To Tell the Truth:
What Is the REAL Jewish History? By MAX I. DIMONT For all too long Jewish history has been buried under an accumulation of schmaltz and ©l-ol-ol—that is, platitudes and lamentations. Christians have distorted the Jewish past with so many pious frauds, and Jews have smothered it with so much pious mythology, that it has become difficult today for laymen as well as scholars to perceive its real grandeur. During the Middle Ages, it became fashionable in church circles to downgrade Jewish history in order to ennoble the Christian view of things. Thus Jewish history was reduced by the C h r i s t i a n s to a minor, meaningless footnote. In ghetto circles it became fashionable to count dead Jews, in order to enhance Jewish suffering. Thus Jewish history was induced by the Jews to a meaningless, boring dirge. With the period of the Ger. man enlightment, in the nineteenth century, so-called scientific Judaism was born. A more apt, phrase would be "public relations" Judaism. In their eagerness to portray the Jews to the Christians as nice, tolerant, taxpaying citizens, most of these reform Jewish scholars . b e g a n to suppress anything they thought was unfavorable .to the Jews.

T h e Jews blandly slough off the fall of Jerusalem as a punishment for imagined sins. The Christians portray the fall of Jerusalem as an event come true according to Gospel prophecy, as a punishment for not recognizing Jesus. Instead of indulging in Jewish lamentations or perpetuating Christian post-mortem prophies, why not assess what happened in history with the aid of modern historical insights.

Bob Feinberg Receives Hebrew University Honor Omaha—Robert Mv Feinberg was invested "as an .Honorary Fellow" of Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the first Omahan to receive the honor in the 46-year history of the university. The Fellowship certificate was presented to Mr. Feinberg by Bernard Cherrick, executive vice-president of Hebrew University, More than 200 people witnessed the presentation at a dinner Wednesday'at the Omaha Hilton Hotel. Mr. Cherrick referred to Mrj Feinberg as "symbolic of the kind of men who respond to a challenge." Ho noted that Mr. Feinberg gave generously to many causes, both at home and in Israel. "But Bob Feinberg is more than a philanthropist," said Cherrick. "He is a Zionist as well; with a positive understanding of Jewish history and Jewish destiny. He has identified himself with the needs of Israel, and through his efforts has focused the attention of many on the needs and contributions of Hebrew University." • Mr. Cherrick noted that this week the Jewish calendar records the fifth anniversary of the conclusion of the 6 Day War) "Five years after the war Israel stands strong, firm and determined to overcome the economic, political and military problems she faces," he said. "We have been forced to stand alone, and we are able to hold our own.. The unification of Jerusalem 5 years ago is the symbol and reality of what we stand for." Cherrick explained the pre-academic program of Hebrew University as "a special program to prepare students from disadvantaged backgrounds for university study. "In Israel,"
Robert Feinberg and Bernard Cherrick, vicepresident of Hebrew U. ho said, "we do not lower the standards to accommodate the disadvantaged. We try to raise the level of the students to meet the standards." An endowment fund in Mr. Feinberg's honor has been established at Hebrew Unj- s versity to aid with the pre-academic program. According to Mr. Cherrick, 1,000 students are j involved in the program this year, and the' projection is for 2,000 students in the program { within the next two years.

