"What we do, we do because we have no alternative," said Israel's Minister of Defense, Moshe Dayan. It Is because she has no alternative that Israel must put many of her children to bed at night in underground shelters.' . It is because she has no alternative that Israel begins •training boys of 16 for her Air Force. It is because she has no alternative that Israel must drain her citizens wth taxes to pay the daily $3 million bill for defense. ' -. ; And because they have no alternative,' Israelis have learned to live with war, while they long for peace. They know that for them there is no second chance, no place to hide, no place to flee. They have no future apart from Israel. -They do what they do because they have no alternative. "And because Israel has no alternative, Omaha Jews have no alternative either," said Morley Zipursky, Chairman of the 1970 Omaha Jewish Philanthropies-UJA-Israel Emergency Fund Campaign. "If we could not see and avert the Holocaust that took six million Jewish lives in Europe, we now have no doubt that a second.Holocaust threatens Vh million Israeli Jews. We can't let it happen." Mr. Zipursky noted that financial aid can't assure Israel's survival, but its lack could make Israel's future still more precarious. "While Israelis give their lives, all we are

Israel Threatens 'Emphatic Measures' Against Terrorist Attacks on Airlines Jerusalem (JTA)—The Knesset issued a stiff warning that Israel would take "emphatic measures" against aerial terrorists and Arab countries sheltering them. It demanded that all governments .and international organizations join to put an end to the kind of terrorism that took 47 lives in the crash of a Swissair jet Saturday. Eight Americans and 16 Israelis were among the victims. The Knesset did not specify what measures might bo taken. But Mrs. Meir • could barely contain her emotions when she demanded rigid steps by the world community "to check the outrageous activities of the Arab saboteurs."

Resetf lenient in Los Angeles For Egyptian Jewish Families Los Angeles (JTA) — The United Jewish Welfare Fund and the Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles are busy helping two Egyptian Jewish families brought to the United Stales for settlement. The Marzouk and Isaac families, who have a total of seven children ranging in age from three to 18, arrived in Los Angeles with only what they carried as their total possessions. They were expelled from Egypt last April and were in Europe for eight months before being

brought to the United States by United Hias. They were welcomed at International Airport by Edward Sanders, the 1970 UJWF chairman, and a JF.S representative, who arranged for shelter. Mr. Sanders said that the two families "typify the kind of human r e s c u e work in which the' UJWF is engaged. We are delighted to have them here and to help them build new lives." Heads of the two families were reluctant to talk about their lives in Egypt after, the

I Write as I Phase

Only in Israel... "••=•—--By- Carl Alpert Haifa — Every week, every day, every hour something interesUhg, unusual, exciting or humorous. This is what makes life in Israel so fascinating. For example, from my collection of j 1001 true stories: Where H o p e Aboundi: There are five l o c a l political parties ' in the Arab village of Kalansuwa, near Netanya. They are named, respect i v e l y H o p e , Carl Alpert life, Fairness, J u s t i c e . a n d Equality. Hope, and Life, commanding a majority between them, have formed a coalition , which controls the local Council. F a i r n e s s , Justice and ' Equality are in the Opposition. To Long life: Moshe AshkeBad, 28-year-old soldier from Carmiel, was hailed by the press recently for unusual courage displayed when his squad • encountered a band of Arab terrorists. More practical rec- ognition was provided by the Hassanah Insurance Company which gave the young man a ' paid-up insurance p o l i c y of IL.UMW0. These Smart Israelis: Mothe and Mary EngeTberg, dog , trainers, have taught their dog to answer the telephone. When ' the phone rings, the h o u n d picks up the receiver, barks the canine equivalent of "shalorn" into the mouthpiece, and then replaces the receiver. Not Guilty of Major Offences: Ah Arab; suspected of being a member of a saboteur gang Was brought before Judge Elias - Keteily in Nazareth, His reply ' to the accusations: I deal in . marijuana and o p i u m and - tilings like that, but belong to - a saboteur gang? Why, I don't even belong to ihe Histadruth! Army Fights Food Superstitions: Bamachaneb, the Israel army magazine, gave the soldiers some winter advice with regard to popular fallacies. It is not true that alcohol is good to warm up a person on a cold day. To the contrary, it results in greater loss of body heat It is not true that large portions • of meat are necessary for the - body during the winter. Olives, chocolate and Halvan have more nourishment.' The lowly and much maligned margarine is a rich source of calories, and V i t a m i n A, contributing to healthy skin and better eyesight. A 45-Year-Old P r e c e d e n t : When Pinhas Rutenberg opened his first electrio- power station in Tel Aviv in 0923, his manage ing engineer lived in the plant so as to be available at all times. The frugal Mr. Rutenberg sought to deduct the costof the electric light in the engi• neer's room from his salary. In protest, the man bought an oil Jamp, and left his window blinds up so that the public 'could see how the power plant • was illuminating its own interior. Rutenberg yielded, and ever since then employees of the company, today more than 5,000 in number, enjoy free electric current in their homes. Gay Tog T'Mllim: The comptroller in the Ministry of Finance keeps a copy of the Sook

