He said that if reports of new American arms supplies to Israel were true they would contribute to a certain extent to Israel's ability to face the Egyptian and Russian deployment in the Suez area. But the American arms will not change the fact that a flagrant violation of the ceasefire agreement was carried out and - this undermines the credibility of any future agreement with the Egyptians, ha said.

Hadassah President Criticizes Youth For Methods Supporting Soviet Jews New York (JTA)—Mrs. Max Schenk, president of Hadassah, criticized. the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry this week as being intransigent, misguided and immature. In an interview with the Jewish Telegraphic A g e n c y , the head of the Women's Zionist Organization of America expressed outrage at the SSSJ's "storming the b u i l d i n g " to "tell us what to do" about the plight of Soviet Jewry. "They are very young kids with very decent and honorable intentions, but a little misguided," she declared, adding: "Certainly youth isn't going to tell us what to do. I don't have to prove Hadassah's interests in all matters that concern world Jewry." Glenn Richter, New York coordinator for the SSSJ, said they presented their case for increased Hadassah activity on Soviet Jewry to Mrs. Rose Mitzkin, head of the Zionist Affairs Committee, and to Mrs. Schenk. Mr. Richter said said the students presented "suggestions," not " d e m a n d s , " similar to those presented June 26, to B'nai B'rilh, "which called the police to-evict the SSSJers. The "suggestions" were for an "internal committee to injure massive attendance at rallies"; the a l l o t t m e n t of " m e a n i n g f u l funds" to the American and New York Jewish Conferences on Soviet Jewry, of which Hadassah is a charter member; the "regular distribution of "Soviet Jewry action programs" to local Hadassah chapters, and the ap-

Brooklyn (JTA)—One of the two sukkahs erected at Brooklyn College in celebration of the Feast of the Tabernacles was toppled over by unknown persons last week. In addition, ,a swastika was daubed on it and the vandals stole paintings and other artifacts used as decorations. The two wooden structures were put up by the Jewish Cultural Institute and the college's Minyan Club and were open to all who wished to participate in Succoth ceremonies.' Several Jewish students interviewed by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency said they did not feel the incident was antiSemitic in nature. Several other students expressed resentment but added they did not want to do anything to blow it out of proportion. -
pointment of a fulltime administrator for Soviet Jewry problems. Mr. Richter said that, although Hadassah had done "a little bit more" about the problem than other Jewish organizations, it could do much more. Mrs. Schenk told the JTA that Hadassah does have an internal committee that deals in part with Soviet Jewry, and that it i's headed by a fulltime professional Miriam Taub. The Hadassah president said she resented the students' demanding of her, "What are you doing? Did you march?" She said she replied: "I don't POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT

There are "conventional ways of doing it." Mrs. Schenk said she would be willing to meet again with the students on the recommendation of Rabbi H e r s c h e l Schacter, c h a i r m a n of the American Jewish Conference on Soviet Jewry. Mrs. Schenk said the SSSJ members acted as if the Sov-let Jewry is going to the gas chamber because of Hadasah." POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT

Black and Jewish Youth Aid Arson-Hit Synagogue New York (JTA)—A'group of 37 black and Jewish teenagers worked together to clean out the debris from three floors of a synagogue in Bostom slum which had been the target of arson, according to a report by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'ritii. The Agudath Israel synagogue, the oldest synagogue in New England, is located in the Dorchester area, once a Jewish section and now a black ghetto. . • The black-and-white cleanup of the descrated synagogue was undertaken by Negro members of a Youth, Inc., a neighborhood group and members of the AZA branch of the B'nai B'rith Youth Organization. The black and white teenagers were not strangers. They had met previously iii a dialogue sponsored by the ADL to determine what young people could do to lessen tensions in the crimer i d d e n Mattapan-Dorchestcr area. The ADL Bulletin described the dialogue as "a candid confrontation" in which the black youths made it clear that they considered the meeting not one with a Jewish group but with a white one. They said blacks do not have hostile attitudes to-
Synagogue Council Gets Ford Grant New York (JTA)—The Ford Foundation has granted nearly $100,000 to a project sponsored by the Synagogue Council of America to ease tension and conflict between blacks and Jews in urban areas. .:'. Rabbi Solomon J. Sharfman, president of the S y n a g o g u e Council, said the project- was started in 1969 during the New York City teachers' strike which aggravated racial and religious tensions. "What the Synagogue Council's program seeks to do is to encourage the formation of coalitions of religious and lay leaders, blacks and Jews, a r o u n d common problems of a fundamental nature, such as housing, crime, narcotics, and e d u c a t i o n , " Rabbi Scharfman said.
wards Jews as Jews but toward whites in general, in response to "years of injustice." The teenagers — white arid black alike — agreed that urban schools for blacks were poor, lacking qualified teachers and with curricula they called "outmoded, oppressive and unresponsive to the need for change" both in the inner cities and in the suburbs. The ADL said t h e r e was "some recognition" that blacks and Jews faced mutual problems in the areas of "the education system, housing, segregation, employment and s o c i a l club discrimination." The ADL reported that the dialogue. ended "on a note of enthusiasm and hope" and that all the participants felt that "talking to each other frankly had been a good and productive experience." All reported they wanted to' continue the meetings. A follow-up session' was being planned when the '
arson against the"~ synagogue took pla"ce. The ADL said that "it was a natural next step for the two groups "to come together in meaningful action" to put the synagogue back into operation, demonstrating that "in this changing community, there can be pride of community and working for the general good." The ADL said more such dialogues were being planned.

