Holiday Messages from the JRahbis 'A Jew Has toDaven' By RABBI MVER KRIPKE, Beth El Synagogue, Omaha Isaac Loeb Peretz tells the story of Bercl the Tailor and his supereducated and supercilious son. The son comes back home to his native village prepared both to practice medicine and to violate ostentatiously all the sanctities of Judaism. ,t I n d e e d , he argues convincingly w i t h his father: "Is Cod l e s s sensitive than you?" "Of course not." —t'lf you • saw a poor w i d o w with many children, s o m e of them ill, with no income, and you were immensely Rabbi Kripke wealthy, w h a t would you do?" ' * "Help her, of course!" ~ ' , "You wouldn't wait for her to come pleading, groveling, begging?" "Heaven forbid! I'd help her immediately!" "Then do you suppose God needs you to come praying and entreating and pleading about all the problems of the world? And does he need you , to come saying, 'You great God, Revered, Merciful, 1 Compassionate, AU-Powerful, Ever-Loving? " . 1 . "Of course not . . . " • Berel mulled this over in his mind for a little bit and then added, "But after all, a Jew has to daven_"

'••.'•.

Peretz (who himself was not observant!) understood instinctively what is involved in a great deal of Jewish practice. It is not that God needs our prayers and entreaties nor our observance of Shabbat, the Holy Days, kashrut, the statutory prayer services. ~ . It is rather that Jews need rail these to sensitize themselves (o the demands that Judaism makes upon them. It is not that we make. God aware of the problems of war and peace, the Inhumanity of man to man, the ravages of Nature's destructive phenomena, the problems of nan's misuse of his own environment, the outrage of violence and crime, the.breakdown.of family living, the sullen stubbornness of large portions of the Jewish community, refusing to learn about Judaism, etc., etc., etc.- It Is far more important that Jews become aware of all this, that Jews become human beings and members of the Jewish people, sensitive to aU of these problems and others. It is for these reasons that we need to attach ouselves closely to Judaism: Precisely through our attachment to Judaism, we become more sensitive, human beings ; .>

The High Holy Days accord us opportunity, renewed afresh each year, for self-examination and repeated moral sentitivity training. • ' The first measure of that sensitivity should be to give up the disastrous practice of'once^ayear attachment. Our aim should be for regular repeated; consistent attachment to Judaism and nourishment from its sources. It is this that would give us a meaningful Ne% Year and meaningful new years, with happiness in God's blessing.

Speaking of 'Gaps1 By Rabbi Isaac N^doff Beth Israel Synagogue - In recent years, new expressions have been added to our daily speech—expressions which are a mirror of the times in which we live. "The Generat i o n G a p "— which is a state of estrangement between c h i 1dren and parents, a condition with very serious and farreaching consequences to family life and to our social structure. "The Credibility Gap" - in which trust between people is lost because of Rabbi Isaac Nadoff discrepancies between what we say and what we do, between our conviction and our practice. Our entire political structure is in jeopardy when the credibility of government authorities is, in question. . The High Holiday season calls our attention to yet another gap-the "Splrltnal Gap" with which we are afflicted. The "Spiritual Gap" is one in which our moral achievements lag so far behind our material and technological progress, that man's very future is in danger. It is to this condition that we must address ourselves at this season of the year. Man does' not live by bread alone. To neglect our higher needs, and to be unconcerned with our moral growth, will leave us spiritually starved. Man's greatness is to strive toward the:highest values of ethical perfection. Man in our day is spiritually infirm. While we have walked on the moon, we have not learned to walk the earth in love and harmony with our fellowman. • While we have conquered space, we have disfigured the planet on which we live and distorted the divine image in which we are created. We have not lived to our fullest spiritual capacity and have not attained the moral great-' ness of which we are capable.

Never on Sunday

THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON As a result, of the ingeunity The spirit of self-examination and moral rededication in oj the rabbis, the first day of which fellow citizens of the Jewish Faith across the country Rosh Hashanah can never fall observe the High Holy Days is one from which all of us can draw courage and inspiration. It is the spirit on which the . on $ Sunday, Wednesday' or greatness of the Jewish people has been built.

The High Holidays tell us that only by narrowing the spiritual gap will man find meaning and fulfillment in life. Only then will God's kingdom' be established on earth.

Are You a Space-Filler? By RABBI SIDNEY BROOKS Temple Israel, Omaha Each year I wonder about the New Year Greetings I am asked to write for the Jewish Press. Are these lines read by anybody? Or following a seemingly unbreakable habit, is this j u s t a spacefiller? Maybe it Is a good idea . -gar ^Wg^k ' -'• to have a few W Wa^m.' I

lines : from the Rabbi just to let those who have had no "asc"for a Rabbi during the year know that the Rabbi is still around! Frankly, I don't like to be a space-filled.

No-one ought to be. That's n o t j life ^ H r p ° S e ° f Kabbl Sidney Brooks Just taking tip space is sinful. Killing time is murder of the spirit. Because Vthe spirit of man -MS the lamp of God." And that suggests our potentiality for creativity, for thoughtfulness, for learning, for aspiration, for service and for all the things that make our time on earth meaningful. • Year after year I read with increasing scepticism the pleas, the urgings, the admonitions of rabbis including my own that this coming New Year must be.different in spirituality, in loyalty to Judaism, in regularity of worship in the synagogue. I do not believe that anyone has been convinced by these expressions of near despera. tion that Judaism will perish without a dramatic renewal of faith. I dont think it will. I thinkindeed I know—Judaism and the Jewish people wiU live. But I do warn, on what I believe to be s o l i 'historical grounds, that Individuals will be ' • « , confused, rootless; and even more overwhelmed by the swirling cross currents of contemporary mores and Indifference to the values of life, as they allow themselves to become just spacefillers. The High Holidays speak to us of the meaning of life and its possibilities for blessing—not from'God but from ourselves. It is the opportunity for everyone to seek love and compassion, knowledge and truth, to identify with the depths of Jewish experience and with a God that looks to each of us as a partner to make our days and years a chance to be more than just a spacefiller on earth.

Greetings Frpm McGovern Mrs. McGovern joins me in wishing our Jewish friends and Jews around the world a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

..'Traditionally, the High Holy Days have been a period for reflection and rededication. Jews have chosen the Days of Awe as a time for the individual to look at himself, to examine how he can better fulfill his responsibilities to his Maker and his fellow-man.: „ Rosh Hashanah thus symbolizes a reaffirmatlon of the values that have shaped the Jewish role within the world community. It marks a renewed commitment to the task of improving the world unto the Almighty. I join the Jewish community in the prayer that the New Year, 5733, will bring a time of peace, justice and brotherhood for all men.

