and SIIOI All OF GREATER HOLLYWOOD Volume 5 Number 8 Hollywood, Florida Friday, April 11, 1975 25 cents Gen. Herzog On Final Tour Before Taking Up UN Duties . ^dwalMMn Maj. Gen. Chaim Herzog, Is- rael's next Ambassador to the United Nations, will soon be mak- ing his last speaking tour in this country before taking up his new diplomatic duties. First stop on his Itinerary Is his speaking engagement at Hol- lywood's Temple Sinai, set for Sunday, April 20, at 7:30 p.m. Gen. Herzog's topic on that oc- casion will be "The Middle East and Today's World." The general will be in the United States from that date through May 4 on a special mis- GEN. CHAIM HERZOG sion at the request of Prime Min- ister Rabin. Top political analyst of the Middle East. General Herzog has been hailed as the Eric Sevareid of European television for his distinguished radio and TV com- mentaries in Great Britain, Ger- many. Sweden, and France. He has also broadcast in the United States. In January of 1970 Queen Elizabeth of England named Gen. Herzog a Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. Rabbi Miller Praises Israel Stand; Cites Vietnam as Major Precedent NEW YORK (JTA)Charg- ing that the Arab world's refusal to accept Israel's right to exist was responsible for the failure of Secretary of State Henry A. Kis- singer's latest peace efforts in the Middle East, Rabbi Israel Miller declared here that the wis- dom of Israel's insistence on tan- gible peace moves by Egypt be- fore relinquishing further terri- tory in Sinai "Is confirmed by what is happening today in Viet- nam." Rabbi Miller, chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organi- zations, drew the Middle East- Vietnam parallel in a statement issued here. "THERE TOO, Secretary Kis- singer served as mediator among the local parties to the conflict" and "there too, pledges of peace- ful intentions were offered but without the necessary safeguards to make sure the promises would not be broken," Rabbi Miller said referring to the 1973 Paris peace- accords. "The aginy of Vietnam today is a price that is being paid for the failure to insist on such vital safeguard?. Israel has learned the lesson of Vietnam, and both the American peoole and the cause of peace are the gainers," Rabbi Miller observed. He said "It is clear now that by its refusal to renounce bellig- erency against Israel, Egypt and the Arab world are not yet ready to accept Israel's right to exist as a legitimate and nermanent political entity in the Middle East." ^ RABBI MH*;BR readied: "uni- ty and'-solidanUy.wttlv leteel ** her struggle for peace and se- curity." He said that "the col- lapse of secretary Kissinger's peace mission is regrettable but not fatal. Far worse for Israel's securitv, for America's strategic interests and for the cause of world peace would have been Is- rael's submission to Egyptian in- transigence. "For that would only have whetted the Arabs' appetite for the goal that they have not yet abandoned the destruction of Israel." Rabbi Miller advised that "Now RABBI MILLER responsibility elsewhere is the time for Israel to stand fast and stay cool. For Israel's friends in this country it is a moment to speak out in solidarity with thp Jewish State, recogniz- ing that peace cannot be achieved by surrender nor security bought with promises." IN RELATED actions, two Jew- ish organizations called upon Ford to reaffirm the Administra- tion's commitment to Israel's se- curity. Dr. Joseph P. Sternstein. pres- ident of the Zionist Organization of America, in urging Ford to "make known your Administra- tion's support for Israel's rightful position and that the United States will not abandon her loyal ally," blamed the prevailing Arab intransigence aided by the Kremlin for Egypt's rejection of moderation. Howard Adelson, president of the United Zionists-Revisionists of America, noted "with dismay reports that you (Ford) place re sponsibility on Israel for the fail- ure of Secretary of State Kissln ger. Egyptian refusal to take steps toward a political solution made failure inevitable." Both leaders made their statements in telegrams to Ford. MM.....WHM I m HMMHI ......!M;iwi.t"in in i" nr.i INS Vows Action Against Ex-Nazis Living in U.S. WASHINGTON(JTA)The head of the U.S Immigra- tion and Naturalization Service pledged here that he would increase the number of Department of Justice investigators seeking the 33 Nazis still living in America. Retired Gen. Leonard Chapman had testified about the four to 12 million illegal aliens in the United States when he was asked by Rep. Joshua Eilberg (D., Pa.) about the Nazi leaders who fled from Germany as World War II was ending. EILBERG, Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman (D., N.Y.) and others in Congress have been urging a thorough investiga- tion of the Nazis believed to be in the United States. Eilberg is chairman of the subcommittee on immigra- tion of the House Judiciary Committee. Chapman replied that of 89 cases that the INS had begun, 33 remain on the active list and "we have it at the highest priority." When Eilberg noted that more than a year has passed since more active investigation had been urged in Con- gress, Chapman promised he would put more investigators to work on the cases. CBS Apology Asked For Program on Syria By DAVID FRIEDMAN NEW YORK (JTA) The Committee for the Rescue of Syrian Jewry has demanded that CBS News make a "public cor- rection of all the misrepresenta- tions and distortions" on the con- ditions of Syrian Jews which the group said was made during the "60 Minutes" program on Feb. 16. In a letter to CBS News Presi- dent Richard Salant, Rabbi Jo- seph Harari, the committee's ex- ecutive director, said the "erron eous report" by Mike Wallace, "has justified Syrian brutality, intensified the agony of the Jews in Syria and jeopardized the lives of these helpless people." ROBERT CHANDLER. CRS vice president for public affairs broadcasts, told the Jewish Tele graphic Agency that the "60 Minutes" report was based on first-hand reporting in Syria dur- ing January-February. He said CBS had a researcher in Damascus for four weeks, and the producer of the program was there for two weeks. He said the show pointed out that Wallace was accompanied by Syrian agents during an interview with a Jewish family. "Obviousiy. we can't be sure" that all of the things CBS was told is true," Chandler admitted. Rabbi Harari has demanded that CBS name the four Syrian Jews who were allegedly exe- cuted for espionage in 1969, ac- cording to the CBS report. Chandler said the information came from the Syrian Jewish community, and CBS could not corroborate it by any newspaper reports. RABBI HARARI said that Wal- lace reported that Syrian Jew* are kept under close surveillance because they are "suspect in Continued on Pag? 5 We Want to Serve You With Bigger, Better Issues Every Week.

In an editorial entitled "Blacklist Backlash in Con- gress," Business Week said that "Administration officials fear that escalating anti-Arab senti- ment in Congress will make new- trouble for legislation dealing with trade or foreign investment in the United States." THE MAOA4lNb pointed out that amendments are sprouting to block commercial deals with co-mtiies that participate against L'.S. companies with Jewish in- terests." One top Senate aide is quoted in the Business Week editorial as sa ing that "people are really upset" over the blacklist. "Unless *:ie Aral>s renounce tl.e blacklist, pressure for Con- gressional reprisal may grow ir- resistible" although "State and Treasury Department officials argue the lest way to handle NCJW Reaffirms Support of Amnesty At its National Convention March 9-13 at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, Calif., the Na- tional Council of Jewish Women reaffirmed its support of uncon- ditional amnesty lor all who re- sisted fighting the war in Indo- china. The nearly 700 Convention del- egates, from Sections across the country, called in a separate ac- tion for a halt to United States military intervention and involve- ment in Cambodia. "It is shocking and unaccept- able to us,' said outgoing Na- tional President Eleanor Marvin, "that at a time of saeb economic hardship throughout the world, the precious resources of the United States should be spent on military iaterveatiea in Southeast Asia, a policy which has already proved a failure. We feel that government should reassess its priorities so that funds are allo- cated for human services in this country and abroad." Convention delegates attended program sessions devoted to the major priorities of NCJW con- cern, including a presentation on the subject of Protection of Con- stitutional Rights by Frank Wil- kinson, Executive Director of the National Committee Against Re- pressive Legislation, who said that citizens must be alert to the hidden significance of legislation and hp wary of ostensibly harm- less bills. "The criminal code revisions now pending in Congress," he said,, "will reenact dangerous threats to our liberties, such as v-'r*3poing. and it i= our respon- sibility to call for Senate hear- ings ta stop this regressive trend." Another major priority session, devoted to Justice for Children, was the occasion for announcing th publication of "Children With- out Ju-tice," a 150-paee renort on NCJW's two-year study and ac- tion Droject on the inadequacies of and reform needed in the juvenile justice system. Aryeh Neier, Executive Direc- tor of the American Civil Liber- ties Union, and Robert E. Trim- bl*". Western Regional Director of the National Council on Crime and Delinquency, were the fea- tured speakers at the sesssion. "The enlightened dream of the 1820 s that government could re- form a troubled youngster by re- moving him from the bad in- fluences of society has become a 'nightmare. At its best," Mr. Neier said, "our system has no ef feet, and at its worst, it actually creates a criminal by incarcerat- ing the status offender." Mr. Neier praised the NCJW report and encouraged delegates to continue their efforts at re- forming the juvenile justice sys- tem through improved legisla- tion and the establishment locally of alternative living arrange- ments such as Group Homes. Dr. James Celeman of the Uni- versity of Chicago, author of the Caleman report on school inte- gration, was the highlight speak- er at the program sessions on the NCJW Research Institute for In- novation in Education in Israel, which creates new methods of materials for teaching the disad- vantaged population. Dr. Coleman toid the delegates that the school integration proj- ects designed by the Research In- stitute are among the most suc- cessful in the world, and the edu- cational system in Israel has be- come a living laboratory from which other countries might bor- row workable techniques. In a separate convention ses- sion, the NCJW reaffirmed its support of affirmative action pro- grams to ensure the principles of equal opportunity for all; rein- forced its strong support for equal opportunity and legal rights for women; and renewed its com- mitment to promoting Dublic un derstanding that abortion is an individual right and to working to eliminate any obstacles that limit this right. Support of education, together with programs for social action and community service both at home and abroad, have been a tradition of NCJW since its founding in 1893. The 100.000 member women's organization operates in more than 200 com- munities. the problem is through quiet diplomacy." IN ITS news article on OPEC Seeking to iinpiove its image in Ameiica, Business Week report- ed in its Mar. 24 issue that an OPEC report it obtained showed that three editorial and adver- tising representatives from Readers Digest met OPEC of- ficials in Vienna Jan. 17 to dis- cuss the campaign. "They to!d chief M. O. Feyide, the oil group's secretary general, who is from Nigeria," the maga- zine said, that "a suitable pro- gram would cost anywhere from $1>7 million to $4.58 million, de; ending on the length of thp at tides and the number of in- sertions." In Nev York, according to Business Week, the managing editor of Readers Digest. Ed- waid T. Thompson, said that the "articles" mentioned in the OPEC document were strictly paid advertising, not editorial material. ONE OF the Digest repres-J entatives at the Vienna session, | European director John D. Pa- j nitza, is quoted by Business Week as saying the Digest team went to great lengths to explain the difference between adver- tising and editorial content to! the OPEC group. "If the oil group is confused about what is or is not paid ad- vertising, it is not apparent from the rest of the report," Business Week emphasized. Part of the report discusses a letter re- ceived by OPEC from PKL Ad- vertising Inc.. New York, which proposed an advertising cam- paign in television, news week- lies, newspapers and radio, that, the agent was quoted by Busi ness Week as saying, "guaran tees that the campaign will reach 95 per cent of adult Amer- icans over and over again throughout 1975." THE LETTER suggested. Business Week reported, that mounting the campaign would cost "less than $10 million." John Shims. PKL's president, the magazine said, had confirm- ed he wrote to OPEC "cold turkey" to offer his services. OPEC will consider the offers at its June meeting in Gabon. ! Miramar Chapter Holds Luncheon The Miramar Chapter of Pio- neer Women's annual fund-rais- ing luncheon honoring its "big sister" organization, Moetzet Hapoalot, in Israel, was held March 9 at the Diplomat Coun- try Club. Mrs. Sue Cooper, donor chair- man, welcomed those participat- ing and introduced the guest speaker, Mrs. Milton Green, pres- ident of the Greater Miami Council of Pioneer Women and Regional Director of the south- eastern district. Hostesses were Mrs. Samuel Friedland and Mrs. Abe Wilken- feld.

