Beth Jdcob Banquet
The errilnent Dr. Morris Mark of Cincinnati will be the hbnor- ed guest at Beth Jacob's big In- stalllatlon banquet Sunday, Feb. 18, according to thq announce¬ ment made this week by Rabbl Leopold Greenwald of the B. J. Congregation.
Dr. Mark recently returned from a trip to Israel and sev¬ eral European countries, where he found a spirit of Indiis'try and optimism In the new. Jewish state. This he contrasted - to a hopelessness of conditions In Italy.
He did much of his traveling in Israel on foot .so that he could learn—fir.st hand — conditions there. "It's)' a little Un.lted States," he" declared. "Ev&ry- where you see construction work un<ler way and other evidences of progress. Public .schools are In operation, pattern¬ ed after ours; even the Arabs have opportunity to attend clas.ses free, with ,Arab teach¬ ers.'"
Dr. Mark was impressed by the military might of the new hatlon, which "demands, and gets, respect!"
During his Journey there. Dr. Mark took some 2400-ft of film As a highlight of his appearance at the Beth Jacob affair Feb. 18, Dr. Mark will show these mem¬ orable films — a treat which members of the Congregation should make a "must."
The ei;,tire program for the In¬ stallation ceremonies and dinner program will be announced in subsequent Issues of the Chron¬ icle.
