Open Camp Camp. Esther K. Newman will hold Its annual Open Camp on Sunday, May 29 from Ito4p.m. Boating and horseback riding are Just a couple of the activities In which the entire Family can participate. In addition, families wUI be able to see all the work and clean-up that thas been going on in camp since early spring.

Wouldn't it be nice if one day we could have a * theatrical presentation involving Jewish content and Jewish players? Well that day is now. At long last, the Center Stage will take on a uniquely Jewish look with its production of "The World of Sholom Aleichem.!1 There will be six performances, May 7 through May 15, and the problems involved in producing the play have been difficult to overcome. For example, because of Daylight Saving Time, the Sabbath comes to a close after 9 p.m.; therefore, the Center Stage Saturday evening performances begin at 9:30 p.m. — not a typical starting time for theatergoers. But, Sholom Aleichem himself would have been proud of the Center Stage solution: turn a negative into a positive—by offering "Candlelight, wine and flute duets" before the Saturday night performances. Your hosts for the first pre-theater celebration are Mrs. Bella Eisenberg, Mrs. and Mrs. Millard Seldin, and Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Osten. Remember: The same rich vein of Jewish folklore from which came the great prize-winning musical comedy hit, "Fiddler on the Roof," has provided the material for the Center Stage's next attraction.

'Happiness is Hawaii Preview Set May 18 A new concept In adult programming has been initiated by an ad hoc committee headed by Saranne Gltnlck. The purpose of the committee is to plan a major event each year under the auspices of the Jewish Community Center.

New Movie on Polish Ghetto '• NEW YORK-An East German movie, "Jacob The Liar," one of the five top candidates for this year's foreign-language Academy Awards, recently opened in New York. . The movie tempers the terrible terrors of World War II In the Nazi-occupied, Polish ghetto with humor, through the principal character of Jacob Heyra, who overbears a radio communique in local Gestapo headquarters about Russian victories in the vicinity. Jacob passes tbe happy news to other Jews, stating with underplayed pride that he heard It on his own clandestine radio. His neighbors, clinging to this newly found promise of deliverance, resort to demanding more news daily, and Jacob is forced to invent It. Vtorttaiil Brodsky plays the part of Jacob Heym, and Erwin Gescbonaeck (in above movie scene as Kowalskl, the barber) backs him up by playing the perfect foil for his tall tales. (RNS r Photo)

A Fair Exchange

HAIFA - r •) lightened'' social welfare K.iic/ has long -since determined, 4hat orphanages do not provide the best environment (or the rearing of children. Almost everywhere" in the western world such institutions have been closed down, and the children are reared in the warmth of foster homes, In a family environment. Even the most luxurious and best operated . institution cannot provide the love which children require at a tender age. Belatedly, the authorities in Israel have come to the same conclusion but it is not easy to put an end to the orphan asylums which have for so long flourished thanks to the response of warm and generous Jewish hearts. Two years ago the Ministry of Welfare decided on drastic steps to close down the orphanges, one by one, and to place the youngsters with

families. ' Jews overseas have been a rich source of support for Israel's orphanages, the real ones and the false ones. It takes little more than a skillfully worded circular letter, a mailing list of generous Jews (easily acquired), and an orphanage is in business. In recent years Israeli authorities have uncovered numerous fraudulent appeals. One ambitious Tel Aviv couple flooded the United States with letters for a children's home named "Neemanei Israel" Israel's Faithful Ones. The venture was halted by the police.

AidtoNeedy Children in the Holy Land produced a trickle of dollars some of which went to church institutions — the rest to the organizers' pockets. In. Jerusalem there are several genuine orphanages which have been in existence for yean, and their names have become lengendary. Their facilities and'furnishings may be modern, but the philosophy of rearing orphans there is no different from What It was in the 19th century. .

That Day at the UN Byl.L.Kenen •torn, tatm Cawtua ot Dm N U T Eut Riport otauaaiU about lt» mala. WrtU him I I no N«I I M M l m m M « H WMWmunDC WHS.