Ebon to Visit Austria
Pill-Popping Israelis
Jerusalem (JTA)—Foreign Minister A b b a Eban has accepted an invitation to visit Austria. The invitation was extended by Dr. Rudolph Kirchschlaeger, the first Foreign. Minister of Austria to visit Israel. L Questioned by reporters, Dr. Kirchschlaeger said- he favored the punishment of Nazi War criminals but that as Foreign Minister did not want to interfere with the courts. The visit of the Austrian diplomat occasioned complaints that Austria lags in the punishment of Nazi criminals and has failed to make just compensation to the Jewish citizens for the losses they suffered under Nazi rule. In Haifa- Dr. S. Schoenblum, president of the World Association of Austrian Jews, charged that Austrian Jews were "step-children" among all survivors of Nazism. He said the Foreign Minister's Visit should be the occasion to raise the question of Austrian Jews' compensation.
Tel-Aviv (ZINS)-Kupat Holim (Sick Fund) members, who constitute 72 per cent'of Israel's population, consume over 60 m i l l i o n pills a year. This works out to an average of more than one medication per day for each member. The average Kupat Holim subscriber uses 20 medical prescriptions a year compared to. 13 for Austria, 12 for France, 4.7 for the U.S.A. and 3.5 for England. Dr. Fritz Dreifuss, head of the Department of Internal Medicine at Tel-Aviv's Ichilov Hospital, warned of the danger of excessive consumption of drugsrin' the treatment of every minor ache or pain.
Convention Against Hijacking Jerusalem (JTA)—Israel became one of the first countries to ratify the Montreal convention against aerial hijacking. The Cabinet approved the convention at its regular meeting this week. So far 61 nations have subscribed to the convention. It will become valid under international law as soon as it is ratified by 10 nations.
Synagogue Vandalized Rome (JTA)—Police are investigating the vandalization of the 18th century Goriza Synagogue, which,was broken into and severely damaged by the unidentified persons. The synagogue, built in 1749, was forced open and robbed of priceless archives and historic documents. The Holy Ark was smashed and Torah scrolls and sacred books were torn and scattered.
Jewish Women's New York (JTA)-The Jewish religion and social strueVJii ture, which has been male, dominated for more than five thousand years, needs a measure of Women's Liberation philosophy, according to a young woman who expects to be ordained as a rabbi. Mrs. Sandy Eisenberg Sasso, a third-year student at the Re' constructionist Rabbinical College, Temple University, Philadelphia, made her remarks in the course of conducting a study session at the 66th Annual Meeting of the American Jewish Committee. "There Js an urgent need to balance t h e pre-dominantly masculine perspective in Judaism, with a feminine counter part, especially in regard to religious ceremonies, litur. gy and the creative arts," Mrs. Sasso declared. Among her suggestions for • liturgical modifications, s h e urged changes in the marriage
Conversion Controversy Boston (JTA)—A renewed drive by Israeli religious parties to reinstitute halachic conversions were scored here by a Reform leader.as "a political power play" and "an attempt to divide Jewish life."
Target of Suggestions • . ^0 SP ceremony that would "create a mutuality of obligation, rather than the one-sided sense of man's 'ownership' of wdman, and the double-standard it implies." She also recommended the development of "a ceremony that would welcome the birth of a girl, in some way a counterpart of all the ceremonies that now surround the birth of a Jewish boy." "And she deplored the fact that most Jewish 'art "depicts men - in all sorts of attitudes—performing the Hasidic dances poring over Talmudic texts, teaching young boys—while "the only act in which women are depicted is the lighting of Sabbath candles." Equality "Although women have enjoyed a significant position in Judaism, to. state that their status is merely different but equal to men is to ignore the facts," Mrs. Sasso declared.
Rabbi Alexander M. Schiridler, vice-president of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, warned of impending political pressure by tbxwe parties for a reversal of the 1970 revision recognizing non-Orthodox conversions. • "Let no one be deluded here by pious references to halacha," Rabbi Schindler said. "Halacha is not at stake here but a franchise, the extension of monopoly, political power." But he stressed that he was,not criticizing Orthodox Jewry—only the Israeli rabbinate. '

JDL Invades : Austrian Embassy
• Stressing the.fact that she was not. recommending a total renunciation of women's traditional role, Mrs. Sasso stated: "If a woman chooses, after surveying all the other possibilities, to remain in the home and be a wife, mother,' housekeeper, she should be able to make that choice, but she should not be limited to it. The Jewish woman should have an equal opportunity with the man in all fields and should be made to feel that she can participate in them." ; Mrs. Sasso, whoso husband is also a rabbinical student, declared that throughout Jewish history "there have been rampant apologetics and rationalizations that have kept women from full participation in Jewish life by;, if not consciously recognizing, at least inertially maintaining their inferiority."

Vote-Hunters' Woo Russian Immigrants r
on the outcome of the 1973 elections in Israel and the composition of the Knesset and Cabinet. And so, despite half-hearted appeals from various parties to "lay off" and let the newcomers find their places gradually on the Israel scene, most of the parties are busily at . work to rally their loyalties^-. The religious bloc has found greatest encouragement in the numbers of immigrants from Russian Georgia. They are an unexpected source of devoted, orthodox Jews who make it clear from the moment of arrival, where their ' interests lie. The Labor Party called a big rally of Russian immigrants in Tel Aviv, and all the top leadership of the party was on hand io make : an impression. But one of the Russians voiced a widespread opinion when he said very simply: "We love Golda, but not the Socialist Labor Party."

The auditorium was jam-packed with residents, their families and members of the ; organization that over the years has never lessened'its activities on behalf of the Home residents. In fact, movies taken at just' such an occasion 20 years ago at the Home were shown Sunday. The delightful program included songs by Leonard DePorte and music by tho Neighborhood Combo composed of the Wasserman and Potash grandchildren of Mrs. Ida Potash. The strudel made by Bikur Cholim members was a hit, and although weary from a great deal of work, the happy smile on the face of Bikur Cholim president Mary Wine indicated the day had been another successful one in a long history Of outstanding events at the Home. The LOVE program is evidently becoming well known around town with professionals in the field of working with,the elderly. According to Dave Orkow, director of the Home, he was recently asked for more details about the LOVE program at a meeting of the Safety Committee of Homes for the Elderly . . .and told by one of the directors that the LOVE program is one of the best of its kind in town. .

