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.”
