THE JEWISH PRESS
Chairman V Message Never has a Philanthropies campaign started with such cooperation and understanding among the women of Omaha. Never has the need for cooperation and understanding been more critical. We have been asked to double our goal in 1971. ' We frankly confess that we are awestruck at the. prospect. In awe—but not afraid, becaiise the Jews of Omalia are Jews of quality. They sincerely feel their Jewish identity and responsibility, and will respond in kind. The 1971'Campaign Cabinet has, hopefully, a proper blend of experience; enthusiasm and energy; and has, assuredly, a spirit of total commitment. The Cabinet has planned leadership and worker training that will send knowledgeable campaigners out to reach every woman in the Jewish community. Once again, the campaign is based, on personal solicitation,. ; Predicated on the premise that it is now or never; that we must sacrifice to survive; we have established a new division, Grand Gifts, with a minimum gift of $1,000. The other innovation of the '71 campaign Is the Newcomer Division. This division will introduce and explain local agencies and services to those women new to the community.
And so, gratefully we continue, with our efforts and our gifts, to help assure the survival of a Jewish nation and a Jewish community. It is truly a noble mission.

Israel Reacts to Jarring, Sadat Proposals f Jerusalem (JTA) — Israeli leaders were wrestling with two major diplomatic problems and the possibility of a serious rift with Washington arising from one -of them. The Cabinet suspended all other business and devoted its regular session to the latest move by the United Nations mejjrator, Ambassador Gunnar V. Jarring, who, Israel contends, exceeded the author. i(y of his mandate from the Security Council in the letters he 'submitted last week to Israel and Egypt. Israelis were also reacting to Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's -elaboration of his offer to reopen the Suez Canal provided Israel w i t h d r a w s its forces from the waterway. The Israeli view the Sadat proposal as a cunning ploy to force Israel's withdrawal without a peace settlement but fear that the Egyptian leader may have - won world opinion to^his side, at least temporarily.'' The latest Jarring move created the gravest misgivings here. Israel saw it as a "pro-' posal" that it agree to return to the pre-June, 1967 boundaries before a peace settlement. Is-
raeli leaders claimed that when they agreed to resume the Jarring'talks last month it was with the specific understanding that the Swedish d i p l o m a t would continue his role as a mediator w i t h o u t advancing "solutions." P r e m i e r Golda Meir and Foreign Minister Abba Eban made their attitude clear to United States Ambassador Walworth Barbour at a meeting last Friday. But the U.S. has disagreed sharply with Israel's view of the Jarring move. Obviously speaking -for the Administration, Assistant* Secretary of State Joseph J. Sisco said the CBS television program "Face the Nation" that Jarring "has a very broad mandate and is acting strictly in accord with that mandate." He declared that the time has come for both parties to make "painful compromises" and take "risks for peace." Sisco noted that Security Council Resolution 242, mandating Dr. Jarring "to promote an agreement between the two parties," and the U.S. peace initiative of June 1970, gives the UN mediator "very wide latitude indeed." Since

both sides are committed to the Council resolution and the U.S. initiative, "no procedures are barred," Sisco added. Of more immediate concern •was Sadat's interview published this week in Newsweek magazine. The Egyptian President said that in exchange for an Israeli withdrawal to a line behind El Arish he w o u l d be p r e p a r e d to re-open the Suez Canal within six month. El Arish, a coastal town in eastern Sinai, is only 30 miles from the old Israeli-Egyptian border and withdrawal to that point would be tantamount to withdrawal from almost all of the Sinai peninsula. Sadat told Newsweek's senior editor, Arnaud de Borchgrave, that he was prepared to accept an international force at Sharm.elv

In Philadelphia, Yuri Yurovsky, director of the Omsk dance company, agreed to carry home a request that Soviet Jews be allowed to emigrate or to retain their culture and religion in the USSR. Yurovsky met with representatives of the Philadelphia Jewish Community Council, who made the request." Theodore R>Mann, president of the Council, defended the appearance of the Soviet artists as "part of the important cultural exchange policy between our two countries." But he deplored what he called "the deliberate denial and repression of any act of Jewish self-expression* 'by the Soviet government."

