:South Peninsula Zionist Society.

A very enjoyahle function took place at the 1 almud Torah Hall, Muizenberg, on Sunday evening when the Committee of the above Society was " t Home" to the Jewi h community of Muizenberg.

Mr. D. L. Davidowitz, the Chairman, pre·

sided over a large gathering.

Adv. H. M. Bloch, the principal speaker of the evening, delivered an address on

"The Present Position of Jewry." He said that one of the chief causes of anti- Semitism was due to the clashing of interests between the group, i.e., society, and the individual. We found right throuo-h human history that in normal times of

~rosperity

the group allowed the individual liberty and freedom to a great extent.

On the other hand when the group found itself in danger or in a crisis, the groupr curtailed the freedom of the individual and strove for uniformity. The Jews being in the minority in all countries over the world and rather individualistically inclined found themselves excluded from the group, and oppressed.

We were striving to create in Palestine a Jewish majority and thus at least in one country conditions would be created in which the Jew quo Jew would be able to conform to the group and conduct his life on a normal basis.

During the evenin~ Cantor Lubliner, accompanied by Mr. Pulvermacher, rendered traditional songs. Humorous readings were rendered by Mr. M. Natas, Hebrew songs by Rev. Fnmk and Mr. J. Lehrman. Miss Miller recited and Master S. Rifkin played the a"cordian.

Mr. Sacks, the Chairman of the Young Israel, proposed a vote of thanks to the speakers and artis~.
