Devoted   tn American and Jewish Ideals
Ora Vcred, the Yemenite gtrl who represented Israel in the Miss Universe contest held recently, is a slight, dark 18-ycar-old beauty who before coming to the U. S. two weeks ago on the El Al Israel Airlines Constellation, had never left her native land.
A contrast to many professional models, the new Misa Israel lives quietly with her parents and a brother and sister in a two- room cottage in the courtyard of a Yemenite school In Tel Aviv. She uses a minimum of mai<e-up and until the time she won her title had never worn a pair of hlgh-hceled shoes.
In the picture she presents Major Yehuda Koppel, the head of El Al's American branch, with a toy giraffe she brought with her on the first lap of her 9,000 mile journey.
Jewish Problems Reviewed by Goldmann at World Jewish Congress Parley in London
LONDON, (JTA* - A three-day European session of the World Jewish Congress opened here with delegates from 15 different countries participating. The main address at Sunday's session was made by Dr. Nahum poldmann, acting president of tbe W.J.C, who reviewed the position of the Jews of the world. He told the delegates that the follow- ing three facts dominated Jewish life today:
1. The destruction of European Jewry. Dr. Goldmann .said that it would be some genertftlons yet be¬ fore the full impact of the havoO wrought by the Nazis Is felt, and many decades would pass before Israelvcould malte up the loss of the spiritual creativeness of Europ¬ ean Jewry. Even American Jewry is feeling the lacii of leadership and ideas which once flowed tram Cen¬ tral and Eastern Europe, he said. He warned that the danger of dis¬ integration- of Jewish life and as¬ similation ia greater today than it was 15 or 20 years ago.
2. The international situation, in which the world is split Into two blocs. Although this has created a "distLStrous situation" for the Jew¬ ish people, Dr. Goldmann said, he could not see what could be done to achieve joint action with Jews in Eastern Europe. He reported that none of the Jewish groups in that area which were affiliated with the W. J. C. had officially disaffiliated.
3. The emergence of the State of Israel. This situation had created some new problems, the W, J. C. head declared, but unlilte other matters affecting Jewish life these problems could be solved by joint action. He warned that it is not yet possible to solve the problem of re¬ lations between Israel and Jewry abroad, but said It could create a new division In Jewish life. He pointed out that the Jews in Israel had a tendency to develop their life on different lines than Jews else¬ where. But since the Israelis were *'in the feood sense of the word egotistically minded," Dr. Gold¬ mann declared, they might over¬ look the problems of Jews abroad.
. Referring to the problem of en¬ larging the Jewish Agency, Dr. Goldmann told the delegates that there were no formal or legal ob¬ ligation on the part of the World Zionist Organization to enlarge the Agency and the non-Zion lata had never taken a stand on this Issue and that if the Zionists did decide to Invite the non-Zionists Into the Agency, "it would take somo tlm^ to achieve."
