His wife Ethel's name has been synonymous with that of Hadassah In Palestine and Israel since 1930. when she began to work with Ha¬ dassah aa a member of the Recrea¬ tion Committee. It waa not long before her talent for organization waa recognized and she was aaked to take on school luncheons and later the chalrmanahip of the Pal- eatlne Council of Hadaasah, a poat which she haa held for el^ht years.

maintain.      Rather,   they   make  of
their     home     a     gathering     place,
where  one  meets  everyone,  where
