KJSBRASKA STATE -HISTORICAL. Lincoln* Nebraska
Golda's Welcome at the By TRUDE B. FELDMAN Jewish Press While House Correspondent The last time a Middle East "queen" caused such a stir was when Cleopatra came down the Nile. This was the feeling and the reaction in the nation's capital last week about Prime Minister Golda Meir's stale visit. Mrs. Meir impressed President Nixon with her fortitude - and dynamism; captured t h i s city's most sophisticated audience—the National Press Club—with her resoluteness and directness, and charmed the Washington and Baltimore Jewish communities with her friendliness and humility. For some brief moments it was almost possible to forgej the tension in the Mideast — so warm and 'heimishe' was the atmosphere sur-jounding her visit. * The 71-year-old Mrs. Meir, mother of two
and~a grandmother to five, was greeted at the South Lawn of the White House by President and Mrs. Nixon with a hearty 'Shalom' and presented with a bouquet of red roses. Three hundred privileged onlookers waved miniature Israeli and American flags as the band played both Hatikvah (Israel's National Anthem) and The Star Spangled Banner. A 19-gun salute was fired simultaneously with the music. Mrs. Meir was accorded full Armed Forces honor. Wearing a beige suit, she looked very regal alongside President Nixon as the two leaders, inspected the Honor Guard. With cordiality in his various r e m a r k s , President Nteon not only displayed warm feelings for the Russian-born, American-bred Golda Meir, but also for the whole nation of Israel which she now leads. Pomp and ceremony concluded, the President escorted Mrs. Meir to his newly-decorated Oval
office where the two conferred privately for almost two hours. The remainder of Mrs. Meir's first day in Washington included a luncheon given by Secretary of State William Rogers, Mr. Rogers told Mrs. Meir that in America, people are wondering when a woman would become President of the USA, adding that he heard in Israel, it's the opposite—they wonder when they'll have a man as Premier! State Dinner That evening, the President and Mrs. Nixon tendered a state dinner at the White House in Golda. Meir's honor—a dinner that will be remembered for a long time. It was a dignified, yet 'frelUcha' affair. Only 129 guests were selected to dine with the President and the Prime Minister. One hundred1 (Continued on Page 2)

Attent ion Lincoln Readers It is the desire of the Lincoln Federation to makeit possible for Jewish people living in Lincoln to receive more information on conditions affecting Jews throughout the world than they are now receiving in the local press. We have, therefore, made arrangements with the Jewish Press in Omaha, to send its weekly issues to each Jewish resident In Lincoln whose name and address we have. It is our hope that the Jewish Press, which now reaches residents of Lincoln, Omaha, Sioux City, Des Moines and other nearby communities, will create a common bond and an outlet for the exchange of ideas, news and events affecting Jewish life in this area, nationally and internationally. . The paper will also print local Lincoln news to be submitted by the various Jewish organization and a local representative. . The Jewish Press comes to you as a service of the Welfare Federation.

Militant Blacks Voice Yom Kippur Demands Washington (JTA) — The Black United Front, a militant Negro organization which is demanding reparations in cash from the religious community, sent representatives to read a policy statement on the steps of Washington's B'nai Israel Synagogue on Yom Kippur Eve calling on the "Jewish church to shake off the shackles of white racism and capitalist exploitation that have strangled its Christian vision." A BUF field chairman, Tony Cox, read a statement calling for a $10 million contribution to the Black Economic Development Corporation from syngogues. Mr, Cox. and 16 other Black activists arrived at the synagogue at 8:05 p.m. when the worshippers had gone home to break their fast after Yom Kippur. The statement was read to the janitor of the synagogue. . In the statement, the BUF urged "the Jewish church on this, your Day of high Atonement, to not only stop sanctioning racism but to make amends for its active role in the capitalistic exploitation and economic gerrymandering of the Black community." If the synagogues refuse, the BUF warned, it could lead to "another Middle East crisis in the District of Columbia or another Vietnam in Washington."

Sontfiland Jews Seen As 'a Dying Breed' Louisville, Ky. (JTA) ~ The Jews'in the South are "a dying breed," a Jewish historian ref»rted this week to the first Jewish-Southern Baptist interfaith dialogue. •Prof. Leonard Dinnorstein of - Fairleigli Dickinson and Columbia Universities said that Jews in the South have always pros- ' . pered but socially they have never been fully accepted and • i n times of crisis "frequently became the butt of prejudices and scorn."

