Jewish Family Service needs volunteers for the F r i e n d l y V i s i t o r s and Telephone Reassurance Service, an attempt to reach out to both isolated senior citizens and still active senior citizens who enjoy both their independence and a regular phone call, according to Bob Lovett,JFS director. The volunteers will begin their training with an orienta-. tion to be held at the JCC on Aug. 15, at 3 p.m. Any questions regarding becoming a volunteer, or on how to receive the service should be directed to Carolyn Novicoff in the Jewlsh'Family Servlce-Office at 334-8200, Ext. 68. : Seniors who. participate will receive regular phone,calls and if requested, personal visits from trained volunteers who have a desire to help those who may not have family and/or friends near by.1. ; The volunteer becomes a special friend who helps to brighten the senior citizen's existence with their regular phone calls, Lovett noted. Volunteers are now,being sought on the basis of their

desire to perform an important service for others, their desire to accept responsibility and their desire to help the elderly to live anil work independently in their own home. The volunteer calls the senior citizen on a regular

' basis to check to see that they are all right and to ask if they needanythlng. . "It is this type of program that will help the senior citizen stay In his own home and out of Institutional settings for as long as possible," Lovett emphasized. -

The President and the Prime Minister: Menachem Begin at the White House IT W|*« HOUM ampoMntf

Washington, D,C, July 19, will go down in Menachem Begln's memory as a "great day in my life — one of' the best." . . That was the Tuesday he was warmly received and duly honored at the White House by a President who is in office only four months longer than the new, dynamic Israeli Prime Minister. After 15 years'of covering White House State functions, I'd rank Begln's visit as the most emotion-laden and drama-packed. His arrival, ceremony on the South Lawn was moving and eventful. Israeli and American flags : flew side by side; and 'Hatikvah' was followed by 'The Star Snangled Banner'- It was the first visit to "the White House for Aliza and : Menachem. Begin. In fact, a few moments later — as the : Israeli leader was about to start his first official meeting' with the President; he asked him, "is this the famous Ova! Office?" ';; . T h a t evening, the atmosphere in the State Dining Room was riveting during the exchange of after-dinner toasts.

Dear Bob: My sttth grade child and I were very impressed with the Sex Education Classes which you, Jewish Family Service, and the Children's Dept, from the Jewish Community Center sponsored during the spring. We felt the information presented was very helpful and educational, as well as being presented in a very comfortable manner. HQwever, I am also the parent of teenagers, and I would be very Interested in __ having a similar type of ' presentation being done for the junior high-senior high age group. I feel there Is a definite need for this age group to be presented with information which they need to face and cope with the pressures In their day to day II ving. Is there a possibility that a program such as this could be presented, say in the fall? I will look for my answer in your newspaper column. Thank you. A Concerned Parent

The Senator replied promptly offering to write the Russian Ambassador. The Senator noted, however, that the Russian Ambassador has not even acknowledged previous letters on any cases sent to him. We are concerned that on this very high level of government there appears to be no opportunity for communication between a United States Senator and a foreign ambassador. .

Effort to Hurt Begin May Harm Israel HAIFA - In the United States, and perhaps in other democracies as*well, it is customary to give a newly elected administration a period of grace during which the government will have opportunity to establish itself, and provide solid indication of specific policies and programs. The opposition, by gentlemanly tradition,,holds its fire for the first hundred days. Menachem Begin and his new government in Israel are being given no such period of grace, and no breathing spell. He Is being subjected to a vigorous and determined battering, both at home and abroad, quite obviously in an unabashed effort to bring about his downfall even before he has a chance to put his policies to the test. The Carter administration in Washington seems to have

done everything in its power to embarrass him and make things difficult. Even before Begin reached Washington, Carter had made statements which seriously undermined friendly relations between the two countries.

The electorate whittled down Labor's power In the Histadrut, but left it still in control of that vast economic complex. And Yeruham Meshel, Secretary General of the Histadrut, has served notice that he is not going to permit that government to take any action on the domestic economic front without prior consultation with the Histadrut and without its approval. In short, the Histadrut has arrogated to itself a right of veto over the actions of the Government and the Knesset.

