T Rosh Hashana 7970
Egyptians Bury President Nasser While Jews throughout tiio world were observing the High Holiday of Rosh Hashana, Egyptians were burying their president, Gamal Abdel Nasser, who died suddenly of a heart attack Monday. He was 52. Many commented on tli9 strange irony in the coincidence of the man responsible for much of the trouble suffered by the Jewish State of Israel, being laid to rest on the High Holiday of the Jewish people. His death, confirmed by Cairo radio will have unpredictable consequences for the Middle East conflict and prospects for peace, diplomatic sources said in Washington. Diplomatic sources said that Nasser's untimely death was a serious blow that would affect the entire Middle East
because "there is no one around of the same stature" in the Arab world. Col. Nasser was born in 1918, was educated at the Cairo Military Academy and made his career as an Army officer. He fought in the1948 Arab-Israeli war and was leader of a group of young Army officers who overthrew the late King Farouk in the1 coup d'etat of July 23, 1952. He was Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior of Egypt in 1952-54, Prime Minister and Military Governor in 1954-56 and became Egypt's first President in 1956, the office he held at the time of his death. It was during Nasser's tenure that the Soviet Union gained_ its first foothold in the Middle East, becoming Egypt's chief military supplier
and diplomatic supporter. As President, Col. Nasser frequently visited the USSR. He was awarded the rank of Hero of the Soviet Union, one of the highest orders bestowed by the Soviet Government. President Nasser had suffered from diabetes and other ailments for several years and often sought medical treatment in the USSR. His death came only a day after he presided at a meeting of Arab states in Cairo at which King, Hussein, of Jordan and Palestinian guerrilla leader, Yassir Arafat, signed a pact ending the ten-day Jordanian civil war. Diplomatic observers here said Nasser's death greatly complicated Hussein's problems since the Jordanian monarch dep e n d s n the Egyptian leader for support.

ka, 20, a school teacher in North Bergen, N.J., said the guerrillas found in her possession a photograph of herself posing beside a burnt-out Syrian tank. She said it was a souvenir of her holiday in Israel but they insisted that she was a member of the Israel Army women's corps, and, because she speaks Arabic, that she was a spy. Miss Malka said her knowledge of Arabic was helpful because she was able to act as anjnterpreter for the other hostages. The freed hostages told news;\merl that they, were treated very, well by their Palestinian captors who shared food and water with them and were very polite. Although most of the hostages were Jewish and some had dual American-I s r a e 1 i citizenship, there was no discrimination. Kosher food was provided for the observant Jews among the' hostages and they were permitted to observe the Sabbath, the returnees said.. David Miller, 18, a Jewish
youth from Brooklyn told newsmen, "I made friends with them. I became a little more sympathetic toward their cause. They are human' beings, like e v e r y o n e else." Barbara Mensch, a 16-year-old h i g h school girl from-Scarsdale, N.Y. said, "They really had' no intention of harming us. We had some very close calls. It was extremely frightening." However, another Jewish youth, • who did not want, to be identified, commented, "I suppose we're saying just what they wanted us to say—what great guys they are and how they've got a real point. As somebody . said, we're worth more, alive to them than dead." Mark Shain, a 20-year old : University of Wisconsin student, said, "We felt they knew if anything happened to us it would be the end of them as far as world opinion is _concerned." He said he thought the guerril-, las finally released the hostages because "We were a liability" to them. .

Jews in America Were Hijack Victims! NEW YORK (JTA)—The first Jewish immigrants to America came here because they had been sidetracked by hijackers 316 years ago, a group of 200 New York Jews was told by Rabbi Avram, Goodman, president of the American Jewish Historical Society. The'200 New York Jews made a walking tour of Jewish historical sites in lower Manhattan, starting in Peter Minuit Plaza at the southern tip of Manhattan. A flag pole and a plaque mark the site there of the landing of 23 Jews in 1654, the first to come to New Amsterdam. Rabbi Goodman described tlje hijacking in a brief discourse to the walkers before they started (heir tour. He said that the 23 Jews, seeking to escape Portuguese oppression in Recife, Brazil, set sail for what they hoped would be a friendlier haven in Dutch-held Curacao. Their boat was, hijacked on the high seas but they were saved by the St. Charles,, a French -ship, which .dropped them off, destitute, in New Amsterdam, The newcomers were as poorly received by, {\he.Dutch as they had been in Brazil, Rabbi Goodman recounted, adding that they were barred from maintaining synagogues, retail stores or fur businesses and denied welfare aid. But, he said, under the leadership of Asser Levy, one of their number, they eventually achieved first-class citizenship. The marchers then walked past the site of the first synagogue, now a parking lot, and under the Brooklyn Bridge to Chatham Square where there is still a part of the first Jewish cemetery in this country.

