About This Issue: The Jewish Woman ' This fa the year of the Jewish woman. Never before has her Image reached, the height and the depth as it has In the year Just past. From the height of a Golda Meir leading the State of Israel, to the rock bottom image created by Philip Roth, the Jewish woman has been very much in the public eye this year.

By EUAHU SALPETER • Jerusalem —The -'most-remarkable phenomenon of the year that has just passed in Israel is the extent to ,which this country managed to l combine two seemingly contraj dictory things: Keen awareness of the "small war" conducted -along the cease-fire lines by three of her four Arab neighbors, and normal conduct of everyday life even in the vicinity of those lines. Young reservists sitting in the bunkers along the Suez Canal use the lulls between Egyptian artillery barrages to cram , for exams at the university. Civil defense wardens watch eagle-eyed as people enter theaters and cinemas and occasionally ask that suspect handbags or briefcases be opened for a quick inspection. Yet, ' movie houses and theaters are full and, what is more important, - the inspection does not make anybody feel any special danger or enjoy the show less.

I had believed profoundly that upon one solitary deed of mine, one solitary prayer, depended the salvation of the world. This day I had ceased to plead. I was no longer capable of lamentation. On the contrary, I felt very strong. I was the accuser, God tht accused. My eyes were open and I was alone—terribly alone in a world without God and without man. Without love or mercy. I had ceased to be anything but ashes, yet I felt myself to be stronger than the Almighty, to whom my life had been tied for so long. I stood amid that praying congregation observing it like a stranger. The service ended with the Kaddisli. Everyone recited the Kaddish over his parents, over his children, over his brothers, and oven himself. We stayed for a long time at the assembly place. No one dared to drag himself away from this mirage. Then it was time to go to bed and slowly the prisoners made their way over to their block.,. I heard people wishing one another a Happy New Year!

QUESTION: Why is the Jewish New Year festival of Itosh Hashanah scheduled in the fall of the year, when the Bible counts the months from the spring month of Nisan (the month of the Passover)? ANSWER: Basically, the Jewish tradition concentrates on two historic occasions. One is the creation of the world, the other is the Exodus from Egypt. The creation of the world, according to one of the rabbinic authorities, took place in the fall. The Exodus in Egypt, as we know from our observances of the Passover, took place in the • spring.-Therefore, both of these times of the year are marked with special holidays since they are such important focal points in the Jewish tradition. The New Year Festival which contains a universal element (since it prays for the peace and welfare of the entire world) is said by some of the commentators to take place in the fall since the world was then created and this world of ours is a world for all mankind. The Exodus in the spring was an event especially significant to the Jewish people since its very existence as a people started with this event. *

Where Will It All End? By MOSIIE DAYAN The other day I participated in a convention discussion. My -Job was~to answer questions on the security situation. Many questions were posed—some of a technical, military nature and others on security policy. Toe most difficult question of all, however, (he most military question, the most Jewish one was: "Mr. Defense Minister, "Vos vet zeln der sot (where is it all going to end?)" I do not have to explain how this is a military question. That this topic is of a global-political nature is attested by the fact that the four big powers are preoccupied with it. Jewish Question But that this question is above all a Jewish question— this is shown by' our history. The qu&tion "What will be?" has always been on our .people's lips. This question came into being with the first jew, Abraham. He had to inherit no fewer than ten nations (Genesis 15:18-21): "The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, and the HitUtcs and the Perizzttes, and the Rephalm, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites." And he was the only Jew in the world.' Then the first Jew, Abram, turned his face Heavenward and asked the Jewish question: What will be? His interlocutor, "the Most High God, possessor of heaven and earth/' said to Abram in the vision: "Fear not, Abram!" (Genesis 15:1). In the next generation, too, in Isaac's time, the Jewish question was not solved. Isaac wandered with his wife Rebecca in Egypt, and then in Potllistia; he had quarrels over water with his neighbors, finally despairing of ever reaching
an arrangement of "agreed and secure borders" and deciding to emigrate from the land. -Then God appeared to-him and said (Genesis 26:2): "Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land of which I shall tell
you." And to Isaac, too, God appeared in the night, and said to him (Genesis 28:24): "I am the God of your father Abrahams fear not-^. Ji This "Fear not" took hold and went on to become our (Continued on Page 43)

