OB BY HBN GALLOP Pinning the label' "historic" on any current event probably involves some degree of "Chutzpah" if only because historical perspective is required for a consensus acceptable to a majority of qualified observers. Still, in the annual Jewish Telegraphic Agency review of the major events of the Jewish Year, it seems a safe bet that posterity will judge a j truly historic: the establishment of diplomatic relations b e t w e e n I S R A E L AND WEST'GERMANY.

Uniqye By Mickey Gcrilicli The modm- Jew reacts to Jewish holidays in a variety of ways. Some observe the holidays in the most nieaningiul manner. Others perform the mechanical ritual aspect1; without g i v i n g thought to their meanings. Still others reject the holidays in total as no longer being important to modern man. The concept of the Open So ciety has had its effect on Jewish identification. Decreasing anti-scinitisni lias resulted in educational, economic, s o c i a l and political opportunities open to Jews for the first time in history. The American Jew today no longer feels "different" from his. non-jewish neighbor. Many have shed their Jewish heritage with the thought that "it is no longer necessary."' Knowing and understanding is basic to any decision to accept or reject. So too must the Jew know .".nd understand what the Jewish Holidays represent before he can intelligently accept or reject them. We have attempted to portray in this 'issue a modern approach to the Jewish holidays. As briefly as possible the holidays have been interpreted in terms of enrichment value to the life of modern man. About Hie Copy The holiday descriptions in this issue are simple and condensed. In some instances perhaps, they tell only part of the story. They are, for the most part, general d e s c r i p t i o n s .

Local Jewish Art Students Contribute Original Drawings In this :>ge of great c o n c e r n about the lack of Jewish commitment in our youth, it is particularly important to note that a colaboraler. in writing this copy was indeed one of our young people. •I.ilin Whitman

Jon W h i t m a n , an eleventh grade student at Central High School, wrote some of the copy for these holiday descriptions. The p o s i t i v e attitude he expresses, is certainly a hopeful indication that his generation is not completely "lost." About 'Bring Different' Basic to Judaism is the belief in the dignity and value of the individual. Judaism insists on justice for all men. but equality does not necessarily mean sameness. The beauty, the ethical truths, the history and the culture of Judaism have a place in the lives of modern men. The American Society is enriched by its Jewish citizens who incorporate into their daily lives, the teachings of Judaism which is dedicated to the idea of the perfectability of mankind. The holidays in various ways, through prayer, symbols and rituals mean to direct man's thoughts and actions to these, ideals. More than ev?r, Judaism offers • he vitality to make real the American dream of justice and dignity f.,r all men. This thought motivated the holiday series in this issue.

An unusual and exciting innovation has been included in this issue of the Jewish Press. For the first time in the history nf tiiis'or any e t h e r Ai::erie:>n Jewish newspaper, original artwork by local Jewish artists has been incorporated into the chosen theme of "Jewish Holidays." The illustration.1-; which appear in this issue were created for, and donated to, the Jewish Press by local art students who gave of their talents so that these unique messages of the Jewish Holidays could be brought to our readers. Most of the artists who contributed to this issue are students of Mrs. A. (Liberty) Faier, a fine artist and a gifted teacher, who has opened the door to art for many. How it Started At the request of friends some 5 years ago, Liberty started an art class for 8 children. The mothers were so impressed with the accomplishments of their children, they urged Libcty to start a class for a d u l t s and things have snowballed e v e r since. Mrs. Faier now teaches three classes, a total of -15 students, meeting every week; and she has a waiting list nf more than seventy prospective new students. The classes are informal and include students from age 10 to GO who work with charcoal, water colors, pastels and oils

Liberty's philosophy is probably the key to her success as an art teacher. "1 believe'' she says "that anyone can learn to draw. All it takes is a real desire to learn and a willingness to practice. The very line pieces of art created by many of my students over the years justify my beliefs." About ilio ArllsU MRS. PHIL (DKLOKKS) FOX, lias worked with Liberty for ;i years, and is responsible for the Puriin picture in this issue. MRS. JOK (I'AULINi:) UUSS, another 3 year pupil, created the Passover picture. MRS. HIVING; <I'I-:AIU.) IIKK-

ZOG has had two years of study and contributed the design for Tishah B'av. MRS. JULIUS (JAN) KATZMAN has been studying with Liberty for three years and produced the pictures for nosh Hashanah and Israel Independence Day. MISS PAULA KLKIN, a 9(h grade .student at L e w i s and Clark, created the designs for Tu B'Shevat and Lag B'Omer. Paula has been a private protege of her Art teacher aunt for about 5 years. MRS. L E O N A R D (ANITA) KULAK.OKSKY has been a ciass member for 4 years and contributed the d r a w i n g of the Sabbath table. CHARLES (CHUCK) MAYER created the symbolic drawing of

the Hebrew Calendar depicting the totality of Jewish Life. A June graduate of Central High, Chuck is entering his freshman year at Tufts College as an Art Major. MHS. HAKKY (ANNI Mill XMAN has had four years of study with Liberty and produced the Simchas Torah illustration. The Chanukah illustration was the combined efiort of MIJS. KEITH (IXAIN'IO S.UNDICIiS and her son MARK. Elaine has worked with Liberty for three years. Mark is a student fit Central High School. MISS JILL SLOSIUIU; designed the Sucoos illustration. A senior at Central High, Jill has been active as a student and teacher in the art classes at Joslyn. MILS. I'llIL (RUTH) S0K0LOF, one of Liberty's newest pupils, contributed the Yom Kippur illustration. MKS. W A L T E R (SAI1AII) WOSKOFF has been a inembir of one of Liberty's classes for two years. She contributed llie Shavbut illustration for this issue. •

Mlllard Rosenberg, J e w i s h Press Committee C h a i r in a n, conceived the idea of local talent contributing the illustrations and m a d e the arrangements with Mrs. Faier and her .'!udents. On behalf of the entire community, the Jewish Press thanks all these people for their contribution', to this IS.MIP

"As another year on the ancient Jewish calendar draws to a close, I am delighted to express to all my fellow Americans of the Jewish faith my cordial {-reelings as they observe the High Holy Days. "These days, of penitence and renewed hope are a fitting reminder to us all that each of our individual fates is part of the fate of mankind. We are called not to the negation of despair, but to the stern duty of hope. We are reminded that no period in human history has been easy for those who seek freedom, justice and brotherhood. "Difficult though it may seem, it is up to us to bear the burden of conscience during a time of aggressive international challenge and profound domestic change. Encouraged by the fortitude of those before us who have suffered and endured, we are renewed in our determination to preserve and up'nuiu lim tiiii-iionorcu aspirations. • "By sharing with us its deep devotion to individual dignity and human right, the Jewish faith has enriched our American heritage. May the contributions of this Faith, revitalized through the observance of Rosh Hashnnnh be a continuing source of strength and inspiration for all Americans. LYNDON B. JOHNSON.