The letter s t a t e d , "Your forthcoming appearance in Baltimore is c a u s i n g a great amount of consternation." It went on to say: "The Committee feels that the Siberian Dancers and Singers of Omsk and other similar cultural activities are but Soviet masks to conceal the denial of liberty.

and Cairo were not referred to directly but the communique made it clear that Israel does not consider itself bound by any obligations to Dr. Jarring's proposals. There was no official information on the content of the> Jarring letter which caused consternation in Jerusalem. Unconfirmed reports published last week claimed that he suggested an Israeli withdrawal from the Sinai peninsula, the stationing of a UN force at Sharm el-Sheikh and Israeli ret e n t i o n of the Gaza Strip. Knowledgeable observers said it was not likely that Dr. Jarring made outright proposals on these subjects but that he may have submitted one or more questions so phrased as to imply that he favored a certain course of action.

THE JEWISH PBESS
Brandeis U. Students Protest Mobil Policy WALTHAM, Mass. (JTA)-More than 100 Jewish students at Brandeis University interrupted a presentation by four executives of Mobil Oil.Company to protest Mobil's ban on Jewish- and Israeli-made products on carriers calling at Arab ports. In a telephone report to the Jewish TelegrapMc Agency in New York, a leader of the campus' Jewish Activist League of the ' Radical Zionist Alliance said the demonstrators attended a scheduled talk last Friday on "career opportunities" at Mobil and Interrupted to challenge Mobil's policy. The activist leader, M. J. Rosenberg, told the JTA that the executives had "tried to recruit Jews for their office in New York while they follow an antiSemitic policy." The Mobil executives were "quite surprised" at the interruption, Rosenberg said, and the university officials present "apologized all over the place." When the attendees were given the opportunity to leave the room, he said, only about 10 of the approximately 125 students there remained. The demonstrators dispensed fliers reproducing articles reporting the charges against Mobil. When the demonstrators vowed to rally 1,000 students at Mobil's scheduled oncampus recruitment drive in March, the company officials indicated that the drive would be canceled, Rosenberg said. Matthew Sgan, associate dean of students at Brandeis University, told the JTA by^phone that he did not recall having formally apologized to the Mobil officials. The issue, he said, was not one of a company's operating policy but one of "academic freedom," that is, the executives should have been allowed to speak without hindrance. He said 10 to 20 students remained after the demonstrators left. He said the Mobil men stated they wero willing to return in March, and that as of today their reappearance had not been cancelled. '
Communist Front Organization Seeks Funds for AntMsrael Ads New York (JTA)—The B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation League warned this week that a group calling itself the "Committee for a Just Peace in the Middle -East-' was a Communist front s p r e a d i n g anti-Israel propaganda in this country. According to the ADL's general counsel, -Arnold Forstcr, the committee is trying to raise
funds for an anti-Israel advertising campaign without disclosing its true nature. He said the purpose of the ADL was to warn Americans who might be tempted to contribute "without knowing that they were lending their names to a Communist cause."

Omahans React to Israel Omaha — Eleven Omahans returned last week from a UJA Study Mission tour of Israel. For eight of the group, the visit was their first. Members of the Omaha delegation included Mortimer Greenberg, Mr. and Mrs. Morley Zipursky (the three making repeat trips to Is" rael). The "first-timers" were Messrs. and Mmes. Robert Newman, Eli Schupack, Stanley Slosburg and Robert E. Wagner. Elsewhere on this page is an article written fey Mrs. Wagner, Advertising Manager of the Jewish Press v relating the highlights of her • ' first trip to Israel. Members of the other three couples were contacted by the Jewish" Press for their impressions. • • • ' The three agreed that it was a "tiring" trip because the tour covered a great deal of territory in a very short time. Mrs. Stanley Slosburg noted, however, that upon her return she realized the importance of the many places they visited. "Looking at a Mr. and Mrs. Eli Schupack tion to get in. Sick, well, aged, young-it doesn't make any difference. If you are a Jew, the door is open. Things are pretty good for Jews In America now," he said, "but the day may well come when we need this place of refuge, and for that reason it is mandatory that Jews of America support Israel—to aid fellow Jews in other countries who have to get out now, and to prepare for the day when we too may need a place to go." •
•

