The “generous devotion” of American Jewry to Israel was emphasized here today in a Rosh Hashanah message issued by Israel Ambassador Abba Eban. Pointing out the steady advance made by Israel in the face of continued hostility on the part of the neighboring Arab countries, Mr. Eban said:
“In all our endeavors and ordeals, we have been sustained by the generous devotion to Israel of American Jewry. This great community is now commemorating its tercentenary, and thus the year Five Thousand Seven Hundred and Fifteen becomes a landmark in American and Jewish history, in the story of liberty and human dignity.
“Confident that the links of fraternity and mutual responsibility binding as together will be maintained and strengthened, I send to the Jews of America my good wishes for the coming year.”
