Rigermon Rups U.S. Jewry on Efforts f o r Soviet Jews "New York (JTA)—An impassioned Leonid Rigerman lashed out this week at the established Jewish organizations for what fie called their "tragic" failure to rally American Jews to demonstrate openly and constantly on behalf of freedom for their Soviet brethren. "In the Soviet Union," he told 40 activist leaders of the Center for Russian Jewry, "120 Jews had the courago to stage a demonstration in the offices of the Supreme"Soviet',"and In great New York City with 3 million Jews only a few thousand come to a protest meeting. This is a tragedy, and our main enemy is tho idea that it won't help anyway."

Liege, B e l g i u m (JTA) — Around 30 demonstrators broke •into Ihe Congress Palace this week and let l o o s e several white mice during a Soviet fashion show within the framework of a "Soviet Decades" exhibit. The action'was similar to one staged in New York several weeks ago by Jews protesting t h e treatment of their Soviet coreligionists.
"Thero are many Soviet Jews, the computer programmer stated,' "who are determined to fight and to get out, and they will be doing this whether we will support them or not"; therefore, "to say we will harm them by demonstrations is ridiculous." He added One of the protesters here, that "if we do not help, the Soviet Jewish people will help wearing a talith, mounted the themselves and it will only be rostrum and led the others in singing, "Let My People Go." on our conscience."

Games Patients Play
'Mock' Marriage Dissolved TEL AVIV—The Tel Aviv Rabbinical Court has granted a divorce to a young man who found himself the victim of a "mock" marriage performed while he was a patient in a hospital, accord% Ing to a story in The Jerusalem Post. The young man's troubles began a few months ago when some bored patients in an unnamed hospital decided to liven things up in the patients' lounge. Noticing that two of their fellow patients—a young man and woman—had struck up a close friendship, they suggested a mock marriage. . ' The two, equally bored with the dull hospital routine, agreed to play along. According to reports, the "groom" had no ring to offer his bride, so he just handed her a random coin as he recited the Mosaic marriage vows. There was plenty of singing and clapping and a good time was had by all. A few days later the "husband" was released from the hospital. One morning, he received a letter saying: "Come join me in Tel Aviv." It was signed, "Your lawfully-wedded wife." ' A bit shaken, the young man dismissed the matter again. A few days later came a follow-up letter: "I'm your wife, and here are the names of the persons who witnessed our wedding." Then a third letter arrived. This one was from the Tel Aviv Rabbinical Court. The court was just letting him know that a certain young woman, obviously in love with him, had asked them to intervene and return her husband to her. The young man explained his predicament to the rabbis, saying he never had and did not have any intention of taking the girl as his wife. The rabbis explained that, technically, the wedding having been staged before witnesses and the groom having presented the bride with "an object of value" (the coin)—was valid. Therefore it could be dissolved only by divorce:

Jackson said that continued support for the "Rogers formula" has now become "the major obstacle to progress in the efforts to negotiate stable peace in the Middle East," He added that the formula's "principal effect has been to shake the confidence of our friends, deepen the intransigence of our enemies and discourage genuine negotiations." Jackson described the formula as providing that any settlement should be based on Israeli withdrawal from virtually all occupied territory." He said that "only a failure to appreciate Israel's determination to negotiate secure and defensible borders can explain the administration's p e r s i s tence in this s h o r t s i g h t e d plan." He also said that "our energetic diplomacy aimed at reopening the Suez Canal is extremely dangerous." Jackson observed that "once the canal is opened the effectiveness of the growing Soviet military and merchant fleets would be' doubled" and contribute to the "ongoing Soviet penetration of Africa." Moreover, Sen. Jackson said, Ike U.S. could well find itself "undertaking to prevent, by force if necessary, a Soviet-Egyptian movement onto the East Bank of the canal" which is held by Israeli forces." In my view," he added, "the reopening of tJie Suez Canal should only be negotiated as part of an overall settlement and not in order toobtain fragile interim arrangements of doubtful value."