On April 26, the people of Israel celebrated the29th anniversary of the establishment of the Jewish state, according to the Hebrew calendar, reviving memories of that extraordinary day at the United Nations in Flushing Meadow. Early in the morning, Israel's leaders confirmed that the state would come into existence at « p.m. New York time, when the British Mandate for Palestine was scheduled to expire. But, in New York, the Assembly was preoccupied with a long and tedious debate on a resolution which authorized the dispatch of a mediator—all that was left of the incredible U.S. proposal to reverse its support for Partition and the establishment of a UN trusteeship. Arab diplomats filibustered msot of the day, presumably believing that if the UN took no action before 6 p.m., the Arabs would inherit Palestine from the British. • Nothing exists unless it is recognized, British philosopher Bishop Berkeley once wrote in his ..Theory of Vision. And so all that day the Jewish Agency's UN delegation was busily pointing out to all who would listen that Israel did exist and this was a fact which the world must recognize. All that day, this writer, as the Agency's information director, went from typewriter to typewriter, urging correspondents to change the name of Palestine to Israel. No one then dreamed that before the day would end Israel would be recognized by the world's most Important statesman. At 6:09 that evening, there came the dramatic four bells rignaiiing a news bulletin, and Pete Huss of INS came naming out with a dispatch. I broke into the GeneraMssembly carrying the news to the Jewish cheers, much to the astonishment of the Assembly. President Truman announced U.8. recognition of Israel. The angry Iraqi delegate was quick to demand an explanatln from the bewildered American delegation, whose leader, Sen. Warren Austin, had left the Assembly a few hours

before because the President had disclosed his intention to him. The Soviet Union followed Truman's lead two days later with de jure recognition of the new Jewish state. Truman took that action, despite Secretary of State George Marshall's threat to vote against him in the forthcoming national elections, voiced only three days earlier when Clark Clifford, Truamn's counsel, recommended recognition. ' The effect of Truman's action was dramatically evident the following morning at the UN Security Counsel. The Arab states had already invaded the nascent Jewish state, and this was clearly aggression. The new Israeli delegation went to Lake Success to file a formal complaint. But for the Arab states, the conflict was merely a civil war between two contending factions inside "Palestine." This was the line taken by the British' and their friends in the Security Council who withheld recognition of Israel. The. U.S. delegation spoke of the "Provisional Government of Israel." The British spokesman would not refer to Israel by name but Insisted on describing Its leaders as "the Jewish authorities of Tel Aviv." The split between Truman and his Department of State persisted for a long time and was manifested later that same year at Paris, when the U.S. delegation wanted to support the Bernadotte plan to sever the Negev from Israel but was overruled at the last moment by Truman. Because of the powerful influence of the British, few countries followed the U.S. example in 1948. And when, on the anniversary of the partition resolution, Nov. 29, 1948, Israel formally applied for admission to the UN, it would not muster the required votes. Despite the fact that the Soviet Union and the United- States were working harmoniously throughout the year, the two great powers were unable to command a majority for resolutions censuring Arab aggression. But after that session ended, recognitions began to pour In—and on May 11,1949 Israel finally became the 59th member of the United Nations.

'Donated Art May Be Loot AMSTERDAM, (JTA) - A 110 million collection of art and other valuables recently donated'to the University of Pretoria, South Africa by Jacob A. Van Tilbert, a Dutch national, may be loot taken by the Nazis from Jewish families during World War II. This possibility was brought to light by the Rotterdam daily, Algemeen Daglbad, which investigated Van Tilberg's activities In cooperation with the i Dutch correspondents of The Times of London,-the South African publication, "The Start," and a local newspaper in Dordrecht, Holland. Former members of the Dutch resistance in Dordrecht have brought charges against Van Tillberg who lived In that town south of Rotterdam before and during World War II and served as a municipal councilman and Alderman. He settled in South Africa in the 1950s The paper disclosed that Van Tilberg, a man of modest means, was found in possession of a vast art collection after the war. Interviewed in Pretoria, he said that be had received many art objects for safe-keeping during the German occupation of Holland which he returned later to surviving Jews who claimed them. The collection he presented to Pretoria U n i v e r s i t y reportedly consists of over 700O paintings, carpets and silver, and gold objects.

