Post Office Hit 9by ^Matzah Misery Washington (JTA) — Postal authorities said on March 28 they had "disposed of" matzos sent to the Soviet Embassy for Jews in the Soviet Union and refused by the Embassy. Alfred Huffer, communications-officer for metropolitan Washington, said that on authorization from the national level of the Postal Service, the matzos were removed from the basement of the main Post Office and "disposed of like any perishable material." Huffer declined to name the authorizing officers or describe the process of disposition. Robert C.

A spokesman for Sen. Harrison A. Williams, Jr. (D.-N.J.) told the JTA that the legislator had asked the Postal Service for a "full explanation" of why the m a t z o was "destroyed Rep. Joshua Eilberg (D. Pa.) has called for an investigation of the action by the Post Office. "The d e s t r u c t i o n of the matzo should not have occurred at this time," Eilberg said. "The American people should know why it was done, who ordered it and for what reasons." -

Tanya Is Waiting Early in March Omaha Jewry announced a pledge to raise 1660,000 more than was raised in the Israel Emergency Fund Campaign in 1971 to pay for the settlement of 100 Soviet Jews in Israel. The announcement was made in the Jewish Press in reply to a symbolic appeal from a Russian child. "I'd litre to grow up as a Jewish girl," wrote 10-year-old Tanya. "That could happen in Israel, but it costs a lot of money. : Does anybody In Omaha care about my family that much?" We assured Tanya that we care and that we would raise the money to bring her family of four and 96 other Soviet Jews to a new. life in Israel. "We will keep oar promise," we said as we" began the 1972 Omaha Jewish Philanthropies Campaign. There have been heart-warming results during the first stage of the campaign. Many have shown by their pledges that they, do care. They have responded as Jews must respond when another Jew needs help. But we have yet to reach our goal. Sadly, there are some who refuse to accept their share of .the responsibility. A large number are still to be heard from. We appeal to those who are now being contacted for their campaign pledges. Remember our commitment to 100 Soviet Jews. We can't keep our promise to them without your help. Tanya is waiting. Her future depends on what you do when your campaign worker comes to call.
Black My slims: Cause for Concern? .
By BORIS SMOLAR Concern is felt in leading Jewish circles over the growing menace to American Jewry on the part of the Black. Muslims. Jewish leaders consider the Black Muslims potentially a greater danger to Jews today' than when it first came to public attention a decade ago. This is because this fanatic organ. ization—though l o o k e d upon with dl3favor by the major Black civil rights-groups—remains strong and influential. Its potential in the Black community is growing, and so is its anti-Semitic propaganda. What worries Jewish leaders most, is the overt anti-Semitism and pathological hatred of Israel which the Black* Muslims spread as part of its dogma. This anti-Jewish propaganda penetrates the Black ghettos.through a multitude of effective devices. The movement has a s s e t s valued at $20,000,000. Its weekly publication "Muhammcd Speaks" has a. sworn paid circulation of about 530,000. It cpnducts weekly radio broad* casts carried over 70 radio stations In GO cities, and It has approximately 50 Mosques located In every major city. ANTI-SEMITIC INFECTION: . The Black Muslim movement is today a monolithic organization, with its members taking orders without questions from their "leader," the 75-year-old Elijah Muhammad, who proclaimed, himself as Mesesnger of Allah. He preaches hatred of all whites, but his inflammatory anti-Israel material is easily translated by his followers into hatred of American Jews. In addition to violent antiIsrael and anti-Zionist articles, the propaganda material of the Black Muslims also indulges in Nazi-like overt onll-Semlflsm. It iropeafs frequently old sterreqtypes reminiscent of the Nazi propaganda. Jf6WB are
By Carl Alpert , Haifa—The Women's Lib movement does not seem to be making much headway in Israel, despite repeated attempts by someardent advocates of the cause. One effort was made on the political front. Shocked by the sudden realization that there are only 8 women*in the 120member Knesset, as against 12 in the previous Knesset, some women took to the barricades. Furthermore, in the last national convention of the influential Histadruth women accounted for only 8.7% of the Alpert delegates—and this in a socialist movement which prides itself on egalitarianism. • . . The conclusion: a resounding call for the establishment of a women's political party in Israel which ..would afford this under-privi- ' ileged,50% of the people their rightful representation. "Let's take things into our own hands," cried Yaffa Yankelevitz.' . The call fell on deaf ears. In the meantime,~the m o v e m e n t was launched on another front. Dr. Masha Friedman, lecturer in philosophy at Haifa University, gathered about her a group of some twenty women who raised the flag of Women's Liberation. "V A new call was issued to "the downtrodden, enslaved women of Israel". Dr. Friedman de- , scribed the victimization io which the* Israeli woman Is subjected: she Is slave to home and family. She Is. the Iaundrywoman, cook, shop-, per and the one who picks the family socks off the floor. The plight of the modern woman leads to psychoses and is the reason why women have hysteria and nervous breakdowns. In practical action, the scream was reduced

to a whimpering request to Haifa University to provide nurseries to care for the children of married students while they were at class. "Women! Women! Women!" proclaimed the bold headlines of large ads in the Hebrew press. Women's Lib? No, this was an appeal to the ladies to "help meet the labor shortage: "You are needed in the labor market because of the all-around shortage of hands.' You can help. If you will take a job, you will aid the national economy, receive an income to raise your family's standards, and get a new element of personal satisfaction in your life . . . Your country needs you!" the appeal closes with patriotic fervor. : The results have not been conspicuous. The women point out that they have to hire someone to take care of their children, and so long as this is not considered an expense which may be deducted for income- tax purposes, it's not worth their while. "We might as .well stay home and take care of our own kids", they say. The ensuing public discussion did.uncover one strange inequality. The present law prohibits the employment of the "weaker" sex at night, except by very special permission. But the night shifts are the ones that pay much better, and so the women are'.excluded from these opportunities. •••-•,'••.•,•,'' One of the crusaders of. the movement to equalize women's rights is the-fiery' attorney and former Knesset member, "Shulamit Aloni. However, even she admits, that ^social equality" can sometimes lead.to:strange results, like that of the hospital nurse; umnarried.and without children, who demanded and was granted a 3-raonth "maternity' leave" from her job, so that she would have the same privileges as N her married colleagues.. And in all the talk ~ol Women's Lib, women's enslavement and unequal rights, one voice is not heard—that of Israel's Prime Minister.
publications have done in the past.

The problem of course is that there Is no way of objectively reporting on "What it means to be Jewish." You can't tell it, you have to feel it. While Time tells us again that American Jews are richer, betted educated, more involved in professions than other ethnic groups — some gut feelings of what it means to be Jewish, are missing - from the article. ,; ' In spite of our apparent affluence and acceptance in American society, a Jew never really forgets his past. That's why I had some strange feelings this week when I read about Ku Klux Klan activities In Florida; the Wallace .votes In the Wisconsin Primary; and a celebration being planned in
Philadelphia on April 23 to h o n o r the 83rd birthday of Adolph Hitler! These news items and what they may : mean were not touched in the Time yarticle; but being Jewish means having a special sensitivity to them. According t<r the Time cover' note, the article was 'compiled by three top staff writers; a Catholic, a Protestant and a Catholic in the process of converting to Judaism. I don't question their, journalistic abilities; ' but obviously they were licked from the start. Even a Jew can't explain, what it means to be Jewish. Some things are beyond explanation or analysis, and being Jewish is one of them. . Perhaps Time should, .try their talents on a center-fold, at least there they have a chance.
