Mr. Riekes explained that the program is an outgrowth of the recognition by Omaha Jewish organizations of a need for a relevant program of adult Jewish education. "Until now," said Mr. Riekes, "our community has done a rather inadequate job in answering, t h i s need, although various Individual efforts have been made.

Sen. Javits Claims Misunderstanding in U.S.-SsrasI Relations

A team headed by Prof. Nahman Avigad, digging in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City, has found what Is considered the earliest depiction of the Mcnorah tbat burned in the Second Temple. Prof. Avigad said It had been incised In a wall plastered 2,200 years ago. The Mcnorah was found only a few hundred yards from the Temple Mount, the site of the second Tompic, which,was destroyed In 70 A:D. The western supporting wall of the temple Is known as the Wailing Wall. "Tnenrtist probably saw the Temple Mcnorah every day," said Prof. AvIgad. "In any case, he was certainly an eyewitness." The discovery, under 15 feet of debris, Is regarded by experts In Judaic history as of major Importance. For the Menorah was one of the holiest items in the Temple, second In Importance only, to the Torab. It is the symbol of the Feast of Light, or Hanukkob.

said Mr. Riekes. "For the first time in many years, we are showing our strength as a unified Jewish community in recognizing the need and providing a valuable program of adult Jewish education. I urge everyone to give careful consideration to the brochure explaining the program, and to mail registration cards promptly," he said.

Tel Aviv (JTA)—Sen. Jacob. K. Javits assured Israeli leaders that President Richard M. Nixon will not change his friendly attitude toward Israel. The New York Republican, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, arrived here on a three day private visit and was received by Premier Golda Meir and Foreign M i n i s t e r Abba Eban. Sen. Javits conceded that there has been a deterioration in IsraelAmerican.rclations but claimed it was due principally to misunderstandings and not to a diminution of American support for Israel. "Sen. Javits said his trip to Israel was to "gather more facts" on what he viewed as a "drifting apart" of Israel and the United States; He said Secretary of State William P. Rogers' Dec. 9 statement of U.S. MiddleJEast policy was "not the last word on the subject by any means" and that the U.S. position had "by no m e a n s crystalized/' ', :

ment. What is. worse," the Congressman declared, "some of the U.S. proposals are totally unrealistic and call for concessions by the Israelis that they clearly will not a c c e p t and should not be asked to accept after the history of the past 20 years."

Britains to Sell Arms to Arabs London (JTA)—Something of a storm appeared lo be brewing in British political circles with disclosures that the British Government had a p p a r e n t l y authorized the sale of hundreds of groundto-air m i s s i l e s and their launchers to the oil-rich Arab sheikdom of Qatar. According to reports the Arab sheikdom will spend one million pounds ($2.4 million) on the British Tiger Cat missile and launchers to defend its airfields a g a i n s t "aggression." ,_. •' Members of Parliament expressed themselves as not so much concerned over the relatively small size of the transaction but over the inequities of British policy on arms in such a danger area as the Middle East. A number of them were expected to press Prime Minister. Harold Wilson for a policy statement.

Israel Statement Deleted From Vatican Document New York (JTA)-A Jewish group has charged that all references to the State of Israel have been deleted from the final text of a Vatican statement on Catholic-Jewish relations, the preliminary draft of which was made public last month. The charge is contained in an editorial scheduled to appear in the Jan. 23 edition of the Reconstructionist.

than a year ago. The CabineVs communique referred to the arms embargo as "a moral and legal injustice" on top of which France "is now prepared to sell 50 M i r a g e s to Libya which has announced its intention to join iu future war efforts a g a i n s t Israel and which demonstrates consistent and extremist activities in the hostile campaign against Israel." Israel's, alarm and concern was heightened by the fear that most if not all of the Mirages would eventually find their way to the Egyptian and probably the Syrian airfortcs to supplement Soviet-supplied aircraft. Military experts in France and other countries sayLibya's minute air force is incapable of maintaining or flying the complex, sophisticated Mirages which, in any event, are not required by Libya for-, defensive purposes, '' French sources have insisted that a clause in the Libyan arms deal forbids the transfer of the planes to any third party. But in the international arms traffic, such clauses are regarded as meaningless because there Is no way to enforce them., . French Reaction The feeling in French political c i r c l e s was that the „ Pompidou regime has^adopted a c l e a r l y pro-Arab policy " " * to become which is expected even more evident in the coming weeks. On its part, Government quarters tried to placate a n g e r e d public opinion by stressing that the first Mirages will not be delivered to Libya until 1971. Official circles also justified the arms deal by/the Importance of Libyan oil. France imports 17 percent of its oil

