The High Holy Days The two days of the Jewish-New Year (Rosh Hashanah) and the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur )-are the three holy days in the Jewish calendar which are purely religious in nature.' These holidays have no other derivation, they have no agricultural framework, as does Succot; no historical underpinning of the "Giving of the Law," as in the case of the Shavuot holiday. On these three days, Jews are called upon to give an accounting of themselves before their Maker for their deeds during the past year. Jewish belief maintains that on this occasion the Almighty weighs the deeds of men and women upon.earth. This is done to decide whether a positive or, maybe, negative verdict will be forthcoming by the time Yom Kippur has arrived. Are you ready?

Gamla•— A Name to Remember HAIFA — One of the most thrilling and moving stories in all'of Jewish history Is at this moment In the process of being reconstructed as the archeologists' picks are uncovering exciting confirmation of ever dramatic detail of the saga of Gamla. Note that name well. Gamla will shortly become a by-word in Jewish history, perhaps surpassing Masada, for it is a story of fighting resistance, not of planned suicide. Through the ages Gamla had d i s a p p e a r e d . The chronicler Josephus had told in "The Jewish War" how the 9,000 Jews, residents and refugees who had gathered in this mountain stronghold, Joined the Galilee revolt against the Romans just 1909 years ago. Nothing could be more eloquent than Josephus' words, and he knew, for he was in the very vicinity when it happened. Wrote Josephus: Gamla refused to surrender, relying

Vance M ission Assessed By IX. Kenen

While some commentators persist in blaming the failure of the Vance mission on the "hard-line" attitude of Prime Minister Menachem Begin, it Is reassuring to find more objective analysis in leading publications like Toe New York Times, The Washington Star and The Baltimore Sun. The Star, on Aug. 11, advises Secretary . Vance to escape from the "cul de sac of legalistic diplomacy" and turn to "more fruitful approaches involving established governments rather than terrorist bands." A solid peace, it suggests, will be made by and among "states with interests to negotiate, not by and among factions and personalities whose fears and enmities are indelible." The New York Times, on Aug. 10, cautions against designating the PLO "as the only legitimate voice of Palestinian aspirations," and observes that other Palestinians and Jordan, whose people include a majority of Palestinians, may wish to be heard. To deal with questions by "procedural devices and on the run is to risk diplomatic disaster." -And the same day The Baltimore Sun commented that current Middle East policy may be well-intended but could wind up having the Israeli Government feel that its worst fears and suspicions are justified. After reviewing u)e shifts In American policy toward the PLO, and noting that the United States has "buffeted the Begin government pretty badly," the Sun suggests that Vance's formidable task is to assure Israel that that 1B not its real purpose. Americans, the Sun concludes, should bear In mind that Israelis, not Americans, will have to pay the •••••";..

much less fight a battle. The Romans spared no one. Josephus reports that 4,000 jews were killed; 5,000, men, women and children fell into tbe yawning ravine below them as the Romans pushed on. The battle ended on the 23rd of the Hebrew month of Tisbri, 1909 years ago. And Gamla disappeared until, after the occupation of the Golan Heights by Israel, a well-read kibbutz member chanced upon a deserted spot in the hills which Jogged his memory. The ridge looted like a camel's back. He called in the archeologtst, Shmaryahu Gutman, and for three days they. scoured the area, a volume of Josephus in one hand, as they matched and compared the historian's precise topographical descriptions with their findings. They pinpointed G a m l a , unmistakably. In his second year of excavations, Gutman has unearthed parts of the city wall, cleared the ruins of many houses and a majestic synagogue, found hundreds and hundreds of the rounded

stones which the Roman catapults rained upon the besieged city. He showed us where he had begun to penetrate doorways into the very heart of tbe mountain,' clogged up by almost 2000 years of debris. Who knows what he might find beyond) For 1909 years Gamla had been lost. Today tbe scene rings with the voices of young Israelis working under Gutman's direction, as they reconstruct and recreate a heroic/tragic chapter from the hlsiafy of the Jewish people. One stands among the slowly emerging rums of Gamla and reads the full story from the pages of Josephus. In those days this was Jewish territory, not an "occupied" Golan Heights. Every stone, every ancient coin, is a solid confirmation of the presence of our ancestors here. One who stands here and contemplates the thrilling saga which was enacted aglnst the background of this magnificent vista cannot but be stirred to the very depths of his being.

