abroad, and who is considered the greatest expert in that field, declared in an interview In Maariv that he foresees a series of Arab terror attacks in the near future on different Israeli institutions abroad. "All who deal with these institutions should be fully prepared for such a possibility," he warned. He stressed that he is basing his evaluation on information which he had gathered. In the same interview, be gave a breakdown of the terror groups. They total approximately 9,000 to date, but they have many more who sympathize with them and help them. The largest group consists of Arafat's Fattah which «Hjnts some 6,000 terrorists, The second in size is the Syrian supported Assaka which has 1,300 men. The George Habash group consists of 400 members while some other splinter terrorist groups count their adherents in the 20's.

JERUSALEM (ZINS) t h e American architect Jack Shapiro, who is a new immigrant to Israel, declared in an interview in the weekly Chotem that almost all American architectural companies have bowed to the demands of the Arab boycott even if it is not to their liking. If they do not observe the rules, they lose the business of the Arab countries. The companies are obliged to sign a document declaring that they have no connection with Israel. Are the Jewish architects helpless against the boycott? According to Mr. Shapiro the problem is complicated by the fact that the ^declarations to the Arab countries are given in secret. He gives a case of a Jewish architect who was fired as an example. The unemployed architect sued his company for discrimination but the owners gave him a large sum of IBM Unites money to buy his silence. •" This practice is current in NEW YORK (ZINS) - The other similar cases where the Jews and Arabs have been Jewish architects accept the united by IBM - at least on restitution and do not raise paper — with a typewriter anyrow. that writes in both Hebrew Mr. Shapiro notes: "The and Arabic.

WASHINGTON (JTA) - A four-day conference sponsored by the American Association for Jewish Education dosed here with Use endorsement of a long-term experimental program aimed at educating Jewish families to prevent their isolation from Jewish institutions and Judaism .itself and thereby to preserve the Jewish Identity of the younger generation. The Conference on Jewish Family Education, the first of Its kind since 1970, drew some 300 delegates from 56 communities in the United,States and Canada. The participants included representatives of 18 national and local Jewish bodies, including federations, social service agencies and bureaus of Jewish education. It was chaired by Arthur Brody, president of the Jewish Community Federation of Metropolitan New Jersey. The problem was stated at the opening session by Dr. Daniel Thursz, executive vice-president of B'nal B'rith, who warned that exhorting Jewish parents from the pulpit or. other community forums "to do what they have no skills or knowledge to accomplish is a destructive approach."

their professional competence nor style that is the, basis for failures in the present system of Jewish education but rather the structure and timing." Rabbi Harold Schulwels, Of Los Angeles, warned that any program of education directed towards the Jewish family "must pay attention to the. nature of the discontent of the Jewish middle dass" which "these days seeks to find a n s w e r s in e n c o u n t e r movements." Schulwels said that the problem was not that Jews oppose religiosity or assimilate but one of middle class reaction to a "psychological revolution" that h a s a f f e c t e d the American middle dass, lndudlngJews. jb Beyond the "public agenda" directed toward the quality of Jewish communal life, the Jewish community must now contend with a "hidden, private agenda" in which the individual's concerns for personal satisfaction are influencing his life-style, Schulwels said.

The Jewish group succeeded In winning a high court injunction, preventing their festivities from being excluded from the university premises. .'Nevertheless, the Israeli program was not completed without mishap. Despite the high court decision, the students union banned a lecture by,.P local raWI because of what the Arabs had termed "p. jvocat/.e and racist" remarks the previous day by Yaakov Morris, an Israeli

The weekend of July 16-17 has been set aside for a dinner and public reception. f- The teacher will travel many miles to be here. The students are making every effort to make this occasion a very special one. Although this writer does not know Judah Wolfson — we. are impressed with the love and devotion tendered by some of his former students. This cheder class has learned its lesson well.

HAIFA-A thrilling and deeply moving story, which began in a little village in Germany more than 60 years ago, cameto-its climax here in Haifa not long ago. It Is the story of a wimpel which found its home at last. For those who don't know, a wiropel is the length of cloth' usedtobind the Torah scrolls tightly together when they are closed. Among many German families it was a custom to make a wimpel of the swaddling cloth worn by a baby boy fit the time ol Ms circumcision. Suitably embroidered and decorated, it is then presentedto(he synagogue. When a boy was born into the Zimdorf family In the town of Walbstadt in Bavaria, east of Heidelberg, In 1915, the proud parents followed the custom. The wlmpel carried the proper date, and bore the wish. In. colorful letters, that young Moshe, son of Eliezer Zlmdorf, should grow up to a life of Torah, happy marriage and good deeds, amen. The small Jewish community gradually disintegrated as families left. The Torahs and

o t h e r s y n a g o g u e appurtenances were transferred to the house of worship in nearby Neckarblscliofshelm. And on that infamous night of November 9, 1938, the synagogue in that town, together with hundreds ot others all over Germany, was burned to the ground. A few neighbors, shocked by the event, tried to rescue some of the holy belongings, and secretly passed them on the Jewish refugees who carried

them to Holland. The wimpel was only a dirty strip of cloth, but It was preserved, , On another continent Dr. Karl Darmstadter began to gather historical mementoes for an exhibit at the Jewish C o m m u n i t y Center In Washington and the wimpel was sent to him as a curipsity. It was washed anil pressed and put under glass as a memorial to a community and a family, now vanished,

Nor is it important that the President blundered when he referred to Assembly" recommendations as" Security Council decisions or that a subsequent White House "clarification" inaccurately spoke of ~ ;{|j8"rigfct"sfPs!estir.!»a2iaahame!and. ,•__ What is depressing is that the President has Intoxicated Jubilant Arab leaders into multiplying their price for peace. He would reward the Arabs who warred against Israel, requiring besieged Israelis to compensate them. . 'The Arab diplomats fought and nullified ^Tpthresdlutions which Carter now invokes on •4 their, behalf.