Please Call for Interview 920-9202 Armed Forces on Alert TEL AVIV(JTA)Israeli forces have been placed on a high alert on both the Egyptian and Syrian fronts fol- lowing the collapse of second-stage talks with Egypt. According to reliable sources, Israeli forces are keep- ing a close watch on troop movements behind the Syrian and Egyptian lines. EVEN BEFORE the negotiations broke down, Israeli military sources had expressed serious concern over the massive military build-ups by Egypt and Syria and the large-scale war exercises conducted by both countries just behind the ceasefire lines. The war atmosphere was increased by a statement by the Egyptian Chief of Staff that Egyptian forces must be prepared to complete the mission started on October 6, 1973the day Egypt and Syria attacked Israel launching Barnett Bank of Hollywood Tyler Street at 19th Avenue Phone: 925-8200 arnett anK: *z*lfX%K INTERIOR DECORATINO FASHION FABRICS T*^[^^ SJ^of MAUANDAU, INC. 805 N.

In the light of the failure of Dr. Kissinger's Middle Eastern mission, the statement he has made at a press .conference and references to the so-called light at the end of the tunnel, the time has come for a reassessment on the part of the Jewish community in tune with de- veloping ewant,,.-^ -*-*_ - It is shortsighted and of no value to detach Israel from the rest of the world. The situation in the Middle East is part of global developments in Vietnam, Cambodia, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Ethiopia and the oil cartel. Kissinger's statement that South Vietnam requires a program of three-year support is vapid in the face of a similar reassessment going on vis-a-vis Israel and the Middle East. It ignores domestic considerations and a distaste for an unpopular war. However, Kissinger does not of- fer an even-handed three-year program of support for Israel. He confesses: "We are committed to Israel's sur- vival." But survival needs definition, and the nature of that definition can best come from Israel. We Have to Look Forward Kissinger also referred to the dangers of "radicali- zation" in the Middle East without specifying their na- ture. Did he have in mind the assassination of King Faisal, or did he have in mind what Edmund Stillman, director of the Hudson Institute, said in his Op-Ed article of the New York Times on Mar. 26: "Trouble is bound to come in the region within the next ten years. Political take-overs ana palace revolutions by imported mercenaries and 'craftsmen-slaves' is one of the oldest themes of Middle Eastern history." Obviously, far-sighted statesmen have to look for- ward. But not with blindness. The view has to be total. Even Kissinger had to admit events elsewhere in the world had their effect on the failed attempt at un- tying the Middle East tangle. Perhaps then, it would be best, as so many more Israelis are now saying, for the peace negotiations to take place in Geneva. There, under global spotlight, the world will be ble to see what is going on. No executive sessions as nere, or if there is a behind-the-scenes dealing, it will have to come to light in the public debate. The Soviet Union, not immune to world pressure, and just as aware of developments in the Middle East potentially inimical to its interests, will have half the responsibility. It will not be able to take pot shots, as it has been doing, when it haj no responsibility. A Mutuality of Respect The return of the Orthodox branch of Judaism to the Synagogue Council of America is welcome after so long a disaffection. But the return carries with it the Orthodox branch's stipulation that it still does not recognize the legitimacy of either the Conservative or Reform branches. Under these circumstances, it may be hard to see what the Orthodox move means in terms of healing the breach among the various religious affiliations of Amer- ican Jewry. For one thing, the return itself at least heals the schism on the surface, and that is a good thing. For another, it affords an opportunity for those In the Orthodox branch who may be more moderate on this question to engage in active dialogue with members of the Conservative and Reform movements. The issue here is not to challenge Orthodoxy to argue that the return is meaningless if it is not accom- panied by statements of accreditation to the others. Rather, the issue is that perhaps a beginning has been made toward a mutuality of respect in the name of total Judaism.

Volume 5 Friday, April 11, 1975 Number 8 30 MISAN 5755 "SUPPOSE they gave a war. and nobody attended?" is a bit- ter sentimentalism from the dark- est days of our Vietnam agony. Everywhere, it evoked philo- sophical .smiles. .. It epitomized the secret dreams of men who dared to believe that they can control their own des- tiny without leaving it to the selfish hearts and minds of the political hacks and shysters they periodically elect to office. I CAN think of no more apt time to resurrect this dream than now. Suppose they set the stage for another Geneva conference, as surely is occurring behind the drawn curtain of international duplicity at this very moment, and Israel didn't attend? On its face, it seems absurd. But what is the compulsion to go to Geneva? WHO BESIDES the fat cats, by whose rules the game will be played at Geneva and who are the predestined winners at Gene- va, conceive of Geneva as the onlv alternative to the current Mideast condition? No one, except the United States. And Israel, of course, but Israel is by no one's definition a fat cat. Still, consider the excep- tions. The United States would have preferred to avoid Geneva be- cause the resumption of the Geneva talks will give the Soviet Union a co-chairman's role, and Soviet prestige in the Middle East is already at the danger point. AS FOR Israel, well at Geneva she will have to reckon with the full panoply of world poison di- rected against her. Had Henry Kissinger's diplomacy succeeded, she would have had to swallow it only a drop at a time. The point is that the two ex- ceptions are exceptions all right, but for entirely different rea- sons. For Israel, Geneva means in- stant execution at the hands of the Russians and the Arabs if. minimally, she cannot resuscitate the Kissinger formula there. And that seems doubtful, indeed. For the United States. Geneva no longer means pursuit of the Ki--sineer formula, which is to say poisoning of Israel drop by droo. to avoid the participation of the meddlesome Russians. FOR THE United States. Gene- va now means the reality of the meddlesome Russians riding at fu'l tilt toward greater influence in the Middle East. As we pursue our own interests at Geneva, the Israelis will have to keeD asking thems^ves how they can avoid execution there of whatever branoor whether the Americans, finallv u-earv of the whole campaign. wi'I eive in to the executioners al'ogether as they are doing in Southeast Asia. The only vay for Israel to out- wit her obviuus fate at Geneva is bv simply refusing to attend in the same wav that she ivoided the lethal Dossib-lities of the Kis- singer formula by simply saying "no" to it. WHAT IT comes down to is the reaction of the United States. Take Gerald Ford, that incalcul- ably valuable UJA and Israel Bond perfsrmer of two years ago. He has already let us know in no uncertain terms that his Da- tience is running short with the 'intransigent'' Israelis. And where did he get his im- patience from? Well. NBC-TV newsman Richard Valeriani un- wittingly let the cat out of the bag following Dr. Kissinger's press conference at the State De- partment, last week. Opined Valeriani: One would think that the problems still out- standing between Israel arid the Arabs the Arab refugees, the role of the Palestine Liberation Organisation in the drive toward establishing still another A-rab Mindlin state, the status nf Jerusalem all these are "easily" capable of reconciliation given the will to reconcile them. BUT, CONCLUDED Valeriani, the Israelis were "stubborn." Over a few kilometers of Sinai sand, meaning whether they with- drew from Gidi and Mitla accord- ing to Plan A rather than Plan B. the Israelis sank Dr. Kissin- ger's effort, and hence all hopes for peace in the Middle East based on moderation. In Valeriani's view, then, the Kissinger mission failed because of Israel's undiminished need n dictate her boundary- line5 because of Egypt s refusal todi avow belligerency. But Valeriani was on the gv singer plane returning from Middle East, and on that Whi py flight Kissinger raved and ranted, according to private but well-founded reports, about h. raeli "intransigence" and true , lence." (The "few lousv kiloa eters" theme, which except f the "lousy," Valeriani harped upon in his post-news conference analysis, bears the Kissinger thumprint from the davs imra.. diately following the Yon, Kip. pur War, when Egyptian and Is- raeli officers were locked in ne- gotiations in a tent at Km. 101 and Kissinger was critical of Is- rael's slow pace.)

That is what Secretary of State Henry Kissinger did in talk- ing with correspondents on his plane after his failed Middle East mission, md again in briefing congressional leaders. HE DEFINED the nature of a Greek tragedy: "when both sides, each following the laws of its own nature, produce consequences destructive of both.'' It may go back to his massive senior honors the-is at Harvard on the meaning of historpto Speng'.er and Kant rather than to the Mctternich who was the hero of his first book. But it can be of small solace to either the Israelis or the Egvo- tians to be told by the man ei"h had pinned its hopes on that in fo'lowing th laws of their nature thev would both be destroyed. THERE IS an element which makes the trady seem even more fateft'l.

But it was Sadat who stonoed short of making the statement. The heat was on him from the PLO and the more militant Arab states. He may well have feared an assassination fat" su^h as . caight up later with King Faisal of .-audi Arabia, or else a life-, revolutionary military coup. WMJa Kisajpger has no real. tffa tahtlve reason, he may have a tactical reason for seeming to till the blame toward lsra-1to ga credit with Sadat and the Arabs, which he will sorely need at Geneva. HE HAD another tactical ob- jectiveto point to the lack of congressional support as a factor in the larger collapse of American policy. This was a bit- ter hour for him. He used it for a call to a more unified American "national purpose," with a clear- ly implied rebuke to the liberal isolationist trend of the current Congress. .

Syrian police were pres ont but did not intervene to pro tect the victims of what was called a "mini-pogrom." Raliamim Sultan, a spokesman for the Committee for Rescue o,' Syrian Jewry, told the JTA that this incident proves the harmful effects of the distortion of the "60 Minutes" show and demon- strates once again that Jews are not free and continue to be per secuted.

Meanwhile, the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations is continu- ing its drive to gain one million signatures on a petition urging President Ford to intervene oa behalf of Syria's 4,500 Jews to convince Syria to cease ths persecution of Jews and to al- low them to emigrate.

The final fateful hours before Dr. Henry Kis- singer's step-by-step diplo- macy for a Middle East peace broke down were spent by him in his sixth floor suite at the King David Hotel awaiting the outcome of an Israel Cabinet meeting. No substantive informa- p tion was available to news- men beyond the clear indica- tion from top Israeli sources that the last ideas and proposals that Kissinger brought back from President Sadat could "not serve as the basis of a settlement." M'KCILATION was rife among observers and newsmen here that Kissinger had pro- : .some kind pf compromise' formula of his own and was seeking Israel's consent before bioaching it to Sadat. But if that was the case, there was no inkling when Kissinger left of the contents cf the pro- posals he was taking to Egypt. Some sources believed the Cabinet abandoned, hope of a "broad" settlement involving an Egyptian renunciation of bel- ligerency and was casting around for some alternative scenario either its original "modest" pro- posal for a 30-50 kilometer pull- FILLING IN BACKGROUND f\ :!' ,.'!.!! ii i;" -. 11 r>. back in Sinai without relinquish- ing the strategic passes or the oilfields, or some intermediate configuration that would rescue the current talks. THERE WAS speculation, too, that differences of opinion be- tween the Ministers or between the Israeli and American nego- tiators accounted for the in- ordinately long deliberations. A brief statement issued did little to dispel the clouds of un- certainty. The statement said the Cabinet has "decided to au- thorize the negotiating team to continue the talks with the Sec- retary of State in accordance with the decisions of the Cabi- net, striving for a positive con- clusion to the negotiations on the attainment of an interim settlement between Israel and Egypt." It was learnew that apart from the non-belligerency issue, the two sides were deeply divided over the time factor of a second- stage accord, as well as over the central "components" of non- belligerency.

