MRS. ROBKRT GKRICLICK, Editor This is Jewish Book Month—Ihe.annual month of recognition of the important place books have always had in the lives of Jews —the people of the book. The th'?»!P "f .Ifwir.li Hnok Month this year is "A Jewish Library in Every Jewish Home1' — a .significant theme, for only through the availability of Jewish books can Jewish literaturo serve as an inspiration and influence for every member of tho Jewish family. The Omaha Jew is fortunate in that his Jewish Library at home is not his only source of Jewish literature. The Omaha Jewish Federation Library at the Jewish Community Center has been acclaimed by many as one of the finest and most complete libraries of its kind in the country. Fiction and reference material on every phase of Jewish life, history, theology and philosophy are available. In addition, the li'uiury includes complete section.'; of films, film.strips, records and works of art. •We urge you to visit the library and discover, the many sources of knowledge and inspiration therein. Let the Federation Library serve as a stepping stone to a Jewish library of your own.

thusiasm n f te i _. el ee ti on, are J^\ m i n dftil of the runny promine.sl and pledges, fru * <|iiently conflict \ 4' in;:, which they ! » ' li.ul made to the c A , t voters in those crucial days before the votes v.'i-re cast. Surely some effort must he made—or at least must feein to have been made — to fulfill those pledges. And members of the loyal but disappointed opposition parlies will lose no opportunity to toss into the legislative hopper bills designed to embarrass the coalition and to compel adoption of a stand on issues which m a n y party members would prefer to sidestep. Troublesome Hills Above all, the Sixth Knesseth lias the heritage of troublesome bills which the preceding Knesseth was unable or unwilling to dispose of with finality. Four such measures are b o u n d to cause difficulties w h i c h will strain to Uie u t m o s t the ties which so recently b o u n d together the members of the new coalition in bonds of fraternity and mutual respect. Sabbath Itest Kill One is the Sabbath Rest Bill. In return for its participation in the 1*161 coalition, the religious bloc had been promised enactment of such a law. Purpose was to give effect on a national basis to local and municipal bylaws which forbid p u b l i c transport nnd certain other activities on (he Sabbath. Whatever may be one's feelings on the subject, pro or con, the fact is that passage ot such n bill had been promised in return for support by the religious parties of other legislation desired by their partners in the coalition. The orthodox kept their word, and contributed to the stability of the government, but the pledge given to them was not kept, hi the dying days of the last Knesseth the Sabbath Rest Law was s c u t t l e d and never even reached.its crucial vote on the floor. Its ghost will return to haunt this session, of the Knesseth if the religious group is in the coalition. Anatomy Law A second matter, the proposed amendment to the Anatomy and Pathology "Law, is better known PK (he Autopsy Bill. Hor<? too tho issues are religious. Orthodox group* have nrntest/'d that mfdleal authorities have been performing autopsies in numerous cases where such action is not required, and in violation of the sensibilities of religious families who oppose same as a matter of deep personal conviction. The proposed bill would make the performance of a u t o pales dependent on the consent of the families of the deceased. Medical leaders had opposed the bill, and all the arguments of medical science had been advanced against it. The bill died, but it will be back again this year. Doctors' Service Bill One of the stickiest issues is that embodied in the so-called Doctors' Service Bill. Does Israel have too many doctors—or not enough? Tho fact is that there are probably too many in the cities—and not enough in the outlying v i l l a g e s and settlements. How do you get doctors to serve away f r o m the big cities? Provide amenities, attractions nnd conditions which will make d o c t o r s want to servo there, say spokesmen for the medical profession. M a k e it compulsory for newly graduated medical students to render such service, soy ethers. The bill before the last Knessetl) w o u l d

