Leading Jewish educators from various parts of the country hailed this weekend Olam Hadash, the national Hebrew monthly magazine for children and youth on the occasion of its fifth anniversary, which was marked at ceremonies at the Americana Hotel here.
Dr. Emanuel Neumann, president of the Tarbuth Foundation for the Advancement of Hebrew Culture, and member of the Jewish Agency executive, was guest speaker at the event. Among the well-wishers was former Israel Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, who, in a letter to Asher Wolk, founder and editor of the publication, said that the survival of Hebrew had been “the primary factor in the preservation of Jewish self-awareness.”
