There are lo many reasons for my belief that the 1875 •Philanthropies Campaign must be the most successful ever. II begins with (he knowledge that Jews are "One People." i'And Jews all over the world need the help of other Jews. The |iray that we can best help Is by providing money. And the fact Is, HJ learn what Is happening In other parts of the world, ours Is IhCMsiesttask. ^ As a woman, I perhaps Identify more readily with Individual 'crisis than with general problems. I Identify with the Russian woman who is physically quite comfortable. She has a home as 'nice as her non-Jewish nelgtitmr.

BjrJoaegbPalahitf WASHINGTON (JTA) "An historic understanding in the area of human ri^ita," acconUng to Sea Heniy M. Jackaon (D. Wash.). "A great tribute to the deep moral feeling of our country," asserted Sen. Jacob K. Javlts (R. NY). -It has cleared the way for humanity and human right," declared Rep. Charles A. Vanik (D.Ohio). These were among the statements from leaders in the two-year Congressional fight for legislation tying SovietAmerican trade with Soviet emigration practices. Making public Friday the
letters of agreement between himself and Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, Jackson said ttie formula achieved was "a Joint effort of give and take by our side and the President and the Secretary of State." Terming the formula "historic In the fact that an agreement on human rigbta was worked out In a trade agreement," Jackaon said the AdminlatraUon-Congressknal accord wu "true bipartisanship" that "the American people expect of us." Jackson lauded his Senate colleagues and Vanik and Rep. Wilbur Mills (D. Ark.) who Introduced (he Jackson-
MUIs-Vanlk resolutkm In the House. Vanik obtained the 289 coiponsors in the House that led to its four to one victory last December. President Ford "deserves great credit," Jackson said, "as does" Kissinger. Javlta, lauding Jackson's "brilliant initiative," also praised the "extraordinary statesmanship" of Ford and Kissinger. The Soviet assurances on emigration that Kissinger outlined to Jackson in their exchange of letters form a test of' Soviet inlentk>ns in its relations with the United States, according to Jackson and Javlta.

I don't know how to Identify with Uie women In Syria. Their total lack of freedom, their total deprivation Is beyond my Imagining.

" Sen. Henry M. Jackaon (D. iWaah.), In making public ^tklay the texU of two letters iftetween himself and ISacrstary of State Henry A plaalBgar on the Soviet liasurances regarding Emigration practices, ?>'benceforlh" Ihoutfil that the
trade bill wiU be legislated by CongresahiDec. The Senate Finance Committee, he expects, will present the measure to the Senate shortly after it returns Nov. IS from Its reelectkm recess. After enactment there, the bUl wUI go to the Senate House conference where the language of the two brandies on the bill as a whole, including the Jackaoo-MUIsVanlk measure linking Soviet emigratkm with U.S. trade beneflta and crediU, will be made lo conform and then y(M t^ both diambers.
"The key element of detente in all Its manlfestallons is the good faith performance of this agreement," Javlts said at the White House. The assurances, he observed, have cleared the way to the new legislation on trade that will help detente but "not at the expense of human rights." According to Jackson, the formula represents "a definite change" in the Soviet view of human rights that "Is worth trying. The historic significance of this effort," he said, is that "it has never been done before. They said It couldn't be done. I felt It could be done because we had the bargaining chips."

Decline of Jewish Community and Births Are Among American Judaism's Problems By BORIS 8MCH.AR The Council of Jewlah Federations and Welfare Funds, which Is constantly holding Its fhiger on the pulse of Jewish conununal needs, isperturtied. It sees contemporary Jewish life In this country facing a number of critical developments that may well determine whether we enter vlably into the 2Ut century. Expression of this mood was given by the director of the CJFWF's Community Planning Department, David Zeff, at a gathering of
Jewish communal workers. The current and growing malaise In the American Jewish community, he stressed. Is not a dimly perceived apprehenston, but rather an already existing and troubling fact of life.

OMAHA - A campaign lo protest the decision of the United Nations General Assembly giving official status to the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) has been urged by Ernest Wintroub, chairman of the Community Relations Committee of the Jewish Federation of Omaha. The PLO was seated by a vote of lOM - with only the United States, Israel, Bolivia and the Dominican Republic voting against. There were 20 abstentions. In a statement, Wintroub echoed the words of Theodore R. Mann, chairman of the Commission on International Community Relations Concerns, who said the decision "Is shacking in its hypocrisy and chillingly ominous In Its implk:ationi. "The decision mocks nxraitty, Houti Inteniaftaul IAW flod cuuUafBoas ttw U. N. dnrlsr. It ghw wcogiMcn and atatua to a band ol murderous terrorists whose •wwtd atai are at odds with the aoak of the U. N. and wtaoM Mia are abirannt to Uw moit aienenlary ctMeal ooooqita," Ham italtd. Of the vote Itadf, Mann sakl, "A craner, more cynical abdication of moral responsibility, human decency and regard for International law can scarcely be imagined." He noted that PLO leader Dr. Nabil Shaath vowed that violence would continue inskle Israel. Wintroub urged area residents to first send roessagei of commendation to Prestdent Ford, U. S. Ambassador Scall and Secretary of «ute Kissinger on the Integrity shown by our delegation in votbig agahist the resolitflon. Addremes are: President Gerald R.

