Celebration of Hebrew Week in Britain was observed here at a meeting attended by 1,500 persons. Prof. Selig Brodetsky, one of the principal speakers, emphasized that the wider use of Hebrew among Jewish communities throughout the world would serve to unite Jews in Israel with those living, abroad.

A number of prominent Britons yesterday attended a reception here marking the opening of the Israeli Constituent Assembly in Jerusalem. Among the guests at the reception, tendered by Prof. Brodetsky, one-man London branch of the Jewish Agency executive, were Lord and Lady Strabolgi, acting Israeli representative I.J. Linton and members of his mission.
