Thousands of orders have been received from all parts of the country by the national office of Hadassah for trees to be planted in Palestine as a Mother’s Day observance, it was announced yesterday by Mrs. Eudice Elkind Bernstein, chairman of the Jewish National Fund Council of Hadassah.
“The idea of planting a tree as a tribute to a mother is most appealing to American Jewish women”, Mrs. Bernstein said. “Rather than present a mother with an ephemeral gift the donor plants a tree in Palestine that becomes a permanent gift to the Jewish homeland and a permanent tribute to the person honored.”
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