U. S. Jews as Israelis See Them •"

By MURRAY ZUCKOFF Tel Aviv "Poor Jews in America? You miut be kidding," said a young Israeli journalist as she motioned toward tourists entering and emerging from a posh hotel la Tel Aviv. "Rich American Jews view Israel as their colony and Israelis as backward natives who • must be educated in the ways of a higher culture," said a taxi driver as he waited to pick ' up fares near the some hotel. "If there are poor'Jews in America how is that millions of dollars are contributed each year and each year more than the previous one?" asked an engineer as he dipped another piece of pittah into a plate oT humus during a garden party at the home of a sueessful businessman in a fashionable section of Tel Aviv. These expressions of- skepticism about the extent of, poverty among American Jews border on contempt for "those rich Jews from the United States," and are expressed in numerous ways by Israelis for whom poor Jews are invisible but for whom affluent Jews are an everyday phenomenon. Rich American Jews are not only, accepted as the only reality but some Israelis even in-

sinuate that American Jews who come to Israel as olim and claim to be poor are doing so only as a ploy to get either generous -assistance or sympathy or both. One Israeli official in Jerusalem noted that "many Israelis realize that there are poor Jews in America but prefer, for psychological reasons to believe otherwise, it sustains a feeling that somewhere out there they can rely on someone. As for their contempt, I suspect it's a little bit justified although highly overstated," Dina, a well-educated middle class sabra who writes a popular weekly column in a leading Hebrew daily, fixed her gaze on the tourists and said,. "Look at them. They flaunt f h e i r credit cards, jewelry, 'rented cars and expense accounts. The most expensive restaurants and gift shops are always filled with them. They spend more money in one day than most Israelis earn in a week." She refused to acknowledge that tourists—any tourists—are not a standard by which to judge the economic. level of a whole people; that many tourists scrimp and save for one* or two weeks of vacation; and that if one were to judge all

Israelis by the life style 'and spending habits of Israeli tourists in the U.S. one would have to conclude that there are no Israeli poor. Dina persisted, h o w e v e r "Olim fronl the United States seem always to have money to buy cars and apartments. Even your so-called poor American Jews who come here to settle get benefits, exemptions and subsidies that no Israeli can get. So even if they are poor in America they are rich here compared with-Israelis." Dov has been a taxi driver for some 10 years. He readily concedes that his contact with American Jews is limited to passengers who flag down his cab hi front of hotels or at Lod Airport. His gripe is not so much against American Jews because they are rich but'because "they look at us through their dollar; bills, treat us like poor relatives; give us advice on how we should live and codduct our affairs; tell us how much money they contributed to this or that organization and complain that we have failed to achieve.the standard of liv~ ing they're accustomed to." > This, says Dov, is irritating' enough. But what really raised the blood pressure of the average Israeli'is the almost constant whining about the absence of "(he kind of comforts they're used to back home." Arye, the engineer, 9 a Id: "For your^iqh American Jews Israel is the answer to a guilty conscience. Some became conscious Jews again for the first' time after the ^Six-Day War,, Why? Because 'they couldn'tface what they thought might be another holocaust. They felt guilty enough for not'having done anything or not enough to help Jews escape the first holpcause. So now they feel that Is' rael is their State. The hell with them," he said. "Israel is our State, the State we built, and protected with our bodies while they sat safely in their homes in New York and elsewhere." . But, he was asked, didn't contributions from American

Jews help b u i l d hospitals, schools, day care centers, universities? Yes, he replied. But the help American Jews give to Israel' is similar to the' help white liberals gave the Blacks in the South. The- liberals participated in sit-ins and marches but had the alternative of returning to "their homes in the North while the Blacks had no choice but to continue living ' amongst hostile neighbors and defending themselves after their liberal friends returned home. "Look," Arye said, "Israelis welcome the help received from American Jews. But we don't want to be told how to live—or die. We don't want their help

attached to a promissory note that we will not offend the goyim and embarrass the diaspora Jews in the process." This feeling, he added, is fairly common among many Israelis who prefer more than contributions and advice from afar. "Let them come and settle here and provide us with their skills a n.d know-how," Ayre said. "What good is money, even unlimited money, when we have a limited number of Jews to lay their lives on th«< line to defend Israel? My feeling is this: less advice and, more money, but better still, more aliya and less money as a sop to conscience."

Special Newcomers

Soviet Jews Reunited With Families in U.S. Two joyous family reunions Involving Soviet Jews took place last month. Vladimir and Rosa TrakenisU, their 19-year-old daughter, Arlna and their son, Iza, aged 17, arrived'in New York to be greeted by a large array of relatives and friends, including a cousin, Rabbi Alvin M. Poplack, spiritual leader of the Bellerose Jewish Center, Floral Park,, N.Y. Shortly thereafter, the new arrivals left to Los Angeles, where they have been reunited with Rabbi Zaban Trakeniski, 84, who was president of the Jewish community of Kaunas, Lithuania;, before the holocaust. ' While others succumbed in the dark days of Hitler, the Rabbi miraculously survived, as did, one of his children, Vladimir. In the post-war turmoil, the Rabbi, now.an American citizen,, found his way to the United States. His son, however, remained behind and lived with his family in Novo; Sibirsk. Vladimir has now migrated to the United States to rejoin the family that war had separated, thereby ending the Rabbi's long and lonely w^it.

Three sisters were reunited with a fourth with the arrival of Fedor and Helena Yunger and their three children. The entire family benefited from the U.S. Attorney General's parole authority, which he has agreed to invoke whenever necessary in behalf of Jews who receive permission to leave the Soviet Union. Mrs. Vunger's sisters are: Mrs. Cecilia Schreiber and Mrs. Yolan Klein, both of Boro Park, Brooklyn and Mrs. Serena Yozsef of Long Beach, N.Y., Mrs. Schreiber and Mrs. Yozsef mlgrated to this country in May 1970, to be followed- a year later by Mrs. Klein. The sisters now hope to complete the family reunion process by helping their brother to leave the Soviet Union. The family comes, from Beregova. United Hias Service, which handled all the details leading to these family reunions, advises that additional arrivals from the Soviet Union, as well as from other countries, are anticipated this month and will be resettled in Cleveland, Chicago, Philadelphia and NewYork City.

A Sioux City Family Makes Aliya to Israel By BERNARD SIIUMAN • Are you going to Israel forever? That was the question I heard time and time again after announcing to family, friends and acquaintances in our home town of Sioux City, Iowa, that the Bernard Shuman family was moving to Israel. I could only answer that "nothing is forever." Aren't you scared? The answer to that question was an unequivocal "yes." Here f was, one year shy of the half-century mark In age, quitting my job, selling my house and car, and packing up my wife and three children and moving 7,000 miles away to Israel. Although I admitted my fright, I was also rigid in my determination not to allow this fear to alter the course charted for me, my wife, Marion and our three children, Ellis, Debby and Judy. Crazy or Courageous? Some people responded to our plans with the comment that "you're crazy." Others admired our courage. I do not 'consider myself crazy; nor do I feel particularly courageous. Making aliya something that Marion and I had to do. I cannot pinpoint the precise moment, time or place when Marion and I decided to leave Sioux City. The 17 years of our married life had been lived to the fullest in this community of 100,000 persons. Ellis, Debby and Judy knew no other home. I. only know that the decision was suddenly there, a decision of enormous, proportions, a decision that spawned numerous smaller decislon&in its wake. ': ; Our Way of Life Somewhere in our past, Israel, the living land of the Bible, became pur way of life. I had never been an ardent Zionist, although I^arion's belief in the Jewish homeland dated back to her teenage years in St. Paul, Minn. We had never visited Israel, forced for the time being to bask in the warmth and purpose of this thriving nation through' the photographs and travel stories of friends who vacationed there. Then we watched with envy as four Sioux City families made aliya. ' . . , It is W turn now, but not because of the other Sioux Cityans who have preceded us. Each family made the decision independently. We arc going basically because of our personal commitment U> Judaism and the ultimate goal of bringing up our three children ip a total Jewish environment. And so1, we say goodbye to a steady, comfortable pattern 'of life in exchange for an uncertain, full-of-questions life. If this be an act ofjeourage, so be it. If it is crazy, so be it as well.

