Isnell Newsman Says:
Death Threats Not Surprising ByRkkardPeari OMAHA - To hear Shaul Ben-Halm tell it, the average IsraeU today U sort of like the Utile feUow who isn't afraid of tbe big bullies in the dark alley anymore. Even though surrounded by his Arab enemlea, he knows be carries a big stick — mlHIary ability and pUin courage — and if any of thoae "bulllea" try to Jump him again, they'll get the same thing they've gotten before, only worse. "The people of larsel are great Iwlievers that their destiny U in their own hands, that it U not directed by the United Nations or any other government. It is up to the Israelis to defend themselves, and they will do so. "If there la another war, tke result will be the same as Ike prevleas fear, only more so." Ben-Halm Is the dapper, silver-haired foreign news editor of the Israeli afternoon newsp^flSr Maariv. He was in Omaha Tuesday and Wednesday on a quick swing through the midwest, stopping at Minneapolis before heading back to Chicago and the eaat coast. He said he did not think it unuaual that what were described aa "pro-Israeli demonatrators" had threatened on Tueaday to aasaasinate Yassir Arafat, the leader of the torroriat
Palatine Liberation Organization who was due Wednesday in New York to speak for the Arab stotes in the United NaUona. No reaction would be unusual in face of the fact that Araft could even come before the U.N. as a recognized representotive of a country that doean't exist, he said. He pointed out it waa Arafat's group that had killed United States envoy to Sudan a year ago" and add to it, how many Americans have lost theirllves" in Rome, in Egyptand elsewhere in Terrorist skyjacUnga. He addred wryly II Is a cfaich Arafat coulda'l come to Israel because "we wouldn't know wkal to do wilk him." He said hia newapaper's editorial policy has been generally that Israel should not open itself to any invaaion by allowing "a hoatile regime to estoblUh Itaelf on the Weal Bank" of the Jordan Rivet area. If such a regime were to put in missile emplacemente, for instance, "no ahpUne would be able to take off or land In larael." Aa for allowing Israelis to settle the West Bank area, he said he U ambivalent. "I favor Israelis settling everywhere, but there are political necessities to consider." The West Bank U a bey.negotiating point between larael and the Araba.
Although the Arabs have shown no willingness to change toward peace, BenHalm reiterated the laraeli policy that there will be no negotiationa with the PLO. "Rabat (the conference in which the PLO came to power) doesn't change the situation" of Israel'a willingness to negotiate with Jordan's King Hussein, in whose country live moat of the Palestinians. "Israel is not aboat to ncgottoto with Arafat. It's aa If they have rewritten tbe famoas Khartoum Resolutloa — 'no peace, no ncgotUtlaa, no recoaclllatlon.'

And so there will be a stolemate — a stolemato which Ben-Haim says waa brought about by • the Russians, according to the U.S. Stole Department.

The Mnt Oiatribution Committee has meant life isr Jews in need since its founding, and it continues its life-saving and life-sustainig .woit in 25 countriea thrcwghout the world, with Amda from the United Jewish Appeal.

It has been reconflnned that we, the Jews of America, are full partners in the straggle and achievementa of our brethren in larael. No Jew stands alone. One Jew, wherever he may be, can depend on others to help. This is the leaaoo o( die Yom Kippur War, a lesaoo we afitnesaed during the past eight daya. We learned once again that freedom must be earned by eacli generation. The uneasy ceaae-fire on Israel's borders Is maintained through constant vigilance, pirchaaed by the people of larael at a staggering price — a price which is not only financial, but huoMn. In order to assure survival, the people of larael freely and voluntarily pay the greatest tasea of any nation in the world. The price they have paid, and are prepared to pay, in manpower and Uvea is even more coatly. Oar task Ilea in aaolber area. FIfty-thaasaad Jews have migrated la larael dmiai the past year.

Before the Yom Kippir War, Ihe shortage of adequate housing was critical. The abrupt and complete stop in housing construction during and following the Yom Kippur War created a desperate condition for new immigranta waiting for tpartmeota. In recent mootha, the situation is being remedied with the extraordinary effort by the Jewish Agency to speed If! coostroctlon and to prepare for the poesible increase In altyah from the Soviet Union. Nevertlielesa, many immigrants of past years still live in small, overcrowded quarters — families of seven or more people forced to live in two and three rooms. These conditions must be improved if they are to share in the good life that is poasible in Israel.