Rosh Hashanah Reflections • By MEIIt' CHARNIAK As we begin to reflect on the New Year and how to face its many challenges, we cannot help looking back to see what has occurred in the United States during the year which has just fled, and how some of the year's developments may affect our future as Jews in the U n i t e d States. It Is more and more apparent (hat the American Jew has assumed a prime role in American society, In cultural and. Intclirclual life and even in the daily life of all Americans. It Is perhaps symbolic that one of the twin astronauts, Major White, carried with him into space a Mogan David, as well as Christian symbols, H also has been

common for major general magazines (and not only the specialized Jewish journals) lo devote long essays to the emergence of "The American Jew" (as in Time magazine.) When I r v i n g Malin's academic, university-s p o n s o r e d b6ok, Jews and Americans was published, the New York Times Sunday Book Review devoted its front page to speculations and observations on the phenomenon of the impact of Jewish writing and culture upon the rest of the American people. When Martin Buber died, the American press found reams of space to describe his i n f l u e n c e and his teachings. Rabbinical conventions are covered closely by knowledgeable reporters; and, of

course, Israel, in many of its manifestations, is thoroughly covered by the nation's press, although not always as fairly a3 it might be. More and more Jewish students and young couples visit Israel, bringing with them a special brand of idealism and carrying away memories and experiences which are bound lo enrich tlichir lives back home. Summer camps are proliferating and many of (hem aro now religiously oriented, or Hebrewspeaking, with emphasis on the Jewish heritage. Jewish organizations stress Jewish Issues more than ever before and sponsor summer camps, trips to Israel and youth seminars. (Continued 011 Page 49)

The Year in Life of British Jewry By S. J. GOLDSMITH The Race- Relations B i l l , which is not yet on the statute books has been one ol the preoccupations of British Jews in the year u n d e r review. For years, British Jews had been advocating it. To be sure, some of them are still doubtful. They fear the implied asUaiption that Jews—and Negroes—were different and in need of special protection, while the rest of the people are protected by the existing 1 a w s. But the official Anglo-Jewisli bodies had been in favor ot such a bill all along. Tlie Bill is now goinj; through (lie mill. Let it be said that religious discrimination of Jews as such are not mentioned in the Bill. It is designed to prevent discrimination against racial or ethnic groups.-It is the view of the Government that the Jews would be covered by the Bill one way or another and there was no need to mention religion.

The High Holy Days

September 27, 28, 1965

Rosh Hashanah

I, 2, Tishri 5726

"In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest unto you, a memorial proclaimed with the blast of horns, a holy convocation . . •" Leviticus 23:23.

Drawing by Jim

The High Holy Days have neither an agricultural nor a historical significance. They are spiritual days, linked with the hopes, the aspirations and the destiny of mankind. On these solemn days, Israel prays not only for its own welfare, but for the well-being of all men.

Rosh Hashanah prompts us to scan horizons. It bids us to set our sights on worthy goals. It stimulates us, by its historic insistence on self-improvement to reflect and consider the manner in which we are living our lives.

Rosh Hashanah (literally, "head of the year") is obsorved in the beginning of the seventh Hebrow month—Tishri. While Nisan is declared in the Bible to be the first month in the year, Tishri has come to be regarded as the beginning of the civil year.

From its inception, Rosh Hashanah has been a time of spiritual introspection — a time for the individual Jew to take stock of himself, his life, his moral and ethical obligations.

And thov shalt teach them diligently unto thy children. —Deuf. 6:7

By Villa Goldgar

According to our ancient rabbis, three books are opened on Rosh Hashonali. One book is for the listing of the Wholly Righteous, one for the names of the iVholly Wicked, and the third is for the Intermediate, They say that the name of "the Wliolly Righteous is inscrihed in the appropriate place immediately. So is that of the Wholly Wicked man. But the Book of the Intermediates is kept open till Yom Kipuur to give 'all of us "in-betweens'' a lighting chance! At our house the other clay, an "in-between" we know was discussing his '•(sores." He'd .borrowed a great deal of money, he said, from certain friends and acquaintances that he was unable to repay on schedule. When he went to see an attorney, that legal counselor advised: '"You don't have (o pay this money back. .Kccausc they're charging you way over the legal rate of interest. That makes it usury." "But it's a bonus I myself offered them." said our friend. "I needed this money badly and so I offered each this 10 per cent bonus to do it.' "Still it's usuary," pointed out the lawyer. "And the statutes in this state are very strict on this. So you don't have to repay a cent of it!" "But I want to re-pay it. It's a just and honest debt and I'm not trying to avoid paying it— just need time. It's my moral obligation to pay!'' "Look," said the attorney, a bit testily, "Don't tell me about your moral obligations. If you want moral advice, go see your rabbi. I'm just here to give you legal advice—and I've given it to you." Well, the upshot, of course, was that our friend, on hi.s own, got a few week.- extension and paid off everybody. But the conversation vnth counsel made "such-a dent.Maine remembered and repeated it to me. Now the bedrock realists among my readers may feel the legal eagle gave good sound advice to his client. And I'm cure the attorney WAS legally correct.

But do you know what 1 think? Tale In Reverse WV11, let's jus1 take this tale in reverse. The same friend, let's assume, goes to see his rabbi and poses the identical problem related above. "Itabbi." he says, ••'Jhe.':e debts are d i f f i c u l t to pay. And look! They're charging me usurious r a t e s of interest. Legally, I probably don't have to pay a dime." "Why tell me you don't legally have to pay" — the rabbi would undoubtedly say. 'if you want legal advice, go see a lawyer! The ethical thing to do, beyond question, is to repay the money." Do you (ioiiht for one minute that lliis is what the rabbi would say? Hut what businessman would go to the. rabbi first? In fact, how many ever approach the rabbi for a d v i c e at any lime? We feel we know it all when it comes to ethics! Or, if the moral issue of the m a t t e r doesn't happen to suit our business advantage, we simply ignore it. Legal advice! What we can get away with—-that's what we treasure and act upon. And I do -wish it were the other way around. Artificiality If we continue to live by artificial moral codes—created to our own convenience — if we hold nothing sacred—where will it end? Not long ago, I read in the papers that Russian scientists have now succeeded in making artificial caviar. Soon, they say, as a result caviar will be as common as butter. I maintain that when moral codes (like caviar) bcome artificial you can spread them thinly over everything, moral codes become common, too. and command the respect of none of us. Judaism !•= n ir-llginrt br.srd on ethics, We must strive in the coming year to take the teach••;ngs;-q£-th!.- prcphcL-; -J.l the pedestal and put them into our business practice, our family life and our personal code.

Drawing by Jill Slosburg

On the fifth day following Yom Kippur, the Festival of Tabernacles begins. This a n c i e n t lovely festival expresses a mood of thankfulness, o f fempered joy, humility, wonder and abounding faith. Although its o r i g i n s are not altogether clear, fiie holiday has been associated for millennia with two principal ideas. First, it is a reminder that the ancient-Hebrews fleeing in the wildernss" lived in. frail shelters. Temporary booths (sukkef) are erected as a remembrance of the hardships and spiritual

triumphs of our forefathers. Jews are never to forget that their history began in slavery. With colorful symbolism Sukkot recalls our f o r m e r low estate, the uncertainty of life, the unsurenss of houses built by man's hand and finally our dependence on God. The sukkah is decorated with fruits, vegetables, branches, flowers, in testimony to the bounty of th Creator. This leads to the second ntstoric concept—thanksgiving—for Sukkot is the festival of Ingathering, a time of thanksgiving to God for the abundance of the harvest.

Rejoicing of the Torah

Sirnhat Torah

23,Tishri,5726

October 19, 1965

Drawing; by Ann Sehslman

One can learn much about the soul of a people from the things in which it rejoices. Some nations rejoice in thoir povvor; others in military conquests. The Jews, traditionally, have rejoiced in the Law.

study, without beginning or end, symbolizes th'e Jew 1 ! eternal devotion to study and Torah.

On Simhat Torah, which means literally "the rejoicing of the Torah" the annual reading of the Fivo Books of Moses is completed and begun anew. This moving observance of the complete circle of Torah

The traditional devotion to study of ToraK is basic to Jewish lovo of learnfng for its own sake. This conscious devotion to study is part of the Uniqueness of Jewish life.

For the Jew, the Torah means more than a collection of stories, a history or even a coda of laws. For the Jew, the Torah represents a way of life.

Tho fcobrow word "Hanukah" means dedication. The festival received its name from the efforts of iho Macaboss against their Grook persecutors. It Is a familiar story—tho small band of faithful Jows who successfully robellod against tha despot Antiochus; the few drops of oil for tho Eternal Light in the sanctuary that miraculously lastod eight days; the.rededication (Hanukah) and purification of the Tampln which h*H boen profaned by the oppressors.