Evidence of such a change was finally not visible. Israel, Uuiefore, did not per-, mit itself to be seen as the cause for the failure of Kissinger's mission. On the other hand, all I of the government's leaders j agreed that Israel could not retreat from their basic demand that any far-reaching accord with Egyptone involving sub- stantial territorial withdrawals ; including the Mitle and Gidi passes and the Abu Rodeis oil fieldsmust include a funda- mental turning point in rela- tions between Israel and Egypt. ISRAELI proposals that Kis- singer took to Egypt before .lie end embodied a certain soft- ening of Israeli demands on the non-belligerency issue. A well-placed source said af- ter Kissinger's departure that Israel had given Egypt a num- ber of options which linked greater or lesser concessions on its part to greater or lesser ful- fillment of Israel's demand for the practical components of non- belligerency. Mapam ministers and some others favored greater conces- sions than the majority would accept. Premier Rabin and Defense Minister Peres stood with the majority. They said theie was. little prospect that the narrow scenario of a very limited Is-' raeli withdrawal in Sinai would be revised inasmuch as Egypt, had totally rejected it. But as far as Israel was con- cerned, there were still options midway betveen the limited' scenario and a broader one, un- til the very end. '5 Page 6 The Jewish Floridian and Shofar of Hollywood Friday, April n, 1975 ? M Abe ? fcy ABE BALPERN QUESTION: What do the sounds of the Shofar mean? ROBERT M. FELLER Highland Park, NJ. ANSWER: Shofar, sometimes spelled Shophar, is a Hebrew word designating an animal's horn prepared for use as a mu- sical instrument. It is one of the earliest musical instruments known to man which is still in use. It is known primarily as the ram's horn blown on Rosh Ha- Shanah (the New Year) and other occasions. The Shofar is mentioned in the Bible in connection with the Giv- ing of the Law at Mount Sinai. "On the third day, as morning dawned, there was thunder, and lightening, and a dense cloud upon the mountain, and a very loud blast of the Shofar and all the people who were in the camp trembled." (Exodus 19:16) Rosh Ha-Shanah is designated as Yom Teruah, a day when the horn is sounded. (Numbers 29:1) There are many other refer- ences in the Bible indicating its uses; on Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), the Jubilee Year, as an accompaniment to other musical instruments (Book of Psalms 98:6). in processionals as a signal, and in order to induce fear. "Whereas the Bible gives neither the order of the blasts nor their meaning, the Rabbis evolved an elaborate order of sounding, the essence of which is that the Shofar should sound broken notes resembling sobbing (the shevarim sound) and wail- ing (the teruah sound), which are both preceded and followed by a long unbroken sound (tekiah V (The Encyclopedia of the Jewish Religion, page 358) Saadyah Gaon, (882 942 c.e.), a sage and scholar offered ten reasons for sounding the Shofar. 1To proclaim the sovereignty of God. since it was the cus- tom to sound the Shofar at a coronation. 2To herald the beginning of the 10 days of Repentance. 3As a reminder to be faithful to the teachings of the Torah. since the Shofar was heard at the giving of the Torah. 4As a reminder of the prophets, the teachers of righteousness, who raised their voices like the Shofar, to touch our consciences. 5As a reminder that to the sound of trumpets the Tem- ple feli, and to the sound of trumpets it will be restored. 6As a reminder of the Ake- dah, the binding of Isaac, since the ram which was sub- stituted for Isaac was caught in the ticket by its horns. 7To inspire awe. 8As a summons to the Heav- enly Court on the Day of Judgment. 9As a reminder that the Sho- far will call together Israel's scattered remnants'to return to the Holy Land. 10As a reminder of the Day of Resurrection, the Return to Life.

Call Jewish Federation of South Broward 921-8810. Shofar is sounded in order to con- fuse Satan. Satan it seems, hates the sound of the Shofar because of all it represents. Satan, who on Rosh Ha-Shanah, is the chief prosecutor against Israel, is com- pletely disoriented when he hears the Shofar blown. Hopefully that will assure a positive judgment. Maimonides (1135-1204 c.e.) gives a moving interpretation of the sounding of the Shofar. "Sleepers, awake from your sleep! Slumberers, rouse your- selves from your slumber! Search your deeds and return to teshu- vah (repentance, literally, re- turning) and remember your Cre- ator." (Hilkhot Teshuvah, chap- ter 3) In "Gateway to Judaism," by Albert L. Shulman (pp 358-359) there is the following interpreta- tion: 1 Tekiah, a pure unbroken sound that calls man to search his heart, forsake his wrong ways, and seek forgiveness through repentance. 2Shevarim, a broken staccato trembling sound. It typifies the sorrow that comes to a man when he realizes his mis- conduct, and desires to change his ways. 3Teruah, a wave like sound of alarm, calling upon man to stand by the banner of God. 4Tekiah Gedolah (Great Teki- ah). a prolonged unbroken sound typifying a final appeal to sincere repentance and atonement. . It is interesting to note that in Modern Israel the Shofar is used for the swearing in of a new president of the State. Dur- ing the Six-Day War on June 7, 1967. the Chief Rabbi of the Is- raeli Army, blew the Shofar at the Western Wall after its libera- tion by the Israel Defense Fore- is It is noteworthy that the Shul- chan Aruch (Code of Jewish Law). Orach Chayim (589:6) specifically allows women to sound the Shofar. A 6 -it EDITOR'S NOTE: Please send questions to ???

George McGovern said after a meeting with Yasir Arafat that "American policy should take into se- r i o u s consideration the question of recognizing the Palestine Liberation Organ- ization," according to a re- port by the Palestinian news agency WAFA. The Beirut newspaper An Na- har reported that the South Da- kota Democrat who heads the Senate Foreign Affairs Commit- tee's subcommittee on Near Eastern Affairs, and is currently on a fact-finding tour in Middle East countries, met with Arafat for 90 minutes last Friday at the Senator's request. THIS MARKED the first meet- ing between a high-ranking American politician and the head of the PLO, An Nahar noted. McGovern, who was the Dem- ocratic Party's Presidential can- didate in 1972, was quoted as saying that it was "imperative for some kind of Palestinian na- tional entity to emerge because it is difficult to achieve stability in the area unless the Palestin- ians exercise an efficient poli- tical existence." At the meeting at PLO head- quarters, Arafat briefed Mc- Govern en PLO policy and stressed the 1974 decision by the Arab summit meeting in Rabat recognizing the PLO as the sole representative of the Palestinian people, the press reports said. OTHER sources said McGov- ern indicated after the meeting that he plans to draft a Middle East peace plan which, accord- ing to officials accompanying ' him, would be based on the es- tablishment of relations between Israel and the Arab countries, the guarantee of a fair and last- ing peace by recognizing the rights that must be accorded to the Palestinians, the pre-1967 borders and a solution of the problem of Jerusalem. McGovern arrived in Beirut last Wednesday and has visited Egypt and Saudi Arabia. He has also scheduled to visit Jor- dan. Syria. Israel and Iran. mmum m- By BOB KtRBH, fx.ctiv. Dirtctvr, Jewish federation of South Broward, foe I......MMMtMNHH ''::' I h:":..... One of the beautiful things about Judaism is that a Jew is to""' perform his mitzvoth during his lifetime so he will be remembered*1' after his death. One of my closest friends recently passed away. It was a death that was expected but can never be accepted. His wife has sent me a letter and I should like to quote just a short part of it: "He was not just my husband of 21 years, my lover my companion: he was my very best friend who loved me more than I deserved, who thought I was always looking younger and not older, who never tired of my company or of doing things with me and for me. His sweetness, his gentle- ness, his love of people and of life, and his unbelievable courage at all times, makes his loss all the greater for me." Wouldn't everyone like to leave that kind of memory? It ig a natural pattern that we gather around people who are in pain and who are suffering, and express guilt that we didn't spend more time with them when we could have enjoyed life together. We take life for granted and so often forget the little niceties that can make life so much more pleasant for others. We get so involved with our own intimate problems and concerns that we fail to see the things around us that we can make more whole, more meaningful, more beautiful. I believe that we don't recognize the secret of the art of living, the art of choosing life in spite of its uncertainties, its paradoxes, and its enigmas. The secret is the ability, the desire, and the ful- fillment of giving to others to make their lives better. This can be done in many undramatic ways: a telephone call, an evening to- gether, a smile or a compliment. We have just finished the celebration of the freedom of Pass- over. We have just commemorated the 30th anniversary of the death of Anne Frank. We have just remembered the uprising and destruc-. tion of the Warsaw Ghetto. We will be celebrating the 27th annUr versary of the founding of the State of Israel and the 30th anni"f versary of the end of World War II. During this period between Passover and Shavouth. a ti^e of counting days, why not spend each day in a meaningful activity for .omeone else? There are friends who need your comfort and your laughter. There are members of your family who are looking for a kind word and there are Jews throughout the world who are looking for your help. As I see it. ther? is no better time than now.

Kissinger and warned that the U.S. would hold Israel responsible for failure of the talks and would have to recon- sider it* relations with Israel. Rabin acknowledged that he had received a letter from Ford but refused to divulge its con- tents on the basis of the "special relationship" between the U.S. and Israel. HOWEVER, Rabin insisted at a press conference here that descriptions of the letter by the news media wers exaggerated and distorted. According to Israeli news- papers, Ford's note, received dur- ing 15 hours of marathon delib- erations by the Cabinet, shocked and angered the ministers. The newspapers alleged that the Presidential note was dis- patched to Jerusalem at the spe- cific request of Kissinger after the latter reported to Ford on the hard line taken by President Anwar Sadat at Aswan. Kissinger admitted that he had initiated the President's note, but the text of it apparently was stronger than he had anticipated, the Israeli newspapers claimed. THE WHITE House has refus- ed to confirm or deny the report that Rabin was strongly urged by the White House to show more flexibility in dealing with the ap- proach to the second-stage ne- gotiating effort. A White House spokesman said that "we don't normally dis- cuss diplomatic exchanges." ^KURASH.T Phone 921-2902 Main Office 2429 Hollywood Blvd. Phone 947-5654 Toll Free Stanley S. Kurash and Naomi R.

Dinitz, who was interviewed by Bruce Morton and .iughes Rudd on the CBS-TVs "Morning News," said, "We iave never said that we are afraid to go to Geneva, al- !hough we were always mindful that out of Geneva nothing substantial can come. Geneva is nothing but a mini-UN. It's a place for declarations, not a place for making peace." UIMTZ MADE those remarks only hours after Israeli Premier Yitzhak Rabin had told the Knesset in Jerusalem that Is- rael was prepared to seek peace through any possible means "in- cluding through the Geneva con- ference." Dinitz said on the CBS inter- view. "We still believe that the best prospect for peaee is to ra- the American initiative in way or another. We believe that the Americans are the only ones who can push the cause of peace because they are the only ones who really have" the nec- essary influence "on Israel and Egypt in order to advance to- waid peace."

