Abstract:

Yosef Tekoah, Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, will be principal speaker at the Histadrut Third Seder on Saturday evening, April 25th, at the Waldorf-Astoria. The Passover fete will pay tribute to Histadrut, the Israel labor federation, on the occasion of its Golden Jubilee. A highlight of the Third Seder program will be a special Haggadah, "Voice of Jubilee," based on traditional and contemporary sources, that combines the story of the Exodus from Egypt with the twentieth century return of the Jews to the land of Israel. Shlomo Kaplan, head of the Histadrut Music Department in Tel. Aviv, has come to New York especially to supervise the musical phases of the program, which are based on a Golden Jubilee festival staged in Jerusalem last January. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
