"The heavy financial burden of defense is being met by the. people of Israel. The funds for the humanitarian "needs of the people of Israel' must be provided by free world Jewry. The women of Omaha must once again demonstrate their willingness to do their part.

Sharp Protests Follow A quittdl of Nazi Judge BERLIN (JTA)—A West Berlin court's acquittal of a former Nazi j u d g e who pronounced death sentences on 250 political prisoners in 1943 and 1944 has aroused a storm of protest in this city. " : .. ; The ex-judge,.. Hans-Joachim Rehse, who presided over one of Hitler's notorious Peoples Courts during World War II, was freed by Judge Ernest, Jurgen Oske on grounds that he was only carrying out the laws of the time. Heinz Galinski, chairman of the West Berlin Jewish Community, described the judgment as the "most atrocious" to have been delivered by a G e r m a n court since 1945. Mayor Karl
Schuetz of West Berlin said he hoped that an appeal against the . verdict would be allowed and that another court would administer justice. - Bert Even, chairman of the . Bundestag (Lower House) interior committee, said the decision was "infuriating because it lacks any trace of legal spirit." ' Judge Oske based his acquittal decision on an earlier ruling by West Germany's Federal Court that judges could, not be convicted of having deliberately manipulated the . law "if • they, were, blinded by the Nazi ideology and legal philosophy of the time." He said that while the verdicts of the Peoples Courts are inhuman by present standards, in wartime Germany the mainte..nance of security was of highest importance. The v i c t i m s of Judge Rehse's sentences and those of other Nazi judges were convicted of making "defeatist" statements and cracking jokes about Nazi leaders or talking to friends critically about the Nazi regime.

Jerusalem (JTA) — Alt hotels in Israel's principal cities were fully booked for the rush of tourists- arriving in Israel for the Christmas holidays. This included the hotels in East Jerusalem and a number of "third class" hostelries which are usually not frequented by tourists. Eighty planes have been landing daily at Lydda Airport. Permits for tourists wanting to visit Bethlehem were being issued to foreigners who were not even asked their religion. However, residents in occupied Arab areas -wanting to visit Bethlehem had to prove they were Christians before being given permits! ~

Nasser Wins War Against Mim-Skirt
TUNIS (ZINS) — After1 three wars and three defeats Egypt finally succeeded in celebrating her first victory: President Abdel Gamal Nasser declared war against the mini skirt which swept over E g y p t like the plague. It reached the climax when thousands of Egyptian males gathered in the streets "to watch the brazen girls go by." To combat this disease, the Ministry for Internal Affairs decreed that the police arrest all knee-exhibiting females, unless they would solemnly swear to lower their skirts in accordance with the laws of Allah and the Koran. After a five-day battle, the Minister for Internal Affairs succeeded in defeating the "enemy" and the mini skirt vanished forever from the longing gaze of the Egyptian males. In the aftermath of this war, .a. joke isjnaking theTOBnd*^].J_ Tjrwhy is Nasser, a more successful strategist than Dayan? A: Because Nasser defeated: the mini skirted Egyptian girls in five days.

All Aliens Required To Report Addresses
Jerusalem (JTA)—TTie Cabinet has approved draft legislation that would enable partners in a mixed marriage to-obtain a divorce from a civil court if a religious court refuses to exercise jurisdiction in' the case. Under present Israeli law, divorce, like marriage, comes under the jurisdiction of religious courts. Some mixed couples have foundjt impossible to obtain a divorce Beeauserthe~re^ ligious courts concerned ruled themselves incompetent to deal with the matter. 'The legislation would empower the President of the Supreme Court to determine the specific religious or district court' having jurisdiction in each individual case. The Attorney-General would be asked to inquire if a religious court agrees to litigate. A Cabinet majority reject-1' ed a proposal from Religious bloc ministers to exclude Israeli Jews from the terms of the bill.

The collection of Geniza fragments in the Leningrad State Library occupies an eminent position in the scholarly world. I decided to seek entrance Into this Sanctum Sanctorum of Soviet scholarship, although I knew that except for privileged scholars, the Geniza material has been inaccessible to foreigners.

Israel's First Heart Trans By Ellahu Salpetcr 'Whatever the final outcome of the first heart transplant in Israel, in a strict surgical sense, the operation on Yitzhak Sullam was a success. The transplanted heart has functioned very satisfactory and there have" been no signs" of ~ rejection by the patient's protective bodily mechanisms. - Professor Morris Levi who did the transplant and the management of the Beilinson Hospital- where the operation took. place, tried to keep the whole matter secret. But—as Dr. Levi later recalled with surprise, when he left the operating theater there was already a phone call waiting for him from a newspaperman who wanted to know how the transplant patient was doing. '> Naively, the doctors apparently believed that should the operation fail, and if the hospital did not disclose it to the press, the whole matter could be kept secret: What the doctors feared was that a publicized failure
consider such an operation necessary for public health or research.) Soon attention in the country shifted from the m e d i c a l achievement to the argument as to whether the hospitafshould or should not disclose the identity of the donor and whether such operations should or should not be made contingent on the agreement of the relatives of the deceased donor. Family Consent Tho doctors apparently felt that if agreement of the relatives would be such a moral condition, very few if any transplants could be carried out since practice shows that few families agree to it in the first shock of the death of their beloved. It is true that doctors carryIng out cornea and kidney trasnplants say that in the majority of cases bereaved families do agree to the donation.

I was never tempted to smoke, not because I was afraid that it would anger my parents, but ' because or something that happened to me. I once thought I would like to become a nurse, eo two years ago I worked as a Junidr Nurses Aide at our local hospital. The first week I was assigned • to" r~fl66F where the accident victims were. I met one very pleasant lady there. We talked quite often, but she never said what was wrong with her, and - - Fdidn't ask. But I wondered about it. She seemed perfectly healthy to me. Because I was assigned to many different floors in the hospital,' I didn't see her again until the end of the summer.. Second Meeting One day my duty was on tho fourth floor. I had been warned by my fellow aides that this floor was the most depressing ' of all. The patients on four were terminal cases. I walked into one of the rooms, and was very surprised to see the pleasant lady I had talked with at the beginning of the summer.. How Ehfriookl-d really~£hocked me;
readiness a n d understanding would have been displayed by the relatives had they been asked in advance and in the moment of .their first shock; yet it is felt that the favorable attitude shown by the (assumed) donors' families should be utilized to create a suitable public atmosphere here for future heart transplants. It is felt that every effort should be made to instill the idea that agreeing to transplants is something the donor families should be very proud of and therefore should respond favorably when another human life is at stake. But, just to be on the safe side, nobody here (except the ultra-Orthodox) suggests t h a t saving another person's life should be made dependent on the goodwill, enlightenment and kindness of a whole group of stangers who happen to be relatives of a prospective donor.

ANSWER: Some authorities claim that the soul upon departing from the body beholds the Divine Presence. Washing the b o d y is a means of bringing purity to the soul which is about to meet Us Maker. .Others explain that washing or immersing in water is like going through a process of re-creation or re-birth. The world first was created in a condition of water as the Bible relates in the Book of Genesis. Man comes into this world encased in water. Tha Kabbalists regard death as another birth and, thus, the body is washed with water before burial. Death is like a return to nature. Hie Almighty first brought about the existence of nature in tha midst of water, and so the body which "goes back to nature" is purified by the use of water before it goes back to its original natural source.
