Rabbis ftfrsf Offielate ill HII Wedding Rites Chic2"o (JTA) The Chicff!" Hoard of Rabbis revived the controversy over cantors officiating at weddings with a statement that "the proper officiant at all Jewish wedding ceremonies should be only a duly ordained rabbi." The board said it had issued the statement because of "recent discussions in the community concerning the officiants at the wedding ritual." The statement hold that a couple "embarlTing upon the sacred responsibilities of marriage," should have the "spiritual guidance, counsel and inspiration of a rabbi." The cantor could properly participate in the ceremony by chanting appropriate portions of the service only with the rabbi, the statement said.
Enrollment will be limited to the first 14 students to register. Fee for the series is $20. Fees for similar courses in tbo Omaha area are over SIOO. Registration may be made by phoning the Jewish Community Center Activities Office, 3-12-13GG. Early registration is recommended. A course in Effective Writing for high school and college students is being developed and will be announced in the near future.
The two American rocket experts were reported to lu.ve taken up further development of the Egyptian rocket program after the chief West German scientist in charge of the program, Prof. Wolfgang Pilz, had returned to Germany. The West German r o c k e t teams had developed three rockets with, estimated ranges of l!)0 to 370 miles. Each of the rockets could hit Israeli targets from bases in the Sinai. Robert McCloskey, State Department spokesman, said the Department had no information on tho situation nndjroi'W neither confirm nor deny the engagement of Americans in the Egyptian rocket program. Other IT. S. officials said they knew of no legal barrier that would prevent American scientists who so desired from working for Egypt.

Washington (JTA) — Rep. Seymour Halpern, in a speech on the House floor, announced that he has asked the United States Attorney General to investigate possible violations of Federal law by American s c i e n t i s t s employed in Egypt's military rocket in-, dustry. The New York Republican told the House that he has also made a formal rcrmest for a Department of State investigation and public report on the matter. He termed the work by Americans in Egypt on rockets as "deplorable." He said that a full disclosure ol lacts is necessary "so thai we in the Congress may take appropriate legislative action to ensure that these abuses do not recur." Rep. Halpern pointed out that "there is a distinct possibility that the two Amerioans named in reports may be f o r m e r Federal employes who, in the course of their work, may be m a r k e t i n g their nation's secrets for private gain in violation of Fed-^ e r a l law." Accordingly, he* said, the U. S. Department of Justice has been asked "to ascertain if such violations are taking place."

Washington (JTA)—A consentus of views expressed by 85 rabbis at the annual conference of B'nai B'ritii Hillel Foundation directors held here indicated that social protest by college students today is somewhat less than publicized demonstrations suggest, but more volatile than any other student generation since the depression years. The rabbis felt that, basically, it is a healthy rebellion against the failures in modern society. Rabbi Benjamin M. Kahn, Hil-
lel national director, said that student protests express a student conviction that, if religion is to mean anything in their lives, it must relate itself concretely to poverty, war, and other social concerns that surround their generation," Rabbi Jeulidah M.,Cohen, of Los Angeles, West Coast Hillel regional direc tor, said political turbulence will continue to emanate from tho campus because students are dissatisfied with "the glacial pace of social progress."

Te! Aviir:Subway". Tel Aviv (ZrNS)—The budget covering the canstructsoR of a subway in Tel Aviv has been made public for the first time. The construction plan and the budget, which were drafted by French "Metro" experts, provides for the building of two r a i l w a y lines traversing the length'of Tel Aviv at a cost of 300 million Israeli Pounds. These figures <io not include the expenses to be incurred for the purchase of subway cars and repair shops, which will entail a" separate expenditure of 180 million Israeli Pounds. The Tel Aviv municipality however is interested that the subway should be so constructed that it also serve as a huge u n d e r ground shelter in case of warfare. In this case, building costs will be much higher, and will thus reach 61G million Israeli Pounds. Experts estimate that the operation of the two subway lines will involve an annual deficit of 45 million I s r a e l i Founds.

He is also quoted as saying that his group will seek "to mobilize and activate the American Jewish community to eradicate any doubts about the vital necessity for a decisive victory by whatever means required in Viet Nam.