on Its inaccesibility. It sloped down from a towering peak, so that its ridge resembled the hump of a camel — hence its name (gamal — camel, in Hebrew). The town seemed to be hung In ah*, and the houses were built in staggered form up the hill so that one seemed to be on top of the other (perhaps like the staggered hillside architecture so common In Haifa-today), The Romans breached the lower wall, but the Jews came swarming down tbe hill and counter-attacked vigorously. "The Romans suffered fearful casualties. Their morale suffered severely." Vespasian was surrounded and almost killed... The foe reorganized, and under Titus himself again attacked. The lower town was overrun,, but the Romans again suffered heavy losses as the Jews up on the peak rained a deadly fire of arrows and boulders upon them. And then a negative miracle occurred. A violent windstorm suddenly blew up, and the defenders could not even maintain a foothold against the blasts,

News and Cartoons News columns and cartoons may have a larger impact than editorials. Contrast headlines about the Israeli decision to ensure that West Bank Arabs have the same labor and health benefits as Israelis. The New York Tunes: "Israel is Expanding Services for Arabs." : The Washington Post: "Israel Sets Rules for Arab Areas. Opponents Assail Changes as Step to Annexation." In a recent Sunday Washington Post, diplomatic correspondent Don Oberdorfer sweepingly held mat the immediate cause of trouble is Begin's "determined and fundamental rejection... of the comprehensive Middle East bargain backed by the United States and world opinion." A cartoon by Auth hi The Philadelphia Inquirer depicts Begin In a prayer shawl, carrying the Torah Scrolls and entering the West Bank. The cartoonist substituted missiles for the scroll posts. Tbe Oiiphant cartoon in The Washington Star of Aug. 9 shows Vance offering the dove of peace to a pawnbroker, named "Menny Begin," who does hot have much use for it.

Letters to the Editor To the Editor: As you remember, we left Omaha In February on the way to Israel. By now, many things happened and we would like to share some of them with you. We live In Carmiel, a new development town,' located between Acco and Zfad. The town Is beautiful, very similar to Denver, but of course In miniature. Carmiel is planned well. Nice wide streets cut across the town, the population Is young and active. The industrial zone is developing fast, providing employment for the citizens of the area. There is plenty of housing available, though, somewhat unlike the standards we were used to in the States. The town IB surrounded by many Arab villages, therefore security is

tight and so is the need for the place to exist and develop. We feel very free and secure. Our children walk everywhere by themselves, since we trust the guards who keep a watchful eye on tbe streets. Incentives are given by the government to investors who establish industrial complexes here. We would love to see some of our friends In Carmiel. They will enjoy the mild weather, no sweat, no flies, no mosquitoes, one even needs a jacket in the evening.. As far as our personal life is concerned, we are doing very well. When we arrived in Israel, we decided that we are not going to wait for anyone to arrange jobs and housing for us. We contacted Mr. Vsngsr, the mayor of Carmiel, with

Bureau of Jewish Education: Editor's Note: The following is the fifth of our reports by each agency presented at the Jewish Welfare Federation's Annual Meeting. "And these words which I command thee thls day, shall be upon thy heart; thou shall teach them diligently unto thy children, and shall speak of them when thou sittest In thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou llest down, and when thou rlseth up." _ (Deutenmomy 6:6-7) • - Between the ages of (our and 17, 2S5 children were enrolled in the Bureau's program, which is over 80 per cent of the number of Jewish children in our community. These children had an opportunity to increase their knowledge of our Jewish culture and society, PLUS, identify with the Jewish people and their peers in particular. Our enrollments wereasfollows: Playschool IS Pre-School ...12 Grades land 2 12 Elementary 149 High School.... 67 (We also had an adult class with 12 attending.) Tbe Jewish Identification program had 13 children going to Israel, and 10 to camps within the United States. Six of these 10 are going to Brandels. The Bureau scholarship program (primari-

ly the Brody Foundation) offered assistance (or u additional children to go to Jewish Camps. The procedure this year as in the past, was through formal and informal types of educaUon and associations. We held two retreats with over 70 children Involved In each one of them. A special evening stressing the immigration situation in Israel was held with approximately 120 adults attending. The school held five model seders. Over 150 people attended the Hanukkah Festival of Lights celebration. Numerous other special programs celebrating holidays and special Israeli occasions were also held. This was the first year that we graduated children based on the credit system, that was put Into effect one year ago. We have consldered this a successful change. It has been enthusiastically received by the students and parents. More importantly, we find that the students are taking more hours on this basis than they were prior^to the credit system being instituted. * In May, the Bureau of-Jewish Education was merged with the Jewish Community Center Agency, and the interim committee took over the budgeting process and the plannlng of activities for the 1977-78 academic year. • Respectfully submitted, Milton Brown Chairman
