The r a b b i n i c body urged President Nixon "immediately to c o n v e y our own government's shock at these trials and to launch a full debate on the question at the United Nations." The Reform rabbis also pledged with "people of all persuasions to join in a vocal outcry a g a i n s t these dreaded actions of the Soviet Union." Copies of the resolution were sent to Nixon, Secretary of State W i l l i a m P. Rogers, Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin and UN Secretary General U Thant.

Washington Jews Hold Silent Vigil Washington (JTA)—A group of about 20 Jews have prayed and maintained a silent vigil outside of the Soviet Embassy here for the past week. Assording to Ernest Shalowitz, president of the Brandeis District of the Zionist Organization of America, the participants were prepared to conduct the daily vigil until the Leningrad trial is concluded. About 50 Jews picketed the Embassy area Dec. 16 but were prevented from coming close to the building by a District of Columbia ordinance that forbids picketing within 500 feet of a foreign legation.

Ringing RabM' to Appear in Omaha Omaha — Shlomo Carlebach, the famous "Singing Rabbi" will give a performance for all members of the Jewish Community and their families Wednesday, December 30, at Beth Israel Synagogue at 7:30 P.M. The program is sponsored by the Jewish Cultural Committee.

Educators Blamed For 'Restless Youth' Washington (JTA)—A charge that "the restlessness of America's youth" can be. traced to the fact that the nation's public schools "are not religiously neutral but teach a new, religion of secular humanism" was leveled at the White House Conference on Children by Rabbi Moshe Shere, executive president of Agudath Israel of America. The Orthodox leader, a delegate to the parley, urged the conferees to "pin the guilt where it belongs: on the modern educators who consider it a sign of their modernity to demonstrate to their pupils that they have.-broken all links with eternity."

Slilomo Carlebach is an artist of world-wide fame. He is a-Rabbi, a singer, a guitarist, a Hasid and has even been called a "hippy". The Palo Alto Times said "Carlebach is billed as a singer of Hasidic songs, but his performances take on the character of a f e r v e n t religious celebration whose participants are hippies and straights, Jews and Gentiles, young and old." Carlebach has a particular appeal'for young people. In San Francisco he has established the "House.of Love and Prayer and was recently pictured in Life magazine performing a wedding in Golden Gate Park. Steven Riekes, Chairman of the Jewish Cultural Committee urges all to attend and to bring their families with them. "We are looking forward to mass participation by our youth In this special program," he said. The program is open to the public, without charge. Refreshments will be served by the Sisterhood of Beth Israel Synagogue following the program.

National Lawyers'Committee Would Defraud Soviet Jews New York, (JTA)—-Leaders of the American Jewish Conference on Soviet Jewry, at a meeting this week with officials of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, decided this week to go ahead with plans for a national lawyer's committee which w o u l d attempt to represent Soviet Jews facing, trial. R a b b i Herschel Schactcr, chairman of the American Jewish Conference, said the lawyers would seek to appear In the Soviet court. Conceding that t h e r e was not much chance of success in that effort, Rabbi Schacter added that the lawyers could gain publicity for the plight of Soviet Jews through . press conferences. He said his group, with its "limited, almost non-existent staff" aided by personnel. f r o m constituted organizations had set a budget of $100,000, which he was "quite confident" of raising. The heads of 27 major American Jewish organizations have written to Soviet President Ni-

They urged him to release the more than 30 prisoners, who have been held incommunicado since an alleged Jewish hijacking of an Israel-bound plane at the Leningrad airport June 15, and to "halt growing acts of antiSemitism." Rabbi Schacter spoke for the 27 organizations in stating that the arrests and the beating of 16-year-old Monus Mafpzer of Riga, brother of an arrestee, "buttress our fears regarding the imminent show trials."

The Liffge Cruse of Oil : The late Rabbi Samuel Adelman of Denver, Colo., wrote the following Chanukah message in 1953. We believe it is just as timely for Chanukah, 1970. •

Chanukah? A little cruse of oil which was supposed (o burn for one day and it burned for eight? Miracles? I can almost hear our modern practical men say, "Do you really 'believe jt? Do you, an intelligent person believe that it is possible for such a thing to happen?" It may sound strange, but I do believe it. I believe it as I believe in the ultimate victory of truth over falsehood, of decency over corruption. , The little cruse of oil? What difference is there between a little cruse of oil and a mere handful of patriots who dared to say, "We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal?" There was as much hope for that frost-bitten little group of men at Valley Forge as there was for that little cruse of oil. And yet the little cruse of oil showedjhe brilliance of the might of the Creco-Syrian legions. The little cruse of oil gave us our .independence in 1776. The little cruse of oil in Israel illustrated the strength of seven Arab nations in 1948. The litUe cruse of oil which for eight days was a miracle! Without that miracle we would all be in darkness today. • •Believe in it! Believe in it! It is the only hope that mankind has.

