A special celebration to honor Justice Justine Wise Polier was held here today at Kfar Shmuel, named in honor of the late Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, her father.

During the party, a representative of the village announced that it had granted honorary citizenship to all members of the Wise family and that it had granted a plot of land to the family for the construction of a home. During the affair a number of national leaders, including Moshe Kol, head of Youth Aliyah, and Dr. Arieh Tartakower, chairman of the World Jewish Congress section in Israel, paid tribute to Rabbi Wise.
