Youth Council Pledge Brunch

Baltimore (JTA)—State Senator Paul Dorf called on Dr. Wilson H. Elkins, president of the University of Maryland, to investigate charges • that s o m e members of the institution's faculty engage in practices that "many consider outright antiSemitic." At the same time, the Baltimore Jewish; Times, local weekly, demanded that "professors, instructors or t e a c h e r s guilty of such prejudice be dismissed."

Holiday Test The charges of anti-Semitism were voiced first by Diamondback, the student newspaper at the university. According to Diamondback, a German-language teacher at the university had scheduled an examination on the first day of Rosh Hashanah this year, threatening students who would absent themselves from that test with the equivalent of a failing mark.

Later, the instructor canceled the quiz, telling those students who came to the examination: "I hope those of you who showed. up will not go to hell." One professor was quoted by the student newspaper as saying: "Rabbis have enough to do this time of year without having to issue

excuses for absences by Jewish students."

In his letter to Dr. Elkins, Sen. Dorf wrote that he would like to have additional information about "conditions on the campus of any minority group being discriminated against." He told the university president: "I, along with other proper authorities, can take steps to see that this condition is i m m e d i a t e l y changed."

Henee B'ishel and Steve Hoberman, co-chairmen, have announced that "plans are nearing completion for the Youth Council Pledge Brunch set for Sunday, jiainfe i on the int-inbei'ship November 7 at the Jewish Comroster of every Jewish Women's munity Center."

Sitnhat Torah Day For Soviet Jews "I'he Source," James A. Michcner's latest novel, may well prove to be an all-time record breaker even for the best-selling Mr. Aiichi'iier. Jn the four months the novel has been out, sales are close to 170,000 and they are averaging 10,000 weekly.

Also good news for Mr. Michener. who is recovering nicely from the heart attack he suffered a few weeks ago, is the praise his book about Israel as the birthplace of three great religions has been receiving from religious leaders of many denominations. It has also attracted considerable favorable attention in Israel, The first copies of the novel to be distributed anywhere reached Israel just before the American publication when 500 copies, with a special introduction by Mr. Michener, were given to visiting dignitaries at the opening of the Israel Museum. "'Jlie Source' is available in the Jewish Federation Library at the Jewish Community Center.

According to a report by Dr. Hans Falk in a recent issue of the St. Louis Jewish Light, there a p p e a r s to be a unanimous opinion by Jewish teenagers that interdating and intermarriage will either continue at the present level or increase very greatly.

Dr. Fnlk spent a week at the Camp B'nai B'rith in Starlight, Pa., at the annual International Leadership Training Conference for BBYO. Dr. Fallc questioned many of the 105 teenagers on the subjects of interdating and iintr't'niaii ifigt.

Prefer Jews According to Dr. Falk, the majority of the teenagers would perfer to marry Jews and make some effort in that direction.

But none would forgo dating for any'length of time in case Jewish partners were not available.

"There was unanimous opinion on the part of everyone I talked to" said Dr. Falk, "about the general trend. All seemed to agree that interdating and intermarriage would either continue at present levels or increase very greatly."

"It was somewhat surprising'' continued Dr. Falk. "that tho c a m p e r s I talked to did not seem to feel that intermarriage would necessarily mean the dc-

Jewish Scientists Stockholm (JTA)—Two American Jewish s c i e n t i s t s were named along with a Japanese physicist, as winners of the Nonel prize in physics for 1365.

They are Dr. Richard V. Vcynmann, 47, Coleman professor of theoretical physics at the California Institute of Technology, and Dr. Julian Schwinger, also 47, professor of physics at Harvard University. Bolh were bom in New York City.

Dr. Feynman is a member of the Royal Society of London and_ of the National Academy of Sci-' ence. He won the Albert Einstein Award of the Institute for ^'/.vanced Studies at Princeton in 1954 and the Einstein Award of the Albert Einstein Medical Colicge of Yeshivn University.

Dr. Schwinger also is a member of the National Academy of Science which honored him with its Nature of Light award in 7949.

struction or decline of Jewish identification and life. T h e r e was the repeated comment that Jewish life will never again be the type of Jewish existence that we and our parents have known.

The boys and girls were sure there would be changes, but they did not know what they would be or what kind of Jewish life there would be. They only knew that somehow it would exist, and that somehow it would differ."

"While it is true that intellectually these youngsters would rank high, a great many had only the vaguest notion about principles and concepts pertaining to Judaism and its traditions. Nor were they, on th» whole, able to see clear connections between the concerns of our age and the Jewish religion."

Dr. Falk suggests that the attitudes expressed by the young people interviewed r a i s e s a great many questions.

Questions "It makes me wonder" he said, "to what degree all the indoctrinaljmj t!iat [gr niany years has taken place at home and certainly in Hebrew schools has impressed these y o u n g sters.