Jewish Quiz Box IC«eyrlflfttl*74. JMrtaliTeietrasaic Aamcy, inc.) By RABBI DR. 8AIMUEL J. FOX (Copy right Ift4. Jewtah telegraphic Agency, lac.) QUESTION: Why Is the Sabbath ushered hi earlier than sunset on Friday night snd taken leave of later than sunset on Satarday alght? ANSWER: Someautboritlea (e.g., MechUtle Jethro) cUlm that the verses in the Bible infer this practice. The verse in the Bible which reads "Rememt>er the Sabbath" Infers having the Sak>bath in mind while it is not yet Sabbath. The verse which reads "Keep the Sabbath" Implies watching and hokling on to the Sabbath as it leaves. , Others claim that it is impossible (or the human twing to know the exact moment of sunset. Thus, in order not to make the mistake of violating the Sabbath on sunset one should observe the Sabbath before sunset on Friday and after sunset on Saturday. SUU others claim that the additional Ume both at the Ifeglnning and at the end of the Sabbath demonstrate our love for (he holiness of the Sabbath. The coming of a desirable visitor is anticipated even before he arrives just as bis departure is delayed by his host who wants to spend as much time with him as possible. Mystic authorities in the Kabbalah indicate that the dead are given a respite from Uieir ordeals on the Sabbath. Their respite lasts as long as the living observe the Sabbath. The longer the living obaerve the Sabbath (he bet(er it Is (or the dead.

anything that might happen They included all branches of the police force — hundreds of uniformed policemen on foot, hundreds of detectives, police on horseback, police helicopters which hovered over the area, and even uniformed policewomen. However, the demonstration passed peacefully. Young American Arabs mixed with the crowds openly carrying anti-Israel placards and apparently hoping to be beaten up and provoke disturbances. They were Ignored with disgust by the protesters. Inside the United Nations building, officials watched the demonstration from a distance. Inevitably the question "what is next in the Arab-Israel conflict?" was the topic of private talks among them. The prevaillBg opinio* In UN circles is Ihsi none of the Big Powers — not even the Soviet Unkm — wants tke
Israel. Although the Arabs BOW have the upper hand In the United Nations, there is no (ear that they may succeed In any attempt to seek the expulsion of Israel from the United Nations by the same majority of votes they secured (or the recognHlon of the Palestine Arab terrorist organisation. Israel is the creation of the United Nations and a member state of this world organization. Ita elimination from the UN would be a great blow to the entire UN system. There is, however, fear that a renewed war may break out between the Arab countries and Israel perhaps in the next three-to-six months. That preparations to this effect are being made now by the Arabs is evident. The question In (he minds of some UN delegates is, therefore, how to prevent the breaking out of such a war. It Is clear that this time if a war breaks out, it will bring with it
It U learned tht Syria i* already quietly moving some of its important offices from Damascus Into the interior of the country. This is taken as an indication that Syria is preparing this time to attack Israeli centers behind the front line by long-range missiles and is anticipating Israel's retaliation in the same manner. There is UtUe doubt that the United States will, if war breaks out, come to the aid of Israel. But the nature of the war may be such that the aid may come too late. It may be a "Bllti War" effected even quicker than the Yom Kippur War. Only if the U.S. sends proper aid to Israel before the anticipated war breaks out, can an attack on Israel be prevented. This is the opinion one heart among neutral delegates In the United Nations. War or no war, there is one word which Israeli leaders do (Ckmtinued on Page 14)

.OUESnON: What Is the eoaleat of Ike prsycrs which woraca recite sflcr Ugbliag the candles on Friday evealag?
ANSWER: A number of prayers are traditionally recited at this time. One is for the restoration of the ancient Temple and the glory of Jerusalem as In days of old. Some contend that this prayer is in order at this Ume l>ecause the restoration of the Jewish Temple is like a light dispersing the darkness, such as the act of lighting the candle to drive away the darkness on the Sabbath. Another prayer which Is traditional to recite after lighting the candles is a prayer asking the Almighty to help educate her children in the Torah. Light Is a symbol of knowledge and education, and thus It Is considered proper to pray for help in education when lighting the. candles. Some recite the prayer of the mother Hannah found in the Bible. It waa Hannah who prayed for a child and whese style of prayer set the image for Jewlah prayer through the ages. The bouaewife uaea thia prayer hopfaig the Almighty wUI answer her prayer like He answered tha prayer of Hannah In the Bible.

