Extensive preparations are being made in Orthodox Jewish circles to welcome Rabbi Schneursohn, the Lubawitcher Rebbe, who is arriving here on Tuesday from Riga.

The Rabbi will remain in Palestine for two weeks. The purpose of his visit is to consult with the Chief Rabbis here on united action against the Soviet persecutions of the Jewish religion in Russia. He will then proceed to the United States for the same purpose. He will also seek to raise funds in America for Yeshivas in Eastern Europe.