Sex Attitudes of Kibbutz Youth A research analyst reports that left-wing kibbutz youth are the most conservative when it comes to sex and intercourse. Michael Nathan dropped this bomb at the recent First-International Symposium on Sex Education held in Tel Aviv. Nathan, of the Oronim Kibbutz Research Center in Tivon, reported that youth in Kibbutz Artzi-Hashomer Hatzair (Mapam) are more conservative than those in the K i b b u t z Meuchad (Achdut Haavoda), and .the Meuchad youth are more conservative than those in Ihud (Mapai). Conversely, Nathan added, youngsters in Kibbutz Artzi receive more sex education than those in Meuchad, and those in Meuchad more than those in Ihud.

He is 82, completely blind but carries his six-foot frame erect and his years with dignity. She is warm, petite, and appears a good bit younger than her 91 years. Both emigrated from Romania to Israel 15 years ago and havebeen living for about 10 years at various JDC/Malben institutions for the aged. A year ago they met for the first time at the JDC/Malben Home In Acre. Last month they were married. Marco Haimovitch recalls, "I arrived in Israel in 1955, a .widower, sick and depressed. I can honestly say that JDC/Malben saved'my life. They restored me to "good health and equally important,.instilled in me a renewed faith in life and people. Meeting Hermina was the crowning touch." Hermina Steinberg, a widow, sums up their relationship. "I serve as Marco's eyes' and help him in a thousand ways. He provides me with the security and companionship I need. At our age this is enough." ' At the modest ceremony and reception, the other 50 residents, proposed a toast, "Until 120 years." JDC/Malben is supported by funds raised through the United Jewish Appeal.

tradition, they should welcome any project to aid the war on slums and poverty. But as middle-class apartment o w n e r s , they felt that the new development would threaten the nature of their neighborhood. Many protested bitterly. This protest was exploited by their enemies to try and show that the Jews were not really sincere in their support of Blacks. .; New Phenomenon Problems related, to Jewish youth in the Western w o r l d were eased as a result of the collapse of the New Left. But Jewish youth who had been activist on the far left did not return to an active Jewish identification. A new phenomenon was the "Jews for Jesus" movement which made a certain impact on marginal Jewish youthmany of them dropouts from the drug culture. Their elders saw this.as another passing Yad and expected it to-fade away like other way-out movements of the recent past. In the. meanwhile it has attracted an unexpected number of adherents. The Arab World In the Arab world, it has been the small Jewish community of Syria that has attracted most attention. Stories came out that they were "considered to be hostages" and that they "lived in constant fear of governmental .measures against them." Information was obtained about the" imprisonment and torture of Syrian Jews. The plight of Syrian Jewry evoked sympathy tic demonstrations by Jews in' many parts of the world as well: as the intervention of prominent non-Jews. Israel-Diaspora Relations Central to Israel-Diaspora relations was the 28th Zionist Congress. Although the press played up some of the more "sensational" aspects, it was the solid

continuation of Zionist work that was the real contribution of the Congress. Moreover* while some of the maneuvers of the young participants annoyed the older Zionists, there were those who found a healthy sign in the very care expressed by the youngsters concerning the future of the movement. Personalia ^ Turning to persona 1 i \ t w o Jews—Simon Kuznets an/TDenis Gabor—won Nobel JPrizes. Two Jews—Bruno Krefaky of Austria and Sir Joshua Hassan of Gibraltar-led their parties to. power in elections and headed t h e i r respective govern-

ments. Two Jews—Major-General Jacob and Rear-Admiral Samson—achieved m i l i t a r y prominence at the time of India's invasion of east Pakistan. Two films of Jewish interest— "Fiddler on the Roof" and "The Garden of the Finzi-Continis"— won Oscar awards and evoked international interest. Two halfJews, Boris Spassky and Bobby Fischer, contested the world chess championship amid unprecedented publicity. And in a year when Women's lib was in the news, Judaism had its first woman rabbi—Miss Sally Priesand who was ordained at the Reform Hebrew Union College inj Cincinnati.

Culture Shock for Newcomers

Take a Little Thing Like the 6 Day Week By RUTH SELIGMAN Culture shock is the term " sociologists use when describing the negative reactions often encountered on moving from one society to another. It happens to all sorts of people in all kinds of places. It happens on coming to Israel too. On the - surface, Israel appears to be a very civilized and relatively advanced co u n t r y. And in many areas of activity it is. We resemble the average "affluent" country with our modem supermarkets, shining gas stations,* large department stores with wall-to-wall carpeting and piped-in music, attractive offices and well-laid out luxuriously-gardened suburbs. And,' of course, the tourist

wandering in the luxurious lobbies of the Hilton or the Sheraton can forget what country he's in until he looks at his itinerary schedule. Differences There's a resemblance to the Western way of life. However, it's when you start coping with the minutiae of daily life that you discover the differences, the different behavior patterns which bring about c u l t u r e shock. Take a little thing like a 6day week. One day off, Saturday, may be taking the Biblical injunction literally—"Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work" but it's a shock to the system. When Sunday becomes Monday and Monday becomes

Tuesday, you can be out of kilter the whole month, losing track of the day and your senses. The feeliijg of surprise and •bewilderment at a strange and backward phenomenon such as the 6-day week are often followed by stronger feelings of hostility. The whole thing begins to seem—not just strange—but also bad, unpleasant, unhealthy or just plain idiotic. With the passage of time, as the unknown becomes familiar, as the newcomer begii.s to fathom the reasons behind the work week, attitudes and feelings change. He begins to realize that, in a country still fighting for its existence, a 5-day week may still be a luxury it can't afford. Slowly, t h e newcomer becomes accustomed to the ways . of Israel which still looks with favor upon the afternoon nap! At first, the newcomer is incredulous. The afternoon nap habit s t r i k e s him as odd. "Grown-up women taking naps in the afternoon? Busy lawyers and doctors lying down in the middle of the day?" He identifies naps with babies and invalids and thinks we're slackers or loafers. Yet, gradually as the fabric of life here unfolds he discovers that—when you get up between 6 and 6:30, when schools and offices open at 8, when social evenings start late (after 9) and end after midnight—you' have to sneak a nap in here or there occasionally—or collapse. In the end, many newcomers lind the snoozing in the afternoon ' a cultural pattern worth adopting. New Mores You need to know the mores of the land, not only just for mental peace of mind but also .in order to perform the simplest tasks of daily life. For instance, if you send flowers to a Mrs. Baruch Levy on the birth of her new son, the odds .are. good that they'll c i r c u l a t e throughout the entire hospital since the hospital clerk will be looking for Baruch Levy and he certainly isn't in the maternity ward. . . •'.. - In Israel married w o m e n never use their husband's first names. True equality of the sexes. If you'd addressed the card to Mrs. Edna Levy, she'd have received the flowers immediately. Culture; Shock in Reverse Incidentally, culture s h o c k can work in reverse.-1 literally stunned my .Israeli neighbors when they discovered that I was cooking and freezing my baby's food. • - . Israel has no locally-made baby food. I couldn't see myself cooking chicken and vegetable soup every day w h e n one month's supply could be done at one sitting. The baby survived in spite of dire predictions as to his future growth and existence. I became known as the "crazy American" until o few of my neighbors discovered the time-saving beauty of home-freezing their babies.' food. In black and white terms, what was strange was'wrong: when It became known and familiar, it was good. ••-• In brief, to the newcomer, the "new" can be traumatic But with time, with the growing sense of familiarity, the strange becomes familiar and order substitutes for confusion, understanding replaces irritation. • : ....,:....