Des Moines Is an exciting, viable Jewish community that kas achieved outstanding heights In the past, but the year of 1975 holds a challenge that must be met. We will soon be meeting to confer and structure the Campaign. However, there is a Hassidic tale that I think so «pUy describes what our Campaign is really all about. The Ulc reUtcs thai a Hassidic Rabbi reaewned far Us yiety and ceapasssloii was ancxpectedly coarroaled one day by Me af his devoted yontkful dliclpin in their lianse e( prayer aad stady. In a burst of faeliag, the disciple exclaimed, "My Master, I love you!" The ancient teacher slowly looked up from his books, and then asked his fervent disciple, "Do you Imow what hurts me, my son?" The young man was battled. Composing himself he stuttered, "I don't understand your question, RabU. I am trying to tell you how much you mean to me and you confuse me with flirange questions." "My qaesttsa I* yea b aat at all straagc ar Irrclevaal", Ifcc BassUie RabM Bated. "It is the very saiU sf urfersUadiag lave and eompaisiaa ia ow tradttloa, far If yaa da aat fasw what hart* me, hew caa yaa Iraly leve aef" And so it is with the 1975 Campaign. If we profess to love Israel, if we claim that we care about our Jewish community of Des Moioes, and about Jews in Ruasia, Syria or whetever they may be, tlien we must learn — really learn — what hurts them. Moshe Dayan was once asked what we should do to help. He responded, "Have a Jewish heart". I submit that we must also haveanaddttionalhigrediatft, that of a Jewish mind, for as the BasskHc Rabbi said, "You cannot really love me If you do not teow what hu'ts me". Our challenge in UTS ii to learn, fad and taMw wall what

Ferauia. execatlve direcstr. Leataa title was "The aigaincaace of Oar Tines: Did Masct Realise He Wai Uvlag hi Biblical TinetT" llic D'var Torah is • regslar featare of each meetlag. By Dr. OersM K. Fenaaa Execative DIrcctar JewUh Welfare Federatiaa Tbia past summer I had the opportunity to read extensively Jewish sources snd participate in a magnificent retreat with other "small city" executive directon of Welfare Faderations. I experienced a search for a "sense of our times" siid a deeper undentanding of the currents that will dominate the future. "Away frftn ii aD" fai • retreat atmoaphere was very helpful in clearly defining "the big picture"; that to, a perspacQve of the happentnga in our day as distinguiahed from the trivia that overcrowd the dally routine. t find it extremely important and necessary to continually review the guiding principtes and commitments that affect my behavior. Commitments must be JusUfiedcooUnually as it is said, "The world is renewed every morning". TIds ta espectelly iapartaat ta the daya ahead when prefeialanals and toy icsdera will be cslled apaa u cammM themselves aad reiaarcti BMre than ever. In my view it Is essential to have an understanding, in depth, of what the Jewish people are all about and what it means to be a Jew today and what it meant to be * Jew yestenlay and the day before; what responsibilities we have and what meaning for our lives and otheri meeting these responsibiUUes hokte. If we are to succeed in inspiring others in the dreams of the Jewish people and its achtevements, we must first of aD examine these mstters in a most lerious way ourselves. We need to be clearminded and place in context the varioua roles that we live and play. At the prefoundest level of understsnding we need to know why we ara doing what we are doing. In my search for aniwara to tbeae questions, two responses emerged: The first, a desire to diacuss with otiiers iubjecis related lo Jewishnesa and Jewish commitment. Aa a result, I have developed a list of topics . I am prepared lo discuss arilh
Dr. GersM 9. Feraan various groups within and without the Jewish community; topics ranging from larael Today, Jewish History, Judaism, Federatten, and Middle East PoliUcs. My second response is more penmnal — a greater apprectettea aad awareaeai af Ike tiaes we live ta. I let my mind roam and think ia theological terms and reUtad these thoughts to the happening in the last 30 yean in Ihc "Jewish Work!." The feault is s tremendous snd frightening ecstatic awareness of our times. Such ptaraaea aa the "living Bible" have become more meaningful. TheokiglcaUy it is exciting to propose that we are living in a Messianic period or the beginning of a Messianic process. Jewish thought cnoceming the Meuiah, for the most part, stresses a process rsther than one day the normal and the next day the Messianic redemption. I asked myself the question whether Moses Indeed knew he was living in Biblical times, that is, in times in which the people were shown "sigoa and wonders."

