NEW .HANUKKAH
CANDELABRUM
Mosbe and Meir Nuttman, two glass-blowing craftsmen from
the w6rkshops of the Weizmann Institute of Science at Rehovoth,
have created a novel Hanukkiah. It consists Of four separate
groups of figurines, molded on a glass base made of lime-soda
glass, manufactured from sand mined in the Negev. The figurines
are in pyrex glass.
The central motif of the array, which shows a remarkable
attention to pictorial detail, is "the spirit of the times." The
luttman brothers say that they wanted to show how like martial
valor of the Maccabees has inspired every subsequent generation
of the Jewish people throughout theworld, especially in recent
times. Consequently the figurines are clad in apparel relating
to different epochs of the past Jewish history.
Male and female alike, they hold a weapon--spear, scimitar,
broadsword or mace--- in one hand, in the other a candleholder.
The single figure is the shomer, the candle which lights the o!h ers.
Repatriated
Polish Jews
Washington--The Kremlin has
notified Poland that the Soviet
Government would consider it an
unfriendly act if Polish exit per-
mits were granted to recent Jew-
ish returnees from the Soviet
Union. Arab Governments had
asked Moscow to stop the flow
of Jews from Poland to Israel.
Most Polish Jews living in Po-
land when the Gomulka regime
took over have already emi-
grated. The desperate cases today
are those of the estimated 10,000
Jews repatriated froh the Soviet:
Union in the last year. They ar-
rived penniless. Today those
awaiting exit permits for Israel
may be assisted to some extent
by the Joint Distribution Com-
mittee and ORT.
Of the Jews who arrived in
Poland from Soviet territory,
about 78 per cent came from
the Vilna area and an estimated
10 per cent from Lwow. Some of
the children of returnees do not
know a word of Yiddish or He-
brew. A number of spouses are
non-Jews.
Gomulka has indicated that he
-viii let the "Joint" aid Jewish
children in the sphere of culture
and education. Professional train-
ing by Ort is being planned. But
the threadbare unfortunates ar-
riving from Russia hope their
stay in Poland is only transient,
having set their hearts on Is-
rael.
Jews who remained in Poland
after World War II seem to have
fared better economically than
those who found themselves in
Russia. Some Polish Jews arrived

VIENNA (JTA)--The forma-

Committee in Poland, which will
distribute funds to be received
,from the Joint Distribution Com-
mittee, was announced in War-
saw.
The committee would concen-
trate primarily on reconstructive
aid for Jews repatriated from the
Soviet Union and would help
them in settling in their homes
and in securing work. Children
attending the Jewish schools will
be fed in the schools and adults
desiring to learn a trade will be
given the opportunity to do so.
Aid will also be given to aged
and sick. ,

dream: To become a laboratory,
a pilot plant, so to speak, for'the
entire Middle Eastern region,
which forms a bridge between
three continents. Scicntists of this
al-ea, working together in a broth-
erly spirit, may well provide the
pillars'for th, peaceful extension
of this intercontinental bridge."