Israeli Drivers: Israel's Worst Enemy By PETER DANIEL Tel Aviv — A macabre wit once suggested if the Arabs were really serious about defeating Israel they would stop dropping bombs and start dropping automobiles, and let the Israelis wipe themselves out. It is not as crazy as it sounds. Today Israeli drivers are among the world's worst highway killers. They are wiping themselves out faster on the roads than the Arabs have been able to do in battle. In the past five years 2,500 Israelis have died on the.country's relatively small mileage of highways. In the same period, Including the 700 toll in the 1967 Middle East War, Israel lost only 1,400 killed to Arab enemy action, Including civilla is. •

The problem has been around. a long time, as those figures prove, but precious little seems to have been done about it. The average Israeli driver blames an undiagnosed malady known as "Jewish nervousness," the country's narrow, overloaded and badly lighted roads, or, very often, the other Israeli driver. Most visitors to Israel blame Israeli drivers. A recent .visiting American traffic expert listed their main faults as: complete lack of lane discipline, endemic jumping- of red lights, tailgating. speeding, and (ailing to give the right of way. v

No Bull in Israel! •There will be no bull in Israel —bullfighting, that is. The Ramat Gan Municipal Council "recently rejected a proposal by impressarios to hold a bullfight in the Ramat Gan stadium. Representatives of a 'theatrical agency, which submitted the proposal, stated that they wanted to import bulls, bull fighters and an orchestra, and to hold summer performances in the stadium. A similar proposal in 1955 was rejected by the Cabinet a f t e r news of the proposal aroused public indignation.

According to police statistics there were nearly 15,000 traffic accidents in 1971, half of them caused by "dangerous driving." A police spokesman said tailgating, lack of lane discipline, speeding, and jumping traffic signals followed roughly in thai order. And all this despite the fact that unlike many other nations, Israel, a country of non-drinkers, has practically no drunken driving problem. There were only 42 recorded cases of drunks being involved in traffic accidents in 1971. There appears to be a laissez-faire attitude to what, statistically at least, is a bigger threat to Israeli life than Arab attacks. An ex-transport m i n i s t e r , noted for his aggressiveness in the air as a pilot and later air force commander, took over his ministry vowing to tackle the growing road toll. A month later, in an appeal to drivers, he noted he had been following the road code to the letter for the previous month and was surprised to find it was "not that much of a hardship." Nobody questioned how he drove previously. Patience is not a quality of the Israeli driver. In Tel Aviv, a standard joke, is that the definition of a split second is the time it takes an Israeli driver to start honking his horn, just before the signal changes from amber to green. (Horn honking, except in emergency, is banned in Tel Aviv). Closer to the truth than fiction Is the Israeli definition of traffic signals: green means go, amber means go like hell, and red means proceed with caution.

Omaha—The "average" newcomer to Omaha Is In bis late twenties. He came to Omaha at a result of a Job transfer, and while he wouldn't have chosen Omaha as a place to live before coming, lie now finds he likes the city and the people. This composite picture of the newcomer to Omaha was compiled from a survey conducted by the Jewish Press this summer. Questionnaires were sent to those who moved to Omaha dgring the past few years, and the questionnaires were followed by a series of personal Interviews. Of those replying to the questionnaire, M i n n e a p o l i s leads! as the- former home of most of the newcomers, with New York in the second spoU Geographically, they c o m e from as far away as South Africa, and as close as Lincoln, Nebraska.

as their individual interests and backgrounds, and all offer valid points of view. As part of the Jewish community "establishment," the Jewish Press is grateful to those who took the time to respond ot the survey. We appreciate the kind words voiced about the community, but more important, are the criticisms which were revealed. We-can't do things better unless we're made aware of what we are doing wrong. We can't do much about the weather, but there are some things we can do. Results of this survey will be shared with the appropriate Jewish leaders and tbc first goal will be to develop a better way of welcoming newcomers. Hopefully, It won't take too long, and newcomers who join our community in the months to come may find the weather cold, but the welcome very warm.

Omaha Has Its Own Lubavitche Rabbi Picture at right.

By Lynda Mirvish ' Omaha—Springs Is a smallish, gold mining city on the Witwatersrand in South Africa. Omaha, in the middle of the United States is an Agri-business center. About 9,000 miles 1 apart, these two cities are now 1 connected by family ties in • the form of Rabbi Boroch Garb and his family who recently moved to Omaha. Rabbi Garb was born in Springs and grew up in an orthodox home, part of • the dose-knit Jewish Community there. A member of B'nai Akiva, an orthodox youth movement, Rabbi Garb completed bis elementary school education I at a public school in his home town. He then amended Yeshiva College high school in nearby Johannesburg. From a family of Rabbis, , Rabbi Garb decided that he,

i ,

too, would study for the Rabbinate, and he chose to come to the United States to study at the Lubavitch Yeshivas in New York and Montreal where he obtained his "smicha" and was ordained as an Orthodox Rabbi.' ' As part of their creed, the Lubav itches travel the country and work toward bring Jews back to orthodoxy by building belief through learning. Although the members of the Lubavitch group arc f r e e agents, they are guided in all matters by their leader and teacher, the "Lubavitche Rebbe." The Lubavitche Rebbe suggested that Rabbi Garb study to become a "shoehetV (ritual slaughterer) after he was ordained. Rabbi Garb returned to Montreal for nine months to complete the study, and for 18

Gerald Marburg, age 3D, moved to Omaha in April, 1971, with his wife, Judith and their children, Lenore age 9 and Daniel, 5. The chief of personnel at VA ' hospital, Marburg had a choice of several cities and c h o s e Omaha although-be had never been here before. "We made the right choice," Marburg says now. "We were* optimistic about moving to Omaha from Baltimore, Maryland and have - found Omaha to be even better than what we hoped for." ' According to the Marburgs, the best part about Omaha is ' the people who they find to be "open and warm." They see Omaha as a "beautiful, clean city with a tolerable pace of living."^/ Affiliated with Temple Israel, Mr. Marburg has been involved with B'nai B'rith activr Hies and Mrs. M a r b u r g has been active with Pioneer Women.