By itielf it wai not redemption from slavery to freedom but It was a beginning of a process towards freedom. The 1»4S War of LiberaUon was the emergence of tiie third Jewish state but in a very truncated form. It was a beginning, in fact one can tay from the depths of the decay repreaeoted by the Holocaust, a light appeared and that was the SUte of Urael in IMS - a sign of redemption. The confrontation at the Red Sea — the Egyptian* pursuing the Israelites and the Israelites feeling so incapable of deliverance — where signs and owners appeared; theses opened, the people passed and the sea swallowed up the Egyptian pursuers, to me is of a similar magnitude to the events of the IM7 Six Day War. The entire Arab world, tens of millions of people, was poised against Israel to drive the Jews Into the aea; and yet every legion of Israel succeded in accomplishing its tasks with minima) casualties. Surely r these were "signs and wonders." The beginning of the 40 years in tha desert perhaps, in a thenlogtral sense. Is Analogous to the Yom KIppur War. Moses sent spies to the land of Canaan and they reported that the Canaanlles were militant people; that Is, th«y knew the art of war, and it would be very difHcult to acquire the "Promised The response of the Israelites is almost total (nistratioo.

complete coiifklenee In their own capabilities to such a degree that they viewed themselves capable of Inhuman taaks — an Ironic juxtaposition to the Idolatry concerning Moses' spies. The Yom K^>pur War, in this perapective, was a "sign" to the Jewish people reminding them that they are not omnipotent — that their destiny is not controlled totally by their own actiona — that they must respect their enemies and relate to themselves humbly. Following the analogy Into the future, we are now in the desert aa our forefatheis were. We are now In that 40year travail facing dlfflculltes and enormous probleqis. I need not recall to you the events in the last year and the "signs" for the years to come. The future of the State of Israel is in question. Its security, feelings of selfconfidence, have been irreparably damaged. The political and military situalioa Is grave and unstable. Israel needs our support more than ever. In the first 25 years, Israel wss an Inspiration and Joy to us. The achievements of the Jewish people — refugees from the Holocaust — were tremendous. Today, Israel needs Inspiration from us. Oar ceataltaienl, ear dedleallsa and ear service for the survival of Israel and the Jewish people has never been as needed and welcome as it is today. Whether the Messianic process started 27 yean ago will continue to blossom and result In a "light from Jerusalem" that the world will not be able to Ignore, or whether It shall end in despair and Holocaust will, to a large degree, depend upon or actiona. World Jewry — particularly the Jews of America — In a real sense are on trial as Jews and as human beings. The scene is set, and.we are the acton. Personally, I am awed and terribly excited about our times. The Bible today Is living, because we are living in BlUicsl times Just as much as Moses dki, and perhaps, even more. "Signs and wonders" and challenges have been placed before us, and It la up to us to stand and do the Job that will enrich our live* and all mankind.

'Shevat Achkn Gam Yachad' —Brothers Sitting Together By JOY RABINOWm DES MOINES' - Ust Sunday, Nov. 3 there fras an assembly at tlie Bureau of Jewish Education. To say the least, the hour from 11a.m. to noon was quite unique and very meaningful to all those who participated. As reported in last week's article, several mlnl<ourae8 are being offered at the Bireau on Sundays. All of the special interest groups reported on their various sctivlties and the success they've had with them. First of all, a puppet show by the Drama Oub presented two short plays "The Importance of a Wise Judge" and "The Importance of a Just Ruler". Both plays made the audience think, each had a basic theme to which the children were able to relate. They were based on the MaTov stories. The next club was the Arts
and Crafts Club. They made stained glass windows pertaining to Rosh Hashanah and Succot. They also made Kepot with designs In direct correlation to SImchat Torah. The project centered around Shabbatwere Tzedaka Boxes. Next on the agenda was the Stamp and CSiess Club. The Stamp Club studies stamps by calagorizing people, lliey study scientists, presidents and various other important people. The CThess Club solved a practice situation by checkmating the king in two moves. The Dancers made their debut by performing two. dances. The kids were enthusiastic, as always. As a whole, the assembly was successful. The kids were excited by what they were doing, so the entire school followed along with the enthusiasm. It really was a beautiful sight seeing "Shevat Achim Gam Yachad".

