Bella fevsner will occupy the pulpit at Temple Israel Friday evening, speaking on "Gimpses of the Jew in Many Lands." Jtlme. Pevsner . is an interesting character, a woman of great eloquence and personality. She lived for some time in Palestine, which forms the subject for many of her lectures, and she has traveled extensively on lecture tours through Europe, the Orient, South Africa and this country. Mme. Pevsner spoke in Omaha some ten or twelve years ago. "It was Kishineff and the Dreyfuss case that made me a champion of Judaism," 'Mme. Pevsner states.' , "These outrages shocked me into a Realization of the plight of the Jews. Since then I have lived for the cause." There can never be real assimila tion for the Jews in any country, she believes. "The inner spirit of one peo ple in the flower of their traditions and ideals cannot be grafted on an other," according to her view. "All that can be adopted are the surface manners and super6cial traits." The public is invited to this free lecture.