World News Briefs Freedom Forest New; York (JTA)—A Freedom Forest for Soviet Jewry will be planted in the Judean Hills near Shaar Hagai in the vicinity of Jerusalem. This is a world-wide expression through the Jewish National Fund of solidarity with Jews striving to leave the Soviet Union for Israel. The recent Brussels Conference on Soviet Jewry adopted the idea of a Freedom Forest as a symbol of the ongoing struggle of Soviet Jews for a new life in Israel.

Buenos Aires (JTA)—The Delegacion de Asgociaciones Israelites Argentinas (DAIA), the central organization of Argentine Jewry, has protested to Channel 13 here for telecasting programs in which the villains were Jews. The DAIA's protest centered on an episode titled "The Frustration" in the weekly series "The Beginning and the End," dramatizations cf cases of corruption and other sensational true incidents. "The Frustration" concerned a Jewish client of a bank who, by offering a sum to the bank manager, preempted 150 small personal credits, causing despair to 150 families. The client was depicted as a usurer and the actor who played him spoke with an unmistakable Jewish accent and. caricatured mannerisms. The bank manager was depicted as an honest man who succumbs to a Jewish bribe. .Channel 13 replied that it had not consid- , ered the characters as Jews or as non-Jews, sisjcc "we are all equal Argentinians." It not-e:I that out of 30 episodes criticizing aspects' of Argentine life, only twice "was the negative port personified in Jews." The channel never-' thdess apologized publicly, as the name of one of the villains was similar to that of a well-known Jewish banker here. But the apol-

Anti-War Rally Washington (JTA)—Several hundred Jewish youths were among the participants during the massive rally here Saturay to demand an end to U. S. involvement in Indochina. Despite the turnout of an estimated 500 Jewish youths from some 12 cities across the country, Samuel Sislen, assistant director of the Jewish Community Council of Greater Washington,' expressed disappointment-at'the relatively small turnout of Jewish youths. "It is very difficult to account for such a small number," he said and added that it was difficult, in the final analysis, to ascertain who was Jewish and who was not in the vast throng that choked the city for almost 24 hours. At one point during the rally, a group of Jewish youths spotted several neo-Nazis carTying placards and dressed in full regalia near the Pulaksi Monument. The youths started towards the neo-Nazis but were stopped by police. The Washington h e a d q u a r t e r s of B'nai B'rith provided kosher food and alloted space in its building for the RZA workshop and for a medical center staffed by the Medical Committee for Human Rights, a non-sectarian, non-partisan physicians group. The Religious Action Center of the UAHC served as a clearing house for families and congregants offered their homes to participants in the peace rally.

The Miracle Continues Twenty-three years ago a new red-letter date appeared on Jewish calendars, as we witnessed the miracle of the recreation of the State of Israel. The question of "Where to?" which had plagued Jews for centuries vanished with the birtli of the State of Israel. The United Nations, symbol of the apathetic world, ruled on May 14, 1948, that the stateless Jews of many centuries should finally have a home. The doors were opened to the remnants of the Holocaust, and today Ijsrael records 23 years of unbelievable accomplishments. The,tiny nation, housing homeless Jews from all parts of the world, has grown and prospered in spite of continuous attempts to destroy her. The miracle continues. Against all odds, Israel lives. The dream of Pinsker, Herzl and Weizmann has been realized. While the rest of the world remains apathetic, Jews of the world continue to demonstrate their determination to keep Israel alive. From the Sabra on the battlefield, to the dollar and moral support Of the Diaspora Jew, we have demonstrated our commitment to Israel's survival. Because we care enough, we give enough, and as long as we do, Israel will live. • .
By Mickey Gereliclt Nearly 800 people crowded Beth Israel Synagogue Wednesday evening for another "first" in Omaha; an address by a black Jew, Rabbi Hailu Mosha Paris. Co-sponsored by the American Jewish Committee and the Jewish Cultural Committee, the Rabbi's lecture presented a brief history of the Falasha Jew, and touched upon the problems of the black Jew in America. At a press conference earlier in the day, Ethiopian born Rabbi Paris refuted the contention that there has been an increase in black anti-Semitism. "The conflict is not between Blacks and Jews; it is the problem of Black and White in a racist society," he said. Rabbi Paris estimated that there are about 40,000 black Jews in America. I was surprised to learn that there were - that many. At the same time, I was aware that a group of 40,000 in our country is a very