Fifty per cent of our younger married heads of households have parents who, themselves, are second and third generation American Jews. The shtetl, Uie Hokxaust, the creatkM of the SUte of Israel are not part of their life experiences. Their link to Judaism Is based merely on indlvlduai sentiments and not on collective Impulse. They are totally ignorant of the riches of the Jewish past. The Council of Jewish Federatkma and Welfare Funds stands ready to face up to the ImpllcatkMis of the emerging soctological shape and characteristics of the new American Jew. But it becomes more and more obvkNis that the intellectual contenU of the life of the American Jew — to serve as link between him and the Jewish past — needs much strengthening.

UBUke ki Ow ade ta Babyfcm, where rwt Jmrlih mkidi produced Ihe Talmudttw impact of «Wdi li Mt to ttUs day -no JewWi acbolan ef thai caUber emerged amoog ttwajOMNJOTilBiirisooiBiry. We have not produced anything like the magnificent pdeU and philosophers of the Golden Age in Spain, such as Yehuda Halevi, the Rambam. Ibn Ezra and others, the intellectual creations of whom are an Inspiration even now. Nor has American Jewry produced anyone like the great Talmudists ol ancient generatkiai in Prance and Germany, or In Poland untU the Holocaust. Today we have no Jewish leaders of Uie type of Louis Marshall, Jacob Schiff, Felix Warburg and Stephen S. Wise who dominated Jewish life In this country only a generation ago. Mr. Marshall, an Amrlcan bom In a seml-
avimllated atmoaphere, went In his thirst for Jewish knowledge even to tlie extent of studying to read Yiddish. Most of our Ij^aders of today suffer fom Jewish Inteliectttkl medkKracy. Their direction is Uierefo^ limited mostly to fund-ralalng and not to the strengthening of Jewish sdmlarly traditions. Ilils Is to a great extent the root of the malaise which Uie American Jewish community begins to feel. But the outlook is that Jewish fund-raising also will not be ttie same In another 15 years.

With a cloudy fund-raising future and with (tie danger of a possible decrease in government funds — on which an increasing number of Jewish agencies in this country depend, in part at least - the leaders of the Jewish organizations and communal Institutions will henceforth have lo make harder decisions than ever before. Fundamental changes have already taken place in the American Jewish community but more are expected to come. At present Uie lane of Israel commands Uie first attentkm of American Jewry. Leaders of Jewish Federatkms, who are largely nonZionists, are provkUng uncritical adherence lo Israel's policies. The shifting and forbidding intematkmal scene hardly permits American Jewry not to be passkmately concerned over the fate of Israel. However, questtons are beginning to pop up over Uie suppresskm of Uie Reform and ConaervaUve religious movements in Israel, as well as over the fact Uiat nurrlage and divorce problems are entirely In Uie hands of Ui^ OrUiodox rabbinate; also over other Internal Issues In which some American Jewish leaders, while being strongly pro-Israel, feel that their aentlments In matters affecting Jewish culture and reilgkm should be taken Into account by Israel. The laoue of "real partnerhslp" between Israel and American Jewry would have come lo Uie forefront openly had not Uie Yom Kuppur War necessitated Uie complete unification of all elements In American Jewry behind Israel. Tbm linie is, however, bound to emerge when Uie Intematkmal sltutatkm concerning Israel wUI become calm. AtUtudes wiUi regard lo this problem are being formulated now by important American Jewish organizations, all of which enjoy strong pro-Israel records. •aitw-ln-CaKI Imtrltm, JTA Ctpyrlght 1*74, Jewish TiMgraphlc Agtncy, Inc.