The elderly expect only that "their needs continue to be met as respectful individuals, not as nameless, faceless recipients. "Our elderly need a social security to keep In touch with the world around them to help keep tlwlr emotional health." Cloing with this of course, is care for their physical health, he said, adding that "indigency should not set the standard of care for the aged."

20 Jewish Families in Voodoo Land f(C*ryrlgbl l»74. Jewtih '. Teiegrapkk Ageacy, IBC. > By Etea Abeabett :
There are Jewi in the Und of voodoo. i As a matter al (act there ^•re al least twenty Jewish families and an Israeli Embassy with a staff of six in Haiti, the Caribbean republic best known (or its Afroinspired religious rites, primitive paintings and stormy poHMcal history. The Jews of Haiti are mainly of Syrian origin with a sprinkling of Central 'European Ashkenazim; the former arrived on the island al the turn of Ihe century, the latter came around Ihe lime of World War 11. Both make a living as merchants and businessmen in Port au Prince, Haiti's dusty capital which is reminsceni of an Oriental souk except that Ihe bargaining is done in French or Creole instead of Arabic. The Israelb of Haiti are hca4c4 by Ambaiudor Zecv . Bashaa. aa army officer wbo it Israel's first residcat anbaasador !• Pari aa Prince. Before bis arrival. Israel was represented in Haiti by ito ambassador t* Paaaaia. and Ibc oaly "o(ilciai" Israelis tai the country were tbe nemlwri of a •teduieai cooperation mission working on • project of agrlcniturai development la the Cal de Sac Valley oalside Part aa Priace. It was hi great measure due to the Saccpst of this project that 4be Haitian geverameat asked Israel far a "fall-Ume" eavoy. During a recent ilay in Haiti, an inquisitive tourist got a glimpse of what Jewish existence is UIK in this tiny communily as well aa a laste «f Ihe difficult, yet important Job performed by Israel's agricullural experts in tiie developing countries. For the "glimpa^. our iuurist didn't have to go ftirther I ban his hotel, located ,ip PetionviUe, ihe fashionat>le suburb in Ihe mountain! above Port au Prince. The lywei Is a man arhoae falber 'fum a Jew and wliose mother "was a Black Haitian. When
rI i I f
ihis man's son was bom he first had Ihe infant circumcized by a moitel, titen taaptiied. The godmother al Ihe baptism was Mrs. Molly Abilbol, a Jeweas trarn in Haiti of Syrian parents. Mrs. Abilbol has resided al the hotel for Ihe past ten years — since her grown children left Ihe island — with her husband, Isaac, who came to Haiti half a century ago from Morocco, and runs a dry goods store in Port au Prince. Asked about local Jewish life. Mrs. Abitbol, a warm, articulate woman, said thai Ihe few families were on good personal terms, bul thai communal instilulions were non-exislenl. Occasionally, a rabbi or canlor is brought in from the Stales lo perform a marriage or a Bar Milzvah. Since Ambassador Bashan's arrival, his staff has organized High Holiday services and a Passover seder for the Jewish community. Nol k>ng ago Ihe embassy slaff played host lo Mrs. Ruth Dayan, former wife of the general, and president of Maskit. Ihe Israel handicraft concern. Mrs. Dayan was louring South America and Ihe Caribbean under the joint sponsorship of the Organization ol American Stales and Israel's Office for International Cix>peralion to see how Israel could help the counlries in the area develop their handicrafts. Like any visitar, Mrs. Days a went l« tee a vaadaa cereaaay. In the miaicaravaa — Ambattador's car, Mrs. Dayan't vciiicle, and tecorlty detail — which set oat lale'in the eveabig t« wMaess a demonstratioa al the aaUve caH, (be ca» versatien tamed on a rival voodoo dcmosttrstiOB center ma by aeae other Oma Rasic RaMnsteia, ex-wife af AMe Nathaa. ibc Israeli peace pUat. II icemt Ibal Mrs. RaMnslchi landed in HaiU one day, liked the place, aad decided lo stay on. Bul perhaps more interesting than the staged voodoo spiel was a journey out into the countryside lo visit Ihe Israeli agrictillural
misaion. Led by David Harari, a Ubbutznik who worked in Madagascar until that African state broke relations with Israel in Ihe wal» of Ihe Vom Kippur War, Ihe team of ttiree Israelis is Irying to increase Ihe crop yield of four hundred peasant families living on an annual income of aboul f70 in a region with little rainfall. The other two members of llie mission are Abraham Ben SlUmon, a veteran of several years in Laos, and Ahmed Zahalka, an IsraeH Arab with previous experience In
Zambia. In Ihe caae of Haiti — according to wluit tlie Israelis say — friendliness towards the Jewish State extends to Ihe government as well. HaiU has a resident community of some S.OOO Arabs — several of Ihe major art galleries where Ihe famous Haitian primilives are sold are Arabowned — and relations with the Arab stales, bul after Ihe massacre of Israeli athletes al Ihe 1972 Olympic Games, Haiti issued a set of commemorative stamps in Irilwie lo Ihe fallen Israelis.

