Have You Paid Your 1961 Pledge To UJFC?
Alvln E. Schottensteln, Colum¬ bus Chairman, State of Israel Bonds, and Mrs, Schottensteln; and Mrs. Milton T Leeman, Wo¬ men's Division c lairman for Is¬ rael Bonds accepted an Invitation to attend a special national board of governors meeting on Monday evening, May 29 at the Warwick Hotel in Philadelphia, at which Prime Minister David Ben-Gurlon of Israel was the featured speaker,
Schottensteln said that the Prime Minister stopped off In Philadelphia to address the spe¬ cial meeting, which had been ar¬ ranged earlier in the month, to mark the completion of the first decade ot the Israel Bond pro¬ gram. The Columbus campaign will officially begin this Tuesday evening, June 13, with the "Israel Bar Mitzvah Celebration" at the Deshler-Hilton.
IN (CONCLUDINO his remarks, the Prime Minister stated "I know that we have not yet reach¬ ed peace and tranquility. All the Immigrants who have come have not yet been fully absorbed. There are Jews in a number of countries who await and are In need of Im¬ migration to Israel. The gates which are at present closed In the lands of emigration will open up sooner or later.
"Our peace and security are not yet assured. The greater part of qur State Is still waste and wilder¬ ness. We see clearly the difficult tasks ahead of us and we are fully aware of the dangers which may be in store for ua. However, we have come to know the tre¬ mendous strength Inherent In the Jewish people which has revealed itself In Its fullness In our ancient homeland. The profound faith In Its redemption and renaissance, deeply rooted In the soul of Jewry for hundreds and thousands of years, was for a long period of time a latent and passive force,
"IN THB LAST century this faith has assumed a new form, the form of auto-emanclpatlon. In the wake of the social and nation¬ al struggles of liberation in those IJuropean countries In which 80 percent of the Jewish people lived at the close of the 19th century, the faith of the Jew In his own power was reborn. That wonderful faith which expressed Itself for so many centuries In preferring
martyrdom to surrender to su¬ perior physical force, now as¬ sumed an active form.
"It now began to express Itself In terms of creative pioneering. A people revived Itself In Its own country, In the very landscape of Its ancient origins; It accomplished the re-birth of the Hebrew lan¬ guage so long considered dead; its sons returned to the soil, and to all fields of productive labor; they created a Jewish defense force; they set in train a process which culminated In the founding of the State of Israel, the Ingath¬ ering of the exiles In the founding of the State of Israel, the In Ingathering of the exiles and their Integration.
"All of our efforts and hopes In Israel rest upon two pillars—1. the message of our prophets, of brotherhood, peace among the na,- tlons, justice and liberty; 2, the discoveries in the spheres of science and technology.
"THE PROPHETS taught us what we must do and It Is from science that we learn how to do it I-have the fullest faith In our pioneering undertaking: the In¬ gathering of the exiles, the con¬ quest of the desert and of raising human dignity. All this will be a pillar of strength to the people of Israel, a source of pride and love to every Jew In the world, a fac¬ tor for prosperity In the Middle EJast and a shining example for all  mankind,
" 'Fear not, tor I am with thee. I will bring thy seed from the eaat, and gather thee from the west. I will say to the north. Give up; and to the south: Keep not back; bring my sons from far, and ray daughters from the end of the earth'."  (Isaiah 43/6-5)
" 'I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Nations'." (Isaiah 42/6)