from Libya and from now on will pay for it with French francs, government s o u r c e s said. They claimed that Libyan oil costs France a dollar less per barrel than its main oil imports from Algeria. But the leftrwing daily Combat, never a partisan of Israel headlined the Libyan deal story, "A Criminal B e t r a y a l . " . The newspaper Figaro questioned the morality of a government which "sells arms to one side while refusing to supply the means of self-defense to the other." L'Aurore said President Pompidou has outdone Former P r e s i d e n t de • Gaulle in the one-sidedness of his Middle East policy. U.S. Concern Time magazine claimed that United States "concern" over France's massive arms deal with Libya is "prompted not solely by the possible impact of the sale on the Middle Bast arms race, but also by some purely commercial considerations. Both the U.S. and the British hope to m a k e arms deals of their own with the Libyans." A c c o r d i n g to Time, the French action may now cause the U.S. to reconsider a request by Premier Golda Mcir ot Israel for more U.S. Phantom and S k y h a w k jets and ground-to-air missiles. T i m e said the French Government "deliberately misled" the U.S. on its sale of 50 Mirages to the Libyans.

By BEN GALLOB A pilot study of 51 hippies living in Manhattan's East Village found that more than onethird were Jews and that male hippies with Jewish parents far outnumbered males whose parents were of other religious affiliations. The study was made in 19C7 by the Center for Community Research, the research department of the Associated YM-YWIIAs of Greater New York.

U.S. to Probe Oil Companies1 Anti-Semif ic Employment Bias Washington (JTA) - A federal investigation is planned that will include a probe of executive level a n t i-Semitic discrimination by oil companies. The investigation would -also, look into anti-Jewish discrimination in managerial employment by the automotive and electronic industries. Plans are being drawn up by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance of the U.S. Department of Labor. OFCC Director John L. Wilks has noted studies by the AntiDefamation League of B'nai B'rlth that Jews represent only ,1.5 percent of corporate executives employed by the oil Industry In New York. The under-representallon of Jews in .oil Indicated a more extreme

discrimination than that practiced by any other major Industry. Companies with interests in Arab states have tended to 'translate Arab prejudices into domestic hiring policies affecting Jews. The investigation of the oil industrys' executive suite bias would come at a time when top-level oil men have been involved in anti-Israel controversy. Leading executives recently met with President Nixon to urge a more pro-Aral) policy. The timing of the probe Is obviously coincidental. The N i x o n Administration will issue new directives in the near future on religious bias in executive hiring. It is considering the advisability of requiring firm guidelines. The

Judaism Editor Quits; Charges Interference NEW YORK (JTA)-An official of the American Jewish Congress confirmed the resignation of Rabbi Steven Schwarzschiid as editor of the organization's intellectual publication, "Judaism," but denied the rabbi's charge that he had been forced out. Rabbi Schwarzschiid, editor since 1062, said he had resigned because of "constant interference" with his "editorial freedom." Dr. Robert Gordis, a noted biblical scholar, has been named to replace him, He is a founder and first board chairman of the quarterly publication. Rabbi Schwarzschiid said that the issue which led to his decision to quit was a debate over publication of an article attacking the Jewish "establishment." The article, "Jewish New Leftism at Berkeley," was written, by Michael P. Lerner, assistant professor of philosophy at Washington University In Seattle. Prof. Lerner wrote that before Jewish youth could be "effectively reached" by a message from Jewish radicals, the presentday synagogue "will have to be smashed." The article called the United Synagogue, the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, and toe Synagogue Council of America, "sewers which allow of . no significant reform." - Richard Cohen, associate director of th» AJCongress, praised Rabbi Schwarzschild's work as editor and denied ho was "forced out." He said the resignation was brought about by "administrative difficulties, weariness and his own desires to free himself from the burden of the magazine in order to write a book he had been planning to do for some years."

who are fundamentally indifferent to piety and untouched by Torah? Perhaps caterers could take over the Bar Mitzvah and liberate the synagogue for true and faithful Jews, by which I mean simply, those who come to worship and listen to the Torah being red. I realize rabbis will argue, but if Bar Mitzvahs are held in synagogues and involve Jewish education, ritual, Sabbath services and so forth — then there is hope of injecting a little bit of religion into the affair. After all, we cannot be perfect, so we need to try as best we can. The argument may have carried weight twenty years ago, but how m u c h hope is left these days that Bar Mitzvahs will ever involve religion? Who can hide his eyes from the vulgarity, the religious indifference thereby imposed upon the synagogue?. The synagogue is holier than the Bar Mitzvah and ought to be allowed to seek its own setting. We have got to stop making synagogues into s e r v i c e stations and the first step is, end'the Bar Mitzvah as a religious rile.