Why is it that the effects seem to shrink both in the area of knowledge as well as in attitudes?"

"Another question (hat arises is , this? Are we demonstrating to these youngsters the relevance of Jewish thought and values in everyday iiving? One camper wanted to know what there was in Jewish values thai could not be gotten from Ethical Culture and Unitarisnum. The point that neither of these can draw on Jewish peoplehood and tradition six thousand years old only raised another question.

"What has tradition to offer us, except sermons on what the Tornh says is allowed or forbidden?"

"Do we really tall: to our teenagers , or merely at them?

Do we listen to them or just let their words fall on unhearing ears? W h a t relevance do we demonstrate J e w i s hness and Judaism to have in this day in 1905? Our c h i l d r e n want to know!"

New York (JTA) — Tens of thousands of Moscow Jews of all ages danced and sang for hours outside the Central Synagogue of Moscow in celebration of Simhat Torah, U was reported iiere from Moscow, The synagogue itself was packed with 3,000 persons attending tlie three hour services with many more unable to enter.

The assembly was about the same size as that of last year's Moscow celebration but the percentage of young Jews was higher, the reports stated. S o m e youths brought guitars and one b r o u g h t a tape recorder on which he had recorded Yiddish melodies.

Two spotlights on the synagogue portico picked out light snow falling on the crowd which filled almost the entire block of the Arkhipova Street in downtown Moscow. Trafiic stopped at both ends of the street. A few policemen wandered through the crowd but no one seemed to pay them any attention. Hie high proportion of young people in the crowd was interpreted by foreign observers in Moscow as confirming the reports that a feeling of Jewish identity is growing among young Jews born under the Soviet regime despite the fact that Jewish cultural life is being suppressed in the Soviet Union.

Berlin (JTA)—A stunned audience left the Volksbuehne Theater here this week, after the premier of "The Investigation," a documentary play on the horrors of the Auschwitz death camp based on the trial of the 20 Nazi camp officials which concluded in Frankfurt this summer. The play, which was also performed simutaneously in 14 other East and West German theaters, was written by Peter Weiss, a German-born Jew now living in Sweden, who used his own notes on the testimony of the trial which he attended.

A Community That Cares'

As cities go, Omaha is a prosperious place; its facilities are growing, its businesses thriving . . . its people secure.

Yet many citizens don't share the community's food fortune.

They may be sick, or handicapped, emotionally troubled, or just temporarily out of work. But the" r.^ed he!1?

And help is available here because the community plans for human emergencies through UCS and its 29 "people-care" agencies.

Altogether, these agencies provide nearly CO separate services for people in need. With our help, UCS can be the difference between a hungry, frightened child and a happy one . . . a broken family and a stable home . . . a homeless old person and a secure one . . . even life and death through an agency like the Red Cross Blood Center.

In short, UCS does everything you would do individually if you could. And it needs your support.

Your one gift to UCS works all year long in Omaha meeting human needs where they are.

Jn special InsUinrvs numes will be withheld If requested. The opinions expressed In this column are those of the letter writers or the editor and does not necessarily express the opinion of the Omaha Jewish Federation.

DO YOU CAKE? As an active member of Omaha DDG, I find the need urgent to acquaint the community with our pressing problem. Stated simply, every BBG chapter in Omaha is in desperate need of capable advisors, At> present, each chapter has only one or two advisors; the ideal number is three or four.

Most adults, whether or not they are parents of teenagers, do not realize what the B'nai E'rith Youth Organization really is. A large percentage of Omaha Jewry believe that BBYO is a synonym for dances and parties only. Few people realize, nor do they care to investigate, all the programs which BBYO includes.

When was the last time you asked your teenager what was done at a meeting, or what his club was planning?

Of course the social aspect is an integral part of BBYO, but it takes'its rightful place alongside religion, leadership, creativity, individual development and community service.

The appalling apathy among adults is expressed by the lack of advisors. The whole future of the Omaha Jewish community depends upon the teenagers of today, II there is no guiding hand to see us through our formative years, then surely we ' cannot be expected to perpetuate Jewish community fife for future generations.

AZA. the brother organization of BBG, has been extremely successful in. attracting capable advisors.-For some unknown reason, however, the women of Omaha have turned us down.

Perhaps it is due- to the fact that they do not realize how much we really need them and how rewarding it can be for them as •well. Simple arithmetic will show

Avcva Hahn, Editor Ediar BBG The New Year edition was a most exciting paper. I thought your use of local people for art work "was a stroke of genius; besides adding to the artistic "tone" of the issue, it certainly is a wonderful community project.

Mrs, Sklm'y- (Adeline) Sneider Clayton, Missouri INTERFAITH DATING The reasons for avoiding interfaith dating as given in the Teen Talk column last week are cogent ones. Rabbi Brooks, as always, is eloquent in his concern.