A Good Man from Riga ByDiriaEliash Still wary of hitch-hiking (remnants of my American past), I rarely venture Into this form of Israeli mass transportation. Last Friday, however, in a hurry to reach my destination before Queen Sabbath should empty the roads, I nodded "yes" to the questioning gesture of a truck driver on the Tel AvlvAshkelon highway. "Are you passing Kfar Silver?" I asked. He snouted something over the motor's roar and taking it for an affirmative answer, I climbed aboard. As the sand-filled truck fought to reach its proper speed, the driver and 1 struggled to find a common language. His Hebrew consisted of IS emergency words. After several attempts at "Poniemayu po Ruski?", "Parlez vous Francals?" and even a stab at English, we came to German, of which we both had only sketchy Ideas at best. Undaunted, we exchanged vital statistics, using hands, mime snd international words such as "aha! ", "oy-oy," "boom-boom," and "kvetch"; and when he asked how long it took me to leam my beautiful Hebrew, I became his life-long friend. My friend David Hallt - former Soviet citizen from Riga, now living in Holon — arrived in Israel six months ago with his wife and two sons. He is 47 years old and though licensed to drive anything on wheels, chose trucking as his share of building the country. "How do yo like Israel?" I asked the usual trite question. "It is mine," he replied. "Yes, but how do you like it?" ' "It's like asking how I like my family - 1 can only say: It is mine." "How did you manage to get out of Russia?" His face took on a expression. of a mischievous child: "Ob, they got tired of my singing.". "Areyou a singer?", He laughed: "Among other things." '^Well, you're certainly a driver," I said, admiring the ease and expertise with which he coaxed the heavy truck around a sharp corner. "A driver too," David smoothed his hair in . an unconscious gesture of pride, the Eastern equivalent of the Westerner's straightening of his tie. "But it was my singing that got us out."

•.••;••..-• -

"How?" David shifted into low gear, as if taking a .deep breath forthe plunge into h a past: "People knew me. I had been singing for many years. During the war, when I was a

soldier in the Red Army {no shame in-that, we were fighting the Nazis then) I sang for my comrades whenever there was time to feel sad. When I returned to Riga, I sang the glory of Stalin..." "You see," David returned to me with a puzzled look "in those days I believed everything: that I was a Russian; that being a Jew made no difference; that those who "disappeared" were bad people who had to be punished—I had to believe, or else the march to Berlin and the years of'hard work for nothing would have made no s e n s e . . . And so I kept singing. There were concerts and festivals and it was good to see my name on posters — it was good to receive decorations and awards. I gave them all back before I left, but I still have photographs." David was silent. He produced a lunch-box containing several well-stuffed sandwiches. We ate and his mood improved. He continued: "I had to believe in the regime — without faith I could not have gone on living, "Then one day, the Soviet government brought the Jewish doctors to trial oh false accusations.' Shortly after that, Khrushchev blurted out some of the truth about Stalin's prison camps. I was stunned. It was then that I realized that no matter what I did for my native country, I remained a Jew. For the first time since my parents and sisters were killed in the Rumbuli ghetto, I wanted to be a Jew. I began to sing Jewish songs — I sang what I felt, not what they wanted to hear. "Still, to be a Jew means to remember. I would never throw away my past: I was a good soldier, a good worker and a good singer — I am a good man." He uttered the last sentence gravely, without any conceit. "We heard Nachama Lifshltz. The struggle had begun. My brother wrote a Yiddish song. I sang and people came to listen. The secret police came also and said they'll let me go to Israel if I promised to shut up. Now I. sing here for those who are yet to come." v And David Halit sang. Schubert rose over the whine of the laboring truck, Mozart and a host of Latvian composers' music spilled through the windows into the sunset of Sabbath eve. In Russian Yiddish, German and Latvian, my friend David sang. His brother's song about the bird of freedom I took with me. to Kfar Silver, where — reluctantly — I gave my place to another hitchhiker, a tired 'soldier, who watched our leave-taking with a puzzled expression. I still wonder what repertoire David selected for his new audience.

Zionism: History and Ideology

Russian Jewish refusenike, who have been dismissed from their jobs because of their wish to emigrate. Begun's trial promises to be the first of several show trials, examples with which the Soviets hope to intimidate the rest of the Soviet Jews. Begun, however, is not a very well-known figure in the West. His case, however, is extremely significant: it is the key with which the Soviet government hopes to unleash a new wave of Soviet Jewish persecution.