C^haim Welzmann was the roving pleader-of justice for his people. He is hailed as a scientist, Zionist leader and Israel's first President. He Is not to l>e forgotten as tlie Sbalisb (emissary) for the opprasssd and disinherited homeless to the emancipated and affluent. It is as such that he moved from city to city, from hamlet to hamlet throughout the worU, with specUl tasks in the United States where he needed financial assistance for the Zionist libertarianism as well as the encouragement of the entire people and government of the United Stotes. His American role may l>e second only to his relationships with Arthur Jamaa Balfour and the Britiah Cabinet in 1917. Thereafter he was the roving propagandist and fund-raiser. This reporter flnl met him la Cleveland at the convention of the Zionist Organliatlon of America at which llie Welimaao split with Sapreme Ceort JnsUc&.^Laals D. Brandeis and the Brandelslsts took place. It was Welimann'i first victory la the ranks of the Jewish maiset of Ihb country. The wisdom of the split may •till be debalaUc, but Wriimann emerged as the unchallenged leader in worM Jewry. He traveled back and forth from Palestine, England, France, to the United SUtes and Canada. He pleaded for funds to sustain the Impoverished Zionist movement. He earned glory but the income was pitiful. yet he never stopped pleading, and was often frustrated but never disillusioned. He had many lessons from predecessors, , fromTheodor Herzl, David Wolfsohn, Otto Warburg and their associates as Zionist leaders who struggled to mahitain a great movement. Intermittently, this reporter met him In many areas, on many occasions. A notable one was the Keren Heyesod national conference in Boston in 1926. Weizmann was given an entire day. He spoke for three hours at the morning session; there was time out for lunch; the delegates returned to hear him for more than two additional hours at the afternoon sessk>n. He was not a spellbinder but his deeprooted devotions made him the dedicated leader to llaten to. He spoke to saiact sudiences In English, and loved to utilize his Yiddish wil and humor in his addresses to the masses. He became the darling of the populace— of amha, the people of Israel. In order best to describe his missions, it Is necessary for this reporter to recall the many meetings Welzmann addressed in the New York ' areia'ih the late iM». There
were occasions when he spoke twice or tlunee times st dinners In BrooUyn, In Brownsville and nearby . section. The human response was wholesome, even If the money raised was In driblets. It was always the same: grapefruit, chicken, stnidel for desseri. They were the years when people tat down immediately to dbiDcr: It was aat the era of eockUUs and rcceptlaas to faitradoce the dlaoers. In his early years, receptions for the master pleader were by the largest maases. When he came to Detroit hi 1922— to give one examplethere was a welcoming group of thousands whk:h Jammed the Michigan Central Railroad Station. There was need for police to lead him through the enthusiastic welcomers. Ilien came the community reception. Jewish-owned stores were closed for the day; schools recessed and a parade was arranged dovim Woodward Avenue. The late C^aptain Haeman Weiss, who chaired the reception committee of which this reporter was secretary, led the parade riding on a white horse. Hebrew school children carried an immense Zionist flag into which the thousands who lined the street of the march threw coins and small bills. There' wasn't much money, but ttiere was great enthusiaam.
Always, it was Welxmsnn with s remtrkable sense of humor. Oo one Detroit visit, this reporter. Iiellcving that the story he was rehiting to the eminent guest might be new, undertook to luirralc It. In the middle, he wss stopped by Wclimsnn with a qiiestioB: "You're a Lttvak. aren't youT" To the '•Yes," reply he added. "Thea we understand each other." II was a way of saying, "it's an old slary. I've heard it before, aad I can tell It as well as y«a eaa."
The last time this reporter heard Weizmann was on Nov. 2, 1B49, at the dedicaUon of one of tlie major science buildings at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot. Nearly blind, he read slowly, hi low voice, from a manuscript typed in letters perhaps a half-inch deep. His voice had been affected for many years from a fish bone that lodged In his throat.
Only on rare occasions did lie show either displeasure or disillusionment, as when he'd get loU of advke on how to build the Jewish State. "I
Even under handicaps he was the great pleader—and he was the darling of American Jewry.