Mrs. Robert Newman could not pick a highlight of the trip. "Each day was more exciting than the day before," she said. "It seems impossible, but it's true." Mrs. Newman described her experiences the day the group visited Suez. Egyptian planes flew over. An Israeli soldier with whom I was

You have to see it to realize it." ' . The Slosbnrgs have family in Israel and had the opportunity to visit relatives they had never met before. "That in itself was exciting," said Mrs. Slosburg. ''One of Bud's uncles is a teacher in Jerusalem, and I asked him if Israelis were aware of what UJA was doing. He told me that -they 'teach1 UJA in school. He told me that ' Israelis know they could not survive without UJA aid." Mrs. Slosburg said that 15 years ago she had -a burning desire to go to Israel and was sorry that she missed the chance to see the country When it was new. "I didn't think itwould'be as exciting now; but it is still so new, and so much growth is still going on. We were thrilled with everything. It is an unbelievable country," she. said. '
By Sylvia Wagner , This is a personal* non-objective view of a first trip to Israel by an American Jew. I can't, be aloof and non-biased and still be honest.. The most lasting impressions were those created by the people—all the people: my traveling companions from all over the United States who gathered 'at El Al in high spirits and kept their marvelous good cheer all through the rigorous mission; the efficient El Al staff whose security measures were carried Mrs. Robert E.

ion By CARL ALPERT Haifa—Anwar Sadat, President of Egypt, can not sleep njghts. As a result of a gigantic tactical blunder, he has let himself be backed into a position where it is he who must decide whether the war along the Suez breaks out a g a i n or. not. He h a d ] mistakenly believed that the I mere threat 6K,war would! frighten Israel y and the U. S. 3 into making substantial concessions. *The emptiness of his threats is now being exposed. But there is another factor, much more frightening to Sadat. No Egyptian military commentator cares to talk about it publicly, but there is little doubt that privately it is a source of grave concern. The fact is that Egypt has become hopelessly, irrevocably vulnerable. How? Any escalation of shooting along the Suez-, any thoughtless attempt to spread the war to Israel's urban areas — to the extent' that Egyptian planes manage to remain in the skies for a few days—would invite a necessary military retaliation which would be devastating to Egypt. Construction of the A s w a n High Dam has provided any enemy cf* Egypt with one simple, concentrated target which holds the key to the major part of the country's, economy. Furthermore, it is a target which
cannot be moved or camouflaged. The bulk of Egypt's population is,in the areas along'both sides of the Nile and at its delta. The river is Egypt's only Waterway, aside from the Suez, and practically the only source of water. Anything which makes the Nile unmanageable would be a national-catastrophe.
sluice gales open so that no waters accumulated. But as Binyamin Amidror pointed out in a recent issue of Ha'aretz, the result would be as if the dam had never been built. All the electrification, industrial and agricultural development which had . been based on it would be left high and dry— useless.