KMTOR'S NOTK: This is the first of a sixweek series in which outstanding Jewish college students and young adults wil! describe their views about Jewish life in the United States. They prepared papers for a symposium entitled, "Vouth Looks at the Jewish Community," presented at the recent General Assembly of tho Council ol Jewish Federations and Welfure Funds lit Montreal. The first article is by Nell Kominsky of Oceanslde, N. V., n student at Harvard College. » # • Discussions of the state of Jewish youth have been very much in vogue lately. This reflects, I believe, a growing concern on the part of the older generation with the apparent alienation from Judaism of a sizable portion of today's youth. It should be understood that I write from the point of view of a collrg'* M'l'len! who is committed to Judaism to the extent of preparing for the rabbinate who is, nevertheless, a member of a generation that is far from happy with the Jewish milieu in which it has grown up. Kducation One of the greatest problems we face is the disastrous state of Jewish education. Formal Jewish education usually ends between the ages of 13 and 15. The inevitable result is that tlie intelligent college student, whose intellectually competent mind is .-iccustcir.ed to dealing with philosophy nnd science at a mature level, turns to look at his religious ideas and discovers how helplessly juvenile they are. His education has not fitted his religious concept to grow with the rest of him, no one has ever told him that growth and flexibility are possible in the area of religion. His religious vocabularly does not include contemporary Jewjsh philosophy, it seldom includes any Jewish philosophy. Instead, the collece student who can speak the language of Plato, Dostoevsky and Einstein finds his Jewish vocabulary made up of boiled down Bible stories and half-remembered justifications for ritual practices. There is no depth, no flexibility, no relevance. Is it any wonder that Jewish religious belief is laid aside with the other toys of childhood? Alienation Another major cause of the alienation of Jewish youth is the failure of our homes and institutions to communicate the relevance of Jewish values. In individual religious life, proper observance of ritual too often become the sole measure of piety, excluding concern for one's responsibility to God and man. At a time when Jewish values are too often ignored in practice, there is a certain polarizing effect on Jewish youth. Idealistic individuals often react with revulsion, rejecting all that is Jewish as vulgar and materialistic, and involving themselves in secular causes. We see many of these alienated Jews in the forefront of campus social service activities: the civil rights movement, various peace groups, anti-poverty action groups, etc. '•.''• Another factor, of course, in the alienation of Jewish youth from the religion and the community, is adolescent rebellion. It is normal for the adolescent to reject the values and ideas of his parents at this stage of his development as a means of asserting his own individuality. The picture, however, is not oil black. Judaism is far from destitute of support in the younger generation. 'There-remain factors which draw the young American Jew toward his religion,
encouraging him to confirm his identity and commit his energies within a Jewish framework. There are many who have discovered the depth and richness of Judaism and who have sought higher education in Jewish subjects to match their education in other areas. Communication There is much room, however, for improvement in the community's appro;wh to Jewish youth. The gap between generations causes real problems in meaningful programming. Many people at the planning level of community organizations operate on the information and assumptions that held true 20 to 30 years ago. These people tend to envision the major problem in Jewish identity as that of people who are "ashamed" to he Jewish, who are actively fleeing their Jewish identities, Ttecent studies have shown that this is no longer the case. Few of today's Jews change their names or hide behind a facade of super-Americanization. The problem today is willi people who are not afraid of Judaism, but find it insignificant and irrelevant. People who assume that this action is due to the same old fear of anti-Semitism or a desire to escape, seriously misunderstand today's youth and fail to communicate effectively with them. Youth today is not a part of the American Jewish community. Generally speaking, tho vojrp nf.youth carries no weight there. I suggest that youthful viewpoints may offer a perspective which the community leader would not otherwise gain, particularly in planning programs for youth. Approach to youth A final, very serious problem afflicts tho Jewish community's approach to youth. This is the failure of the community to provide outlets for the energies and ideals of Jewish young people. Values founded deep in the Jewish tradition provide Jewish youth with a highly developed social conscience. The Jewish community has been delinquent in not offering to Jewish ydulh the sort of service programs which enable young people to give of their time and their talents. This means not only in an occasional summer service program or a year in Israel, but in week-to-week and monthto month spare time service right in their own communities. Let us provide our youth with the opportunities to serve under Jewish organizational sponsorship in settlement houses, hospitals, homes for the aged, and children's institutions. Let us use our qualified youth as auxiliaries in our beleaguered educational institutions. We must make clear to our young people that Judaism is not museum piece, that values lead to actions. There is no level of our community organizations and institutions at which we will not find young volunteers ready, willing and able to contribute of themselves for the benefit of tho community. Youth is not afraid to roll up its sleeves and get its hands dirty in a good cause. In the field of education, I believe our Jewish communities can perform a great service by sponsoring programs of mature intellectual content which do not talk down to their audiences, but provide honest statements of intelligent Jewish positions which will be challenging to Jewish youth. By providing a clear-cut, intelligent collection of values and beliefs to our young people and by placing this within the context of a Jewish community which provides outlets for these values in opportunities for direct, meaningful service, we can bring home the relevance of the Jewish religion to today's youth
which he implied meant no moro than a man of western civilization. It disturbs me to think that a s e n i o r at Princeton, who claims Knowledge of religion and philosophy, could dismiss Judaism in so sophonioric a fashion. Unfortunately, too many y o u n g American Jews, eveji those who are not seniors at Princeton, do the same thing. 1 would not feel so distill lied If my contemporaries rejected Judaism, for then at l e a s t ( could assume that they struggle!) with their souls and their convictions in so doing. lint what has happened is not that they have rejected (heir religion, but instead, (hey have reduced *Judu> ism to some easy rationalization and (hen have simply let It melt nway. Without struggle, without. conviction, and o f t e n without sensitivity, they have let the entire subject of religion pass so that their lives may not be disturbed by its unsettling influence. And then when their parents make demands on them, especially when it comes to dating, they dismiss that too, as just some sort of intolerance. Hut, Judaism is much more than some sort nf ritual dogmatism on the one hand, and some sort of ethical culture society on tin.- other. It is a vast, Inimcasureably great body of experience, the experience of man's confrontation with the universe of which he is a part, and the experience of man's confrontation with faith and the Divine. There can be no rationalizations when it comes to this c x p e r l enee, there can only be a struggle, a .wrestle with one's soul. The fault then, lies not within Judaism, but within those Jews, some even students of philosophy and religion, who are unwilling to engage themselves in anything deeper than rationale z a t i 0 n, sophistication, or the search for the "in" or for thd bland. Too many of my eontemporarle-. arc unwilling (0 wrestle with, or even have convictions other Ihan which medical school or law firm they want, and that eivil rights is "a good thing" and that Judaism, at best, is (he Ten Commandments and a .salami sandwich. ' In my opinion, if we young people are to participate in a discussion about Judaism, wo must first become aware that we are dealing with a subject infinitely more profound t h a n keeping kosher, interdatinK and the golden rule. We are talking about a matter of deep concern, and it is time that we became deeply concerned about it. Steven J.