Irish Catholic Mother Protests Portnoy's Views on Jewish Mothers By IRENE CORBALLYKUHN Editor's Note: The writer lias been a syndicated columnist for many years. Her daily 'columns have appeared in many daily newspapers serviced by Uie King Features Syndicate. This article appears through the courtesy of The Jewish Week, Washington, D. C , Jewish weekly. My complaint about "Portnoy's Complaint" is two-fold. It is bad enough that this bestselling piece of garbage is being taken seriously as literature. That its author, Philip Roth, should "be acclaimed as a great writer is an insuit to intelligence and taste. Moreover, many critics are employing polysyllabic words to' interpret its "art," and praise it as a masterpiece of humor. Since when has constipation been considered funny? And when did we decide to label as ait explicit and nauseating descriptions of fellatio and cunnilingus? But it is not just the filth I object to, although, page for page, this is the filthiest filth ever bound between covers. The incredibJe obscenity which sets this book apart from all the other pieces of putrid pornography befouling our permissive culture today may be explained away by psychiatrists as Jewish self-hate; and by cynics, as a deliberate ploy to make money, tons of it. What cannot be explained away Is, the evil fervor which impels, this Jew to denigrate Jewish women—and Jewish mothers, in particular. As a matter of fact, he denigrates all women by his vicious and cowardly buck-passing of his "hero's" sexual obsession and perversions to his mother. An Irish-Catholic View This is not an indignant Jewish mother speaking. I am a third generation American of Irish Catholic ancestry going back hundreds of years in an unbroken stretch on both sides of the line. And I say proudly, with love and respect, (hat some of my best friends are Jews. In my "childhood, growing up in Greenwich Village, I knew several Jewish mothers." They came in all shapes and sizes but they had one thing in common: warm generous hearts, enveloping love for all children, not just their own.

Of, course there were human frailities; and while I was shielded from such knowledge, there must have been "fallen women" and irresponsible men sprinkled through our community. There were probably homosexuals around, too, but they must have behaved,with discretion and restraint and kept their perversions to themselves. The public library was the neighborhood clubhouse. Many immigrants, after a hard day's work, went there to borrow books to read slowly and carefully and educate themselves. The square adult Americans of my adolescence knew, good books were passports to learning, adventure, inspiration and entertainment. In the quiet contemplation and thoughtful study of works which had stood the test of time they frequently learned as much as they could in four years of college.

THE CHILDREN OF the mountain laugh and sine like children everywhere—except for the shadow of war which is part of their way of life.
Children of the Mountain ' ;
By Mara Koch The children are still asleep at five o'clock in the morning when the border patrol halftrack begins its slow crawl along, the roads surrounding Kibbutz Menara's fields. Three young soldiers take nearly two hours to climb from the valley to the top of (he mountain as they search for mines that "El .Fatah" terrorists may have planted during the night. The danger is very real and the children sense it. Last October two kibbutzniks w e r e driving their tractor in the Vineyard directly adjacent to the Lebanese border when they L_Wt a mine. Two young men dead at the age of 24. Both born in Menara, married in Menara, fathered the beginning of the second generation in Menara and—finally—dead in Menara. War is very real to the children of the mountain—for they have mothers without husbands and they grow up wilbont fatter*. For two generations now, they have been b o r n and raised on the hostile border and even the youngest ones know
what It means when a mine goes off or artillery shells begin to explode.
life has always been hard up in the Naftali Mountains which form Israel's northernmost border with Lebanon. The terrain is too rocky and uneven for farming and, therefore, the fields are located in the Hulch Valley below and the members travel down each day to tend their crops. ' When the first group of pioneers settled in Menara in the winter of 1943, they lived in caves and had no water. In order to get water they had to walk or ride. mules to Kfar tiiladi, the oldest kibbutz in the northern Huleh V a l l e y and where the first children born to Menara lived until there was adequate shelter built in their kibbutz.

father of the first child of the second generation born in Menara—was killed in the battle of Jerusalem/ • Five sons of Menara—all between the ages of 20 and 24— have been killed since March 1967. In memory of each one, the kibbutz prints a little book filled with poignant letters and poems, pictures and s t o r i e s written by the dead boy's family and friends. Opening the booklet, the first thing one sees is a photograph of the deceased with the dates of his birth and death underneath. It is startling to read:,' 1947-1967. . It is overwhelming to think that this child who was carried down the mountain to safety in the War of Independence fs now dead—killed by the sons'of the same people who tried to kill bis father. It seems like a never-ending cycle.