Mrs. Hollis raises some good points, and Mrs. Friedman's words pour forth for the isolated reunit Of "iifjeCjUiVGCal'y."

But

any decision made concerning this topic without an investigation of Ben Shafton's understated comment, must necessarily be a colored one.

Ben says that there are "many other facets of a person's character which should be considered." I fully agree. To assume that any girl who is Jewish is good and should he dated seems to me equal in logic to saying that anyone who opposes the war In Viet Nam is bad and should be banished.

For those adults unable to discern what seems to me the blatant faults of many t e e n a g e Jewish girls,.surprise at the hesitancy of Jewish boys to date solely Jewish girls is probably quite natural. A l t h o u g h she seems much more sophisticated than her non-Jewish contemporary, many of us are agreed that the Jewish girl is, in fact, often quite immature, and too often shows an inability to think in any terms other than "I." When her date accords here unusual courtesies or considerations, she tends to view these as her due. In short, she displays a habitual lack of concern for her date that is u n c o m m o n among non-Jewish girls fas determined by limited personal investigations. .

If d r i n k i n g is moderately present among Jewish boys, conceit i-uns rampant among Jewish girls. ' Stcvo Lubman, Freshman University of Wisconsin

Anti-Semitism Presents New Problem for Danish Jewry

By BORIS SMOLAR Tnlk to any Jew in Denmark, and he will tell you that Jews in the country feel very :;afe politically, very secure economically and very equal with all other citizens . . . This is because Denmark is a country where anti-Semitism is not known at all.

No one knows the difference b e t w e e n Jew and non-Jew, whether in public life, or in private relaticms, or in business . . . This explains why intermarriage among non-Jews and Jews is very high . . . No Dane would understand Jewish reluctance to intermarriage . . . He would be wondering why his Jewish friends object to their boy or girl marrying his daughter or son . . . He would ask his Jewish friend with much astonishment: "Am I socially unacceptable to you? Is this the reason why you don't want your child to marry my child?".

The fact that the difference in religion may be the barrier would never enter his mind, because the country knows of no religious bias whatsoever . . .

The Minister of Economy, Henry Grucnbaum, is a Jew but nobody —neither the Jews nor the nonJews—ever mention this fact when they talk about him . . .

It makes no difference to anybody . . . The wife of the Prime Minister can tell you at a social eathering, in front of high officials and diplomats, that she believes she is of Jewish origin, without feeling anything about it . . . It is just as if she were saying that she is if Swedish or British descent; and it will be taken by the listeners in thi3 spirit.

Jewish and non-Jewish youths, being educated in the same schools and raised in an atmosphere of complete equality, certainly do not see anything wrong in intermarrying .... . Intermarriage among the 2,000 Jewish families in Dcnmark—all of whom reside in Copenhagen— therefore exceeds today 50 percent of all Jewish marriages . . .

Contributing to it is also the fact that the Jews do not distinguish themselves as a special class . . .

They are part and parcel of all classes of the population . . .

There are no poor among them, they are m o s t l y middle-class people, play no special role in b u s i n e s s , and are normally represented in trc professions . . . They assimilate not because they seek any status, but because of the normal life they live in this free and democratic country where religious intolerance is completely alien to the people.

The Future U n d e r such circumstances, what is the future of Jewishness in Denmark where there are today about 0,500 Jews? . . .

Chief Rabbi Dr. Marcus Melchior, with whom I discussed the matter, is among the optimists, v/ho believe that the Jewish community in D e n m a r k , small as it is, will not shrink through intermarriage and assimilation , , . Others are less optimistic.

The Jewish community has all the chances to survive because it is being aided by the government not only to maintain its educational and social welfare institutions, but also to impose a community tax on all those who consider themselves Jews . . . The income from this tax —reaching about $120,000 a year —is used for religious and administrative purposes by the organized Jewish c o m m u n i t y which m a i n t a i n s a very fine synagogue, an all-day school for Jewish boys and girls, two Talmud Torahs, a Jewish home for the aged, two kindergartens and a small yeshiva directed by followers of the Lubavitcher Rebce.

The community tax is a volun-

tary affair; only those who want to indicate their Jewishness pay this tax, while those who do not care to be known a.s Jews do not have to pay it . . . Nevertheless, of the 2,000 Jewish families living in Copenhagen, some ],r,00 pay this voluntary tax . . .

They include heads of very assimilatcd Jewish families as well as of intermarried families . . . Economy Minister Gruenbaum, although a Socialist and far from being religious, is one of the taxpayers, thereby going on the record officially as a member of the Jewish community.