U.S. Commemorative Stamp Named After Haym Salomon CINCINNATI A United States commemorative stamp has been named after Haym Salomon, Jewish merchant, banker and Revolutionary War financier. The ten-cent stamp, issued by the United States Post- al Service Mar. 25, is part of a series entitled, "Contributors to the Cause." te According to Dr. Jacob R. arcus, director of the Amer- an Jewish ATchfcros of the He- brew Union College Jewish In- stitute of Religion, this is one of the few times a Jew has been so honored. HAYM SALOMON was a Po- lish immigrant, who arrived in America about 1775. He was in New York only few months before he became an impassion- ed patriot, and was twice arrest- ed and imprisoned by the Brit- ish. He was released by the Ger- man mercenaries who served the British. "It is very probable that one of the German-Jewish quartermasters who had accom- panied the 'Hessians' induced their general to free and em- ploy him," stated Dr. Marcus. Salomon operated underground as an American agent encourag- ing Hessian officers to resign and helping French and Amer- ican prisoners to escape. When the British caught up with him, he escaped to Philadelphia where he became the financial agent in America for the French gov- ernment and was one of the leading dealers in bills of ex- change and other securities. THE AMERICANS needed large sums of money to equip their troops. Salomon's job was to serve Robert Morris, the su- perintendent of Finance, "as an alchemist; he was to transmute paper into gold, and this he did," Dr. Marcus continued. He advanced direct loans to the government and gave of his own resources to pay the sala- ries of government officials and army officers. Robert Morris" diary for th* years 3781-84 re- cords some 75 transactions be- tween Salomon and himself, with frequent entries, "I sent for Haym Salomon." After the war, Salomon was almost penniless and died in 1785 before he could rebuild his business. A monument stands on Wacker Drive in Chicago, com- memorating the services of Sal- omon to the "beloved land of his adoption." Gen. Washington stands, flanked on his right by Robert Morris, on his left by Haym Salomon. ON THE reverse of the Pos- tal Service stamp bearing Salo- mon's name is printed, "Finan- cial Hero: Businessman and broker Haym Salomon was re- sponsible for raising most of the money needed to finance the American Revolution and later to save the new nation from col- lapse." The American Jewish Ar- chives was established in 1947 at the Cincinnati campus of the HUC-JIR to gather, preserve, and make available for study documentary material to illumi- nate the history of American Jews. \ assessment is vis-a-vis Israel which I don't believe that this is the meaning of it then, of course, we don't feel that we should be the_one to be singled out for the failure of the nego- tiations after we have made generous proposals absolutely rejected by Egypt." Dinitz said he was "very en- couraged by the words of the President that America will continue to search for ways and means to advance the cause of peace." He a'so said he did not believe the role ot Kissinger has ended, although "maybe the shuttle diplomacy is ended for a while, maybe new ways should be found." New Booklet Honors Jewish Patriots In American History Who was the first Jewish patriot to be killed in the War of Independence? "Without his aid they could not have carried on the (Rev- olutionary) cause." What U.S. president said this about what great Jewish American? What Jewish commander led the legendary "Jewish Le- gion"? Whom did the British call a "very great rebel"? These and many other accounts are recorded in the new- booklet entitled: "Honoring 1776 And Famous Jews In Amer- ican History," published in commemoration of the Bicentennial Year. Who was the first known Jewish settler in the New World and when did he arrive? In 1750, 1701, 1677, 1654? Who was America's original "women's libber"? Which Jewish officer reached the Navy'; highest rank and for what law does his name rest in U.S. history? Whose fleet of ships were critical in the colonies' ability to wage the War of Independence? Every Jewish child and parent will feel pride in reading about the heroic Jewish Americans who helped to create the nation and shape its growth from the earliest years. Page after page will be exciting, especially for those who are used to thinking of most Jewish contributions to America as beginning with the great migrations at the turn of the 20th Century.

Bii:rjLB!i*fT- NEW YORK (JTA) David Rockefeller, board chairman and chief executive officer of the Chase Manhattan Bank, said here that "in support of current ef- forts to establish a lasting peace in the Middle East, we intend to continue our normal banking op- erations under standard banking practices with all concerned" be- cause "we do not think that any good purpose would be served, public or private, by modifying this traditional pelicy." Rockefeller issued the state- ment in response to what he termed "the painful irony of the bank's situation" with regard to its role in the Middle East. To "illustrate" he mentioned a CBS broadcast editorial alleging that Chase Manhattan "has bowed to an Arab boycott by refusing to open an office in Israel." AT THE same time, the news- paper Newsday reported today that Chase Manhattan faces boy- cott proceedings by the Arab League. Stating that his bank serves countries in all parts of the world in "the cause of international commerce," Rockefeller noted that "We have for a good many years, served the banking require- ments of the State of Israel, al- ways basing our decisions on sound economic grounds. Like- wise, we continue to serve the requirements of virtually every other country in the Middle East, based on these same economic principles." The B'nai B'rith Anti Defama- tion League recently accused Chase Manhattan of being one of a number of American firms par- ticipating in the Arab boycott of Israel, citing the fact that the bank has not opened a branch in Israel although it has branches in Lebanon and Bahrein and will open one in Egypt A SPOKESMAN of the bank said Friday that it bad given con- sideration at one time to opening a branch in Israel but decided that a branch there would not be profitable. Rockefeller said in his state- ment that 'The heart of the mat- ter is that we are carrying on normal business operations in the Middle East at a time when fundamental and far-reaching po- litical issues are at stake. Con- sequently, it is quite understand- able that all concerned should be seeking to achieve maximum ad- vantage for their side." Envoy Denies His Meddling Words JERUSALEM (JTA) Daniel Nestor, the economic and commercial attache at the United States Consulate m East Jerusalem, denied to the Jewish Telegraphic Agencv that he had made remarks disparaging to Israel at a recent meeting with West Bank Arab businessmen in Ramallah. According to press reports here, Neston said at a Ra- mallah Chamber of Commerce meeting that the West Bank- ers soon will not need Israeli permits to conduct business "because Israel will have nothing to say in these matters." NESTOR ALSO allegedly advised the Arab merchants to do business directly with American firms rather than through Israeli or Jordanian firms and suggested that they open their own office in the U.S. to encourage American investments on the West Bank. Nestor told the JTA that he had said nothing of a political nature to the Ramallah Chamber of Commerce. Chase Bank Vows To Continue Present Policy J IF YOU'RE 50 OR OVER, I CAN SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE.

Kurtzbard. Mr. Kurtzbard was born in 1940 in Poland; he and his parents later* escaped from a concentration camp and have been living in Israel since 1950. He completed his studies in Economics, Sociology, and Po- litical Science at the Hebrew University and has been working for Bank Leumi Le-lsrael B.M. since 19r,1 in a variety of capacities, including Business Development and Provident Funds. <;:.i i ,n.' ..'. i i i ,i Percentage 1973 41.6 1972 38.2 35.8 46.4 37.2 46.2 34.8 40.4 36.9 36.7 I Bank Leumi Le-lsrael B.M., Israel's leading commercial bank, was incorporated in 1951 to take over and continue the business ot the Anglo-Palestine Bank Ltd., which was established by the Zionist Movement in London in 1902 under the name of the Anglo-Palestine Company as a subsidiary of the Jewish Colonial Trust Ltd., and opened its first office in Jaffa in 1903. The Anglo-Palestine Bank soon became the principal financial in- stitution of the young "yisbuv." In 1908 it was active in the financial arrangements for building Tel-Aviv. In 1910 its original caDital of 40.000 had increased to 100,000 and by 1914 deposits and reached 400,000. SOON AFTER the outbreak of the war, the Turkish authorities ordered the bank to be liquidated, but it managed to survive clan- destinely and by the end of the war its deposits stood at 700.00", The Anglo-Palestine Bank was able to maintain its leading posi- tion under the British Mandate. Its board was transferred from Lon- don to Tel-Aviv in 1931. Deposits rose from 1,550,000 in 1932 to 6.150,000 in 1939. In anticipation of independence in 1948, the bank prepared its own currency notes. With the declaration of the State of Israel, the Analo-Palestine Bank became government banker and bank of issue, until the establishment of the bank of Israel in December 1954. AMONG THE specialized institutions established by the bank, in cooperation with the Jewish Agency, were: th? General Mortgage Bank (1924); the Ozar le-Ta'asiyyah (Industry Fund, 1944) and the Ozar le-Hak-la'ut (Agricultural Fund, 1944; merged in 1960 into Va'ad Agricultural Development Bank). In 1934 a securities clearing house was set up, the forerunner of the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange. The Bank Leumi Le-lsrael Invest- ment Corporation, the first in the country was formed in 1945. Bank Leumi acquired the majority of the shares of the Union Bank of Israel, the country's fourth largest commercial bank, a specialist in diamond-industry financing, in 1961, and in 1966 it bought the large cooperative bank Kupat Milveh la-Oleh "Immigrant Loan Bank"). In 1974 the bank had 315 branches and offices in Israel and abroad. Its subsidiary in New York is Bank Leumi Trust Company of New York, which has six branches (Member F.D.I.C); and Leumi Securities Corporation. Other subsidiaries abroad are the Bank Leumi (U.K.) in Lon- don, Bank Leumi Switzerland in Zurich and Geneva, Bank Leumi Le- lsrael (France) S.A. and Luxinvest S.A., opening soon in Chicago.

Mr. Cohn reported on his recent visit to Israel and the serious conditions under which all the Israeli people ere now living. Mr. Cohn's appeal for in- creased support resulted in a commitment by the committee to obtain maximum funds from the residents of the two Qua- domain buildings. NEW YORK (JTA) Avra- ham Shavit, president-elect of the Israel Manufacturers Asso- ciation, said here that Israel's industrial output in 1974 was 15 percent more than In 1973 and reached a tctal value of $1,250 billion. He spoke at a press confer- ence sponsored by the American Jewish Committee. Shavit said it was a distortion of the condi- tion of Israel's economy to de- scribe it as facing an "economic collapse." This evaluation "is not true," ht added, but admit- ted that Israel was facing eco- nomic problems. HOWEVER, he said, these dif- ficulties arc shared by all the industrialized countries, citing the impact of inflation and snortages of raw materials as the major problems of Israel and other industrialized nations. Shavit, who arrived here for a three-week speaking tour for the Israel Bond Organization, said Israel's economy was further burdened by a costly defense budget, which consumes 40 per- cent of Israel's GNP, and by the need to absorb immigrants. He said outlays tor defense and immigration were inflation- ary, adding that "these expendi- tures are like pouring fuel" on Israel's inflation. SHAVIT, who is managing di- rector of Shavit Oven, the larg- est plant of its kind in Israel, warned that the recently inten- sified economic warfare by the Arabs was "a threat to the whole industrial world" and not only to Israel. He said petro-dollars and oil were "sophisticated weapons in the hands of not very sophisti- cated people," the Arabs. He warned there was a danger that the economies of all industrial- affected.

The increase in credits can be attributed mainly to an increase-------------------------- in loans in foreign currency as well as in loans from earmarked Group Seeks Singles deposits. The Bank Leumi Group in Israel accounts for some 38 per cent of total bank loans to the public and its share in the Directed Credit Funds reaches 40 per cent. Particiularly outstanding is its share in the financing of export industries, chief among them citrus fruits, cotton and diamonds. Diamond, financing in the Group is managed as a consortium by Union Bank. The number of Borrowers' Accounts held by the Group is in the region of 280,000 and more than 90 per cent of them are loans for lesstthan 10,000, a fact which shows the weight of the small bor- rower in the Bank.

The accusation was made by a group of 15 Jewish ac- tivists who met with West- ern journalists in Moscow, according to the National Conference on Soviet Jewry, kovetsky, of Leningrad; Valery THEY INDICATED that the Buiko. of Riga; and Yuli Brind, David Blumberg Speaker At B'nai B'rith Installation strategy apparently is aimed at splitting the hard-core activists anil intimidating other Jews from seeking exit visas. A state- ment distributed to foreign newsmen cited the cases of two activists, Mark Nashpitz and Boris TBitlionok who were among seven demonstators ar- rested outside the Lenin Library in Moscow Feb. 24 for protest- ing the denial of visas. While the others were either released or given brief jail terms for "hooliganism," Nashpitz and Tsitlionok were held for trial. The charges against them were unspecified until last week when they were formally charged un- der Art. 190-3 of the Soviet Leonid Lotvin and Yacov Vin- One of them, Prof. Alexander Penal Code for "the organiza- tion or active participation in group actions disturbing public order." They face prison terms of up to three years. AT THE same time, however, exit visas were granted to 10 "hard core" activists. They were identified as Mikhail Polotsk, Vladimir Davidov, Yaacov Schwartzman and Mikhail Agur- sky, all of Moscow; Anatoly Schwartzman and other activ- ist, surnamed Valin of Kishinev; of Kharkov, who was just re- leased from a labor camp. The Macow* acOlvisfe said in their statement that the selec- tion of these men for visas -was a "smoke screen" thrown up by the Soviet authorities to conceal their repression of other Jews. THE STATEMENT disclosed that three other activists were summoned to KGB (secret po- lice) headquarters in Moscow this week and warned that they faced arrest and trial. Luntz, a scientist, were threat- ened with prosecution under Art. 64 of the Penal Code which re- lates to .treason and carries the maximum penalty of death. The other two, Anatoly Sharansky and Leonid Tsipin, were advised that they might be charged un- der Arts. 190 and 70 respective- ly. The latter covers anti-Soviet agitation.