Jewish Community Fears New Attacks by Puerto Ricari Youth BrooMyn, N.Y. (JTA) — In wake of the unprecedented terrorist attack by 50 Puerto Rican youths on a Brooklyn synagogue during concluding Yom Kippur services, residents in the Boro Park area in which the attack was launched have expressed their fears that a second and more serious confrontation may take place. Members of the a t t a c k e d synagogue, Khal Adath Soclio• chow, and other persons residing in this neighborhood, told a •TM reporter that in the days following the i n c i d e n t , they

The arrest of two Puerto Ricans allegedly involved in the assault has infuriated the youth and a threat was r e p o r t e d to have been made upon the life of an Orthodox woman who identified one of the assailants .arrested. The unnatural quiet' which has settled over this neighborhood particularly alarms the residents who fear that "something bad is brewing." A 24 hour police patrol which was
Recapturing Alienated Youth Goal of Chicago Synagogue Chicago (JTA)—The goals of Congregation Beth Ami, which was started last January, -were described recently in a letter to the Sentinel of Chicago. President Nat Gershman and Rabbi Irving Schrier reported that in the late months of 1969, . a group of seven young married couples in suburban Chicago "became increasingly disturbed at what had come to pass for modern synagogue life" and decided "to do something about it." The families formed a congregation and adopted a constitution which established the principle that all members were entitled to a voice in synagogue affairs. They said that, accordingly, synagogue ritual honors are not "purchased" but are distributed equitably among the congregants and that "the leadership of the congregation is not vested solely in the most affluent members." "The.congregation's goal is to recapture the alienated Jewish young people, and to instill pride and dignity- into a generation where disinterest

and cynicism now prevail," the officials declared. The constitution specifies that "no burdensome financial obligations be placed upon its members. A most reasonable dues structure has been formulated, bearing that very principle in mind." They reported that-most of the congregants are in the 25 to 35-year age group, with a smaller percentage over 40. From the original seven families, they said the congregation has grown to a membership of 115 families. Average attendance at Sabbath services — • "without any Bar or Bas Mitzvah celebrations or the like" — has been 75 or more. They reported also, that the synagogue's adult education programs "have been exceptionally well attended and show no signs of abatement even after the gu'tter and newness have worn off." The "usual motive" for joining a synagogue—to give children a Jewish education—does not apply to Congregation Beth Ami, the officials added, because only "a very small percentage" of the congregants have children old enough to be enrolled in Hebrew school.

stationed near the synagogue immediately following the attack was removed this weekend and some persons voiced the wish for the Jewish Defense League to continue its patrol of the n e i g h b o r h o o d which was initiated the day following the incident. In reaction to the synagogue attack, more than 500 persons gathered in Boro Park on the night of Shmini Atzereth last Wednesday to hear Rabbi Meir Kahane, National Chairman of the Jewish Defense League, speak about what he termed increasing anti-Semitism and terrorism occurring in Jewish neighborhoods during recent weeks. The crowd assembled at Congregation Ohel Avrohom, located in Boro Park, in response to placards posted in the area which read: "While Jewish People in This Neighborhood Were Being Terrorized —What Did You Do? We Were There! Come Hear the Facts!"

