Moscow Summit May Include Talk on Issue of Soviet Jewry By JOSEPH POLAKOFF Salzburg (JTA)—Dr. Henry Kissinger said today (hat President Nixon will look for an opportunity to present the Soviet Jewry issue at the suramct conference with Soviet leaders in Moscow this week. Nixon's assistant for national security affairs was asked at a news conference whether he could indicate what the President will do at the conference with relation to the more than a million petitions on the plight of Soviet Jewry that have been sent to the White House. The President, Dr. Kissinger responded, is very much aware -of the petitions and will look for an opportunity to bring the subject to the attention of those with whom he is to meet. After the news conference, the Jewish Telegraphic A g e n c y asked how the. Middle East situation fits into the. pattern of the summit discussions.

backed Israel's protests against the repeated violations. Reiterating President Nixon's views that he seeks substance and not atmosphere in Moscow, Dr. Kissinger seemed to indicate that the American Chief Executive is moving to build confidence between the superpowers which would enable them to reach agreement in the future. The mutual confidence growing out of agreement on one issue would lead to agreement on another, he said. This. seemed to indicate that such issues as the Middle East would have to wait on agreements on other matters between the two great powers.
make it a major element in the Moscow talks. Dr. Kissinger at the'news conference said heightened tensions that arose in the summer of 1970 over the Middle East, Cuba and Berlin caused a suspension in the attempts between the superpowers for a summit meeting. This was his only reference to the Middle East conflict.

Soviet Jews Arrested to Ensure Their Silence New York (JTA)-At least, eight Jewish activist leaders were arrested in Moscow and sentenced to ten-day jail terms for "anti-social activities," the National Conference on Soviet Jewry reported. The Conference said its sources in Moscow linked the arrests to a petition to President Nixon which was signed by 300 Soviet Jews and presented last Friday to the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. All six were signers of the petition and one of them, Roman Rutman, claimed that he was one of the organizers of the petition campaign. • The 300 signatories of the petition were from Moscow, Kiev, Riga, Kovno, and eight other Russian cities. They appealed to the President to intervene with Soviet leaders on behalf of Jewish emigration to Israel during the M o s c o w summit talks. Sources in the Soviet Union say the arrests were made to keep Jewish activist leaders "out of circulation" during Nixon's visit. Twenty-three m o r e Soviet -Jewish activists—20 in Wilna and three in Kharkov—have been warned by the authorities not to go to Moscow during President Nixon's stay, t h e

Samaritans- The World's Smallest Sect By CARL ALPERT Shechem—"I was Bar Mitzvah when I was nine years old", Yakir Cohen toid me. "And I was Bar Mitzvah when I was ten", said his cousin, Amram, now a handsome lad of 19. Amram is the grandson of the high priest of the Samaritans. The two boys, speaking a fluent Hebrew and an adequate English, were only too happy to converse with the • curious'visitor. Several thousand v i s i t o r s flocked to this large, West BankArab city not long ago to witAlpert ness the exotic Samaritan celebration of tbelr Passover and the ancient rites of the sacrifice of the Paschal lamb. -The event has become a big show, conducted under television lights and before the cameras of (be onlookers. . Of more interest to me was, the Samaritan community itself—its people and their ways of life. Their native language is Arabic, but through the younger generation I found the language barrier broken. , A basic principle of the Samaritan faith is (their insistence that Shechem, known in Arabic and English as Nablus, is the holy city of the -Jews, rather than Jerusalem. It was here, they say, that Abraham was prepared to sacrifice his son on the Biblical Mount of Moriah. It was here that the first holy Temple was built, already in the days of Joshua. The actual site, high up on Shecbem's Mount Grizim, is owned by the Samaritan community, and is fenced around. It is certainly an impressive location. Here history springs suddenly to life in the presence of these young men who carry on an ancient tradition. The Samaritans live by the five books of Moses, and attach no sanctity to any of the Biblical books that follow, including the prophets. Later holidays, like Hanukan and Purlin, are unknown to them,' and the first new holiday which
they have accepted in their calendar is Israel In. dependence Day. As for Bar Mitzvah, it is conducted not at a fixed age, but when the boy is able to read the Torah, pray and understand the significance of his reading. The stalk drama of the Samaritan community is in its dwindling numbers. For the past hundred years or more they have numbered no more than 200 souls; intermarrying with each other. Today they are five large families, or clans, 410 persons in all, of whom 240 live in Shechem and 170 in Holon, near Tel Aviv. Improved economic conditions have reduced the mortality rate in their large families. Amram told me he already has a girl friend—in one of the other four families. The Samaritans own no agricultural land and none of them are farmers. Some are teachers, government clerks, shop owners. Amram's father has a store for antiquities. Tbe Samaritans observe kasbruth very strictly. A rabbit's foot key ring, which we gave to Amram, was quickly handed back with trembling fingers, when he identified it. It was impure. The Samaritans also respect the Sabbath, with complete cessation of work, travel, etc. The Jews arc looked upon as members of the family who have strayed from the path, but only the ' Samaritans are deemed to be the true descendants of the original children of Israel whom Moses led out of Egypt. Since the Six-Day War and their "rediscovery" by Israel, their conditions have improved greatly, although they had managed to establish a modus Vivendi under Jordan rule'and had many friends among the Arabs. King Hussein had sometimes gone out of his way to protect them. Their youth are seeking ah education. The community is.happy to have visitors, and is groping toward what might be called a better public relations program. This/the smallest and one of the.oldest sects in the world, is struggling to maintain its existence.