Tho spirit implied by tho word "Hanukah" should inspire us to a way of life that is built upon dedication—dedication to the kind of courage displayed by tho Macaboos—dedication to a Jewish horitago and dedication to tho future of Judaism. Just as tho drodlo always noods an extra push to keep it going, Hanukah reminds us that to keep alive our Jewish spirit, we need the extra push of redodication.

A revitvv of tin: Jewish year in sports must begin with the year's greatest sporting event, the Tokyo' Olympic Games. Many Jewish athletes from a variety . of nations took part. Thirteen of them won a total of 16 medals. The United States team included Ifi Jewir.h athletes and coaches, of whom live captured medals. Gerry Ashwortb won a gold medal in track and field as a member of a world record setting •JUO-ineter relay team. Larry Brown was a member of the all-winning U. S. basketball team. He was instrument:)! in a number of the teams wins with his fine nlay-makin;; and aggressiveness. Silver medals went to Marilyn Ramenofsky in swimming and to the veteran Isaac Berber ;MI wei«bt!ifting. Miss Rainenof: ky had st-t a w o r l d record for her event —the 440-meter f r e e - s t y l e —prior to the Games, while Berger won his third Olympic medal. He hau previously taken a gold in 1!)50 and a silver in JflGO. The other U. S. medal was garnered by James Bregmaii in judo. He took a bronze in the middleweight division. Brcgnian was the only American to score in this event. Mention should also be made of Air 1 Rosenberg, who while he won no medals personally, coac'.ed the Vesper Boat Club eight-oared crew to a surprise victory. The other Untied States representative included: Albert Axelrod, Herb Cohen, Gene Glazer, Dave Micahnik and R o b e r t Blum, all in fencing: lion Barak and Art Sherlock, in Gymnastics: Don Spero. in rowing;'Gary Gubner in weightlifting "ind Andy Fitch in wrestling. Two girls proved to be the outstanding foreign Jewish competitors. Irena Kirszenstein of Poland won a gold and two silver medals for her country in track and field, and look second place in both the long jump and the 200-mater dash. The Hungarian giri, iidiko Usiaky-Kejto won two gold medals in fencing. The other foreign medal winners were: Hungarian:; Dezso Gynrmati, waterpolo; Dr. Gyorgy Karpati, waterpolo, Tamas Gabor, fencing; and Arpad Orban, soccer, and for the Soviet Union Rudolf P 1 y u k f e 1 d e r, .weight-lifting and Yakov Rylaky, fencing. AH won gold medals. Israel sent a team of ti>n ath. Jetes to Tokyo, but once-again the Israelis found that they have a long way to go before they can compete successful!. • with the top sporting nations of the world. Much of the Israeli press

was critical of the methods of coaching usr-d to prepare the team tor the Games. Baseball In baseball the name that led all the rest, whether ill a doctor's report or in the box score of a winning pitching performance, was Sandy Koufax ol the I.os Angeles iiodgeis. For a timr, at the n'*;iinning of the season, it looked as if Sandy had reached the end of his career. The doctors found that he had arthritis in his pitching elbow, and some speculated that he would be unable to pitch with anything like his old brilliance. All fears were dispelled once the season started and Koufax jiicked up where he left off, as the top pitcher in baseball. The other .1 e w i s h major leaguers, Larry Sherry of the Detroit Tigers and Barry Latinan of the Los Angeles Angels proved to be highly effective relief pitchers for their respective clubs. In the executive field Jerry Iloffberger was named chairman of the board of directors of the Baltimore Orioles. Basketball Arnold "Red" Auerbach coach of the Boston Celtics continued his domination of professional basketball. His team won their seventh consecutive world title, a feat unprecedented in major professional sports. Auerbach was named "Coach of the Year" in the National Professional League. He r.lso became direcior and part owner of the team. One of the other coaches in the same league was A d o 1 p h Schaycs, the former great player. Scliaycs team, the Philadelphia 7(iers, gave the C e l t i c s their most trouble in the championship play-offs. Three players were active in major league professional basketball. Rudy LaRusn of the Los Angeles Lakers helped lead his team to the western division title and into the finals of the championship p l a y - o f f s. Art Heyman and Barry Kramer of the New York Knickerbockers, both college AIl-Americ.ns, experienced great difficulties adjusting to the pro game. In the college ranks the outstanding performers were Tal Brody of Illinois and Steve Nisenson of Hofstra.

Mew Year of the Trees

Tu Bishe vat

February 5, 1966

" . . . Thou shall not destroy the trees . . . for the tree of the field is man's life." Deuteronomy 20:19

Drawing by Paula Klein

The love o f the Jewish people for the tree is reflected in the ancient custom' OT pianiiriy a IIBO fur a iiewuGfn child. Upon the birth of a boy, a cedar was planted, as a token of strength. Upon the birth of a girl, a cypress or pine was planfod, a s y m b o l of fragrance and grace. When children married, boughs of their trees were used for the Huppah or marriago canopy. Of the entire kingdom of plant life, the trees alone were honored by our sages with a special Mew Year. The im-

portance of trees for the conservation and development of the land was recOynilSu cVSil in uiuiiCai tifTiSS. AitSP ftt5

Jews were exiled from their homeland in 70 A.D. and during the long centuries of foreign rule in Palestine, the land was deforested and turned into swamps. When the Halutzim, the Jewish pioneers returned to their homeland, their first task was to replant forests and turn waste-lands into green gardens. Tu Bishevat is the festival that symbolizes tho rejuvenation of Israel's soil.

Oh may 1 join the choir invisible Of those immortal dead who live again In minds made better by their presence: live In deeds of daring recitude, in scorn For miserable aims that end with self, In thought sublime that pierce the night like stars, And with their mild persistence urge man's search To vaster issues.

M, In a spirit of kinship and religious brotherhood, 1 extend sincere greetings und good wishes to the Jewish community of Omaha for a happy and .spiritually satisfying New Year, The High Holy Days impress upon us a special awareness of the needs of humanity in gcmral and of the Jewish people in particular. The purpose of these days is to give us a renewed measure vi spiriiuni power lo tio our share in meeting those needs, The Days of Awe, from Rush Hashanah through Yom Kippur, have a clear message for us: that we can renew our spiritual lives; that we can return to I he spiritual and moral sources of our faith; that through the beliefs and practices of Judaism we can elevate ourselves and discover new dimensions in living. The concerns that face us are many and varied. The task of improving our society is an on-going one. It requires continuing efforts over a long period of time. Too often we tend gradually to lose the fervor and passion with which we begin projects of social betterment. Lest we lose enthusiasm so needed in the struggle for human improvement, the High Holy Days come and tell us to gird ourselves anew to meet the challenge of a crucial era. . This challenge confronts us in many areas. The threat of assimilation requires a strengthening of the spiritual fabric of Jewish Hie. The area of civil rights is in reality a battle for implementation of religious ideals within the fabric of American society. The needs of Israel demands from us an unqualified commitment. The Jewish education of our young and old alike, must absorb our attention. All these are areas of "unfinished business1' where Judaism has. a message and the Jewish people a mission . The High Holy Day season confronts us with a challenge; it also presents us with an opportunity—of bringing about the eventual triumph of goodness over evil; the opportunity of1 serving God : and working for the brotherhood of all men; the opportunity of strengthening our identification with Judaism, and thus bring enrichment to our lives and to all humanity.

Purim

March 6. 1966

Drawing by Dclurca Fun

For two thousand years the festival of Purim has been observed by Jews because it symbolizes the historic lot of Israel in so many lands and so many generations.

