If the synagogue is to remain a viable institution then it must do something to convert the abstract ideas of Jewish values into concrete social realities. . • There may be other places for Jews to get involved in Social Action, but that does not. relieve the synagogue from the responsibility of providing that outlet for those congregants who prefer to express their social concern through the synagogue. I am hopeful that the Social •Action group at Temple Israel will find the proper direction for their concern, and that their efforts will prove effective. I am hopeful that the other synagogues will consider similar programs. - Most people identify themselves as Jews by. their affiliation with the synagogue. In that light, Jews (and synagogues) can not be silent as long as the Jewish ideals of social justice for all are being violated. It's time for all of us to start asking the right questions.
Yiddish Paper Dies 7 By RABBI SAMUEL M. SILVER When I read that the Yiddish daily, The Day-Morning Journal died, I wept as though I had lost a close friend. One daily Yiddish paper still survives. It is the Forward. . The Day-Journal was an excellent newspaper. It was superior to most of the English papers you read, and its death is another index of the failure of American Jews to take* care of tbelr cultural possessions. The*Yiddish-paper gave its. readers.all the regular news, or should I say the bad news: the wars, the tragedies, the daily agenda of happenings. In addition, the Day-Journal kept its readers posted on what was happening in the Jewish world. The Day-Journal had crack reporters in tnis country, Europe and, of course, Israel. . -. . ~ '. ' Besides, the Day-Journal bad columnists wbo were allowed to express their own views, even if they clashed with those of the management Tbe writers sparkled. Their Ideas were stimok lating. Tbelr writing style was superior to that of. most literati, in our country.. ' " .T h e Day-Journal was the voice of Zionism, the voice of tradlr tional Judaism. Its editorials, even its advertisements and its readers' forum gave those of us who read it a peek into the family life of the American Jew. What a pity that it is all gone because of the refusal of Jews-to support the enterprise.
Abie Nathan on the High Seas ByCARLALPERT New York Waterfront—On February 28, 1972, the Ship of Peace, whose name is emblazoned on its side in large letters in five languages, will lift anchor from the Hudson River arid sail for the JWiddle East. There it will steam up and down the coast, broadcasting music and peace messages 18 hours daily, directed to Israelis and Arabs alike. The mission is the brainchild and creation of Abie Nathan, Israel's air pilot, who achieved considerable notoriety by his several "peace flights" to Egypt a .few years ago. Alpert ' '" During my recent trip to •'.'•" ~ ' New York I visited the ship, inspected its facilities and interviewed Abie, The sturdy vessel, a former Duteh coastal steamer, was purchased with $65,000 which he received in popular contributions from the Dutch people. • Able then brought.the ship to New.York where he hoped that Americans, or at least American Jews, interested in peace for Israeli would provide the additional funds needed to equip it for its mission. He has met Instead with indifference—not hostility he hastens to add, but only with silence. ' ' A large advertisement which he placed in the N.Y. Times brought many contributions, but most of them*in small amounts. The Jewish Establishment and the Jsrael officials ignore him, as do press, radio and television. ; -- How does he expect to bring about'peace? Isn't he naive to believe that he can achieve what the best efforts of diplomats and political .leaders have not been able to bring about? I asked these questions of Able Nathan, the 43-year-old former wealthy, restaurant owner from Tel Aviv, who chucked it'all to embark on hls'mission of peace. , . . He replied simpjy, j5aro.estly,without.bomI^ast;v j'L'm not jiaive." Of course,fte'Israeli.'• ,people wpnt peace, but so do the Arabipeo'ple3.; I've been io Cairo and I know. J vyant to talk1'
to the people, and our broadcasts will reach twenty million of them. It ;s necessary to create a climate for peace in these countries, because the political leaders on both sides are rigid. They have become slaves to fixed views. I want to combat the pessimism which is growing in Israel, and the frustration which has seized the Arab world. "I can not go back to Israel, and so I am in a self-imposed exile in which I shall remain until peace comes. I still need close to $50,000, but even if I don't get that, I shall sail on February 28, the anniversary of my first flight to Egypt (in 1966)." Abie took me about the ship. He has an RCA 50-kilowatt'transmitter, said to be worth $100,000. He has 10,000 phonograph records. There are already two sound-proofed studios which seem to have come straight out of Radio City, two control rooms, and half a dozen editorial and research rooms. He will sail with a crew of 20, all men. Six will be ship operating crew, and the remainder radio people and engineers. He will sail even if he does not have enough money for all ; salaries, and may have to rely on volunteers. ' H e will get along without air-conditioning. • . He believes people would support him lf_ only they would listen, but "the'conspiracy of silence frustrates him.'.What he still requires, he says, Is only 2 per cent of the cost of'a single fighter plane.

