Rabbi Reverses Position on State Aid for Hebrew Schools New York (JTA)—A leading Conservative r a b b i declared t h a t "with pain in my heart and a total reversal of a stand I have taken for the greater part of my career, I urge that we accept stale aid for our (Hebrew) day schools." The remark, by Rabbi Edward T. Sandrow, past president of the New York Board of Rabbis and spiritual leader of Temple Beth El Cedarhurst, N.Y., was made in the course of an address at a midwinter .conference of Jewish educators here. Rabbi Sandrow said he was forced to reverse his position on state aid to private schools because the J e w i s h community has not given sufficient support to Jewish education. . He told his audience that the present system of congregational afternoon schools in which students get no more than six hours a week of instruction is not adequate. "If we imagine we can teach a youngster Hebrew conversation in an environment where1 Hebrew is foreign, we tilt against windmills," he said. He called on the educators "to push for the establishment of more day schools and to urge more of our chil-

Drug Abyse Program Jewish ParentsB Teens Cincinnati (JTA)—Two symposia on drugs sponsored by the Jewish Family Service here attracted 800 teenagers and pre-teenagers and 500 parents, a response which JFS officials said was both a surprise to them and "evidence of the urgent need for help on the part of both generations." The meet-
ings, held at the Jewish Community Center, were sponsored by the JFS in cooperation with many of the Jewish religious schools in Cincinnati and'the Jewish Center. In separate sessions, the teenagers and the parents were addressed by Dr. Emil Trellis, director of the Shadyside Squir-

rel Hill Community H e a l t h Team of the Western Psychit atric Institute and Clinic in Pittsburgh. A film followed by a question-and-answer period, was shown to 450 pre-teenagers by Dr. Michael Palmer, a founder of the Free Clinic. SmalL group discussions were held with the young participants after the film showing.
In his address to the parents, Dr. Trellis emphasized the need to place the drug problem in the overall perspective of an understanding between parents and children. He said he believed that the "drug scene" had b e e n "over-sensationalized" and that fearful parents were seeking "easy quick solutions." He urged that "we look at people and their, pressures rather than only at' the problems and symptoms of drug use." Most young people, he asserted, meet demands on them with "a fair degree of success" but some, disturbed by fears, of failure, "may attempt to evade them through dropping out or through drugs." He said he was concerned over drug use because it "depletes the energy which is greatly needed by youth in facing and working out their problems." He urged parents to keep communication with their children open "and - to set a tone which is supportive and e n c o u r a g i n g , but stresses the facing of responsibilities."

Rabbi Urges Support of £ ? J ! » £ Japanese General New Jewish Life Style Saved 20,000 Jews
Seattle, Wash. (JTA)~Amer-lean Reform Judaism was called upon to sponsor and develop small, unconventional, experimental religious circles, to be called chugim or chavurot, (circle of fellowship) to attract young and adult Jews, especially those currently- rejecting formal, religious lives. Babbl David Polish, vice president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, said a number of such groups have already been started on their own in various parts of the country, mostly independently, by Jewish college youths dissatisfied with existing Jewish life. "Instead of regarding them as interlopers and outside our concern, we should encourage them," Rabbi Polish declared. He^also suggested that the Reform movement createtaaad develop an American version of the Shtetl, and added: ''We should find.a number of Jewish families willing to establish themselves as a self-contained community, living in their own area, who will create their own educational and religious programs and live a full Jewish life." . Rabbi Polish expressed Uie belief that both the chugim and shtetl communities would include Jews of common intere s t s and ideologies who would cope with the concerns confronting Jewish life. These experimental groups would revive the Interest of Jewish youth in Judaism, confront social concerns, develop worship patterns to suit their needs, study Torah. Bible and other related Jewish subjects. The Reform rabbi said that he considered such'experimention "essential for the future

