World News Briefs Jews Collect LONDON (ZINS) - There is at leat one place in the world other than the State of Israel where one has reason to bemoan the fact that one is not Jewish. And that place is England, where a timehonored ordinance closes all shops on Sunday. However, Jewish shopkeepers are exempted from this ban because (hey close on Saturdays to observe their sabbath, and are therefore allowed to stay open on Sundays to compensate for the loss of a day's trade. Now it just works out to their advantage, since Sunday is a

A prominent British merchant, one MacRobertson, did make a public statement that he and his entire entourage of 200 employees were prepared to convert to Judaism — whether in jest or earnest is not clear, However the reaction from the chief rabbinate office was swift and uneqivocal. Nothing doing! One could also safely surmise that the rabbis were outraged at the suggestion that their religion should be exploited for profit.

The Shocking Weeklies It is deplorable to see that American publications, notably Time and Newsweek, have cover stories damning Menachem Begin as a "terrorist" guilty of shocking crimes against civilians in the days when Israel was fighting against the British Mandatory regime. It should be emphasized that Begin's war was against the British rulers, who had doomed hundreds of thousands of Jews to Hitler's death camps by barring Palestine's doors. '''These invectives against Begin contrast sharply with the irresponsible adulation for Arafat, whose followers waged war against Jewish children and American diplomats, not against the Israeli army.

Histadrut Elections May Determine Policies HAIFA — With one major election behind . (hem, the Israel electorate is now completing a short but vigorous campaign for its second election, to be held on June 21, at which time members will choose the governing bodies of the Histadrut, Israel's General Federation of Labor. More than a million men and women, over 80 percent of the working population, belong to the Histadrut, which has often been" called a government within the government. It Is the most powerful organization In the country. It is a labor union, but it is alot more. It owns and operates many of the country's largest economic enterprises. It has a controlling voice in any economic policy undertaken by the Government. In the earlier days there was
a closely interlocking direct tui'ate between the Histadrut and the Government, and both spoke with the same voice. Through the years the Laborcontrolled government felt called upon to espouse economic policies not always acceptable to the trade union wing of the Union, and differences of opinion became more and more frequent. The Histadrut had originally been the exclusive bailiwick of
the Labor parties, but in recent years other political parties also organized within its ranks. In the lost elections, held September, 1973, three months before the national polls, the results were as follows: Labor, 58.3 percent; Likud, 22.74 percent: Liberals, 5.97 percent; Religious Workers, 4.26 percent; Communists, 2.41 percent; The balance was scattered among splinter groups.

If you want to know more about the Land of Israel movement which ideologically con, forms with the Likud Party's philosophy, you might read Israel Divided, a scholarly and . timely analysis by Rael Jean Isaac. She reports bow after the Six-Day War, scholars; generals, poets and intellectuals divided into two factions: the Land of Israel movement, which insisted that the West Bank and Gaza — but not Sinai —'was Israel's Biblical heritage and must be settled and not relinquished; and the various Peace movements, which did not unite cohesively ' but insisted that Israel must make farreaching territorial concessions to assure the Arab states of Israel's peaceful intentions. Neither party achieved its own seats in the Knesset but both, in the author's view, were able to influence policy. The government permitted settlements in the West Bank and Golan Heights (44 by 1973) while ; .simultaneously agreeing to partial retreat for a qualified peace. And both parties, she points out,.could claim vindication for their positions after the Yom Kippur War. The first could argue that the refusal meant buffer zones, which had reduced casualties; the second could claim that there would have been no war if its advice had been followed. While Isaac did not predict a Likud victory, .she tvmtgtufa that the Peace Movement suoplied the ideological basis for public acceptance of an imposed settlement, which could eventually undermine Israel's capacity to survive. The 1973 war did not produce new converts i s existing movement* but rattier protest
The goal of the Lftudis to capitalize en the momentum of their great success in last month's national elections, and if not to capture control of the Histadrut, at least reduce Labor below Its absolute majority and compel it, for the first time in Histadrut history, to seek coalition parnters in order to retain its supremacy. The Likud image as an antiLabor party'has been considerably diminished. Indeed, much of Begin's support last month came from the ranks of organized labor. Labor, on the other hand, is battling for its life. It sees in the Histadrut an effective' weapon to blunt the Likud Government and check all attempts at economic capaign advertising haswarned that ' 'the new politifal forces which are openly striving to undermlem uproot and dismantle the principles for which the Histadrut stands, are becoming stronger and are . . . becoming a danger to the progrcssof organized labor."

