NEW YORK-A prominent historian predicts that American Jewry, in the bicentennial year of U.S. Independence, may be "about to embark on Its golden age." Professor Henry L. Felngold, of the City University of New York, writing in the 1976 edition of the American Jewish Year Book, suggests that American society has allowed full play for the energies and talents of American Jews. "The portents are that American Jewry may generate sufficient cultural energy to carry Judaism forward,'' he suggests. lUs relatively opIUUatic outlook tor tbe future of Jews

"They are not ours," she says. There are many words that American Jews are reluctant to use when strangers may overhear Most of us, for example, would not use fourletter obscenities in crowded elevators or supermarket lines. This Is simply civilized behavior. But there is another word that we speak just as quietly - If at all - when strangers are near. It Is a three-letter word: "Jew."

Former Israeli Premier Golda MeIr, facing a hundred distinguished Americans, including Secretary of State and Mrs. Henry A. Kissinger and AFL-CIO President George Meany, declared that "the one thing I wish" is to stand before "an audience anywbeire in the world and be 4hle to say—well, it's all over; no more wars." "No one, no one in the world, wants peace more than Israel," she emphasized in a moving extemporaneous address Dec. 29 at a luncheon at the National Portrait Gallery where an oil painting of her by Raphael Soyer was unveiled. The 78-year-old stateswoman said that when she was accused of "Intransigence and stubbomess" in the Middle East diplomatic process, she remembered Auschwitz and Buchenwald. "Yes, I plead guilty," to those charges, she * added, because "we can't afford another risk."

W^ bong «a because we knew IMW to prav for It and BB to o« anlb ior it" Kissinger said that. In his seven years in Washington as a U.S. government official, "no person has moved me more and no one's association has meant more to me than Mrs. Meir." He said, "Mrs Meir has always symbolized that survival of a country Is serious business and nothing Is more Important than the spirit of the people.'' Declaring that "the most reliable guarantee for Israel Is not diplomatic agreements nor reassurances but Israel's spirit," Kissinger added that "the confidence that this little Slate represents is of thegreatest importance to the spirit of man and the spirit of freedom." He hailed Mt^. Meir as "this great representative of a country whose freedom, Independence and security are of vital Importance to the United States." S.

"are accepted In Its representative assemblies, and they have a share of powej," Further, he continues, "singling Jews out as a target becomes increasingly Unlikely." Turning to often-expressed, fears that energies and talents invested by Jews in American • secular culture are Inversely proportional to those that American Jewry Invests In Jewish culture, the author praises Jewish scholarship, here as not problematic. "The mantle of scbolarehlp worn for centuries by European Jewry," be declares, "has been successfully transferred not ady to Israabut also to America." There Is no reslstence to the teaching of Jewish literature and history In American universities, "which are witnessing a proliferation of courses In Jewish history and culture, and In some cases of entire Jewish-studies departments," he recounts. This indicates, says Prof. Felngold, "that a substructure Is being created, that energy and talent are being invested, and. In a word, that Jewish cultui^ has a future in America." On the other hand, the author cautions, there Is a limit to the degree of influence the Jewish community can DavMBeUn exert, especially on public Belin stressed the im- policy. He suggests that the portance of developing school(ContlnuedonPage2) year and summer programs -related to the contemporary Jewish experience of the students.

They are expected to discuss the Security Council's forthcoming Middle East debate to open Jan 12 wUch Israel has aaid It will boycott because the Palestine Liberation Organizatkn has been iiivited.The U.S. is making strenuous efforts to persuade Israel to reconsider Its decision. Israel, for Its part, believes the U.S.Tan still veto PLO participation in the proceedings.
iwnignonng JERUSALEM (JTA) Foreign Minister Yigal Alton said Dec. 24 tiiat Israel does not Ignore the issue of Palestinian identity and warned that to do so would not weaken, but strenghten, the Palestine Liberation Organization in the in-
temalonal arena. AUon made his renMrks to the Knesart hi reply to an agenda motion by Likud'MK Eliezer Beeri criticizing the government's propaganda efforts against the PLO. The Knesset, at Alton's request, struck off the agenda a motkm by Likud MK Moshe Arens proposing that Israel refuse to accept, in the United Nations peacelceeping forces on^the Golan Heights and in SInal, contingents from countries that voted in favor of the General Assebmiy's rtaolution equating Zionsim with racism. On the Palestinian issue, AUon noted that the term "Palestinian Identity" was not a new addition to Israel's political dictionary, but was used in the past. He cited the Cabinet's resolution of July 21, 1974 that recognized the existence of the question of "the expression of selfidenUty" bv the Palestinians.

