Israelis Demolish Terrorist Hideout TEL AVIV (JTA)-Israeli sappers totally demolished a luxurious villa in the Rimal quarter of Gaza that had.been used as a hideout by three terrorists killed in a clash with Israeli forces last Friday. Dr. R a s h ad Mousmar, a prominent Gaza physician who Israel claims owned the villa, is under detention and faces .charges of sheltering terrorists. His family was permitted to remove valuables and furnishings from the building before it was destroyed. Israeli officials noted that the demolition of premises used to shelter terrorists was sanctioned not only by Israeli law but by the Egyptian law introduced into the Gaza Strip In 1948 and by the laws of the British mandatory regime in Palestine before that. Israeli sappers destroyed the building in stages, using'small-explosive charges. The operation took two hours. Care was taken not to damage adjacent buildings.

Sidelines I hope ypu will take the time to read the supplement which is included in this week's Jewish P r e s s . I know there are Eome who will g l a n c e at it, quickly decide that it is "just a n o t h e r UJA pitch," and toss it aside. These people have my sympathy. In their desire to Gerelick s h i e l d themselves from responsibility, they also toss aside the opportunity • to be part of the Jewish experience. With few words and dramatic pictures, the supplement highlights 25 years of Israel, and.in so doing, touches upon the totality of Jewish history. There are those who may be able to read it with no feelings of identity. These people have nothing to fear from "the UJA pitch." They won't be touched.

Friday, Msrch 16, IMS

By Mickey Gerelick

Their dollars will be secure because they've managed to stop feeling as Jews. For those who read it and experience the pride, the concern and the commitment to be part of the continuing drama, then the "UJA pitch" becomes a welcomed opportunity to express that commitment. I've been around long enough to know the realities of Philanthropies campaigns. M o s t of what happens during a campaign is a source of pride for me. . Every year there are people who willingly accept the responsibility for leadership and the great expenditure of time and energy required to do the job. .They do it because they care about Jewish survival. Every year there are those who volunteer to serve in the army of workers who carry the campaign to the community. They do' it because Jewish survival requires the efforts of every Jew. Every year there arc those' who demonstrate by their gifts the real meaning of Jewish philanthropy. They do it bec a u s e they understand that when Jewish survival is at stake, dollars arc a very small price to pay.

And sadly, every year there is an awareness of a small minority in the Jewish community who have lost the commitment to Jewish survival. They see the campaign only in terms of what they are askr/J to give. They fail to understand what they get by giving. As we enter another campaign y e a r , there really is nothing. new about the cam- * paign story. Israel, Soviet Jewry, local needs—you've heard it all before. Most of you will welcome your campaign worker when he comes to call. Most of you will sign your pledge cards with your hearts—doing what Jews always do when their help is needed. Most of you will know that you get more than you give by being a participant in a Philanthropies campaign. And for the few who will try to escape the campaign worker or try to rationalize giving less than they should, I would urge a little soul searching. You can fool the campaign worker and in so doing save some dollars—but what are you losing in the process? Read the supplement, perhaps it will help you understand.

New Light on Purim Is Purim, the Jewish holiday (which falls on March 18 this year), truly a religious holiday? Are its origins truly Jewish? The highlight of Purim is the reading of the f roll of Esther, but the story has always seemed suspiciously nor religious. Prayers in the Scroll are never addressed to God in t a hours of need, and no mention is made of thanksgiving .to God fter the salvation of the Jews. Indeed, references to God had to be read into the Scroll of Esther by rabbis of the Talmud. Moreover, according to recent research reported In the Encyclopaedia Judaica, the non-Jewish—if not un-Jewish—character of the narrative can be explained by the fact that the heroes of the original story were not Jews. "The book, while it may be ultimately based on actual events . . . contains two originally independent plots derived from oriental romance: one plot of harem intrigue of which Esther is the heroine and another of court intrigue of which Mordecai is the hero." The names Mordecai. and E^sther^ incidentally, show a striking resemblance to the Babylonian gods Marduk and Ishtar. "Having heard stories of the struggles of a Jewish courtier and of a Jewish queen against an evil vizier, the author apparently combined the two plots." He "invented his story to explain an already, existing festival . . . of mock ritual combat between 'our side' and 'their side' celebrated for two days in the capital and one day in the countryside, followed by a day of pleasure Similar festivals are well known in the ancient world. On these days, stories such as those which eventually contributed to Esther were told for the pleasure of the celebrants." "Purim" is derived from the Akkadian "puru," meaning lots. According to the Book of Esther the Purim feast was instituted by Mordecai to celebrate the deliverance of the Jews from Haman's plot to kill them. Hainan, the Persian King Ahasuerus' favorite, cast lots in order to determine the month in which to slaughter the Jews. ••• ~ • Whatever the origin, the festival of Purim has been, observed by-Jews for 2,000 years as a symbol of hope and encouragement for oppressed people everywhere, bidding them not to despair in the face of persecution and danger. It's a story that warrants retelling. Happy Purim!

Junior High Is the Right Tinie

Hi'

By BRUCE VANN and LARRY KELBERG The editorial in last week's teen section was both disconcertIng and disheartening to read. The article said that it was sad to Bee that junior high students have been offered-the opportunity to form friendship and special interest groups. • The reasoning behind this opinion seems to come from the fact that many high schoolers have become alienated from all, the Jewish organizations that have been made available to them. The editorial stated that this inactivity is a product of a combination of factors, the foremost being that high schoolers are tired and bored with each other. We question this conclusion. The true source of high school apathy is the fault of the indivlddals thmselves, and it does not take a psychiatrist to come up with a few possible causes. One conclusion has been intertwined with the lack of junior bigb activity that was available to.our present high school group when they were in junior high. When our peer group finally reached high school and was afforded the opportunity of joining Jewish organizations two serious pitfalls trapped many: the expectation of belonging to a club far outweighed the enjoyment of becoming a member; and the lack of contact between Jewish youth of different schools and synagogues caused some to join a group with youth they were totally unsulted for. Either way, many dropped out of their organizations. By next year the new Jewish Community Center will be completed and all of the new resources .that will be available must be used to capture the imagination of the Junior high students .and offer them theeopportunity to meet, the other members ot *J}Pi? •$W^<#9*c^ ^ e <i w n $iiH 1 ^'^ 1 * * rom *heir.high school J

University Chorus to Perform Bloch Choral Work at Beth El 'Omaha — The U n i v e r s i t y Chorus of University of Nebraska at Omaha, will perform the Sacred S e r v i c e (Avodat Hakodesh) by Ernest Bloch on Friday evening, March 23, following the regular Friday evening services at Beth El Synagogue. The Chorus will be directed by John L. Bolirer, Choral Director. William GilInsky will appear as soloist and Michael Broderick will be the accompanist. The s e r v i c e , composed by Ernest Bloch in 1934 to the Sabbath morning liturgy, has been performed n u m e r o u s times

both as service and in concert. In recent years Leonard Bernstein made it a practice for the New York Philharmonic to perform the service annually. The work has been recorded by the New York Philharmonic under Bernstein with Robert Merrill as soloist. One of the distinct features of the work is Bloch's use and unique harmonization of authentic Jewish modes. The Avodat Hakodesh has b e e n hailed as one of the great examples of Jewish choral music of the century.
