The evening begins with a traditional Sabbath dinner in the "dormitory dining room with "a portion of the usually cold institutional dining hall" transformed by "linen table cloths, candles and long-stemmed flowers=" _ The usual dormitory food "is augmented by haliah, Sabbath wine, gefilte fish and special dessert. A brief ritual service is led by the family guest, who say kiddush, bless the Sabbath candles and lead prayer responses." The report quoted one participating student as saying "It's 60 nice to eat dinner in a relaxed atmosphere for a change and to have a chance to really talk to people. It reminds me of Friday nights at home."

U. S. Surplus Military Equipment Sent to Israel Washington (JTA)—The State Department has disclosed that "Items of surplus military equipment have gone to Israel recently," The disclosure was made by Department spokesman Robert J, McCloskey at a press briefing. . Mr. McCloskey said the shipment wasn't announced at the time It was sent. He could not say what the items consisted of but noted that otiier governments have received military equipment under the Surplus Stocks Program. He defined "surplus" as material not in the current generation of weaponry. With regard to the equipment sent to Israel, Mr.
McCloskey said, "My guess is that it's all purchased."
The matter came up when the State Department spokesman was questioned on the recent unannounced shipment of military equipment to the Chinese Nationalist regime on Taiwan. Earlier in the briefing,' Mr. McCioskey was asked if Israel had requested "Shrike" missiles to offset the Sovietmade SAM-3 anti-aircraft missiles installed in Egypt. He replied that he never heard of a "Shrike" missile. He said the Israeli Government has purchased missiles from the U.S. but indicated that this was not recently.

Objections Voiced to Revised Passion Play New York (JTA) — The American Jewish Committee has compared the script of the 1970 Oberammergau Passion Play with the 1960 script and finds that it is still f u n d a mentally anti-Jewish in. con-' tent although the new version which opens May 18 will contain fewer overtly anti-Semitic references. • While many grossly antiJewish words and passages have been removed in revising the pageant for this year's performances, other equally objectionable material has been left in, the analyses found. Moreover, the study found the entire story line and the underlying conceptions of the play unchanged in the new version: and clearly incompatible with the policy adopted in 4965 by Vatican-Council-Hin its declaration on non-Christian religions.
uty Premier Yigal Allon. Mr. Allon said a master plan for the Hebron suburb was being drawn by a committee of experts and w o u l d be presented for d i s c u s s i o n when completed. But he said that would not be for a year or possibly longer. Meanwhile, Mr. Allon said, interim plans were ' under consideration to provide housing for Jews who settled In Hebron nearly two years ago and are living within the military government compound there. . Hebron, which has had no Jewish population 'since the Arab riots of 1936. is regarded as a holy city by Orthodox Jews because it contains what they presume to be the tombs of the Patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. A group of r e l i g i o u s Jews established themselves in the town shortly before Passover, 1968, .a move which aroused the local Arabs_ and embarrassed the miUTl»ry~ government. They were permitted to stay on howevep-but were confined to the military government-conij)OUiJ d lor, their own protection and to avoid clashes.

The Christian Problem
The adult community has been conditioned to expect the worst from the youth generation. We are plagued with frightening statistics on increased drifg use by teenagers. We hear repeated tales of youth demonstrations and racial movements on campus. We are particularly disturbed by the growing threat of alienated Jewish youth. These problems are real, and there is cause for concern. But there is another side. Our young people seem to be getting a "bad press." Within our own community recently have been some positive.aspects of today's youth that never make the headlines. There is reason to believe that all is not lost. —A letter written by the 1970 Philanthropies chairmen to Omaha college students at their campus addresses has resulted in overwhelming response in pledges for our current campaign. All our college students are not alienated; they do care; they do respond. —Some 180 members of the Western Region of The National Federation of Temple Youth met in Lincoln last weekend for their Spring Conclavette. The subject was Israel. A fund-raising project during the meeting resulted in ?681 contributed by these 180 high school youths earmarked for the Israel Emergency Fund. —For the first time In many years, a city-wide Jewish High School Youth Philanthropies Campaign will be launched at a meeting Sunday, April 5, at 7 p.m. at Temple Israel. More than 60 young people will be serving as leaders in this Youth Division, and all are committed to the needs and goals of the campaign. We need to be concerned about the problems, but we must not get so involved with redeeming the alienated, that we fail to recognize the positive young people in our midst. We must let them know we are proud of what they are doing. They have earned our words of praise; they are worthy of our support.
By Carl Alpert Haifa—It is often called the Middle East problem, but too few observers are aware of the threat to Christianity in the growing nationalist movement of the Moslem masses. In recent months the Pope gave public expression to his fears. Among the 350,000 A r a b s living within the boundaries of pre-1967 Israel are some 72,000 Christians. They belong to a varied assortment of sects and denominations, of which the most numerous are the Greek Catholic, the Greek Orthodox and the Roman Catholic. But there are also fairly substantial numbers of Maronitcs, Syrian OrUiodox, Copts and miscellaneous Protestants. For centuries (he Christian minority, living among an overwhelming Moslem majority in the Middle East, has waged a struggle for existence. .The antiChristian wars have extended into modern times. Forty years ago the Iraquis almost succeeded in a blood bath-aimed at. eliminating the Christians altogether. By JOAN SILBERSTEIN* . In Egypt, some two to three Jewish youth are visible, vocal, and volatile. A great many of them are tumultuous, making waves that rock "The Establish- million Christian Copts are toment."