with the Warsaw Yiddish Theatre, an ossified bon vivant, and a one-time friend of Kafka —takes a last fling at life. But Isaac Singer's characters, whether they are of the past or of the present, whether they are heroic or pathetic, all walk the knife-edge between the supernatural and the superreal. They inhabit a world in, which mystical signs and spiritual apparitions can appear amidst the park benches of New York or the street markets of Poland. In "The Cafeteria" Singer blends the bleak reality of a Broadway cafeteria with a woman's supernatural vision of THE HOLOCAUST.

Albany, N.Y. (JTA) — The Jewish students of the State University of New York at Albany have achieved a major victory in their fight lo be recognized as a potent force on campus. President Louis T. Benezet rescinded an earlier decision and directed the University to suspend classes,on the Jewish High Holy Days of Itosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It is beileved to be the first time that a University calendar has been changed to recognize Jewish holidays. Student leaders of the Hillel Society and Ann Yisroel had met with Mr. Benezet on Sept. 14 to relay to him the Jewish students' displeasure at classes being scheduled for the High Holy Days. He was told that even though the state law says that a student cannot be penalized for missing a class for religious observance, the student is, in effect, in being penalized by missing whatever was done in class (hat day. Student leaders also pointed out that the University was working on a double standard. • The high Christian holiday's are always

Mr. Benezet expressed his regrets that there was nothing he- could do to close the school this year. Several days later, at Mr. Benezet's weekly conference with students, 200 students challenged his decision. Directly after this meeting, the University Senate met and overwhelmingly approved a bill urging President Benezet to reconsider his earlier decision. The next morning, Steve Shaw, a student leader in the fight to have classes cancelled for the Jewish High Holy Days, received a phone call from the president's office, informing him that the President had changed his mind and that classes would be suspended for Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur.

Mrs. Pike said she wanted to learn the language of Israel because she intends to bring a number of Americans here on a regular basis under the auspices of the Bishop Pike Foundation. Mrs. Pike, whose home is in Bakorsfield, Calif, said she was continuing her late husband's research in Israel for a book on the historical Jesus.

J e w i s h Congregations, and Rabbi Berzon, president of the Rabbinical Council of America, deplored the "flimsy atlractiyeness" of holiday resorts and "their substitute services.1' They expressed concern over the departure of Jews from their home areas to resort areas with their "makeshift" synagogues a n d emphasized t h a t "synagogue desertion" during the holidays "inflicts serious damage upon these (home area) institutions." A joint statement by the two rabbis noted that the yearly exodus to resorts creates^ a financial burden on the synagogues that are deserted because they depend to a large degree on the support of worshippers during the holy days to provide a considerable proportion of their budgets. According to the statement, "instant synagogues" arc not only "religiously questionable but impair the solvency" of allyear round synagogues. The rabbis also expressed concern about resort advertising of special facilities to attract holiday guests. "Resorts which advertise together with their High Holy Day services, Broadway shows and other entertainment of questionable value are simply not acceptable as places of worship lo the faithful Jew." The statement added that by exchanging the synagogue for the resort "'"e rob our young generation of the strong and soul-nourishing impact of the 'days of awe.'"

And b,y nightfall, as the first day of Rosh Hashanah came to an end, every Danish Jew had been hidden. Tn*e Danish people, after three years of somnolent collaboration with their oppressors, had risen to direct action, had taken the Danish Jews — their fellow-citizens — into their homes and churches and smuggled them by ferry and fishing-smack »and rowboat, past the German shoreguards and the Gestapo gunboats, across the narrow, mine-laden waters of the Ore Sound to the haven of Sweden. And the spark of Danish resistance, brought to incandescence by this deed of rescue, was to flame brightly until the . end of the war.