A 'Cool Summer* Look at Negro-Jew Relationships By RABBI BERNARIj) WEINBERG After a winter of unprecedented h o s t i l i t i e s between Macks anrt-JfWs 'n iho r'liy oL ; ...New.York, we close the Jewish year in an atmosphere of calm and surcease. To be sure, it is not yet the kind of tranquility that results from a new mutual .respect and.understanding be• tween the two ethnic groups, but rather it is a period of retrenchment and re-examination of [what really happened. Nobody is really sure of what were the real elements that provoked such polarization of ..... two erstwhile friends. Was it a latent animosity that needed only the slightest superficial stimulus to erupt into such intense friction, or was it simply a surface confrontation of two groups that do not really understand their reciprocal needs and aspirations? With the benefit of hindsight we could certainly reflect on the many reactions on b o t h sides that m i g h t have been avoided. But, we now have a _fflMZset_j|_j«aJitles_Ui_at we must cope with rather than Indulge in the futile effort of how things might have been. Both blacks and Jews have thus far been shocked by what has transpired between them. The black c o m m u n i t y was shocked by its own extremism and by how far in the direction -^separatismJhey hadjnoyeg\ They were surprised by the intensity of the anti-Semitic remarks that were b e i n g expressed by the extreme miliJants within their camp. : In retrospect, it seems that ..Black anti-Semitism developed -^in apeculior and circular manner.

The notices emphasized that those who did not appear at the given time and place for "resettlement" w o u 1 d be shot when discovered later. Tens of thousands of Jews trekked with their b u n d l e s from all parts of the city and appeared early in the morning, many of them carrying children in their arms. The streets around the gathering place were surrounded by the Nazi murder commandos who specialized in mass killing of Jews'. The arriving Jews were marched in groups, past the Jewish cemetery at the outer city limits, to Uie Babi Yar site; they were ordered to leave their bundles and were later driven naked into the ravine. During the two days of the terror, the shooting of the victims went on from dawn till dark. The Nazis who did the shooting cared nothing whether some of their victims were still alive in the ravine. One group after the other was driven into the ravine while some of the people who were shot s t i l l showed some signs of life. They were directed to lay down on top of the bodies that lay before them and were machinegunned in cold blood: The murder rate of~lh~c twoday massacre exceeded even that of the mass killing of Jews in the gas ovens of the most notorious Nazi death camps of Auschwitz and Treblinka in Poland. Five months after the executions, the March thaw released gases from thousands of bodies in the ravine with explosions which threw up columns of the earth covering the victims.. Memorial In the days between R o s h Hashanah and Yom Kippur today,* thousands of Jews in Kiev stream to Babi Yar to lay flowers in memory of their fathers, mothers, wives and children who were so brutally killed. The majority of the group visitors are men. They were in the Red Army ranks of the war front fighting the German invaders when Kiev was occupied by the Hitlerites. They returned home after the liberation of Kiev but found none of "We" "members' of their families alive. They observe the "anniversary" of the massacre by coming to Babi Yar from all parts of the city. Babi Yar is also visited by Jews from foreign countries who come to Kiev as tourists. However, the local Intoiirlst of-fice discourages foreigners from visiting Babi Yar. Soviet authorities are not eager to present the massacre as a Jewish tragedy. To get to Babi Yar without the aid of Intoiinst isnot an easy matter. Not all private taxis know the road. In the H o t e l Dnipro—the finest hotel in the city, which was built after-the, liberationof Kiev—I consulted the information desk of Intourist, which Is supposed to help foreign visitors about how to get to Babi Yar. The girl in charge of the desk was evasive. When I insisted on getting the information, she said she herself did notoknow how to get to Babi Yarjnd would have to inquire from others in the office. She suggested that I come back In about one hour. "You mean to say that you, a resident of Kiev, don't know where Babi Yar is located?" I was astonished. The girl was embarrassed. She saw I didn't believe her. "A lot of people in Kiev do not know where Babi Yar is," she replied. „<; i?'But you certainly know that 'one of your great poetsUYevgenl Yevtushenko, has] lmor» talized the place with the famous epic poem "Babi'Yar"? She knew about Yevtushen-
ko's poem. And so do all the young people in JKiev^Despile the fact that Yevtushenko was criticized by Soviet authorities for writing this poem honoring the memory of the Jews who p e r i s h e d . Yevtushenko, a Ukranian writer in the Russian language, is the most popular Soviet poet among the student youth. His poem is considered a memorial to the Jewish victims of Babi Yar. After it was published, Intourist could no longer tell foreign visitors that nobody knew anything about Babi Yar. The Intourist girl repeated her request that I return in about an hour if I wanted to get information about how to get to Babi Yar, and it became
obvlous to me that she was obligaled-lo report my_ request to some higher officers. I told her that I would be back in about an hour, but at this point something q u i t e unexpected happened. A y o u n g man approached me and said, in very fluent English, "You want to go to Babi. Yar? Come, I'll take you. I know where the place is. You will not have to pay me anything. All you will have to pay is the fare to the taxi driver/' I was taken aback by this sudden offer. "Are you an Intourist guide?" "No," he replied smilingly. "I am a university student.