They are making their home at 13415 Monclair Drive. The senior Marburgs find life in Omaha "much easier and more pleasant" than they expected. They miss some of the cultural opportunities they bad in New York, but agree that it Is a small price to pay. "Life here is certainly better in every other way." ; • Mr. Marburg is retired, but keeps busy with a variety of special interests, including an artistic sketching talent. .

As one of the largest stock yards in the U.- S. is situated in Omaha, his rabbi suggested that Rabbi Garb take up a position as shochet in Omaha, where he now- works. In.addition to his work, Rabbi Garb leads a group of orthodox men in the study of Talmud at Beth Israel Synagogue. He lias also started a small study group for women and is on the board of. directors of the New Hebrew Day School. His attractive wife, Rivkah, is from New York and studied at a Lubavitch Yeshiva day school there. "Would you believe that we met through a 'Shadcban' (marriage broker)?" she said. "We only saw each other three times before we became engaged, but," she added shyly, "he is a very persuasive talk' er!".The Garbs were married in a traitional Hassidic ceremoney "Just like in the movie 'Fiddler on the Roof—but no mixed dancing!" Although English - speaking, the Garbs speak Yiddish to their 2-year-old son, Sheneur. "He will need to know Yiddish if he is to study in a Yeshiva later on," his father said. "Besides, it is the only way to keep the langague alive." Rabbi Garb is concerned by the diminishing Jewish population in Omaha and would like to see a "Save (he Jews of Omaha" program started here. He told how Jewish communities in'Oregon and Pennsylvania have been revived and revitalized by an organized effort on the partof local'Jewish leaders to encourage businesses to seek out Jewish employes and to attract new Jewish families to settle in those communities. ,'• :;..-' .-.; The young rabbi is deeply involved in the founding of the new Jewish.Day S c h o o l in Omaha arid is very excited about the proposed program which will feature open classrooms and individualized Instruction. - : , "This is nothing new to a Ycsblva student," said Rabbi Garb; "The YesWvas have always bad this system, with students of all ages studying together.

A By CAPTAIN HARVEY B. COOPER I arrived in Omaha October 27, 1971. I had just returned from a year in Vietnam. I spent about t h r e e weeks in Philadelphia, with my parents and friends just before I came to Omaha. . My first contact with the city of Omaha was to drive through it to get to Offult AFB. 'A couple of days after I got here 1 called an old acquaintance who was assigned to Offutt. He had been here about two years. He showed me around town a bit, my first time away from the base. He introduced me to

Captain Harvey B. Cooper, age 25, was born in Philadelphia. He traveled half-way around the world before his military asignment brought him to Omaha in October, 1971. Omaha proved to be the' turning point in his life. It was here, through a Jewish Community Center related program, that he met the girl who was to become his wife. It is in Omaha that he plans to live following his separation from the Air Force in May, 1973. Based on his own personal experiences, Cooper presents some insights about Jewish military personnel and their problems in a new community In his own words, here is Captain Cooper's story. something more. I wanted to meet some people in the Omaha • Jewish Community. Newcomer's Problems A new person in town is faced with many problems. He knows no one in the community. He is at a loss to know where to reside in the community, where to shop, where to find educational and cultural, activities, etc It is rare that a member of the military is able to meet "natives" of the community. Usually I find myself surrounded by Air Force people at home as well as at work. What civilians you do meet generally "were not-born in the community, but are transient like yourself. Therefore Jt_ is hard to obtain a true image" of the community. It is distorted. It is generally difficult to break through your caste. Few people have the opportunity. I was one of the lucky ones.

eistitute Brought s to Omaha By Lynda Mirvlsh Omaha—A newcomer to. the Eppley Institute of Cancer Research at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, is Dr. Phillip Issenberg who moved to Omaha with his wife, Sandy, and then* four daughters in July, 1972. Dr. Issenberg, an internationally known expert in the chemistry of food flavors, and a researcher in the field of food toxicology and chemical carcinogenesis, has joined the group of scientists under Dr. Philippe Shubik who are involved in studies of cancer causing chemicals which affect* our internal and'external environment. Dr. Issenberg is a co-author* of a book "Flavor Researchprincipals and "Techniques." After a total of seventeen years spent at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology first as a student, where he obtained his Ph.D. degree In Food

Science and Technology, and later as a senior research' scientist, Dr. Issenberg made the move to Omaha because "the Eppley Institute is the f o r e m o s t institution in the country devoted to the study and measurement of cancer causing chemicals which occur in foods,. air and other factors affecting our lives," Dr. Issenberg said. .The Issenbergs-are delighted with Omaha. They enjoy the slower pace of life here compared with Boston. "We have been overwhelmed by t h e friendliness of the community here, both at work and in our neighborhood," said Phillip. Phillip lists photography and electronics as his hobbies. "Years ago I built my own'color TV set," he admitted. A native New Englander, too, this is the furthest west Sandy Issenberg has ever been. "I love Omaha," she said, "I was apprehensive about moving here at first, but the people

are so very friendly, and the life is so easy and relaxed. Jn' New England, people are afraid to go out after dark!" Married at eighteen, Sandy looks hardly older than her 13 year-old daughter. With all her children in school, Sandy has been very active in the P.T.A. and has worked as a volunteer teaching aide. With this move to Omaha, she is considering the possibility of realizing her ambition to go back to school and become a teacher.

'He Doesn't Look Jewish' By MICKEY GERELICK Omaha—As tbe saying goes, "he doesn't look Jewish," but John Love Is Jewish—and by choice rather than by birth. , Although he has been living In Omaha for several years, John and his family are "newcomers" to the Jewish community by way of conversion. Born in Monmouth, 111., 33 years ago to Protestant parents, John recalls that little importance was attached to religious training and observance during his'childhood years. His wife, JJnda, a Nebraska native, had a similar P r o t e s t a n t background. A little over two years ago, John, Linda and their son David, c o n v e r t e d to Judaism. Shortly thereafter their daughter Emily was born, and in accordance ' w i t h Jewish law, Emily was born Jewish, the daughter of a Jewish mother. According to John, his interest in Judaism began with his friendship with Carl Rosenberg. "At the time I met Cari," John said, "we really weren't practicing any religion. I felt it was important for children to have a religious background, and I was interested in what Carl told me ' about Judaism. Through Carl, .we met Rabbi Kripke and learned more about what Judaism had to offer." John sees Judaism "as a way of life that makes sense to me. The emphasis If on what you do, rather than air what you believe. The ethical teachings of Judaism are tbe guide lines by which I would like to live ray