of Psalms on his desk. Visitors who come to the office seeking an allocation of Government funds are often handed the book instead. The Public's Favorite: A military jeep scraped the side of a fancy car in a Jerusalem street, and the civilian driver angrily asked the soldier for his name, number and other

details so that he could claim damages. A passerby inquired if the driver would accept IL.30 to cover the damages and drop charges. When the civilian agreed, a hat was q u i c k l y passed around among the large crowd which had gathered, the sum was paid, and the relieved soldier drove off—presumably with greater care. ....

Low ond Order Ask the Man-On-The-Street about the most serious problems facing America today, and high on his list of priorities will be the mounting problem of Crime. : Indeed, there is cause forconcern. There are staggering statistics to testify to it. The Man-On-The-Street cries for "something to be done to guarantee the safety of his family." The eager politician picks up the cry, and "Crime on the Streets" becomes a political issue. Appealing to fears and prejudices, promises of "Law and Order" become important vote-getting tools. Federal Anti-Crime Legislation is currently being discussed by a House. Subcommittee on Crime. The proposed legislation is under fire from critics for the overwhelmingly large allocation of funds for police armament, at the expense of programs for crime prevention. And yet proponents argue that a strong police force can bring back "Law and Order." The problem is not new. Neither is the suggested solution. Back in 1932 a leader told his people "The streets of our country are in turmoil. The universities are filled with students rebelling and rioting. Communists are seeking to destroy our country. Our republic Is in danger—danger from within and without. We need law and order. Without law and order our nation cannot survive." The speaker was Adolph Hitler. Crime is a problem, but hysteria can result In a cure more destructive than the sickness. We must have some form of "order to exist, but let's not seek Law ond Order at any price. The price could be too high.

Rabbi Halm Kemelman, Chairman of the American Jewish Response Committee In May, 1967, immediately preceding the Six-Day War, the Jewish community was anguished by a feeling of isolation. Alone.it stood in its concern and anxiety, over Israel's survival and continued safety. The Jewish community was Justly shocked to its foundation in the presence of a conspicuous silence that gripped the world's conscience. They simply didn't care. Today wo can confess our own Al Cheit, when seeing the paralyzing apathy that has deadened the feeling of a good portion of the Jewish body in response to the present dangers lurking on Israel's horizon. Where are those young idealIsts who have marched with placard and disgust against the horrors of war; against social injustices and many other causes? Where were those familiar Jewish conscientious protesters when innocent people were bang in the streets of Iraq, when Arab terrorists detonated bombs in school buses, in market places, in public places of Israeli cities, towns

Mary Richter Returns to Her People By JOSEPH ZURIEL Mary Richter was raised as a Roman Catholic, the only daughter of a Milwaukee clothier and his wife. The family eked out a meager living, but provided their daughter with many comforts; of.life. Mary's education was their chief concern. She was sent to what they considered the best school in the neighborhood, one run by the Roman Catholic Church. When she was six, Mary's parents were killed in a road accident. Attempts made by her relatives to substitute for parents were oi no avail. Whatever warmth and affection she felt was provided by the Catholic Institution she attended. Thus she passed the first eight years of her orphanhood. When she was fourteen, she opened the small safe that had belonged to her father. It was filled with documents and letters, but tucked away in a corner, was a small bag containing a piece of shiny cloth with fringes at each of its four corners.