embarrassment would be extreme and NPD's prestige would only be enhanced with the voters. In.the end, Chancellor Kurt George Kiesinger and a majority of his coalition cabinet announced that they would fight the NPD leadership. The NPD claimed that the government decision proved it had no evidence and that llerr Benda had deceived the public when he said it-had. As a result, the government has bqen embarrassed and the ultra right-wing party has been strengthened immeasureably. It had just won an important victory in the Rheinland-Pflaz county elections gaining seats in all ten municipal councils where it put up candidates. Its margin was well over the five percent of the vote needed and in one town the NPD polled 15 percent of the vote. Political experts say there is little doubt that the NPD will win more than five percent of the national vote in September to qualify it for seats in the Bundestag. And once in the German Parliament, fighting it politically as Chancellor Kiesinger has pledged, will be more difficult than ever. The NPD is not exactly a duplicate of Hitler's party but the similarities are chilling as its swift rise from obscurity to potential political power. It espouses ultra-conservative, intensly nationalistic causes,-it is vehemently against the punishment of Nazi war criminals and has gone so far as to demand the return of territories once seized by the Nazis. So far, the NPD has been careful to steer clear of overt antl-Semitlsm. But party spokesmen have made antiJewish remarks at internal meetings and in speeches .in the more remote provinces. Public opinion-in West Germany has been pro-Israel especially since the June, 1967 Six-Day. War. But Bonn's relations with Israel on a diplomatic level have cooled noticeably this past year though-they arc still cordial. Here again, political expediency has established the tone. The recognition of East Germany by Egypt, Syria Iraq and other Arab countries was a severe blow to Bonn's foreign policy. As a consequence, West German diplomats are relucstilp toward Israel for fear of pro.voking the Arabs further. East Germany, they note, won Arab confidence by being the most violently anti-Israel regime in the entire Communist bloc. West Germany lost it by recognizing Israel in 1965. Nevertheless, there are In-. _cr£asing_xultural_contacts—be*tween West Germany and Jerusalem, Israeli and West German youth groups have exchanged visits. Perhaps all is not lost.

The White Hous* Washington In this season of the Jewish High Holy Days, my warmest New Year's wishes are extended to all my felloW Americans of the Jewish Faith. I share your hope th|t the eve of September 12, which ushers in a New Yeay on your , calendar, may mark the beginning of an era which will bring new blessings of peace and prosperity for all mankind. Inspired by this year's triumphant demonstration of man's capacity to master the technology and intellectual challenge of our age, may all men of goodwill join their efforts toward the achievement of well-being here on earth. Out of the glory we have witnessed and before which we stand in awe, may man's terrestrial 4s well as his celestial life be fortified and enriched. The holy season you celebrate particularly reminds us of the urgent need for self-examination and for rec edication to the imperatives of justice and mercy. It stin the conscience of men throughout the world to right th; wrongs and alleviate the suffering that mar the progress we have realized. And it brings us all together in'the prayer that the words of the prophet Isaiah may gain fulfillment in our lifetime, and that nation shall not lift up sword against nation. The American Jewish community has throughout the history of our nation been in the forefront of the search for true equality, dignity and decency for all. But'at this time, we are especially reminded of the enduriifg contributions you have made to the unrelenting search for a real brotherhood of man under the Fatherhool of God. Our thoughts are with you as you begin these solemn days of worship, and our hearts are filled with gladness as we extend to each of you the traditional Hebrew greeting, "Shanah Tovah:" A Happy New Year.

Reflecting on The Year in Books T ttlbalow In reflecting, on the. year's literary achievements, we cannot help noticing that many of the most memorable volumes have been produced by veteran authors. Of course, many of the books may not survive past the season. No doubt, some non-fiction works will outlive many novels. Elie Wiesel's Legends of Our Time, which incorporates the sensitive writer's reaction to the Holocaust, is far superior to life's Diary, a fictional evocation by Richard M. Elman of the brief life of a young girl who is victimized by the Germans. The Old East Side, an anthology compiled by Milton Hindus, tells us more of Jewish life in old New York than a handful of novels on this now almost outworn theme. Still, this last year brought some remarkable works of fiction by old hands at the art, even if the old has been re-discovered as new. I have in mind the tales, newly-found, of Isaac