lified encouraging aspects about Je,wish youth. Many more "establishment" leaders have set aside confrontation to seek dialogue. Many more youngsters are offered responsibility in Jewish ; councils. Relations betwepn Jews and Christians visibly improved. Perhaps the most striking manifestation was the Dec. meeting in Paris of the first joint group in history representing world Jewry . and the Roman-Catholic Church to improve mutual understanding. Among Protestants, officers of the Council of Churcb.es and individual ministers 'emphasized support for Soviet-Jews and security for Israel.' Hopefully, these efforts will ultimately develop into a broad acceptance of old and new Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Despite Forest Hills, campus bitterness and other forms of distress between Blacks and Jews, some movement- toward accommodation and friendship was indicated during the year.'That Ifoward University's alumni should have selected "Fiddler on the Roof" to raise funds was a minor factor in itself, but it indicated to the 10,000 students at the most prestigious Black .university in America that their adult leaders' human failings and problems beset both peoples.

The heroic upsurge by Soviet Jews themselves leads all other efforts in loosening the Kremlin's restrictions on emigration. Some rabbis referred to their heroism as a miracle. Jews of virtually every politicali persuasion outside the Soviet bureaucracy, have joined in the outcry.

The Soviet Union has .increased its forces in Egypt, displaced the United States as Leba-. non's chief supplier "of weapons, enlarged its Mediterranean fleet and made ostentatious appearances with warships and military chiefs in Arab countries. Against all this is the determination of Israel, and the ceasefire line's. Also on the plus side are the Congressional actions favoring Phantoms and financial support for Israel. ! Nevertheless, in a world of changing alignments, Israel must be prepared to recognize the possibility that after the 1972 Presidential elections, the United States, which has been moving i closer towards something approaching evenhandedness in the Middle East, may-in its. "selfinterest" and for "peace" arrange resumption of diplomatic relations with Egypt and other Arab states and press Israel to agree to terms. . . , The continued growth of the Free Universities on American campuses and student solidarity in many 'countries' with". Russian' Jewry exemp;-<l.ir.l*
lified encouraging aspects about Jewish youth. Many more "establishment" leaders have set aside confrontation to seek dialogue. Many more youngsters are offered responsibility in Jewish councils. , •:•)• Relations between Jews and Christians visibly improved. Perhaps the most striking manifestatlon was the Dec. meeting in Paris of the first joint group in history representing world Jewry and the Roman-Catholic Church to improve mutual understanding. Among Protestants, officers of the Council of Churches and individual ministers emphasized support for Soviet-Jews and se-'. curity for Israel. Hopefully, these efforts will ultimately develop into a broad acceptance of old and new Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Despite Forest Hills, campus bitterness and other forms of distress between Blacks and Jews, • some . movement - toward accommodation and friendship was indicated during the year.' That If dward University's alumni should have selected "Fiddler on the Roof" to raise funds was a '_ minor/factor in itself, but it indicated to the 10,000 students at the most prestigious Black 'University io America that their adult leaders* human failings and problems beset both peoples. Black political leaders appeared at some- Jewish -functions foHhe first time although not nearly in ,, enough numbers of occasions. While no accurate measure is available, the trend seemed to be toward accommodations rather than confrontation.' • , . . >'•

