Pornography in Israel •;r.-.

"By i€ARl» MA'ERT
censprship or controls of any kind, in the name of democracy and freedom, the courts have begun to show impatience with the licence, and smut which are being peddled. There has been a crack-down on the sale of hard-core pornography books and of lurid posters which, one judge found, were intended to be erotieally stimulating, and completely devoid of any artistic value. • .« ' The counter protest is being heard and felt in many corners of the country. Despite anything you may have heard to the contrary, the kibbutzim ar,e strongholds of moral decency, and the left wing 'socialist' parties find the present rampant licentiousness repugnant. A Committee to Preserve the Sanctity of . Israel has been set up, and is conducting a national campaign for decency. Its primary back" ing comes from religious circles, but their program differs from what had been done previously in that they completely eschew violence of any kind. They seek to convince the public, by reason and suasion., that if Israel imitates the pornographic permissiveness w h i c h is prevalent in'other countries, the result will be moral corruption'and destruction of the fabric of our .unique civilization. Natan; Donevitz, certainly not a puritan, asks in his column in Ifaarctz if Israel will re main true to its mission of being a light unto the nations; or will permit itself to be dragged , down to the level of the others. If we. must imitate, why copy the worst attributes of other countries? ' ' If there are enough' people in Israel who care, among the educators, the humanists, the men and women of culture, perhaps the evil spirit from abroad may yet be contained.

Jewish Studies Offered at Drake University Des Moines—Through a gift from the Des Moines Jewish Welfare Federation, Drake University will offer studies in modern Hebrew and Hebrew Literature in Translation, in addition to regular Biblical Hebrew classes. The services of two highly qualified teachers have been obstained for these classes. Shlomo Benderly, a native of Israel, is a Certified Modern Hebrew Language Teacher. He came to Des Moines through the Federation Hebrew School. This is Mr. Benderly's second visit to the United States. Previously he taught at QbWlin College, where he started, their Modern Hebrew Language Program. Gary Epstein will teach the course, Hebrew Masterpieces in Translation, offered in English. He received his graduate training at the Yeshiva University of New York and N e w York University. He is presently teaching in the English Department at Iowa State University. His field of interest is Comparative Literature and his work has been in the areas of American, Yiddish and Hebrew literatures. ' Modern Beginning Hebrew (Hebrew 1, Section 301) will be

A meeting was held on May 24, for all women's organization Presidents to .discuss
coordination of programs for the coining year. It was decided that they will prepare their individual program schedules and submit them to the Women's Federation so that dates and duplication can be avoided.

DEATHS
Des Moines Committee Reports I feel that eventually the community will come to grips with the decision as soon as the Community Action Committee has made its recommendations and will finally go about raising the funds necessary for such a facility. Bricks and mortar do not make a program but tiiey add so many dimensions to programming for all our community, not just the Jewish Community Center. By including the Bureau of Jewish Education, the Jewish Social Service, the Jewish Welfare Federation Offices, permanent meeting rooms for B'nai Brith, ZOA, Madassah, BBYO and all other non-Synagogueaffiliated organizations in such a facility, we will truly have a Center of Jewish Life for the whole community. We also will establish a permanent address for the Jewish Community of Des Moines. I urge the Community Action Committee to push forward with all possible speed so that a Capital Funds drive can be initiated this fall if their recommendations for a facility are accepted. This community and its members who so many times have voiced their approval and
backing for a new Center facility deserve-the opportunity to seek the necessary funds for such a facility. *m< 1 urge all factions, both for and against, to become involved in the planning process now going on. Those of you who doubt the need or ability to accomplish this project come forth with alternatives or come with an open mind and listen to our reasons and figures developed to show the feasibility of accomplishing this task. There is no doubt in my mind today that if the total community will get behind this project and approach it with an open mind that we can prove the need, the desire of the people, and the benefits to be derived by building thi3 facility. By relinquishing the Chairmanship of the Center, I am "in no way giving up the fight. Unfortunately my children have grown up without the benefit of this new facility; let's not let another generation grow up While we wallow in indecision and oratory. Let 1973 go down as the year of Action and Positiveness.

