ROUMANIA AND ISRAEL — Diplomatic Relations between Israel and Roumania are the only ones with an Iron Curtain Country, and although there are from time to time indications that the remaining Jews of that country who would like to migrate to Israel find impediments, still she recognizes and has commercial ties with the Jewish State. This photo, taken by Zolan Weisz, Indianapolis businessman on his annual trip to Israel, shows the Roumanian Jewish Choir which has concluded a month-long tour of Israel, performing in the principal cities and village with Yiddish, Hebrew and Hassidic melodies. They were accompanied by Rabbi Moshe Rosen, who has been able to maintain a fine line as chief rabbi of Roumania who serves In the Parliament and defends his country’s policies while knowing deep in his heart that the government could be more forthcoming as far as aliyah, etc., even though Jewish life finds almost no restraints in his native land.