Havurot Members are Strongly Committed ByBeaGalio6 Jt«MlTMtgn*McAtmc;,Uic.
A study of families organized into havurot — fellowships — in six Reform congregations In New England indicates that such fellowships attract congregants whose strong Jewish motivation Is a key factor In their decision to Join such a group. The study also showed that "rather than being a social outlet (or fringe members" of the congregation, the havurah "Is more an opportunity for mainstream synagogue members to give expression to Jewish interests, apparently not sufficiently responded to by the existing synagogue program and style of operation," Dr. Bernard Relsman, associate professor in Jewish c o m m u n a l s e r v i c e at Brandels University, reported. Dr. Relsman is also associate director of the Philip W. Lown Graduate Center for contemporary Jewish studies at Brandels. Havuran groups within congregations are distinct from fellowships organized outside the synagogue, many by coll e g e students, notably . Mavaruh Shalom, organized in the Boston area In 1968, a , commune-style group of graduate students and young adults, which currently has 20 to 25 members.' Dr. Relsman declared that
the synagogue havurah was first introduced by Rabbi Harold Schulweis who organized fellowships in 1970 in Valley Beth Shalom in Encino, Calif. Dr. Reisman said that currently most of the 800 family members of that Conservative synagogue are participants In havurot. Dr. Reisman said two characteristics distinguish the havurah from traditional forms of organized Jewish life. One Is that the havurah operates autonomously without the presence of professional leadership. The members assume responsibility for planning and conducting their meetings, generally held in members' homes, or at least not in a for,mal organizational setting. The other is that there Is a "personalized flavor" in the style of operation of the havurah. Membership Is fixed. The social ties of members and -an "emerging sense of community" become Important sources of fulfillment for members, he reported. The Lown Center, in cooperation with the New England region of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, the association* of Reform synagogues, undertook In the fall of 1975 to o r g a n i z e h a v u r o t In synagogues. Six congregations Joined In the pilot pro-
ject. Dr. Relsman reported he and his graduate students worked with the rabbis and lay leadership of the six synagogues to form 41 havurot, serving more than 500 families. He and the s t u d e n t s p r o v i d e administrative and program guidelines for the havurot which are organized generally on the basis of family units, ranging in size from five to ten such families. The Reisman team also made a study of the characteristics and activities of the havurah members and of a' comparison sample of congregants who are not members of the fellowships. ' He reported that the havurot meet at least once a month some meet twice a month and one havurah meets. weekly. Most havurah meetings are oriented to husbands and wives, who join in selfdirected study programs on aspects of Jewish scholarship or contemporary Jewlsh'life. The full families - parents and children - assemble once a month, most' typically to

'Senior Citizen's Scene" By Helen Newman It was a great day for the Older Adult group at the JCC on Monday, June 6, when the , regular luncheon meeting was held. Mollle Delman was hack, as well as the others who made the trip to Las Vegas. All reported o glorious time and some a little richer. It had been several weeks since the group met at the "3" and it was a happy reunion for almost 150 members and guests.
Goldberg presided in the absence of Minnie Cutler. The hamotze was given by Milton Nearenberg and the benchen by Sam Freed, Out-of-town visitors were Paul Lelchook of St, Louis, Mo., guest of Julius Frooru; Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Taubof Los Angeles, guests of Gertrude Zorinsky; Sally (Mrs. Stanley) Mayper, of Ventura," CBMI.,:daughter of Dora Astor; and Beulah Wayne, Albuquerque, N. Mex., sister of Esther Hart.
Highlighting the program for the day was an extraordinary film presentation narrated by Dr. Milton Margolin. Dr,1 Milton and Ann visited the State of Israel in 1965 and 1971, before and after the Six-Day War, and it was most Interesting to view the beautiful color slides and comparisons. For those in attendance who had never been to Israel, it was an enjoyable experience and for those who had made the journey, there were fond memories — to relive the visit to the various places. The group was pleasantly surprised by a visit from Jan Sciwelderman, president of the Omaha Section National Council of Jewish Women. On behalf of the Council, who sponsor the Older Adult program along with the Jewish Federation, a check was presented to the group. Let us take this opportunity to thank the Council for the generous contribution. On M o n d a y , S y l v i a
Next Monday, June 13, Morrle Epstein has arranged a program featuring a musical presentation by Marsha Conroy of the "House of Music." Then on Monday, June 20, Morrie is bringing to our Father's Day party a "super surprise" — wait and see! Mollle Delman made the announcement of an upcoming trip to Sioux City, Iowa. This will take place on Tuesday, June 21. The trip Is the first one for the group to this city and Mollle has made some special arrangements to make the visit an enjoyable one; Cost will be $4 for the round trip — and reservations are being taken by Shirley Wagner 5564560 — on a firstcome first-served basis. Other, trips to other places are also planned. The programs at Beth El will continue on Thursdays — and remember the special bus on Mondays at the Crossraods Ua.m. - >• •• ' '-i.-,;