Jewish Generals in the Civil War? The Forgotten Victim Professor Jacob R. Marcus, Pirector of the American Jewish Archives at Cincinnati's Hebrew Union College, is frequently asked whether there •were any Jewish Generals in the Civil War. A Jew always answers a question by asking a question: "What do you mean by general? What do you mean by Jew?" During the Civil War period there were two types of general, regularly commissioned and brevetted. The brevet rank, an honorary one, was frequently awarded to an officer for gallantry in action or for some special meritorious service. There are also two working definitions of Jews. A Christian definition of a Jew is anyone concerning whom there is a reminiscence of Jewish ori.gin. And the Jewish definition? If a man says he is a Jew,. then he is a Jew. Now to the question: Were there Jewish generals in the Civil War? There were at least five of apparent Jewish descent. No Jews were regularly commissioned as general, but two Jews, officers on active duty, were given the nominal rank of brigadier general. Three are reputed to have been brevetted as brigadiers, and one was a 'militia brigadier in 1860, the year before war was declared. There may have been more general officers of Jewish background, but we will never be sure. A great deal of prejudice against Jews manifested itself in both the Union and Confederate armies, and many Jews sought low visibility. . Henry Moses Judah, a West • Point graduate and a Mexican War hero, was already a brigadier in the early part of the Civil War. Despite his good' Jewish name, Judah was only

remotely of Jewish ancestry. His father was an Episcopal clergyman." His grandfather, though circumcised, had lived as a Christian. His great grandfather, Michael Judah, of N o r w a l k , Connecticut, had married a Gentile, but lived as an observant Orthodox Jew. P r u s s i a n - b o r n Col. Jones Frankle of Massachusetts was brevetted as a brigadier in September, 1865, after the War was over. Frankle seems to have lived as a Christian, and the same is true of two other "Jewish" generals. Frederick Salomon, whose brother Edward was a .wartime governor of Wisconsin, left the service as a two-star major general of brevet rank. Charles Eberliard Salomon, also of Wisconsin, attained the rank of brigadier. These two generals, both Prussian-born, were very likely related and possibly, of ultimate Jewish origin. . Frederick Kncflcr, a native Hungarian, was always known as a Jew. He was colonel of the 79th Indiana Infantry when he was brevetted as a brigadier general. Edward Selig Salomon, a native of Schlcswig-Holstein, entered the army as a first lieutenant and left H a s a brigadier general. He was only twenty-four years of age and had been only six years in this country when he became an alderman in Chicago. After the War, President U.S. Grant appointed him governor of Washington Territory. Max Einstein, another German immigrant, was already a brigadier general of militia in Pennsylvania in I860, before the start of the conflict, but fought in tho War as the colonel of an infantry regiment. Philip J. Joachimsen, a native Sileslan, was brevetted brigadier general in the New York militia by the governor of his state. Years later he was to become one of the most distinguished Jews in New York City, an outstanding communal leader and founder of Jewish institutions. ' Major Leopold Blumenbcrg of the Maryland volunteers was wounded at the Battle of Antietam and was compelled to retire from active military service. P r e s i d e n t Andrew Johnson, Lincoln's successor, is said to have appointed him POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT
a brevet brigadier general of volunteers. Lieutenant Colonel Leopold Newman, of the 31st New York Infantry, died in a Washington hospital of wounds received in battle. Contemporary tradition has it that before he expired, President Lincoln visited him and promoted him to the rank of brevet brigadier general. These Jews who carved out 'military careers for themselves in the Civil War period were Central European immigrants. In Germany and in Austria the Jew was still a second-class citizen. For these new-comers —r in a martial sense at least—America was indeed the land of unlimited opportunity.

Tel Aviv (JTA)—Nearly 11 months after he was kidnapped by Arab guerrillas in the dead of night from his watchman's post at Metullah, in Upper Galilee, 50-year--old Shmuel Rosenwasser has become an almost forgotten victim of the deadly Middle East struggle. Efforts, so far fruitless, to secure his release were overshadowed by the wave of airline hijackings in September and the subsequent tense negotiations for the release of the nearly 300 passengers and crew members held hostage by terrorists in Jordan. Then Israel released two high ranking Algerian nationals it had detained last August when their British airliner landed at Lydda. Mrs. Ida Rosenwasser said the freeing of the Algerians raised hopes she would soon see her husband. But apparently there was no exchange agreement. Mrs. Rosenwasser spoke to newsmen in her three-room flat at Kiryat Motzkin which the Defense Ministry provided after her husband's abduction. The Rosenwasser family is in a predicament. The Border Police continues to pay her husband's 1L-40 monthly salary, about $69. It is supplement by an I LI50 (about $43) monthly grant from the Metullah City Council. Mrs. Rosenwasser suffers from a heart condition and needs medical treatment. But Mrs. Rosenwasser is worried mostly about her husband. Since he was kidnapped last Jan. 1 she has had only three letters from him and one visit by a Red Cross representative, she says. Although Rosenwasser is a captive of the El Fatah in Jordan, Israel officially holds the Lebanese government responsible because his kidnappers came from Lebanese territory. The government so far has publicly .refused to negotiate with the.guerrillas.

