PANORAMA
'LOVE IN THE SUMMER TIME'
BY PAVID SCHWARTZ
(Copyright, 101(4, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.)
Near where; I presently sit, are two young people on a parif, bench. They are engaged in the excrclae.of an ancient Instftution—love-making. Nothing has ever been said about love better than was aald in the Bible:
"Many waters cannot quench love, neither can a flood drown it" So strong is It that Jacob was willing to toll twice seven years for his beloved Rachel.   It con Inspire.   David was led to valorous feats by his love for Michale.
It can melt the strong pride of racialism and outlast even death. Ruth is bereaved of her husband but the glow of this life remains and she clings to Naomi.   "Implore me not to leave thee . . . whither thou
goest 1 will go . .."
It can be mightier than cannons or statesmanship in tlie saving of a people. Ahasucrus determines on the destruction of the Jews, but Esther points her finger at Ha- man. "He seeks to destroy my people." Just one sentence and tho sentence of doom against her peo¬ ple is lifted!
Yes, love ia stronger than death; .many waters cannot quench It; neither can the floods drown.it

Yet how weak It is. Ammon de¬ fies the most stringent code to get Tamar, but no sooner does he get her than his love is changed to de¬ testation. How often we see this in life. Passion may evaporate with the suddenness with which It gathers and overpowers.
Love can ruin. Solomon, oc- oordUig to the rsbbls, was led from the path of reotltnde by- love. And he yvas tbe wisest of liien. Perhaps Solomon tried to spread It out too thin. Love de¬ mands concentration.
Love can degrade. It led King David to so foul a deed aa to direct that tile husband of Bathseba be placed In the front line of battle that he might be killed. Its ways are mysterious. It Is the servant who picks the "bride for Isaac and he guages not by beauty but by kindness. He will stand at the well and beseech the young women coming with their pitchei^s for water.
Rebecca approaches. When he asks her for water, she not only gives him water but asks whether she may give water to his animals.
iBaoic and Rebecca were very happy with one another. Perhaps loving kindness is a better cement than  sex  appeal.
But there are no easy guages. God In Heaven, say the rabbis, spends his time making love matches, but he finds that more difficult than performing the mir¬ acle of splitting the Red Sea.
l.ove's greatest strength Is evidenced by the foot that it can survive all the derogatory com¬ ments made aliout It
The wife of a famous r^bi once complained that women were not given their just rights. She said it was noted in tbe Talmud that It was because of the virtue of the Jewish women that Israel was re¬ deemed out of Egyptian slavery.
"You haven't the full story," sold tho rabbi. "The facta were these. When the Jews prayed to God, to redeem them out of E3gypt, He re¬ plied that according to schedule they were required to suffer two hundred years of serfdom. The women thereupon pleaded with Ood. 'Lord,' they said, 'don't worry about their suffering two hundred mqre years. We women )Vlh Bee to that'"
Maybe the rabbi was Just josh¬ ing.
Anyway, the couple on the park bench seem not to be entertaining any such thoughts.

"ARAB BOYCOTT SPURS ISRA£U INGENUITY"
(Intermountain Jewish News, Denver) From his retreat at Sde Boker, former Prime Minister David Ben. Gurlon has given  us a new Insight into the growth of the State of Israel.   Writing in the Yiddish Day-Journal, Ben Gurlon says:
"Israel Is not only losing but also gaining because of tbe failure of the Arab States to make peace with the Jewiah State. Israel's Inability to trade with its Arab neighbors has affected Israel's economy adverse ly, to be sure, but it has also„ forced the people of Israel to utilize all their resources and all their ingenuity to produce' wealth of their own. A great many achievements In agriculture, trade and commerce would never have been attained were It not for the pressure of the Arab boy¬ cott which necessitated the use of every Inch of soil and the employ¬ ment of every device to increase our Industrial output"
in Columbus, a workers party was held at the home of Mrs. Fred Yenkin on Aug. 24. At that time, Mrs. Sanford A. limen and Mrs. Samuel Luper, past presidents of the local chapter, explained to the workers the importance of Increas¬ ing the number of people enrolled In Hadassah to support Its pro¬ gram of rehabilitation, education and health In Israel. Of equal Im¬ portance is the role of Hadassah in the U. S. to keep -American Jewish women aware of their heritage and helping them to be Informed of It.
During this week and thru Tues¬ day, Hadassah women will call on prospective members to acquaint them with the Hadassah story and to ask them to join their ranks.
Special thanks are given to Mrs. Tlmen, Mrs. Luper, Mrs. Getz, Mrs. Fred Yenkin, Mra. W(lllam Was¬ serstrom and Mrs. David Gold¬ smith for their efforts to assure the  auccess  of this  campaign.