Sidelines By Mickey GereKck
By MIKE RIPS J n various cities across the country there are synagogues which require a contribution to Israel in order to obtain membership. Recently a proposal similar to this was brought before the combined boards of the thre'e major synagogues in Omaha.
Between You and Me By Boris Smolar "Jews-are beautiful!," a top leader of the United Jewish Appeal said recently. "There were years when it was important to deliver impressive speeches in order to stimulate Jewish givers to increase their UJA contributions. Today, this is no longer necessary. No,more speeches are needed. Today, each Jew knows well why he is giving and for what the money is spent. He is also conscious of the fact that the need for greater giving to UJA is today greater than ever before." The UJA leader is so right. There Is now a new kind of giving—a new, kind of understanding of Israel's needs ot thfs crucial time. At small gatherings of large givers you hear the assertion that this is a bad year in business, that money is tight, that the economy is bad. You are prepared to hear that the complainer will probably end up with announcing that-ho cannot afford to contribute more for 1971 to UJA than what he contributed last year. But this is usually not the case. The climax of his pessimistic pronouncement is usually just the contrary. -" . , ; "I know that I have no right to do it, when business is not at its best, but I nevertheless will raise my $5,000 contribution of last year to $25,000 this year!," one "complaincr" said concluding his brief talk a t a UJA fund-raising meeting of big givers. Others followed. There was one who, after complaining about the economy of the country, startled the gathering by announcing that he will raise his gift of $50,000 of last year to $250,000 this year. Another one raised his $50,000 contribution of 1970 to $1 million for the 1971 campaign. . '•'/ NEW SPIRIT This new spirit of giving can be noted among contributions on all levels. It is marked not so much by emotional feelings— as was the case in 1907 during the critical period of the Six-Day War—but by a greater understanding- of what the needs really are. _ Jews in the United States are beginning to see the fate of Israel in a different light now that the U.S. government is seriously concerned with the situation in the Middle East. They realize-the ever-growing danger for the State, of-Israel which stands in the way of Moscow's expansion* There has always been the argument that Israel Is the bastion _of the democratic world in the Middle East. But this argument. was taken by' many as merely as well-sounding slogan. Today, It is ho longer just a slogan. Top policymakers in Washington consider it a reality in the light of the Soviet military moves in the area. As Washington is now recognizing more and more the danger to Israel, so are many American Jews who were .'previously well-disposed toward helping the Jewish State but did not give the-maximum they could forthe UJA. i >; »,., \ ' i' •.;'.-•!( The UJA may not reach its 1971 goal of, S40O,milJioi)Lfully,,M. it may come close to it under the new mood of giving. •
Even though the proposal might gain a certain amount of funds for Israel I find the audacity of such a suggestion incomprehensible. To think that someone would be banished from affiliation with a synagogue merely because he does not. want his money to go to Israel seems alarming to me. Reducing this argument to a totally absurd level one might then say that a boy should be rejected from e l e m e n t a r y school merely because he does not give his money to support the Safety Patrol. Both Israel and the-Safety Patrol are by all means good ideas but as the 'function of the school is not t o t a l l y encompassed by the Safety Patrol neither are the functions and aspects of Judaism totally encompassed by the present Israeli crisis. Secondly, it might be worth reminding those who advocate such a proposal to consider the thought that everything is relative. Meaning simply that those who reject the Israeli state or merely don't desire to donate their money to Israel are just as correct in their opinions as those who believe that the present day situation in Israel is paramount in all of our lives. Byjurthering such a restrictive proposal I see the Jewish community moving backward in the areas of individual freedom and interpretation. For a group to believe they are totally correct is tragic enough. But worse yet, is the possibility of that group forcing their opinions on others with the threat of punishment lingering over head. The days when Spinoza stood before the elders of Amsterdam begin to seem a good deal more realistic.

I expected a deluge of complaints from all my loyal readers when I skipped writing a column last week. It was kind of demoralizing when the deluge counted up to two. (Even more unnerving—one was my husband and the other my mother.) If I wasn't an optimist, I'd have to conclude that no one missed the column. Thank goodness I'm an optimist, so I figure all my loyal readers were just too Shy to complain. That'll get me through this time, but I don't think I'll try that test again soon. Anyhow, the reason I didn't write a column last week was because I spent the time writing some rather important letters, -s,, First I wrote to Al Capp to tell him what I thought of his "Moshe Dayan-Ham Sandwich" episodes in 'lil Abner. Because I'm still a bit uneasy about libel suits, I won't repeat here what I wrote to Mr.Capp. Suffice to say he should have no doubts that I thought the strips were in poor t a s t e and shouldn't have been run even if they were funny—which they weren't. 'Dear Mr. President' Then I wrote a series of letters' to presidents. First I wrote to the president of Mobil Oil Company enclosing with my letter our Mobil credit cards. It was rfairly polite, restrained letter, but I think he got the point. If Mobil was "forced" to boycott Israel, then I was "forced" to boycott Mobil. Mobil's boycott of Israel won't put Israel out of business anymore than my returning my Mobil credit cards is going to put. Mobil out of business, but it was my way of protesting, and I felt better when I got that letter in the mail. . Mobil claims that other oil companies are also observing the Arab boycott regulations. Among" those named by Mobil are American Standard Oil, the Marathon OH Company, Texaco, Shell and British Petroleum. I ijon't havQ any credit cards with tho'So firms, so someone else baa better write those letters.
••«•<« •* w w «i«!«« *>
presidents was the biggie—the one in Washington. I realiy felt I had to add my voice in protest of the President of the United States televising the State of the Union message on Friday night. Again I was respectful, but I had to let our leader know that when he com-' petes with God for a Jew's n attention on Friday night he may come out second best—even among Republican Jews. : * • • . Then I wrote to Golda about the rumor that she is considering retirement. I urged her to think carefully before she made the decision. What would she do after she retired? I can't see her taking up bridge or needlepoint. Time would soon hang heavy oh her hands.
And while I was wondering where Mrs. Mcir could best use her time and her expertise in running a country if she did decide to 'retire froriirIsraeli" leadership—I came up with the perfect answer. I won't go into details now, but if Mrs. Meir^ does retire, I may have to skip writing another . column, because I'll have to write another important letter to Mr. Nixon. I wonder how he feels about bridge and needlepoint? . :

