and intragroup content. Data v.as scored as prejudiced, autiprejudiecd or neutral. The samples came from materials published by more than iu groups including Orthodox. Conservative and Reform education units. Yiddish, Zionist and independent publishers, central community groups and Jewish education bureaus. Persecution The authors found the Jewish materials relatively free of bias but noted a repeated emphasis on the themes of persecution and of the contributions of Jews to their societies. The majority of references to other groups are neither prejudiced nor antiprejudiced. Occasionally biased statements tend to be historical, castigating former or contemporary persecutors. Most of the negative references to o t h e r groups are found in stories by popular Yiddish writers, reflecting the attitudes of oppressed European Jews of their time. Christianity When Cliristianity is treated in secular power terms, such as descriptions of punitive legislation i m p o s e d on. Jews under Church auspices, the image of the Church as persecutor is in the material. When Christianity is considered as a iaith, the general tone is lacking in hostility. Most publishers tried to soften the image of the Church as oppressors by citing examples of Christian 1 a y m e n and clerics who sheltered or assisted Jews in peril.

SUGGESTION " . . . If you ever see Mickey Gerelick, tell her I'm getting the Jewish Press and enjoy reading it. I like the local news, such as who's engaged, what the kids are doing at various universities etc., much better than the Zionist and anti-Hitler propaganda. In the last issue I counted eight direct references to Hitler and four allusions. This has been going on week'after week. I think she should find someone else to pick on—preferably someone alive.'' # * * Editors note: The above is an excerpt from a letter to Mr. and
i
By David Schwartz If you keep Shabbos, it will be well with you, says the Torah and it is right. The Sabbath observers were the least hard hit in the power blackout that paralyzed everything in the eastern states. All the religious Jews had to do was to haui out their Sabbath candles. To be sure, there were some others who also had a spare candle or two. In fact, at my hotel, a couple I did not personally know, knocked at my door, offering a candle. They had a little supply and were sharing them with the tenants in the darkness. London Blackout The blackout recalled to me a story the Zionist leader, Jabotinsky, told of a blackout during the London "blitz." A child became sick and it was urgent that she be taken immediately to the hospital. But London, in terror of the Nazi bombers, was swathed in total darkness and finding one's way was not easy. However, the mother took the chiiriin b r . » m < ami stnried on the journey. jy She stopped pp various people en route and asked for directions but she soon perceived that in the dark, they were as baffled as she. Finally the mother stopped a man who was walking with a cane. "Follow me," he said, "I will take you to the hospital." He did. He was a blind man, used to the darkness. . i Friendliness Tlie more recent blackout showed up some other things. It revealed that there is a lot of good will in people. New York City has rarely revealed such an atmosphere of friendliness as was displayed during the blackout. I have mentioned the couple who knocked at my door with candles. Everywhere people were ready to help one, another with words, if not acts. It's too bad, that as soon as the emergency was over, it passed Except in an emergency, people seem to be afraid to talk to one another. A friend told me she was walking in the park recently when approaching her was an old man who was singing. She smiled to him and the old man stopped and told her how he had lost his wife and his only son and he used to travel through the park crying but now he had decided to sing instead. He was so grateful that she had given him a smile. But the experience was rewarding to her too. She had been deeply touched. People Every one of us has a little story arid If you talk to people

I'm sorry Richard is bored with the Nazi news, but hope he understands that I don't create the world news, I just print it. With reference to local news, Richard voices the feelings of many of our young people away at school—they want to hear about their friends. Once again I urge all our readers to keep the Jewish Press informed of this important local news.

We got to talking and he told me he was waiting for his wife. They had been abroad for a vacation and now were returning to Los Angeles. His wife would fly there, but lie said he was afraid to fly, so he v/ould have to "moochin ich" for four or five days on the train, while his wife got there in a few hours. It is "beshert" he went on sadly to say, for some people to "moochin" themselves all their lives and he guessed he was one of those unfortunates. •I was amused and he smiled sadly too.

