The Senator was the fifth guest speaker of the 1976-77 Lecture Forum Series. He pointed out that there Is no substance to stories of
diminished U.S. support for Israel. "Our ties go beyond the dayto-day reports in the press," he said, adding, "We are linked to Israel emotionally, morally, and spiritually." The Senator asserted that it is much "too early" to come to conclusions about what Israel should or should not do. "President Carter is worried about inflexibility on the part of Israel while Israel is concerned about an Imposed settlement." He explained that both countries want a "real sense of peace" in the Mid-East with exchange of ambassadors, unlimited access, for - travel and free trade.

Shabbat dinner will be served in the Synagogue Social Hall following the lighting of Shabbat Caddies and the blessing of children, kiddush and hamotzi. The dinner is served family style and is followed by services in the sanctuary. , Beth El's Shabbat dinner program offers warmth and friendship to all members of the congregation. Shabbat Shalom.

Prof. Howard M. Sachar has won the Jewish Welfare Board Book Council's award for the best 1976 book about Israel for his monumental 835-page, "A History of Israel" (Knopf). It Is a comprehensive, In-depth study of major challenges: the political struggle, immigration and settlement, campaigns to win world statesmen and to unite world Jewry, the wars, the setbacks, the "pursuit of an elusive peace. All this Is more than a detailed recitation of dates and places. It is a sensitive psychologies! study of people and how and why they changed maps and minds, reacting to both victory and adversity. Sachar is not an apologist for Israel. He is an objective scholar ssA a cSndid critic He frankly points to failures, excesses and deviations, and there are few unblemished heroes. ' , He recalls the inability of early Zionists to perceive and court the Arabs until is was too late; Perhaps, as he suggests, any,such effort was ^doomed to failure because Faisal's .demand that Zionists join the Arabs against the Frerjcn in Syria "clashed with the an important British connection. I Sachar scrupulously avoids partisanship on Delr Yassln and Kfar Qaslm. He focuses on Israel's seul-sesring saar.dsls, like the Lavon .and Kastner affairs, "the miasma of confusion and deception" in the Yom Kippur War, the profligate patronage and dilution of the work ethic which preceded It. And he hails the gallantry and heroism of Israel's-army and nsvy whichturned disaster into victory.The encounter is meticulously reported as well as the War of Independence, the IsraeliBritish-French partnership In the Sirial Wary theSix-DayVVar.andtheWarofAttrition. . Stchar analyzes the perpetoai coariict with r Jewish orthodoxy, the perils of coalition rule, the endless debate on the meaning of Zionism,

In 1949-50 Israel's two universities, the Technion and the Hebrew University, had between them a total of 2,572 students.

It should be added that these figures do not include Israeli students studying abroad, And their number Is said to run Into several thousand. The degrees granted by the institutions of higher learning reflect the enrollment figures. In 1975 61.6 per cent of the bachelor degrees were to Judaism, humanities, social sciences and law. The "practical" subjects like engineering, architecture, sciences, mathematics, medicine and agriculture account for 38.4 percent. How many girls? in 1975 the young ladles were 58.1 per cent of the graduating class for first degrees In the humanities, but accounted for only 16.7 per cent of the doctorates. They were 75.6 per cent of the first degrees to language and literature and 53.8 percent of the doctorates. 28.1 percent of the bachelor of laws degrees went to women and 38.9 percent of the roaster degree to law. How many Scphardlm? There is great Interest to enrollment of young people from the eastern or Oriental communities. The statistics are not easy to come by, as increasingly the students, or their fathers, are bom to Israel. However, to 1974 15-5 percent of the students, or their fathers, were born to Asia or Africa. The percentage has been on a steadily ris; Ing trend. How big are the universities, to every sense? The figures show' that to 1976 the Hebrew University had 13,850 students, and a physical plant of 397,400 square meters. The Technion had 8,100 students to 172,700 square meters of building. Tel Aviv University had 12,250 students in 104,00 meters. Welzmann Institute had 550 students to 66,700 souare meters. "And finally, considering the crucial needs of the country, who specialized to what? If we combine enrollments In engineering, architecture, mathematics and science, we . find that the Technion awarded 92.4 percent ofits degrees in-ihese nelds; Ben Gurion University, 47.6 percent Hebrew University, 10.1 per cent and Tel Aviv University, i6.8percent. And in 1974 the total expenditure oh higher education to - Israel was 833- million Israel Pounds, roughly equivalent to 190,000,000 for the year. It was worth it.

