Remember the Negev— A New-Old Tradition
Guest Editorial by Dr. S. Margolese
FIFPf years have passed since the death of Theodore Herzel. It is fitting indeed that Jews the World over, including Jews in our own community pause to reflect the man and his times, and especially the events in Jewish life since the inception of modern political Zionism.
Whatever strife within the body politic of Vewry, whatever trials and tribulations and problems of impibssible magnitude that have arisen in all thosie years/ one bright shining light glbvyred with increasing brightness,, the Jewish National Fund. Through war and peace, through depressions and prds-perlty, the JNF carried on, building, devdoping and adding land, lai;rd purchased at times for outrageous sums, but sorely needed. ' . , -
Here, is truly a project in Jewish life that transcends one is beyond all political ramifications. However one may feel about any organized institution within the framework of Jewry he can have no disagreement with the aims and actions of the Jewish National Fund. It is safe to say that without it and the tasks it has fulfilled the problems of the establishment of a State of Israel would have been multiplied a hundred-fold.
To bring sUch a theme to the Vancouver Jewish Community Is the purpose of its first Negev dinner. To commemorate the.50th anniversary of Herzel's passing and to pay tribute to those men in our own comniunity who havis given of their time, skill, talent and leadership, as chairmen of our United Jewish Appeal Campaigns to see to it that Vancouver accepts and fulfills its responsibility locally and to Israel is surely worthwhile.
Vancouver Jewry can look forward with eager anticipation to the opportunity of listening to Rabbi Reuben Slonim, outstanding and dynamic leader on the Canadian Jewish scene. Let us stir ourselves from the lethargy that seems to grip our community at times and attend the first Nepev Dinner on Moy 25. And for those who can, what better opportunity to commemorate a family simcho or remembrance.

WELFARE BUREAU THANK-YOU
May I avail myself of your column to bring to the attention of the community the help tha we received this Passover, in bringing cheer and goodwill into the home of those less fortimate than ourselves. I know that to many, it comes as a surprise that there is ttie need, but they do not take into consideration that the Community is growing rapidly, and that with this growth comes added responsibility to the needy.
First of all, I would >like to thank Rabbi Kogen for taking over the visiting of liie prisoners. He visits them before Rosh Hash-onah, and again before Passover, and brings back reports of their needs.
To Mr. Chas. Isman, and to Mr. Abraham Shuer, my very sincere thanks for making it financially possible to do our job. These two gentlemen worked tirelessly, and all I can say is, that I hope they continue their terrific help in the collecting of the Moess Chittim.
A vote of thanks also to Mrs. Ella Northy, of the Council of Jewish women, for her share in the actual labor involved, and last but not least, to all those who remembered the ancient tradition of Moess Chittim, the sharing of the good things of life with others. (MRS.) JESSIE ALLMAN, Jewish Family Welfare Bureau.