JWV Head Urges Viet Nam Bombing
Miami Beach UTA)—The national commander of the Jewish War Veterans of America praised President Johnson's peace offensive as evidence to the world of I ho American desire for peace but asserted that if it failed to achieve its end:;, the UnilO<1 States .should resume lullscale bombing of North Viet Nam. (In a joint strttc-iiitiil Issued by the presidents of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, the national commander of the Jewish War Veterans was strongly criticized for ''bomb-rattling jingoism.'' A statement on the Viet Nam issue will be issued this week by the Synagogue Council of America, representing the views of all branches of religion in American Judaism.) Bomb-rattling jingoism is no more tolerable from a Jewish source than from a militaristic g e n e r a l demanding that we bomb thf; 'enemy b;><:k to the stone age.' The bellicosity cries of the JWV fall somewhere to the right of the Pentagon and are totally inconsistent with the jjroclajmed policy of President Johnson and the vigorous American efforts to achieve negotiations and a settlement of the conflict. To demand 'a decisive victory by whatever means' is an outrageous statement of callous irresponsibility." ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS ETCHINGS—PRINTS fcXPSKT FRAMING RENTAL PLAN

OUR AIMS AND PHILOSOPHY "You .shall leach them diligently to your children"—Deuteronomy G:-59. To leach—-By example, by exposure, by cvperience, by creative expression. To1 stimulate—Tho worth of serenity, Hie worth of beauty, the worth of nature, the worth of mankind. To inspire— Knhnnccmcnl of self, enhancement of skills-, enhancement of values and To achieve The harmonious unity of a child ami his Judaism. The KSTHKR K. NKVV.MAN CAMP has lx?en created by tbe Jewish Community of Omaha so that boys and girls of camping age can comhine their summers of leisure with significant parljripafjfjn in rroativo activities that emphasize'Jewish concepts and values. .Children, from families reflecting all approaches and viewpoints embodied in Judaism am exposed to both the diversity and homogeneity which comprise the total Jewish spirit, Acceptance and understanding Is encouraged from all points of view in Jewish life to create a sense of Jewish community for the children. Small camping groups allow each camper to retain his individuality as he blends into a' democratic atmosphere that emphasizes responsibility to and for the group. The camp operates co-educationnlly in order not to disturb the natural boy-girl relationships that permeate all of life from Infancy through maturity, yet recognizes the developmental needs for boys and girls to participate in activities with their own sex. The camp Ketting differs from home and school In its focus on the outdoors and its informality reduces pressures. It widens the horizons of each camper, uncovers latent abilities, develops n variety of skills and promotes healthy release for juvenile energy in an atmosphere centering around the child and his world. Children's participation in this, exceptional program "is highly recommended. This Ad Js One In n Series';Sponsored by a ' . Friend of Esther K. Newmnn Camp

New York—Before the Vatienn Council voted it:; historic declaration on antisemitisra and the Jews, a Vatican cardinal and Pope Paul VI met secretly with Jewish leaders to discuss the hotly-debated issue, it has been disclosed. An article appearing in the current issue ol Look Magazine reported that on March :tl, I!)G3, more than two years before the Council voted the declaration, the Vatican's Cardinal Augustin Bea met secretly in New York with Jewish leaders for "unofficial" talks. Cardinal Bea, head of thi; Vat"can's powerful Secretariat for Christian Unity, discussed the controverts 1 *3r>uO 'with Kabbi Abraham Hcschcl of the Jcv/ish Theological Seminary, The meeting was held at the American Jewish Committee offices in Manhattan. Secret The (jatherini! was kept secret from the press, the article said, because 'Bea wanted neither the Holy See nor the Arab League to know lie was there to take questions the Jews wanted to hear answered." The Vatican prelate reportedly told Hcschel and other rabto speak officially," but could, he said, speak only of what in his opinion "could be effected . . . should be effected by Us* Council." Questions Ra'uiji Keschei mid utiici'rj In th.- room are said to have asked Bea if the Council's declaration would specify dcicidc (the killing of Christ), the curse and rejection of the Jewish people by God as errors in Christian teaching. Bca's answer, according to Look, was "oblique." He cautioned Ills listeners that an unwieldiy assemblage of bishops could not possibly get down to
details, could only set "guidelines, and hope to make the complex seem simple. . On June 12. 1961, the New York Times reported that a passage absolving the Jews of dt'icide had been cut from the latest draft of the declaration, a fact which disturbed K a b b i Heschel. Second Meeting Through the offices of Richard Cardinal dishing of Boston, a private audience was subsequently arranged between Pope Paul VI and Rabbi Heschel. Said the magazine of that meeting: "With the AJC's (Zachariah) S h u s t e r beside him, Ileschet t a l k e d hard about deicide and guilt, and asked the Pontiff to press for a declaration
in which Catholics would be forbidden to proselytize Jews, would in no way agree. Shuster, somewhat chagrined, disassociated himself gingerly from Heschel by switching to French, which the Pope speaks but the Rabbi does not. "All agree that the audience did not end as cordially as it began. Only Heschel and a few others think it did good. "The Rabbi's audience with Paul in the Vatican, like Bea's meeting with the AJC in New York, was granted on the condition that it would be kept secret. It was undercover summit conferences of that sort that led (Catholic) conservatives to claim that American Jews were the new p o w e r s behind the Church."

