Israel Stamp A single stamp was issued August 21 by the Israel Postal Authorities, in honor of the first settlers in Palestine. The date of issue coincides with the date the settlers arrived in Palestine in 1882. Unwilling to martyr themselves to persecution, groups of young Russian Jews set out for Palestine determined to create agricultural villages and end the age old problem of the rootlessness of their people One.of the young pioneers described the land as a "bleak wilderness of sand dunes and

But, slowly pioneerg from many other lands joined their ranks. Their efforts were finally rewarded with the establishment of seven small, but thriving villages. These villages were vital stepping stones that led to the foundation of the State of Israel. The 0.37 s t a m p shows, in stylized design a hoe clearing a field of thistle.

J. .Harry Kulakofsky, a foremost Jewish community and civic leader, has accepted the post of General Chairman of the 1963 I s r a e l Bond Campaign, Robert M. Feinberg, Area Chairman of Israel Bond Organization, announced this week. "We are very h a p p y and proud to announce that Harry Kulakofsky, an outstanding and respected leader of our community, will direct the 19!i3 Israel Bond Sales Drive. "The forthcoming h i s t o r i c campaign, which is the Redemption Year Drive, will be headed by a person recognized and honored by the community for his

J. Harry Kulakofsky outstanding devotion to human welfare. He has a sterling record of achievements in many community u n d e rtakings and campaigns. He is deeply interested in the welfare of Israel, and the more than a million refugees whom Israel absorbed in the 15 years of its existence," Mr. Feinberg said. , Federation Past President Mr. Kulakofsky has a distinguished record of community
service. In 1952, he headed the Jewish P h i 1 a n t hropies Campaign; he served as President of the Jewish Federation of Omaha in 1953 and 1954. He has been an active m e m b e r of many boards in the community, and a participant in both Jewish and city-wide projects. Currently he is serving as chairman of the Citizens Committee on the Public Housing for the Elderly. Visited Israel In accepting the post, Mr. Kuiakofsky said: "I have had the opportunity to visit Israel several times; I was able to observe first hand, the p r o g r e s s and achievements made possible through the Israel Bonds purchased by us in the past. "The primary problems of Israel today are: Immigrant settlement and the industrialization of the Negev, the southern desert area of Israel, which takes up some one half of the country. "Speedy development of these wastelands will provide a livelihood for increasing numbers of immigrants, and build up Israel's productivity. "You cannot build a new settlement, a village, or a factory before you have a road leading to it, water and electric power— all these things Israel bonds help provide. "The achievements in Israel would not have been possible without the $640,000,000 which Americans made a v a i l a b l e through their purchases of Israel bonds in the past. "The Bond Sales Campaign this year is most urgent and of great importance to Israel. Security is Israel's major concern and absorbs much of its budget. American Jews must provide the means for Israel's urgent peacetime development needs, which can be done only through Israel Bonds," Mr. Kulakofsky concluded. Additional personnel will bs announced soon.

Cape Canaverds Space Age Jewish Community By Julian N. Jablin Tlie phenomenal development of the Cape Canaveral area from a reptile-invested swampland to (he United States stepping stone to the moon has been reflected in the growth of a thriving Jewish community where, little more than ten years ago, there was none. And just as the existence of the missile complex at the Cape is a trihute to determination and belief in the march of progress, Hie existence of the organized J e w i s h community here is a tribute to firm adherence to the traditions of our people and our ideals of service to one's fellow-mail. The congregation had its beginnings in 1950 when Loon Goldberg, a staff coordinator for the National Jewish Welfare Board's service to Jewish GI's in the southeastern U. S.. received a letter from Harry Rosen, who had been assigned to the Banana River Project on "a secret mission of vast importance." Mr. Rosen had previously been stationed at Keesler Air Force Base in Mississippi, where he had participated in the JWB program and knew JWB's work well. Now he wanted Mr. Goldberg, whose base is in Atlanta, Ga., to send some prayer books for the Jewish men at Patrick Air Force Base. At that time the names Hnnana Kiver, Cape Canaveral, Cocoa and Patrick had little significance in newspaper headlines. Rockets were still experimental devices which sometimes soared a few hundred miles into the innermost reaches of space and the work that was going on along this stretch of the Florida coast was unknown to most people. But the community of scientists, technicians and supporting personnel was growing and there were, of course, Jews among them. Soon a f t e r Mr. Rosen wrote to Mr. Goldberg, a group organized itself as the Brevard Brotherhood — named for the county in which the installations are located. Tha Brotherhood functioned as a committee to meet the religious and recreational needs ol Jewish personnel at Patrick. Mr. Rosen, chairman of the committee, conducted Friday night services at the Chapel on the base, and there were Oneg Shabbat gatherings after s e r v i c e s . He was soon transferred to California, but the group expanded its activities to serve civilians in the nearby communities of Melbourne, Eau Gallie and C o c o a . The base chapel ct Patrick AFB was used for minyans, services, holiday observances and other religious, cultural and social events. Growth followed growth. Activities became too numerous and ambitious for the b a s e chapel facilities, and the home of the new JWB Committee chairman, Dr. Meyer Gutterman, became the center for the program. Known as the "little shule around the corner," it was the focal point for UJA and Israel Bond drives, Bar Mitzvah celebrations, service to transient personnel, religious education and community work. When accidents occurred on nearby U. S. Highway No. 1. the Brotherhood acted as a visiting committee to the injured, and set up a blood donor group for emergencies. The Gutterman's freezer became a storehouse for delicacies and
