The English text was written, by Cantor. Harold Lerner of Temple Adath Yeshurun in Syracuse, N. Y.

Symphony will comprise the orchestra. The oratorio is a large scale work, Cantor Najman said, with the music ranging from serious chorales and rather difficult solo renditions to simpler folk-like settings of texts adapted from the

For Continued Vigilance who U Editor Emeritus

Mike Wallace's segmenfoh Syria during a recent 60-mlnute program was an attempt to vindicate his highly controversial 1975 report that Syrian Jews were not in danger. Wallace has convinced himself that be was right the first time, that life for Syria's Jews is difficult but only a bit more difficult than that of the common Syrian. Let us assume that Wallace is indeed the sole vicar of truth, that every tale of past brutality and murder is no longer applicable under president Assad. The basic fact of Syrian Jewry's imprisonment and insecurity within Syria remains. Does Wallace seriously believe that Jews being filmed with a Syrian secret police agent , in the room would be anything but laudatory of the government? Has Wallace' forgotten that it was Assad's chief of staff, Gen. Has, who decorated a Syrian soldier publicly for killing 28 Israeli POW's? It is, of course, entirely possible that Syrian Jews have made some recent gains under Assad's rule, if so, credit must go to distinguished international leaders tike the President of the French Senate, Alain Pober, and Gen. Lucius D. Clay, who have vigilantly championed their cause. ' Wallace himself might claim that his 1975 film and the widespread attacks it evoked may have helped induce the Syrians to be more cautious and deferential to world opinion. ' .'..-. The conclusion Is that there can be no relaxation of concern; for history shows that interludes' of tolerance in the Moslem world have been interrupted by ssv?gc violence — as in Lebanon. • Finally, we recall the films In which Goebels portrayed the clean and tidy barracks in the idyllic concentration camps. Many of the happy folk in these films died in Auschwitz by the time their pictures flashed on Western screen;. It is oversimplification to hail President Sadat's abrogation of the Soviet Treaty of Friendship as a U.S. victory which should be

rewarded with military equipment, as "symbolic support that he needs to justify fetr departure from the Moscow alliance" — to quote columnist Charles Bartlett In The Washington Star (March 19). . Sadat never wanted the 1971 treaty. It was forced on him by the Soviets because he had dared to imprison All Sabry and other leftists, and because he was scrapping President HAIFA—Israel enjoys the someone else, thus making the a wealthy widow, spent Nasser's socialist economy.

A Warning to Israel Issued

Jewish Federation of Omaha

-IN DEPTH:

—A continuing series of artlcloa t o batter acquaint you with your Federation.

What Are The Children Studying? By Barbara Simon Many of our educators believe, as do committed, laymen like Department of Jewish Education Chairman Steve Riekes, that We must perpetuate our values. ; Says Riekes: "The permanence of our civilization as Jews depends upon how we handle Jewish education. We can no : longer be satisfied with the kind of Judaism that is a 'lox and bagel'thing." '•Scholars and aware adults throughout our history have ^always agreed on the importance of Jewish education. '•':" The Talmud teiis us, says Rabbi Isaac nauuii Of Beta Israel Synagogue, that if a community doesn't nave enough money and must choose between building a school or a synagogue, it should build theschool first. And the broadly applied Talmudlc value—all Jews are responsible, one for the other—has special meaning when reminding a community of its duty to provide education for its members, young and old. Omaha Jewish Federation Director Lou Solomon says that "Omaha Is joining a trend jn putting more emphasis and more dollars Into education. He says that Federations all over the country are putting educational activities on the high priority list for financial support. . What, then, do the schools of fer to help make possible lifelong Jewish identification and pleasure in living Jewishly? Rabbi Broznberg and Stanley Mitchell, Beth El education director, express educational alms shared by educators at every synagogue. Rabbi Bromberg insists that the most useful way to talk about education is to ask the question, What kind of person do we want to turn out? After completing nine or 12 years of study (abbreviated, as we know, to a few hours, a few times a week), educators hope they will create: -......-..• -..• • — A knowledgable young person who will want to continue hls-her heritage; — A young person who knows what questions to ask and where to get the answers; —A young person who knows and can read the prayers In Hebrew which form the core of Jewish worship; — A young person who is on hls-her way to becoming a literate Jew; a person who knows what the basic Jewish texts say, who is knowledgable enough about concepts and rituals to be able to conduct a service, and who has, and continues to acquire, a Jewish library. If this person reads and keeps up with Jewish studies -with the same commitment given to general knowledge (politics, history, fiction), then Rabbi Bromberg would call the person's schooling successful. — A young person who feels a loyalty to the Jewish People, who feels pain and joy with other Jews, who expresses hls-her loyalty by being involved in a synagogue, by working for and donating money to Jewish community activities, visiting Israel and becoming emotionally a part "'orthatcounfiry.

