'Next Year In Jerusalem' Chant To Be Realized
BY LOUIS D. HORWITZ JDC Director for Israel
"Leahanah Habaah Bljnrusbala- ' ylm"—Next Year In Jerusalem!...
In the for corners of the world do they stag out this prayer each year—with nostalgia, with hope, with anguish. In Israel It la sung with the joy of a people reliom. And, this Poasover there will be many o Rumonlon family In Is¬ rael which win taste ttiat "re¬ birth" for the flrat time In many yeara, which will sing this prayer in unison, loved onea finally re¬ united.
FOB INSTANCE, there la Genla H. who lived right In Jeru¬ aalem for eight yeara but found no joy In this prayer. For Genlo had been forced to leave her only child. And though she- continued to repeat the worda—"next year in Jerusalem"—they would have meaning only If her daughter from far-away Rumania could be at her side.
Now her prayers have been answered. Her daughter Rachel, Rachel's husband and baby ar¬ rived from Rumania with the new 'i| Immigration wove. Eight long yeara ago the Iron Chirtaln sud¬ denly abut down, aeparatlng aged parents emd children. On that day Genla, as well as the parenta of Rachel'a huaband, were on their way to larael, with the prom¬ lae of the Rumanian authoritiea that their children would follow.

They craned their necks and strained their eyea for the alght of their children as the boatload of Immi¬ grants pulled into the harbor. And then the little family ftaally came down the gangplank, Rachel hold¬ ing fast to her fat baby and her husband carrying the two card- boord suitcases. The meeting waa a tearful, excited, taJklng-all-at- once, joyous one.
The young family — huaband, wife and child—were aent to the new immigront aettlement ta Herzlia, a few milea north of Tel Aviv in the lovely Sharon valley. Genia took temporary leave from the old age home In Jeruaalem tn help her daughter get aettled. Rachel, who had been a achool teacher, would have to atudy He¬ brew Immediately 30 as to be able to return to her profession as soon as possible. Her husband, a 44- year-old cabinet maker, found part-time work ta a nearby fac¬ tory.
IT WAS DECIDED that until the family got on tjielr feet, Genlo would stay in the Malben- JDC old age home. But, just aa aoon as they were back to normal, adjusted and earning, they plan¬ ned to get a bigger apartment, one Torn to P»ie 4