Who tyitf be the' hext Youth Group _ to Volunteer LOVE? . ;j: Movies were big on the calendar May 3 when 12 residents saw "Fiddler on the Roof" in the afternoon and that evening also enjoyed the Home's Wednesday Night at the Movies. ! An interesting sidelight to the movies—since the'beginning, of daylight saving time April 30, the residents have moved the time of their evening services to a later hour. However, on Wednesday night, hi order not to have to wait to see the movie— they have "Mincha" before the movie . . . a n d "Ma'ariv" services after! There's been a lot of gallavanting lately . . . to the Hadassah ' m e e t i n g . . . to the Beth El Sisterhood style show and installation . . . and to the Senior Citizens meeting at the Center. Each group -of Residents was accompanied by a LOVE volunteer. The 92nd birthday of Home Resident Aaron Korney was the < occasion of many contributions to the Love Program by Home Residents . . . friends . . . and family. A party, arid much happiness on the part of Mr.' Korney, highlighted the very, very special birthday for "Grandpa Moses" as he is known to those who have been the recipients of his original art.

MY MICHAEL-Amos Oz When this book first appeared in Israel in 1968, it was praised for its literary achievement, criticized for its disquieting social and political implications, and sold more than 40,000 copies—a spectacular best seller in a country where the Hebrew-reading population is under a million. Hanah Gonen is a young woman, a Jew—cultured, compli-. cated, intense—-married. to a decent, unimaginative man—"My Michael," with whom she leads a life that satisfies her less and less. A BIAS OF REFLECTIONS-Confessions of an Incipient Old Jew Nathan Permutter Long associated with the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, Nathan Perlmutter is now vice-president of Brandeis University. A Bias of Reflections is his "commentary about being Jewish, about being middle aged, about the liberal political tradition in which my generation grew up." MY HOME IS SOMEPLACE FAR AWAY—Bonnie Trust Dahan The young. They inarch. They riot. They escape into drugs and let their hair grow and embrace the cultish and the shrill and the silent and the just far out. Bonnie Trust is not one of them. She i s a bright, conventional, attractive Jewish girl from Pittsburgh. She came to New York and went to work in the communications industry. She assumed she'd find a bright, attractive husband and enjoy life among the bright, attractive Media "People. Now, at 24, her autobiography tells a Very different story. For even Bonnie, the square product of square Pittsburgh, could no longer stomach America's nhoney values. TRADITION AND PEALITY—Nathan Rotenstreicn In the early 19th century, as Jews throughout Western Europe acquired political and legal status, European thought currents began to erode the dependence of Jewish intellectuals oh their religious and historical tradition. This erosion was fostered by a movement of Jewish intellectuals in Germany who put religious tradition in the role the historian had reserved for the records of his civilization; that is, as keys to understanding what has been and might be, but not necessarily as guides to what should be. In this volume, the third book in the Contemporary Jewish Civilization Series,'Nathan Rotenstreich examines the t r e n d s of thought (the Science of Judaism). ISRAEL—One Land, Two Peoples—Harry B. Ellis The State of Israel, though small in area, is today the focal point of world-wide concern. In this important book Harry B. Ellis tells Oie story of the Jews and they- "Promised Land" from the time of Abraham and the periods of exile and return, to the 'remarkable development of modern Israel. He also discusses , Arab claimstothe same, land, dating back to the Arab conquest 1 of Palestine in the seventh century A.D. Clearly, objectively, and with rare command of two seemingly irreconcilable points of view, the author traces the roots of this critical conflict from ancient times to the present.

A newjranslation with introduction and commentary by Delbert R. Hillers. The Anchor Bible is a new translation of the Bible, published book by book, each with a full intrduction, notes to the text, and commentary..Lamentations is volume 7A in the series, translated and edited by Delbert R. Hillers, W. W. Spence Professor of Semitic Languages in the Department of Near Eastern Studies;'Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. •" THfi ROMAN SIEGE OF JERUSALEM-Rupert Fdrneaux In 66 A.D. the people of Jerusalem rose up against their Roman oppressors in one of the most stirring and significant revolutions ever to take place. In the next four years the great city was reduced to rubble, and 'the courses of Judaism and Christianity ..were,dramatically altered. Recently guided through the city by Israieli'varchepl6gists, who have discovered for the first time in eighteen 'eeriturtes the locations of embattlements, the progress of the fighting from wall to wall, street to street, historian Rupert Furneaux captures here the sweep of the drama—the plots, intrigues',' betrayals which encircle and shaped it. BAR-KOKHBA—Yigacl Yadln The rediscovery of the legendary hero of the. second Jewish Revolt against Rome. Out of a crevice in a canyon near the Dead Sea, where it had lain for almost two thousand years, came a woman's bag. Out of the bag came a. fragile batch of papyrus inside which were wrapped/our wooden slats. And as the excited arcneologists stared incredulously at the strips of wood, one name blazed at them—Bar-Kokhba.