Non-religious Jewish institutions—like a J e w i s h all day school and a Jewish home for the aged—are being maintained from government or municipal funds . . . The Jewish all-day school in Copenhagen is considered by the government as part of the country's school system and its budget is covered by the Ministery of Education . . . The Jewish home for the aged is considered part of the municipal welfare system and its budget is fully covered by the municipality . . . Furthermore, the Copenhagen municipality is now covering 04 per cent of the cost of the construction of a new home for the Jewish aged which the Jewish community has undertaken . . . This is done under the existing state system which provides free education—free medical care, oldage pensions and covers all other social welfare needs of every citizen.

Computers May Do /Vkin's Thinking

By SHELLEY GALLNER Iii this marvelous sgs of scientific revolution, we seem to have forgotten the most wonderful thing ever put on this world— man as an individual. We have built mechanical "brains" to do our work for us.

Someday, perhaps, we may, even see a battery of computers acting as the governing body of the United States, Who knows, eventually we may go before a computer to sec whether or not it is advisable to get married.

Thinking and Reason The ability to reason is what sets the human apart from all other forms of existing life. It is this same ability that computers are taking away from us. It is true, h u m a n s build t h e s e "brains" to do work in every possible subject from simple arithmetic to complex mathematics, but they also deprive many people of the opportunity to think, and thinking breeds reason.

Shortage of Leaders Effects of this scientific or computer revolution, although they are just the fringe effects, are already beginning to show.

For the iirst time since the evo-

lution of our country from a colony to a free and. independent. nation, we have a shortage of capable leaders.

There is no longer an overabundance of Patrick Henrys, Sam Adams' or even an Estes Kefauver. These were men who lived for their country, Bpoke for their country, thought and reasoned about what was tho best course of action for their country.

• Men of this stature arc scarce today because we are taught to let someone- else do our thinking for us. Eventually, this Bomeono else will not be a "someone," but an "it"—a computer. • Gullible Minds The q u e s t i o n now is not whether you are guilty of this transgression, but whether you realize It. One who deprives tho mind of exercise oLthinking and reasoning leaves it gullible.

A gullible mind is capable of believing anything that sounds logical. A gullible mind is a lazy mind, which will not search for the truth. It will accept anything it hears.

Could tliis be what pp to the people of the Soviet ion?

By Carl Aljxrt Haifa—Israel is today going through a period of new soulsearching.

J for the propaga- c A I c r l tion of this pro- - I ' gram, and if so, need the base be orthodoxy as it is known today?

This discussion is a refreshing antidote to the diet of blatant electioneering to which we are now being treated in almost lethal doses daily.

What's a Torali?

It was ten years ago that the leaders of the nation first became disturbed by the drift of Israel's youth away from the mainstreams of Jewish life. The issue was brought acutely to a head by the confessions of Sabr a youth who were visiting in Moscow. There, of all places, they were honored by the local congregation by being called to the Torah on the Sabbath, and they were publicly shamed beOf!!!!!? pnt only did they not know what prayers to say, but they did not even know what they were expected to do.

Jewish Consciousness ''We have gone too far from our father's house" said the Minister of Education, and at that moment plans were put into effect for the teaching of a new program in the schools of Israel, a program known as Jewish Consciousness. The purpose was not to make the children religious—God forbid—but to make them aware of what constitutes Jcwishncss, and of the nature ol the ties which bind them to Jews in other parts of the world.

It is interesting to note that when the Kncsseth affirmed this program o ' Jewish Consciousness in June, 1059, the Mapai Minister of Education, Zalman Aranne, lashed out against the leftist Achduth Ha-Avodah because of their opposition to the p r o g r a m .

But since I've never been short of 'Chutzpa,' I write the column with the thought that someday perhaps, an advertiser will decide to put the space to better use. Any questions?

Ardent Readers Among my most ardent readers are my children who read every word of the Press when they come home from school on Fridays. I feel certain they'd read it even if I didn't threaten to withhold the Shabbos dinner from them unless they could pass a test on the contents. I've noticed particular lines of strain on their faces when they hit this column. Their expressions seem to say "What horrors will be found in here."

ANSWER: The term is that which refers to the Sheathed Scroll There are lots of people In which is placed on the doorposts of the house. The root, "zuz," occurs in tv/o places in the Bible and means movement (Psalms this world who spend so much 50:11) (Isaiah 66:11). The doorpost or. the threshold, being a place time watching their health that where people move either in or out of the room would be a place they haven't time lo enjoy it. of movement. In later Hebrew the projectioas on buildings are called "Zizim" (Talmud, Baba Kama 82:8)—the idea being that this projection "springs forward" or "moves forward." The Mezuzah thus would get its name by virtue of its location, which is a place Ssrwiee through which movement is channeled. It thus teaches us the ideal DOWNTOWN — ROCKBROOK VILLAGE of making our movements coincide with the Almighty's v/Lslies and WMJ.