What was thet worthless rag doing in the safe? Mary asked herself.;The following day she showed it to one of her acquaintances, and learned that it was a prayer shawl which Jews wrap around themselves when at prayer. Prayer shawl—Jews—father —Catholic. The words ran. through her mind. What was the connecting link between them? Had her father been of Jewish descent? She thumbed through papers and documents; questioned members of her family, and came to the conclusion that Judaism had played a part in her father's past. Mary left her Catholic school and entered public school. She applied herself to her studies, but her main interest was Judaism. She could find no logical explanation for her hew interests, but unconsciously, she was drawn to the Old Testament, to Jewish prayerbooks, to Jewish festivals. When she finished h i g h

school, Mary made known her intentions to convert to Judaism. She was disowned by her family and pitied by her 'friends.' She left the town of her birth and set out for Chicago. After several months of study of Jewish laws and practices, she .passed through the examination set by Rabbinical authorities; went through the* conversion rites, and her name in Jewry became Miriam. But that was not to be the end of the journey. She was barely becoming acclimatized to the new world that she had sought to enter when : she struck up an acquaintance with a young Gentile of German descent. They began meeting, and she fell in love. "But I am a Jewess," she told him at one of their meetings. And "he replied, "Well, for your sake I am prepared to becomo a Jew as well." But her husband-to-be proposed that since the process of conversion fpr men was long and tortuous, they should go through civil marriage before he sought conversion. Miriam was talked into agreement and they married. Months passed but her husband did not convert. Miriam became pregnant and her husband expressed doubts as to whether the whole matter was worth considering. She gave birth to a daughter, and her husband decided that It was better to continue living outside the Jewish fold. Miriam's world crumbled. All'her plans, all her beautiful dreams faded a w a y . She reached a decision. She packed a few bags and, taking her baby with her, left for Israel, Eleven months have elapsed since then. Miriam has been adopted by several religious families in Jerusalem who have assisted her in finding accommodation and work. Her case has also been taken over by the Absorption authorities in Israel and she is well on the way to becoming integrated in her new country.

and roads? Where is the public outcry of our Jewish young who have joined the cause of many activist groups but have failed to engage in an activism of response in behalf of their own brethren? We are prone to accuse the .outside .world, of the sin of silence, but too often wo forget that we and our own children are guilty of the same sin. Whero was the mass-meeting of a Madison Square Garden Jewish assembly to express the , pain, the shame, the insult, when Secretary of State William P. Rogers came qut with his "trojan horse" plan for a Mideast settlement? And where is our massive response in the face of France's Pompidou treachery when he commits the perfidy of selling Israel's life-secrets to its foes, while embargoing the precious cargo of the Mirages that Israel has paid for? Let's be honest about it and confess our own sins. And most of our sins are transgressions of neglect, of omission rather than cpmmission. It Is not In what we have done that we have to confess Al Chelt, but In what we have failed to do, or say, or act. God k n o w s that Israel's first aid and succor of viability and vitality comes through the U.J.A. In terms of funds, the American Jewish commu-

nity is the major partner in the works of redemption. But damdn (funds in Hebrew) means also blood. In terms of the gut issues, the bloodlife of Israel's posture and image, there is much more we could do. There is too much of a personal disengagement on behalf . of many whj have joined theparades of many good causes but have failed to respond to their brothers' needs in terms of involvement. Some small fringe Jewish followers of the New Left have even joined the ranks of our toes. What is necessary now, therefore, are the policies and politics of engagement: of a public outcry in acting and reacting to all evil and injustice that bntises our conscience. For silence too Is evil. When an El Al plane Is terrorized—let's raise our voice; when school c Ii 11 d r e n are shelled In a Kibbutz and are compelled to spend their young lives in b u n k e'r s—let us not keep silent; when Jews are Imprisoned In what amounts to Arab concentration c a m p s let's speak up; when Russia's 3 million Jews are dying a d, lent death of soul because they must keep silent-let's be their voice. This must be our response to the voice of conscience calling upon us: "Ayecha—Where art thou man!"

