Bruce Goldman, rabbinical advisor to the Radical Jewish Union at Columbia University, and two RJU members will g<y on trial in criminal court here on Jan. 12 on charges of disrupting a religious service. The, charges grew out of a number of attempts by the RJU to present a- series of demands to the congregation of Temple Emanu-EI, the. world's largest Refrom congregation, last May. The demands involved support for the RJU opposition to the Viet Nam war. and related causes.

Copies of the wire were also-sent to President Nixon, Secretary of State Rogers and Iowa representatives in Congress. The telegram e x p r e s s e d alarm*with "the trends and developments within Russia which portend the cultural death of Soviet Jewry." It urged "responsible Russian leadership" to release the 31 Jews, to honor Premier Alexsei Kosygin's 1966 commitment that Soviet Jews who wish to leave to be reunited with their families abroad be permitted to do so, to permit Soviet Jews to maintain formal bonds with world Jewry, and to allow them to maintain Jewish education and their cultural and communal institutions.

-ooviet authorities have postponed until Dec. -i ot 12 persons, most of them Jews, charged with the attempted hijacking of a Soviet airliner at Leningrad airport last June. The trial was supposed to have begun last Friday. The postponement was not officially announced but was reported from Jewish sources. The sources said it would be one of four trials involving 31 people, all but two of them Jews. The 19 others were arrested in secret police crackdowns in four Russian Cities after the alleged hijacking attempt. They are reportedly charged with anti-Soviet activities. Jewish sources said all 31 were being prosecuted for their desire to emigrate to Israel and to strengthen Jewish culture in the USSR. A Russian Jew arrested on the U.S. Embassy steps in Moscow two weeks ago was freed last Wednesday after'spending seven days in jail. Leonid G. Rigelman, 30, was prevented by police from entering the Embassy where he had filed a claim for American citizenship. He was charged .with resisting an officer. Rigelman, who is Russian borif, claims U.S. citizenship on grounds that his mother was born in the U.S. and his father is a naturalized U.S. citizen.

Torah Gift Given to Black Congregation Philadelphia (JTA)-The gift of a Toran scroll by this city's largest C o n s e r v a t i v e synagogue, Har Zion Temple, to the city's only black Jewish congregation, Adath Emeth Israel, was hailed this week as an "act of brotherhood" by Clarence Farmer, chairman of the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations. Mr. Farmer saidr"When two groups with so many differences choose to recognize their common bonds, they remind all of us that it is better to live together In peace, sharing a world of harmony and mutual respect.'1 The presentation of the Tor• ah scroll culminated friendly overtures between the two congregations over a period of several months. The Torah was placed in the Ark on Adath Emeth .Israel's... pulpit while members of both congregations joined in' prayer. The ceremony celebrated the recent acquisition of a' synagogue building for the black. congregation which previously had been housed in rented temporary quarters. : The new building, which will be the home for a sizeable number of black people residing in the city who consider themselves to be Jews, also Serves as headquarters for the Afro-Asian Israelite Cultural Center, which seeks to acquaint the public with the role of black Jews in African civilization. Adath Emeth Israel, which has approximately 100 congregants, has in the past also received prayerbobks from the 1,700 member Har Zion Temple.

yyear-old rabbinical student. He was accused of falsely identifying Mrs. Hershkovitz as Nancy Joan McGovern. Mrs. Hershkovitz, 19, and her 26-year-old husband, Avraham, were arrested Sept. 27 as they attempted to board a plane at Kennedy Airport allegedly armed with hand grenades and guns, reportedly on their way to London to hijack an Arab airplane to Israel. Mrs. Hershkovitz was released on $25,000 bail Oct. 14. Her husband is still imprisoned in the Federal House of Detention for Men. The couple were Indicted on Nov. 2 on charges of planning to wreck an airplane and possession of dangerous weapons. A spokesman - for the Jewish Defense League said that both husband and wife were in good spirits. It was reported, however, that Mr. Hershkovitz had suffered a large weight loss due to the refusal of prison authorities to provide him with kosher food. In order not to.violate the principles' of kashruth, he is subsisting mainly on yogart and fruit. .•••.'

Kibbutz in Israel For U.S. Hippies New York (ZINS)—A group of. young American hippies, members of a Boston commune,'are to arrive in Israel to take over an abandoned kibbutz. The group, which has the backing of the Conservative .'Synagogue Movement in the U.S., will be given an opportunity to farm-its own land by the Jewish Agency Settlement Department. The Jewish Agency saw it as a chance, remote as it may be, to reach the large numbers of disaffected, anti-establishment Jewish youngsters in the U.S., and to put their convictions to some useful purpose in Israel. If the group proves itself within a year, the spokesman said, it will be permitted to stay on. ; APARTMENT BIOG.