L..-J John Love life," and represent the values I would like to pass on to my children," he said. A lengthy period of study followed John and Linda's decision to convert to. Judaism. The conversion included remarriage in the synagogue; the ritual at the Mikvah and the adoption of Hebrew names. While David attends Beth El Sunday School, John and Linda have not as yet becQme too involved in Jewish community life. .They attended some of th<S Cultural Committee classes last year, and attend Beth El Sabbath services "whenever possible." With no (race of bitterness, John notes that very IKUe effort has been made to integrate

bis family Into the Jewish social life of the community. "All our social contacts are the friends we had before we converted," he said. "We'd like to make some Jewish friends, but it's difficult to get started." The Loves recently moved to Fremont, Nebraska, to "get out of the rat race of city living." John is aware that the move presents s o m e problems in terms of "Jewish contacts" for his family. "I'll do whatever driving is necessary to see that David continues his religious education," John said, "and hopefully our move won't cause too many difficulties." Although they attended the model seder at Beth El, the Loves haven't conducted a seder at home as yet, "but look forward to doing so," John said. "We haven't done too much yet about ritual observances in our home, but all this will come with time. There are adjustments to make when a Protestant family turns Jewish," he said. "Discarding lifetime rituals and adopting new. ones can be a little touchy. David still remembers when he celebrated Christmas for instance, and the switch away from Christmas trees and all the rest takes delicate handling, but that's what we intend to do," he said. Associated w i t h Massachusetts General Lire Insnnmce Company, John bad some Jewish contacts before big conversion. "I'm amused," he said, "at the surprise some of those people show when they see me at Beth El. I guess I don't look Jewish, but I am—I really am."

It Takes One to Know One' By LYNDA MIRVISII

• Omaha—"It takes o n e to know one, a newcomer, that ' is." This could be the reason why Mrs. Phil (Rosalie) Grad, herself a newcomer to Omaha, volunteered to be included on the "Welcome to Newcomers" committee during the year 197172. Represent i n g the O^m a h a Federation of Jewish Women's Clubs, the Newcomers Committee was formed for the purpose of seeking out new Jewish residents in Omaha and introducing them to the organized Jewish life in Omaha. Other mem^bers of the 1971-72 welcoming committee i n c l u d e d Sylvia Btodkey, Judy Brodsky, Jan Katzman, C o r i n n e Solomon, Maxine Noodell and Sally Appel.

A friendly visit like this could result in an invitation to join the worker^ and her family for a Sabbath eve dinner or even for the Passover Seder," Mrs. Grad said. Plans fof the coming year include increasing the scope of the committee and extending its activities to Jewish personnel at Offutt Air Force Base. "A welcoming c o m m i t t e e cannot fill the void felt by the lonely newcomer,". said Mrs. Grad. "We can only show how a newcomer can become part of the Jewish life in the community.

It was reported that in New York City this past week, 57 murders were committed—an all time record and police analysts blamed it on the heat wave. "You take a poor guy," said tho analyst, "it's sweltering, he doesn't have air-conditioning, he's 'sitting oil the stoop, he has had a few beers, there's no place to go, he gets mad at something. Then of a sudden, it bursts out into the open. He grabs a knife." It's the poor general conditions that are chiefly responsible for this madness, but the hot weather has its part. You would think that by this time Congress would pass some law about it. Recently we had a great strom which arose in Canada. Or take the hurricanes, Alice, Beatrice, Catherine. Don't let the names fool you. They all came from outside of the United States. They are foreigners.

At,least it could demonstrate, Sit down and say they won|t move until a breeze blows. Sometimes, it must be granted, hot weather may be useful. God be thanked' that July 4, 1776 was a hot day. Young Thomas Jefferson coming to Philadelphia had bought a new thermometer and it showed that early in the morning on July 4 it was 78 and later on it was sweltering. To make matters worse, there was an invasion from a nearby stable of insects, who dined sumptuously on the legs of the founding fathers.. And on top of this, the delegates were faced by the prospect of a long debate whether they should or should not declare independence. Some more hot air! They couldn't stand the thought and quickly adopted the.Richard Henry Lee resolution for independence. If it had been less hot, or if they had air-conditioning, maybo we would still be drinking ale instead of coca cola, eh what?

Poland's Jewry Extinct • By Joseph Polakoff Warsaw's last synagogue is crumbling into a ruin in the shabbiest sector of the Polish capital. Adjoining it is a mostly abandoned four-story masonry building that once was a nursing home and hospital for aged and indigent Jews of preholocaust Warsaw. That also is disintegrating i n t o oblivion. And so is the bitterly t i n y remnant of Poland's OOO-ycarold Jewish community that only 33 years ago numbered more than three million—a population larger- than present-day Israel's.

Frenkiel, who is 57 and a mechanical engineer, spoko in Yiddish;, his wife in German. Both are survivors of concentration camps. Their homo is in Lodz. They commute frequently to Warsaw, 130 miles by road, to perform community business. The Frenklels pointed out that Poland has few Jewish adolescents. As soon as it is possible for Jews to transfer them to Israel or clsewhero they are moved out of Poland. The Frenkiels' own three children are in Israel. Minyans meet daily at tho Warsaw synagogue. On Saturday mornings about 80 attend. On the High Holidays it is crowded. Marriages and Bar Mitzvahs are rare. In most respects, the Polish •government closely follows the* Soviet policy toward Israel but since Jewry has been virtually eliminated in Poland it is less harsh on the few that remain. The fact that national community organizations are allowed is 'one element of contrast.

We Chose to Be Jews By PATRICIA ANN NEWGAARD Des Meines, Iowa I am a writer by 'desirej if not by talent. If money was my concern I would have to change my desire. I am- a mother and a wife to my pleasure. I am a Jew by choice. After eight years of marriage and'two children, what makes a man and woman decide to ^become Jewish? Being married and having children has a great deal to do with it. When you look at the crime rate, the drug problems, the new moral code, etc. you begin to look for the why of it all. You want to have the right answers for jour children as well as for yourself.We began to question, not our love of God, but if we were doing what he wanted us to do. We questioned original sin, Jesus dying for sins, Easter, Christmas and the. after-life. We found no absolutes in our religion and we were uneasy. This is how it all started. Like a seed planted firmly in the ground, we began to form small roots that would take us toward Judaism. After many trips to the library and. many deep talks, we decided to see the. Conservative rabbi. The rabbi asked us m a n y questions at that first meeting. He told us about the hardships of being Jewish. After our conversation, he invited us to come to the services and meet the people. We did go and we kept going. We learned more and we became more interested. We saw 'the rabbi on a regular basis

for study and began taking Hebrew lessons. Just before Passover we came' to. the last part of our studies for conversion. By then there were five •of us and I prayed that were worthy of such a great honor. There was a board of three men: our rabbi, the head of Jewish education in our city and the Cantor. They asked questions about the holidays and why we celebrated them. They "tested" us on the blessings in Hebrew and many other basic things that all Jews should know. When the rabbi told us we could proceed with our conversion ceremony, we were sub-^ merged in the Mikvah water.* First the two baby girls, then myself, my husband and our son, We said our blessings.and received our Hebrew names. I felt God could not bless us more than he had. by letting us become Jews, but he continues to bless us daily. His laws teach clearly how to live daily, and there is peace of mind in this' knowledge. Adjustments Through all this our parents felt left out and we have had many adjustments to make. When possible, we ask them to celebrate our holidays with us, such as Sukkot and Hanukkah. As we keep kosher, we ask them to our house for most, family socials. Sometimes we do eat at their homes, and they are very careful to serve meatless meals. Little by little, they are beginning to understand. I am 3 Jewisb mother. I am a Jewish wife. I am a Jewish writer. But first, I am a Jew. May God help me to live op to the responsibilities.

