standing abilities as a Biblical
scholar have been recognized by
the National lladassah Executive
Board, for whom he has led sem
inars, as well as the Brooklyn,
northern New Jersey, Massachu
setts and I.ong Island Regions.
Hadassah is a founding mem

the service if its own members
the learning and experience of
renowned scholars
The Southeastern and Southern
Regions of Hadaisah have as

light of Hadassah’s continuing
role on the American scene in
furthering and deepening Jewish
education for the creative and

life.
Israel Bonds
—from page 1
funds for Israel’s impressive
economic growth.”
Dr. Schwartz emphasized that
the redemption of the first Israel
bonds issued twelve years ago
would begin on May 1st and that
during the ensuing months of
1963 the Israel Treasury would
pay out in principal and interest
the sum of $24,500,001) to Amer
ican holders of Israel bonds that
mature this year. Israel bond
holders will receive $150 for
every $100 they invested ir. 1951
“1963 as the first year of re
demption testifies to the econom
ic coming-of-age if the State of
Israel and to the lact that aid to
Israel is not a one-way street but
a two-way highway of give and
take, faith and performance be
tween American Jewry and the
people of Israel,” Dr Schwartz
said.
Abraham Feinbeig, president of
the Israel Bond Organization, re
ported at the conference that a
total of $58,125,650 was realized
from the sale of Israel Bonds in
1962. He pointed out that this was
the largest amount ever sold in
any single year of the existence
of the Israel bond drive. Of this
sum, $46,428,500 came from sales
in the United States; $3,859,100
from Canada; $4,319,550 from
Latin America and $3,518,500
from Western Europe. In 1961
the total sales of Israel bonds
amounted to $57,214,300.
Israel Amiiassador Avraham
Harman, addressing t h e confer
ence, underscored the continuing
need for economic development in
Israel as a basis for the prompt
and effective absorption of new
immigrants and for the realization
of Israel's full potential as i free
and creative nation. In this con
nection he stressed the signifi
cance of Israel bonds as a pro
ductive partnership between the
people of Israel and the Deople of
other lands.
Sarquel Rothberg, national cam
paign chairman who presided at
the closing session, said: “We
must never forget that the money
that has come into Israel through
Israel bonds lias been the back
bone of economic revival, in
trade, in housing, in the exploita
tion of natural resources, in the
development of industry and agri
culture, in the absorption of the
great numbers of immigrants who
are continuing to enter. Israel
could not possibly have come out
of its economic swaddling clothes
without the very substantial aid
that Israel bonds have provided.
Leon H. Keyserling, the noted
American economist, told the
Conference that “the overall eco
nomic growth rate of the State
of Israel in real terms has aver
aged probably the highest of any
country in the world." He assert
ed that the Israel 'economy is
being built on sound foundations
and termed its growth “doubly
significant because it has emerged,
not under the last of dictatorship,
but under conditions of political,
economic and human freedom."
Characterizing the forthcoming
redemption of Israel bonds as
"still another landmark in the
coming of age of the Israel econ
omy,” he pointed out that the
growing purchase of Israel bonds
in this country “reflects the na
tive sympathy in the United
States for the problems and pur
poses of Israel and their relevance
to the worldwide struggle be
tween freedom ind authoritar
ianism "
On the occasion of his 79th
birthday, tribute was paid to I)r.
Silver for his distinguished
leadership in behalf of Israel. A
birthday gift consisting of the
first 15 volumes of the Hebrew
encyclopedia being published In
Israel was presented by Dr
Schwartz who hailed Dr. Silver’s
place of eminence in the Amer"
lean rabbinate and in the move
ment for the establishment of the
State of Israel. Dr. Silver will
also receive the rest of the vol
umes of this work as they come
off the press.
"The central thread of Dr.
Silver’s life,” Dr Schwartz stress
ed, “the driving purpose of his
existence has been the militant
espousal of the cause of a Jewish
State, which he lias served with
vision, indomitable will and cour
age, and a great and incompara
ble gift of oratory
"If American Jewry has
achieved a high degree of matur
ity, if it has learned to assume
its full share of responsibility for
the well-being oi the State of
Israel, if it lias carried the bur
den of rescuing the surviving
remnants of Euroepan Jewry, it
it stands now as the central force,
together with the people of Is
rael, in determining the future of
the Jewish people, much of that
achievement can be credited to
the life and work of Dr. Silver
who now enters the septuagenar
ian ranks," Dr Schwartz said.