RABBI HKRTZUERG Our society tnHny js prndur.ing what may be termed "the protesting ' individual," a t r e n d which is most appreciated by the news media. The more extreme the opinion is, the more respectable is its space in the papers. WliiJe controversies are being exploded in various fields—politics, science, economies, etc.— some of our Rabbis have decided to liop on the "wagon" loo. We have read tlml there is no God, that we arc vanishing, thai •we arc purely materialistic, and i.ow we read that the Rabbi is "on the way out." This I find very hard to swallow since we are dealing more with'facts than simply with opinions. While we must agree that in the Rabbinate today, some Rabbis are more c a p a b l e than others, for one thing they are all human! What's more, we cannot lose sight of the fact that the "Rabbis" throughout the ages have assumed different roles depending on time and environment. The Rabbi js we see him today is a product of our contemporary society. To take a Talraudic and Halachic s c h o l a r •with the status lie had in the small "shtctl" in Europe where he was the undisputed "Rebbe," and transplant him into the society of today, would not only be a mismatch but also undesirable. • For we have grown out of the ghetto walls, we have broken the fence of "seclusion." We do not live among the pagans any more, and above all the whip of oppression no l o n g e r looms above our heads. It is quite obvious that the Rabbis, as well as the Jewish commiinitips in the free society, are going through a transformation period. It is a period where economic stability in a rapidly growing scientific progress is leaving its mark on the spiritual growth of all groups, and more so on the Jews of today. While the analysis of the contemporary Rnlibi by Rabbi HerzBcrg is most interesting, and it is certainly true that the Rabbi's problems today in seeking pur.pqse and direction are sharper Ulan ever, the fact remains that the spirtual leadership of the American Jew is entrusted solely in. the hands of the Rabbinical body. This group, which has and is being criticized for the things they do or don't do, is in many instances battling t!ii> Inyjnpn who force an undesirable course on their congregations. This is
unparalleled experience in Jewish life under a free society. It is therefore now, when comfort and material pressure have distorted our sense of identity, that we need our spiritual leaders more than ever. In view of the above, the Rabbi, as we know him today, might change in the same way that he has in the past, but he is certainly not on "the way out."

