Will we remember? is the theme, sometimes presented in skits and torchlight processions, silent reflections and candlelight readings. You are Impressed and moved. The most Important thing that makes this a Jewish camp is living in a Jewish community among Jews. .The Jewish values are interwoven here: respect for life, how to treat oneself and others, a sense of community responsibility, a respect for learning and for the different views of others. In other words, part of the preparation necessary to live In an adult Jewish community.
Jewish Quiz Box
A third century scholar in the Talmud explained that a sinner who confesses his sin and repents changes the character of his sin from intentional wrong-doing to unintentional transgression. Another statement In the Talmud states that in some cases confessing a sin converts it from an act of evil, to a deed of virtue. Tbe difference between the two result! depends upon whether the confession was made out of fear or out of love to the Almighty. One of the Hasidic scholars claims that by confession a person breaks the bold of the evil intent and inclination so that be can proceed inlifewith a clear conscience and a free will. The Talmud (Shabbos 32: A) calls for confession on the part of a sick person who is near death. Confessions are also offered on Yora Kippur—the Day of Atonement — and by bride and groom before the wedding ceremony lakes place. . Short confessions are part of the daily prayer services. Tbe forgiving agent, of course, is the Almighty Himself who has taught man the art of confession so that he can face the reality of life without any'mental complications. .

May 14,1976 *•»*> Klutznick Discusses Fundraising In Vital Issues' BBYO Booklet
WASHINGTON - "There Is no justification (or a Jewish Federation or fundraising organization that is identified as Jewish to raise monies for non-Jewish purposes," according io Phiiip M. Klutz' nick, honorary president of B'nai. B'rith and chairman of the Governing Board of the World Jewish Congress. Klutznick expressed this and other views in a provocative new booklet published by the B'nai B'rith Youth Organization under the title, "Vitalr Issues in the Jewish Community." In discussing the subject of fundraising for non-sectarian causes, Klutznick added that "It is appropriate and desirable for Jews as individuals to participate hi the overall fundraising activities of the community." He predicted that "the movement of the government toward a national health program will of necessity diminish the extent of Jewish -participation in the support of hospitals, medical schools and similar services." Klutznick felt that eventually Jewish institutional .support for vocational services will decline, However, he wrote, "I cannot foresee, the day when there will no '•longer, be either special standards or a special set of needs which non-Jewish social service agencies will be able to provide." Referring to fundraising practices in the Jewish community, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations stated that "I detest some of the things we are compelled to do to make both ends meet or at least not to fall

too far short of meeting our fundraising goals. " T h e philosophy of Maimonldes may have worked in a less complex society . . . Until a different day comes, the choice between high-powered Salesmanship, with some of the approaches we do not like, and the Malmonjdes approach, which I endorse, could result in the failure of Jewish organizational and communal life. If we have to choose for (be moment, and I belive we do, I will take the sordid aspects of high-powered fundraising as against the decline and disappearance of essential institutions in our communal life." Klutznick felt that the question of domination by the few in the distribution of Jewish community funds is largely a carry-over from yesterday. "I believe we have made some progress In reducing the special influence of the large givers," be wrote. "There are more large givers and they .do not always agree: And, perhaps more significantly, the large givers of today are more attuned to the democratic environment in which welive." In discussing the question of priorities in allocations, the

AIPAC: Working for Us (Continued from Page 1) "Vp answer half truths with truths," Roaenbaum said AIRAC's past record Is an admirable one. This Jewish lobbying organization has helped to win military credits and. grants * which enable Israel to maintain the arms balance and deter war.

AIPAC has been responsible for the passage of legislation -to combat Arab boycotts and Arab discrimination against' tbe Americans, on the basis ol race or religion.

This year, AIPAC appeared before three Congressional Committees urging full funding of $2.3 billion for Israel.

Today, AIPAC must continue to counter a well-funded antiIsrael propaganda campaign and the distortions in the 'media. ;' AIPAC needs support from American Jews in every 'community across the nation to carry on its educational and political work.

Nebraska Furniture Mart reopened its store at 700 South 72nd Street. on May l, according to Norman Batt, secretary-treasurer. Reconstruction of the store, which was damaged In last year's tornado, has "permitted the enhancement of the beauty of the structure and will better show the beauty of the merchandise", Batt said, adding that the interior changes will also facilitate the. movement of customers through the store.