I was not prepared for the impact of my trip to Israel. I knew I would find people there with problems and frustrations, because this seems to be universal. But I did not expect to find a people with such a strong commitment to building a democracy. .. . *• They cannot really be sure that they will survive the next ten years, and the burden of defense is heavy. But they are proceeding with a kind of pragmatic confidence to build a nation where security and freedom will prevail. The approach they are taking^ to agricultural development and home construction, to education and medicine, to terrorist raids and conscription of boys and girls,, to high taxes and the absorption of immigrants, to religion and highway construction, when all mixed together, is a kind of "mystique." I suspect that underlying this mystique is a memory of long centuries of persecution, suffering and rejection from which comes the imperative: This is to be a place where Jews can be safe and free and live in peace with their neighbors I I knew that there were Arabs living in Israel. But I did not ( realize (until my visit) the extent to which Jews and Arabs are now living together in peace within Israel, in the same cities, working in the same factories. ' I have spent years studying the geography of the Bible but I was jolted when I saw the rugged terrain. When the Bible says UP to Jerusalem and DOWN to Jericho, you had better believe it! Little Israel has its high mountains and its arid desert. There are stony hills everywhere, but fertile fields havo declared war on the desert. To,a greater extent than I realized, the history of Israel has been the history of the world. To dig through layers of dirt and rock is to come upon the tracks of people which can be followed to Europe, Asia, Africa and into the East. On the right are the remains of a Crusader's castle; on the left is a recently-ecavated altar of Baal; over there is where Jesus preached to the multitudes; just ahead is a "tell" yet to be excavated. "Jerusalem shall be free forever!" This song, to the tune of "We Shall Overcome," from the heart of the Jews reflects a determination that Jerusalem shall be a part of Israel so long as there is an Israel. They are not sure how long that will be; but Jerusalem is a non-negotiable piece of Israeli real estate. They remind us that for 20 years Jews were denied access to their holy places in the Old City and that no one seemed to care. They are commited to trying to protect the rights of all who have an interest in the holy places—and they know what it means^to be ex- . eluded. I suspect that the situation in Israel today in many ways parallels tho situation as it was during"tho formative years of our (USA) democracy. Not just a few of the colonists were fleeing persecution. Many of them were willing to surrender their relative security and cross an ocean for this thing we call opportunity. When the guns of the American Revolution were at last silent, they had the staggering,job of building a "nation" out of more diversity than tho world had ever known. So it is today in Israel. When the guns are silenced, there will be continuing threats to th« survival of a democratic Israel. •

55 Church-State Cases Await Court Decisions New York—Fifty-five cases affecting religious freedom or separation of church and state •-hall of them involving the nation's schools—await decision in federal and state courts, according to a national survey by the American Jewish Congress. The U.S. Supreme Court, according to the survey, is expected to rule in Its current term on one of the cases, which challenges the constitutionality of exempting church properties from real estate taxes. But "the p r i m a r y battleground for the maintenance of church-state separation is in . the school," Joseph B. Roblson, general counsel of the American Jewish Congress said in the report. He added: "This can be readily seen

by the clamor for various forms of aid to religious schools in the state legislatures during the past year and the Initiation of litigation challenging those measures that Obtained approval. In the fusion of two very emotional issues — education and religion—the fallout of litigation is heavy." Of the 27 cases involving schools, 21 concern the permissible extent of governmental aid to religiously a f f i l i a t e d schools; five cases involve re-' liglous (or anti-religious) practices in public schools and colleges; and one case involves the violation of compulsory attendance laws for religious reasons. Of the 16 cases appearing in the "Docket" for the first time,