just wanted to exchange a few words with someone, When we are children, we talk readily to one another but our education, I am afraid, works the other way and inhibits us and makes us strangers to one another. There was a great rabbi of the Talmud who boasted that he never waited for another to greet him. He greeted first. I salute his memory.
November 19 marked the opening of Jewish Book Month. The Union of American -Hebrew Congregations chose the same day to announce that a course in sex education will be introduced into the religious schools nagogues of the Union. Material for the couree is contained in a new book published by the Union's Department of Education, "Consecrated Unto Me" by Rabbi Roland B. Gittelsohn of Boston, Massaclmsettes. Thus Jewish Book Month opened with the announcement of the most controversial text ever written for the Jewish Classroom. « * # In his book Rabbi Gittelsohn states unequivocally, that the moral and religious education of Jewish youth must inevitably include sexual and behavioral problems. He further states that it is the responsibility of the Religious school to attempt to answer many of the preplexing questions which plague the Jewish teenager. In fourteen chapters, Rabbi Gittelsohn, with charts and illustrations, forthrightly attacks the problems of divorce, the nature.of love—spiritual and physical—the family, the pros and cons of contraception, pre-marital sexual behavior, the attitudes of various other religions toward sex, illegal abortion, and the pros and cons of intermarriage. For his factual material he draws upon biological and social studies, psychological data, and most extensively, upon specific Jewish teachings on these questions. Jewish Attitudes What is consistently stressed in "Consecrated Unto Me" is that there is nothing in the Jewish religion which is incompatible with marital sexual happiness and conjugal love; to tlie contrary, his position is that in families where Jewish precepts are followed in relation to marriage and where Jewish reiigious attitudes and values observed, the chances for a successful marriage, sexual fulfillment, and family harmony are considerably enhanced. Intermarriage Rabbi Gittelsohn, who is op posed to intermarriage, counsels "the most rigorous kind of inv ? s » > n <?,T , a p r o t r a c t c d P* riod of time" before such a step is contemplated. He cautions against haste and recommends the most scrupulous examination of the couples' motives in intermarrying. "A marriage undertaken as a weapon to punish a parent, or to strike back at an unkind fate, or to achieve a spurious sense of superiority is almost certainly bound to fail." In such a marriage, he urges conversion to Judaism by the nonJewish partner, through a vigorous course
Chaplain Paul Sivcrdlow, Jewish chaplain with the U.S. Army Forward Support Group of the Army Southern European Task Force, shows a Jewish GI the Bible on an allar table of the Spanish Synagogue in the Ghetto of Venice. The synagogue, built in 1550, was one of Venice's historic houses of worship visited by American Jewish soldiers from Chaplain Swerdlow's Task Force group stationed in VIccnza, Italy. According to (he National Jewish Welfare Board's Commission on Jewish Chaplaincy, tours of this kind are part of the year-round programs conducted by Jewish chaplains in the U.S. and overseas to give Jewish military personnel a deeper awareness of their Jewish heritage.
of study au'd a truthful acceptance of Judaism by the nonJew. Divorce Concerning divorce, Rabbi Gittelsohn agrees that marriage is a sacred covenant, and as tile Talmud siipumle;>, cuu niiu
should be broken only as a last resort. "Judaism agrees that marriage is a sacred enterprise, one into which we should not enter lightly nor with the idea that it can be easily dissolved. Tlie Talmud stipulates that a 'man should not marry a woman with the thought in mind that he may divorce her.' In our tradition divorce has always been looked upon as a pathetic tragedy . . . Yet our tradition docs not prohibit divorce . . . It recognizes that even more tragic than the separation of husband and wife is their living a life of pretense and deceit . . ." Young Marriages On the subject of the increasing tendency toward younger m a r r i a g e s, Rabbi Gittelsohn says: "There are several valid explanations. For one thing, boys and girls are- beginning to date at an earlier age. Many of them therefore start to feel bored with casual social contacts and are anxious for more advanced and sophisticated relationships with the opposite sex. Home pressure is another explanation. In some instances, parents—mothers in particular —push their adolescent youngsters—daughters especially—in the direction of marriage faster than they might otherwise be inclined to move. A third possibility is that we live in a time of tense anxiety and tension. The threat of nuclear war, the struggle over civil rights domestically, the many bewildering changes which seem to-be imminent in our social structure —all these make our age a challenging but also a threatening time in which to live. Some young people no rfniiht look toward marriage as a means of reaching for security and assurance." Sex In the chapters on sex, the book is clear and definitive. The mechanics of the human body and of sexual functioning are described with charts, data, and current information. However, Rabbi Gittelsohn concludes, "Judaism has aiways nxOKuuxd' that the sex life of human beings should be different from that of animals . . . To treat another person merely as a device by which to gratify one's own desires is to- defile God's image, both in the other person and in one's self." Dating In dealing; with teenage dating behavior and petting, Rabbi Gittelsohn is equally explicit, examining these problems from the sociological, biological, social, and ethical points'of view. "It is almost unfair of our society" he says, "to blame young people for what seems to be an increase in petting. They are given more freedom and temptation than some of them can control. Newspapers, magazines, television movies, sex appeal in advertising—all these stimulate the sexual desires of hiyli school and college students far beyond anything experienced a generation ago by their parents, The automobile and the demise of the chaperone have conspired to open up opportunities which are difficult to resist. But if the opportunities are greater than they once were, so is the danger . . . One of the tragedies of our culture is that so much petting occurs before marriage and so little occurs afterward . , ." In my opinion "Consecrated Unto Me" is a fine book, completely frank about "the facts of life" which obviously makes it a likely target for criticism. Boris Smolar, Editor of the Jewish Telegraphic A g e n c y , says in his review "What would
Rabbi Sidney II. Brooks has just returned from the Union of American Hebrew Congregations convention in San Francisco. I asked for his opinion of "Consecrated Unto Me." "I am grateful" said Rabbi Brooks "to Rabbi Gittlesohn for writing tlie book, and I ajn appreciative of the Union's courage in printing it. Tlie books helps to make clear that the marriage relationship, in all of its aspects, conies under the heading of Judaism. Rabbi Gittlesohn has performed a real service in his effort to explain love, sex and marriage within the framework of Jewish teachings. I am hopeful that properly taught to the proper age group, the book will help make marriage a better,'' happier more complete relationship for our young people." practically be considered ot>scene in other books for teenagers is presented in the UAHC book." I do not consider the book obscene in- any way, and 1 will urge my own teenage children to read it. My only reservation about the book is the advisability of using it as a text in a classroom situation. It takes a very special kind of teacher to handle a course such as this, and I'm not sure that all of the "CG4 member Reform Synamwriips of the Union" are staffed with the seasitive teaching personnel r e q u i r e d . Everything; good and positive and valuable about the book could be lost in the hands of the wrong teacher —resulting possibly in more harm than good. The theme of Jewish Book Month this year is "A Jewish Library in Every Jewish Home." In my opinion, "Consecrated Unto Me" would be an, essential part of any Jewish home library, particularly in homes with near college-age children. Somehow I feel the book may better serve its purpose in tho home than in the classroom. ("Consecrated Unto Me" is available in the Jewish Federation Library at the Jewish Community Center.)