Nobody Votes in My Town By PETE SIMER 87776 As another Presidential election day approaches, probably never before was so much at stake in America. But nobody votes la my town and most of my 3,700 townsmen apparently are chronic misfits who couldn't c a r e lest. My town is "Jacktown"—Southern Michigan Prison, near Jackson. In the morning chow line,, a young murderer and a middleaged burglar seem ready to tangle in an argument on the merits of the Republican party. An alert guard breaks it up just in time. The burglar is serving his fifth term in my town. I know* him well. So, after he cools off, I needle him a bit, saying, "I take it you voted for Hubert Humphrey." "You klddin'?" he scowls. "Man, I never voted in my life. I got senseenough to know no matter who gets elected, the best any little guy's gonna getIs the worst of It. The hell with votin'!" That's seditious philosophy, Isn't it? "The hell with votin'!" means down with democracy, your country, your government and, consequently, every home' (where government really begins) in the land. Yet, I have been guilty of comparable "sedition." It came out disguised something like this: "Didn't get around to voting; had too many other things to do on election day." The reflection isn't easy to face, now that I have been stripped of my voting rights for many elections to come.

I begin to wonder how my neighbors feel about not being allowed to vote. Later, I question nearly 300 of them. Almost 90 per cent merely shrug or otherwise indicate lack of concern. Eighty individuals admit that they had never1 voted 1 Consider these three responses to: "Did yon vote regularly when you were free?" • Gambling syndicate underling (age 33, serving 5-10 years): "The organization always saw to it that I voted; even told me who and what to vote for." Alcoholic (age 47, doing 1-2 for non-support): "They'd let me off work in time to make it to the polls, all right. But I'd stop at a buddy's house to talk the election over. There'd be a bottle or two around. And somehow, before I considered all the issues and candidates and decided who'd get my vote, it was either too late or I was too loaded to care anymore.*1 Sex offender (age 39, serving l'A-10 years): "I never, voted

except in presidential elections. I voted for Dick because my name is Nixon, too." (Wouldn't it be interesting to know how many other votes are cast for similar, lackadaisical reasons?) What About You? Like many other sheer blessings in our full-fashioned freedom, the privilege of voting just can't completely be appreciated until it is lost. I know. So I must agree with the immigrant who said: "Most Americans can't ade q u a t e 1 y appreciate their system of government because they don't understand what it ain't." However, our Star Spangled Banner waves best when every thread is intact. Similarly, tho .government it represents needs every vote. But nobody votes In my town. Nobody may. What could be worse, patriotically? Your town, where every adult citizen may vote . . . and yon don't.

The Jew had a home. But long before Israel, the wandering Jew found a haven la America. The early Jewish immigrants responded well to the opportunities offered them in a land of freedom. They established roots in American cities; built businesses and became leaders in community life. Life was good, and more often than not, children followed in the path of their parents. Family businesses were handed down from father to ion. Many generations of American Jews never left the City of their birth.

Drug Carrying Artifacts Exhibited by Israeli Police By MARTIN ZUCKER Jerusalem—Yitzhak Delarosa is probably the only Israeli official with a crucifix hanging in bis office. But this is no ordinary crucifix. Similar in appearance to the many olive-wood crosses carved for tourists by the artisans of Bethlehem, this model was hollowed out In an abortive attempt to smuggle hashish out of the Holy Land. Capt. Delarosa, head of the Israeli Police Narcotics Bu-

reau, has cabinets and shelves full of curiosities used by amateur and professional smugglers. The gimicks include hoilowed-out books, candles, transistors, paintings, f l a s h l i g h t s and dolls. , Hashish, made from the resin of the cannabis p l a n t , is 10 times stronger than marijuana.

toray, Israel found itself astride the regional hashish t r a f f i c lanes. E a s t Jerusalem and Gaza are main trading centers. In these places, foreigners have found readily available, low-priced hash that yields over a thousand per cent profit if sold abroad. A pound (half-kilo) b o u g h t here for 80 dollars will market "at about $1,500 In the United States and Europe, according to Delarosa. But the purchase price here is climbing, he noted, because better organized police efforts are making it more difficult to smuggle the drugs in or out. „ About 850 foreigners h a v e been apprehended in the last two years by Israeli police. Among'them were nearly 400 Americans. Despite the increasing effectiveness of the police here and a cheaper price tag for hashish in Lebanon, traffic is still brisk . in the Holy Land. One oft - heard explanation, Delarosa related, was that in considering the risks, the smugglers took into account the relatively better'jail conditions in Israel than in the Arab states. The props used in the smugglers' ploys reveal genuine creativity. Last year a Finnish girl hobbled through Lod International Airport in a neck-to-thigh plaster cast. A kindly policewoman waved her past customs, but became s u s p i c i o u s when the girl straightened up once she was on the tarmac and walking at a smart clip toward her airliner. Inside the cast, police found plastic bags of hashish worth 5,000 dollars abroad. An Israeli ring was recently caught red-handed packing 200 pounds (about 100 kilos) of hash into shock absorbers that were to be exported. Another group unsuccessfully t r i e d it with scrap iron Two American youths tried to smuggle 30 pounds (about 14 kilos) home, inside a pair of loudspeakers. An American woman tried to leave Israel with a pack of hashish undor her wig. Others have hidden it in brassieres. A shipment of abstract sculptures by a well-known Israeli artist was stopped at the airport. Inside the hollow obpects d'art, a fortune's worth of dope was discovered. - "It all goes to show," said one police officer, "how clever the smuggling attempts must be that we n e v e r find out about."

ing with youngsters h a v i n g learning deficiencies attended the seminar which included video tapes of the youngsters in action, and special children escorting small groups in tours of the camp. A highlight was the performance of a scene from "Fiddler on the Roof" with the youngsters vocally belting out with no sign of shyness and a touch of Broadway flair,—while in another area, a comparably talented class was adroitly executing, an. Israeli Ilora led by an Israeli counselor. On a d a i l y basis, Tikvah youngsters are fully integrated, with the Camp Raman 'peers, on the basis of chronological age. The Ilatnah youth c o a c h , train, and assist their "special" brothers and sisters' on a regular schedule in areas of religious learning and ritual. Mealtime they merge as one dinner party. Edya Arzt who, with her husband Rabbi David Arzt of Baldwin, N. Y.,,help guide the project, observed the confidence that is being built in the Tikvah youth. "Recognition of their individuality, respect for their preference, appreciation for t h e i r small success are spurs to further achievements." A Ramah youth whose hobby is photography selected a "special" girt as his model, she offered as a vivid example: "her p h o t o s abound all over the camp." Erasing a heritage of stigma by which the "special" adolescent has been victimized is as basic at Tikvah as teacliing of Creation and the a-b-c's of ritual observance. Parents were given a three and a half day clinic session at the close of the camp season in preparation for continuing at home the basic instructions the youngsters have garnered in holiday observance, prayer and ritual. They are urged not to yield to apathy or despair but to work with enthusiasm for the progress of which their young are capable. Another feature that is a favorite of the group is the freeexchanging "Roundtable" discussions with leadership where the young can "spell'out" problems or questions that puzzle them and will receive an honest reply. One often asked query is: "Why did God make me less a person than others?" The reply: "You've not completed growing yet. There's still time for you to change. . ." Tikvah means hope . . . and these young know it. -*