of Jewish life in America." He added that if Reform Judaism is to continue to merit the label "progressive," then "we should eagerly seek such opportunities for demonstrating the establishment's openness to new structures in Jewish life."
Israel Honors Soviet Emigree
New York (JTA)—The recent death of 82-year-old former Japanese Imperial Army Lieutenant General Kichiro Higuchi in Tokyo was an event of little world attention, except in the Jewish press, Parade Magazine reported in its copyrighted Intelligence Report. In one of Uie strangest quirks in modern history and a military secret for decades, it was revealed that the Japanese general personally saved Uie lives of 30,000 Jews fleeing Uie Nazi persecutions of Hitler Germany. The event took place in February, 1938 when 20,000 Jewish refugees gathered in Otpor on the Siberian-Manchurian border seeking entry into Siberia, or Manchuria, then under Japanese control. Refused by Stalin, the refugees were turned down by Japan who did not rwant to offend Nazi Germany. The. Jewish Club of Harbin, Manchuria, then appealed to Lieut. Gen. Higuchi of the Kwantung army. The General, who had served as a military attache in Poland, was fully . aware, of what would happen to the 20,000 refugees if they were returned to Germany. He dispatched a fleet of 12 trains to Otpor, had the refugees transported to Harbin where he provided, them with food and temporary housing in the Harbin military barracks. About 5,000 of the Jews remained in Harbin, the others going on to Shanghai and elsewhere.
Jerusalem (JTA)—Israeli dignitaries were at Lydda Airport to greet the nation's three-millionth citizen—Nathan Therolinkov, an immigrant from the Soviet Union who arrived here on a flight from Vienna. Therolinkov, an engineer, came with his wife and.daughter. Absorption Minister Nathan Pcled presented the newcomers with their official identity cards. La-" ter they were received by Premier Golda Meir. The advance announcement of the ceremonial w e l c o m e was a d e p a r t u r e from past practice when the arrival of Jews from the Soviet Union was treated with restraint. The welcome for the Therolinkov family is regarded as a demonstrative . gesture on behalf of Russian Jews who want to go to Israel but cannot obtain exit visas. There was no indication from any sources why Therolinkov, a professional and apparently a young tnan.'was permitted to leave while other Russian Jews are denied emigraGeneral Higuchi, before his tion rights. death, was appointed a trustee of Japan's Israel Association, New immigrants are auto- a fitting honor for this unhermatically granted Israeli citi- alded hero in the Jewish peozenship on arrival.

Israel General Predicts U.S. Victory in Vietnam New York (ZINS)-The feeling that America has reached an insoluble impasse in Vietnam, and that this struggle could well be the first in Amer-' ican history ending in a defeat, is not shared by the well-known Israel General (Ret.) Chaim Herzog, onetime Chief of Israel's Army Intelligence. While on a visit to Southeast Asia, General Herzog declared in a radio interview that the Americans have the upper hand in Vietnam and that the fortunes of the North Vietnamese are rapidly declining. In support of his view General Herzog pointed to the vast improvement in communications which prevails, as compared with the situation .only a few years ago. At .that time, said General Herzog, traveling from city to city was a hazardous feat because the Vietcong controlled the roads. Nowadays traffic moves' freely between cities and villages with little or no fear of ambush.
- General Herzog recited a number of facts which, in his view, underscore the failure of the Vietcong to .take control. On the domestic scene, Herzog points t,o the .contrast between the totalitarian'Cbmmu'riist* regime of. the North .and..the "open sdciety*-' of South''VieU-. nam where. If different'political parties are operative. General Herzog said that many American press reports give a distorted picture of what is happening in the area.