New York (JTA)—A 31-yearold Hassidic rabbi and municipal caseworker has praised the American Jewish Congress for its assistance in gaining him a transfer to another area after he was subjected to anti-Semitic taunts for three months in his signed area. Rabbi Howard Scheiner, a member of..UWL.city's Social Services Department for three and a half years, was transferred to the Bay Bridge center in Brooklyn after complaining of taunts by undesirables while working at the Wyckoff center in the largely black and Puerto Riean Bedford-Stuyvesant and Williamsburg sections ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS ETCHINGS—PRINTS EXPERT FRAMING RENTAL PLAN

Pagre Fin,
The Confiniied Existence of the Jew! How to Hccoysif for If? By DR. EMIL L. FACKENHEIM (Dr. Fackenlielm, professor of philosophy at the University of Toronto, endeavors to explain the enigma of the Jew in this article extracted from lifs book, "Tfae Quest for Past and Future; Essays in Jewish Theology." Copyrighted and distributed by special permission of I n d i a n a University Press.)
The News W e Print We don't like all the news we print! • We would like it if the latest news told pf peace in Israel; the end of anti-Semitism and the rededication of Jewish youth to their Jewish heritage. Unfortunately, these things are not happening. News Is made of things that are happening. As a result, we must often print items that tell of events which threaten the safety of Israel; of anti-Semitic incidents and the alienation of our young people. In no way docs the printing of these news ((cms Indicate our approval of them. We wish these things were not happening, but since they are, they must be included In our news columns. ' > In much the same way, we regret that our local social news columns reflect the growing rate of inter-marriage which is the trend throughout the country. Some have questioned the propriety of the Jewish Press printing news of these marriages. While we share the concern of many of the threat to Jewish survival inherent in inter-marriage, we have no choice but to print the news as it is happening—in the world, in the nation and in our own community. ; The printing of any news item does not necessarily indicate our approvalor endorsement of the event. We trust that our readers can make this discrimination for themselves.
New Man at the Pentagon It has been disclosed that the new Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Near East and Asslan Affairs, James H. Noyes, was active for more than four years with the Ameircan Friends of the Middle East, an organization that has' taken a consistently pro-Arab stand on matters affecting that region. Mr. Noyes. 43, assumed his Pentagon post on September 15. He is responsible for all policy matters of Defense Department interest pertaining to countries of the Near East and Southeast Asia. Just what Israel needs most—another "friend" in the'USState Department.

The modern Jew is an enigma to himself. When he reflects on his existence as a Jew, he cannot but be filled with wonder. Other individuals and peoples may wonder how they have come to be what they are; the Jews must wonder why he should exist at all. For if there are laws of historical change, the Jew should, according to these laws, have disappeared long ago. Was there ever another people- which continued to exist, " u n d e r l i k e circumstances, through the centuries? The answer is that there was not. Other people require the bond of a common land, or a common language, or a common culture in order to continue in existence. The Jew, for long centuries, has had none of these. Consequently, self-appointed experts in the laws of historical change have been ever quick to predict his impending disappearance. But thus far at l e a s t these prophecies have always been confounded. The Jew still exists — a source of wonder both to others and hifself. How Is one to account, for the continued existence of the Jew? Will.to Survive Certainly not in t e r m s of persecution, or discrimination. It is true that such forms of hostility-may unite their victims, creating In them a group will to survive. They may cling defiantly •to.'tlie very trait which singles them out for penalty. But, they may also do the very opposite, that is, try to get rid of the fatal trait. In the case of the Jew,- unlike that of the Negro, this is not impossible. Furthermore, persecution, while frequent, has by no means been constant in Jewish history. There were long periods in which the Jew was invited to participate in the life that surrounded him; and he never showed any lack of eagerness to accept this invitation. The conclusion, then, is clear; it is impossible to account for Jewish survival in such negative terms as persecution or discrimination. Nor do we fare much better with such positive terms as "love of tradition" or "loyalty feelings to the group." To bo sure, tradition had a strong hold on the Western Jew until' the beginning of the nineteenth century, and on his East Europeart" brother until the beginning of the twentieth. But this tradition was, for the most part, not static, fossilized, inert; it was fluid. Also, it was frequently exposed to the threat of disintegration. Yet it did not disintegrate; rather, it preserved itself. • Why should Jewish tradition have preserved itself rather than "disintegrated? ' •,t Collective Feeling;, . . To ask' this question' is to
ask the question of Jewish survival ail over again. In short, "love of tradition" does not explain Jewish survival; it is an aspect of the very t h i n g in question. In the case of Jewish survival, then, "national feeling" or "group loyalty" are not explanations, but again part of the very thing to be explained. But perhaps collective feelings can exist and survive independently of the experiences which nourish.them? Perhaps 1 there are entities such as a "racial will" which are passed on through the blood? We need not waste our time on such fictions. For they exist only inthe minds of the demagogues and charlatans of our century. It becomes abundantly clear, then, that to account for Jewish survival is possible only in terms of the Jewish faith. All the other supposed causes of Jewish survival, such as tradition or feelings of group loyalty, can themselves be explained only in terms of the Jewish faith. It is because of the Jewish faith that the Jew still exists—as we have said, a source of wonder both to others and himself. This fact places the Jew of our time in a unique position. Like everyone else in the world of today, he is prey to religious doubt. Like everyone else, he is unsure whether, and if so to what extent, he can accept the faith which was handed down to him. But unlike everyone . else, he must admit that it is because of that faith that he exists at all. Whatever one may.think of the Biblical account of Jewish origins—whether one takes it to be literally true or merely "mythological — two facts a r e , beyond doubt: first, even if the Biblical account is merely mythological, there is an element in it which is true; second, countless generations of Jews accepted it as true. Biblical Faith The first fact concerns the faith of the Biblical, the second that of the post-Biblical Jew. 'The first fact serves to explain how the Jewish people, •was born; the second, why it* survived. The Jew of today must contemplate both these •facts; if not in order to learn what, as a Jew, he ought to be, at least in order to understand what, as a Jew, he is.
to it as a Jew. To do so Is to recognize that the duty to Jewish survival is, for the Jew, part of what is at stake in the religious choice. ' When the time is ripe for dcslon, the Jew may well decide that the ancient duty to Jewish survival must be abandoned. Should this be the eventual choice, then the Jewish people, as it has existed for three thousand years, will cease to be. Jewislmess will become a mere right, to be made use of. only by those with a taste for it. Jews of tiie State of Israel will become Israelis, and Jews elsewhere will either become members of a denomination like other denominations or eles a minority doomed to eventual extinction. But the Jew may also, in the end, decide to reaffirm the ancient duty of Jewish survival. This will be possible only if the Jew has remembered, and accepted as authentic,. the ancient encounter of his people with the living God.
School Dropouts Worry Israeli Too
Jerusalem — Israel, which prides itself on its young men and women being well-educated and highly motivated, faces a serious school drop-out problem, and Israeli authorities are growing alarmed at the increasing rate. According to official sources at the Ministry of Education, the 30 per cent drop-out rate among children whose families migrated from Moslem countries—the so-called "Sephardic" Jews — is significantly higher than the rest of the nation. The percentage of Sephardic Jews attending school d r o p ' s dramatically as the level of ed-_ ucation increases. Thexjrgpresent 5 percent of all pupils attending elementary school, and 40 percent of those in high school. Only 25 perecnt grad- . uates. Among reasons advanced for the problem is that the drive for education is much' stronger Y among people noj, raised in* Moslem countries and it is the , environmental or cultural gap which must be closed if the Sephardic Jew is to compete successfully.

