ual Success Story By CARL ALPERT Haifa—She is perhaps the most prolific newspaperwoman in Israel today. The Jerusalem Post alone has published more than 200 tOf her articles. Thousands of readers follow her human interest reportage with avid interest. And very, very few know that Leah Levavl Is completely blind. ' Hers is a success story of a ' most unusual kind, but she would resent being singled out for attention only because she is sightless. Vihejf a British v magazine published one of her articles and added after the jbyline that.'.'LeahLevavi' is Alpert blind'' she was'-furious, and , vowed never to submit another manuscript to Uiat paper. Leah is in her mid-twenties. She was blind at birth in New York, but as far back as she can remember always insisted on living a nor-' mal life. She never'went to a school for the. blind. When her classmates went out for hikes and picnics, she insisted on going along, She got her university degree at Columbia in Journallstn and Business Administration, went off io Washington and> gp$ $ iftb^th the United State? Government.' ' • *"" ' To spend the rest of her.life at a government desk? Not for Leah. She had become interested In Israel, and sought information on life there. The Jewish, Agency and all who deal with immigration did everything to discourage her. What would a blind girl,.alone, be able to do in Israel? .-., •, •,-,.-: _,_•,. She applied herself to the study of Hebrew, and in January, 1970, came to Israel. The first months were not easy. Her parents had consented to the move, thinking that when she found the going too difficult she would come back. Instead, Leah learned her way around
>/
the streets of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. In the cruciblu of daily use she mastered Hebrew. She was nimble on the typewriter; she knew Braille. She had a creative mind. She was a natural extrovert. Her manuscripts began to descend on editors' desks, and made an impression. She specialized in interviews with personalities in the fields of social services, Arab affairs, institutional life. And because she could not see, her articles were not cluttered tip with unnecessary visual observations. She always dealt with essentials, reaching the essence of the issues. with a skilled hand. ' The difficult days are over. "I'm definitely making my own living," Leah told me. "When my mother came to visit last week, I took her out to dinner—on my account," she laughed. She has now returned to another love, study of the Arabip'ljjijguage, and hopes to spend more time^writing aboul Arabs and their problems ,,','..',..'.,,",'... ' Why had she come' to Israel in the first place? Her parents had,rieyer been particularly Jewish or religious,, but when she began to come under Christian" influences in her public school, her parents decided to send her to an afternoon Talmud Torah. There, by chance, she. first heard about a man-who had said: "If you will it. it, is no dream.", That seemed like an ideal slogn/i for her, and, she followed Theodor Herd's advice to its logical conclusion.

The End of the War
We are grateful that the bloodletting has abated and that sundered families will be united, yet this is not a time for rejoicing but for contrition. . The death and desolation caused by the war has achieved no rational political or military purpose. All that was achieved was the deepest division this nation has ever suffered since the Civil War. All that was achieved has been the deterioration of the nation's moral influence In the world. All this cannot be papered over with rhetoric or even with trips to China and Russia. Nothing, short of an honest confrontation bf conscience by the nation and its leaders with the,magnitude of the violence we un• leashed can bring about the redeeming hour for America. This is a time for penitence, compassion, restitution and acts of forgiveness. To go on and say that scores have been settled arid a book of history has been closed would be blind and dangerous. Whether there exists the moral leadership for such a moment isdoubtful." Rabbi David Polish I . . . . .......... ,y._. President, CCAR j

ing an Israeli, 1 still share very directly. But the first and major element is the Hebrew language. What about Jewish writers' who do not write in Hebrew?^ How do you feel about our American Jewish writers? Oz: I read as much of their work as I can, and I'm absolutely aware of the fact that they have different lines of: communication with the Jewish past and heritage: through a sense of paradox. I think of Saul Bellow in the first place. I've r e a d others—Malamud, Philip Roth, Bruce Jay Friedman. What I see in their work is a very sharp sense of paradox. What they have in common is Jewish dread. • ' • Moral sensitivity is obviously significant. I'm not claiming that Hebrew is the only way to be linked with the Jewish'heritage: What I do sayis'that the Hebrew language is'my link.

Omaha^-Amos Oz, Israeli author of the best selling novel "My Michael" will speak in Omaha Wednesday, February 14 at 8 p.m. at Beth Israel Synagogue, 52nd St. Mr. Oz will speak under the sponsorship of the Jewish- Cultural Committee of Omaha. A critic of the Israeli establishment, Amos Oz has been a member of Kibbutz Hulda for 18 of his 33 years. His recent novel deals with the break up of a marriage as told "by the wife of geologist Michael. The novel is regarded as a literary work of major significance. In "Conversation with Amos Oz" by Lily Edelman published in the JB'nai B'rithSeptember 1972 issue of "The National Jewish Monthly" Oz makes the following comments. •What for you is the special Jewish component of your writing? Is it Jewish, is it Israeli, is it universal? : Oz: It's probably more than any one thing, but in the first place it's1 Hebrew. Not Jewish in the first place, not Israeli in the first place," but Hebrew.. One writes in a language the way a sculptor sculpts in stone, the; way a painter paints with colors. I live with the language, which is not only a mountain,a hill of words, it's a whole philosophy, an attitude toward life, an attitude of mind, a tradition, a whole complex of experiences, i n s p i r a t i o n s and traumas. The whole tribe, the whole spirit of the whole tribe, for generations' a n d generations, is in the language. My tie to Judaism, to the Jewish past, * to the Jewish inheritance, is the Hebrew language. I could add to this probably certain Jewish experiences which, be-