Babel l o v e d , and feared, Uie Russians of his own time and he wrote of them from the viewpoint of a Jew. In You Must Know Everything Stories 1915-1937, his daughter Nathalie has performed a service by presenting us with oldnew stories by her father. Other collections of Jewish tales cannot be overlooked either. Bernard Malamud's Pictures of Fldelman is a grouping of six stories about one of Malamud's favorite characters: a neurotic, artistic, alienated Jew who seeks his own identify as a man. Some are concerned with sex, some with art. All are worth our attention. Similarly, I s a a c BasheviS Singer's The Seance and Other Stories demonstrates anew that this Yiddish, writer does not limit himself to old-world sbtetl tales. Here, he also shifts to

the New World, to-America, and brings his. vast imaginative gifts to bear on his people in the United States and Canada. In the field of the short story, we also commend Dan Jacobson's Through the Wilderness and Other Stories. Mr. Jacob?, son lives in England and writes of his native Africa and other areas of the world whicli he knows. He also is a sharp observer of human behavior and in this collection he offers us some vivid tales about Jews in South Africa. Novels Two well-known AmericanJewish authors, who constantly produce works of creative fiction that are discussed and read, are Jerome Weidman and Philip Roth. Both have made available a new novel within this past season. Roth's book, of course, hard. ly needs an introduction. Portnoy's Complaint has been The novel of the year, a milliondollar property and a book that has been called pornographic, anti-Jewish and every other evil label you can think of. .Its hero is a Jew who hates his mother, despises his father, has no love for his many mistresses and is a most miserable human being. It has its' humor—and some relevance to the American Jew. Weidman's novel, The Center of the Action is most readable, fast-moving and full of technical information about the publishing business. Myron S. Kaufmann's Thy Daughters' Nakedness seems to have been passed over by readers and sharply criticized by reviewers. It Is inexcuseably long and its dialogue is incredibly inept. Yet somehow, Mr. Kaufmann does capture the middle-class values'of his heroine and in its awkwardness, this novel manages to convey the values of an entire segment of our society. A handful of novels about Israel also appeared in this time' (Continued on Page 32)

ever set forth a specific list of duties. I suppose I could settle for the expected amount of entertaining: teas, luncheons,' dinners, and receptions for students, faculties, and o t h e r guests. Because Joe's work has become so much a part of our life, though, we entertain very often and try to have groups of from 10 to 35 people in our home for informal dinners. This means we receive many invitations lrom all areas of the campus. It also means we have opportunity tor more frequent contact and hopefully for better understanding in campus working relations. It's by no means a hardship for me to have so much social life. Our social contacts—both university students and faculty and an array of campus visitors—are interesting and stimulating. Feels Fortunate Q: Have there been many changes in your home life because of your husband's position, or d o e s the university presidency allow for "life at' home as usual?". A: The problem of f a m i l y schedules and arrangements inevitably resulted from our total immersion in university life. These problems are very real in family situations involving' very young children. We are fortunate in that the degree of time -commitment on my part seems to have grown m o s t rapidly in very recent years, when our boys had already become self-sufficient Q; How would you explain the 'fcalm" on the University of Nebraska campus as compared to the rioting 'on other campuses? Is there any fear of student activism hitting the the University of Nebraska campus in the near future? A: This is a tough question, and i think that even professional educators would be reluctant to answer i t Joe has said many times—and I agree w i t h turn completely—that there is absolutely no basis for smugness or complacency on this subject. Campus attivism, _ regardless of the form that it Takes; isT the result SflBthohcampus and off-campus concerns of students and other young adults. When and how students will show their concerns on. such issues as the Viet Nam war, problems in our cities, or radical inequities. rarely can be .controlled or strongly influenced by univers i t y administrators. ^~ On the other hand, I know that Joe and his colleagues work very bard to maintain meaningful contact and communication with students. During the past couple of years, ^students, faculty, and administrators have had remarkable successin working together too~ plan and implement '"orderly change" on the campus. A favorite, but very important, expression on our Lincoln Campuses is "equitable participation." I should add that student participation is not a new idea at our university. There has been for a good many years genuine opportunity for students to be heard and for student participation.' " It should be added, too, that the "student mix" on our campuses is very much- different than,on some of the large-university campuses on the East and West coasts. All in all, even though "issues" continue to arise on the campus, our traditions, the character of our student body, and a lot of patient, hard work and understanding . Jiave been the ingredients that have m a n a g e d to forestall physical disruption. it i •