Brzezinski (Continued from Page 1) ing on foreign policy jpatters and national security. Reacting to claims that Menacbem Begln's victory was due, In part, to (ears by the Israelis, that the United States was putting too much pressure on Israel, the foreign policy expert said that from all be has noted — Including Israeli public opinion polls — that "domestic issues and (act o n were the paramount reasons" (or Shimon Peres's defeat. Did Menacbem Begln's victory damage any chances (or peace in the Middle East? "The fundamental nature of United States-Israeli relationship was not affected," Dr. Brzezinski replied. "And the basic process of exploring what are conditions (or meaningful negotiations between the parties concerned has not been affected hi any serious fashion." Turning to the question of Begln's insistence on retaining the West Bank as a permanent part of Israel, Dr. Brzezinski said that Prime Minister Begin has indicated that he is approaching any possible negotiations on the basis of resolution No. 242 and that he has been very explicit on that. "As to what can be traded, and what can be negotiated, that remains to be seen," be added. "At this stage, neither side is prepared to be totally precise as to what it is willing
to negotiate and what it is not willing to negotiate." Contrary to fears of a U.S.Israeli confrontation, Dr. Brzezinski does not expect any sort of impasse between the President and the Prime Minister. "I don't think there'll be any confrontation because political leaders are accustomed to dealing with differences," he remarked. "Just because there are differences — even if they should prove to be not Just minor ones — that doesn't mean there has to be a confrontation. The United States-Israeli relationship is solid, it is based on historical experiences and moral principles. Therefore, It is strong enough to permit disagreements over specific Issues." One of those specific Issues Is a homeland (or the Palestinians. Asked for his definition of a homeland, Dr. Brzezinski answered: "We want to resolve the issue of the Palestinians In such a way that they don't become a political force dedicated to increasingly effective efforts to threaten Israel. Therefore, they have to have some sort of an arrangement within which they cart (eel at home. It would be more stable, and more acceptable If such an arrangement was related In some fashion to the Kingdom of Jordan." Dr. Brzezinski added that the matter of a homeland for the Palestinians has only now come to the forefront because almost 30 years ago the
HINKY DINKY D E L I . . .
Palestinians weren't "really a politically self-conscious force. Everyone now concerned recognizes that in one way or another, the Palestinians — as a political force — have to be dealt with one way or another, the Palestinians — as a political force — have to be dealt with in the course of the settlement." He related that former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin — when he was in the United States - had listed three issues that should be dealt with hi the context of a peace settlement (in the Mideast). "These are precisely the three Issues that we have been talking about — peace, security and territory, and the issue of the Palestinians," he said. Asked whether he expected the Israelis to agree to any type of Palestinian homeland except one that is contained within Jordan, Dr. Brzezinski said that that question is for the Palestinians and the Arabs to negotiate with the Israelis. He added that it Is (or the Israelis to negotiate as to what is more likely to endure, to be stable and to pose the least security threat to Israel. . "We (eel that any arrangement for the Palestinians will be better if It Involves some relationship with Jordan," he said. "Also, anything that is contrived for the Palestinians in that context ought to include extensive demilitarization.

Jewish Quiz Bbx ByRabbtSamueUFox QUESTION: What U the historical background of Uw Fast of the Ninth of AbT (Tisha B'ab-occurring this y e « o n July 17) AN8WEK: The Talmud (Taanlt vb) HsU live tragic events that occurred on that day in the annals of Jewish history. The Divine decree announcing that the Israelites of the desert wandering period would not enter the Promised Land themselves (only their chfldren would) was issued on this day. ' Both the first and second Temples In Jerusalem were destroyed on that day. The ill-fated revolution of Betar wound up hi defeat and destruction on that day. The city of Jerusalem was reduced Jo shambles on that day. Other sources bring additional events that characterized this day as a tragic one in Jewish history. • . .. ( ,,',, After hearing the reports of the scouts during their wandering In the desert, the Israelites began to wall and cry on that night, i.e., the night Of Tisha B'ab (Taanlt 29a, Numbers 14:1). It Is also said that the expulsion of the Jews from Spain took place on the day of Tisha B'ab. ' "•'•'" QUESTION: Now that Jerusalem is again in Jewish hands, sjwuid ' there still be a Fast Day observed on Tisha B'ab? ANSWER: There were some in Israel who raised this very question. However, the troubles and tragedies that the new State of Israel has endured in the course of its brief history convinced most people that the day of Jewish tragedy is far from over. .. Furthermore, the Jewish ideal concerning the city of Jerusalem is not just the physical existence of that city; nor is it th# political control Of the metropolis. It Is rather the Ideal of the city of peace and universal understanding that Is the goal of the settlement of Jerusalem. Such a condition has Indeed not been realized. Furthermore, the city la not complete without the rebuilding of the Temple oo the ancient site of ' the Temple Mount. This, too, is still a remote possibility. For these as well as other reasons the fast of the Ninth of Ab is still in order. Indeed, when universal peace is reestablished; this day will turn into a day of Joy.
