Friday, March B, 1971
Brus&els Conference Ousts Kahane BRUSSELS (JTA)—The first world conference for Soviet Jewry this week, a tumultuous event from start to finish, ended with an appeal to world opinion to support efforts to persuade the Soviet Union to allow emigration for Jews who wished to do so for an opportunity for a full cultural and religious life for those who choose to remain. The 800 delegates from some 50 countries adopted a declaration affirming their solidarity ''with our Jewish brothers in the Soviet Union" and pledged continuing support to them. While the resolution was adopted without debate, the fraternal mood in which the conference opened remained shaky in the aftermath of the appearance of Rabbi Meir Kahane, founder of the Jewish Defense League, the conference refusal to admit him and his subse-' quent detention and expulsion from Belgium. Kabane Episode While conference spokesmen and many delegation leaders hailed the gathering as a "memorial historic experience" that would go far toward aiding Soviet Jews, the Kahane episode left a residue of bitterness among Kahane's ardent, supporters and among many delegates who reject the JDL's tactics but feel the conference erred in barring its leader from speaking. On the other hand, many delegates felt the action of the conference presidium was fully justified on the grounds that Kahane came to Brussels as a "spoiler." Many delegates relented a speech by Menachem Beigin, leader of the Herut faction of Israel's Gahal opposition
party, who declared that the "time was passed when Jews denounced other Jews." Beigin said later, "I don't know why this uproar. I did not agree with the way the Kahane incident was handled and it was my good right to say so." Support for Kahane's right to speak, though not for his tactics was expressed by several delegates. Among them were the American playwright Paddy Chayefsky, and producerdirector Otto Preminger. Preminger created a stir when he told the conference that its treatment of Kahane was "just as contemptible and wrong as what the Nazis and the Soviet Communists have done." Preminger was applauded from some parts of the hall but his analogy drew a storm of protest from most delegates. Preminger said he apologized because he didn't want to give the Russians the satisfaction of seeing Jews at loggerheads, but he added that the conference owed an apology to Kahane. Chayefsky supported Kahane's plea for more action and fewer words. "We should put together something more than a cry of pain and'an appeal to the conscience of the world Which never has worked very well," he said. • The delegates put aside their differences when the closing session of the conference was addressed by Israel's former Premier David Ben Gurion. The 83-year-old elder statesman had been confined to bed with bronchitis' and was unable to attend the earlier sessions. He received an ovation that lasted several min-
ment" to expel him, and that a top Belgian official had disclosed to him that his government had been requested to classify him as an "undesirable." He told newsmen that he knew the names of those Jews who had urged the action, but declined to name them. Rabbi Kahane said he had sought to present to the conference a 10-point program of action for Soviet Jewry which, he said, "calls for non-violent civil disobedience during the little time Soviet Jews have left." Asked by newsmen to elaborate on this pessimistic note, Rabbi Kahane asserted that the Kremlin "might change hands" within the' next year or two, and that he felt the new regime would be emphatically more anti-Semitic
The opening session also heard from Maj. Grischa Feigin, a former Soviet Air Force officer, Vitaly Svechinsky, a scientist and Dr. Mendel Gordin, a biochemist, all recent arrivals in Israel from Russia. They presented no first hand accounts of Jewish life in the USSR but gave ardent testimonials to Jewish self-assertiveness in that country. Feigin said the Soviet region was bound to pay heed to world public opinion. He said the solidarity of world Jewry with Russian Jews "is very vital to them. They are now awakening and they draw comfort and power from this solidarity." Svechinsky said "It is too late to suppress Soviet Jews. They have asserted themselves and will fight for the right to be Jewish to the last Jew. If only one remains, he will strive to reach Israel."
TURIM SPECIAL"!
Kahane Assails Action At Brussels Conference New York, (JTA) - Rabbi , Meir Kahane, chairman of the Jewish Defense League, this week predicted that the world conference on Soviet Jewry, from , which he was ousted, would achieve nothing concrete, end only "with platitudes," and assailed those people who "argue for dissent in the Soviet Union, but won't tolerate dissent among'their own people." Arriving.at Kennedy Airport from London, the JDL leader told newsmen that the Jewish leaders presiding at the conference had committeed an act of ;:disgracevby turning over a Jew. to the Belgian authorities. Rabbi Kahane also charged that it was the Jewish leadership in Brussels which ,had~ "pressured the govern-
utes. Speaking in Hebrew, he said, "This conference bears witness to the devotion of the Jewish people to Russian Jews." At the opening session, Arthur J. Goldberg, former Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, delivered the keynote address. He said, "We feel a common and united bond with the Jews of Israel and with the Jews of the Soviet' Union, and we believe that these attachments and loyalties are completely compatible with our deep attachments and loyalties to our respective countries." Goldberg continued: "We meet here today not to malign the Soviet Union but rather in sorrow and concern to speak the truth about the repression of Soviet Jews."

and employ "physical abuse" against the Jews. He added that the program would be initiated with a mass rally March 21 in Washington. ' He maintained that hundreds of conference delegates had wanted to "hear his side. All the major Jewish organizations have refused to sit down and talk with us. This is not democratic nor was there democracy in Belgium."