Plea for Help Sent By Egyptian Jews Tel Aviv (JTA)—An Egyptian Jewish family living in Ashdod revealed that it had received an appeal for help from Jews in Egypt. It said a message addressed to Defense Minister Moshe Dayan and "to God" was brought to its home by a foreign seaman who visited Ashdod after his ship had called at an Egyptian port. The message said 8G Jews are still held in the Toura prisson in Egypt "under unbearable conditions." According to the seaman, one of the prisoners died a'few weeks ago.

Good News in Omaha Usually front page stories represent "bad" news. But not this week. The announcement of a community-wide Adult Jewish Education Program is "good" news indeed. It was slow in coming, but we're glad it's here. For too long we have been apathetic to the serious lack of Jewish knowledge typified by many adult Jews. The efforts of individual Jewish organizations to establish Study Group Programs have been hampered by lack of resources and communitywide cooperation, The obvious solution of pooling efforts and resources in a community-wide program will at long last be tried in Omaha. We commend the sponsoring organizations of the Jewish Cultural Committee for joining hands to bring a first-rate program of adult education to Omaha Jewry. Those responsible for the planning have done their job well, but that's only half the story. The success of this project now lies io the hands of the community at large. Will we take advantage of what is being offered? Will we reserve 10 Monday evenings for the purpose of adding Jewish knowledge to our lives? Do we care enough to come and learn? Future efforts of this kind will depend on what we do with this pilot project. Let's make it work.

Tu B'Sheval The festival of Tu B'Shevat, the Jewish Arbor Day, Is celebrated this year on January 22. It marks the approaching end of winter and the beginning of spring. The love of the Jewish people for the tree is reflected in the ancient custom of planting a tree for a newborn child. When children married, boughs of their trees were used for the marriage canopy. The importance of trees for the conservation and development of the land is recognized. In the United States, we celebrate Tu B'Shevat by purchasing tree certificates so that in Israel forests will be planted and barren hillsides restored.

Why America Must Continue Aid to Israel By Milton Friedman The sale of U.S. Phantom jet fighter-bombers and other arms to Israel will continue despite d I fferences b e twcen! the two countries, according I to congressional | sources. America will [ remain Israel's arms source because p o I i c y-1 makers are convinced that an M. Friedman i m b a 1 ance would increase war risks. The danger of American involvement in a confrontation with the Soviet Union in the Middle East is seen minimized by adequate Israeli military strength. A U.S. role cannot only help deter Arab aggression but also inhibit Israel from pre-emptive warfare. State Department officials remain enraged by Israel's charges of "appeasement." Israel is c o n v i n c e d that her hopes for a real peace were undermined by the State Department's concessions to the Arabs and Russians at Israel's expense. But higher levels of the government view Israeli arms needs in a different context. President Nixon is expected to approve a carefully limited portion of the pending Israeli

shopping, list submitted by Israeli P r e m i e r Golda Meir when she was a White House guest last S e p t e m b e r . She asked for additional Phantoms, other arms, and American help in financing the purchases. It now appears likely that approval will eventually be given for some more Phantoms and o t h e r w e a p o n s . The amount would be limited with delivery scheduled in monthly driblets to retain leverage to influence Israeli policies. Without the new authorization, Israel would in 1970 receive the last of the 50 Phantoms approved last year. Since the United States is Israel's only remaining source of sophisticated aircraft, the continuity of supply is of supreme importance. Israel's f u t u r e may hinge upon her airpower. Congressmen who expect the president to a u t h o r i z e new sales to Israel do not anticipate new loans to finance the transactions. They cite the domestic "tight money" situation and the inflationary pressures restricting government funds. . Israel is the world's only democracy threatened by Soviet-supplied jets that has such difficulties in Washington both In buying and financing American jets. U.S. military policy toward Israel is examined in a study entitled " D i l e m m a s of the Arms Traffic" in the new issue of "Foreign Affairs," an American quarterly review. Geoffrey Kemp, author of the analysis, saw the issue as "how to balance the need to preserve Israel's security against the dangers of a U.S.-Soviet confrontation and. continued bad •relationships with Arab coun-

