Zion's Independence to be Hailed at Pincbik Concert Sunday
^ silence, and hearken, O Isrnelr^^ls day thou nrt be-, como a iiattonli;—Deut: 27:29. An occurrence matchingf In importance tlie presentation- of the Torah to the .Jewish people In the-desert some 4000 years ago is taltlng place this Sunday in the Holy Land;
On that day, Israel will be re¬ born! Zlon redeemed! And a Proclamation confirming this mi¬ racle will be broadcast to ali the -world as witness to this grand and noble event!'
Of all the Jewish organization.'? in the city devoted to the rejuv¬ enation of the Holy. Land fate has chosen Junior Hadas.sah to be in the fortunate position to psreslde at the observance of this historic happening in Our home town.
For months no-\v the Juniors have advertised a concert by P. S. Plnchllt, the world's foremost cantor, and wonder singer of the age. This great interpreter ot Jewish, song and prayer is sched¬ uled to appear on the same day
as the Proclamation of the Re¬ demption of Zlon!
To make the concert part- of an experience Ynore moving and exalting even than hearing a great artist at his best, the Jun¬ iors have decided to strive to have every Jewl.sh person In Co¬ lumbus present In one place to¬ morrow evening (Sunday) to hear Zion's Declaration of Inde¬ pendence proclaimed, and give thanks to the Almi^ty for His gracious goodness In restoring the Promised Land to His people
again!
To make this possible, the Jun¬ iors have decided to open wide to ali the people of the city the doors of the Bexley High School auditorium, where Can¬ tor Pincbik is to sing. Naturally the spen.sors, patrons, and those \ybo nave purchased tickets for the concert will be protected by having seats reserved for them. The Juniors feel that It is their holy duty to do what they can to have every Jewish adult In our  midst    participate    in  the
ceremony of reading out of exist¬ ence the cruel nightmare of per¬ secution, degradation, and anni¬ hilation which has been our fot for 2000 years.
U is an event of great weight and moment. Be there with us when, elated and refreshed, we pronounce together:
"Blessed Art Thou, O Lord, Our God, King of .the Uni¬ verse, Who Hust Kept Us In Ufe, nnd Hast Presonrod Us, and Enabled Us to Reach This Great Day!"

A stirring example of In¬ creased giving was vividly dis¬ played this week at every Divi¬ sion meeting of the United Jew¬ ish Fund In behalf ot the 1948 drive;
At the various luncheons and dinners, Increases ranging In some instances up to 100% over those of last year's wrote a glorious chapter in the lUe of the Columbus Jewish com¬ munity. Such liberal giving and such fine Increases' in pledges should assuredly give 4nspira- tlon as well as provide a pow¬
erful stimulus to the ottier Jews of Columbus who, beginning next week, will be called upon to giv# to ttie UJF as they never have given before.
These were the words spoken this week by Leo- Yassenoff, chairman for the '48 drive, whp stressed' the fact that only thru greatly incriCaged pledges of GDlumbus Jewry can this "Des¬ tiny Drive" go over the top with flying colors.
Each and every one of us should follow the example of these early subscriptions, so that
the Herculean projects of recon¬ struction and rehabllit^lon In Europe, and the. stupendous tasks of defense, bf ponstruc- tion, and of advancemerrtlri. Pal¬ estine can be achievecl' success¬ fully.
Let us give III- suqh a man¬ ner that we may look back with pride at having had a goodly share in the greatest '(humani¬ tarian project of recoi^tructlon In the history of ouc. .people. "What you do this year," Mr. ¦yassenoff stressed,^"wlii decide the   destiny   of""^ews   every-

Now I wonder how so much hope, so mucfi life, so much courage can'be sustained on so 1 it tie. I feel privileged and hupable to be part of this over- I whelming program."
When Herman Luekoff made Columbus his home some I'i years ago, little did he realize that he was as.sumlng -an equal responsibility In guiding the destinies of our Jew^ish com¬ munal  life  here.
That he had accepted the obligation as an American and
fa loyal Jew was proven hy e numerous liberal contribu¬ tions he made to every worth¬ while cause in this community, Jewish and non-Jewish.
He has evidenced deep-rooted devotion to all worthy endeav¬ ors, his interest stemming both from memories of , his arrival here as an immigrant boy- who had to make his way up the ladder to success as well as from his anxiety to see Jewish suffering relieved and the home¬ less provided for. The United Jewish Fund.is one important project  which  received  Mr.