There are some aspects of Begin's overall program which may be open to debate and even doubts. Whether his strong, stand on Israel's security, and what constitutes peace, is better in the long run. than th,e wishy-washy, noncommittal policy adopted by Labor, which led to (our wars and brought peace no closer, no-one knows. Perhaps It deserves a chance. His policies with respect to reforming the economy, and creating an environment In which the emphasis is placed, on productivity and export and fresh investment, rather thaaon the one-track Socialist goal of higher wages and more benefits, may never get off the ground. Labor Is determined to bring about the downfall of Begin, even If they ..have to paralyze the economy with a great wave of strikes, and bring the country to the verge of destruction. -

"No government of Israel could obtain a Knesset majority for a PL© regime,'' American University'Prof. Amos Perlmutter ; writes in Foreign Policy.' : ~:-\ • A REALISTIC PRESS The Washington Post suggests on July 8 that Carter drop the conceptual approach and reinstate the step-by-step pragmatism employed by the Jormer Administration—a realistic conclusion in view o f President Sadat's warning that a resurrected Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed together would be unable to persuade Arabs to open the borders with Israel. The Post, which earlier had Ignored Sadat's flamboyant defiance, later printed it, both in its news columns and In an editorial. . The Philadelphia Inquirer commented on June 30 that, the Arabs "cannot force the United Stales to do their bargaining for them a n d . . . must understand that they, too, must make tangible concessions." The Economist of London, on June 25, urged the British Government to "come off the fence'' on the Arab boycott. The Miami Herald, on June 29, called for "patient face-to-face negotiations toward the oniy kind of seiucnicut that will stid:—ORS reached mainly by the disputants and not the outsiders." •„;. Mark Gayn, in The Toronto Star wrote on July 2 that U.S. policy is "maladroit and dangerous" and may encourage the Arabs to try another war.' And Dry Bones cartoonist, Ya'acov Kirshceri in The Jerusalem Post, July 1, portrays a step-by-step withdrawal by the United States from all occupied territories—beginning with Mexico in 1848 down to the "illegal settlements" west of the 1763 partition lines, with an Internationalized New York, a multinational and multi-racial city—with Wall Street's holy sites for world capitalists—and a solemn pledge that all Americans whose families arrived before 1776 will be permitted to remain,

Carter has become hostile to Israel? It's Begin's fault I Labor unrest Is increasing? It's Begin's fault! Tfes^fisaatry's financial situation, brought to the brink of disaster by 29 years of Socialist government, is now even more critical? t — it's Begin's fault.

the influence of their largely Socialist governments, have " likewise ganged up on the man and the party who defeated Israel's Labor Party. Their most recent statement, while intended to undermine Begin, is a vicious stab at Israel which, in its damage to the country's security; hurts the Labor Party V along with everybody here. At home, the opposition to Begin began the very day bis new government took office. Without courtesy,- without moderation, the campaign is on. Unbridled attacks are the order of the day. The word has been passed down the line: no effort should be spared in making life as difficult as possible for the new government. Every policy It advocates, every program it advances must be torn to shreds.,

A Place to Live — A Place to Create JERUSALEM, ISRAEL: - When you first look across the Valley of Hinnom the long one story apartments known as the "Peaceful Dwellings", Mishkenot Sha'ananim, are lost against the greater expanse of the thriving city. If the Inappropriate stone windmill, its arms stilled for more than 100 years, were not there the area would be overlooked. But the windmill does draw you attention, though it no longer grinds grain for the inhabitants of the Yemin Moshe quarter of Jerusalem. It is a fascinating building, a museum now, which honors a generous and farsighted man. Sir Moses Montefiore. It was back In 1855 that Sir Moses, a wealthy British philanthropist rebelled at the living'conditions he found among the Jews in the Old City of Jerusalem. These victims of poverty, cramped beyond belief, seemed to present an unsolvable problem. , • Montefiore felt the only solution was to build a community outside the walls of the Old City, to move the inhabitants into the clean area beyond. Using a legacy from the American, Judah Truro, Sir Moses had the first houses built. Today the long row of apartments of Mishkenot Sha'ananim are a unique creative residence for = visiting authors, srtSsts, musicians and other creative talent who stay here under the sponsorship of the Jerusalem Foundation. The adjacent quarter of Yemln Moshe Is a home to many of Jerusalem's resident artists.

The windmill of Jerusalem, the landmark building at the Jerusalem quarter "of "Mishkenot".