I he carnivai spirit characterizes the celebration of P u r i m , and down t h r o u g h the centuries, despite their hardships, Jews have rejoiced with a kind of abondon on Purim with masks and costumes, carnivals and plays.

Jews cherish the story of Esther for the message of faith and courage that it conveys. It teaches that people who seek freedom must be prepared to fight for it. It predicts the doom of all lands in all generations that refuse to grant freedom to persecuted minorities.

Purim is a symbol of h o p e and courage for all oppressed minorities and bids them not to despair in the face of persecution and danger. The very survival of the Jew in a hostile w o r l d , through the ages, justifies fhe faith of the down-trodden in b e t t e r days to come.

"Blessed is the man that hath a virtuous ivife, the number of his days is doubled." Ecclcsiastes 26:1

Hoikicsy Message From >bi l i f e r S. Irlpke As we approach the New Year our amnds turn, justifiably enough, to prayers and hopes for Hie welfare of our own immediate circles, our family and friends, during the approaching year. But no Jew limits his prayers and hopes, articulated, or unarliculatcd to these close circles: His mind turns to the well-being of the Jewish . DC'Ople and to the well-being of mankind, ami :iq Anu'ric.-iim <»nr hearts are full and our minds uneasy because of the many faceted problems which lace our beloved America. In this brief greeting I limit my thoughts to the House of Is-rael—although the same thoughts might well be applied to individual and family life, to America and to the world of man. We are all hopeful that American Judaism may rise from spiritual weakness to spiritual strength and from inertness to vitality. But hopes here are not enough and even "Jewish activity" is here of little consequence! Activity within the Jewish community may apparently come from vitality and energy, but, to borrow an analogy, these activities may well be the unorganized frenzy of an army routed and in disastrous retreat. Long ago, the Rabbis of the Mislinah called our attention to the fact that in.our central prayer, the Shema. we do not speak of the rewards we hope to have for virtue and the punishments that follow wickedness, until we have first said Sheina and acknowledged our duty to love and serve God, at any necessary sacrifice of blood and treasure. And the Rabbis said that this is a logical order; for how can one turn his attention to the duties and'responsibilities which lie in the path of virtue, if he has not yet acknowledged that these duties and responsibilities dnitzvot!) issue forth naturally from his acceptance of the oneness of God and the duty to serve Him? If, then, we have hopes and prayers for the House of Israelought we not first to bring order out of chaos and strength out of •weakness by putting all our Jewish activities into some kind of focus, some kind of frame of reference, through a commitment, before anything else, a commitment to Judaism. In one sense, at least, it is to this commitment that we arc called by the Holy Days. If these Holy Days pass by with the Jewish community no more deeply committed than before, they have been wasted indeed. If, on the other hand, they awaken a sense of l/Mr'lWir

"Why is this night different from all other nights?"

Drawing by Pauline Gusi

No other Jewish holiday has the combination of ceremonial loveliness, treasured family associations, sprinqtime exuberance, hallowed national memories and hopes which are contained in Passover. The Passover Story is the oldest Declaration of Independence that mankind knows. It gives an inspiring vision of national life founded on liberty under God and law. The Passover seder reteiis the story of the birth of freedom for the children of Israel. Led by Moses, a horde of slaves are freed from the bondage of Pharaoh in Egypt and become a nation,

In every generation the lessons of Moses have been translated into terms relevant to conIVtllt/WtVII

over today rings out a protest against fascism, communism, and the Pharaohs of our times. Its basic call for freedom is echoed in every courageous fight against injustice and discrimination exercised against any racial or religious group. It is a potent protest against religious bigotry, race prejudice, class prejudice and racial and social segregation. For all men'in all generations, Passover has been a symbol of the quest for liberty, and a promise that freedom under law can be won.

It Happened Before Kol Nidre

Ity Boris Smolur Saturday late in the evening . . • September 22, 1928 . . . Two days before You) Kippur . . . My home telephone rings. "This is Louis Marshall . . . .Sonirlinng very important and urgent . . . 1 just received ;i longdisluncu tcleplioaie call from Jewish leaders in IWassena, a small town in (he upper part of Xi'vv York State . . . Tlie tiny Jewish community there is in panic . . . A Christian 4-year-old girl disappeared, and (he Christian population is excited . . . Ugly rumors are being spread thaflhc Jews kidnapped the child fur ritual purposes for Yom Kippur . . . A ritual blond libel against the Jewish commiinily is in the making . . . The Jews are in mortal fear . . . Can you take Ihe first (rain and proceed immediately to .Massena?" . . . The matter was of extreme urgency. This-was the first blood libel accusation against American Jews in the history of the United .States. Prompt action was necessary to check it in time through a thorough investigation on the spot. Mr. Marshal!, then president of the American Jewish Committee, and outstanding leader of American Jewry, wanted me to make this investigation and to advise him from Massena on what urgent steps sliould be taken. The first train I could take to reach Massena —a town cm the American-Canadian border—was a slow, night milk train which would bring me to my destination the next clay, alter changing trains en.the wey. There was no better means of transportation, so I took this all-night train w h i c h stopped at every station, changed twice after waiting hours at junctions, and finally reached Massena the next day at about noon—the day when Jews were to usher in Yom Kippur with Kol Nidre - services. The town was seething when I reached the main street. Christians were gathered in groups talking excitedly of the fact that the night search for the missing child in the neighborhood woods, and everywhere else, had brought no results. The Jewish stores were closed, and no Jew was seen on the street, obviously aware of the dangerous atmosphere. There were only l'J Jewish families in Massena. The first Jewish leader with whom I spoke, telling him that I was rushed by Mr. Marshall to Massena, unveiled for me the unbelievable story that only that morning—about two hours before my arrival—the local rabbi, Berl Brenglass, was summoned to police headquarters. There the chief of police, at the request of the local mayor, interrogated Rabbi Brengiass on the horrible assumption that the Jews required the blood of Christian children for their holy days, and that this accounted for the disappearance of the little girl. One of the questions the rabbi was asked by the police chief was: "Is tomorrow a big Jewish holiday, a fast day?" After receiving from the rabbi an affirmative answer, the police chief asked him: "Can you give any information as to whether your people in the old country offer human sacrifices?" Thereupon the rabbi, with great indignation expressed his astonishment that any public , officer in the United States should dare to ask such a question. The rabbi was then asked if there was a time when the Jewish people used human blood, to which he gave a negative answer and stressed that the use of human blood, and also of animal blood, was forbidden by the Jewish religion. *

•

While the rabbi was interrogated by the police chief, a mob of several hundred was waiting in a state of unusual excitement outside police headquarters. What the Jews in Messena suffered when it became known that their rabbi had been taken to the police is easy to imagine. Their m e n t a l agony had grown even worse when they learned of the questions the rabbi was asked by the police chief. As I was sitting with the rabbi at his home later, listening to what happened during the police interrogation, "and telling him (hat I came all the way from New York at the request of Louts Marshall,'a'group of Jews suddenly burst info hi.s house shouting jubilantly:

"The child has been found! . . . The child is alive!... It turned out •that the four-year old Barbara Griffith was sent by her mother the day before to the nearrjy woous w itiok for ht-r iiruim-r, aim that she was found wandering in the woods about a mile from her home the following day about •1:30, a few hours after the rabbi was interrogated at police headquarters. It was learned that, after failing to find her brother at the place iudictated, she went further into the woods, last her way, became fatigued, fell'asleep, and on awakening continued her wanderings until found by two young ladies who were looking for her. The joy of the Jews in town was indescribable. Their Yom Kipuur prayers that evening and the following day had a special meaning lor them. They saw a miracle in the fact that the child was found just a few hours before the Kol Nidre services. They were also grateful to I.ouis Marshall for losing no lime in taking an interest in their fate at the most critical moment when the small community was in great danger. * * * Alter seeing the rabbi and some of the Jewish community leaders, I paid a visit to police headquarters for a talk with the chief of police. I told him frankly that I came to Massena not nnly as a newspaperman, but specifically at the 'request of Mr. Marshall, who played an active role in the political affairs of the New York State. The name of Marshall, it turned out, was well known to the chief of police, and he knew that there would be consequences. He tried to excuse m'm.M'U fur liskilig t h e rau!>i tiie i'idiCUiuuS CjUOS-