A large order for any education program to fill! , It should be emphasized that there Is no basic disagreement among the schools regarding these educational aims. The differences are in how the aims are to be achieved—what emphasis, what methods, what degree of adherence to traditional Jewish practices and approaches. Rabbi Bromberg says studies have shown that the longer a student attends a school of JewisK studies, the more likely heshe jvill be an involved Jew* In fact, this same study revealed that Jewish studies pursued in the teen years, even for a few hours a week, did as much to insure long-term Jewish living as intensive day school education It should be noted here that, partly due to the Department of Jewish -Education's teacher-training sessions, Omaha synagogues use the "inquiry" method of teaching. ... Developed by the Melton Institute and passed on by Beth Israel's Shirley Spltzer, who attended,the Institute, the method seeks to lead tije classes into discussions about the moral issues revealed in Biblical events; rather than simply presenting facts r and information. -,.-•.•:-•--=•.•=..--• Following is an overview of the curriculac of the three : synagogues: .

Beth El classes offer students .study units under broadheadings. The areas are presented in a more playful and superficial manner to the youngest children and increase In complexity and depth as the children grow. 1. The elements of Hebrew reading through graded Hebrew texts, collateral Hebrew reading and selection from theSiddur. ; 2. Study of Torah by reading the Bible, selections from Rabbinic sources and ethical and moral teachings of the J Torah. (Continued on Page 10)

After expressing concern "for both the Palestinians and the . I s r a e l i s , " the ad challenges American foreign policy and calls for the "Inclusion of the PLO as an essential party to the negotiation of a full and lasting peace." It also calls for "full and open Congressional hearings on U.S. policy in the Middle East" aimed at bringing about "a redirection of our policies." What Is most disturbing to those of us who are interested in disarmament, an end to terrorism and some start on the long road tpward real peace, but at the same time are concerned about the survival of Israel as a Jewish State, Is that in the name of pacifism, non-violence and peace, the sponsors of the ad have been able to obtain the signatures of many men and women who have worked long and valiantly as pacifists for a non-violent solution • of the world's problems. It Is indeed Ironic that the PLO has managed to win over such' people as Martha Frledlander, chairperson of the Fellowship of Ethical Pacifists; Barton Hunter, executive secretary of the Fellowship of Reconciliation; Homer Jack, World Conference on Religion and r e a c e ; tcabbi Michael' Robinson, Temple Israel of Northern Wcstchester; Henry Schwarzschlld, American

Union.: Rabbi Gerald Serotta, director, City College of New York Hillel Foundation; Rabbi Arnold Jacob Wolf, Yale Hiiiel Foundation director; Arthur Waskow, Institute for Policy Studies; Father Charles Angcll, associate director, Graymoor Ecumenical Institute. Those are among the first 40 names affixed to the ad. As these pacifists and disciples of brotherhood call for recognition of the PLO and the seating el its delegates at a peace conference, one is tempted to ask them-a few questions: Have they forgotten that ignoble day in 1974 when Yaslr Arafat, leader of the most u n p r i n c i p l e d gang of terrorists the modem world has ever known, a pistol bolster on his hip, swaggered to the podium of the world organization that had been founded to try to keep the. peace and spread world-wide goodwill? Have they forgotten that this man and his followers have not only admitted but have boasted that they were responsible for the kiiiing of innocent athletes at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, the blowing up of planeloads of unlnvolved travelers; the bombing of schoolrooms full of small children; the planting of