tries." It was found that "there are some compelling reason why the most important U.S. policy objectives have been served by supplying certain weapons to Israel." .According to the analysis, "a unilateral decision to delay, or withhold aircraft or spare parts would stand the risk of tipping the crucial balance of air power, not necessarily in favor ol Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Jordan, but at least away from the present clear superiority which Israel enjoys. It can be argued that as long as Israel remains the dominant local airpower in the Middle East, the liklihood of a full scale resumption of war is lessened, though not, of course, completely removed. If Egypt became persuaded that it could gain mastery of the air in tho event of an all-out war, the temptation to plan a major offensive campaign against Israel would grow." It added that "if Israel believed that this was a real probability, it would prepare for preemptive action, and the stage w o u l d be set for the fourth war." Foreign affairs warned that If America denied arms to Israel, the Israelis would "redouble its attempts to build up its own arms industry, and would almost certainly move further toward a nuclear option." The American problem was concluded to be finding a way "to provide Israel with an optimum military force that is not so large as to remove all constraints on Israel, but sufficient to deter yet another premature and highly destabilizing Arab offensive, and the inevitable Israeli response."

The Year Ahead This is the time of the year for reviewing the past year and looking ahead to the future. Many Issues will confront Omabans, and the same issues will confront all of the country. ISRAEL—This will continue to demand the attention of the Jewish community during the coming year. It will be our responsibility, to explain the Middle East situation and the plight of Israel to the non-Jewish community. Public opinion is weakening in terms of support for Israel and it is our prime responsibility to effectively tell the story to all in our commun-' Jty. CHRISTIAN-JEWISH ItELATIONS—A new era exists where we are able to talk with officials of the Christian community in a new straight forward manner. We have become more honest with each other and are ' now able to discuss frankly - those issues which have divided us in the past. CHURCH-STATE — In all areas of the country we see the drive for state financial support of private schools, the ma-

Hebrew U. Hit by Student Militancy Jerusalem (JTA)—The Hebrew University's S t u d e n t s Union announced this week that it had formed an "actions committee" to pursue student demands for greater representation in university affairs. The Union sold it would try to achieve its goals by "persuasion and peaceful means" but added that "more extreme action" was not precluded should other means fail. The students have demanded representation on the University's governing Senate, on its' faculty councils and on the academic committees that meet -once~a~weelr and~dccide'most~ day-to-day matters. The student demands were flatly rejected by the University's Rector, Prof. Jacob Katz, this week. Speaking on national television, he said they couldn't be considered until this year's experiments with joint studentfaculty committees are fully evaluated. Prof. Katz accused the Students Union of incitement and what he called "open and dlslisecLthreats/LHe said " r umors" of disquiet on the campus were "grossly exaggerated and, in some cases, clearly biased." He played down the importance of "the issues mentioned as causing discontent."

Hebrew Day School Leaders Protest lack of Aid From Jewish Federation New York (JTA)-More than 500 New York • City Hebrew day school educators and laity education leaders voted by acclamation this , week for a series of protest actions aimed at -the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies if the Federation did not respond to requests for ; funds the schools needed to end "a financial crisis."No date was set in the resolution but a spokesman said that there was general agreement on delaying such actions another four or five weeks. The spokesman said that the last meeting between Hebrew Day School representatives and Federation officials was held, last September and that since then, Federation officials have continued to report that the request was "under study" by a commission. The resolution was adopted as a Delegates

Assembly r e p r e s e n t i n g 150 Hebrew Day Schools, which was convened by the Association of New York City Yeshiva Principals and Administrators. Some 50,000 children attend the affected schools. The spokesman reported that the debts of the day schools in the New York area last year totalled between $10 million and $20 million and that the day school representatives had asked the Federation for a "minimum" funding for this year of ?6 million. The resolution authorized demonstrations by teachers and parents - at the Federation headquarters in Manhattan and at Federation buildings in the other borough's, picketing by pupils and parents and a mass shutdown of all the 150 schools for a two-day period.

QUESTION: now old Is the Yiddish language and what Is its origin? ANSWER: The oldest Yiddish manuscript that we know of is a medical treatise of 1396. Yiddish is a middle German with a mixture of Slavic, French, Hebrew and even other languages. Its characteristic is that it is always written with the letters of. the Hebrew alphabet. German Jews, when they fled to the East " during the atrocities they suffered at the time of the Black Plague In the fourteenth century, took with them the language of their oppressors and preserved it, while at the same time adding wc-rds from the lands of their new environment. Later, when the Jews of Russia and Poland fled the East they took this language with them wherever they went calling it "mamaeloschen" (their mother-tongue). It seems strange that in the country of its origin, Germany, Yiddish was hardly spoken at all during the last centuries.. QUESTION: What is the Magen David?

ANSWER: The Magen David (Shield of David) Is the n a m e given to the figure of the six-pointed star which Has'somehow bec o m e to b e a symbol of the Jewish people. - •••-.:•