Or is there another female editor of another Jewish newspaper in town that I don't know about? A minority of one is a pretty lonesome spot, but with your help, perhaps the picture can be changed. At a recent meeting of the Jewish Press committee it was (facided (hat rather than hiring a temporary vacation replacement for me this sumiiu-r, a permanent part-timeeditorial assistant should be ittuled to the stalf of the Jewish Press.

Somewhere there must be someone qualified and eager to snatch tlus fabulous opportuntiy. Said person should have an interest in Jewish life; have enough background to be able to identify "Jewish news," and have a burning desjre to help make the Jewish Press a better newspaper.

We're looking for someone to help improve the local'. news coverage all year round, as well as give me some time off this summer to get the cobwebs off the ceilings at home. It will take some one who can work full time for a few weeks this summer, and who can spare a few hours a week throughout the rest of the year. It is an unique opportunity.

ANNIVERSARY POST SCRIPTS Your 50th Anniversary edition of the Jewish Press has crossed my desk, and I just had to congratulate you on tills superb issue. It is full of interesting material and I am sure that it will be used in many ways—in interpreting Omaha; in Jewish education and the like. I particularly liked the Center spread and your article on "The Story Behind the Chipped Paint." Lionel Koppman, Senior Associate Public Information, National Jewish Welfare Board Everyone is talking about the 50th Anniversary issue of the Jewish Press in the nicest way. I know it took time, energy, knowledge, a labor of love beyond and above the line of duty to put together an issue like that. Congratulations. Bertie Stern Editor's note: There have been so many kind messages about the 50th Anniversary issue, all of them cannot be printed. We thank V/e many readers who took the time to write. And because so many have requested it, we are considering another "Review of the Past" for some future special edition of the Jewish Press. LIKES OTIIER NEWS Congratulations on your 50th anniversary of the J e w i s h Press. The inclusion of news from Lincoln, Council Bluffs and Des Moines has improved the paper very much.

Editorials in the Jewish Press
So What Else is New? In spite of the many advances which have been made during the past 50 years, some of the problems which plagued American Jewish life in the 1920's seem to be with us still. The following excerpts are from editorials which appeared in the Jewish Press in the 1920's. *

FOR THE SAKE OF THE CHILDREN /e are wondering how many of our good Jewish friends will take jitage of the proximity of Christmas to Chanukah this year to introi a Christmas tree into their homes, and to substitute thereon the yelEandles of the Jewish festival for the polychrome lights of the Chrisholiday. For we have known, and still do know, Jews in whose homes the decorated evergreen finds a place on December 25. They will tell you that they observe the Christmas season "for the sake of the children." For the sake of the children, too, gifts are exchanged with the same enthusiasm as they are in the. homes of their Christian neighbors. Why do our people follow after strange gods, and play with fire, as they do? Christmas trees and Christmas gifts among Jews are steps down the pathway that leads from Judaism to unbelief. No matter in how secular a manner Jews may indulge in "Gentile ceremonials, the fact remains that these ceremonials are linked with religious observances, and Jews who persist in observing them degrade themselves and insult the religious convictions of the Gentiles. Let the Jew not think that he will find favor among non-Jews when he prates to them of his Jewish Christmas parties. The sincere Christian will loathe him for it, and will hate his children after him. For the sake of the children let us forswear this senseless aping of things which do not concern us, as Jews. Let us stick to our own traditions and our own beliefs, our own ceremonials and our own legends. Let us rid ourselves of parents who are Jewish Gentiles, and of children who can be neither Jew nor Gentile. •