' Q. WHATARETHE0RIGINS0FTHEJEW1SHPRESS? - A. According to the authoritative Encyclopaedia Judaica, the first Jewldl" newspaper ill igroerally considered1 to^1 be the G t a t a d e , Amsterdam, which appeared in 1675. Holland had by then become an Important Jewlsh^enter, having attracted many Spanish-Portuguese and Polish Jews seeking a refuge from persecution, and some years earlier Manasseh Ben Israel had set Up the first Hebrew printing press there. •:• The appearance of the Gazeta was no accident. It was Issued by a - Sephardi printer, was written In Judeo-Spanlsh or Ladino, the language of the exiles, and carried dispatches from other countries; The next notable publication, Dlnstagishe un Fraytaglshe' Kurant in Yiddish, appeared twice a week and then once a week as the Dlnstagishe Kurant in 1686 and 1687. The first Jewish periodical was Peri Ez Hayylm, also of Amsterdam, a monthly bulletin containing rabbinical decisions of Die Sephardi community. It appeared/rom 1728 to I7S1. As Emancipation and HasKalah gained ground among European Jewry .in the middle of the 18th century, Jewish journals appeared in Germany and other countries. Their numbers Increased with the revival of Hebrew, the growth of Yiddish literature, and the continued flight of Jews from Eastern Europe. The rise of modern Zionism and the emergence of political parties among the Jews stimulated printing and publishing, and • by 1882 Isidore Singer of Vienna, in the brochure Presse and Judenthum, was able to list 103 extant Jewish newspapers and journals. Thirty of them were in German, 19 in Hebrew (three of them appearing In Jerusalem), 15 in English, 14 in Yiddish, six in Ladino, five in French, and the rest in eight other languages. The first successful Jewish newspaper in the modem sense was the Allgemeine Zeitung des Judentums, launched in Leipzig in 1837 and surviving until 1922. The Jewish Chronicle, founded In London in 1841, was to prove even more successful and still flourishes as the oldest Jewish newspaper in the world. On January 17.1896. It published the first Zionist. article by Theodor Herzl. Herzl himself launched Die Welt In 1697. These two weeklies published the latest Jewish and Zionist news and served as sources for other newspapers. * The first Jewish news agency was the Neue Juodlchtf Korrespondenz, Which was founded In Berlin in 1907 and served the Jewish press until shortly after the outbreak of World War I. ..Until World War II, Europe had the largest number of Jewish • periodicals. There were Yiddish dailies In Warsaw, Lvov, Cracow, Lodz, The view of the Old City of Jerusalem from the porch of BiaynoK; Vlina, Biga, Kovna, and other iargc cast European tearo, including Soviet Yiddish newspapers in Moscow, Kharkov, and Minsk.

There were more , rule, is Illuminated at night. _ than 100 Jewish German-language weeklies, fortnlghtllcs, and monthlies in Germany and Austria. A Jewish German-language daily appeared In Vienna from 1919 to 1927. The rise of Nazi power brought most of these papers to an end. When the Nazi forces overran any country, one of their . first acts was. to close down the Jewish publications.

The financial Crisis

Rise in Synagogue Costs Discourage Membership By Boris Smolar the synagogue in America — one of the major pillars of Jewishness in this country — is now undergoing a severe financial crisis. Most of the congregations find it difficult to meet the mounting cost of maintaining their synagogues and schools without constantly increasing membership dues and tuition fees for children. This, in turn, discourages many from membership. It is estimated that 25 percent of the existing synagogues are today on the verge of. bankruptcy. A process of merging congregations — either because of growing deficits or because of loss in membership — has been going on during recent years in a* number of communities. Some synagogue buildings are being sold because of shifts in population. Greater New York, which some 20 years ago had about 1,200 synagogues, today has only about 800, not counting small prayerbouses of Orthodox groups. A third of all synagogues have been "lost" in the largest Jewish community in the world during the period following World War II. The proportion of Jews affiliated with synagogues in Manhattan — where Jews number over 170,000 — is only 10 percent of the Jewish population according to a report by Rabbi Isaac Trainin, head of the department for religious affairs at the New York Federationsof Jewish Philanthropies. And Manhattan has most of the largest synagogues in Greater New York. In Brooklyn, where the Jewish population Is .three,- times, as large ai,.^,Manhattan, the Jewish population despite tW face that there is a heavy affiliation there With Orthodox synagogues. •' On the old Lower East Side of New York ' in the East Broadway area—where one could years ago flnd'clusters of synagogues in each of the small streets, there are very few synagogue buildings today that are still functioning as Jewish houses of worship. , Some of the buildings have been sold to churches. On the facades one sees still the Mogen Dovid ol bricks built into the solid Walls when the synagogue was erected, but . the entrance signs welcome you in English and Spanish, telling you that the building Is .now a church. . •- . • It was acquired by Puerto Ricans or Blacks • which now constitute a very large part of the population in the neighborhood, after the • Jews moved out of the area in large numbers. The same can be seen In Baltimore — one of the oldest Jewish communities hi this country — as well as In other cities in neighborhoods formerly thickly populated by Jews. In the old Jewish section of Baltimore one can itlU find the 104-year-old "B'nai Israel", synagogue open for daily services, but the "Beth Midrash Hagodol" building is now.a Christian church. So are the buildings of "An7 she Sfard," "Shdmrel Hatta'th™ "Zemach Tzedek" and others. " ••