Israeli Lenders Disfyrbed by Nixon Middle East Statement Jerusalem (JTA) — Government circles made no attempt to conceal their disappointment with President Nixon's statement on the Middle East in his [ second annual foreign policy I message to Congress last week. The disturbing aspects were his reiterated backing of the Rogers Plan calling for no substantial changes from Israel's preJune, 1967 boundaries and the stress he placed on a solution of the Palestine refugee problem. On the positive side, from Israel's point of view was Nix. on's firm statement that peace ^ a n be achieved only by agreement between the parties to the conflict and his rejection of a settlement imposed by, the Big Powers. Israel also regarded as favorable Nixon's assertion that --while the Big Powers were prepared to guarantee a peace set-
tlement, they would not intrude until such a s e t t l e m e n t is achieved. Nixon, in his address to Congress, reiterated that the Middle East continues to be the "most dangerous" trouble spot in the world. Conflicting a s s e s sments of 1 the Nixon speech and future relations with the United States emerged in Israel. Deputy Premier Yigal Alton intimated in a radio interview that the government does not feel that Israel has been "let down" by the U.S. But Foreign Ministry circles took the view that Nixon has abandoned his policy of all-out support of I s r a e l which he adopted six months ago, while the late Egyptian President Nasser was alive. The circles said that Nixon is anxious to improve American relations with Cairo and believes this to be possible under

the Sadat regime even If there is no chance of ousting Soviet influence. Allon agreed that the U.S. wants to "get its foot in the door" of Cairo but argued that this was possible only with a strong Israel. This, being the case, he said, it was still possible to persuade Nixon to abandon the Rogers Plan. Foreign Ministry circles said however that Nixon's speech indicated that he stands squarely behind the Rogers Plan, even knowing that the Israel government rejects it categorically. They ,said that fat the negotiations which preceded resumption of the Jarring talks in January, the U.S. promised not to raise the Rogers Plan on its own initiative. But by reiterating his insistence on an Israeli withdrawal with only "insubstantial" changes from the old "boundaries, Nixon has in fact re-introduced the Rogers Plan. Eban reportedly said privately that American pressure on Israel can be expected soon. He said what the U.S. wanted at this stage was not a concession by Israel but a map. Secretary Rogers was said to have told Israeli Ambassador Yitzhak Rabin in Washington that an appropriate countermove by Israel to Egypt's explicit offer to make peace would be a map stating Israel's minimum territorial claims. Israel appears determined to resist this. Government sources conceded that several committees are working on the " b o r d e r question" but insisted that no maps have been drafted. However, observers here said it was not certain how long Israel could hold out a g a i n s t Washington's demands for specific boundary proposals to Egypt. Government sources said Israel was not opposed to a solution of the Palestine refugee problem but was perturbed by Nixon's' stress oh it in his foreign policy message and feared that ,tnq (Arab poncept of;a solu,tJon.mJB!it{somehow,filter into1 itfa'oiU.Si approach, ' >H
Stevenson Assails Imposed Peace1 MIAMI (JTA)-A call on the U.S. to remain "the great ally of Israel" was made here by Senator Adlai E. Stevenson HI of Illinois as he accepted an award from The Jewish Theological Seminary of America. "Far more is at stake in Israel than the future of one nation or America's pride," Stevenson said. "The honor of a generation is at stake." Asserting t h a t while "we need urgently a just and enduring settlement in the Middle E a s t , " Stevenson cautioned against an "imposed" peace. "Such a settlement can only be negotiated by the parties to it," he declared. "No durable settlement can be imposed on Israel or, for that matter, on the Arab states." He said, however, that "the t e r m s for peace must require Arab recognition of the sovereignty and territorial sanctity of agreed boundaries for the State of Israel."

Israelis reported spotting an Egyptian observation balloon at an altitude of about 600 feet in the Port Said area last Wednesday. The consensus of opinion here and abroad is that Egypt does not wish to resume fighting when the current ceasefire expires and is seeking a face-saving device to keep, the . truce going after March 7. Some reports said the Sadat government is satisfied that the Jarring talks are'making sufficient progress to allow it to agree to some sort of ppenended cease-fire extension.