LET US NOT GIVE GOD A VACATION ^ Now that vacatipn time is here, and those individuals fortunate enough to be able to do so, hustle away to rest and recuperate, it is perhaps timely to say a word about giving God a vacation—as far as saving him the "trouble" of listening to prayers during the summer is concerned. ' We insist that God does not need a vacation. This being the case, we do not see why we should give him one. Just because we want to get away from the heat and from those
individuals that we see the rest of the year, does not justify our trying to get away from God. It is just as essential to pray in the summer as during the rest of the year. . Religious services should be arranged and conducted even in summer resorts. In fact, we venture to add that some people need religion even more in the summer while on their vacations than at any other time, •
Seven Girls in Coed Yeshivq "Compete With Boys ds- EqyciBs1 BOSTON (JTA)-Seven girl students attending a co-educational yeshiva told a reporter for a radical Jewish student newspaper that generally they arc treated on an equal footing with boy students but that the teachers "get a little upset when the girls do better." They expressed those views to Elaine Cohen, a reporter for Genesis 2, published in Boston by Jewish students in the area. The girls said there was no real difference in what the sexes were taught, adding "we take all the same subjects." They said that some of the rabbinical teachers "tend to put more pressure on the boys to do well in religious subjects but its Indirect. No one ever says, the girls don't have to know Chumash and Talmud."
Asked how the boys reacted when the girls did better in class performance, the girls said "sometimes they get a little upset too but the competition isn't really between the girls and boys as such. For the m o s t part, we compete as equals." Miss Cohen asked if the yeshiva education was meant to prepare them to be "good Jewish girls." They replied that there was an expectation that "well all get married and become mothers. But we're not really geared toward marriage and motherhood. That's just the expectation." Besides, they added, "the milzvah to have children is a mitzvah for men, not women. As for the laws of family purity and all that, they teach us all. the laws but they leave us pretty much to make up our own minds." Miss Cohen asked whether

WHAT A TRAGEDY! A Jewish woman living in a hotel on Central Park West and paying an annual rental of $8,000 for her suite gave one dollar—one whole dollar— as her contribution to the fund now being raised for the relief of Jewish war sufferers. A sister-in-law of Mr. Julius Rosenwald called the woman up and asked her whether she realized what she was doing. The reply was that "one dollar is enough.'' Mr. David A. Brown, chairman of the National Drive Committees, sent back the dollar with the statement: "That woman needs help more than the Jews of Eastern Europe. After all, they are only starving." Mr. Brown is right. That woman, who is rolling in luxury and considers a contribution of one hundred cents a sufficient enough contribution to the relief fund, needs help badly. May God help her. It is true that we grow callous to continued suffering. We almost lose patience with those who suffer. Just as we are somewhat slow to sympathize with a person chronically sick, we seem to hate people who are down and out and whom we have to help continuously. "The poor will always be in your midst," cautioned Moses the Lawgiver and we dare not refuse to give. In the question of Jewish relief we want those who will not give to remember that if Jews do not help, there will be little if any help for our people at all. This holds true of relief and of all problems affecting Jews. "I care not," is no longer even self-satisfying. There is no glory in indifference. There comes a time when we are lashed with the same whip. Indifference is infectious. It spreads like a contagious disease unless prevented. It eats into our vitals like a cancer. We should surround ourselves with every safeguard and the best preventive is participation in the sorrows of our fellows. ' This thought must be driven home not merely at this moment, but at all times. There are too many in our midst refusing to share the communal burden. They must be shamed—if that can be done—into helping to bear the common responsibility. An eight thousand dollar suite and one dollar for the helpless Jews of Europe! What a tragedy! We care for no one and one cares for us. God help us, for in that way lies the destruction of what we are pleased to call civilization.

boy students also, were taught how they were expected to behave in regard to sex. The girls replied that "the rabbis are harder on the boys than on the girls in this respect. They think the girls have a 'built-in sense of what's right' but they don't trust the boys as much."