'Here to Stay' (Continued from Page &) not like to hear coming from American Jewish leadership. This word Is "survival." "I don't like this word," one of tlie top Israeli leaders toU me. "It carries a pessimistic undertone. Israel will exist whatever happens." Judging from the opinions I heard among experts in tlie United Nations, the Israeli leader is quite right in dUliUng the use of the word "survival" with regard to Israel. As one In Iha United Nations (old me: "There is no question that the State of Israel will continue to exist, no matter what Arab extremists think. The UN Security Council resolution provides for secure borders for Israel. The question Is only wliere die borders wiU be set. Israel may have to give up part of the tarritarias she boMs now, but slw WiU dsAailsly not be wiped out. She Is here to stay."

'A Book Review:
\Women's Lib — Orthodox Style By Arych Newman .^ JERUSALEM - No one |*n hope to bridge the gap {between the proponents and ln>onenU of Women* Ub, pMit lo in the context of jludaitm. : There are countleaa Jewiib ^ornen who (all to tee pnythlng second-class in the lole Judaism has cast for Itiem. The fact they cannot Biake up a mtayaa, be called up lo the Torah, write or •uthorize a divorce, are ihut (fit from the sources of power «nd decision-maUng in the world of Jewish religious florm, does not worry them in ttie least. For most of them, the place iOf women is in the home, child-bearing and rearing, dominating certain professions such as school and kindergarten teaching •nd attending exclusively female educational institutions. It is questionable whether they are any less Influential within their family or group or Ihat their lives are any the less satisfying. On the oUier side of Ike fence are the women, chiefly kat net exctaslvely from se called neo-erllMdex circles, who find Judaism a maledominated religion which •bitlnalely refnsci to give women their rightful place In ••clety, discriminates •galasi them In marriage, 4iverce. iaherKanec and Iwrtlcipatlan la reiigians .werslUp. For the former, no apologies are necetaary; for the latter, none can help. It is refreshing, therefore, to pick up a book entilled Women and 'Ibe Mlixvot which provides information rather than indoctrination, sources rather 'than a definite code of ;rvlings, leaving the readers to Idraw their own conclusions. _ it Is theologically Im-
HM
peccable enough to win an enthusiastic foreword from Sephardk Chief Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef wh(!. congratulates tlie author for his repreaentative selection from rabbinic teaching. The conclusion that emerges from the sources — so neatly arranged under But^h subject headings as "separation of the sexes," "rules of morality and modesty," "dress," "private and public worship" — reflect an unmistakable effort to relate them to tlie everchanging realities. The reader's Impresslmu will obviously be determined by his own preconceptions. The diehard wlli approvingly note Uw sanrces ferbldding women the mini, the trousersnit and Talmnd study, and to the men, the pleasures of her voice and nataral hair. The fact that ladles were only excluded from being called to read the Torah mlpnci kevod ha-tiihur, was taken by Sephardi Chief Rabbi Uriel to mean "so as not to ahame the menfolk In an age where literacy was usually confined to them." Such a departure during the service would have implied that there were no men In the congregation fit for the Job. Their feelingi too had to be considered, and it is these that presumably still take precedence. Altogether, when one considers that the bulk of the source literature on the subject was composed at a lime when women lived bi purdah, usually lumped together with slaves and children and could, with notable exceptions, neither read nor write, the actual principles informing them are surprisingly "liberal."