During that time it has provided children with superior education, both in the secular and the Judais areas of learning. The financial burden of the school has been enormous. On December 28, 19G5, a donor who has asked that his name be withheld, established a Scholarship Endowment for the Academy with an i n i t i a l gift of $10,000 to serve as the nucleus of future gifts and endowments. This fund will be used to keep alive the spark of Judaism and the spirit of learning as well as the hope that the Omaha Hebrew Academy may continue to endow children with the heritage, legacy and culture of the, 3,778 year history of this family descended from Abraham. Within our Jewish community there are, perhaps, others who feel as this donor feels, but who have not known how to express it. Now there is a way. Just as a great sea is made up of rivers, streams and drops, so this fund will grow f r o m small and large amounts. Gifts may be s e n t directly to the school at 101 North 20th Street. Endowments or scholarships may be established by calling me. Dr. Irving Shapiro
ISy Carl Alpert What's wrong with Israel's university students? From time to time critical voices are heard, cornnienting on the yppsrent apathy and indifference on the part of the students toward vi tal social, eco nomic and political issues of the d.iy. Irs o t h e r countries univcr-j 1 . / sity students are f rl the source of the j -* £ _ ferment w h i c h f ' * makes for prog-1 T I ress. It is they \ i ! who shake up the C. Alpert smug status of Establishment. In some countries students are the spearhead of national revolutions. In many of the Arab states student demonstrations touch off public riot, assassination and eventual revolution. Are there no injustices to be corrected in Israel, no threats to democracy? And if not at home, arc Israelis indifferent to the challenges facing civilization elsewhere in this s m ;\ 11 world? Demonstration A couple of months ago it remained for a group of African students enrolled at Israel's universities to stage a street demonstration of the popular kind. They were voicing their dissatisfaction with British inactivity in the matter of Rhodesian independence. They exp r e s s e d their views by storming the British Embassy in Tel Aviv and smashing its windows. They grappled and battled with the police, who showed enormous restraint in holding off the agitated students and in preventing far more serious damage. How strange all this seemed in Israel. Golda Meir chided the
Africans. While she could understand their feelings, she said, ;md Israel does agree with their political, views, please remember you are guests in Israel. We do not do things that way here. American Campus Of late the restlessness has. spread to the American campus as well, especially on the West Coast, where students battle the university authorities on issues which are not always related to their studies. Sounding u war cry of revolt, one American student leader recently proclaimed that the Aemrican college student is the most persecuted or most exploited individual in the country. To be sure there was a time when U. • S. c o l l e g e students found more frivolous outlets for their energy. Not long ago the craze was to see how many students could be packed into a telephone booth. In an earlior day the diet ran to swallowing live goldfish. Perhaps our own students arc too busy studying, and preparing themselves adequately for their functions as citizens of society, to engage In the kind of riots which provide emotional outlets precisely for the uneducated. Critics Still there are critics who jeer at the Israeli students. He is interested only in building a career for himself, in getting good
grades, in earning his diploma and degree. In some circles "careerism" has come So be art epithet. Overlooked is the fact ihrtt in their careers, ss tenchITS, engineers, social workers, scientists, etc. They will be in a position to right injustices and improve conditions in tiie country far more than the excited zealots who think that exhibitionism in the streets can snlvr* problems. Causes A professional organizer could certainly find "causes" in Israel in behalf of which he could rally flags and slogans and followers. Politicians and agitators and self-righ'eous custodians of public welfare do from time to time stage street demonstrations, antl often have to bring from iar corners of the country demonstrators already mobilized in tightly-knit political groups. The students, as a body, are conspicuous by their absence. The I s r a e l i university students, In Jerusalem, Haifa, Tel Aviv, have, for the most part, already served more than two years in the army. They arc no longer children looking for excitement. What's wrong with Israel's students? Nothing they arc busy pursuing the serious business at hand of obtaining an education. They could set an example for students in many other lands.

Behind the Scenes of Broadway
"Fiddler on the Hoof" had its origin in the imagination of a little Jewish boy whose father read him the stories of .Sholem Aleichem in Y i d d i s h many years ngo, it was explained by that little boy, Joseph Stein, author of the play. The f i g u r e of Tevye, the dairyman, took up sentimental residence in an inner alcove of J o s e p h Stein's mind, he explained, only to be re-awakened in adulthood when he read the E n g l i s h translations himself. Stein once again, recalled his old friend Tevye, and the seed for "Fiddler on the Roof" took fast hold. Jerry Hock and Sheldon Harnick, who collaborated on the music and lyrics, were equally intrigued, and thus the project wa3 started. 'Crazy' "We knew it sounded crazy, doing-a'musical about a lot of poverty-stricken Russian Jews," Stein confided, "so we didn't discuss the idea with anyone until the first draft of the script and score wa3 completed." Then it was taken to producer Fred Coe, who fell in love with it at first hearing. Jerome Robbins, approached to direct and choreograph the show, was "intrigued" with the whole idea.
Later, Hal Prince entered the picture as producer and the process of production entered high gear. Reactions Needless to say, no one waited with more mixed feelings than Joe Stein as the curtain fell at the last act of that first Detroit tryout. How would the American public (;reet such a topic? And what of the Jewish audience? Would they reject it as too Jewish, or not Jewish enough? Dialogue "I wanted to get the sense of Tevye as Sholem A1 e i c h e m would have it," Stein said, but it became apparent in writing the play that the dialogue in the original stories would not flow readily on an American stage or appeal to the American public. Much of the original material, which itself was written with a specific a u d i e n c e in mind, would strike a contemporary spectator as archaic and bewildering. The problem, then, as Stein saw it, was to capture the essence of Tevye, and his world, yet translate it into understandable and enjoyable material for today's audiences. .Negro Parallel "A contemporary quality was necessary." Stein felt, even as

ho wrote the original script, that the problem of the Russian Jew living in the Czarist regime was not unpandjel to the Negro problem of tuffiiy: the situation created when two peoples—one, a ruling majority, the other a minority —• must live side by .side. But in order to develop the story line with this in mind, material had to be invented as a fulcrum for the otherwise unrelated stories of Sholem Aleichem. Sholem Alcichcm could take his audience for granted; he did not have to spell out the hostility between the Russian and the Jewish communities of which all were too aware. Stein, on the other hand, had to invent a point of view and paint in for us enlightening background material w h e r e b y Sholem Aleiehem's characters could be understood.