day worth about a billion dollars. But many of the buildings are still under mortgages, especially those erected after World War 11. The meeting of payments on these mortgages. is quite a headache now. It was after the end of World War II that the rtumber. of newly built synagogues had increased. This was due largely to the fact that many young Jews returned from the war fronts more religiously inclined than before. They were happy to be back home and gladly joined a congregation, or helped to build a modern synagogue in the locality where they settled, mostly in the suburbs. Today these Jews are middle-aged, married and have children. They have family obligations. Their religious sentiments have, considerably evaporated. They are willing to continue their membership in the congregation and to support the synagogue, but not when dues increase substantially every year. They want to give their children a Jewish education in the congregational school, but not at prohibitive tuition, which many of them cannot even afford to pay. A good many of the younger elements who have been active in the synagogue are now drifting away more and more to activities in other^ directions. . ' They give their time more to the local Jewish Federations, to the United Jewish Appeal, to local branches of national Jewish organizations engaged in fighting for human rights and in protection of rights for Jews in the Soviet Union. The synagogue is taking a back seat with them. For newlyweds, the high congrega. ttonaj dues are definitely a hindrance to join a . synagogue, as U,W for, parents of children of r schoolage who findit difficult'to niee{ the" high tuition In synagogue schools.

Free Membership

The question of admitting newlyweds to: free membership in congregations for several years is now on the agenda of numerous synagogues where membership is shrinking because of the high cost of being a member. The investment is worthwhile not only because it would increase the. number of young men and women joining a synagogue, but also because it would assure Jewish education for their children. Parents who join synagogues are definitely interested in sending their school-age children to a congregational school when the tuition is no obstacle. A friend of mine, a Jewish-minded official in Washington, tells me frankly: ''Neither 1 nor my wife are religious, but we consider ourselves good Jews. We have two children of • school age. I would like them to know their Jewish, roots. I was planning to send them to a Reform Temple school. But when I inquired, I was told that the school, cannot accept, my children unless I become a member of the temple. The aim they rnpnllnned which I would have to pay in dues to the congregation and In tuition for the children amounted to. . several thousand dollars a year. This was too; high (or me.

Report from the Iowa Jewish Home Th« following li the second part of our reports by each agency presented •I th« JawUh WaKara Federation'! Annual Meeting. .

During fiscal 1976-77, the Iowa Jewish Home saw no basic changes in its program structure. Existing programs functioned 'smoothly through the latter period of time in spite of a number of major departmental personnel changes. One major change for the Home occured when Mrs. Marjorie Gisel, our director of nursing for the past eight and a half years, retired. Mrs. Gisel's devotion to the Home and tremendous abilities had won the hearts of both the staff and residents with whom she worked. We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to that her replacement, Miss Ann Burkey, has displayed an exceptional dedication to her job and has impressed everyone with ** her ability to bridge the transition from her former position of patient care co-ordinator to her current position of director of nursing. The second major change in departmental director occurred In the Dietary Department when Mrs. Reglna Henry, who was expecting her first child, decided to retire. MTS. Henry was replaced by Mrs. Mary Frances Ball who came to us from Woodward State Hospital where she was assistant director of Dietary Services. Mrs. Ball has been doing a superb job in the dietary area and has been quick to pick up the laws of Kashruth. Under her direction, we have also acquired a number of new cooks all : of whom are certified as cook managers in the dietary area. The final departmental change occurred in the Rehabilitation Department with Wendell Kneller assuming the reins of human •.'* services co-ordinator. Kneller comes to us from Goodwill In'•* dustries where he was a caseworker. He, too, has done an excellent job and has expanded his role to include work with ap% plicants for admission to the Jewish Home as weHas residents who are ready to be discharged from the-Home. Kneller works. . closely with Miss Burkey in obtaining appropriate medical and