The May's By Mrs. Maurice (Iibby) Sachg I can remember almost to : the minute in April 1963, a lovely spring day, when I put aside - forever, mah jongg, gin (rum- my that Is) and Samba. The day it happened I was a substitute man jongg player with "the group." Not the Mary McCarthy type group, but the kind that countless women are in: volved hi,, meeting every week or so to play cards, etc. Why did I decide on this particular April day to leave the group and give up the afternoons of lively, newsy conversation . . . the challenge of trying to win money . . . well. . . The previous evening I had auditioned for a role in a play at the Omaha Playhouse and I was bursting with excitement. I thought I would explode if the girls didn't stop and listen > to me. I wanted them to know that I got the part. Good News " F i n a l l y , they stopped long enough to hear my news. Big deaL They thought it was nice, but not nearly as important as the game. One was in a hurry to play because she had to quit at 3:30; another continued her complaints about losing again. After the game, I went home, put my mah jongg set in the closet to gather dust, and put samba out of my mind to be forgotten. I knew then that all life's pleasures c o u l d n !t be found at a card table. ; r Elaine Jabenis was responsible for getting me involved in the Omaha Playhouse, when she urged me to try-out for a . Sholem Aleichem play she was directing. Although I never had any formal training in drama or theater, and one might say I came into theater by the back door, I found the Playhouse offered opportunities for me to i attend classes, not only in actIng, but in other phases of theater as well. Something for Everyone If one is interested, there is something for everyone in the-
By Mrs. Charles (sis) Garctz Seven year old Estelle sat across the table from me. She had been sent to me for individual tutoring because as a new member of her first grade class, she was shy, didn't know her numbers or colors and was very l e t h a r g i c . As we sat across the table from e a c h other that first day, I noted that her raggedy dress was held together with big safety pins. Working with Henrietta Alston, Community Aide at Howard Kennedy School, I discovered the following a b o o t Estelle: She was one of seven children deserted by her mother In Alabama. A relative In Omaha, on ADC herself, took the children, although she received no welfare payments for them as they were not residents. Since she had several children of her own, there was not cnongh money for food to go a r o u n d . A typical day's menu consisted of no breakfast, . bread and molasses for lunch and rice for dinner. No wonder Estelle was lethargic! I called the caseworker and she conformed that the children were not eligible for welfare a l l o t ments. Eventually, arrangements were made for them to receive food stamps. I began to k e e p oatmeal cookies on hand for our tutoring sessions, and Estelle and I worked at developing her language skills. As she ate, her eyes began to sparkle and she showed interest in learning. I
Mrs. Charles Garctz showed her various fabrics one day, including a piece of soft cashmere wool. I said, "Estelle, this is wool. Where does it come from?" She held it, felt it, smeUcdit, ^nd finally asked sincerely,. "From a wolf?" By age 7, most children know where wool c o m e s from. Estelle was not mentally retarded, but one of the vast group of "disadvantaged children" so many statistics are written about. I looked at Estelle as a child —not a statistic and wondered, "How could this h a p p e n in America?" I also thought of the long chain of events that brought me, a typical Jewish wife and mother, into contact with this little girl.
We had been in Omaha for only three days, back In 1955, when Merv Lemmerman, then director of Temple Israel's Religious School, called to ask mo to teach in the school. I was hew in town and jumped at the chance to be involved with the Jewish community. That was the beginning of a ten year association that enabled me to learn more about Jewish history and its ethical base than any other previous experience. Indeed I learned more than 1 taught the children. My experience teaching at Temple Israel led me to an interest hi learning more about techniques of teaching. My involvement with the ethical basis of Judaism led me to an expanded interest in social justice. As a student at the'University of Minnesota, a World War II speech at the HUlel House by Maurice Samuel had fostered my commitment to Jewish affairs. In Omaha, a call from Alyce W i l s o n of tho Woodson Center, asking me to serve on the Center's board of directors started me In a new direction. Until the tune I served on the Woodson Center board I had some intellectual knowledge of the plight of America's b l a c k citizens, but I didn't really feel it, deep down. As I was exposed to p e o p l e like Alyce, Betty Plttman, J. C. Harris and many others, it hit (Continued on Page 33)

The only job available was in the department of ophthalmology,, doing eye pathology and eye research in celloldin, a medium in which I had had no experience whatsoever.

likes to read about Jewish life. The holidays, kosher and nonkosher foods, Jewish f a m i l y life, Israel—we discuss these and many other topics in a warm, humorous and relaxed manner—and from this experience we learn about each other. Promise to Father Many years h a v e passed since my graduation from Central High School, in the depression years, when I talked my dear father into allowing me to go to the University of Nebraska. How well I remember promising him I would "do something" with my education. He lived to see me edit the Jewish Press, and would have been equally as proud if he could have seen me "do something" in my present position. For me, these professional experiences have been my Master's Degree. But there's more to holding a job than having a college education or even the desire to work, For a married woman and mother there must be an understanding husband, a family willing to t a k e "second place," a pleasing, stimulating atmosphere- in which to work, and good health. In all these areas I have been fortunate. For me, it was also important to find time in this busy and hectic schedule to pursue those interests most vital to my life as a Jew: synagogue, and through synagogue, the presidency of my Sisterhood Branch; Hadassah, and through it, Israel. Again I have been fortunate. "Going back to work" at the youthful age of SO has been my fortunate opportunity for personal growth and development. Because of this experience, my life has been enriched. Perhaps, because of it, others have also been enriched.

My youthful confidence turned out to be very vulnerable. And for the next three months of my studies, it was my growing faith in Judaism and God and my husband-to-be that kept sanity in its place. Five months after we were married my mother passed away and I was four months pregnant. It was* my husband's love and Judaism that sustained me through those next trying months until God blessed us with our first son.