. tions; but seeing that his excuse did not impress me. he made it clear that he did the questioning under instructions from the mayor. He tried to be extremely polite to me and asked me whether he could do anything for me. I told him that the only thing be could do would be to permit me to use his telephone for a call to New York to Mr. Marshall. This, f pointed out, would give him the opportunity to hear what I was reporting to the Jewish leader on the ugly case. Mr. Marshall was glad to hear that the case had a fortunate ending, but he was greatly upset over the fact that the rabbi had been summoned to the police headquarters and especially over the question.1; put there to the rabbi. To him the case was not ended. He asked me to return to New York as soon as possible and to ••vritc a report en the case. The report was published not only in the Jewish Telegraphic Agency service, but also in the general press. The New York Sun, an important conservative afternoon newspaper which did not usually pay much attention to matters of Jewish interest, went out of its way to feature the story prominently and to carry editorial comment in it. •

•

Recently I bad the pleasure of reading a vi:ry stimulating pass. i\lH> from writings of one of the leading European Rabbis of the nineteenth century—Rabbi Hayyim of Zanz. Ik: presented his readers with the following parable. A wanderer in the forest, having lo«;t his way, was delighted to see a .•Granger approaching. Speaking to the newcomer, he said; "f have been .searching for a path to lead me out. Can you help me?''

•••'"'

The stranger answered: ''1 too have been wandering, but 1 can help you to this extent. Do not take the way 1 have been following, for that will k-ad you nowhere, and now let us look for a new road together." Basically, in terms of our spiritual accomplishments, most of us have been following paths in a forest leading nowhere. Kosh Hashanah. as a period of soul-searching, affords us the opportunity of reflecting on the futility and emptiness that characterize the man who is lor;t. Together, inspired by the exalting qualities of our High Holiday observance, we can seek to help each other in our respective search for the better way.

Beyond the traditional meanings of Rosh Hashanah, each Jew finds especially significant meaning for himself in the New Year as it approaches. For the Jewish members of the military who are engaged in the great task of preserving peace, this Rosh Ilashanah is both ominous and hopeful. The old year is ending in a state of crises. Many of our brothers have fallen in the battle for peace and freedom for all men. Their names are gone from the Great Book of Life that is sealed on Yom Kippur, but we will always remember them. Standing here, at the dawn of a new year, the soldier cannot help but wonder whether he, too, will be inscribed in the Book of Life for the coming year. The message of Rosh Hashanah is very real to him: search the inner self and set his house in order. But, the new year brings hope with it. Not only the hope that this will be a better year, but the hope that his coming year will witness the improvement in self through spiritual and intellectual growth. For it is through this maturity that one finds himself better ublo to cope with the realities of his situation; and, therefore, of even greater importance, he is truly participating in the mission of Israel to establish the reign of truth and peace in this world. From the Jewish community of Offult to the Jewish community of Omaha go our sincere wishes for a New Year of peace, health, and joy.

The culminating point of this first r i t u a l blood libel case against Jews in an American commnniiy—aim happiiy me oniy such cusc— was reached when the mayor of .Massena was .summoned to Albany, the state capital, together with the rabbi, where he gave a written apology to the rabbi. This was done at the request of JMr. Marshall who, In a letter to the mayor, demanded that he not only apologize publicly, but thai he also resign from his position as mayor "for the abuse of his official position in encouraging Ihe circulation of an unspeakable calumny." Mr. Marshall gave the mayor a fe^v days to act, otherwise he informed him.he would institute proceedings, cs president of the American Jewish Committee, before the Appelate Division of the Supreme Court, for his removal from office "on the ground of official misconduct." Mr. Marshall was not only a great Jewish leader but also a great lawyer, and the mayor of Masenna knew that he meant what he said. In fact, Mr. Marshall later wrote to the rabbi in Massena that he should not have accepted the mayor's written apology without insisting on his resignation.

"Learning! Learning! Learning! That Is the Secret of Jewish Survival." Achad Ha1 am

Lag Ba'Omer recalls tho bold bid for freedom made by Bar Kochba against tho tyrannical oppression of the Romans in 135 C.E. Forbidden to study Torah, Rabbi Akiba and his disciple, Simeon Bar Yohai, defied Roman attempts to halt Jewish independence and kept alive the torch of Jewish learning.

"The Scholars' Festival" emphasizes the zealous devotion to the study of Torah and Jewish learning that has characterized the Jewish people throughout history. Reminiscent of the struggle for freedom by Bar Kochba, Lag Ba'Omer is usually observed by participation in outdoor activities, picnics, sports, and games with bow and arrows.

Temple Israel Message From' HL Brooks A New Year with its irt-i.li opportunities and hopes makes us think of the pa<-t u.ir in terms ol judgment. No life is without its trials and pjnu jnd losses. Nor is there a life without blessing jn it. Still it is worthwhile to ponder whether the year which is past •was a good one \V<is it good in quality? Was the year well speni jn the pursuit oi he-ting values? Was this past year one in which vte grew in wisdom, in maturity, in understanding of the purposes of our life0 What a gieat \ear it was in .scientific advance! We learned to much about our world and the universe in which it is cradled. Man's mind reached out farther than ever before. But did his spirit? Did we loam any better how to live with our neighbors? And by • neighbors ' we now must mean any man anywhere on earth. In this past jear we looked close upon the surface of the moon. K is no longer a speculation to say that one day man will walk upon the moon. There is a contrast of purpose with a lesson in it: Our generation is driving hard, spending our fortunes seemingly without limit to reach the moon But in Jewish tradition our People blessed the moon! The pious cf our people .saw m the changing season the lessons of life, the miracle of time infused with beauty and mystery and sanctity. A new moon was u tune to give thanks for life and love, for new opportunity and the wonder of God's ongoing creation. So we bless the moon and in so doing, bless life and consecrate ourselves to time rathir than space, to values rather than things. May the coming year be a good one. May it be a year that will see an increase in peace among men, a lessening of horrors cf war and conihet. Let us bless the New Year and in so doing, give thanks to n<yj for the pilt of life, the wonder of time. And may we consecrate ourselves to U'-e the time he has allotted to us for all that is good.

By Harold U. Window By I1AKOLI) V. KUi.Yl.OW As a professional book reviewer and literary critic, it is my chore — anil sometimes my pleasure--to keep up with the constantly growing fiction published in*the United States that is concerned with Jews, that it is written by Jews and, I soructiiiiea suspect, for Jewish readers. Some years, the hooks arc better than they are in other years. And, as often happens, the product of one year is worse than that of the previous year. This pasi year has given us a mixed bag of Jewish fiction. , The older, established writers, have not been lazy and some of them have produced new novels. Saul Itcllow's H e r z o g , of course, was one of the most controversial works of fiction of the year. Herzog. a Jewish intellectual who cannot find peace of soul, entranced thousands of readers, but also irritated thousands more. S o m e c r i t i c s praised the book highly, and Bellow received many major literary awards and international fame. Other critics, like Maxwell Geismar, considered Herzog a failure and.Bellow.something of a literary fraud. Laura / . Ilobson, author of the famous Gentleman's Agreement, offered a new novel, First Papers, alter years of siience. R was not critically well received, for the critics believed that her tale of a Yiddish newspaper editor was more documentary than liclioi.i, and dull in the bar gain. Herman Wouk, whose earlier Jewish novels were long and ambitious, came up with an "entertainment," a basically trivial book called Don't Stop the Carnival, about a Jewish public relations man who buys a resort hotel.