Rabbis: The Loneliest Men in Town! The Jewish Quiz Box
By BEN GALLOB A leading Reform theologian has reported that his "most vivid impression" from a seminar on the contemporary rabbinate wliich he led in New York City last winter was that he and his colleagues were "an incredibly lonely group of men" whose devotion to Judaism had made them "the most alienated of people in this society." The seminar, attended by 12 Reform rabbis, was held at the New York School of the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. The seminar was led by Rabbi Eugene B. Borowitz. professor of education and Jewish religious thought at the seminary. Dr. Borowitz reported that the 12 regular participants in the seminar included rabbis serving metropolitan, semi-urban and suburban congregations, plus one Hillel director. '. He described the group as containing neither "rabbinic stars or failures," a "reasonably well-rounded group of rabbis," who indicated by their participation that they were serious "about study and the rabbinate." Rabbi Borowitz said the alienation of the rabbis stemming from their love for their faith affected their ties to their congregations, their families and their colleagues. "The most ' painful problem in the area of rabbinic service proper" indicated by the participants was "the chasm" between their Jewishness and that of their congregants. This was found to be one of "two areas of great unhappiness" for the rabbis. The other area was the rab• •••••••••••••BBBBHMHfl

QUESTION: Why Is the recitation of the "Shcma" so Important in Jewish tradition? ANSWER: The recitation of the "Shema" constitutes the affirmation of the faith on the part of the individual Jew. Tim unity, the indivisibility and the exclusiveness of the Almighty is part of the parcel of the Hebrew faith. Some explain that when Moses received the word from God which stated that He is the God of Israel, there was doubt in his mind as to whether tlio Israelites understood from this that He was the one and only God, Therefore, it is said that Moses instructed them to this effect by saying "Hear O Israel,.the Lord Our God, the Lord is One." The rabbis in the Midrash actually state that when the Israelites heard the word of God coming from Sinai telling them that Ha was the God who took him out of the land" of Egypt, they responded by saying "Our God is the One and Only God." On hearing this response they were instructed to reaffirm this basic principle of faith every morning and evening, as is our tradition today. "A Gracious Show Place"

In June 1967, readers of this newspaper were filled with awe as they read the unbelievable details of the Six Day War in Israel. Many words were written then about Major General Y i t z h a k Rabin, Chief of the General Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, who directed the military battles of the swiftest, most amazing war the world has ever known. In June 1907, Y i t z h a k Rabin was an acclaimed military hero. In 1970, Israel again faces a crisis in her fight for survival, and Yitzhak Rabin again plays a key role in that fight.

tension Russia and America may themselves move closer together. There is another, a more distant, a nitfre unpredictable common enemy. The advocates of the new policy toward Russia make out a logical and convincing case. So let's say the groom is willing. Now all we have to do is convince the bride.
By Mickey Gerelick ed by a news story can be refuted by critical readers like Mr. Newman who will take the time t o make their v i e w s known. Thomas Jefferson once said that the only thing to do with a lie is to answer it, not repress it. This philosophy is b^sic to the workings of a free press. I'm grateful to Nick for giving me the opportunity to. explain my position on the selection of news stories for the Jewish' Press. Lacking the wisdom of a censor that would enable me to know what people should or should not read, the only criteria I can use in the selection of news items is what I believe will be of interest or relevance to the reader. My judgementmay not always be accurate, but I can live with an error in judgement. Censorship, however, is quite another story. . . . Speaking of censorship, there was one s t o r y that came through'this week that I wish I could bury cause I can see the damaging effect it might have. It seems that a Brandeis University professor, Cyrus H. Gordon, has made public his findings that Jews escaping the Romans landed in the New World some 1,400 years before, Columbus! He said an inscription on a stone found in a burial mound in Tennessee in 1885 or 1886 was composed of five Hebrew letters reading "For Judah." The inscription has been presumed to be Cherokee since 1894, when the Smithsonian Institution published a photograph of the stone —upside down. . ' '. Tiio lettering is "distinctively '*•.-, iJ V Jewish.'' Prof. Gordon said, and "attests to a'migration of Jews, probably to escape the long hand of Rome after the disastrous Jewish defeats at 70 and 135 A.D." Now that's very interesting archeoligical information, but coming to light at this particular time could prove detrimental to the American Jewish community. . For centuries, while America was growing up, prospering and making unique contributions to .civilization, Columbus got all the credit for discovering the New World. Now that our country is engulfed in an era of self-destruction; an era that finds our generations in conflict and our environment polluted, Cglumbus won't get the blame. Now we find it was the Jews who were responsible for the discovery which led to all this misery. What will the anti-Jewish bigot do with that piece of information?