New¥©rk Congregation Ousts 'Hippie9 Rabbi New York, (JTA)—The board of trustees of Shaaray Tefila, " one of the largest Reform cong r e g a t i o n s in the United States, has dismissed Rabbi Philip Schechter on charges of unfitness to serve as a rabbi. Rabbi Schechter said that he had been dismissed because he had tried to modernize procedures of the synagogue, including introduction of experimental services, which had evoked opposition among some "powerful members" of the board.
Under both the state Religious Corporation law and the congregational by-laws, a rabbi cannot be dismissed without a congregational hearing. Rabbi Schechter said he had asked for a congregational hearing but that it was refused him. However, he said, when word leaked to the congregation about his Jan. 31 ouster, congregants began collecting signatures for a petition for a congregational meeting and, many more than the minimum 20 names were collected. Rabbi Schechter said that at
Frederick Block, president of the board, said that Rabbi Schechter was still spiritual leader of the congregation but that, ._ih_.view. of the controversy, he had proposed and the board had agreed to give him a paid leave of absence until the end of his contractual yea: in June. He had been hired last July. ^THANKS Rabbi Schechter saidjie had I wish to extend our most been informed by^-Block that gracious thanks from the Omathe board had'fejected a 3-2 ha Committee on Soviet Jewry recommendation of a special and the Youth Committee for five-man committee, appoint- your most appreciated help in ed by Block, that Rabbi bringing forth the issues and Schechter be retained, and * needs on the Soviet Jewry quesvoted for his immediate ouster tion. on Jan. 31.

no time during any of the hearings preceding his dismissal had be been asked to participate so that he could defend himself against the charges. Rabbi Schechter does not have a written contract, at liis own choice. He said he had come to the congregation from a pulpit in Atlantic City with the stated assignment of "modernizing" the congregation and that he had been consistently opposed by certain members, both on the board and outside of it.

By JOSEPH POLAKOFF JTA Washington Bureau Chief Somehow tho notion is gainIng hold that if Israel would only agree to withdraw to her pre-1967 borders the threat of Soviet-American confrontation In the Middle East would recede; the U.S. would be Spared from worry over a further naval thrust into the Mediterranean; and Israel would benefit from a benign Kremlin. Whether in tones of friendly persuasion or of dire warning, the sweep of expression is the tame—alienation of American public opinion from continued unwavering support of Israel's logically incontestible insistence on a negotiated settlement with the Arabs before withdrawal. Thus, the word is spread by one pair of syndicated columnists that "pro-Western Arab leaders" are saying privately Jhat if Israel does not soon agree to withdraw from the Sinai, the Egyptian government "may come under tho eventual political control of Moscow as the price-for continued Soviet aid." The price they report, would include a Soviet naval base on Egypt's Mediterranean coast. The ugly inference is that if this happens, Israel will be responsible for Soviet extension of power in the Levant. The State Department scoffs ." at these .views. This being budget season in Washington, a high Department source observed, a Soviet naval scare would help the Navy convince Congress of its requirements for hardware and funds. Besides, he added, if the Israelis did lejato the Sinai who would push the Russians out of Egypt? One New York Kremlinologist says this is the "critical period of decision-making" in the Kremlin in preparation for the first Communist Party Congress since 1966 on March

cles adjust themselves to new activity. It is recommended that the following five minute routine be followed in warming up. During the first minuto do stretching exercises for arms, legs and back. During the second minute do sit-ups (with knees bent) and push-ups. During the third minute, walk in a circle at a fairly rapid pace. During the fourth minute alternate 15 seconds of walking with 15 seconds of jogging. During the fifth minute jog continuously, at a very slow speed.
