POSTORIAL
TRIBUTE TO A LADY
RECENTLY, SAMUEL RUBIN, PRESIDENT of the Am-
erican Fund for Israel Institutions, announced that Madame
Helena Rubinstein had underwritten the construction of a
Pavilion of Art in Tel Aviv. Madame Rubinstein is well known
for her ability to beautify the American woman, but this act
reveals an even broader and deeper appreciation of beauty,
which takes on an enduring universal quality. This gracious l
lady’s true understanding is further revealed when we learn
that this Pavilion—to be named in her honor—will be devoted
principally to fostering the abundant talents of the younger
generation of Israelis whose creative energies are developing
new horizons of art and culture.
Madame Rubinstein has surrounded herself in her own
home with the finest of modern paintings, chiefly of the
French, Italian and American schools, but even more import-
ant, she has the will, the desire and the energy to share this
beauty with others.
Within her concept of beauty is a profound appreciation
of Israel’s devotion to the fine arts and her understanding of
the vital role that these arts play in the growth of the coun-
try. We applaud Madame Rubinstein not only for appreciat-
ing the outer aspect of beauty, but also—and this is more im-
portant—for understanding that the finest artistic creation
is man himself, and his endeavors to create a better world.
Through this gift she has aided Israel to build a better world
for its children.
4TH OF JULY, ISRAEL AND THE HISTORICAL PROCESS
ON JULY 4, 1776, in Philadelphia, thirteen states resolved
that “all men are created equal,” and they went out to assert
their independence against Great; Britain, the mightiest of
the powers at the time.
The fledgling United States numbered only three million
people who lacked" arms and financial resources and, in the
beginning of the struggle, suffered many military reverses.
The logic of events was against them but they came
through. France came to the aid of America, sending her
arms, money and even an army. Today the thirteen states
have become forty-eight and the 3 million Americans have
multiplied to more than 160 millions.
One cannot help making comparisons with Israel today.
The Alsop brothers of the New York Herald Tribune, recently
interviewing Ben Gurion, remarked on the logic of events,
beimg against Israel. The Israeli Premier replied that “he
who looks for logic in history” is stupid.
Perhaps a better way of putting it is that there are dif-
ierent kinds of logic. There is a logic of numbers and a logic
of other forces. All these forces add up to the Historial Pro-
cess. By the mere logic of numbers Israel of today, as Amer-
ica of 1776, stood to fail, but there is another kind of logic—
of a just cause, of a dedicated purpose, and this logic trans-
cends the logic of numbers.
It is with this feeling of just cause that we can compare
the development of the early colonies to the state of Israel
today.
Israel’s independence is hinged to the development of
Man dnd the industrialization of the Middle East.
Regardless of numbers the historical processes will work.
The development of Israel is part of the process.

Israeli Diplomatic Shakeup Held Possible
Following the resignation of
Moshe Sharett as foreign min-
ister and the assignment of Mrs.
Golda Meyerson to the post there
were indications that the Cabinet
reshuffle may result in diplomat-
ic shakeups of vast importance.
Thus, it was disclosed that Dr.
Walter Eytan, director of the
Foreign Ministry, had hurriedly
been recalled from his current
tour of European countries for
what is believed an appointment
as envoy to Great Britain. On the
other hand Ambassador Eliahu
Elath has ben recalled from Lon-
don for an appointment to Wash-
ington as replacement for Ambas-
sador Abba Eban who, it is re-
ported in informed circles, will be
called upon to assume the post of
special advisor to the Foreign
Ministry.
CONSTRUCTION PLANS FOR STUDENT RESIDENCE HALL
ANNOUNCED AT ALBERT EINSTEIN COLLEGE OF MEDICINE
Architectural plans for the construction of a $1,500,000
seven-story student residence hall (see artist’s sketch
above) as part of the Albert Einstein College of Medi-
cine of Yeshiva University, were made public last
week by Dr. Samuel Belkin, president of Yeshiva
University.
Excavation was begun recently for the steel-framed,
fire-proof structure that will house 297 students attend,
ing America’s first medical school under Jewish
auspices. Containing approximately 80,000 square feet
and occupying two acres at the site of the medical col-
lege, the dormitory building will include a lounge, study
hall, infirmary and recreational facilities. Construction
is expected to be completed in the Spring of 1957.
The building is named for the late Abraham Mazer,
noted philanthropist, and will be known as the Abrahanii
Mazer Student Residence Hall. Mr. Mazer served for
many years as a member of the Board of Trustees of
Yeshiva University. He was also a founder of the Col*
lege of Medicine, which admitted its first class last
September. The medical school eventually will have 9
total student enrollment of 400.