By YITZHAK SHARGIL TEL AVIV (JTA) Is- raelis of all political persua- sions appeared here to stand fully behind Premier Yitz- hak Rabin's government's refusal to agree to major territorial withdrawals in Sinai without a formal dec- laration of non-belligerency by Egypt. Histadrut, Israel's power- ful labor federation, issued a statement pledging its full- est support of the govern- ment's policy. SECRETARY General Yehu- ram Meshel said Israeli work- ers back the government's de- cision, and although they ardent- ly desire peace, they understand that the Egyptian attitude made it impossible for Premier Rabin to accept Cairo's territorial de- mands.

SALABERT, M.D. Announces The Opening of his Office for GENERAL PRACTICE 6099 Hollywood Boulevard Hours: By App't. 9-5 Daily (Including Wednesday) Telephone 983-6865 deeply regrets the failure to reach a second-stage accord with Egypt. Mapam urged continued efforts to seek a peace settle- ment. The Civil Rights Movement, headed by Shulamit Aloni, also declared its support for the deci- sion but at the same time ac- cused the Rabin government of misrepresenting Israel's case, both internally and abroad. TZVI BERNSTEIN, secretary general of the National Religi- ous Party, a member of Rabin's coalition, said the latest de- velopments made it all the more urgent to establish a govern- ment of national unity. He said this was now possible as a result of the "rapproche- ment" between Rabin and Likud leader Menachem Beigin. He was referring to the fact that Rabin telephoned Beigin to re- port the situation to him and personally briefed Beigin and other Likud leaders on Satur- day. If Israelis generally did not hold their own government to blame for the collapse of the second-stage peace talks, and put the onus squarely on the Egyptians, there was also bit- terness against the two super- powers expressed in editorials in the country's two mass cir- culation evening newspapers. M \ Ahiv acknowledged the dan- ger of a serious erosion of Amer- ican-Israeli relations and said the delay in inviting Israeli pilots to train on the new F-15 jets was symptomatic of the American attitude even before the failure of Kissinger's talks. The paper added that whi'e Israel has no desire to split with the U.S., it must be prepared for such an eventuality and must mobilize for a vast political and propaganda campaign in the international arena and espe- cially in the U.S. Yediot Achronot suggested that Egypt's tough stand may well have resulted from behind the scenes maneuvers by the Soviet Union and also by the collapse of the American strate- gic position in the Far East. WHATEVER, the case. Kis- singer should have realized where his "Chamberiainian" line (apiieasementl would lead his own country and the entire free world, the newspaper said, ad- ding that Kissinger's failure in the Middle East should sound the alarm for a change of Amer- ican policy in general. Random samplings of public opinion included the view that the United States was blaming Israel for denying it a much needed diplomatic tri m.li ;n the Middle East at a time when its policies in Indo-China ure in shambles and its Western alli- ance is endangei ed by L e sharp leftist swing in Poitjga:, a NATO memfce.. Some Israelis expressed the view t; at the U.S. had pressed Israel ha,d for concessions and was now attempting to hold the weaker party responsible for its diplomatic failure. Others dis- agreed and claimed that was not the genuine American attitude.

A special feting of the Campaign Serv- ices Committee focused on ex- tending maximum momentum and progress during the mid-season phase of the 1975 campaigns. On two major issues of deep Federation concern considered by the Community Planning Com- mittee, the following actions were taken: in the matter of "Local 'Resettlement of Soviet Jews," the creation of a broad- based national committee to in- volve local Federation leadership with key agencies (such as United Hias Service, Jewish Welfare Board, United Jewish Appeal, Jewish Occupational Council, Na- tional Council of Jewish Women) was approved to coordinate serv- ices, costs and staff, mobilize volunteers, help in shaping com- munity understanding; as well as to refine the process of matching job skills with local placements for the newcomers, and to start a process of "interpreting the American and general Jewish community" to them before they leave Europe. IN ITS review of the "Impact of the Recession on Jewish Com- LEO MINDLIN munal Services," Federations were urged to seek out fresh funding sources, in particular governmental, and to be open to more intensified service needs, new clients and to maintain an ongoing review of their agency's programs. Under the auspices of the Na- tional Endowment Fund Com- mittee, progress in finalizing the Jewish Federation Pooled Income Fund for long range financing was reported to community leaders.

The Israeli group said it wrote to the Federation., meeting in Holland this week, pointing out that Israel is the only country so far to submit an offer for next year's contest but was ruled out on the basis of the po- litical situation in the Middle East. "On the basis of purely chess interests we have both the right and the resources to host the 1976 Olym- piad.

CONGRESSIONAL SUPPORT for Israel remained "high," ac- cording to Kenen. as well among the general population; although the attraction of business leader to petrodollars and the power of oil would continue to make it- self felt. The work of the Israel Task Force of the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council in making available posi- tion papers, polls, media features, radio and film materials, was recognized as highlighting the need for the continuation of such an emergency program to serve communities. Other areas covered during the four days, inclusive of meetings to deal with the special needs of large, intermediate and small cities, public relations, and Worn- er's Communal Service, were: A review of community ex- periences and their response to the draft guidelines by the CJF Task Force on Federation-Syna- gogue Relations was made; with pilot liaison programs in the area of youth services and family- counseling and the setting up of local task forces being recom- mended. The Committee on Federa- tion Planning for Jewish Educa- tion, in its analysis of recently- issued figures of Federation allo- cations in the fieid in 1973, noted that 93 communities reported a high of $16 mil.ion in allocations - a 127 per cent increase etace 1967. and a 12'a per cenfc in- crease'over the prior year;-the rate of increased allocations for Jewish education running much higher than for all local purpos- es; and that a majority of its subsidy funds are allocated to day schools. Further progress in shaping draft guidelines for Fed- eration support of congregational schools, was also made. The role of fund-raising in developing communal leaders, plans for an international youth leadership seminar in Israel this summer and community experi- ence in the use of a recent com- mittee manual on Jewish identity were aniona the agenda items at the Committee on Leadership Development session; capped that evening with its traditional dinner and services.