The Jewish Quiz Box QUESTION: Wliy 4s it permissible to violate the Sabbath in order to save a life? „ ;r ; ANSWER: The Talmud is quite definite on this matter indicating that one is permitted to do whatever one.can. da to save a life on the Sabbath. This permissiveness is based on several factors. One is the verse in Exodus which proclaims that the SabbatH is "Holy Unto You." The rabbis indicate that the Sabbath was given for the sake of man and man was not created for the sake'of* Sabbath. Therefore, the'life of iriaff is more important than, the observance of the Sabbath. Also, another verse in Exodus bids the people of Israel to "observe the Sabbath throughout their generation." The rabbis deduce from this Ihat one may violate the Sabbath one time in order to save a life who will observe the'Sabbath-for many years to come and then even have his posterity .observe it. • There is a general rule regarding the fact that one may violate a number of precepts in order to preserve life which is being threatened. This is based upon a verse in Leviticus which states regarding the Commandments, "which if a man do he shall live by them." This means, according to the rabbis, that man is supposed to live by observing the Commandments and not to die by them. Of course, this permission does not apply, to the three Cardinal sins (i.e., adultry, incest, as well as murder). It also does not apply to occasions when decrees have been rrtade by a hostile government in order to destroy Jewish tradition. In such cases one is obligated to become a martyr in order to preserve the time-old'way of Jewish life. '

figures indicate that the rate will increase even more sharply in 1972. Prof. Pollack told the oudl« euce of more than 200 persons that no funds are available at present to meet this increased flow of immigrants. He estimated that as many as 20 to 39 thousand more persons might enter Israel this year than had been predicted. Funds must be raised,to receive, house, educate and train these Immigrants, he emphasized. Such a task will require redoubled efforts on the part of all U.S. Jewish communities. Pollack has visited Russia 14 times and lived there three years: He said the Russian government has been easing off on repression of Jews in recent months. More than 4*000 Jews were allowed to leave the country during December, after Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau expressed his concern about Jews not being allowed to emigrate, he said. He explained that Russians do not want "the Jewish question" toalienate Western powers which the Soviet Union needs as allies against China.
Des Moines—American Jews can help to influence the future of Soviet Jewry, Professor Allen Pollack told the annual meeting of the Jewish Welfare Federation on Thursday, Jan. 6, at Temple B'nai Jeshurun. ; Jewish communities in the United States should put pressure on U.S. national leaders, especially Richard Nixon, to insure that the Soviet Jewish question is on his agenda when he visits Russia, Prof. Pollack said. "If the President raises the question.o£ Soviet Jewry and expresses his concern, it could be ' very influential," Pollack said. He urged Iowans to write •their congressmen and the President asking that the U.S. make clear its concern for Russia's 3.5 million Jews. Prof. Pollack, a Soviet ex.i pert' from Yeshiva University ,-in New York City, said that .immigration to Israel from •, Russia has increased substantially in the past two months. Jews bad been,coming to Israel from Russia at the rate of 100 per day. In Decembef that .figure rose to 150 per day. New

Israel Tour Cancelled
Minister Resigns
Jews in Hong Kong
Bonn (JTA)—The prestigious Hamburg City Opera company announced that it had cancelled its projected Israeli tour next, summer for financial reasons. Political circles hinted, • however, that the true reason was fear of a repetition of the violent anti-German demonstrations that occurred in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem during the celebration of German Culture Week in Israel last November. The Hamburg Opera was due to perform during the Israeli Summer Festival of 1972. Festival sources are said to believe there is a possibility the Hamburg Opera will tour Israel In 1974.
Toronto (JTA)—A United1 Church clergyman, here has resigned his ministry in protest over what he termed the indifference of some of its leading members to anti-Semitism. The Rev. Donald It. Keating, 46, charged in his letter of resignation that the church leadership is guilty of silence on issues affecting Jews, and that it has failed to deal with the • pro-Arab policy promulgated by the church periodical, the United Church Observer. Keating followed up his letter of resignation, which he sent to his presbytery, with an open letter to the church's Moderator, the Right Rev. A. B. Moore, and to leaders of other Christian denominations. He has been an ordained minister for 20 years.

New Books in the J.C.C. Library EINSTEIN-THE LIFE AND TIMES Albert Einstein was far more than the physicist who confi- • dently claimed that space and time were not what they seemed to be. Middle age saw the man who described himself as "pas tres Juif" blossoming out as a standard-bearer for Zionism. Ronald W. Clark has drawn an extraordinarily moving portrait of a man who was one of the great tragic figures of our time. Mr. Clark has drawn an immense amount of new material. But he has never lost sight of the man who was one of the greatest contradictions of our times: the German who hated the Germans; the pacifist who changed his mind; the ambivalent Zionist who was asked to head the Israeli state; the physicist who believed in God.