"They are continually looking o v e r . their s h o u l d e r s to -see what their Gentile neighbors are doing, and "are constantly anxious lest some Jews might offend members-of the d o m i n a n t group," he said.

Max Rabin, president of the Synagogue Council,, said affiliates of the a g e n c y adopted unanimously the s t a t ement which assailed efforts to reduce Jewish education to the "primitive and unintelligent level" of training for the ceremony without relationship to commitments through s y n a gogue affiliation. The rabbis and congregational presidents were reported to have been particularly critical of a mailing sent out by the Private Educational Center w h i c h declared that "We are not a synagogue and we do not want to be one . . . we are not here to huild edifices." Mr. Rabin said that Jewish leadership in the suburbs, lay and rabbinical, considered the activity "a purely commercial enterprise — a profit-making venture which seeks to debase Jewish r e l i g i o u s life." He pointed out that the "center" was not affiliated with either of the two major educational systems serving the J e w i s h community of Greater Chicago —the Board of Jewish Education and the Associated Talmud Torahs. The statement warned Jewish p a r e n t s in communities served by the 15 member congregations to be wary of commercial appeals for "Bar Mitzvah f a c t o r i e s which would deny their toys and girls a

Mr. Rabin cited the original prospectus for the Synagogue Council, which was organized in 1S63, which urged "restraint from appealing to the lowest taste and value judgment in the, emphasis on the Bar Mitzvah celebration without emphasis on the mitzvah of Torah learning." The statement also opposed "s h o p p i n g for the cheapest, easiest and quickest religious and educational requirements as a criterion of affiliation" with a synagogue.

All the elements of dash, i n i t i a t i v e and o r iginality which so effectively c h a r a c terize our military campaigns are completely lacking on t h e public relations front. Pushed o n t o Carl Alpcrt the defensive, Israel seems to do little more than issue belated denials or defenses which never q u i t e catch up with florid and imag-
inative a c c u s a t i o n s and charges of the Arabs. Isn't it about time that we stopped being g r a c i o u s and gentlemanly in what is, in effect, a war for our very survival? Let us speak out: The Arabs are not only attacking Israel. They are s p r e a d i n g murder and terrorism and arson to all parts of the world. They are a menace to peace and order everywhere. They are the bearers of a new 20th century-barbarism. • The recent roll call is already terrifying: Los Angeles: An Arab as-' sassin strikes down R o b e r t Kennedy.

The Jewish Quiz Box QUESTION: Why is it that among observant Jews a man. does not wear a Tallis until he is married. ANSWER: A number of reasons are advanced for tliis. Ac« cording to some, the inference for this practice is drawn from, the fact Uiat the Biblical verse which commands the-people of Israel to wear fringes {Deuteronomy 22:12) is followed by a versa which begins by saying "If a man takes a wife" (Deuteronomy 22:13). The fact that these two verses are in such close proximity indicates that the two situations go together, that a .man wears a Tallis (with fringes) after he takes a wife. Some of the kabbalists claim that the condition of marriago puts an aura of light on a man and that the Tallis which- is wrapped around the man indicates that the light is wrapped around him. This occurs only after marriage when a man reaches a certain stage of self-fulfillment as the Bible required of him in giving him his first responsibility of "increasing and multiplying" which is accomplished through marriage. A« a matter of fact, it lias become a tradition for the bride to give tha groom a Tallis as a gift. QUESTION: Why is It necessary to have a Minyau (a toruni of 10 males) present for the wedding ceremony? ANSWER: The Talmud (Ketubolh 7:B) traces tills requirement from the Biblical account of the marriage which took place between Ruth and Bo'az (Ruth 4:2). There, the Bible men* tions that Boaz summoned 10 men. Basically, the requirement of 10 men indicates that marriage is an occasion which Involves the ebjnmunity. ' It was felt necessary to have the community officially in-formed of the fact that a marriage was taking place by requir> ing a Minyan to be present. This was one way of making tho marriage public knowledge so that all would take due notice and govern themselves accordingly, respecting the newly weds as man and wife. It also provided an opportunity for the community to cheer the new couple which is -a basic responsibility of a community towards the new bride mid groom.
