Mr. Melton Describes Passover Services in Yavnah Colony
.(Note: This is another in¬ stallment in a series'of articles as told to the Ohio Jewish Chronicle by Mr. S.- M, (Sam) Melton of Columbtls, relating the highlights of his recent trip to Israel, where he began the construction of a manu¬ facturing plant, designed to operafe an' Integratea pipe fabrication plant such as Mr. Melton's local plant—the Capi¬ tol Mfg. Co. of Columbus—'but on a lesser scale:
,_ Upon arrival at the Gat Rlm- mon Hotel In 'Tel-Aviv, I was . pleaaafttly surprised that thei-e ' were two Invitations for roe to spend Seder nlglTls at Kibbutz Yavnah- and alsp' at Kibbutz Sheve, the latter being a colony
devbted exclusivelylO the train¬ ing of orphans. Children from infants Ip t;een-age were raised Knd educated at this colony.
I latei^ had the pleasure of visiting at the colpriy Sheve, but I, primarily, was ipfluenced to accept the invitatibn to Yavnah because Herbert Eaton's bro¬ ther was a' member of the Yav¬ nah Cbiony and, naturally, Herb¬ ert was ¦ anxious to spend the Seder nlglvts with his brother. Without my knowledge, Mr. Eaton made arrangements with Mr. Sugarman, who formerly was with the Jewish Agerjoy^lp Israel,' to pick us up- at ifie nptel and deliver us to Yavnah. He sept .his youthful driver,'a vet¬ eran of the recent war, who In- trodiiced us to a Mr.! ^Itsghuler, who \yas sitting beside him.
Mr, AUschuler had been living
among the Arabs of the Negev for the last'25 years. He spoke., their tongue, lived with them, and wass. known, in all their vil¬ lages. Altschuler purchased land
for the Jewish Agency at very attractive flgm-es during, his ac¬ tivity among'Hhe Arabs.
He  is  Just  one  of  the  many coloiful chuacteis one meet§ in
Israel eVery day.
As we    drove    southwest through  the iilmpst undamaged streets of Tel-Aviv, we were told tContlnnea on r^ge 4}
