All Ismel IsResponsible, One for the Other By MICHELE ZISKIND Michaele Jacqueline Ziskin, a 17-year-old Alexandria, Va., student, has been named the winner of the United Jewish Appteal First Teenage Essay Contest. Miss Ziskin, whose essay was selected from over 2,500 entries, will receive an BII expense-paid two-week trip to Israel. Her winning essay follows: * + * A man fasts at the Isaiah Wall of the United Nations so that his family in Russia might bo free— And we arc responsible . . . Three million others living under Soviet oppression wait for a sign of hope— ...... _ And we arc responsible . . . In our own cities, millions are packed into ghettos, deprived of the means to live decently And we are concerned . . . People the world over are hungry, homeless and persecuted— • And we are concerned . . . WHY? What Is it that makes us, as Jews, responsible for every other J e w ? Why is it that wherever injustice and Indignity exist in the world, the Jew is concerned? For Uie answer, .we return to the foot of a wilderness mountain. As the earth shook and'the shofar sounded, wo accepted our responsibility as a people. We.were no longer as a blind man who cannot help it if he walks in a crooked path. We lost our innocence, but in the process wo gained the ability to see. . Because he could now distinguish right from wrong, the Jew could no longer say that he is uncommitted to his fellow man.
Since that moment at Sinai, there is no such thing as a solitary Jew. There exists a kinship" deeper than heredity— a bond of history, spirit and mutual commitment to each other and to God. A Jew is responsible—not only for his own actions but. for those of Ills fellow Jews as we" for we all stand judgment together. Tiie sage Simeon Ben Yohai tells of t h i ^ , . .

Fewer Americans Traveling to Egypt Istanbul (ZINS) —American tourism to Egypt fell by 50% since the Six-Day War of June 1967, according to local press reports.