1,000 Nigerians Prepare for Conversion to Judaism New York (JTA) — A Conservative rabbi revealed that he had been in correspondence with leaders of some 1,000 Ni> gerians who considered themselves Jews and who had in>J formed him that they were pre* ' pared to undergo conversion to i a s s u r e their acceptance as s Jews. '' The report was made by Rabbi Lester Hering, spiritual leader of Congregation Beth Jacob, ©f Merchantville, N.J., at a meeting of Hatzaad Harishon, ^ an organization seeking to aid black Jews. Rabbi Hering told the meeting that his discovery of the Nigerian would-be Jews started with a letter he received in 1967, from one of the leaders of the group, reporting they bad discovered Judaism • on their own and that they wanted help and recognition as Jews. Rabbi Hering said that the N i g e r i a n leaders had 1 learned about the existence of a worldwide Jewish community •from a Christian missionary who happened to be carrying a Camden County (N.J.) yellowpage telephone directory. One of the Nigerians, Identified by Rabbi Hering as Jacob, looked . through the directory and found Beth Jacob Congregation. Rab, ; •• j
bi Hering said he suspected that the Nigerian chose his congregation because of the similarity between" its name and his. Rabbi Hering said that the Nigerians had no Jewish background and that the three original founders were Christians who had d e c i d e d to reject' Christianity. Rabbi Hering said that the group has "five or six" synagogues and that the members were missionizing in the southern section of Nigeria. He reported they call their houses of worship s y n a g o g u e s , although the structures have none of the usual components of a Jewish house of worship. Rabbi Hering reported also that the Nigerians have only the Jewish materials he had sent them—some prayerbooks and Jewish history textbooks. He added that he wrote to them in English, since they do not know Hebrew, and that they replied in an "understandable" pidgin-English. He also report'cd that the Nigerians had called their leaders "rabbis" until he suggested, in one of his letters, that the term was limited to individuals who had taken specific training. Accordingly, he reported, the'Nigerians started
calling their leaders teachers. Asked by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency for his views on their status as Jews, Rabbi Hering said that, in terms t>f Jewish Religious Law, they could not be considered Jews," but that they were "sincere" in ' their desire to do whatever was necessary for that status including conversion under/ acceptable Halachic direction. He said they observed such rituals as they know about and can observe, including rest on Sabbath and the Holy Days. On that b a s i s , he said, he felt American Jews should assist the Nigerians by p r o v i d i n g them with necessary ritual materials, educational aid, and similar help. He said he thought some American Jews should _ visit Nigeria for a direct contact and observation of the Nigerians and their needs.

BRHENECASS1N Next Wednesday evening Is Purim, and once again, we'll hear the story of Esther read from the Megillali. Purim is not a major holiday on the Jewish calendar, but it's interesting to note how Jews observe this holiday which recalls the first serious anti-Semitic event in history. . Instead of observing the day in seriousness, contemplating the possible consequences of what might have been if Hainan had his way, we treat the . whole event' as a big joke, and celebrate with a'gay abandon. This kind of observance gives some insight into the Jewish mind. Some say it is our ability to accept life with a sense of humor that has helped us survive. I believe it's true. J t is the mystique of the Jewish spirit which affirms that life is good. It is an indestructible optimism that has kept Jews alive and enabled us to accomplish the impossible. , In the collective lives of the Jewish people, and in countless episodes of individual, Jews, one sees the unique Jewish spirit that says, "It can be done, don't dispair."
fus trial in France and pitied the lot of the Jew. Another man, a Jew named Theodor Herzl, gained the inspiration there to found modern Zionism "One woman was cynical about the bitter struggles of American immigrants. Another woman, a Jew named Emma Lazarus, saw America as a haven, for the down-trodden and wrote the immortal lines that arc engraved on the base of Statue of Liberty." ' '•

•
And until this day, it hasn't changed. Jews continue to do the impossible, simply because the "Jewish spirit" will not permit them to give up. We see it in the survival of the'Jewish people in spite of the holacaust of Nazi Europe. We see it in the creation of the State of Israel and in the miracle of the Six Day War. Today Israel is in grave danger, and the plight of three million Jews in Russia^ w e i g h heavily on the conscience of all of us. Once again, our people are in danger, and we do what we must. • In Omaha, the job at the moment is to raise the impossible goal of $2 million in the Philanthropies campaign. • Impossible? Not when compared to the impossibles already accomplished by the Jewish people. That's why so many of us will be attending the worker's dinner tomorrow night. We still believe the impossible can be done. Happy Purim!

AEROBICS Stationary running is harder on the feet and ankles than normal running, particularly when it is done in bare feet. Without the support provided by the heels of the shoe, you become a prime candidate for tendonitis and other ankle problems. So keep your shoes on for indoor running. The so called "joggers heel" also occurs occasionally in adult runners. The symptom is a very sore heel caused by landing hard on the heel while running on a concrete or solid surface. To avoid this problem: 1) run flatfooted, touching down with more of the entire sole; 2) avoid running on hard surfaces; and 3) use a cushion soled shoe. A more troublesome, but fortunately rare complication is the stress or, arch fracture of the foot. This happens mostly to older people, whose bones are more brittle. But it may occur at any age. The sign of a stress or march fracture is a sharp and persistent pain in the foot. It is not a serious matter and with immobilization it usually heals within weeks. ' Anytime you develop a problem with your feet and ankles, the best immediate treatment is to reduce the speed and duration Of your exercise.
