
crises goes back for centuries. In
Chassidic communities it was the
custom to visit the graves of Chas-
sidic rabbis and leave slips of pa
per upon which were penned pc
titionS and requests.
The moral and spiritual worth of
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur
are hallowed institutions. Through
the lessons they teach they have
sustained Judaism's hope in world
that will bring closer the realiza-
tion of mans divine mission.

Singing of America Will Open
Glasses for New York PUPILS

York Board Of Education was
designed as a compromise in the
14-month-old controversy set OF
by the New York State Board OF
Regents in urging that classes be
opened with prayer.
The suggestion by the Board
Of Regents thus far has been
adopted by only 800 of the
States school districts.
Fear had been expressed by
many educators that formal
prayer in schools might be re-
garded. as contrary to the tradi-
ton Of separation of church and
state.

ended a conflict between board
members and community lead