Studying Hebrew becomes a family project for M.I. and his family. The parents attend daily Ulpan classes with Immigrants from 15 lands talking eight different languages. Through a system of Intensive Hebrew studies they are guaranteed a good working knowledge of Hebrew within 15 months.
But Richer* j^
By K. G. PETERSON When M. I. decided to take his family to Israel, he went to the Jewish Agency for information. "I have always —made my own way," he now says. "It would never have "occurred to me to ask them for help. "I didn't imagine that settling in Israel would be easy," M. said. 'I thought it over and decided that if all these arragements were being made for new 'immigrants, maybe it's because they need them— and in that case I would need them too/ He agreed then to accept the usual help from the Jewish Agency.M. is a small, wiry man, looking very much younger than his 43 years—because, he said, he has led a pleasant life. His wife is a nurse; they • have three daughters, aged 9, 5 and 3. The family was living in a small coastal town near Casablanca; the Jewish congregation there was small and they were on excellent terms with "their Arab neighbors. M. has worked in banking all his life and for the past ten years was manager of a local branch of a French banking house. "As a banker," he said, "I can appreciate the financial help which the Jewish Agency gives to new immigrants." M. said: "It wasn't the first consideration, of c o u r s e . I mean, interest-free loans and
a mortgage on easy terms and all the other things wouldn't have made me leave the life I had if I hadn't wanted to come to Israel, and they certainly don't make me any better off — financially! — than I was." With his job as bank manager went a large flat and all its running'expenses. M. said: "I was earning a lot—but I didn't save: we were used to having things." Naturally, they had a car; they had two servants; they entertained a lot. During all the years of her marriage his wife did not work; M. liked the thought of her being at home. Now, e v e r y t h i n g h a s changed for them. "Consider what it means for a family to have no income during five or six months .while the wageearner learns the- language," .Meyer pointed out. "Of courseone needs help to tide one over the period." They were given an interestfree loan for the journey to Israel and to ship their belongings, a free flat for five months (the duration of an . ulpan—crash course in Hebrew) and another loan to cover their living expenses during this time. Other benefits include free health insurance for the first six months, free elementary schooling and four •years of free secondary schooling. They have now been in, the

country for three months. They are living at the Jerusalem Absorption Center, in a modern 3-rootn f u r n i s h e d flat; in some centers, but not here, food is provided. Jaquline prefers it like this, and the shopping she has to do helps her toward becoming a housewife in Israel. "It's not only a question of learning at what time food is in season," she said. "Now I buy one pound instead of two, or a few ounces only of this or that— ot try and manage on what money I have." Once they are settled, she plans to go out to work, like almost all Israeli women, even those with young children. M. said: "I am not worried about the future. The first thing I have to do is to learn the language—that's my work at the moment." As he is used to living by the sea, he has begun to look for a job in Ashdod, where his best friend has settled for more than ten years and may be able to help him. "I've never been dependent on other people before—not in this way," M. said. "But here in Israel people seem to take it for granted that they have to help each other—the oldtimers help us newcomers like parents help children." •.. Also, the housing situation is easier in Ashdod than it is in Jerusalem. Once-M. has found work, the family will have the choice of renting a Jewish Agency flat with an option for three years to buy it on easy terms, or of obtaining a mortgage of up to some $12,800 repayable over 20 years at a low rate of interest When it comes to furnishing their new home, they will benefit from various tax exemptions. They will also be able (if they can afford it) to import a car within two years without purchase tax and paying only a much reduced customs duty. "Wages are-lower and the cost of living is higher in Is- ' rael, and the taxes—direct and indirect—are higher here than t anywhere else," Mr. said. "With the best will in the world I can't, pay my own way now; as I have been used to doing.! It's worth all the money I hive to me to be living in Israel."

QUESTION': Why does Jewish tradition require that the eyes' of the deceased be closed alter death? ANSWER: Some sources claim that it is the duty of the son to close the eyes of his father after death takes place. It is claimed that when the soul leaves the body the last vision it sees is the Divine Countenance of the Almighty. The eyes are then closed so that this vision of the Almighty's presence be the last thing observed by the physical vision. * * * , QUESTION: Why does the Jewish tradition require that the deceased have his face covered immediately by a sheet when death occurs? ANSWER: Some claim that this was instituted for a practical reason. The corpse of a poor man would display a worn and thin haggard face while the face of a rich man would display a round full visage. When the rabbis observed that the poor were covering the faces of their deceased because of their embarrassment, they'ordained that even the rich do likewise so that no ono would be able to discern the financial status of the deceased sinco all are equal after the life on this world. In this way the poor corpses would be spared embarrassment. Others claim a moral reason for this practice. • , . . - • . " Gazing upon the face of the deceased represents an insult to him, as well as a sign of disrespect The dead are unable to protect their privacy since they are helpless, unlike the living.who can turn away from anyone whom they do not. wish to look upon Uiem. Thus their faces are covered to protect their privacy.

