Jews CaHad to Hslp in Primary NEW YORK (JTA) American Jews were called upon to help get out the vote In the forthcoming primary, local and national electkms. Dr. Judah J. Shapiro, president of the Labor ZkMtlst Alliance, addressing the LZA's national executive committee, stated that "the conditkm of Jew* in any nation depends on how good a democracy It Is." The Jewish position,
Shapiro observed, "becomes reduced In circumstances where the economy and democracy are weak. It is therefore a genuine Jewish concern that the United States be strengthened for itself as well as for the ability of American Jews to come lo the aid of Israel and Jews in need everywhere." The need, he stressed, is to overcome the apathy and the Indifference to the democratic proceaa.
What's your pleasure these days, wtien spring Is a long time off and the recession Is still with us? Is It romance? Intrigue? Dreams of far-away places or catching up with international diplomacy? Folk music: Lapsing into nostalgia while you listen to tunes your grandmother used to hum? Come. Allow yourself to be lured into a not-so-secrel place you may have forgotten about. These pleasures and more await you, as well as amazement, pride, astonishment and beauty. Come to the Federation Library. As you know, it occupies a quiet space tucked among the art studios at the end of the long main corridor at ttie Community Center. It's a pleasant place to be: it has the hush and smell and feel of places where things of the soul happen. Like synagogues. And art museums. And sunlit forests. You owe It to youndf.

Veu know, Paul Veret spent most of his life buying and collecting almost everything that had anything to do with Jews and Jewish thought. The book collection Is 12,000 strong. (Surely you will find a book or two that you will love!) It's interesting that many of our most popular con- . temporary fiction writers are Jewish (the why and how is another slory). Bellow, Malamud, Stem, Mailer, Roth, Wouk, Uris — they're all Uiere In addition to many other line novelists not quite so famous, but whose books you'll enjoy. Edythe Wolf, our Columbia-trained, personable, professional librarian, points out the recently organized sub-section of the library devoted entirely to books on The Holocaust. This section has approximately 250 volumes ranging from sociological analyses to memoirs to historical accounts to sleuthing sagas which led to the capture of Nazi war criminals. This section has 90 percent of everything printed on the Holocaust. It's a fascinating collection. Go and browse. Equally ooniitele li an anarmaai adectton of books on Israel. Are modem problems especially interesting to you? Sample these recent titles: JEWISH INTERMARRIAGES: FACT AND FICTION, (1974); CONCERNING DEATH, (1974); SEX AND THE FAMILY IN THE JEWISH TRADITION (1967); NOW MOLLY KNOWS, (1974)—a novel about a young girl growing up between the 50's and the 70's; ADOLESCENT PREJUDICE. (1975); WRITE YOUR OWN WEDDING, (1973). Do you need clarificatkin of the oil-and-Israel dilemma in the Mideast? Try one of these: ECONOMICS AND POLmCS OF THE MIDDLE EAST, (1975); UNEASE IN ZION, (1974); THE KISSINGER EXPERIENCE: AMERICAN POLICY IN THE MIDDLE EAST, (1975); DECISIONS IN ISRAEL'S FOREIGN POLICY, (1975). And then, of course, there are volumes upon volumes on Jewish history; biographies of every Jewish personality you can think of, from Milton Berle to Martin Buber; Jewish cookbooks, archeology, art, sociology; books on Hasldiam and the Kabbalah - and on and on There Is virtually no end to the books or the stimulating subjects. Biography buffs might begin with WHO'S WHO IN JEWISH HISTORY. It covers 20 centuries of famous Jewish people.