The Wife of Israel's President Is Honored "In Her Own Right"
By JUDITH AXLER Sheldon Kopp rediscovered w h a t our grandparents and great-grandparents knew: that you cannot help without being helped, that you cannot teach without learning. Sheldon Kopp has discovered Hassidic psychotherapy. Hassidic psychotherapy? Sheldon Kopp is a clinical psychologist. He spends his time trying to make people happier than they are. His philosophy has no room for institutions, neckties, dishonesty and psychological jargon. His method is to gel people off guard and keep them off balance. "One of the formulae for change Is to be where they ain't," Kopp e x p l a i n e d . "Therapy Is Interruption. Stop people from doing what they are doing. When they can't depend on the • usual reinforcement, they have to come up with something new."
Self Study for Reform Judaism
That's t h e w a y p e o p l e change, become h a p p i e r . That's what therapy is all about. But Kopp's therapy is closer to Hassidism than to Sigmund Freud. Freud felt that the therapist had to be a mirror, who allowed nothing of himself to show through so that he could reflect the patient's problems clearly. Kopp feels that the most important thing in therapy is the relationship between the patient and the therapist. He will not see patients he does not like. "If you can have a meaningful relationship with me, it will probably be helpful in whatever else you do," Kopp said. He stresses tjiat the important thing is the relationship. That's why he models himself after the zaddik, the Hassidic religious leader of the 18th and 19th Centuries. In an article in "Psychology T o d a y " May, 1969, Kopp wrote: . ' "The relationship between the zaddik and his disciple was the crucial factor in (the) attempt to give spiritual help, just as the relationship be, tween therapist and patient is crucial . . . The zaddik is a helper who extends Ids hand to a follower, and if the follower will take it, guides him until he is able to find his own way. Yet, the zaddik must never relieve his follower of the responsibility of doing for himself whatever he is strong enough to do." "At, the same time, the zaddik must participate in a way that risks his own deep personal involvement. He must ba willing to be closer to another and to get caught up in his troubles." Kopp is not espousing a new kind of psychotherapy. This idea was around long before Freud called it psychotherapy, arid. has been part of the psychological scene for more than 20 years. Kopp is simply using traditional metaphors to describe this approach — which some people still consider ijevolutionary. Freudian therapists look with horror at the expression of' emotion by the doctor. Kopp proves that this idea is as old as history. He has used every-' thing from Buddaism to fairy tales to find theraputic models. He discovered his Hassidic model in graduate school in New York where, like many young people, he was searching for relevancy and meaning. He considered himself a nonmilitant atheist by that time, despite a Jewish background and a childhood wish to become a rabbi, lie started reading about re- . ligion, especially his own, and came upon Martin,Buber, the modern interpreter of HassadIsm, "I was touched by it," Kopp said. "Doing psychotherapy is a way of dealing with my own loneliness anyway," Kopp said. "Each man is ultimately alone.
By BEN GALLOB The Unioon of American Hebrew Congregations has started a major study of Its own programs and those of its affiliated congregations in the United States and Canada aimed at keeping American Reform Judaism "a viable religious force" in ;the future; The project was developed in response to the swiftly-changing social patterns impinging on American Jewish life and particularly the growing lienation of youth from established institutions of religion. < The study was. announced by Alan V. Iselin, a member of the UAHC board of trustees and chairman of the organization's recently-formed long-r a n g e planning committee. A UAHC spokesman emphasized that the Intensive selfsurvey would not be "Just another study to be published and put on the shelf." The spokesman said that the intention of the board in authorizing the study was to obtain and apply a comprehensive set of data on all elements of the functioning of the institutions of American Reform, including the Jewish Institute of Religion-Hebrew Union College, the Reform seminary. The goal is to provide the UAHC "with tbe means of comprehensive, integrated 1 o n gprogram planning." The study will be directed by Prof. Leonard J. Fein, associate director and director of research of the Joint Center for Urban Studies of Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The first phase of the study will be an evaluation of the activities of six Reform synagogues of varying size, affluence and geographical location. All, member congregations have been informed about the study, and about the fact that six'of them will be invited to pa rticipale in the first phase of the study. The six congregations have not yet been selected.