FHday, Jan. 15,
New York-, New York—What happens to a young man, thousands of miles from family and friends, exposed daily to unimaginable horror, or tedium so excruciating that it c r e a t e s doubts of one's worth? This question so troubled a group of theologians at The Je"wish Theological Seminary of America that they pressed for an accelerated course, .which would speed the training of rabbis who, as chaplains in the armed forces, could minister to these •young men. In 1968, responding to the need, the Seminary instituted an accelerated program designed to provide Jewish chaplains for the armed forces. Seven young men have completed the program, and four of them are now serving in the Pacific, according to Dr. Louis Finkelstein, Seminary Chancellor. "The chaplaincy program/' he explained, "selects the best prepared young men, and enables them to complete their rabbinical training in 27 months, instead of the usual four years. It means not only that we are helping reduce the shortage of Jewish Chaplains, tmt that the best of our young men are assuming this duty." : In many instances, the chapIain must do far more than bring spiritual.guidance to the troops. He must establish Jewish community life where it has never existed before, provide Jewish education to children and adults, officiate at ceremonies as well as services, . give counsel on mundane as well as religious matters, build bridges between officers and enlisted men and break down barriers between the. military and the non-military Jewish communities. No service demands more fully that a man fulfill his ordained r o l e as
THE
"rabbi, teacher and preacher." Ail clergy and theological students are draft exempt. The chaplaincy is therefore a voluntary service, and the young rabbis who elect to serve are devout and highly dedicated men. Captain Mark Shrager, a graduate of the accelerated program and currently "our man in Okinawa" tries to provide a "home atmosphere" for his congregants. After Yom Kippur services, a break-the-fast meal was served to 85 people, prepared in large by Jewish families living on the island.' His men helped the children of the community to build and decorate a sukkah, and regular Sabbath services bring enlisted men and o f f i c e r s together, without the usual barriers. Captain Richard Yellin, another recent rabbinical graduate to enter-the chaplaincy, is the sole Jewish chaplain in Korea, where he was sent after s p e n d i n g one year at Fort Knox. In a recent letter to a former teacher' at the Seminary, Captain Yellin expressed strong views on both the military life and the chaplaincy. "I thought that quite possibly I might be able to consider a career as a Military Chaplain," he wrote. "Very quickly did I realize that a rabbi cannot survive in this . . . bureaucracy. I am now committed to the premise that all rabbis should serve a maximum of two years and then leave." In his current post, R a b b i Yellin conducts services, runs a monthly discussion group for forty people, a monthly men's club, a semi-monthly Sisterhood, a Bar and Bas Mitzva class, a Bulletin, and a Hebrew school for twelve children. He has also found time for a youth group and a series of ecumeni-
Freedom Flight Delayed Washington (JTA)—The "bureaucratic boondoggling of Soviet officialdom" has caused Rep. Bertram L. Podell, New York Democrat, to postpone plans to lead a 20-Congressman "freedom flight" to Moscow to protest the Leningrad sentences against 11 defendants, nine of them Jews. Podell had planned to take his plea directly to Premier Alexei N. Kosygin, but "the Soviet Embassy refused to speed up its snail-like application process." Nevertheless, he said, "The humanitarian efforts of my colleagues to plead the case of basic civil liberties for 3.5 million people held in virtual captivity will not just pass away. We will get the visas and. we--will go to Moscow, bringing with us legislators from all over the world.". Podell accused the Soviet Embassy of "stalling" and acting with "deliberate deceit."

cal lectures in Seoul. He travels all over Korea and a few days each month to serve a congregation composed of United Nations and Embassy personnel, some forty Israeli families, civilians attached to the military, Korean Jewish converts and servicemen and their families. For Captain Sheldon J. Lewis, military service holds a few light moments. As one' of only three Jewish chaplains in Vietnam he must counsel men who are in constant danger, comfort the wounded, help bury the dead. An unusually gentle and scholarly man, Rabbi Lewis went into the chaplaincy, as did the others, only after m u c h soul searching. The difficult decision to become a "rabbi in uniform" has b e e n compounded in recent years by the conviction, on the part of many people, that the war in Vietnam is an unjust and immoral war. To serve the military in such a war poses many deep theological and philosophical problems. Captain James Lebeau, a Navy chaplain since his ordination in June- of 1970, voiced, the problem and decision of many of his fellow clergymen when he said: "Was I desecrating God's name by serving the military during a war that is improper or am I sanctifying His name by serving the needs of Jewish men"? Influenced in part by the experiences of his brother who had also been a chaplain, Rabbi Lebeau decided to volunteer for the service. '/The military man more often than not these days is in service not by choice but against his will. What crime has the Jewish soldier committed to be rejected by the American rabbinate?" . '• -
Soviet Jewry, is opposed to public demonstrations on their behalf on the grounds that they are counter-productive. "If you want a favor from someone, you don't step on his toes," according to Rabbi Yudel Krinsky," a spokesman for Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Rabbi Krinsky said the Lubavitcher movement believes that quiet diplomacy is more effective than loud protests when it comes to rescuing the Jews of Russia. "Russia does not respond to demonstrations," he said in an interview with Ray Kestenbaum, editor of World Jewish News, a nightly radio program broadcast over WEVD. The spokesman recalled the case of the late Rabbi Joseph Schneerson. He was sentenced to death in Russia in 1928. Protests, he said, were of no avail. It was through the quiet intervention of the heads of many governments, including the late President Herbert Hoover, that Rabbi Schneerson was freed and later emigrated to the U.S. Rabbi Krinsky recalled.