What Is This Thing Called Zionism? By RABBI ISRAEL MILLER President, American Zionist ' Federation We are today in Zionism's 75th_ year, and among Jews throughout the .World there are still disputes and differences of what Zionism is all about. What makes one a Zionist, and what eliminates one from being considered a Zionist? The controversy broke out again this past January in Jerusalem where over 500 delegates and some 2,000 Jews from 44 countries gathered for the 28th World Zionist Congress. The passage of a controversial resolution — subsequently invalidated as unconstitutional —that would impose sanctions on Western Zionist leaders who do not emigrate to Israel within, two years brought, the question to the fore very sharply. Press reports told of bitter de-' bates and fractious wrangling. The Broader View : Many Israeli Zionists insist N that aliyah (emigration to Is-

rael) is the foremost obligation of, Zionism and that Jewsabroad who are not ready to fulfill this^commitment are not really Zionists and should be dropped from Zionist leadership. The majority of the non-Israeli delegates and observers at the Congress, while accepting aliyah as a prime Zionist responsibility, take the broader view of Zionism as essentially an educational movement dedicated to both Israel's wellbeing and the creative contiuuity of Jewish life. . Zionism's challenge now is to effect a rapprochement between those impatient, and occasionally insensitive, Israelis and .the older, dedicated, and sometimes complacent, veteran Zionist leadership. The complexities of Jewish life both in Israel and the diaspora preclude simplistic and rigid definitions and render sanctions and strictures useless and divi• sive.

Zionism is now undergoing a profound and far-reaching reexamination of its definition and priorities. This readiness to debate meaning and approach has always characterized Zionism. Seventy-five years ago in Basle, Switzerland, Theodor Herzl convened the first Zionist Congress to set forth his program for attaining an incredible goal: the end of exile and the return of the Jewish people to its. historic homeland. Herzl gave a political dimension to a centuries-old aspiration and from its inception the Zionist movement' has harbored a wide range of political and religious and social philosophies. Never /monolithic, a l w a y s democratic, Zionism has found • strength in diversity. As a specific political movement it achieved, unparalleled success in establishing the independent state of Israel. As a broad philosophy of Jewish existence, Zionism is the authentic expression of universal Jewish identification, concern and solidarity. After the Holocaust It was Zionism that mobilized resistance to the Nazis and then gave new life to the surviving remnant of European Jewry. The deep anxiety and outpouring of support for Israel by Jews all over the world in May and June 1967, was a manifestation of a collective Zionist consciousness. . Zionism" somehow kept alive the identity of the isolated and oppressed masses of Russian Jews in the Stalinist period. Today, it is Zionism that gives the Jews of the Soviet Union the courage to defy harassment and imprisonment by demanding the right to emigrate to Israel. ; :. -, The Jerusalem Program In America, where; Jewish roots go back more than 300 years, many young Jews are recognizing Zionism as the liberation movement of the Jewish people. In its teaching they find a critique and guide "to social change.

A View of'Affirmative Action'

By MRS, HENRY RAPAPORT ' President, National Women's League of the United Synagogue of America Federal Executive Orders, beginning in 19G5, have asked that "affirmative action" be taken "in good faith" by college admission officers and industry hirers to bring about equal rights for women, Blacks and other minorities. Numerical "goals" were to be set for each group that had suffered discrimination. This principle of percentage representation has caught the American Jewish community in an anguished, unhappy dilemma—between Us desire to alleviate the suffering of the dlsadvantoged, and its concern that this kind of affirmative ac-, tlon seriously threatens the economic future of many Jews. On the important issue of college admissions, the implications are serious for the Jewish community since over 70 per cent of college-age youth are in institutions of higher learning, which is higher than the overall national rate. Under the present system and trends, it is not surprising tli.'t cases of unjust reverse d.-crlmination are being re-

ported on many fronts. At campuses of the City University of New York, freshmenwere asked to fill out forms containing questions on ethnic origin. These forms have been construed as the basis for a would-be ethnic census upon which a quota system would be constructed. Candidates f o r medical schools are also now asked to give ethnic identification on an AMA-sponsorcd form. Promotions, demotions' ,or firings can be and arc at issue; this is particularly insidious when longtime, older employes are involved. In San Francisco, the Board of Education had to demote 89 educators during a budget cut. Those demoted were all white administrators with tenure; no minority ad: ministrators were demoted although only two had tenure. The government order's state that "goals" pursued in "good faith" are what it is after. Still, with government officers set to visit those who..do not."comply" (which eerily recalls George Orwell's warning of a repressive society in which Big Brother watches'you), It's no wonder that fear sets in and goals tend to become quotas.

Responsibility falls h e a v y upon the administrator or executive who must make the decision, whether it be in the area of 'education or employment, * and his decision cannot be separated wholly from bis political outlook. This is an unfair burden upon him and upon the person whose fate is being decided. How does one temper the principle of affirmative action with the possibilities of discrimination in reverse and new injustices. Nonetheless, affirmative action as a principle should be upheld, provided with proper procedures and safeguards: (1) Seeking qualified applicants from minority groups— and where they do not exist, establishing the proper courses and training programs so that they can become qualified. (2) Government-funding of u n i v e r s it y-level programs which should be enriched to parallel regular college courses and similar support for apprentice programs in industry. (3) Elimination of all forms of bias from applications and job hiring practices. (4) Re-examination of job standards to ascertain their continuing relevancy; in certain situations, for example, a - Black teacher with a 75 per cent academic average may.be better qualified in a school requiring Black empathy, than a / white teacher with^anJlO.pcr' cent average. (5) The zealous'protection of the merit and civil service sys: terns with their provisions for • tenure and other employe safeguards—for there is nothing incompatible-in the long run between such safeguards and our concern, for minority groups. The major weakness and; danger of the HEW guidelines, picked up and interpreted at the local levels, where "goals" tend to be translated as quotas, Is that they lead almost Inevitably to the ouster or exclusion of qualified persons many of whom have spent the better part of a lifetime in their jobs, and the hiring of not fully qualified persons, thus doing damage to the entire com-~~ jnnnlty. For some Americans, to be sure, this appears to be a small price for tho community to pay to help those who have been deprived of equal opportunity. To them, instant' atonement appears to be a valid policy. But to the majority of Amer« l e a n s , , I n c l u d i n g American Jews, when the entire community suffers because of the harmful effects of such a policy—and when qualified or tenured people ate dangerously affected by this reverse discrimination—we m u s t find a better way, to' amend the wrongs of past generations.