This Week in History i

' •' i 40 YEARS AGO The secretary of the New York State Board of Medical Examiners said "anti-Jewish" policies at medical schools were based primarily on geography and not on conscious discrimination. Three Catholic monks startled a Viennese Jewish congregation by entering and saying kaddish for Baron Otto von Taussig, a Jewish convert to Christianity. 10 YEARS AGO B'nai B'rith Hillel chairman Dr: William Haber said Jewish collegiate enrollment was up 8:5 per cent and the religious quota system "is today virtually dead." Joseph Ariel, former Israeli ambassador to Belgium and researcher at the Yad Vashem Memorial Authority, charged that 16 key Nazis were advisers to Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser. . . The American Nazi Party, claiming it was illegally deprived of the right of public assembly, sued the Anti-Defamation'League, the U.S. Interior Department, and the Washington Corporation Counsel, General Hospital and.district commissioners.

277-4118 - 861 42nd St. Des Moines "For a Lovelier You"

Des Moines—Gary Rubin, a member of the Young Leadership Cabinet of the United Jewish Appeal, has returned from a six-day trip to Israel. The trip was sponsored by the executive committee of the Cabinet for 40 community leaders throughout the U.S. It launched a series of 16 Mini-Missions to Israel planned for 1970-71. Its purpose, according to Mr. Rubin, was to increase the background knowledge of cabinet members regarding Israel's needs for the coming year. These persons assist lo- • cal communities throughout the nation in their fund-raising drives. While in Israel the group visited with many top leaders, toured several occupied areas and discussed the social needs of Israel for 1971 and the decade of the '70s. These needs are especially acute, Mr. Rubin said, in immigration, health, education, and welfare.

TIFERETH ISRAEL FORUM SERIES The'first in a. series of Tifereth Israel Forums will be presented at 0 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4, in the Synagogue sanctuary. The Rev. Gilbert V.

DECEMBER

the Russian presence in the Middle East is forcing Israel to spend an estimated 90 per cent of its income from taxes for defense during fiscal 1971." Mr. Rubin explained that 30 per cent of Israel's Gross National Product goes for defense, compared with 8 per cent of the U.S. GNP for the same purpose. "If we who helped create Israel in the late 40's wish to see our dream of a viable Jewish state realized in the '70s, we must be prepared to become full partners with Israel in building 'the state," he continued. "We also must be prepared to sacrifice, at least in terms of dollars, commensurate to the sacrifice they give not only in dollars but in mode of living." Des Moines Mission ' Mr. Rubin will be in charge of the Des Moines mission to Israel planned for Feb. 27 through Mar. 9, 1971. "I. plan to return lo Israel then with my wife," he explained. "I think it is the obll' gation of those in our community, whether or not they have been to Israel before, to go on this trip and survey the needs, so that they may draw their own conclusions regarding Israel and the current Mid-East 1 situation.". He noted that the presence of Americans in Israel has a two-fold effect: "First, it equips us with n e c e s s a r y k n o w l e d g e and background, and second, it has a profoundly encouraging effect upon Israelis who can see by our presence that we support them." Mr. Rubin urged persons who . are interested in the trip to contact him or the office of the Jewish Welfare Federation. The itinerary of the mission has been especially designed to point out the human needs in Israel, he said. A man writes to ask who runs the average American, home. Evidently, the gentleman has no teen-agers.,

Rayim "A" having already clinched a berth in the finals, is to be challenged by a strong, fast, and talented Chaim Weizmann. Weizmann showed that they were ready by tuning up with a 91-30 trouncing of S.Y.O. The game was well in hand for Weizmann as they were never behind. Alan Greenberg led the balanced scoring attack with 22 points, followed by Mark Belmont with 21 and Brad Greenstone with 20. S.Y.O., making their debut, showed hustle in Uieir loss with Steve Feldman leading the pack with 8 points. The " B " League Championship .game will pit Dave Parsow, leading Rayim, against a sharp-shooting Chaim Weizmann team 'led by Steve Rosen. Weizmann gained the finals by hustling past AZA 100 59-47.

AZA 100, playing with only 4 men, were led by Marty Barron with 25 and Jay Jacoby with 22.
