They Work
In Israel Too
By ANTONIA SEIXAS

henOVOtn-
E'You know why I'm sett-
ling in Israeli" laughed an
American newcomer. II want
to get away from all the fund
raising drives, volunteer work
for Israel, sewing, bundles,
baZaarS, teas, and talks. I've
worked hard for Israel. Now
I'm going to be on the re
ceiving' end"
Of course she was only
teasing and just as we'll. Be
fore she could get her carpets
down she was up to her neck
in Embarrassing drives, vo1un-
teer work, baZaarS, teas, and
talks. She had contributed
money to, and joined, the An
ti-TuberculoSiS League (for
which she was asked to help
organize a benefit tea); the
Association of Zionist Wom-
en- (Who asked her to help out
in a ma'abara sewing center) +;
she had contributed to, but
not joined, the Working Wo-
mems Council, which was
holding a countrywide drive
for the ma'abarot. She had
paid various sums to, and re-
ceived mysterious receipts
from, several bearded gentle
men representing Orthodox
charities, and had been tag
ged" on the street for a var
iety of other worthy causes.
Her husband contributed,
via his monthly pay-check, to
the J.N.F., the Foundation
Fund, the Hebrew University,
and the recent National Loan
to alleviate unemployment.
On every cup of coffee drunk
in a cafe she paid a tax to
local social welfare funds; her
father-in-law, as a property
owner, contributed another
"forced-loan" for unemploy
ement relief projects.

Dear Editor:
land to the members of the
Tucson Jewish Community {:
We, the members of the
Young Adult organization of
the Tucson Jewish COmmu-
nifty Center, have been in
formed that the directors
have decided to remove Sam
Brodsky, program director at
the Center, because of the
fact that the Center would
require someone whose capa-
bilitieS could cope with a
larger scope of activities. In
asmuch as Sam Brodsky has
proved to be very capable,
very efficient and loyal and
born leader among all
classes of people, we feel that
in all fairness to all concerned
he should be given an oppor-
tunity to show how we'll he
can accomplish the Objectives
brought before him. We ask
that all voice their opinion.

The haraSSed American
Zionist may be forgiven if he
occasionally envies the Israeli
who "has only to live there;
if he sometimes wonders
what the Israeli himself is do
ing which draw so heavily
on Zionist energies, consci-
ences, and purses. But the
fact of the matter is that, pro
portionately, the average
veteran" Israeli contributes
about as much as the average
Zionist; and the HadaSSah
member, trying to fit volun-
teer work for Israel into her
busy schedule, is, perhaps, a
little better off than the Is
raeli member of a volunteer
women's organization, for the
mechanics of life are more
difficult in Israel.

Letters To
The Editor
Dear Editor:

l and another woman of the
community had the pleasure
of being invited to a bond din
ner of the businessmen of
the city. The evening left me
with mixed feelings. The food
was excellent, the people were
jovial. The speaker was a
tremendous personality. But
something basically was lack
ing.
After the need for buying
bonds was fully explained
just as if anyone needed to
be reminded of the great need
for buying bonds-there was
an absolute silence; no one
wanted to make the first
move. Then finally someone
turned around and said, Lets
first see what the women are
going to do" Since when do
our Jewish men wait to see
what his neighbor is going to
do or give? And where were
all you other businessmen?
1 come from a rabbinical
family. We were taught to
love our men and, with our
children, to look up to our
husbands and fathers as the
leaders of the community,
standing side by side through
thick and thin-serving ever
as an inspiration to higher
and nobler accomplishments.
This is the basis of a sound,
happy JEWISH family life.
And it didn't end there! We
were taught to look around
us. We didn't say that our
neighbor's troubles weren't
our business. If Joseph lost
his job, the whole town went
out job-hunting until Joseph
had a job. We saw that people
were clothed and fed. There
was bond between all of us
and our neighborS, and we all
became as one-made for a
wonderful JEWISH commu-
nifty. That is one of the re-
SponSibilitieS of being a Jew.
No one looked around to
see who was going to be the
first to make a move to help
Each person felt his own re-
Sponsibility and each one
made his own move according
to his ability and pocketbook.
And now we are called upon
to look across the sea to our
brethren and 'EretZ Israel. "
If we want to save Israel, we
have to buy bonds NOW.
For two thousand years we
have been roaming, stagger-
ing from pillar to post, beg
ging for recognition and a
haven of refuge for our
brethren and Cd has been
good to us! In this twentieth
century Cd has seen fit to
grant to us the privilege of
statehood. We are now on the
threshold of losing this if we
do not respond to the call and
buy bonds. Are we going to
stay complacent and hold
back now? If we do we will
once again-having sinned-
become wanderers on the face
of the earth, and we Jews viii
not be able to lift our heads
to Cd and cry, eli, Eli, La
mo azovtonu, Why, Oh why,
Cd, hast Thou forsaken US?"
We will know that we haven't
stood by our brethren and
haven't shown a great desire
for the promised land. And
there is a good chance of los
ing EretZ Israel.
If we were to add up the
sum total of the business
brains in Tucson, we would
find some of the finest bust
ness successes in the country.
And any businessman knows
that a 4 per cent bond is good
security. You know you aren't
giving anything. You are buy
ing bonds for a 4 per cent
good investment and for the