uix BOM By RABBI DR. SAMUEL J. FOX " l QUESTION: Why Joes Jewish (rad'iUon prohibit making use of the Chanukah candles when they are lit? ANSWER: This restriction would distinguish the Chanukah candles from ordinary candles. This is especially important because, unlike ordinary candles which are lit; to offer light that we can use, Chanukah candles are lit expressly for the observance of a Holy commandment" to commemorate the miracle of old and to bring this miracle to the attention of all. : *

QUESTION': Why is It a custom for Jewish women to refrain from doing any work in the house while the candles arc still burnIng? . _ ; _;_.v ,;,..:;._..I.,;J;:...L. :..., ANSWER: The holiday in general assumes distinction either by special prayers or the prohibition from work. This distinction must be witnessed by both men and womeri. The men observe the distinction of the Chanukah Festival by reciting the Hallel Psalms In the course of the worship service every morning of Chanukah in the synagogue. Since women are excused from the formal aspect of prayer, their ,mode of distinction is thus exercised by -refraining from doing any household work during the tiriie when' the Chanukah lights are burning. This abstention serves to impress the family that there is a holiday atmosphere prevalent in the home.-

AEPi fraternity sponsored Rabbi Carlebach's appearance in Tucson last year, and every Jew in Tucson and at the University enjoyed him immensely. The "bearded Rabbi" travels throughout the world with his guitar, hassidic talcs and is an inspiration to all who hear him. In between his travels, he runs the "House of Love and Prayer" in San Francisco. This is a Jewish communal which has helped turn many young Jews off drugs, and turn them on to Judaism. The rabbi has recorded many albums. His music and wisdom have reached many hearts, including mine. I do hope that the whole Jewish community in Omaha attends Rabbi Carlebach's performance. It won't be a dressy, formal "sit-down-and-listen-toa-speech" kind of thing. Come dressed casually, ready to witness Judaism presented f r o m an uniquely different perspective.

A national survey of entering college freshmen conducted by the American Council on Education indicated that Jewish teenagers are much more -committed to social changes and much more active about them than are teenagers of ether religious groups. The Jewish 18-year-olds also were reported to be much more concerned about restrictions on personal autonomy than were their non-Jewish peers. Leaning to Left The Jewish students were evaluated as more to the left on the political spectrum. Forty-five percent of the Jewish freshmen c a l l e d themselves "liberal," compared with 28.6 percent of the non-Jewish freshmen accepting that description. A, Ihird of the Jewish students called themselves "middle of the road" compared to 45 percent of non-Jewish students. Twice as many non-Jewish students as Jewish ones labeled themselves "moderately conservative" or "strongly conservative." Nearly nine percent of the Jewish students called themselves "left" compared to less than three per. cent of the others. The Jewish students more strongly favored than did their non-Jewish classmates that the federal government should control cigaret advertising; eliminate violence from television; provide tax incentives to control the birthrate; protect consumers; provide compensatory education for the poor, desegrate schools; end poverty and control firearms. Nearly 60 percent of the Jewish students—compared wilh 24 percent of the non-Jews—favored legalization of marijuana. Almost 60 percent of the Jews and 36 percent of the non-Jews favored liberalized d i v o r c e laws. Almost 90 percent of the Jewish students and nearly 75% of the non-Jews supported legal abortions. Almost 27 percent of the Jewish students, compared with about ten percent of the nonJews, reported they had protested racial injustice. One in five of the Jewish students had protested American military policy, compared with about six percent of their non-Jewish contemporaries. . . • Almost 40 percent of the Jews, and 22 percent of the HELEN A.

About 30 percent of the Jewish teenagers took part in political campaigns, compared with about 16 per cent of non-Jewish youth.

issue, almost half of the nonJewish students were in favor but only 31 percent of the Jewish freshmen. Only 11 percent of the Jewish students favored college control of off-campus students but 20 percent of the non-Jews supported that idea. Jewish students were more inclined to argue with teachers in their classrooms—76 percent — than were non-Jewish students—53.3 percent.