physiological information necessary to plan for a patient's care, either within the Home or on discharge from it. During this year's inspection by the State Department of Health and the State Department of Social Services, the Home was commended for its patient care staffings which are conducted weekly on an inter-disciplinary team work basis. The Home was further commended for its innovation physician program which makes available physician care to the residents on . a twice-a-week basis. At a recent board meeting, Dr. Nansen, medical dircctorof the Iowa Jewish Home, stated that the physician program was not only benefitting the residents, but also broadening the physicians who work with them. In spite of budget limitation, the Jewish Home initiated a redecorati&i program which drastically changed our color scheme and replaced a number of draperies throughout the Home. This project would not have been possible were it not for the fact that the women of the Iowa Jewish Home Guild contributed over »9,000 towards its completion. The Jewish Home Guild furthermore provided leadership and coordination through the person of Mrs. Bobby Nagorner whose' capable and professional abilities led the project through its various stages to its current completed state. Many thanks to both the Jewish Home Guild and to Bobby for exceptional committment and effort over the last year. Finally, a special thanks is in order to Larry Myers, former president of the Jewish Home, and Diane Adler, former Guild president. Larry saw the Homerthrough two years of major selfevaluation and program planning. The framework which Larry, and the board, created will be carried on by Dr. Albert Mintzer who assumed the position of President in January of this year. Larry's dedication and committment to the Home and its Board is exceptional. • - • . . . The second person deserving note is Diane Adler who turned over her gavel to Mrs. Nate Bernstein also in January of this year. Mrs. Adler was a superb organizer and, under her direction, the Guild raised and contributed an impressive amount of funds to the Jewish Home. Though the Home knows it will be facing continuing fiscal problems through the coming 1977-78 year. It is optimistic that it will be able to find solutions to these problems through the capable leadership to Dr. Mintzer. The Home is looking forward to developing its ideas concerning expansion of its current facilities. Both the Home and the Federation have agreed that retirement housing may be the Home's salvation in terms of its fiscal operation. The Home certainly is looking forward to the Federation's input on these issues and will be working closely with the Federation's new and capable executive director, Jay Yoskowitz. \ Respectfully submitted, CarlS.Rogat Executive Director

By Rabbi Samuel J. Fox A? Question: Why does Jewish law require a person to pronounce a benediction before and after eating something? '•'}. Answer: A variety of proofs and sources are offered as the h>asis for this requirement. Sources In the Talmud state that a !person who would eat or derive pleasure from something in this 'world without prononucing a benediction first would be guilty of 'misappropriating property that does not belong to Jiim !(B'Rachot35a). ' 1 Quoting a,verse in the Bible-which reads that the "earth ; belongs to the Lord" (Psalms 24:1), the Talmud states that the ifcssedictics is the price Wiiicti ti'rcAifnlgntyexpects man io pay |for'the, privilege of enjoying something which belongs to the iCrealor who made the world. He would actually be considered a 3thlefifhefaUedtodothis(B'Rachot35b). . | : Some other sources in the Talmud quote the popular verse /••i which states that one "should eat, be satisfied and bless the Lord," While this indicates only the blessing after one eats, the 4?slmttd.adds that if sue resognizes,ih.e value of the feed ores-, Tjoymerit after he has consumed it^how much more should he .;.' recognize the heavenly source before he consumes it. / S o m e commentaries have stated that this whole practice ^reflects the rights and property priorities, of others which have to be respected. Man is allowed to enjoy the world prepared by 'the Almfghtly provided he recognized its ultimate source. This divine source has to be recognized both before and after he enjoys the food. Before he enjoys the food he acknowledges its _-heavenly, source in awe and amazement for the .pleasure he Is ' ready to enjoy. After he consumes it he is to express his thanks for what he has enjoyed. Thus, he is not to steal from either God or man to enjoy life. The blessing beforehand indicates that he is : taking it with permission. He is also to remain grateful for the Jvitovors of the'past from both God and man. Thus, the benediction after eating indicates the positive relationship a person should establish with his fellow man to be forever grateful for the benefltsof society In this world. • ••••
