Rabbl Lelyveld is Director of the Committee on Unity for Palestine for the Zionist Organ¬ ization of America, and is qual¬ ified to give the latest and most interesting developments during this critical period in Jewish life.
Since the announcement of the Donor Dinner speaker last Week, great enthusiasm about Rabbl Lelyveid has been evi¬ denced, as news of his growing reputation as a fine speaker has   reached   Columbus.
The Donor Dinner will be held on Sunday evening, Dec. 0, at the Deshler-Wallick Ho¬ tel.
All seats will be reserved, and it is urged that ohecks be mail¬ ed at once to Mrs. ' Slgmund Ornslein, treasurer, at 56 N. Stanwood Rd.
This is the seventeenth an¬ nual Donor Dinner of the Col¬ umbus Chapter of Hadassah. It was during her presidency that the idea was first present¬ ed to Columbus by Mrs. William A. Hersch, who served as first Chairman. Since that day, the Donor Dinner has increased in size, in Interest and magnifi¬ cence each year, and during that time, Mrs. Hersch has tak¬ en an active part In each ^vent. She is serving as Secretary for the 1945 Donor Dinner.
