AN ANNIVfRSARY
THE iUBAVITCH REBBE
BY BEN RAMEN
Jewish history on the Arneri-can continent is relativiely >"oung. Hardly can it. compare with the rich and colorful past of Eurojjean Jewry * which spans over a thousand years. Yet, by a twist of fate, the roles have changed.- While in Europe the number of Jews have diminish ed (and correspondingly their iaifluence and independence), their American brethren have matured quickly and are progress, Ing rapidly to fill as mijch as' possible the gap created by the terrible holocaust.
Interestingly enough, An^erlca, the home of an affluent society, has become a source not only of the bread of financial assistance but also of the word of God, of Torah and halakha. Within the last quarter-century, the number of Yeshivot and Day Schools has risen tremendously, it is estimated that there presently are over 75,000 children attending Hebrew parochial schools and rabbinical seminaries. When one compares with the meager hundreds during the thirties, one can grasp the vast change in thought and attitude.
Strangely it was soon after the arrival In the United States of the late Lubavicher Rebbe. Flal)bi Joseph Isaac Schneer-shon. in the spring of IWO. that Day Schools and Veshivot began to mushroom. Rabbi Schneershon wa.s a man
iously. Merely two days after having escaped the burning walls of tiie Warsaw Ghetto, he founded a new Lubavitcher Ye^ Shiva and ■ educational network on the grounds of the New Worlds
In accord with Hasidic traditions. Rabbi Schneersohn saw in his escape the finger of Divine Providence. Often would he emphasize that he did not come to America to save himself. His ten years in America showed that he had come to save others, to help save American Jewry from spiritual decay.
Today when t^>e light of Torah brightens hundreds of Lubavitcher , and other institutions of traditional Hebrew education, and when thousands of English--speaking youths hover over the hundreds of-thousands of copies of Jewish texts, history books, educational magazines published by the Lubavitcher movement, this is in great measure due to tlte tirele-ss efforts of the late Lubavitcher Rebbe.
Rabbi Joseph Isaac Schneersohn (whase fourteenth anniversary in pa.ssing is being observed in the Torah world) was a living embodiment of the Jewish-traditional ideal: unison of Torah scliolarship, saintlines.s and impiementive concern for llip welfare of his brethren.
If American Jewry has ma tured .so much so quickly, it is
Robbi Joseph I. Schneersohn of Lubavitch 5(,40 - 5710 (1880-1950).
partly because it had the pnvi- j whose vision and action were I jp^re of having the Lubavitcher i coupled   ideally   and   Harmon i Rebbe for its mentor.

By Dr. Raphael S. Weinberi;
My association with Camp Moshava began only last year. After a few days on the premises, I was convinced that the camp catered to the finest "clean cut" element of children that I have ever dealt with.
Moshava is an orthodox camp dedicated to the principles of Torah and Religious Zionism. We do not teach or indoctrinate in our beliefs; we live them and try to set an example. Let me jost describe our educational program in all its ramifications.
The camp endeavours to integrate the Hebrew language into  its  daily  routine.  .'^11 announcements  over   the   Public { bath experience at Moshava can Address system are made both j not be justly described — it must in Hebrew and in English; all, be experienced.