The second will be YasIr Arafat, chief of the terrorist gang Al Fatah, father of the Black September Movement and head of the Palestine Liberation Organization. The decline in the moral authority of the United Nations may be measured by the invitation extended to Arafat to speali from the same UN rostnim that was graced by Hli Holiness. Americans may talie satisfaction in our country's vote against the Arab-sponsored motion, and pride that the U.S. AmbaHador to the UN, John Scali, took a stand for humanity and decency and against the cynical acceptance of murder as the comnM» currency of international politics. Bat where ««c« Anwrica's aUtaT The best that BrIUlit, Belgium. Canada, Dcomait, the Natbariands and West G«r . naiqr oooM do was abataln.

The UN Kscilutton describes the PLO as "the represenUtive •f the PaliialliHaii people." Who made them to? Out of an estimated two million Palestinians, more than 60 per cent are citiiens of Jordan; wtio gave the PLO the right to rt^resent them?

Not the Palestinians wtio live in refugee canpa in Leitanaa or who have hunt new litres ior ttMnaeivaajlB Syria, in Kuwait, In Saudi Arabia. The PLO has never won an election, nor even held one. It is the UN Itself that t>y its craven surrender to political expediency conferred authority on the PLO to represent the Palestinians. In 80 doing, the UN gave an intematkinal pulpit to an outlaw band wlMwe proclaimed purpose is to destroy a member state of the UN, Israel. "Could there be a stigma more degrading for the United Nations than to become a forum open to the bearers of barliarism?" Israel's UN Amtiassador, Yoaef Tehoah, asked during the UN debate. The question Is worth pandering. Israel will survive the UN decision. BiA the UN may not.

Ttie goal, as expressed by BaheeJ Khlelf at the time was: To fatter friendship t>e(ween Arabs and Jews and to educate for mutual understanding and tolerancenot by preaching, but by creating social and cultural activities of comrnon interest. Today several thousand residents of Haifa-Arabs and Jews—meet on the common gnind of the complex of buildings which comprise Bet Hagefen. The weekly women's circle where Mrs. Hadawl and Mrs. Carmeli chat Is but one of numerous club and group activities for adults and youth alike. They range from Arab theater and Arab orcfaeatra which cater exclusively to Arabs—to a large bridge club, which attracts only Jews—to various sports, sculpture classes,' - nbrary, language classes and dance lessons In which the participation' Is mixed. But even the "exclusive" lines are crossed. Director of the new Arab theatre Is a theatrical professional from Russia, only she months In Israel!

^abs. Many of the conaervatlve Arab families are still reluctant to let their girts come to the Center, especially evenhigi. It's not the proper thing for an Arab girt to do. Laura Tabarani, an attractive Italian Christian who bi married to an Arab, and serves as secretary to the house director, has gradually been winning the confidence of many of theae Arab families. Laura promises she will keep an eye on the girls—and aiie does. Some Jewish families object to the whole project on the grounds that this kind of socialization will lead to intormarrUge. None of the veteran house staff to whom I spoke could remember any such cases, though they knew of Jewish-Arab cduples> prevkxisly married, who bad found Bet Hagefen a congenial place for their recreational and cultural actlvltes, without social stigma. Bet Hagefen was shocked In 1971 when two Arab giris working In the office were arrested for typtog copies of an anti-Israel circular mailed out to the Arabs of the Galilee. They were fired at once.

NEW YORK - The first anniversary of the cease-fire that ended the Yom Kippur War will be observed with the launching of a special 40-day drive to provide wider economic aid to Israel through an increaaed sale of State of Israel Bonds, it was announced by Sam Rothberg, general chairman of the Israel Bond Organization. The special campaign, to be known as "Forty Days of Actkm for Israel," will be officially inaugurated Sunday, Oct. 27, and will culminate on Sunday evening, Dec. 8, with the lifting of the first candle of Chanukah, the traditk)nal Festival of Freedom. Mr. Rothberg said that a principal feature of the new effort will be the participation of the new and younger leadership in a concerted drive to re-enroll for this year all Jews who bought Bonds a year ago following the outbreak of Ihe Yom Kippur War. He wnilniliwl that aver ftnoe OH Sb-Dv War o( 1M7, tba yomfsr pnaratinn of oolnniuaal leadenhlp lias pbqwd a "rale o( incnwaing infioftaiioe hi nobOlsiBg mw sourest o( support ior braol.'* The focus of the special 40day program will be the