Draw ins liy .fin Kitiman

Sevonfeen yeas ago, a new red-fetter date appeared on Jewish Calendars throughout fro world—Israel Indepondenco Day, ^ Israel's Independence Day signifies moro than a war between Israel and the Arab States. It is the climax of 2,000 years of striving for a Jewish homeland. Wo remember Pinsker, Heril and Wclimannl—Jews who mads a dream a living reality. They and many others felt, a kinship with Jews all over tho world. Their concern for Jewish oxistenco, Jewish safoty and Jewish cultural rovlval brought

about a Jewish State. The question 'Where to?' which for centuries had characterized the status of Jewry, vanished on iho niy'rtf of 'v1sy !4, 1948. No longer would Jews in distress run like bewildered scattered sheep. Thoro exists today a country which is the inheritance of Jews, which enjoys Jewish sovereignty. On Israel Independence Day, American Jews take pride in the accomplishments of this now domocracy—Israel. The Promised Land has at long last become a Land of Promise.

The Feast of Weeks

6. 7, Sivan, 5726

May 25, 26, 1966

Drawing by Sara WoskafC

The sixth of Sivan in the Jewish religious calendar commemorates a birthday that has had lasting significance for generations. Its importance merits more than a cake with 3,000 candles, for it has shed more light to guide man than candles ever could. The sixth of Sivan is the Festival of Shavuot, and we commemorate the revelation of the 10 commandments. Passover freed the Jew from slavery in Egypt, It was his Declaration of Independence—but io enjoy his new-found freedom, the Jow needed iaws. He had to learn that with liberty comos responsibility.

The revelation of Torah at Sinai has been acknowledged by Jew and non-Jew alike as having a monumental effect on the thoughts and acts of man. The moral teachings of this code of laws are preserved not only on the scroll of the Torah, but within virtually every attompt to establish a meaningful system of principles, ethics and government—from Justinian's Code to the American Constitution. Shavuot commemorates the founding of a new way of life. It is fitting that Jews, who introduced these guides of behavior to the entire world, should set aside a holiday to remember the event, to ponder it, and to rejoice in it.

Tishah B'Av

July 26, 1966

Drawing by Pearl Httzog

Tishah B'Av gives expression to the grief of Jews of all times and all places concerning the tragedies recorded in the history of the Jewish people. Wo mcurn the loss of the land, the dcstruc* tion of the ancient Temples, the^ centuries of homoloss wandering, of persecution and of tolerance to which our people have been subjected, Tishah B'Av summons the world to review .the tragedies that have confronted the Jewish people; the trials and tribulations; the agony and mar-

tyrdom; during the centuries of the Diaspora. Tishah B'Av summons modern Jewry to ponder the steadfast loyalty of their forefathers to Judaism; to reflect on the heritage that has been preserved and handed on at the cost of infinite "blood, sweat and tears." Similarly Tishah B'Av stirs the Jew to a keener concern for the Jews in our own time who are iho victims of intolerance and persecution. It bids the Jew to assume his responsibility of bringing closer the day of peace and justice for all men.

QUESTION: Why is the Shofar blown at (wo different parts of -•• senses- and Irwia Faust, NIRSMIson discloses a small talent, ihe services on Kosli iiasiianah morning? ANSWER: It seems that the Shofar was originally blown at dawn in order to comply with the principle that the "phis perform their religious obligations as early as possible (Talmud Pesachim 4A). In the synagogue ritual the Shofar, therefore, originally took place during the early morning prayers of Shaeharith. Certain events occurred either in the Hadrianic.persecutions of the second century, or the period immediately following the death of Hadrian, which forced the Jews to transfer the Shofar blowing to the late morning Musaf service. It appears that the sounding of the Shofar in the early morning service or at'dawn was mistaken by some to indicate that the people of Israel were calling for a rise to arms against the Romans. They thus forbade the Shofar from being used. By transferring the Shofar ritual to the late morning Musaf service it seemed to have been evident that (he Shofar was being used only as part of the Synagogue service and nothing else. Once the situation was not dangerous anymore the Jews still retained two sets of Shofar rituals. The one in the Musaf service was retained there, perhaps as a memorial of the persecution which forced the Jews to place it there. The other was moved, to a period between the reading of the Torah and the Musaf service. Some claim that it was instituted there so that on the one hand the latecomers who missed the Shacharith service would not miss hearing the Shofar. Also that those who were unable to stay long enough to hear the entire Musaf service would be able to hear the Shofar at least after the reading of the Torah, >,

s "Remember the Sabbath uay, to keep it Holy""—Exodus 2G:S

Diuulni; by Anllu Kulakofsky

In the annual cycle of Jewish religious observances, the most significant has been -the Sabbath. No other holy day observance is included in the Ten Commandments. Only the Sabbath was listed among the basic requirements of Judaism. The most obvious reason for resting every seventh day is humanitarian. There aro many who believe that the concept of a day of rest is the most important contribution of fhe Jew to civilization. Modern efficiency engineers document the wisdom of the ancient Jewish belief that man must have periodic intervals of rest if his productive potential is to be realized.

But the physical rest of the Sabbath is only part of its importance. The Sabbath reminds us week by week that there are higher goals in life than material success. It prevents us from reducing our lives to the level of a machine. "More than Israel preserved the Sabbath, the Sabbath preserved Israel," said Aciiad Ha'am. And so if has been throughout tho ages. The tenderness and strength of Jewish family life nourished by the Sabbath eve home rituals and the joy and the calm of the Sabbath Day have sustained the Jewish people through their most painful periods of history.

A recently published essay in Time magazine, c a l l e d "The New American Jew," noted that in an earlier generation no Jew thought of asking himself what a Jew was. A Jew was a Jew. But the largest Jewish community on earth, finding now that pressures are removed ami Hifierc-nces b e t w e e n it and the Christian community bridged to a large extent, increasingly keeps on a s k i n g "What is a Jew?" and "What do I do about it?" The essay, observing the superficialities of J e w i s h n e s s marked by casual synagogue attendance, low religious vitality, adult Jewish ignorance, concentration on fund-raising d r i v e s and concern about i n t e r m a r riage, concludes with a significant'warning: "There is a growing awareness that, without the light of religion, n e i t h e r the United Jewish Appeal, nor vacations in Israel, nor psychoanalysis nor Phi Beta Kappa will keep the word Jewish from watering down in America to a something as unspecific as the word Protestant can be." The troubling question at this time is how to live a full and satisfying Jewish life of identification with the Jewish people that has meaning and purpose and is not just a badge or label.