New Year Resolutions By Rabbi Isaac Nadoff The High Holy days are not a time for celebration. Rather, they are a time for resolution and dedication to the l o f t y ideals of life and solemn reflection upon man's place and purpose in the universe. T he s tr e s s Is on TESHUVA, a change of direction and pur- < •* pose, a renewal $± of our spiritual ' lives, a striving to a t t a i n our and rising to our full stature. "New Year resolutions" are a popular vogue of the American scene about the first of January. With the advent of the Jewish New Year, we too ought to adopt this practice. Our resolutions d u r i n g this sacred season should be directed t o w a r d those measures v-wnh will insure Jewish survival and further Jewish cre-
ativeness. The High Holy day season will be a meaningful religious experience if our resolutions include the following: I will identify more intimately with my fellow-Jews throughout the world by making my house a Jewish home .with proper celebration of Sabbath, Holidays and other Jewish traditions. •

(Continued from Page 14) people's motto, in the statement: "Fear not, O Jacob My servant." All through the generations the Jewish worry has been a twofold one: concern for the individual Jew, and- concern for the nation as a whole. Concern for the physical fate of the individual Jew, and concern for the spiritual continuity of the Jewish nation: Not one single Jewish encounter in the history of our people, not one single Jewishassembly.not one single session of thought has considered' itself absolved of this twin concern for the lives of Jewish individuals and for the future of Jewry; and. the future of the Jewish People in our time, means the destiny of the Jewish State. The Jewish People are endowed with two "means" that will enable it to endure. One is faith. I don't mean religious faith particularly, but faith as the antithesis of despair: the faith of the Jewish People in the justness of its cause, in its future; faith that safeguards against despondency, impotence, defeatism, and inaction. The second is the "Fear not," the basis and pre-condition of the ability to stand up to the struggle and to overcome, in all times and in all changing conditions.

Why Volunteer? By
Mrs. Gerald (Lois) Bernstien Volunteer. Webster's Dictionary will tell us a volunteer is a person who enters or offers to enter into any service of his own free will. An ex-serviceman will tell you, "Never volunteer —when they ask for a volunteer, take one step back!" But in today's world, volunteer work is going forward. There is so much to be done, and many of the tasks are best p e r f o r m e d by the woman volunteer who is giving her time and efforts voluntarily—of her own free will! Many important fu n c t i o n s would cease to operate without volunteers. Asid<? from the fact that there is n e v e r enough money for paid workers, there are many places where the person-to-person contact does the best job. Project Head-Start For e x a m p l e , in the preschool Project Head-Start program, the professional teacher has her work; but it takes volunteer efforts as well to help these children develop fully. \ Though it may be difficult to believe, incomprehensible indeed to many of you, there are children, many thousands of them who are deprived of much more than the everyday necessities of life we all take for granted. "" Would you believe that many of these children have never had a full sentence spoken to them? Many of these children have never seen a book or held a pencil. Many have never seen a table set for dinner—a dinner prepared by a mother who can take the time to prepare it, serve in to her family and enjoy it with them. Emotional-Growth Would you believe that a simple thing like a woman holding a .child and talking quietly to him can help his emotional growth? She gives the child something of herself and receives much in return.. Although there are at present none of. our women working on Project Headstart, we have quite a group working on -the remedial reading program. Following is a list of names: Mrs. Ramon Somberg, Mrs. Ronald' Budwig, Mrs. Louis Wintroub, Mrs. N. H. Green-
Mrs. Gerald Bernstein berg, Mrs. Maurice Aresty, Mrs. Nathan Novak, Mrs. Arthur Kulakofsky, Mrs. tJGaul Grossman and Mrs. Milton Katelman. Why volunteer? Many times we "volunteer" because it is plain to see no-one else-willr When your son looks up at you and says, "What's so" terrible about being a Den Mother?" what's a mother to do? And so off we go! Volunteer? After the first few steps the water isn't so cold. And each little task we take is important for, if left undone, it affects so many. It Feels Good Why volunteer? Perhaps it sounds square, but I like the way it makes me feel. I helped through the whole Boy Scouts program until my cub became an Eagle. I believe my efforts on P-TA board did some good. Years spent as a member of the"boafd of "the Council of Jewish Women h e l p e d me grow, I know. My greatest satisfaction for the past four or live years has been in the work I have done with the Beth El Synagogue Braille Group. Help BUnd Why volunteer?