Beth Israel has helped our organization to a great degree in the past and, in so doing, has added to the religious life of Omaha's Jewish teenagers. We hope the community is aware of the efforts of Beth Israel in our behalf. Once again, our sincere thanks to all who helped and attended the JFK service.

DOWNTOWN— ROCKBROOK VILLAGE LOS ANGELES — Shocking revelations of anti-Semitism in the United States public, witii one third definitely anti-fscmiiic and another tliird hokiin;.^ autiSemitic beliefs hut not vocal or active about it were mack' h' re. The shattering (i^urt-s w e r e made public by the University of California study project iinanced by the Anti-Dehmiation League of B'nai B'nth. ''Anti-Semitism remains a simnienrig Gore th::t czr, £hv2y:; break out given the right lor wrong* condition-1;." summarizes Berkeley sociologist Charlie V. Clock, who heads the Univvrsity's Survey Research Center. Dr. Clock coordinated t h e study, launched with an 11 man team following the worldwide outbreak of swastika smearings Some other startlin;; statistics: 27 per cent feel that Jews are "much too powerful" in the business world. 30 per cent feel that Jews' loyalty lies more with I s r a e l than the United States. 42 per cent feel that Jews ar.; more willing to use '"shady practices in business.'' 43 per cent feel that Jews should stop'complaining about 10 per cent a d v o c a t e thtst "something ought to be done'1 t6 take away the pov.'er that they '•believe the Jews have."

cans whose anti-Semitism can be trarpcl specifically tc. religious ideology. DESPITE.THESE significant and dangerous undercurrents, Dr. Clock said, "Anti-Semitism is less a problem th-n it hm been in the past." Then he warned, ''It is still virulent." Dr. Glock added. "There is the potential for the same sort of violence that existed in na::i Germany, but it is not an immediate threat. . I There is reason to be rather cautious." Among other points made by Dr. Clock: RIGHT WINGERS: "It is a mistake to assume that all extremists on the right are antiSemitic . . . " But, he continued, the far right does include them 2nd rHcisni is the k*?y to tb>?ir ideological beliefs." THE EICIIMAN'N TIIIAL: It was marked by "monumental apathy. They 'The American public) couldn't care less . . ," Some 84 per cent of the population was aware that the trial was going on but only 1G. per c n t "were sufficiently infornu.'d to answer even simple questions abcuil the. trinl." . ADOLESCENT PREJUDICE: "Young/people are still being socialized to be anti-Semitic in our society. It appears to be the family and the peer group which play the most important socializing roles in s h a p i n g young people's values in this area. The schools do not appear to be doing an effective job in informing students nbovt pr^jn* dice or in countervailing the propensities of family gjid peer group loiikiuk-atfr prejudiced attitudes." Dr. Glock noted that his results "to date reveal a considerable amount of .anti-Semitism on the part of the young people studied. This appears, in fact, to be aggravated as tho
studi'-nts grow older."' CHKISTIAN I 1 K M K F : "An invidious interpretation (of 'the crucifixion) lead;; to religious hostility towards Jews which, in turn, spills over into secular anti-Semitism. The process is an impressively powerful one." As for the Vatican Statement OP. Jews, it is too early to determine its effect. NKGKO ANTl-S K M IT IS M: Here is one of the few hearten-
ing parts of the .study. Negroes .ire slightly les.s anti -Semetic than whiles of the same social and economic class, Glock concluded alter indeplh interviews with 1.200 Negroes across the country. Active civil rights workers were less anti-Semitic than uninvolved N e g r o e s . One disturbing fact was that young Negroes are more anti Semitic than their ciders, reversing the pattern of the white population.
