Rabinsky Lauds Bialik at N. J. ‘y’ Ceremonies

Memorial services for Chaim Nachman Bialik, Jewish poet laureate who died in Vienna last month, were held today in the Y. M. H. A. auditorium.

Among the speakers were Morris Rabinsky, field secretary of the Jewish National Fund; Leon Levspon, president of the Newark Zionist District; David Podes, principal of the United Hebrew School and Rabbi S. Lang, who presided.

“To the Jewish population in Palestine,” Rabinsky said “Bialik was more than a master poet. He revived the ancient Hebrew spirit and poured into it songs that will survive the ages. He was their brother, intellectual leader and guide and moral philosopher in the Homeland. He enriched the treasures of Jewish literature and scholarship and, above all, was a symbol of their national culture.”