Rabbi Barr/Altman issuesrelevant to Jewish life past and present K^fnsidc juclai By Dr. Frederick T.achman Executive Editor Encyclopaedia Judaica What is the status of Jews in Turkey? In 1969. says the authoritative Encyclops.-dia Judaica, there were 35-40,000 Jews in Turkey, nearly all Sephardim, of whom 30,000 lived in Istanbul. Ashken- azim, called "Poles" by the Turks because of the 17th and 18th century immigration from Po- land, accounted for 3-5 per cent of the Jews. German-speaking Ashkenazim who arrived later from Austria formed the elite of the community, and the Great Synagogue built by them became known as the "Austrian Temple." After the death of the last of- ficiating Rabbi (1944), the con- gregation went into a decline and was in danger of complete dis- integration. The older generation of Seph- ardic Jews continued to speak ' Ladino. In The 1955 census, 64 per cent among the Jews declar- ed that their mother tongue was Yahudice (Ladino) compared with 84 per cent in 1927, but knowledge of Ladino is decreas- ing. There are about 200 Karaite families (1,000 people) living in a suburb of Istanbul whose fore- fathers settled in the city in Byzantine times, ot recognizing the Talmudic-Rabbinnical tradi- tion, they established their own aica synagogue and cemetery and are completely separated from the rest of the community. The peace treaty of Lausanne (July 24, 1923) followed by the abolition of the caliphate, assur- ed the minorities living in Tur- key their personal status as pro- vided by their religious canons. The Turkish republic was declar- ed a secular state, and Kemal Ataturk, its founder, attempted to erase all signs of the religious- institutional influence of Islam and also to maintain equality of Christianity and Judaism in pub- lic life. The wearing of a "cler- ical garb," for example, was pro- hibited. For Jews the prohibition on teaching Hebrew in schools was a hard blow. After Ataturk* death in 1938, many of the pro- hibited. For Jews, the prohibition eased, but the general attitude toward the religious minorities remained unchanged. Nevertheless, says the E/J, Jews remained second-class citi- zens in Turkey, like Greeks and the Armenians. This was demon- strated during World War II, as Hitler's propaganda gained ground and it seemed that the Axis Power* were moving toward victory. To meet wartime needs in neutral Turkey, a capital tax was approved (1942), and it soon became apparent that the tax- payer's assessment was based on his religion and nationality. In fact, the poorest among the non- Muslims, especially Jewish arti- Issues And Answers... Our Rabbis' Views Your Yiddishkeit Shows By RABBI HAROLD RICHTER, Jewish Chaplain of Broward to. A ffW T1!" ag0' Dr" Euene Borowitz, noted Jewish educa- S;n enruan,c ctu:er wrote a book entitied' ^ Sslew" Wear In it, the author states his belief that most of us are really more Jewish than we would be willing to admit. It is a 'new twist- to the American Jew's dilemma and a theme that came to mind when I thought of a strange visit to a Jewish patient in a Broward County hospital. In the incident which I am about to relate, the patient after RahhTfi tmdUC,iKn'graei0Usly extended his hand and ^claimed, Rabbi, I will say hollo, and that's it." I am not here to intrude upon an individual's privacy, and would have graciously taken leave as there are numerous Jewish patients where I can expect a heartier welcome. However, a Talmudic injunction came to mind at this point: "Follow every request your host makes except the one in which he says "go." Intuitively, I sensed there was more to come and so I graciously sat down, and strangely, he did too. The man then spewed forth: "I am angry with God!" (he spoke onutbturstYiddiSh)' PCrhaPS hC MW WM DOt takeD aback ** his The shtetl Jew says: "If God would have lived in the shtetl, they would have broken his windows!" In these days it is good to see a Jew who is not indifferent to God, but has some feelings for him pro or con. f He then changed his theme and tone and spoke of how Jewish his son was and how in his work he often has occasion to act as a lay rabbi. He went on to say how he looked forward to Passover, for then his "Jewish" son would come to visit and lead a real tradi- tional seder. The conversation continued and he told me that at the delicate age of 11, God has taken his father from him and that he was till very angry. Since then he has very rarely entered any syna- gogue. I explained to him that he may have missed a great many spiritual joys and warm opportunities for friendship because he had estranged himself. I wonder how many of us are like my slightly-confused patient not only denying our closeness with Judaism, but actually missing out on its many goodies because of some frozen anger or other excuse. f To put it in terms of the book, I mentioned, "The Masks Jews Wear," it's time to doff our masks as Jews. sans and wage earners, were tax- ed at rates wildly beyond their ability to pay. Through the spring and summer of 1943 the continuing arrests, seizures, and deportations were almost all of non-Muslims, the majority of whom were Jews. With the de- cline of German power, a law was passed (1944) releasing all defaulters still detained and can- celling all amounts still unpaid. After the end of the war, the Judaica relates, the general situ- ation improved. In 1968 the eco- nomic situation of Turkish Jewry was good. There were few under- privileged since most of the needy had settled in Israel soon after its establishment. Minor persecutions of Jews in Istanbul occurred, however, through ten- sion between Turkey and Cyprus, during the anti-Greek riots in 1955 and 1964, and during the Six-Day War. The Turkish gov- ernment, having established dip- lomatic relations with Israel, tried to quell mob violence. Anti-Sem- itism though prohibited by law, has not been erased and is dis- guised as anti-communism. How were the Danish Jews rescued during the Holo- caust? For almost three and a half years, from the day of Denmark's occupation by Nazi Germany on April 9, 1940, the nearly 10,000 Danish Jews and Jewish refugees were not molested. The Danes, while collaborating with the Ger- mans in the so-called policy of negotiation, simultaneously ex- tended full political, social, juri- dical, and personal protection to the Jews and their property. The behaviour of the Danish authori- ties and the population was so steadfast that the Germans did not think it profitable to injure the Danish Jewish population, the Encyclopaedia Judaica states. Things changed when Ger- many, on Aubust 28,1943, abolish- ed the Danish-German agree- ment. In September 1943 martial law was declared. The represen- tative of the German Reich, the Nazi. Werner Best, advocated using this opportunity to deport the Jews. The attache for ship- ping affairs, F. G. Dukwitz, who maintained good relations with leading Danish Social Democrats, informed them of the impending danger for the Jews. His warning was quickly spread by Danish citizens, organizations and by the Jews themselves, and overnight a rescue organization sprung up that helped 7,200 Jews and about 700 non-Jewish relatives escape to Sweden in less than three weeks. Danish captains and fish- ermen carried out this operation. What began as a spontaneous popular movement was developed into an organized action by the Danish resistance movement. The cost of the transfer amounted to about 12 million Danish crowns, of which tae Jews themselves paid approximately 8^4 to 7 mil- lion. The rest was provided out of private and public Danish con- tributions. During the night of the per- secution (October 1-2, 1943) and following it, less than 500 Jews were seized by the Germans. They were sent to Theresienstadt and remained there until the spring of 1945. when they too CANDIELIGHT1NG TIM! 30 NISAN 7:22 5 were brought to Sweden by the action of the Swedish Red Cross headed by Count Bernadotte. Upon their return from Sweden to Denmark at the end of the war, most of the Jews found their property intact, the Encyclopae- dia Judaica says. It may be estimated that ap- proximately 120 people perished because of the persecution: about 50 in Therc;ienstadt and a few more in other camps. Close to the same number committed suicide or were drowned on their way to Sweden. Less than 2 per cent of the Jewish population of Den- mark perished. Denmark, during the Holocaust, was a beacon that the rest of Europe should have followed . but did not so that the Holocaust came to represent the European attitude toward Jews and the humane love of the Dane for their fellowmen was simply a benevolent postscript in a brutal and inhuman time. Great Jewish Personalities The Lion Of Safed, Isaac Luria By DR. MAXWELL BERGER Temple Samu-EI Safed is the northern most city in Israel and the highest. It sits atop the mountain range of upper Galilee, 2,700 feet above sea level. In the century following the Jewish Expulsion from Spain this little town became the seat, and fountain-head of the Kab- balists, a small but potent group of pious scholars who devoted themselves to the regeneration of the Jewish Oral Tradition, and delved into esoteric doc- trines and sought to fathom oc- cult lore and interpret Jewish mysticism. One of the key figures who personified these tendencies was Rabbi Isaac Luria, who was re- garded as the founder of the school of pratical Kabbala. His brief life of only 38 years (1534-15721 is encrusted with layers of legend. He was dedi- cated to the pursuit of the spirit- ual and his students and dis- ciples revered him as the ideal of spirituality. They called him Adonenu, Our Master. The letter 'A," ana the initials of Rabbi Isaac form the word ARI. which is the Hebrew for "Lion." He was thus known as "The Lion" and his students were known as the "Gurei H'ari The Young Lions." The letter "H" was added to his name to stand for "Ha-ElobJ the di- vine," and he has since been known as Ha-Ari. In the heart of Safed stands the Ha-Ari Synagogue as a liv- ing shrine wnere one can visual- ize this saintly scholar surround- ed by his disciples gathering for prayer and engaging in mystical discourses on the secrets of God and His hidden meanings. Isaac Luria was born in Jeru- salem in 1534. His father. Solo- mon Ashkenazi, who had emi- grated from Germany, died at a very early age and Isaac was sent to Cairo to be brought up by an uncle. He was a brilliant student and became a Talmudic authority in his teens. Although he was groomed to engage in his uncle's pepper and grain business, the rising trend of mystic studies intrigued him. When he was about 22, he withdrew to a small island in the Nile near Cairo. There he lived alone for the next 13 years visiting his family only on Sab- baths and holidays. He was en- grossed in the study of all con- temporary Kabbalists, with par- ticular emphasis on the Zohar which had then just recently been published. The Zohar, as a commentary on the inner and hidden mean- ings of the Bible, has been de- scribed as a mixture of theo- sophic theology, mystical psy- chology, myth and poetry. Old gnostic doctrines, mystical tradi- tions, theurgic speculations, pop- ular superstitions and mytho- logical motifs dwell side by side with echoes of Neo-Platonic and Aristotelian philosophic theories about the nature of the Cosmos and about the relationship be- tween a transcendant God and a finite world. ^ .. Long periods of seclusion "and contemplation nurtured his flex- ible imagination and he began to believe that he had commu- nication with Elijah, who on numerous occasions explained to him the difficult passages in the Zohar. He believed that in his sleep his soul engaged in discourses with the ancient Talmudic Sages in Heaven. His disciples attrib- uted to him supernatural knowl- edge, the power of performing miracles, the ability to exorcise demons, and a knowledge of the languages of the trees, the birds and the angels. In 1569, Luria responding to a "divine call" settled in Safed which had become a center of Kabbalistic mysticism. Instantly ' he was surrounded by a coterie of disciples and colleagues who eagerly awaited his lectures and interpretations. Among them were Solomon Alkabetz, Joseph Caro, Moses Cordevero, Hayim Vital, Moses Zacuto and Moses Hayim Luzatto. Although Luria himself wrote virtually notning save for a few poems and Sabhath hymns in Aramaic, most of his theoretical Kabbala was published by his students as notes taken from his lectures and discourses. These ideas spread throughout every country of the Diaspora, their cosmic drama of Exile and Redemption caught the imagina- tion of the masses as well as the scholars. Elements of the Lu- rianic Kabbala lay behind the messianic claims of Shabbetai Zevi in the 17th century, and behind Chassidism, the revival- ist movement stemming from Israel Ben Eliezer, Baal Shem Tov, in the 18th century. Rabbi Isaac Luria, Ha-Ari The Lionthe legendary giant in Jewish tradition and Jewish literature, died in Safed in 1574. He was buriedalong with Rab- bi Joseph Caro, and the other Talmudic luminaries of the 16tb century, in the cemetery on the slope below the Art Synagogue, facing Meron, the shrine of Rab- bi Shimon Bar Yochai, the au- thor of the Zohar.

EN TO return to the origi- esis: Suppose they gave a. and Israel didn't attend? er all, the Ford-Kissinger impatience with an "intransi- gent" and "stubborn" Israel is all the scenario the Russians and Arabs need to be stubborn and intransigent in equal and oppo- site directions. Why should Is- rael attend? Would the United States join the Soviets, the only bargainer that really counts, in punishing Israel? That depends upon what one means by punishment. Even given the growing sense of isolationism seizir. the American Congress, and particu- larly with respect to Israel the palpable development of anti-Is- rael feeling based on the real- politik of oil and exoressed in classical anti-Semitic terms, I can not conceive of a cut-off imposed on Israel in the same way that the Congress is imposing a cut- off on Southeast Asia. MOST PEOPLE may not under- stand the subtle distinction be- tween Maoism and Muscovite Communism, but they know as a practical matter that what is at stake in the Middle East is the ascendancy of the latter, not the former. (That is why we are abandon- ing Southeast Asia, which is fall- ing victim to the formerthe Ma- oists. Not only do we not popu- larly understand that each is equally dangerous, but in fact the legacy of the Nixon years is that we have com.e to regard the Ma- oists as the latter-day Noble Sav trusalem Mum on Ford Anger age undeserving of the reserve between ourselves and the Mus- covites. In fact, detente with the Maoists is part of what the Ford administration sees as unfinished business to which he must get down quickly If only those damned Israelis would do just exactly what Kissinger tells them to.) Furthermore, a diminished and mortally-threatened Israel would be a greater danger to Europe than any single selfish inwardly- turned European nation, includ- ing the elegant French, can pos- sibly imagine at this time.

She said that after listen- ing to his report of the past two weeks of negotiations she fully backed the Rabin government's decision not to yield to Egyptian demands.

The weather was hot and stifl- ing, one of the warmest pre- Passover nights on record. Doors and windows were open all over Tel Aviv and radio and television sets were on, mostly broadcasting pop music from Europe. It was well past midnight when a news flash interrupted the reg- ular proarams to announce the failure of the negotiations.

There is, of course, always the tax-exempt status of UJA against which the Congress can turn, but that kind of blackmail would work in too many non-Jewish di- rections as well, and could hard- ly get oft the ground short of the emergence of a frank, selective political American anti-Semitism. In sum, for America to join Ruiua in punishing Israel under any circumstances would be for America to punish America, as well, although that viewpoint may not be eminently clear in the be- fogged American congressional consciousness yet. Hence. Israel might well con- ceive of ignoring Geneva. The Romans mav have already staked out the arena, and may indeed have their well-oiled lions at the ready, but at least for the mo- ment the necessity for Israel to submit to being eaten is less ur- gent than we may think.

It will begin in Netanya, located on the Israeli coastline next Septem- ber, and participants will enjoy special benefits and partial pay during the ten month course. Israel has hundreds of job openings for social workers at present The supply of graduates from Israeli universities does not meet the need. This special orientation program is aimed at filling the pressing shortage. The first four months of the study program will be devoted to intensive study of the Hebrew language. Concurrent with the Hebrew studies, lectures will be offered on Israel's society, po- litical make up. cu'.tural set up. economy, demography and social ican educated social workers in services. Participants will go on field trips in order to get acquainted with social services facilities. Meetings will also be arranged with potential employers and par- ticipants will be offered a choice of field placements. In the fifth month, participants will be eased into the social services in the areas. All participants will enjoy the benefits offered to new immi- grants including the right to re- quest a long-term, interest-free loan for travel to Israel. Success- ful completion of the course will guarantee a position. Registration and further infor- mation may be obtained at the regional Israel Alivah Centers.

From the early stages of the negotiations, Israel stated its readiness to evacuate the Gidi and Mitla Passes and the Abu Rodeis oil fields in return for a renunciation of the state of war by Egypt. Egypt refused to renounce the state of war and insisted that it continue. "Nevertheless, Israel offered, in return for a less bind- ing political undertaking, to withdraw its forces from the present disengagement lines, including thp western part of the strategic passes, the Mitla and the Gidi, and to trans- fer them to United Nations control. Israel also offered to transfer the oil fields to Egyptian administration. This of- fer was rejected as well by Egypt. This rejection by Egypt led to the suspension of the talks. "Israel remains ready as always to persevere in its efforts to- ward a settlement with Egypt and will continue to maintain the closest contacts with the U.S. government toward this end. Israel extends its dee;> gratitude to the U.S. government and particularly to Secretary of State iCissinger for his untiring efforts in the cause of peace." State Department Statement JERUSALEM (JTA)State Department spokesman Robert Anderson issued the following statement on behalf of Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger: "We have been seeking in response to the desires of the parties to help them achieve a further step towards a peace settlement. We believe both sides have made serious efforts to reach a success- ful outcome. Unfortunately, the differences on a number of key issues have proven irreconcilable. We tnerefore believs a period of reassessment is needed so that all concerned can consider how best to proceed towards a lasting peace. "Secretary Kissinger has accordingly informed the parties that he is suspending his present efforts and returning to Washington to report to the President and the Congress on the negotiations. He will remain in close touch with the parties and the cochairman Religious Services HALLANDALE HALLANDALE JEWISH CENTER (Coneervative). 418 NE 8th Avs Rabbi Harry E. Schwartz. Canto* Jacob Danzlaer.

