A Tribute on His 50th Birthday
Avraham Harman Avraham Harman was born in London in 19M, the son of a Rabbi of Eastern European origin. As a student at Oxford University during the thirties, Avraham Harman was known as a dynamic youth, with oratorical and organizational ability. He frequented Zionist meetings, conferences and discussions. In 1935 "Abe" Harman visited Israel for the first time, and in 19:J9, after graduating from Oxford, came to settle there. He was sent by the Zionist Organization to Johannesburg, South Africa to serve as Secretary-General. While there, he married Zina Stern, a native of i^ondon. Upon their return to Israel, the couple settled in Jertu salem. As head of the Jewish Agency's Overseas Youth department, Harman initiated the drataiatic idea that Jewish youth visit Israel for several months, to be imbued with the spirit of the land. Because ot Harman's inspiration, this movement has developed from a few individual visits, to yearly pilgrimages of thousands of boys and girls from the United States, England and Western Europe. Many of them return again and again, and a significant proportion finally settle in Israel. With the founding of the State of Israel in 19-19, Avraham Harman was appointed head of the Government Information Agency. In a short time he won the sympathy of foreign correspondents and the local press. In 1949 he was named Consul General in Montreal. A year later he became head of the Israel Press Office in New York, and Advisor to the Israel delegation to the United Nations. He then was elevated to the post of Consul General at New York City. As Consul General, his service was marked by unusual success. He quickly earned the reputation as nil understanding man of integrity and an expert in Jewish public affairs. He often acted as liaison between various Jewish groups and endeavored to interpret to them Israel's problems and policies. Upon his return to Jerusalem, Avraham Harman served as a director of the Jewish Agency. Here too'-he was marked as a man of imagination and devotion to the concepts of a Jewish State and its realities. Since 1950, Harman has been serving as Israel's ambassador to the United States, where he" continues his devoted service. The Israel Foreign Office values his work highly. He is known as a diplomat who can maintain calm thinking in critical situations—a trait of importance in any statesman. Avraham Harman has spent 15 faithful years in foreign service, and looks forward to returning to Israel. It is felt that his many years of experience has equipped him to be a valuable addition to the governmental body of Israel upon his return. . To Avraham Harman on his 50th birthday, a heartfelt "Mazeltov." May the next 50 years be as successful as were the first! (Adopted front "Hadoor" American Hebrew v/eskly, by Pabbt Mlcrioel Senders)

United Nations N. Y. UTA)— The-United Nations Security Council held its sixth session this week on the Israeli-Syrian clash of November 13 and adjourned without taking action. The session featured a stern denunication of Israel by the Soviet representative, N. T. Fedcrenko, who charged that Israel undertook "provocative actions" leading to the chain of events placing the issue before the Security Council. He asserted that Israel committed a "massive violation of • Syrian "airspace" when it sent jets in to attack Syrian gun and tank positions Wiiic'i were shelling Israeli vtl* lages in the border area, He ac-
Eshkol Displeased With Debate in Security Council
leral chairman of Ihe Greater Omaha Israel Bond campaign 'srael's brilliant: diplomat and statesman, will be: one of the •asions in the memory of the community." to the labor of propagating the idea of a Jewish State, and since its establishment in 1948, has helped mold and shape Israel. We hope that Omaha Jewry will be out in large numbers to greet this outstanding Israeli," Mr. Marks emphasized. Bonds Reclaim Israel In speaking of the Bond campaign, Mr. Marks o b s e r v e d , "Today Israel requires continued constructive aid through Israel Bonds to help her economic development, and to absorb immigrants who are entering daily in large numbers. The purchase of Israel Bonds will enable Israel to complete reclamation plans for the Negev, the desert region in the south of Israel." "A Stable Nation" Stressing the role of Omaha Jewish women in the bond campaign, Mrs. Sam L. Katzman, Women's Division Chairman noted that seven Omaha women will be honored as "Women of
Valor" at the dinner, in recognition of their achievements in Israel Bond Sales. They are: Mmes. Ben Gershun, Morris Grossman, Sam L. Katzman, J. Harry Kulakofsky. Isidor Levinson, Sam Rifkin and Samuel N. Wolf. "Omaha Jewish women have demonstrated that they understand the role of Israel Bonds hi enabling Israel to become the most stable nation in the Middle East" said Mr. Katzman. "More than one million refugees have been absorbed into Israel since the creation of the state. The Israel Bonds Development Program has made that possible."
cused Israel of "deliberately planning and implementing aggression on a large scale against Syria." COMAY REPLIES . Mr. Comay said "It is discouraging, when a small nation appeals to the Security Council, to find a representative of a great power, a permanent member of this Council, acting more as counsel for one party rather than as judge. We repudiate absolutely the Soviet Union's contention that we were responsible for the incident on November 13 or that we are responsible for the general situation hi the area." Referring to Uie fact that Mr. Federcnko had charged Israel with following a "strategic doctrine" ot conflict, Mr. Comay said: "What happened was not
a result of any mythical strategic doctrine on our part. We want peace and until peace is achieved, we want the right to live." APPEAL BY STEVENSON Ambassador Stevenson told the Council that it must concentrate now upon pacification rather than blame. "We in the Council," said Mr. Stevenson, "cannot dictate peace. We can only recommend, urge, plead. We urge both sides hereafter to submit complaints to the UNTSO rtfther than to start shooting." It): Council, he said, should endorse Gen. Bull's proposals for an independent resurvey of portions of the disputed Israel-Syrian border "because upon the success of limited surveys depends more general tranquility."
