Israel Bonds   Committee  Plans Appeal During High Holidays
The coming high holy days will be made the occasion for a special appea/ in the temple and synagogues of Coijimbus in behalf of the sale of State of Israel Independence bonds, according to plans announced by Ahe Wolman, ehairman of the Columbus Bonds for Israel campaign.
A call for such a drive has been issued by Chief Rabbi Isaac H. Herzog, of Israel. Mr. Wolman has made public his urgent message, reading as follows:
"I ACCLAIM WITH JOY the appeal now being launched In the synagogues for State of Israel bonds. The State of Israel ia un- doubtedly the work of special divine providence and Is certainly a state tn the process of the redemption of larael.
"It is of special importance precisely on the holiest days, Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur, that the Houae of God should qcho^ this great living proof of the provldencjB of God, our State of Israel.
"JEWS AND JEWESSES, rise to the very heights of this wonderful historic junction in aid of the miracle of history, the State of Israel!"
The sale of Israel bonds was initiated on,Ahe high., holy days last year in many cities throughout the V. S. and-Canada. Reports re¬ ceived by Mr. Wolman indicate thut in the atmosphere of the inspiring holy day services, Jewa throughout America responded generously ~to the call.
"We hope (o show our brethren In Israel that the Jews of Co¬ lumbua are no less confident of Israel's future than those in other American communities," Mr. Wolman said. "This is an investment that will pay dividends  not only in dollars., but in  human lives."