This thesis is developed with strong documentary Id other corroboration-- in a new book by ace re- irtT-turned historical-novelist. Dan Kurzman, "The re for Rome," published by Doubleday and Co. KURZMAN, author of the popular "Genesis 1948" (the foundation of the State of Israel, was formerly |op ranking roving correspondent for "The Washing- Post." He is currently in Israel researching for his Let book, a detailed account of the Warsaw ghetto pising. "The Race for Rome" took Kurzman three years |rc;earch and write. While dialogue and description vividly written, they are carefully credited in foot- les and addenda. Kurzman explained that he was anxious to avoid criticism or allegations that he had "created" dia- ueas were levelled against him by some review- of "Genesis 1948," quite wrongly, he says. JDavict ^L^anJaii THE HITLER plot to kidnap the Pope is authenti- cated by interviews Kurzman conducted with SS Gen- eral Karl Wolff, now living quietly in Germany after serving a 20-year prison term. Wolff recalled from his own contemporary notes the day Hitler called him from Rome to the Nazi HQ in September, 1943, and ordered him to prepare a plan to occupy the Vatican and kidnap the Pope. Wolff says today that though he obeyed the order to plan the assault, he would never have actually car- ried it out. Kurzman writes, too, that other top Ger- man generals and officials serving in Italy had their grave doubts about the wisdom of Hitler's planamong them Ambassador Ernst von Wiezsaecker. This, however, did not prevent the Ambassador from pointedly hinting at the "violent reaction" that could be expected from Hitler, both against the Jews and against the Church, if he (the Ambassador) were to relay to Berlin the protest which thc.Vstican sought to make in October, when the SS began rounding up the Jews of the Roman ghetto. KURZMAN dramatically describes how a sympa- thetic Italian Princess. Enza Pignatclli, told the Pope at his dawn mass of the deportation of the Jews of Rome, how the Pope expressed his shocked incredulity, how he ordered his Secretary of State. Cardinal Mag tione. to protest lo Germany, how the Cardinal met with Ambassador Von Wiezsaecker with the thought uppermost in both their minds being Hitler's known desire to kidnap the Pope and occupy the Vatican when, and if, the opportunity presented itself. The Secretary of State expressed the Pope's protest at the deportation, and then agreed to the envoy's unprecedented diplomatic suggestion: that he not con- vey the Papal protest to Berlin. Pius' relations with the occupying Germans im- proved thereafter, with the Pope asking for, and re- ceiving, additional units of German police to guard the Vatican. l'i!m>lll"!!ft I '."I IMMMMHInivi ,!

His book "Your People, My People" (New York, Quad ran gle Books, $8.98, 275 pp.) is his recent attempt to advance Jewish-Christian understanding. The Pope and the Vatican secretariat would be well advised to read it. The author traces the history of Church anti Semitism inspired by New Testament sources and times to the post -Holocaust era. BE STRESSES that the integrity of Chris- tianity is involved unless there is a sharp de- lation in Christian theology and attitudes. He appeals for Christian penitence. His chapters "Toward Authenticity" and "Deeds," are excel toot springboards for true Jewish-Christian dia Re affirms that Christian anti-Zionism and even handed ne*s represent anti-Semitism in a new form. He states that, "The serious daagcr in -preachments stressing Arab rights is a strengthen- ing of those forces and interests that are beat upon the destruction of the Jews of Israel" . ORBIS BOOKS, of Man-knoll. New York, have published several books that present in teresting views. Among these are "The Jewish Jesus," by Robert Aron. $4.95, 183 pp.); "Rich Church-Poor Church," by Enzo Gatti ($4.95, 127 pp.); "African Bedfellows Make Strange Politics in Modern World 1 OOKING NOW in sorrow upon the fall-out from recent explosions in the United Nathim General Assembly and UNESCO, one is hurt most of all to note Americans of stature upholding those Third World politicians who defile and putrefy the agencies of international cooperation Dr. Benjamin Spock, who has counseled so often against violence, now scolds our UN Am bassador John A.

ROGER N. BALDWIN, who at 91 is honored for his unending battles against totalitarian fore es, astounds his friends by declaring that the General Assembly, having recognized the PLO, is now closer than ever to functioning "as a uni- versal agency for mankind." Homer A. Jack, secretary general of the World Conference on Religion and Peace, de- clares he is ashamed of Ambassador Scali and mutters that the United States "hardly has clean hands in this controversy."

"The Jewish Jesus" is a biography of Jesus gleaned not so much from Christian sourcas as from Jewish sources and prayers which the au- thor asserts shaped the life of the man. WHILE ONE can differ from much of the Christian Interpretation in the book, the render ing of the Jewish liturgy and Aron's appeal for the use and understanding of prayer is one that shonld be heeded. Irtowu's book has many scholarly pages de- fining religion and its study as well as a surfeit of other definitions of religious terms. "African Traditional cV-ligion" doos not discuss the many different religions sects er faiths in the Dark Continent but primarily the basics of religion and tome of the commonalities among the different beliefs. . TBB ITALIAN theologian. Eneo Gatti. takes the Catholic Church to task for not embracing the poor to a much greater extent. He appeals for Christianity to elevate deeds above liturgy. His theology is Christ-oriented, and conse quently his interpretations of the Bible and the post-Jesus era are clouded by this factor. Ocaa/ 0* ONE OF the stated purposes of the UN, clearly spelled out in its charter, is "to be a center for harmonizing the actions of nations in the attainment of (certain) common ends" those objectives including the achievement of international cooperation in solving problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character. When a president of the General Assembly for the first time in the body's history uses that high post for political advantage, when represen- tatives of the Arab-Asian-African bloc arbitrarily try to legislate the State of Israel out of exis- tence, how can Americans like Spock, Baldwin, and Jack justify their contribution to the schem- ing, offensive activities of the new majority? LET DR. SPOCK and Messrs. Baldwin and Jack eoj-ider for a moment one of the Third World bloc's excuses for banning Israel from UNESCO European regional membership. What was Israel's transgression? Well, her renowned archeologists and engi- neers had been altering the historic features of Jerusalem. Israel's search for artifacts annoyed Arab*. In that instance.

Radically different. The only radial with steel sidewalls. The MM. All-Steel Radial is the world's first all-steel radial tire for automobiles. It's the most economical tire you can own. Because of the radial design, you get more miles per gallon of gas than from either bias or belted bias tires. Because of the exclusive I.R.I. All-Steel construction, you get thousands of extra miles out of the tire itself. We believe the result is the lowest cost per mile of driving from any kind or any brand of tire on the market today. Our engineers believe the I.R.I. All-Steel Radial drives safer, rides more comfortably, steers more precisely and responds surer than any other tire you can buy at any price. We guarantee them for 50.000 miles. What's more, Norton is so sure you'll find these the finest tires you've ever. had that if you are not satisfied at any time within 90 days, we will refund your purchase price in full. No tricks. No hidden charges. But, boil it all down and you've got three basic tire types to consider. I. BIAS 2. BELTED 3. RADIAL 1. BIAS TIRES Two. (our or sometimes even more plies (or layers) of material cross under the tread at an angle or bias to the center line ol the lire. Generally the cheapest tire to buy. 2. BELTED TIRES Similar to the bias tire with the addition of two or more belts of material that run around the tire under the tread This combines a bias sidewall with increased tread stability and improved tread lite. 3. RADIAL TIRES Offer the most desirable features Cords of material run from sidewall to sidewall crossing the tread at 90 degrees Two or more belts of material also run around the tire Price per tire is higher, but cost per mile is lower. Buying tires is tough enough. You almost need an engineer's education to understand tire advertising these days. There are bias and belted and radial types. F-78's and FR-78's and 7.75 s all of which fit the same car. And nylon and rayon and polyester and fiberglass and steel. And plies on plies. AVAILABLE ONLY AT NORTON SINCE 1924 TIRE CO SERVICE 1. The only tire with STEEL sidewalls for strength'and flexibility, more protection, more comfort. 2. Two belts of special filament steel cable for maximum tread strength, 30 steel cables per inch. Total: Three layers of steel beneath the head. 3. Double steel protection here. The only passenger tire with steel on both sides of the bead for sure-fire responsiveness. 4. All-weather computer-designed tread. The strongest radial is an all-steel radial. The I.R.I, is the only all-steel radial automobile tire. Conventional, so-called steel radials. put steel to work beneath the tread only. One or two belts of steel run the circumference of the tire and fabric or fiber cords are used radially sidewall to sidewall. The conventional steel radial tire is only a steel-belted radial. This is important in understanding the superiority of an I.R.I. Ail-Steel Radial. An exclusive design and engineering process put more steel in the I.R.I, radial than in any other automobile tire. Two layers or belts of steel cables (30 per inch) make sure the I.R.I, tread stays open for maximum road contact in all kinds of weather. This also reduces friction, which is the biggest single cause of tire wear. A third barrier of steel cables replaces the fabric (polyester, fiberglass, etc ) used in the sidewalls of all other automobile tires The result is 100 per cent steel strength and protection. Rated Load Range D. I.R.I. All-Steel Radials meet government stand- ards equivalent to an eight-ply rating and it's stamped on the side of every I.R.I, tire. Most passenger tires even steel-belted radials earn only a B or four-ply rating. Load Range D means an extra margin of strength and safety for all vehicles, even the heaviest of luxury automobiles, station wagons or pick-ups. Improved steel cable design means extra comfort, too. The I.R.I. AH-Steel Radial uses a specially designed steel cable engineered exclusively for us.

Ail-Steel Radial Now. the combination of steel and tread design provides solid, road-holding performance under all kinds of driving conditions wet or dry, snow or summer heat. The I.R.I, is an all-weather, all-year tire. Why you haven't heard about I.R.I. AH-Steel Radials till now. Compared with the giants of the tire industry, l.R.I. is a relatively small company. We are growing steadily on a market-by-market plan now reaching your city. Five years ago. we set out to produce a tire that was as good as the finest imported tire available Because we had no conventional tire-making equipment, we were free "to try anything." We did. And came up with a totally new idea that produced a tire even better than the one we had set out to make. The l.R.I. AH-Steel Radial has been tested and re-tested. Subjected to literally millions of miles of road-handling experience. Now it's available here. Backed by a 50,000-mile guarantee. Sold and serviced only by proven leaders in the business.

Not only do we not popu- larly understand that each is equally dangerous, but in fact the legacy of the Nixon years is that we have come to regard the Ma- oists as the latter-day Noble Sav rusalem Mum on Ford Anger age undeserving of the reserve between ourselves and the Mus- covites. In fact, detente with the Maoists is part of what the Ford administration sees as unfinished business to which he must get down quickly if only those damned Israelis would do just exactly what Kissinger tells them to.) Furthermore, a diminished and mortally-threatened Israel would be a greater danger to Europe than any single selfish inwardly- turned European nation, includ- ing the elegant French, can pos- sibly imagine at this time.

There is, of course, always the tax-exempt status of UJA against which the Congress can turn, but that kind of blackmail would work in too many non-Jewish di- rections as well, and could hard- ly get oft the ground short of the emergence of a frank, selective political American anti-Semitism. In sum, for America to join Ki' i;i in punishing Israel under any circumstances would be for America to punish America, as well, although that viewpoint may not be eminently clear in the be- fogged American congressional consciousness yet. Hence, Israel might well con- ceive of ignoring Geneva. The Romans mav have already staked out the arena, and may indeed have their well-oiled lions at the ready, but at least for the mo- ment the necessity for Israel to submit to being eaten is less ur- gent than we may think. Israel Recruiting Additional U.S. Educated Social Workers After the recent successful completion of a one year orienta- tion program for qualified Amer- Israel, recruitment for a second course is under way. The program is intended for candidates who hold a Master's degree in social work and are planning to settle in Israel. It will begin in Netanya. located on the Israeli coastline next Septem- ber, and participants will enjoy special benefits and partial pay during the ten month course. Israel has hundreds of job openings for social workers at present The supply of graduates from Israeli universities does not meet the need. This special orientation program is aimed at filling the pressing shortage. The first four months of the study program will be devoted to intensive study of the Hebrew language. Concurrent with the Hebrew studies, lecture1! will be offered on Israel's society, po- litical make up. cu'.tural set up, economy, demography and social ican educated social workers in services. Participants will go on field trips in order to get acquainted with social services facilities. Meetings will also be arranged with potential employers and par- ticipants will be offered a choice of field placements. In the fifth month, particioants will be eased into the social services in the areas. All particioants will enjoy the benefits offered to new immi- grants including the right to re- quest a long-term, interest-free loan for travel to Israel. Success- ful completion of the course will guarantee a position. Registration and further infor- mation may be obtained at the regional Israel Mirah Centers.