' Have they ignored the fact that these terrorists have,, violated the prlnlcples of both Judaism and Christianity? Can it possibly be argued that men capable of such defiance of the fundamental rules of civilized behavior should be welcomed by their victims to a conference table where they, will play an in> portant If not the dominant role in deciding tfce future of •• the victims' country? Are they not aware that Arafat and other PLO spokesmen, up until now, have reiterated in press, radio and television interviews, in this country and in Europe, their unwavering determination to bring about the utter destruction, of the-State of Israel? , Surely there must be a better answer—a better "new alternative"—than merely to Invite a band of terrorists to lake part in the dismemberment of a nation which in its original incarnation gave t h e w o r l d the f i r s t monotheistic religion' and later the godhead of that other religion which for almost 2,000 years has preached pacifism, brotherly love and "suffer little children to come unto me."

JERUSALEM h The effort of the contraceptive pill on babies whose mothers continue to take the pill without realizing that they are pregnant is now being studied by Hebrew * University ; scientists. The three-year study is supported by a $93,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare. The Jerusalem study, the only one of five outside the U.S., is of particular significance in view of i be h e t e r o ge no u s background of the women interviewed and because the study is based on a total - population.

For 4 Generations

Davjes,

professor of medical ecology at the Hebrew UniversityHadassah Medical School. Since the start of the project In November, 1974, approximately 6,500 pregnant women in the Jerusalem area have been interviewed, with an additional 8,500 to go. Up to , now, the team has analyzed the findings of the first six months of the study, concerning 1,700 births. "The results so far are very preliminary", Prof. Davies said. "But indications are that we may have one or two more cases than expected of abnormalities in babies whose mothers continued to take the pill." Prof. Davies emphasized, however, that these numbers are so small that they are insignificant statistically. :> "What we are looking for are things which are fairly, rare: The new problem of medicine these days are side effects of drugs which, though rare, become important when thousands of people take -them.

Prof. Davies went ontosay that obstetricians have reported in medical . publications that they have patients who bad been taking the pill in the beginning of their pregnancy without taffsring they were pregnant . and whose babies were malformedT *

There's just no other coffee that "belongs" like Maxwell House" at the Seder. Because Maxwell House* is and has been the Passover Coffee for over half a century. In fact back in the early 1920's, Maxwell House* was the one and only coffee certified Kosher L'Pesach—The Original Passover Coffee! Always rich and ^mellow tasting, always cheering, always "good to the last drop!" Why not have a fresh made cup right now? Instant or Regular Maxwell House* Coffee.

The probtem is that 3.5 per cent of. babies are born with mild malformations and-3.2 per- cent with severe malformations. If half of all women have taken the pill at some time, one can expect that some of them who are going- to have malformed babies also took the pill during early pregnancy. Is this a esLieldenee -orJs there a causative effect?

BY an overwhelming majority, the UN General Assembly last week carried a resolution condemning Zionism as "a form of racism and race discrimination." This decision has led to angry denunciations of UNO by some western groups. UNO's1 condemnation of Zionism is, however, far from being an isolated one. This year alone Zionism has been condemned by the OAU summit In Kampala, by the non-aligned countries' foreign ministers' conference in Lima, the UN world conference marking International Women's Year held in Mexico City, and by other international forums. .

He has met and become personally acquainted with many of the sports luminaries who have become legends in . their own time. As a result of his contacts and experiences with these American sports idols, he has written a book titled "Superstars" - the behindthe-scenes stories of 280 great athletes, which is published by Derblbooks. Several of the legendary figures covered are of the Jewish faith, and Frank has many yarns on each of them.

Once again Litsky brings out the fact that Spitz's great performance was marred by his words when he was asked before the Olympics how be, a Jew,'felt in Germany. Spitz responded, "Actually I have always liked this country even though this lampshade is probably made out ot one of my aunts."