Soviet Jewish Women Issue Appeal for Help New York (JTA) - Eleven Soviet Jewish women have issued an appeal to "the women of the world" to intercede with the Soviet government for permission to emigrate to Israel. The unusual document, in Russian, addressed "To You, Woman" was received by Hadassah. It was read in English to the 200 Jewish leaders, at the group's Mid-Winter Conference. The Soviet women stated that their petitions to go to Israel to join "our husbands and brothers, our parents and children from whom we have been torn asunder" have been repeatedly refused by Soviet authorities. ' "And nothing helps us in our degrating appeals to indifferent officials of the Ministry of Interior Affairs" they continued. "As there is no formal ban on leaving the U.S.S.R. we get our refusals always orally and in a'manner of irritation. They refuse us behind closed doors, being afraid of publicity. At the same time, they proclaim loudly that in the U.S.S.R.

there allegedly are no persons desirous of going to Israel And what about us? And what about thousands, like us? We who only live with the hope of going to Israel!" Their appeal e x p r e s s e s thanks "to the peoples of the Soviet Union who had for centuries given shelter to ' our much-suffering p e o p l e " and then adds. "But today in the second half of the twentieth century, we have our Jewish State. Whether it is good or bad, it Is our country. This desire towards national reunification on the land of Israel is the inevitable end to the many centuries of the wanderings of the Jews. This is our right, just like it is the right of the Armenians to live in Armenia, of the Poles In Poland. And it must be understood rightly." ' The closing paragraph pleads for intercession with the Soviet Government. It reads: "And we appeal to you, Wom:' an, no matter who you are—a student in a ministry, a sales-' girl or a cinema star, a.housewife or a queen, we ask you, Woman, help us."

Public Issue Stands Taken By Long Beach J C C Board Long Beach, Calif. (JTA)-r Two officials of the Jewish Community Center have defended a practice of the center board in taking stands on public issues—such as a board resolution supporting last November's Vietnam Moratorium— "as-a responsible part" of the role of, board members "as leaders in the Long Beach Jewish community." Publication in the Jewish/ Community Federation" News of the resolution touched off con-. siderable debate, with some critics-asserting that.the board

could not speak for the Jewish community on such controversial issues. The response of the board was contained in a statement signed by President Stanley V. Goldin and executive director Mervin Lemmerman, w h i c h was published in the current issue of the Federation News. The new statement stressed that it was the board-which had gone on record "as supporting the spirit of the Vietnam Moratorium and voicing a deep desire for an immediate end of the Vietnam war."

seven concern state aid to pa-' roehial schools: . —Two cases challenge' the busing of students to parochial s c h o o l s under'a Minnesota .statute; —Two challenge the operation of classes in religiously-affiliated schools by v a r i o u s Michigan p u b l i c school districts; —Two question direct aid in Connecticut and Rhode Island under a "purchase of services" ' formula. Four of the new cases also contest religious practices in public facilities: in Washington, D.C., the maintenance of a Creche on federal property; in New Jersey, the authorization of daily prayers by the Netcong School Board; in Virginia, religious education on p u b l i c school premises, and a Texas case protesting Bible reading from a space capsule, Three new cases concern issues of religious freedom. They include the Sisson case involving non-religious conscientious objection which is now before ' the U.S. Supreme Court; an Arizona case involving the religious use of drugs, and an Oklahoma case involving the use of church property for an anti-poverty project. According to the docket, it is possible the Supreme Court will have before it this term a topic not yet considered by .it—the constitutionality of displays of religious symbols on public property.

The role of religious leadership In the new technology was (ha subject of a unique liirec-day conference of Jewish and Presby. (crian scboiars and theologians in Princeton, New Jersey. Mora than 30 rabbis, ministers and college professors discussed the religions implications of such developments as breaking the genetic code, creating life (n test tubes, and manipulating human behavior through drugs and subliminal suggestion. Conferring just before the opening session are the three co-chairmen of the conference)' (I to r) Dr. John W. Meistcr, Executive Secretary of the Council on Theological Education, United Presbyterian Church, U.S.A.; • Rabbi Marc H.