(Chief J'J'A Correspondent in Isi'iK'l)

The closinj; days of the ycr>r 5725 find Israel locked in an unprecedented election-eve struggle which may well drastically niter its internal political map. There is little point in venturing predictions. These will be Israel's first flections the outcome of which even the most seasoned observer could not predict without leaving1 himself open to a very wide margin of error. Mapni Split The split within Mapal lias introduced a new and novel clement, the impact of which it is a.s yet hard to evaluate in terms of the full ramification.'! rif its possible repercussions. It is true that the general consensus at the time o[ this writing appears to be that the BenGurionled list has by no means ;i chance of sweeping victory. Yet, many would agree that the force of Gen Gurion's personality must not be undereutmated, nor the ability of his top lieutenants. Surely, the B. C breakaway from Mapai has produced :ni atmosphere charged with drama, in which no surprises can look too improbable. Besides its direct impact on Ihe Mapai voter, the split has iilso introduced an important psychological element. With the conclusion of the alignment between Mapai and Ahdut Avoda on the one hand, and the alignment between Herut and the Liberal Party on the other, it seemed clear that the major battle would he fought between these two major blocs. The split within Mapai has shifted the focus of attention to the B. G. —Eshkol struggle "stealing" the major part of the limelight—a fact which may have an impor-

tant bearing on the vast area of interests and of the real inthe "noilcommitted" voters. terests of the Arab countries. As the weeks proceed and A number of Arab countries polling day draw.*; nearer, the from the very outset made it .struggle is hound to get hotter, .clear that they would not fol-1 and there is little doubt that low Nasser's line of "sanctions* these will be the sharpest fought against Bonn and tho.se who, for elections ever witnessed in Js- one reason or another, agreed suffers a total defeat -- which seems unlikely—the forthcoming elections may well introduce new trends and pattern;; in Israel's political life. For better or for worse. •

West Germany On Use wider scene, too, the past year was no less packed with developments. There was the dramatic development of Israel's relations with Western Germany culminating in the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The emotional aspect involved aside, it represented a major political victory for Israel coming, as it did, on the heels of Bonn's initial surrender to Nasser's threats and in face of s h a r p Arab opposition and Ihfeats of reprisals. The fact that Bonn decided to ignore it and offer Israel the establishment of full diplomatic relations constituted a heavy blow to the Arabs' anti-Israel p o l i c y of blackmail and to the prestige of President Nasser in particular. Subsequent developments revealed the true weight of Nasser's claim to "Pan-Arab" leadership. It proved—if proof were indeed needed — that the surrender to Nasser's blackmail is by no means a precondition for the maintenance of friendly relations between the West and the Arab world; that rather the true basis for such relations lies in a sober and proper appraisal of the underlying mutual

out, merely paying lip service. Indeed, Nasser himself is far from ready to forego the benefits inherent in the maintenance of friendly relations with Western Germany. Tliis was a lesson of b rcat import — and one which one hopes will not go unnoticed in other Western capitals, especially in Washington. There may be many reasons why Washington should continue extending vast aid to Mr. Nasser, but there is no reason why the USA should be paid back for it by the burning down of the Kennedy Library in Cairo, by the vitriolic anti-American propaganda conducted in the Egyptian press and over Cairo radio, and by other of Nasser's activities aimed at undermining the West's position in the Middle East and on the African continent. Arab Set-Hacks The setback suffered by Nasser was demonstrated not only in this case: it was a manifestation of a much deeper trend that has set in the past year in the Arab world vis-a-vis Nasser's claim to leadership. Besides the dangerous economic deterioration at home, Nasser was, over the past.year, continuing to face a costly stalemate on the Yemen front, where more than 50,000 of his troops are tied down and suffering heavy casualties. The coup in Algeria brought about the loss to Nasser one of (Continued on Page 40.)

A Very Happy Hew Year

By Kubbi Jacob .NYusncr As.sistant I'roiVssor ol Keli^inn Dartmouth College The American Jewish Congress, which sulfced considerable criticism last year for its decision to challenge tin.' Con. Ktitutionahty of the federal Aid to Education Act in order to protect the wall separating (and protecting) both. C h u r r h and State, issued a magnificently eloquent and dignified defense of its action. At the .same time, it threw down a gauntlet, to Jewry! "Arc we so poor in spirit, so lacking in commitment to our tradition, that ue cannot maintain the necessary institutions of Jewish ('(Iiic.'.tion u 1 (li o u t Federal support'.' What is the use of our physical and cultural resources . . . i f ne must depend nil the government to transmit our precious heritage to our children'.'" The Congress criticizes, by implication, the supporters of Jewish day schools who have favored Federal support for private and parochial education. education Crisis The unhappy truth is that these supporters have f o u n d through bitter experience, that American Jewry is indeed too poor in spirit and too lacking in commitment- to Jewish tra dition to maintain the needed educational institutions. Many Jewish communities utterly fail to support day s c h o o l s and Yeshivot, The problem is deeper than that, however. We might as vve'l face the fact that American Jewish education, at all levels.

fjces in coming years, a deepening crisis. It is a crisis not only of funds, but of moaning value, and effectiveness. The fact is that American Jewry has not yet found a way to give to its children knowledge of, and loyalty to, Judaism. The Kxcepticns The exceptions, and t h a n k Clod there are many, to this rule, are the graduates of the day schools, the intensive educational program of orthodox and conservative Judaism, those aroused to devotion to Jewish learning in the reform youth movements, in Zionist y o u t h groups, and alike, and the handful who have actually studied in the State of fsrael. But the average graduate of orthodox, relorm and conservative synagogue schools whom I have seen knows a little bit about the technical skills needed for synagogue participation, and nothing else, except that Jewish education is a bore. He has never heard that Judaism d e m a n d s ethical and moral commitments. He does not know that his idealism, his willingness to give himself to the improvement of the human tradition, his dedication to human freedom and human dignity, are all attitudes which are at the very heart of the Jewish enterprise, and which are supposed to be the psrpcsc and goal of Jewish existence. He may have heard cliche's, but he knows they are cliche's If he has seen living Judaism, the commitment of tho community and the rabbinate to social action and civil rights, he is impressed, and yet troubled. He is troubled because the

Jew he has seen, the life in the name of Judaism he has witnessed, do not express such commitments and idealism, nor welcome them. The I'roblenis Four factors help us to understand this strange and curie/us estrangement, b e t w e e n idealistic young people and the Jewish heritage, which, through the prophets and the rabbis of the Talmud, through the tradition of suffering .':nd of service, gave the word the conception that true religion is measured by ethical and moral commitment. The lirst is that the Jewish school curriculum has reduced Judaism to the abe's „.' 1Hebrew, a few basic 'synagogue skills,' and a mass of liigli-falutin' verbiage which the rhild cannot grasp. The second is that the Jewish community has reduced Jewisli education to tht earliest years alone, so that in the adolescent and'inaturing ages, the richest and most exciting of life for many people, Judaism hovers in the background as an irrelevant and childish game, played for a few days a year to please parents or grandparents, and lias no chance to speak in mature language to young adults. The third is »hat t!ie Jewish community in its private life has sold itself in tim satauic demands for ever-rising material comfort, to the crassest and meanest part of man's personality, to the service of money and the things money will buy, so that the profession of g r e a t ideals, measured against the gross realities of our private and public lives (in orgiastic celebrations of 'relig'nus' occasions, for instance.) appears correctly, to be hypocritical. Finally, the Jewish cornmun(Continued on Page 55.)

Israel at U.N. (Continued from Page 34.) is a full member of '"the club," freely and respectfully acknowledged us a U.N. member in excellent standing. An example is whaL happened when David Horowitz, Governor of the Dank of Israel, proposed a plan Tor improving internation_i {-"{jo. jj, became known officially <is ''the Horowitz plan." It was published in a special report by the World Hank, it was scanned and debated. Some day, it might even be adopted. But whether the Horowitz ideas are followed or not, their projection showed that Israel receives at-, tcntion. Sabbatical The year 5725 was not an exciting year—except negatively — to the U.N. as a whole, including Israel. But was the year a loss? Probably not. The world organization may have needed this hiatus; it would probably gain in the long run by this unwanted sabbatical. The sabbatical year is a custom of Hebrew o r i g i n , The world has accepted such a period in many fields. Now the U.N., too, has had its sabbatical. netter things are expected for 572G—for nil, including Israel. The apparatus, is here—and Israel is very much a part of it. L'shonah tovah! *

Stevenson One more important item need be mentioned in connection with the year 5725 at the United Nations. We, and the world, lost Adlai E. Stevenson, quite suddenly, tragically r.nd at a time when he seemed to have reached the height of vigor. There have h e e n occasions when Stevenson's warmth toward Israel, in its disputes with the Arabs, was Questioned by some here. But it was only in December 10GI, when ''the Governor," as he was called, proved Ills real attitude toward Israel. Against the combined wrath of the Soviet Union and el the Arabs, he saved Israel from severe censure by (lie Security Council, as a result of an Israeli air raid against Syria. That action was carried out by Israel in retaliation for Syrian gun attacks on Israeli (owns nenr (he Syrian border. The Arabs and (heir Russian pals had a great lime there.

