Today it is generally accepted that the future development of any country depends on the standard and technical skill of its labor force. That was not always so. Particularly among Jews the
"message" of ORT was in the nature of an inner revolution: in prewar Eastern Europe where the prevailing type of Jew was characterized as "Luftmensch," ORT propagated, and worked for a
return to manual skilled latort as the best means of economics and social advance to greater independence of the individual, enabling him either to become better integrated in the society in which he lived, or to face the future more securely should he decide on emig. rating to another country.
In the post-war period ORT's entry into North Africa and some

On Sabbath nights, in many Jewish homes in Canada, a decanter of Mazel Tov wine finds its place on the starched tablecloth, right beside the challah.
Mazel Tov is a wine with a taste you'll 'remember', a ruby red, richly sweet 'kiddush' wine made of Concord grapes grown in the vineyards of the Niagara Peninsula.
Mazel Tov made 'Kosher l'Pesach' under strict rabbinical supervision,, is available throughout the year, for every "simcha".

countries of the Middle East greatly assisted in the transformation of the economic position of the Jews in these countries, by instituting vocational training for the young in such' trades as became available as a result of the economic and political developments these countries were undergoing.
Finally, ORT's contribution to Israel's economy during the last ten years or so is generally recognised as being of the utmost importance, in preparing the skilled workers required by the steadily expanding industrial enterprises in the country.
One aspect of the work of ORT which is not sufficiently stressed but cannot be stressed enough is that, besides purely technical training, it provides higher general education for its pupils and graduates, as an integral part of the curriculum in each of its various branches.
The guiding principle here is that a skilled technician must know much more than the particular job he is asked to perform, and the more he knows the better he will be at his job � quite apart from the fact the tasks he may be asked to perform are much more varied in developing countries, whose industrial equipment is mostly imported and, therefore, of the latest up-to-date standards.
In other words, the man at the bench or at the wheel in a modern, progressing society must be a man of knowledge. In this respect, as in many others, ORT is pioneering a new � one is tempted to say, a humanistic � approach to the problem of technical education.
ORT thus acts as a unifying factor, raising the cultural standards of backward communities and bringing the more advanced together � not by preaching abstract ideas, but by putting into practice the ideals of the dignity of labor, and of social progress through work and education.
While the purely humanitarian aspects of ORT's work should not be under-estimated � the immediate effect, for instance, of increased earnings when the younger members of poor families acquire a skilled trade � its long-term aims and functions are by no means exhausted.
There is still the need, even in some Western countries, of propaganda for technological education among Jews as the more promising and more practical for the younger generation.
There is still the need for providing opportunities to tens of thousands of young Jews in Asia and Africa.
And as far as Israel is concerned, to which ORT is devoting an increasing share of its efforts and resources, there is still an immense amount of work to be done in the field of technical training in order to maintain and to increase Israel's industrial potential. Moreover, by providing technical