In 1969, says the authoritative Encyclopi.-dia Judaica, there were 35-40,000 Jews in Turkey, nearly all Sephardim. of whom 30,000 lived in Istanbul. Ashken- azim, called "Poles" by the Turks because of the 17th and 18th century immigration from Po- land, accounted for 3-5 per cent of the Jews. German-speaking Ashkenazim who arrived later from Austria formed the elite of the community, and the Great Synagogue built by them became known as the "Austrian Temple." After the death of the last of- ficiating Rabbi (1944). the con- gregation went into a decline and was in danger of complete dis- integration. The older generation of Seph- ardic Jews continued to speak Ladino. In The 1955 census, 64 per cent among the Jews declar- ed that their mother tongue was Yahudice (Ladino) compared with 84 per cent in 1927, but knowledge of Ladino is decreas- ing. There are about 200 Karaite families (1.000 people) living in a suburb of Istanbul whose fore- fathers settled in the city in Byzantine times, ot recognizing the Talmudic-Rabbinnical tradi- tion, they established their own aica synagogue and cemetery and are completely separated from the rest of the community. The peace treaty of Lausanne (July 24, 1923) followed by the abolition of the caliphate, assur- ed the minorities living in Tur- key their personal status as pro- vided by their religious canons. The Turkish republic was declar- ed a secular state, and Kemal Ataturk, its founder, attempted to erase all signs of the religious- institutional influence of Islam and also to maintain equality of Christianity and Judaism in pub- lic life. The wearing of a "cler- ical garb," for example, was pro- hibited. For Jews the prohibition on teaching Hebrew in schools was a hard blow. After Ataturk's death in 1938, many of the pro- hibited. For Jews, the prohibition eased, but the general attitude toward the religious minorities remained unchanged. Nevertheless, says the E/J, Jews remained second-class citi- zens in Turkey, like Greeks and the Armenians. This was demon- strated during World War II, as Hitler's propaganda gained ground and it seemed that the Axis Powe" were moving toward victory. To meet wartime needs in neutral Turkey, a capital tax was approved (1942), and it soon became apparent that the tax- payer's assessment was based on his religion and nationality. In fact, the poorest among the non- Muslims, especially Jewish arti- Issues And Answers... Our Rabbis' Views Your Yiddishkeit Shows By RABBI HAROLD RICHTER, Jewish Chaplain of Broward to. A ?" m0!ltI,S ag0' Dr" Eugene Browitz, noted Jewish educa- tor, wner and lecturer wrote a book entitled, "The Mafks S Wear In It, the author states his belief that most of us are really more Jewish than we would be willing to admit. It is a "new twist- to the American Jew's dilemma and a theme that came to mind when I thought of a strange visit to a Jewish patient in a Broward County hospital. In the incident which I am about to relate, the patient after mRyabbh.efli,mdUaC,i0Kn'ngraCi0USly eXtended his hand and exclaimed, Rabbi, I will say hello, and that's it." I am not here to intrude upon an Individual', privacy, and would have graciously taken leave as there are numerous Jewish patients where I can expect a heartier welcome. However, a Talmudic injunction came to mind at this point: "Follow every request your host makes except the one in which he says "go." Intuitively, I sensed there was more to come and so I graciously sat down, and strangely, he did too The man then spewed forth: "I am angry with God!" (he spoke onutburstYiddiSh)' PCrhaP8 hC "* W8S DOt takeB aDack with his The shtetl Jew says: "If God would have lived in the shtetl, they would have broken his windows!" In these days it is good to see a Jew who is not indifferent to God, but has some feelings for him pro or con. He then changed his theme and tone and spoke of how Jewish his son was and how in his work he often has occasion to act as a lay rabbi. He went on to say how he looked forward to Passover, for then his "Jewish" son would come to visit and lead a real tradi- tional seder. The conversation continued and he told me that at the delicate , age of 11, God has taken his father from him and that he was still very angry. Since then he has very rarely entered any syna- gogue. I explained to him that he may have missed a great many spiritual joys and warm opportunities for friendship because he had estranged himself. I wonder how many of us are like my slightly-confused patient not only denying our closeness with Judaism, but actually missing out on its many goodies because of some frozen anger or other excuse. To put it in terms of the book. I mentioned, "The Masks JewB Wear," it's time to doff our masks as Jews. sans and wage earners, were tax- ed at rates wildly beyond their ability to pay. Through the spring and summer of 1943 the continuing arrests, seizures, and deportations were almost all of non-Muslims, the majority of whom were Jews. With the de- cline of German power, a law was passed (1944) releasing all defaulters still detained and can- celling all amounts still unpaid. After the end of the war, the Judaica relates, the general situ- ation improved. In 1968 the eco- nomic situation of Turkish Jewry was good. There were few under- privileged since most of the needy had settled in Israel soon after its establishment. Minor persecutions of Jews in Istanbul occurred, however, through ten- sion between Turkey and Cyprus, during the anti-Greek riots in 1955 and 1964, and during the Six-Day War. The Turkish gov- ernment, having established dip- lomatic relations with Israel, tried to quell mob violence. Anti-Sem- itism though prohibited by law, has not been erased and is dis- guised as anti-communism. How were the Danish Jews rescued during the Holo- caust? For almost three and a half years, from the day of Denmark's occupation by Nazi Germany on April 9, 1940, the nearly 10,000 Danish Jews and Jewish refugees were not molested. The Danes, while collaborating with the Ger- mans in the so-called policy of negotiation, simultaneously ex- tended full political, social, juri- dical, and personal protection to the Jews and their property. The behaviour of the Danish authori- ties and the population was so steadfast that the Germans did not think it profitable to injure the Danish Jewish population, the Encyclopaedia Judaica states. Things changed when Ger- many, on Aubusl 28,1943, abolish- ed the Danish-German agree- ment. In September 1943 martial law was declared. The represen- tative of the German Reich, the Nazi, Werner Best, advocated using this opportunity to deport the Jews. The attache for ship- ping affairs, F. G. Dukwitz, who maintained good relations with leading Danish Social Democrats, informed them of the impending danger for the Jews. His warning was quickly spread by Danish citizens, organizations and by the Jews themselves, and overnight a rescue organization sprung up that helped 7,200 Jews and about 700 non-Jewish relatives escape to Sweden in less than three weeks. Danish captains and fish- ermen carried out this operation. What began as a spontaneous popular movement was developed into an organized action by the Danish resistance movement. The cost of the transfer amounted to about 12 million Danish crowns, of which tfle Jews themselves paid approximately 6'4 to 7 mil- lion. The rest was provided out of private and public Danish con- tributions. During the night of the per- secution (October 1-2, 1943) and following it, less than 500 Jews were seized by the Germans. They were sent to Theresienstadt and remained there until the spring of 1945. when they too were broucht to Sweden by the action of the Swedish Red Cross headed by Count Bernadotte. Upon their return from Sweden to Denmark at the end of the war, most of the Jews found their property intact, the Encyclopae- dia Judaica says. It may be estimated that ap- proximately 120 people perished because of the persecution: about 50 in There-ienstadt and a few more in other camDs. Close to the same number committed suicide or were drowned on their way to Sweden. Less than 2 per cent of the Jewish population of Den- mark perished. Denmark, during the Holocaust, was a beacon that the rest of Europe should have followed . but did not so that the Holocaust came to represent the European attitude toward Jews and the humane love of the Dane for their fellowmen was simply a benevolent postscript in a brutal and inhuman time. Great Jewish Personalities The Lion Of Safed, Isaac Liiria CANDlELrGHTMG TIME 30 NISAN 7:22 f By DR. MAXWELL BERGER Temple Saimi-El Safed is the northern most city in Israel and the highest. It sits atop the mountain range of upper Galilee, 2,700 feet above sea level. In the century following the Jewish Expulsion from Spain this little town became the seat, and fountain-head of the Kab- balists, a small but potent group of pious scholars who devoted themselves to the regeneration of the Jewish Oral Tradition, and delved into esoteric doc- trines and sought to fathom oc- cult lore and interpret Jewish mysticism. One of the key figures who personified these tendencies was Rabbi Isaac Luria, who was re- garded as the founder of the school of pratical Kabbala. His brief life of only 38 years (1534-1572) is encrusted with layers of legend. He was dedi- cated to the pursuit of the spirit- ual and his students and dis- ciples revered him as the ideal of spirituality. They called him Adonenu, Our Master. The letter 'A," ano the initials of Rabbi Isaac form the word ARI, which is the Hebrew for "Lion." He was thus known as "The Lion" and his students were known as the "Gurei H'ari The Young Lions." The letter "H" was added to his name to stand for "Ha-Ebhi the di- vine," and he has since been known as Ha-Ari. In the heart of Safed stands the Ha-Ari Synagogue as a liv- ing shrine wnere one can visual- ize this saintly scholar surround- ed by his disciples gathering for prayer and engaging in mystical discourses on the secrets of God and His hidden meanings. Isaac Luria was born in Jeru- salem in 1534. His father. Solo- mon Ashkenazi, who had emi- grated from Germany, died at a very early age and Isaac was sent to Cairo to be brought up by an uncle. He was a brilliant student and became a Talmudic authority in his teens. Although he was groomed to engage in his uncle's pepper and grain business, the rising trend of mystic studies intrigued him. When he was about 22, he withdrew to a small island in the Nile near Cairo. There he lived alone for the next 13 years visiting his family only on Sab- baths and holidays. He was en- grossed in the study of all con- temporary Kabbalists, with par- ticular emphasis on the Zohar which had then just recently been published. The Zohar, as a commentary on the inner and hidden mean- ings of the Bible, has been de- scribed as a mixture of theo- sophic theology, mystical psy- chology, myth and poetry. Old gnostic doctrines, mystical tradi- tions, theurgic speculations, pop- ular superstitions and mytho- logical motifs dwell side by side with echoes of Neo-Platonic and Aristotelian philosophic theories about the nature of the Cosmos and about the relationship be- tween a transcendant God and a finite world. Long periods of seclusion ind contemplation nurtured his flex- ible imagination and he began to believe that he had commu- nication with Elijah, who on numerous occasions explained to him the difficult passages in the Zohar. He believed that in his sleep his soul engaged in discourses with the ancient Talmudic Sages in Heaven. His disciples attrib- uted to him supernatural knowl- edge, the power of performing miracles, the ability to exorcise demons, and a knowledge of the languages of the trees, the birds and the angels. In 1569, Luria responding to a "divine call" settled in Safed which had become a center of Kabbalistic mysticism. Instantly he was surrounded by a coterie of disciples and colleagues who eagerly awaited his lectures and interpretations. Among them were Solomon Alkabotz, Joseph Caro, Moses Cordevero, Hayitn Vital, Moses Zacuto and Moses Hayim Luzatto. Although Luria himself wrote virtually notning save for a few poems and Sabbath hymns in Aramaic, most of his theoretical Kabbala was published by his students as notes taken from his lectures and discourses. These ideas spread throughout every country of the Diaspora, their cosmic drama of Exile and Redemption caught the imagina- tion of the masses as well as the scholars. Elements of the Lu- rianic Kabbala lay behind the messianic claims of Shabbetal Zevi in the 17th century, and behind Chassidism, the revival- ist movement stemming from Israel Ben Ellezer, Baal Sheiu Tov, in the 18th century. Rabbi Isaac Luria, Ha-Ari The Lion the legendary giant in Jewish tradition and Jewish literature, died in Safed in 1574. He was burledalong with Rab- bi Joseph Caro, and the other Talmudic luminaries of the 16th century, in the cemetery on the slope below the Ari Synagogue, facing Meron, the shrine of Rab- bi Shimon Bar Yochai, the au- thor of the Zohar. |