Through Mr. Stevenson's behind-the-scenes work, a resolution v/ar, introduced jointly by the U.S.A. and Britain, merely telling both the Syrians and the Israelis to be good boys and stop fighting. The air raid was not even mentioned. The USSR cast its 104th veto—killing the resolution. But eight of the Council's 11 members voted for the measure. Israel was acquitted—due largely to Mr. Stevenson's work. Let that stand on one of his memorials.

300 Years of'Jewish Settle By RAPHAEL ROTHSTEI.V To n i j s t Amc-ricaii tourists the Virgin Islands mean crystal clear waters, gleaming beaches and duty-free shopping;. Few of the several thousand American Jews who each year vacation in the Virgin Island.; realize that the main Island—St. Thomas— boasts a Jewish community dating back to 1(163 when the Islands were known as the Danish West Indies, It is also a little known fact that tli'.1 early Jewish settlers on St. Thomas had been instrumental in helping the American colonies defeat the British in the American revolution. The story rif the Jews in the Caribbean oiten reads like an adventure story in w h i e h they are seen combatting pirates, dealing in slaves, defying Great B r i t a i n and surviving catastrophic h u r r i canes and lires. A few years ago Isidor Piewonsky, a member of the prosperous St. T h o m a s merchant family and the brother of the present governo- of the Virgin islands, wrote a short history of the Jew:; of the Virgin Islands in response to requests voiced by hundreds of visitors to the St. Thomas synagogue, an impressive lofty w h i t e building built in the Sephardic style. In Iiis introductions to Mr. Paiewonsky's history novelist Herman WoulC a resident of St. Thomas, described the synagogue as "an important architectural monument of the Jewish people in the New World." «> * * The Island of St. Thomas was officially settled in 1CG5 and there is documentary evidence of Jews living there from that time. Originally they came to St. Thomas as ship o w n e r s , chandlers, brokers and as slave traders. The slave trading between Guinea and the Danish West Indies and the exporting of rum, molasses and other products to Europe resulted in rich profits for these Jewish pioneers in.the new world. In addition to the merchant adventurers r e s i d e n t in St.

ed away from the Island. In 1890 the census reported HI Jews in St. Thomas. In 1!)M at the time of Rabbi Cardoze's death only a handful were left, probably no more Ihan 40. Kabbi Cardoze was succeeded in 191-1 by Moses R. Basso, who in 1917 was the only authorized minister in St. Thomas on hand to witness the transfer of the Virgin Islands from Denmark to the United States. The Jews in St. Thomas had fared well under the Danes and had held many positions of trust. It will be recalled that in Hill Denmark became the first nation to grant (he Jews full civil .status. In 1942 there were only about

The first Jewish House of Worship, erected in (he island about 1730 was destroyed by fire in 1801, as was the one (hat followed in 1S31. Some of its Torahs are close to LO ' O years old, the benches are of solid mahogany and the floor is covered ivith sand, to commemorate the Jews' wandering in (he Sinai Desert. I'abbi Moses I). Sasso, whose ancestors have lived in the Virgin Islands or oilier parts of (he West Indies for more than 200 years, has been serving as its spiritual leader for the past 51 years. scribing the island as a "nest of vipers . . . deserving a scrouging . . . " in a letter to a fellow Naval officer Rodney claimed that had it not been for the St. Eustasius traders the American rebellion could not have subsisted. Fearful of their future at the hands of the enraged British, the Jewish merchants took tlieir families and w h a t e v e r they could salvage from their fortunes and fled to nearby St. Thomas. Jewish Population Since l'JO.'i only three rabbis have served the Jews of St. Thomas. In 1863 Rabbi N. N. Nathan assumed the pulpit of the Synagogue and held it for four years. He was succeeded by Reverend David C a r d o z e who began service in the St. Thomas Synagogue as assistant to Rabbi Nathan in 18G1. Rabbi Cardoze served until his death in 1941 at the age of 90. It was during his reign of office that the fortunes of the Jews in the Virgin Islands declined. With the ad /ent of steam.

Thomas there is also proof that some Jews lived on the Island of St. Thomas as shopkeepers and peddlers. It is probable that these early settlers worshipped privately for there is no record of a synagogue in St. Thomas. St. Eustatius The real growth of the Jewish population, according to Mr. Paiewonsky, came in the years following 1781, as a direct result of the destruction by the British of the nearby Dutch West Indian Island of St. Eustatius. St. Eustatius or Statia, as it was called, is a small rocky patch of land in the Caribbean but during the period of the American Revolution it figured prominently in the s t r u g g l e against the British. Due to its status as a free port, St. Eustatius attracted a large number of Sephardic-Jewish traders who, together with some Gentile merchants, prospered by supplying the h a r d pressed American revolutionary forces with military supplies. The supply of arms to the colonies was a serious cause of friction between England and Holland. The situation in the eyes of British became intolerable and in December 17EO Rritain declared war against the Dutch and deployed a fleet under Admiral Rodney to wipe out the St. Eustatijus trading settlement. In February 1781 Rodney struck, captured the i s l a n d and destroyed ihe business center. De-

Jewish Year in Washington BY MILTON IKIEDMA.V A number of events of special Jewish interest highlighted the last year on the domestic scene. Jews made news not only of concern merely to persons of Jewish faith but figured in events that excited the illumination of (he American public in general. GOLDKICKG The len.st expected and most dramatic happening was President Johnson's surprise announcement of the appointment of I he only Jew serving on the United Stales Supreme Court, Associate Justice Arthur J. Goldberg, to replace the late Adlui Sluvrmsoii :m American ambassador to the United Nations. .Selection of a Jew who openly proclaimed his idenHficalion with Zionism stunned tr.T cliiion.'tl-niinc'cd elements in the State Department. P.ut Mr. Goldlicrg's Jewish background did not deter the Senate from rapidly and enthusiastically confirming the appointment'. AUK 1'OUTAS The year, also witnessed Hit; appointment of Abe Forlas. a well-known Washington Attorney, to the .Supreme Court to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mr, Goldberg. Mr. Fort as made clear that he wished to be identified as Jewish although bis affiliations with Jewish religious and related causes were not as pronounced as those of Mr. Goldberg. Kortas is a jurist of stature who is .said by colleagues to be motivated by Jewish prophetic conceptions of' justice and hunianiUirianism.

The Jev/s of tercel "There is no problem as important to us as strengthening that which has been accomplished in Israel with amazing energy and willingness for sacrifice. The cause to be served by this achievement is the rescue of our endangered brethren, scattered in many lands, by uniting them in Israel, and the creation of a community which believes in the ethical ideas of our people throughout history. The Jews of Palestine did not fight for political independence for its own sake. They fought to gain free immigration for the Jews of many countries where their very existence was in danger; they fought also for free immigration for all those who were longing for a life among their own.

Happy New. Year

What Is a Jew? The bond that has united Jews for thousands of years and that unites them today is the democratic ideal of justice, together with the ideal of aid and tolerance among all men. The contribution of a weekly day of rest should be remembered as a blessing to all mankind. The second main feature of Jewish tradition is the high regard it has for intellectual goals and spiritual striving. This is what is solely responsible for the contributions the Jews have made toward the progress of knowledge. These two t r a i t s seem to me basic. They are given from parents to children; they fill the Bible; they stamp the character of our community life. In these ideals I see the real qualitv of Jewish nature. March, 1919 Albert I'nsteiii