Presbyterians, Jews Find No Easy Answers Princeton, N.J. —Thirty-five Presbyterian and Jewish theologians and academicians, at the end of a three-day conference on theology and technology agreed that man's future was at stake in the technological revolution and that efforts must be made to inject the moral values of. religion into the development of science. The meeting, sponsored by the United Presbyterian Church in.the U.S.A. find the'American""

AJCemtnitf ee Sfydy Reveals Black Panther Anti-Semitism New York . . . The American Jewish Committee charges that the activities and statements of the Black Panthers have been so consistently anti-Zionist and anti-Israel that it is almost impossible to make the distinction between that attitude and antiSemitism. In a report issued by Seymour Samet the Committee quotes Stokely Carmichael, at that time a high functionary of the Black Panther Party, as telling the annual convention of Arab Students at the University of Michigan on August 31, 1968 that "we will fight to wipe it (Zionism) out wherever it exists, be it in the ghetto of the United States or in the Middle East." As far back as June 1967, the report shows, Black Power printed "an obscene -anti-Semitic song entitled 'Jew Land'." Since that time, Panther publications and leaders have "consistently and vigorously supported Al Fatah and other guerilla movements." The study quotes Panther

Minister of Information Eldridge Cleaver, in a December 1969 interview in Algiers, as stating that "Zionists, whereever they may be, are our enemies. We totally support the armed struggle of the Palestinian people against the watchdogs'of imperialism." The study quotes the Jan. 30, 1970 report on CBS correspondent Richard C. Hottelet from Algiers on an Al Fatah-Black Panther alliance. The Al Fatah guerilla organization, Mr. Hottelet declared, "is discussing training Black Panthers in actual combat against Israel to prepare them for a sabotage and assassination campaign in the United States:" The AJC report notes that (he August 30, 1969 issue of The Black Panther charged in a full page article headed "Zionism (Kosher Nationalism) plus Imperialism equals Fascism" that "the.Zionist fascist State of Israel is a puppet and lackey of the imperialists and must be smashed."

BETH ISRAEL SISTERHOOD EXCLUSIVE

Jewish Committee, brought together ministers, rabbis, sem» inarians and college professors. Their primary concern was the need to study the. thrust of scientific research, and to perr suade those engaged in that research to stay within the limits of Western value systems. They were worried about a world and a technology in, which decisions will be made as_to. who.may be born,' who_ may live and who shall die. They foresaw a total invasion of privacy through the use of such m e c h a n i s m s ' a s data banks and technological.spying devices. They expressed fear that modern science could destroy the dignity and individuality 'of man. Although the Presbyterians and Jews reached a general consensus that religious value systems were threatened in today's world, there was evident bewilderment as to how to reverse the trend, or how to'influence it, or how to accommodate to it.. FRANK SEKAR wishes to tHank his friends and relatives for the cards, gifts, donations to charity, and other expressions of good wishes offered at the time of his recent hospitalization.

YOUTH COUNCIL CHAMPIONSHIP The Youth Council has a new - champion in Chaim Weizmann. The Big Red came out to win as they opened up the first half to take a Commanding 39-23 half time-lead. Fouls played a big part in the game as a record fifty personal fouls were called. Rayim got into foul trouble early with Steve Epstein and Buzz Malashock each having four fouls in the first half. Rayim's defense collapsed during the first half giving Chaim Weizmann's board men Ron Weiss and Jay Shukert easy baskets during first half competition. Bob Cipinko led all scorers with 33 of Rayims' team total. Cipinko could not find the range during the first half scoring only seven. Shot after shot by Cipinko was missing its mark during the first two periods. Rayim made a gallant comeback and with six seconds retnaining, down by one point, they stole the ball only to see a Jerry Waldbaum shot go off to the side and'the championship down the drain. On the final play of the game Larry Josephson was fouled, he sank both free throws to make the final score 70-67. Big Ron Weiss was the difference throughout the game. - Weiss led all C.E. scorers with, 19 points, but it was his rebounding and fantastic defense, that constantly thwarted the fiayimoffensive attack.