THE JEWISI1 PRESS
Rabbi Raps 'Archie By BEN GALLOB A New York rabbi, evaluating the arguments of friends and foes of television's first portrayal of an unabashed big' ot in the widely-viewed "All In TheJFamily" program, lias asserted that its admirers are to_tally in the wrong. ' Rabbi Jerome K. Davidson of Temple Beth-El of Great Neck, described Archie Bunker as "a bigot, anti-Black, anti-Semitic, anti-Puerto Kican and anti-humanity," To Archie Bunker, the rabbi declared, "Negroes are spades, spooks, coons and' jungle b u n n i e s . Jews are Hebes, chosen people, yids or yentas. Chinese are Chinks, the 7 : Polish ,are dumb Polacks, and everybody else Is a commie, ^ pinko, pansy, bleeding heart, -"!"• meat-head, tamale eater, fairy, : fruit or fagot. As if Jesus himself needed Archie's approval, he tells us that "Jesus was a ' Jew only on his mother's rsjde.'" ' What Rabbi Davidson called < "the most perceptive favorable comment" be bad beard about - Archie Bunker came, he said, from Carroll O'Connor, who portrays Archie. He quoted • O'Connor as declaring that
"Archie's dilemma is coping with a world that is changing infront of him.' He doesn't know what to do except lose his temper, mouth his poisons, look elsewhere to fix the blame for his own discomfort.", O'Connor concluded (hat Archie would never get to the root of his problem "because the root of his problem is himself and he doesn't know it." JRabbi Davidson declared that what distressed him particularly was that "those who delight in presenting so honest a view of life cannot be equally honest and perceptive about the effect of'their work." He said that the program's producers, directors, authors and actors had several premises in defense of the program with which he profoundly disagreed.
Report Issued on Soviet Olim Jerusalem (JTA)—Some 85 percent of Soviet olim with university training find employment in their own fields and only 15 percent need to change their work, according to a report submitted to the Jewish Agency Board of Governors. Sixty-six per cent of Soviet olim over 18 years, old are, working within one year of allya, compared with 52 per cent of other olim. The report also stated that 77 per cent of Soviet olim are satisfied with jobs compared with 62 per cent of other olim and 53 per cent of the Soviet olim settled on the coastal plain, 38 per cent in development towns and 8 per cent in Jerusalem.
One of those premises, he ,said, was that "if you disguise 'bigotry, it's all right." He asserted that was the reason why Archie calls a Jew a "Hebe" and not a "kike" and a Black a "spade" and not a "nigger." The maxim is, the rabbi asserted, "Don't tell it like it is" . . . deodorize it, deterge Jt, bleach it, clean it up . . . that is the. essential'trick. Then everybody will love Archie and even the Hebes and coons and Polacks will laugh." The second premise, Rabbi Davidson asserted, is that "laughter makes it better." He cited a New York Times review which said of the program that "it is a step in the right direction to be able to laugh at our prejudices, for humor is an effective weapon." Rabbi Davidson commented that laughter "certainly is an effective weop-, on, especially when it is used against people/' The rabbi argued it was not possible "to combat prejudice or bigotry by laughing at a central character designed to evoke the sympathy of the audience." On the contrary, Rabbi Davidson argued, "by encouraging the viewer to identify or sympathize with Archie, derogatory name-calling receives sanction."
The third premise attacked by Rabbi Davidson was that the show is honest "because everyone has a litUe Archie Bunker in them." Rabbi David-* son called this "a dangerous lie" and cited the lines from a "South Pacific'1 song: "You've got to be taught to hate." He also charged it was "unspeakably immoral" to teach "impressionable children that they are not wanted in certain neighborhoods, that there is something that makes people laugh at them and look down on them and call them names."
/trchie was lovable "to the-bigots who w o u l d not light crosses" on the lawns of homes of Negroes moving into white neighborhoods "but only come to watch" because "lie has giv- -, en respectiability to what they think and say: he is their hero." Those who watch such_ acts with approval, the rabbi added, "provide the setting for Auschwitz and lynchings, for Kent State and de facto segregation . . . in schools and jobs and housing . . no matter what elegant words are chosen to make us believe otherwise." In a defense of the program, Arnold Hario wrote in lhe New. York Times magazine that "fif- , ty million Americans are being told week after week it does you no good to be a bigot. You end up where* you began . . . clinging to a world that no longer exists." Rabbi Davjdson retorted, "Dear, Mr. Hano, bigots do win. You, who are a selfidentified Jew, have a very bad . memory. And when they do . win, they .are not lovable and ** it is not funny." . - -•
The final premise, Rabbi Davidson declared, was that the program was just "a funny program about a lovable bigot." Tothis, the rabbi retorted that Archie's prejudices "are unbending, his mind is totally closed. He will do anything for money. He is insensitive and cruel. He never performs an act of charity, decency, compassion or understanding, much less love." He declared it might be that
