**The Jews are not disposed to freat the question as political, buž purely religious. We demand free- dom of worship as provided under

"The worshippers included Jews from every part of the world-from Germany, Poland, Russia, Arabia, Samarkand, Poland and America.

The acene is enacted daily. Pilgrims come thousands of miles to worship at the famous Wailing Wall of Jerusalem.