That's difficult to bear. You're all stuck together. I tell my patients: I can't take care of you. I am as strong and as weak as you are. I'm not a magician but one of the most human members of society. I'm ready to fail and make a fool of myself. Freedom is a product of accepting imperfections. Salvation is at hand. AH you have to do is grasp it, and grasp it, and grasp it. It's liko Yom Kippur every day." Kopp uses a Hassidic model because it's new, unusual and appeals to people once they get over their initial shock. "I chose religion because I am a Jew, because religion says fundamental things about man and the world, and becauso this is a non-religious era. When people come to me for a psychological interpretation of what they do, I tell them a story about a zaddik.". Kopp isn't trying to make fun of his patients, he's trying to shock- them out of their limited way of seeing psychotherapy—and the world. That's his way of b r i n g i n g about change.
Sermon Leads to Social Action Long Beach, N. Y.—A multimedia sermon on race relations presented before a N a s s a u county Reform synagogue stimulated creation of a much-discussed and long-deferred synagogue action committee to investigate pockets of poverty and discrimination a g a i n s t blacks in the" area. Cantor Richard Botton of T e m p l e - Emanu-EI of Long Beach, N.Y., who conceived the experimental sermon, reported that presentation of " T o r a h Like It Is" had led individual congregants to • ih'voTc themselves in community relations activities. "The sermon, presented-lastOctober, contrasted the. biblical injunction "But they shall sit, every man unaer his vine and under his fig tree and none shall make him afraid," with local slum conditions and race riots of 1965, and those in Newark and Detroit in 1967, the cantor said. Ho said the sermon sought to pose the q u e s t i o n as to whether the white community — Jewish and non-Jewish — could "sit under the fig tree" and ignore the plight of the black community. He n o t e d Long B e a c h was a city of "tense" white-black relations and that because most of the population is Jewish, the problem has assumed the guise of Jewish-black tensions. The c a n t o r reported that about 800 people, mostly white and Jewish, but including some blacks and local political leaders, had attended the sermon, which included slides, tapes, liturgical melodies and narrators. . ; He said the political leaders came because the slides, supplied by local black leaders, showed local slum conditions, that the reaction of the black community to the'sermon had been positive, thbligh blackWhite relations remaia tense iie said "they kjibW about our activity and Interesi," and that the reaction of th^e, congregation also bad been favorable. "A, handful" of' congregants however called the presentation "one-Bided." '
