She said,that la Holland there are only two congregations — the orthodox, like our orthodox, and the liberal, in existence for only the past fifty years, which is a k i n to our conservative. There are no Reform Jews. Yvonne herself is of the liberal congregation, and felt that the reform p r o b a b l y would not come to Holland as her congregation is already seen as very liberal in the eyes of the orthodox congregation. .

Your Judaism Is Showing By RABBI ALVAN D. RUBIN Temple Israel, St Louis

Your generation is more deeply Jewish than any generation In history. This statement may shock some people because the facts to the contrary arc quite evident You don't know Hebrew, you hardly ever go to Religious Services, your knowledge of Jewish sources is meager, you can't write a sentence about Isaiah or Jere* mfah, you hardly ever read <de Bible—let alone know what the Tal* mud is all about, you are anti-ritual, and your Jewish I. Q. generally Is low; but you are still more deeply Jewish than any generation In history. Behind the facade and the language of your generation, which includes such words and thoughts as: pot, long hair, beads, beards, •bells, blossoms, flowers, petunias, cool it, LSD, trips, hashish trail, drop-out, bangle shops, there is the undeniable fact that your generation is the most deeply concerned generation of youth in Jewish history. Your concerns and ideals.are messianic in scope and interest. •,.:.:,., ,. i -,,, In spite of the terrible world which we have given you, you still fulfill the thought of a famous Jew, Max Nordau, "To be young is to hope; to be young is to Jove simply and naturally; to be young is to rejoice in one's own health and strength, and in that of all human beings, and of the birds in the air and the beetles in the grass. Yon have faith that you con overcome all. the problems of our genera* tion by your concern for your fellow-man," " You dare dream in the Words' of a famous Reform Rabbi,. David Philipson, that "all things are possible." Religion to you la not form or ritual, but yearning's and- aspirations, and its ideals must be applied. Even the great Judah Ha-Nasi said, "Action takes : precedence over study." " • You are deeply Jewish without realizing it, and you are fulfilling the true goals of Judaism in. your efforts to help bring about a better world. ^ •-., . In this regard, you are moredeeply Jewish than any'generation In Jewish history, but there is a danger which is exemplified in tho story of Lawrence of Arabia who once brought five Bedouians to the Waldorf-Astoria Upon leaving, he noticed a suspicious bulkinesa in their luggage. To his amazement, he found that they had taken the faucets from the hotel room. "We'll be home soon where tha water is scarce. Then, when we are parched and thirsty, we'll turn on the faucets and we will get all the water we need," one said, Lawrence laughed and said, "The faucets are no good unless they are attached to pipes, and pipes are worthless .Unless they are con* nected to a reservoir." Our deeds will be of no avail If the reservoir of our faith is ab* sent While action speaks louder than words, action will often ba frustrating and exasperating; and your actions and zeal will have to be tempered by the wisdom of our faith. The wisdom may be found In the intensive study of our faith and in its observance. The story is told of a young man who became apprentice to a • blacksmith. The blacksmith taught him how to hold the tongs, how to lift the sledge, how to smite the anvil, and how to blow the fira with the bellows. Finished with his apprenticeship, the young man went out to work; but as he was about to work, he remembered that he did not know how to light the spark.

ON THE ALERT: Taxi drivers in Israel are especially on the lookout for Arab terrorists. They have been front line fighters in Israel's war and can still be called up a a moment's notice. They are well trained militarily and have a s e n s e "of "smelling out" suspicious characters. They drive in their cabs not only in cities but also from one city to another, and you can find them on all r o a d s throughout the country. Their trained eyes can usually detect suspicious elements whether on public places or on the roads. Civilian car owners are similarly keeping an eye on suspicious cars. When they notice that a car is not p r o p e r l y parked, they immediately telephone the police. A car that is not properly parked can lead to Arab terrorists who don't know the parking regulations and who might have come to the city carrying explosives. Arabs in Israel—and there is no use closing eyes to their growing hostility — sense1 the suspicion which they arouse. That so*few xua 1 IB u e w uof l themuare ' is wwhy ' "" """" r o

By JESS SILVER (Co-author of /"Encyclopedia of Jews In Sports") After years of trying, Ray Roseman has become the first Jewish runner to better four minutes in the mile. The 30year-old Englishman accomplished his life-long ambition at Motspur Park track on July 23. He finished in fourth place as the winner clocked 3:58.0. Roseman may be the oldest mller to run under four mln. utcs for the first time. • A runner since age 13, Roseman was a silver medalist in the 5,000-meters at the 1957 Maccabiah Games In Israel. He ran the mile in 4:15.3 in 1958; 4:08.2 in 1959 and 4:00.2 in 1960. Roseman collected a silver medal in the 1,500-meters, and a bronze in the 5,000meters at the 1961 Maccabiah. Lou. Stieglitz of the United States won both events in record time. After he missed most .of the 1S62 season with a leg injury, Roseman returned with a 4:01.6 in 1963 and represented Great Britain in dual meets with' the United States and West Germany. He placed third in the 1,500-meters on both occasions. In 1964 he was 4:02:1 and 4:00.2 the following year when he became a Maccabiah gold medalist for the first time. Roseman won the 1,500 meters in a record 3:51.2 at Ramat Gati Stadium. He ran 4:02.2 and Won his first major English title, the Southern Counties miles championship, in 1906. After he clocked 4:02.3 in 1967 and 4:00.7 last year, it appeared that age would catch up with Roseman and he never would go under four minutes. Two weeks after his sub-fourmlnute-mile effort Roseman was a double winner at the Eight World M a c c a b i a h Games. He retained his 1,500"meter championship with' a record '3:46.9 clocking and also captured the 5,000-meters for the first time. biah , haired Israeli Yuval zer.WMnitzer may'ftethc next Jewish runner to better four