By BEN GALLOB : Formation of a second multiracial organization to aid Black Jews and charges by its Black president against the first one have focussed attention on a question which has troubled many white Jews: How valid— from the standpoint of Jewish Religious Law—are the claims to Jewishness by the substantial number of A m e r i c a n blacks identifying themselves as Jews? The Second group, Taharas Israel (Purity of Israel) is under the rabbinical guidance of Rabbi David Hollander of New York, a leading Orthodox rabbi. The first, formed in 1954, is Haatzad, Harishon." which means "the first step." Robert C o l e m a n of New York, who converted to Judaism five years ago, after being "a leader in a Baptist church" - for most of his life, and who is president of Taharas Israel, has charged that "there is not -one-genuine Black synagogue or rabbi" in the United States. Writing in the November issue of The Jewish Observer, Mr. Coleman asserted that there were "some Black Jews" who were "true converts to Judaism," through having undergone conversion in accordance with Halachah, Jewish Religious Law. :

Mr. Coleman's basic position ; was challenged by Rabbi Wolfe Kelman, executive vice-president M the Rabbinical Assembly, the association of American Conservative rabbis, who is a member of the board of

Haatzad Harishon. He s a i d that, in respect to a Black Jew, "there is no-need to assume there is any question of his Jewishness. If he says he is Jewish, it should be accepted, unless evidence contrary to his claim is presented." Rabbi Kelman also said that the Jewish people was not "a lily-white group" and that persons "of all races and colors" were welcome to the Jewish fold. "Halachah is not white or black or brown or olive," he said. "There is no Halachah that applies to black or white people only." He also declared that to contend that "a Ualachic question applies to black Jews only and not to whtie Jews is being racist." He said that there were some Black Jews "whose Jewishness may be questioned" but that he was "not prepared to say there is a question on every Black Jew, simply because he is Black. Mr. Coleman noted that there had been many articles and books on the subject of Black Jews but that, so far, none had dealt "with the crucial question of whether or not there is any v a l i d i t y to these people's claims to being Jewish." He contended that m o s t members of the "amorphous group" of American Blacks calling themselves Jews had "no legitimate claim to Jewishness whatever." He said that his attempts to investigate the claims of many groups of Black Jews resulted "in d e e p antagonism, both on the part of

Unsolved Problems Noted in Jewish-Ccafholic Relations Houston (JTA) — J e w i s h Catholic relations have improved during the' five years since Vatican Council II but can stand considerably more improvement, a c c o r d i n g to Philip E. Hoffman, president of the American Jewish Committee. . Mr. Hoffman n o t e d inadequate Catholic teachings of the validity and relevance of Judaism but also blamed inadequate Jewish understanding of Christianity. He said there was inadequate treatment of each religion in the other's textbooks. He found that there has been progress in the United States, Western, Europe and Latin America but that there is still an absence of understanding by Catholics of Israel's meaning for Jews and Judaism. He said there has been no systematic effort to expunge prejudicial material from Catholic and other textbooks and publications. Mr. Hoffman scorced the New Left. He called it a " g I o b a 1 phenomenon" which posed a "serious danger" by its use of anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism "interchangeably." He s a i d that a further menace was that the New Left "freed the radical right" from its "inhibitions." Mr. Hoffman criticized New Leftists for t h e i r "selective

As of this and their dreams on a firm loyalty to the State of Israel. The Druzcs are a Middle East people who follow a religion established as an offshoot of Mohammedanism in lhe 9th century. There are about 350,000 Druzes in the Middle East, more than half of them in Syria. About 100,000 live in the Lebanon. Israel has about 33,000, who live in 17 villages, all in the north. The latter figure compares with some 14,500 here at the time of the creation of the State of Israel. Long humiliated and subjugated by (lie Moslem Arabs, the Druzes supported Israel in ita struggle for independence. Druzei serve in the Israel army. The growth in their population is a reflection of their vastly improved economic, cultural and social conditions in the past two decades. Yet they are impatient They are not moving forward fast enough. Muhammcd Ramal, an earnest and intense young Druze from the Galilee village of Yarka, tells me that the answer is to be found in education. Some 500 Druzes attend high school in Israel, but most of them go to Arab schools where the attitude towards Uiem is not always friendly. They have no high schools of their own. Furthermore there are only about 100 Druzes studying at university level. One of tho emerging young leaders of the. community, Kemal Mansour, whom many American Jews will remember from his several lecture tours in the United States, was recently named by President Shazar as his adviser on minority affairs. We visit with him frequently in his home in Usifiah, located on the highest peak of the Carmel range. Kemal confirms the need for better educational facilities, but adds another element There must be a diversification in the economy of the Druze village he says. Technical skills must be developed, and more'modern industry must be developed—as in the kibbutzim. He points out that there are about 130,000 Druzes in the United States. They would be willing to invest in industrial enterprises among the'Druzes if given, the same kind of economic inducements whiijh are offered to Jews to invest in so-called Development Areas.

past September they are now handled by the usual Government offices, like Jews. Progress is being made. In 1948 there were only 6 Druse teachers. Today there are 160 —but a need for twice as many. From Rothschild sources has come a fund to provide university scholarships for Druze exsoldiers. A joint Druze-Jewish committee has been set up to encourage higher education in the Druze community. And best of all, the Israel Education Fund of ihe United Jewish Appeal will build a Druze High School in the Western Galilee, lhe first time that ILJA. funds have been used for such a purpose.