"It would be ridiculous to permit Colonel' Nasser to pose as the innocent victim of aggression," The New York Times editorialized in bitter Indictment on Nov. 1, 1956. And Walter Uppmann wrote: "To Ignore the Egyptian raids andtotreat Israel as If It were the aggressor and Egypt as If It were the Innocent victim . . . was a grave mistake In policy, indefensible in principle and, in fact, entirely unrealistic.'1

June XI, 1877

Diamonds Are A r Boy' s Best Friend lifetime. The Natanya Day Center has Introduced a course that is unique in Israel, the leaching of diamond polishing and cutting as a school subject, until now. Israel a wilitiiiK tw icSiTO tb£3c very lucrative crafts have had to be apprenticed and to learn on the job. Established about three years ago, the Natanya course is training 48 boys a year — and the diamond industry is waiting to snap them up as they qualify.. Cutters and polishers earn from 1400 io *i,600 a month, according to individual skill and industry. These jobs are among the few in Israel which are paid on an output basis. Considering that almost all the children in the course are school dropouts and are usually from large families living in deprived areas, this potential earning power is little short of miraculous. The Natanya Day Center consists of two divisions: one strictly Orthodox and the other non-Orthodox, each having 150 students. Gideon Ariel), the Director, says that the Center serves Natanya and the surrounding region. Unlike Youth Allyah children's villages, there are no residents, but the children receive two meals a day. Youth Aliyah Centers are designed for children who cannot acquire education in the usual way. Students learn conventional school subjects at an easier pace, with more indlvidualized instruction. In addition,' they learn vocational skills. "Above all," says Ariel! thoughtfully, "I think we encourage them to be self-reliant, self-respecting citizens." /Always flexible hi its approach to education. Youth Aliyah searches constantly for new courses, to provide its wards with skills and to meet the needs of the country. In retrospect it is surprising that the diamond trade was never introduced before. , Israel is the world's leading producer of polished gem stones: in 1974, net exports reached a record $562.4 million, earning the country a net $120 million. A massive new Diamond Exchange Is being added to the 22-story Exchange already built in Ramat Can. When it is completed, Israel will be the world's largest diamond trading center. The Industry employs 15,000 cutters and polishers. How this industry — so far away from the lands where diamonds are found and the affluent countries where they are bought — came to Palestine, is paradoxical. Adqlf Hitler was responsible. When the .Nazis drove out the Jewish,djamond dealers, cutters, polishers and other experts, from Antwerp arid • Amsterdam, many of them made their way to Tel Aviv. Immediately after the State was formed, it was still uncertain

In the Youth Allyah Natanya Educational and Vocational Education Day Center, a new discovery ha* been made — diamonds can also be the best Iriend of boys from deprived homes.

Therefore, the practice of contraception (or convenience or trMMTftc reasons would generally be prohibited.

At least (our methods of contraception are described In Ihe literature, i.e., the safe period (Niddah Mb), abortive movement* following cohabitation (KTubot S7a), oral con; traceptlon (VBamot 65b) and the use of soroe_abtorpUve material CBamotUb). • The Talmud permits three types of women to use some absorptive material as a method of contraception, i.e., a minor, a pregnant woman and a woman who is nursing.

Among the later legal authorities a woman Is permitted to use diaphragm where the pregnancy that would result without contraception would result.in a hazard to Ihe woman's health.

Natanya, Israel - Diamond* are this boy's best friend — Fifteen-year-old Jacob who is one of 11 children of an immigrant Libyan family, dropped out of school but is acquiring much needed skills In diamond cutting and polishing at Youth Aliyah Day Center hers. He aiss eosiisues his education with Individualized instruction toward making him a fully rounded citizen. Hadassah is the single largest contributor to the Youth Aliyah child rescue and rehabilitation movement whether Israel would get the quota of diamonds needed to turn a flourishing but small industry into a great one. Fortunately the Diamond Syndieate, which controlled the supply, was sympathetic and'gave the new State a fair allowance. One of the difficulties about establishing a diamond cutting and polishing school Is that the occupation is so lucrative that a skilled man earns more by working than by teaching. The Natanya Center was fortunate to find Zvi Klein, a man highly skilled in all aspects of the industry, with a passion for teaching. • Klein says, "I get a great thrill, from teaching.jt Is very rewarding wjjen these children from deprived homes come to me and say, 'NoWw we're just as good as children from well-off homes whb come from the top schools.' " Kleln.polnls out that diamond workers do not need to be welleducated, just motivated and Industrious. The diamond school has five cutting benches and four polishing benches. The children learn both theory and practice about the world's most precious crystal. "The object of diamond cutting and polishing'is two-fold," Bays Klein. "The student must learn to get the maximum out of each stone — to cut the minimum — and, at the same time, to bring out the inner fire and beauty of the stone." There are different cuts, such as Ihe American cut, which have to be learned for different markets. The work demands meticulous application, endless patience, a steady hand and a keen eye. The students work on models and on real stones, provided by the Israel Diamond Institute;