(Continued from Page 1) something American Jews say In public. It is a afleot noun. This inhibltkm is part of a complex absorbed over centuries. Somehow we came to believe what our murderers told us — that Jews were themselves responsible for anti-Semitism. Gradually this belief has translated itself into a social code. If only we don't call attention to ourselves, If we are not too loud and obvious, then everything will be fine and everyone will love us. Whenever the Southern California Council for Soviet Jews, which 1 head, holds a demonstration in a public place, some bystander invariably steps out of the crowd and says to me (while glancing around nervously), "I know what you are doing and 1 sympathize. After all, I am Jewish myself. But why here? Why nqw? Don't you realize that this Is not the right Ume or place? There are so many Gentiles here, and they will get the wrong impression." But this well-meaning bystander is never able to tell me what the "right" time or place might be. Actually, for those Jews who feel as he does there has not been a "right" time or place for the last 2J)00 years. There slogan is still "Sha-Shtil"-keep still.
Director Chooses Cast for "The Price" OMAHA - Guest director Ray Williams has announced the cast for the next production of the Jewish Community Center Cultural Arts Department, which is Arthur Miller's "Hie Price".

The play revolves around .Walter and Victor, two brothers who have come together after 16 years to settle the sale of their father's possessions, according to Mark Zalkin, cultural arts director.

Israel's Policy on The Palestinians In apparent tribute to the PLO's ability to plant bombs in Jeniialem's Zion Square and to murder Yeshiva students in botder setUements, the United Nations Security Council has voted to invite the Palestine Liberation Organization to talie part in its debate on the Middle East beginning January 12th. Israel has announced it will not participate in such a charade, since It is under no obUgation to negotiate the terms of its own HqukJation. The PLO has puMidy pndahned its goal of deitfrqying Israel and, undenlandably, Israel does not care to bai]galn on that issue. But Israel has mide clear its position on the Palestinian issue. As spelled out most clearly by Defense Minister Shimon Peres during his visit to Washington, Israel's policy boOs down tothis: 1 — "fhere must be no state between Israel and Jordan. Such an entity would be a prime target for talu over by the Soviet Union and would thereby threaten not only Israel's survival but the integrity of Jordan aswM. 2 - Ihe PLO must not be permitted to ; transfer its headquarters from Lebanon to the West Bank. Such a move would destroy whatever chances there are for a peaceful resolution of Palestinian sdf-realization. S - Jordan - itiMe poUtteaQjr and : dirtvfiv acoHnkaBy (ttaaks Is lis pcMieful rdalkaHwIttteMiy - nwt not be pensMtad to datatkirala tain a fljnrta-
alyfe "ooolnataUiiii'' 4 - Israel will talk with Palestinians but not with the temirist PLO. The differeooe between the elected mayors of the West Bank and the terrorist leaders in Lebanon Is that the mayors talks and the PLO shoots. 5 - To lay the foundation for resolving the Palesthilan issue, the Arab papulation living under Israel admlnistratkin must be given tlie opportunity to move toward selfgovemment. Out of some 16,000 persons engaged in the administratkm of the West Bank and Gaza, 15,500 are Arabs. Israel stands, ready (according to Peres) to hand over the other SOO places as well. 6 — There are twapossible solutions to settling the political future of the Palestinians - either by giving them autonomy as citizens of a PalestinianJordanian state, or by an agreement between Israel and Jordan that wilLenaUe the Palestinian people to assert their identity in a European Common Markettype of rdatlonsbip based on open borders, free trade and other forms of economic and poUtical cooperation with the Jewish sUte. These six points offer a useful basis for discussion and debate on the Palestinian issue. The presence of the PLO in the Security Council beginning January 12, however, ndes out any kind of constructive approach to the problem.

WOMEN'S PORBST A group of 170 Bnal B'rith Hwnen called on Kina Kalzir at the President's residence and presented her with a Jewish National Kund certificate for a grove to be planted in the BBW section of the the Intemalionai Women's Forest in Galilee.
Immersed as 1 bave been in Zkmism from earty cMUbood — with a father who waaone of the tint Ziam* In UthuanU at the tuniof tfaecartury and a lifelong Zhmist activist in OnUba, who even bought land in Palestine afaorlly after the Balfour Declaration — Iww can I refrain from marking the centennial blrtti of Weizmann and note tbe spectacular achievements of him as Jew, Zktnlat and PrometheaaMan? As a product of a afatetl in Lithuania and also as a product ol an American college education in tbe natural sdenoes and in the humanities, I was fascinated ' and bitrigued by Weizmann as scientist and Zionist statesman as soon at he appeared on the Jewiah. and intenatkaialaoeae. What mada Mai ooMandtag in utf ejfca.. .waa that he waa pertMpa Ite watt periect tfttbttti of our Ume of lhe<
Weatan Eunpean CMbva. Though he was not a traditional Jew in the rdlgious sense, be had the most profound reverence for Jewish tradition in all tU fonns. And he never for a moment doubted the final victofy of ZkMism. Hend, Us predecessor, was also a proud and dignified leader, Ixit his pride was personal, emerging froin an assimilated milieu to leadership. Weizmann's pride was rooted In Jewlalness. This gave him tbe extraordinary dignity which bnpressed itsdf upon the world's statesmen with whom he came in contact. This magnificent heritage of centuries of Jewish hlMoty and tradition was combined io his person with tlw generous heritage of Western civilization. Assuredly, be was a great scientist and could eettatnly have become one of tbe great chemists of our time, iiad be not lavished most of ills energy upon 'Zionism. So perltetly had he alNOited and assimilated the rich treasure of many nations and euKuics that he could DOOM with ease amung divene people in so mahy countries. I's ZtaMm w« iTHtfff*, tMt