Home Sweet Home By David Schwartz (Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.) If you ask a Jew what Israel is for he will tell you that it is to normalize the Jewish position, to give him a country as other _, people have their countries. But in saying that, he is not really telling the whole truth. The prophets of old, spoke of Torah coming out of Zion. They saw Israel as a land of significance to the world as well as to the Jew and every Zionist in his heart Ehares some! hing of this same vision. Chaim Weizmann wrote that he saw "Zionism and science ss part of one organic whole." He saw the Torah of science going \ forth from Israel and the first thing he did on settling in Israel was to establish the research institution at Rehovot. Where else in the world do we find a people beginning their liberation by the establishment of a research institution? Meyer Weisgal helped Weizmann realize his great dream. He -. had been editor of The New Palestine, the American organ of the Zionist movement and when the Jewish State was established he left America to settle in Israel to help Weizmann fulfill his dream. ' Weisgal was no scientist, but the practical man needed to make the idea a reality. When Weisgal first arrived there were two or three buildings at Rehovot. Today there are so many, Weisgal admits, he sometimes gets lost there. It is one of the great scientific centers. Weisgai possesses a rare quality which enables him to extricate surplus wealth for good causes. Saul Bellow's recent book about Israel tells a typical anecdote about Weisgal. Once after a session with Weisgal, a rich man took out a check book' and wrote a check for $25,000. Weisgal took the check and tore it up. "The meal has already been paid for," he said. Weisgal was one of the relatively few Americans who left for Israel after the establishment of the State. After all, America was a Promised Land too. If all the world had been like America, perhaps a Jewish State might not have been so necessary. Weisgal had a vision of greater usefulness there, but his attachment to America was strong. Bellow tells us that it is still strong. A hankering for it has never left him. ' " " - . • We can understand his predicament. Another American Jew ' who left for Israel about the same time as Weisgal was Gersbon Agronsky, of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. He went to Jerusalem where he established the English language newspaper, the Palestine Post, now the Jerusalem Post. One day a former, co-worker named Johnson, we believe, who had worked with Agronsky for a time on the New York World, visited Agronsky in Jerusalem. • , "Don't you miss'New York," asked Johnson. "Sure," replied Agronsky, "but what shall I do, go to New York and long for Jerusalem or stay in Jerusalem and long for • N e w Y o r k ? "

Agronsky stayed in Jerusalem and later was chosen Mayor of Jerusalem. ; Old home ties are not easy to throw off. Weizmann was always talking about little Memel-the town of 400 in which be was born. He used to say that all be knew about statesmanship and diplomacy he had learned In Memcl. ~ Remember that song by John Howard Payne: Mid pleasures and palaces '~ Though we may roam 1 Be it ever so bumble 'V .

Payne was half Jewish and must have heard his mother telling about "in der helm." <• What Jew of immigrant parents has not beard about "hi der 'helm" ip Russia, they had nothing, but still they cannot forget it. •: The childhood memories are ever with us.

Court Completes Hearings On Sabbath Job Protection Arguments were completed at the end of March in the United States Supreme Court on what may be the first definitive test case of the constitutionality of the federal law which requires employers t o " r e a s o n a b l y accommodate" to the religious practices of an observant employe or prospective employe.

The high court has a number of options, in addition to specific rulings of approval rejection, and a definitive Jewish History or ruling Is not a certainty. Quiz Answers Kwestel said the Issues '•- ' •;•"• voi before the Supreme Court in the Hardison case are whether s 'oi 'o c -a z 'a i the First Amendment's ban on establishment of religion Is

violated by requiring employers to accommodate to an employe's religious observance, and whether an employer and a union are obligated, singly or together, to work out a way to permit the observant employe's employment in spirit of provisions of the union's contract. A Federal District court upheld Hardlson's dismissal on grounds that an employer could refuse to accommodate to a worker's religious needs if that employer's contract with a union provides for shift assignments on the basis of seniority and if, the union refused to set aside such contract provisions to accommodate the observant employe. . .> Later, a Federal Appeals court reversed this ruling and sustained Hardison's claim of discrimination. COLPA attorneys assisted Hardison's attorneys In the appeals court. The alrlln> and the Internat l o n a r A s s o c i a t l o n of Machinists then appealed to the Supreme Court. .COLPA said the challenge to the constitutionality of the law was based mainly on a threepart "test" developed by the Supreme Court in the cases involving public aid to religious schools. In those-.cases, tile

court held that, to be constitutional, a law mutt have a secular purpose, must not have the primary effect of advancing religion, and must not "excessively entangle" government with religion. The COLPA brief-and Lewin In his appearance before the court—while contending that the accommodation measure does not violate these conditions, argues that those conditions are "simply inadmissable" when a governmental agency is not granting benefits or setting up a special 'program, and is only acting "reasonably" -to shield religion and its practitioners from the effects which would—in the absence of such protection-infringe religious belief or practice." COLPA contended the the constitutional test "should be whether the means Is legitimately and rationally calculated to achieve the permissible end." •

On the issue of whether provisions of a union contact could preclude a duty to ac- commodate, Lewui argued that "the legal obligation on an employer and a union Is to engage in hiring practices which will not have the effect of excluding religious believers on account of their religious practices."
