Salute to Israel The New Year's Edition of the Jewish Press is dedicated to the 10th Anniversary of the State of Israel. Tlio greatest achievement of the infant Stale is one which can be chronicled in terms of human beings. During the ten years of its existence, Israel has admitted more than one million refuses, from lands of oppression ond discrimination, from the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe. These people, fleeing in search of a home and a haven, found Israel's gates the only ones open to them. It was in Israel that more than a million of tired and exhausted refugees—survivors of Hitler's extermination camps, escapees from massacres and persecutions in Arab countries—found it possible to rebuild their lives and regain the hope of a better future for themselves and their children. Omaha Jewry has played its proper role in the historic drama of saving a million Jews, and making it possible for them to secure a haven free of persecution and destruction. Through the funds raised by the Jewish Philanthropies Campaign, the major fund for rescue and rehabilitation of jews—the United Jewish Appeal—received support with generosity characteristic of the Omaha Jewish Community, steeped in the tradition of Philanthropy. Through unstinted support of the Israel Bond Campaigns, and other Israeli causes, Omaha Jewry assisted Israel in its program of industrial development, to enable it to receive the Immigrants and refugees, knocking at her gates.. That Israel has survived the first Ten Years, and has achieved the kind of progress and development which amazed the entire world, gives us the hope that this infant state will surv've, and crown its achievements by becoming a THIS IS ISItAEL'S STATUE OF MllEItTY—Visitor* to Israel will h? able to sco tlio history of this safe and secure home for her ancient nation at n glance by studying the-sculpturo of. .this bronze Monorail or candelabra which two m i l l i o n inhabitants, a stands In Jerusalem.