The situation in Lebanon is belter known, where the uneasy Christian half of the population realizes that an ElFatah takeover in their land would mean a reptilion of massacres which are not unknown in Xebaneseiiislory.' Constantly faced by the Moslem threat, some of the Christians of Palestine have often reacted as do fearful minorities living within a dominant population: they became fervent local nationalists. They sought to demonstrate to their Moslem neighbors that they were 110% Arabs. This super-patriotism lias not hidden the basic fears of the Christian population, however. They see no future for themselves in this area. They feel equally uncertain and insecure in their position s h o u l d the Arabs ever return to power. Their answer is emigration. Pope's Concern In his Christmas message the Pope expressed particular con. cera at the fact that Christians were leaving the Holy Land, If the present trend continues the Christian community here will s h o r t l y disappear.

women spent their phone time explaining the urgent needs of the current campaign. Their efforts resulted in a 131 percent increase in the cards covered! Even Alexander Graham.Bell would be proud. The Young Women's Division reports an 85 percent increase in their division to date, Aside from the extra dollars raised which are so desperately needed by Israel, that 85 percent is a pretty good sign that the future of our community is In good hands. These young women have demonstrated that they recognize their responsibilities and are capable of meeting them. "A gezunt aff der kepalas." Charlotte Zipursky, chairman of the Women's Division, says the success thus far can be attributed to a number of things: dedicated workers in all the various divisions; a person to person campaign that really gets the story told; and most of all "women with hearts" who are responding so generously.

Canada, Australia and other lands. They do not emigrate to Arab lands, it should be noted. Centuries of Moslem repression succeeded in keeping the Christian community in Palestine small and 'powerless. Today, as much of the Christian world seems intent on arming and building up the oil-rich Moslems, the remaining small Christian communities oi tha Middle East seem doomed to extinction. How strange that only a strong Jewish Israel stands as a bulwark against Islam's menace to the JudeoChristian Holy Land.
Where Is The War? By Ellahu Salpcler "The atmosphere in Israel la so reassuring that a visit here by Jewish leaders from the diaspora may even be counterproductive," one of the top leaders of B'nai B'rith remarked Here the other day, I suspect only half-jokingly. He was one of the 260 members of the organization, who held a ten-day conference in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv In late March. • What the B'nai B'rith leaders felt and found in Israel is probably symptomatic of the impressions held by leaders of other Jewish-organizations that hold their conferences in this country. "After you arrive here, you get a great sense of relief:-Israel is not at war," says Rabbi Jay Kaufman, Executive Director of B'nai B'rith In Washington. Indeed, after the impact of the headlines in t h e American press, most leaders apparently expected the tension of a country under siege. You certainly do not feel it in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. But you do not feel it even when driving through Nablus, Hebron or Jericho. —.,. _ , This is true, but for the Israeli the reason is quite simple. It is not that he sees peace any nearer, or that the Arabs have grown less hostile. Indeed, the 1970-71 government budget brought home the tough realities caused by the huge military expenditures, to every Israel wage earner and taxpayer. What brought down the tension was (he dramatic drop in the number of casualties along the armistice lines/primarily the Suez Canal. In July 1969, 31 Israelis were killed along t h e Egyptian front. By November, when the heavy pounding of the Israel Air Force against Egyptian artillery positions began to show its effects, the losses .were down to 19 killed, and by January 1970 the casualty rate was down to six. • Comparing public o p i n i o n poll figures with casualty statistics since the June 1967 war shows a direct correlation between the rise and fall in the number of<victims and the ups and downs of the national mood.

Congressmen Rap Nixon's Decision on Jets for Israel Washington (JTA)—Senators and congressmen from both political parties expressed criticism this week of tlie Nixon administration for withholding the sale of -jets at this time from Israel. Anti-administration feelings were heightened by the fact that tiie 'administration's policy of "abeyance," announced by Secretary of State William P. Rogers, came at a time when the Soviet Union has been caught sending SAM-3's and additional personal to Egypt. Senator S t u a r t Symington, Democrat of Missouri, said the decision "could create more interest on the part of Israel to join the nuclear club."

News Briefs JERUSALEM (JTA) - Miss •Angie Brooks, President of the United Nations General Assembly, replied to Arab protests over her visit to Israel saying she would visit Arab countries too if invited and if it would help bring peace. She spoke on the Israel Armed Forces radio station. Miss Brooks came to Israel last week on an official visit.
Jacob JavHs, Republlqan Senator of New York, said he was "disappointed" about the refusal to sell 25 Phantom jets and 100 Skyhawks to the Israelis." Senator Alan Cranston, Democrat of California, said that the Nixon 'administration- "is playing a very dangerous game in the Middle East. "The Nixon administration continues it's shortsighted policy of seemingly rewarding our enemies and punishing our ..friends.." He warned that the Soviet SAM-3 missiles being Installed in Egypt will shift the balance of military power to the Arabs. . Rep.