braille, the text books the students must have. Many months are spent learning to transcribe braille. Then one must be certified by the Library of Congress, to qualify as a braillist. One English textbook in printed form will make as many as fifteen braille volumes of 50-60 pages each. These are the most current members of the Belli El Braille Group: Mrs. Stanley Kaplan, Mr. and Mrs. Bryan Seymour, Mrs. Harry Schulman, Mrs. Donna Rosales, Mrs. Albert Krasne, Mrs. Leonard Bond, Peter Knolla, Miss H e l e n Bracken, Mrs. Chi Farcer* Mrs. Joy Yunag, Mrs.' Iva Law, Mrs. Robert Ginsburg, Mrs. Gordon Nalhanson, Mrs. Rany Reed, Mrs. Bruce Halloway, Mrs. Justine DeVoe, Mrs. Kay Travicek, Mrs. Gordon Dicky, Mrs. C l a r e n c e Pruess, Mrs. Maurice Sacks, Mrs. Robert Silverman, Mrs. Lena Grossman, Miss Dorothy Rubenstein, Mrs. Morris Brodkey, Mrs. Edmund Planck and Mrs. Sol Graetz. ^ Mrs. Alfred Fox who started as a volunteer in the braille" program is now working for the Board of Education as a co-ordinator of Blind Servipes. I am not a braillist, but 1 help put the books together. Physics and Chemistry texts for the college student—Spelling made easy—Social Studies for the 8th grader — so many thousands of pages. There are braille cookbooks, braille novels and books of poetry. One day I had an order for 200 braille guides for the Joslyn Art Museum. I helped these children "see" the beauties the Joslyn holds. ~" :

raised, restrained t h e m 1 and said, "It Is not in weeping that we should serve God and the Torah. It Is In thanksgiving and joy." The assembled Congregation ceased its weeping. By these simple words the Rabbi had turned their mood from sorrow to happiness, from tears to the joy-of-mitzvah. They rose from, their benches and began, as Hassidim will, to dance about the Synagogue. The dance continued for a full hour. Then in the joy-of-mitzvah the Kol Nidre Service was begun. Neither the dancing nor the tears are for us. But we desperately need the realization of our neglect of Torah and the sense of contrition that should accompany it. And we desperately nccd^thc recognition that Jewish life can afford us much happiness, and the attention to Jewish duty which would bring this happiness to us. Let the year bring both to our community, our Congregations, and indviduals, and to the whole House of Israel.

My Neighbors, the Israelis By MRS. C. M.

Iie3 have a maid 1 or 2 days a week. They all have cars; use the supermarket; are nicely dressed, although casual, and not stylish by our standards. They are very aware and savvy—probably more so than American pampered J e w i s h women of the stolid middle class. . Some Israelis ask us very gingerly why we do not stay. Others ask directly if we are think about moving. There seems genuine interest in having educated, able, westernoriented Jews. If not adults, then perhaps a youngster. Their hope is with the youth. They positively adore their kids, especially the youth serving in the army. There is overall, a fantastic commitment of this desperate people to their land and the purposes of being a nation. This solidarity soft-pedals all kinds of discord. It produces a tolerance in the face of tension and uncertainty that only explodes in arguments over minor traffic procedures or shoving of one's neighbor in a movie. In America we emphasize niceties and graciousness. Sometimes these things are lacking here, but at the moment, seem less important than preserving this land and her people. Living close to the forests of the Judean hills, just below the Israel Museum, covered witli millions of trees planted by people from everywhere; being near the Knesset and a short drive from the Old City. I know I'm where important things are happening daily. I know I'm in jlhe history of this country. And so remote and piteously petty seem the questions of open or closed country club memberships; ordinances for housing; the yearly Christmas in the schools issues; and yes, even the Vietnamese War. In Israel the Issues are very clear among a clear-eyed, dynamic people. __ It's exciting being a part of it. Fritz Haber, the German chemist (18G8-1934) was exiled by the Nazis in 1933 for refusing to dismiss his Jewish assistants, although the Nazis needed his services. - During eWorld MaEjt,Jha,was. Jiead, of, the German war chemical services and the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for physical chemistry in Berlin. He received the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1918 for his dcvelopment of a fertilizer.

Excommunication from Judaism was used in ancient times against Jews whose activities were considered by the rabbis to be contrary to the good of the community. It involved c o m p l e t e severance from personal, social, business or religious contacts with other Jews* A milder form was later introduced to apply for 30 days. Excommunication was a frequent weapon during the Middle Ages but has now completely disappeared from the religion. (JTA) • • • Although Jews were in Detroit as early as 1769, the first Jewish community was organized there in 1850. (JTA)

Newman was extended for three days and some of the
teenagers were able to enjoy ability can be helped. It isn't their first camping experience, easy as it requires a lot of Hopefully this program will be time, patience, work, and enerpy pg p extended and expanded. gy, but isn't a child's life worth The Th child hild with ith a learning l i dis- iit?