enrollment of individuals and families as members of Shomrei Israel, (he honor society of purchasers of tl .000 and more In Israel Bonds, with emphasis on reaching and signing up again those who bought Bonds during and after the Yom Kippur War. He pointed out that ever since the end of the Yom Kippur War, the people of Israel have had to devote practically all of their own resources to maintain their security. To cover the $8 billion cost of the war, they are making compulsory loans of 20 per cent of taxable income to the government, paying the highest taxes In the
world and adoptlnr a regim. of adsterity. Their burden is further increased by record high defense bud^t of $3.5 blUion. "We must make (tie JewiRh communities understand that although the war ended a yc.ir ago, Israel's financial position Is just as critical today as it was during and Imntedlateiy after the conflict," Mr. Rothberg asserted. "It is to us that the people of Israel look for the decisive economic support and solidarity through Israel Bonds to accelerate Israel's economic development and help create a productive and self-sustaining future for the
new Immigrants from Soviet Russia and elsewhere," he said. The "Forty Days of Action tor Israel" will involve the purticipation of rabbis, synagogues and leaders of organizations In the various communities. Israeli consular officials and Israeli students at American universities will also take part in the program to be Initiated Sunday.

I am sure that In spite of today's economic condition, few if iny will use that as an excuse for not coming forward and be Hounted. We Just cannot afford not to give.

The national institutions we support must continue. As far as Israel Is concerned, it is no longer a conception of how much or to what extent we should give — it is a question of •Aether we are worthy of the sacrlfles Israel has made in our behalf. Many thousands of Israelis have given their lives, many more |koueand will live as cripples or in blindness. These sacrifices IWre not made for Israel alone. They were made (or Jews in Rusita.

Octob«f26.1974
I- About 75 people attended the INFORIENT held by I'l B'nal B'rlth Youth atkm Sunday night, B, at the Jewish Comnunity Center. r (INFORIENT, incidentally, li a term signifying "InJorroatlonal orientation" WMdi was coined by Mrs. Ann OokWein, an Omaha BBYO jboard member.) : Our intent was to bring ^BYOers and their parents poflether with leadership from fihe chapter, city and regional peveia to become better InIbnrnd about BBYO and lis jprablema and also to get jparents to volunteer as teeded. For the moat part, our llbjectlves were met. ^ In IhU article, I'd like to idbcuM one viewpoint exyretaed by some of the ^mnts. ; Al to the avotdanoe of ftiwMIng ooBlUcts: I emflMiiMd that every eflott to tecUiy tills BttuatloB has tailed kMauM of apftarent unnUtavieas of all Involved — jroath, adulta and ^ralMrioBals — to do more tbwi nike dwiiBwdt for Ui the old Omaha Jewish Youth Council, which exiated intli rfiout V/t years ago and which consisted of jrcpreaentatlvei from alt Mx BBYO chapters and two of the <tbree synagogue youth groups, there was no formula employed, other than the prtiltrary decision that one group's program was more pmrOty. of some date than
another's. Only after much arguing and -hurl feelings were calendars aet. And Invariably, those organisations who "loot" a date would go off and hold their programs anyway. In addition to the basic problem of non-cooperation between youth groups, we had and still have the lack of cooperation between the various BBYO chapters themselves, although there has been some Improvement. I malntahi tiMracanbeno regulation of youth organltatlan programing until the taene themaelves an ready to lit down to lonnulate the gnldallnao lor I maintain that, as long as e««h of the youth organizations (BBYO, Synagogue Youth Organization, Temple Youth Group, United Synagogue Youth) have their own lay advisory boards and professional directors, support must come from these adulta as well if a spirit of mutual respect and cooperatkxi Is to develop and besuatalned. At DO time should I, In my position as Center youth •ervlces and programs director, be called upon to ' ej^itlae dictatorial liuwus over the individual BBYO chapters or other Jewish youth groups. In their advocacy of this drastic measure, some parents are suggeating that teenagers be deprived of their right to conduct their organizational affairs In accordance with democratic
principles. The buck doesn't stop with me or with this agency I believe there is potential for re-establishing a Youth Council or similar group. I believe many of the teens and adulU associated with our various youth groups do want to communicate and cooperate with each other. In the near future, I will can a meoting of the youth and aduK ieaderahip of our teen gnwpn to begin the kngneeded and awaited proceaa of •drievlttg unity. The most Important concept to rennember Is that BBYO, like many other such groups. Is a youth-run organizatton. Somr youlh-serving agencies doA't have youth representation on their policy-making bodies and consequently develop programs FOR young people which may not meet their REAL needs «nd Interests. BBYO, however, provides (or youth lecdoihlp on all policy-making level*. In addition, BBYO seeks to nuiintain close ties with adult supervision, unlike some groups which function without adult sponsorship or superviskm. It Is this democratic nature of BBYO which has contributed greatly to its attractlvenen 1* our Jewlafa youth. But although our synagogue youth group* function by other aeta of guideline*, the concept of democracy Is basic to their existence, too. Let us not, in our endeavors to help them, compromise their right to choose their own alternatives and set their own directions.