Jewish Crisis Not Urban Crisis Seen H?P '«> * & * * !? As First Priority of Jewish Centers Dr. Judah Nadlch, rabbi of Uie Park Avenue Synagogue in New York City ,told delegates to the National Jewish Welfare Board convention in Washington, D.C.; that "today there are few families which do not have at least one mixed-marriage somewhere in the extended., family. Mixed marriages almost always mean not only the loss to the Jewish people of the Jewish person involved but of all the generations which follow from that union," Dr. Nadich said, "Jews are lost through ignorance. The paradox is that the generation of American Jews most educated generally is most ignorant Jewishly. Jewish students, at universities constitute the highest percentage of any ethnic group—bteween 75 per cent aVid 80 per cent. But only about half have received any kind of Jewish education and of that number half have received only a minimal form. A Judaism of form without substance cannot long endure." The s p e a k e r said, "Some Jews who belong to the New Left see Israel as an aggressor against the Arabs. Some have even, Identified themselves with the terrorist AI Fatah. They label all Jews who support Israel as a reactionary Establishment to be overthrown. Their numbers are not to be exaggerated bat that there should be any at all is amazing and disturbing." The situation in very small Jewish communities is "cause for alarm," Dr. Nadich said. "There are makeshift facilities for religious education or none at all.

Jarring Mission Won't Be Resumed United Nations N.Y. (JTA)TBr—Guttnar V r Jarring; the United Nations"" special' envoy for the Middle East* has completed nearly two weeks of consultations here on the possibility of resuming his peace-seeking mission in the Middle East without finding any basis that offered any hopes that a renewed effort at this time, would be productive. Informed sources here said that Dr. Jarring had explored every possible avenue without receiving any encouragement that a renewal of his efforts to bring the Arabs and Israelis together for negotiations would have any chances of success. He was consequently described as ready to return to his am-, bassadorial functions as Swedish envoy to Moscow. . "The Best American Play of the Broadway Season"—N.Y. TIMES

goguesi should be prepared to evaluate their leadership critically," he said. "Is the test for congregational leadership that of knowledge, sincerity and application of Jewish religious teaching to home, business and social life? Is the synagogue exercised about problems of •social concern? Does youth find a place in the synagogue and its leadership?" Dr. Nadich said, "The leadership of Jewish Community Centers may well ask the same questions of themselves. Further, they should ask, 'Should Centers s t r e s s their role in helping to solve the urban crisis or is not their first priority to help solve the Jewish crisis?' "Many opportunities await the Jewish Community Center in its discharging of its responsibility as a Jewish agency whose proper role is that of advancing the cause of Jewish survival with meaning. It can develop its program of adult Jewish education and the Jewish arts. It'can> develop programs for college-age people. It can sponsor vocational guidance courses for young people, making known the opportunities available for those who wish to serve their people as rabbis, t e a c h e r s and social workers.

Rising Use of Drygs by Norfolk Jewish Teens Norfolk Va.—Reporting that drug use was on the rise among Jewish youth in Norfolk, the official publication of the United Jewish Federation said in its current issue that "19 of the many cases handled in 1969 by the Norfolk Narcotics B u r e a u involved drug use by Jewish youth and of these, two were ''pushers.'" __,The publieaUon - also reported -that the Jewish family Sex v i c e . of. Tidewater " h a s noted a marked increase in the last four months of cases involving drug 'experimentation' by Jewish youths, ages 13-20 years." The publication added that the Jewish teenager involved in such experiments "generally come from loving 'nice' homes with no major family problems. He is not neglected, abused or deprived, as Is commonly believed." Valerie Chick, a caseworker for the JFS, urged parents to "speak frankly" to their teenagers and inform them not only of the hazards and pitfalls of drug usage, but the illegality of it. Respect for the law
since 1929, the Jewish population of Staten Island had tripled to its present 21,000 and that, in the past four-years,- mem-~ bership in the center had increased 45 percent. It was estimated that by 1930, the borough's Jewish population will reach around 35,000. The poll mailed to members lists three options^ on which their views are sought. One is to freeze membership rolls. A second is to buy a medical building adjacent to the center which has become available for purchase. A third is for center officials to make comprehensive plans, including a proposed new building.

New York (JTA)-The Staten' Island Jewish Community Center, anticipating a doubling of the Jewish population of the island borough by 1980, is polling its 1,200 member families for their views on expansion of the center's jammed facilities. Center officials said that the ; center building, erected in 1929 and enlarged six years ago by, 20 percent, was "succumbing to the population explosion. The 'building is literally overflowing with people and the facilities are swamped by the needs of the membership." A survey . by Federation of Jewish Philanthropies concluded that the center was "overutilized." A study by a center committee reported that for lack of space, some programs had been cancelled. Waiting periods of up to two years for enrollment in the center nursery school have been reported. The officials reported that