Dr. Eugene Borowitz Heads Jewish Cultural Programming New York—A National Commission on Jewish Cultural Programming has been established by the National Jewish Welfare Board (JWB) to ascertain the needs of American Jewry in the Jewish cultural arts and to determine the role that JWB and other,Jewish organizations should p l a y in meeting these needs. Dr. Eugene B. Borowitz, professor of Jewish thought at the New York school of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, has been appointed Commission chairman. At the- first organizational meeting of the Commission Dr. .Borowitz said, "We must create a culture of our own, more concerned with discovery, with young people, and with old people who are not established." Among his "dreams" for American Jewish cultural life by 1980 Dr. Borowitz listed (he following: In the literary world: " . . . a Jewish literary journal, less historical than creative and contemporary, more concerned, with discovery than with established names." In the music world: ". . . some sort of showcase for the presentation and recording of the best works of Jewish com-
Dr. Eugene Borowitz posers . . . O n the folk level, I would like to see music that would reflect a clear sense of the American Jew . . . we should express our own particular feelings in songs." In the art world: " . . . artists in every community so that community standards could be raised by the creative people. On the folk level, I would like to see something happen where local talents could be -encouraged to utilize their own art in such forms as New Year cards, Bar Mitzvah invitations, rather than getting copies from mu-";, seums."

Washington (JTA)—A delegation representing 700 American scientists who signed a petition on behalf of Russian Jews, was rebuffed at the Soviet Embassy when it sought to present the petition to Ambassador Anatoly F . Dobrynin. Alexander P. Yevstafyev, the Embassy's press counsellor, said he could not accept the petition because the statements in it "were not true." ' According to one member of the delegation however, Yevstafyev told them that if the Middle East situation improved, the attitude of the Soviet Union toward the emigration of Jews would change. The scientists, most of them employed at the National Institute of Health, petitioned Soviet authorities to relax restrictions on minorities within the Soviet Union. They asked specficaliy for the release of Jews recently sentenced or facing trial in an alleged hijack attempt in Leningrad and for the right of emigration for those Jews who wish to leave the Soviet Union. The scientists said they were speaking priv-ately and not as members of the N a t i o n a l Institute of Health. The petition and an accompanying statement, were addressed to Ambassador Dobrynin. Copies were sent to President Nixon, Secretary of State Rogers and Secretary General U Thant of the United Nations. Among the signatories were , two Nobel Prize winners, Dr.
Marshall Nirenberg who was cited for his work on the genetic code and Dr. Julius Axelrod for his research en the nervous system. Several scientists at Catholic University and the University of Maryland who heard about (lie petition, asked to sign it. Dr. Jack Cohen, a London-born bio-chemist at the N.I.H. who was the pxime mover in the petition action said it was "abs o l u t e l y spontaneous" and added that many more signatures could have been obtained if there was more time. He acknowledged that a few scientists declined to sign the petition on grounds that they never signed such documents or be% cause they felt it was too restrictive by its emphasis on the oppression of Jews.

This was a political controversy, and the courts refused to be dragged in. Determents The two points of view in this public controversy can be sum; marized as follows: The religious leaders plead that with the destruction of the great centres of religious scholarship in Eastern Europe everything possible must be done to renew the w e l l s p r i n g s of Jewish learning.