The question is: Do you think that belonging jo a different BBYO or Synagogue Youth group than that of close friends could lessen your friendship with them? Cathy Davis, Sophomore "No. If you have a c l o s e enough friendship, then youth groups are not going to interfere. There are enough activities other than clubs that give you the opportunity to be with your friends." Steve Epstein, Junior "No. I have some close friends in chapters other than my own, who still r e m a i n my good friends, I will admit though that you see less of them than you would if they were in your own chapter." Harvey Josin, Freshman "No. I don't think being in different clubs will hurt friendchips; at least it shouldn't." •

Karen Gould, Freshman "I feel you can still be good friends because you are working toward the same goals, but it could lessen your friendship if you work for the individual chapter."

What is relevant to the civil rights struggle about the deprived Contempt for White Liberals Powell, Baldwin and Jones titillate their constituents, readers childhood is that we, the Jews, Italians and most of the others and audiences heaping sarcasm, scorn and contempt on the white could somehow get out; the Negroes couldn't.

To resists that the Negro leadership is toadying, demeaning itself by move these compulsions is what the civil rights movement is all accepting white support. Leroi Jones says he cannot mourn the about. death of white civil rights workers since he is constrained to mourn Nor do Baldwin and Jones offer us even the slightest hint of "my own dead."

They insist those of us who argue for Negro equality in sage to all whose skins are not black—"the fire next time." terms of sentimentality and enthusiasm take unfair advantage. Yet their studied attempts to shock with the mere use of tough words Powell is by far a greater imposition on the audience. But we can easily see through Adam Clayton Powell, because It is indeed true that the civil lights movement has been suche descends from an old political tradition. For 75 years the route cessful because the Negro for the first time has taken his destiny to political success in the South was to "holler 'nigger' first and in his own But Powell, Baldwin and Jones need to be careloudest." Powell has reversed the Dixie formula. He "hollers fully taughthands. about white liberals and I'll restrict myself only to the 'whitey' first and loudest." Thus he parallels the essential racist bunc-of-the-bone and blood-of-thc-blood white Southerners. corruption of the white supremacist. And there arc other parallels.

Those who question the authority of such a Jewish practice since they find no explicit mention of it in the Bible are cautioned by the Rabbinic sages to remember that accepted Jewish practices such as this are classified under the oft repeated Biblical1 command that bids us to "walk in all the ways of the Almighty' (Deuteronomy 10:12; 8:61. -The violation of r.iich a practice ir; said to car.t one into the category of those who "follow other Rods" (Deuteronomy 8:191, who cause "divisiveness" among Jews (f.o Sisgoriedu) and those who follow religious practices of foreign cuWs.

Ql'KSTION': Why (IJCS an observant Jew always wear some type of covering ovjsr hh head? ANSWK1S: The logical exjjlanation for this practice is ina.t often referred to as the reason i;iven by the Taljnudic sage, Ruv Htm.-], who would not move a distance of four cubits without bavin'* his head covered because he felt the head covering was a symbol that "The Almighty's Presence is over my lmad" (Kiddishin 31 a 1. Basically, then, the practice of covering one's head demonstrate* the feeling and belief on the part of the individual v/ho does so that there is a higher power, a Divine IJein;;. tho AIniijjhty Himself, who must always be sensed as being hiyher and more powerful than man. to whom man is always responsible for his actions. Itav Nadunan's mother always kepi his head covered so that an astrologer's prediction that he would crow up to be a thief would be thwarted (Kliahbath lafibi. The famous Chasani Sofcr. regards this observance 'mi a denioiistration of humility (Respoasa. Likkute, 2).

Tin: treasure was a looseleaf notebook with a hard, black cover, and in the notebook my mother had written or pasted all the recipes for cakes, coffee cakes, and cookies she had collected since her marriage. For today's recipes I have selected Irom the notebook two very old fruited loaf cakes. In the original recipes butter was specified as the shortening to be used. However, the excellent margarines now available will produce equally good results. To obtain the necessary firm texture, be sure to use all-jiurpose flour. The surfaces will crack as the enkes bake.