Ari iiow is president. Mr. Arnow: •: is also president of the Jewish i Telegraphic Agency and a leading figure in numerous national Jewish organizations. A sample studjrby the .AAJE, based on answers from 25 per cent of • the 3,025 Jewish schools—2,893 in the U.S. and 132 in Canada— • reveals what appears to be the : first relatively meaningful pic\ ture on tuition fee data. Tuition fees vary consider- ably in all types of schools. They range in congregational schools—for members—from $5 ' to $105 in the primary grades : of the week-end school: On the elementary level, in the] 3-day school, they range from $15 to 1165. On the 2-day high school level they range $15 to $200. Nonmembers pay appreciably . higher tuition fees than members. In communal and independ* ent schools the median is $125 on the 3-day elementary level • and $120 on the 3-day high school level. It is $100 on the Z-day high school level. Tuition fees are, usually reduced for each additional child from the same family, when two or more attend the school simultaneouslyIt Is interesting to note that Reform schools are far more
likely than Conservative or Orthodox schools to maintain a policy of free tuition for children of members. This is probably due to the fact that Reform congregations have higher membership dues than either of .the other groups and can, therefore, nfford to forego a tuition fee for members' children. Tuition The highest tuition fee—as could be expected—is, charged in the Day Schools. Here tuition in primary grades reaches $1,220 a year with a median of $550. It goes up to $1,300 in the elementary school, with.a $600 median and it reaches .$1,500 in the high school, with a median of $650. For parents who cannot afford to pay full tuition, lower ranges are considered. These figures throw light, on the cost cf educating a child in a Jewish Day School. The AAJE findings stress, however, that it is highly questionable whether the tuition fees in all types, of schools bear any relationship to the cost of maintaintrig~ the schools. While the study does not disclose details of current Jewish educational c o s t s , , it points ou^, that there appears to be sufficient evidence of a persistently wild gap between tuition income' and operating costs; The study conducted by the AAJE's. Department of Statistical 'Research—of which Dr. Hillel Hochberg is the director —affirmed that during the past decade, tuition fees in the afternoon schools have increased at a greater rate (30 per cent) than the Consumer. Price Index (23 per cent) or. the salaries of full-time teachers in these schools (20 per cent). The study also asked whether tuition fees increases, outpacing the Con-
sumer Price Index, may be among the causative factors in the decline of. pupil enrollment that has been widely n o t e d throughout the country. Inequality , From the AAJE study a picture emerges showing that the '• Jewish community must consider a plan that would result in the equalization of support ' for Jewish education. Such a plan is urgently needed, because the results of the study clearly indicate a gross inequality ' and insufficiency in the funds .available to sponsor a universally satisf a c t o r y program of Jewish education. Only equalization of s u p p o r t can remedy this situation. The AAJE is p a r t i c u l a r l y - concerned with the higher tuition fees l e v i e d by larger schools—schools with 300 or more pupils. Do larger schools engage more qualified teachers at higher salaries? A r e the higher fees warranted by reason of quality of education offered by the larger schools? Do •' the larger schools provide additional activities and better facilities which involve. higher maintenance expenditures?... A very large proportion of the larger schools evade the answer to these questions. The findings of the AAJE study strongly indicate that the larger school is far more likely to admit only children of men> bers. Should this actually be the case, it could mean that chil-dren of low socio-economic status may be deprived of a Jewish education in a growing number of communities. This is no • small matter. Full exploration of the relationship between school size and admission policy is therefore recommended in the study. This aim is to prevent admission restrictions,
The Jewish Quiz Box QUESTION: What is the purpose of the bells which are attached to some qf the decorations over the Holy Torah Scroll such as the crown and the breastplate? ANSWER: As the Torah is removed from the ark and carried around the congregation and to the platform from which It is read, Jewish tradition was desirous that the worshippers be aware of its approaching presence so that they might rise and give due respect to this.venerable object. While in a large congregation the movement of the Torah through the aisles may not be easily visible, the tinkling of the bells while the scroll is car* ried would suffice to make all aware of its presence. Some relate this practice to the Biblical requirement for bells to be attached to garments of the High Priest who entered the Holy of Holies once a year on the Day of Atonement. Since no one could go along with him, some symbol was necessary to keep the populace outside of the Holy of Holies aware of his activities. Should he have failed in his duties, death might have occurred. The tinkling of the bells while the High Priest moved to and fro during his duties in the Holy of Holies kept the people aware of his presence, which in this sense was both remote and yet perceptible. QUESTION: Why do all the Torah scrolls require a mantle to cover them when they are not in use? ANSWER: Generally speaking, in Jewish tradition, that which is holy and sublime is covered out of .respect and adoration. While the Torah is said to relate and to be a part of the life of every Jew, a symbol of reverence and dignity is nevertheless required lest it be forgotten that it is the work of the Almighty and not subject to the careless tampering of human desire. Some say that this is the reason for the tablecloth which is put over the table, especially on the Sabbath. The Jewish table is considered to be a representation of the Altar in the ancient temple. It receives its dignity and even some form of'reverence by being covered so that man approaches the table with a certain, reserve, of the spirit when he eats, . . . . .

With her warm smile and eager approach, she has already sold 10 books of tickets and is working _on completing her 11th. Even those who are selling tickets on their own buy tickets from Mrs. Rundell... That's some salesmanship!

Toronto (JTA)—After months of silence during which church leaders were criticized for alleged anti-Semitic views, the 57-member executive committee of the United Church of Canada issued a statement this week denying that the church or its leaders were anti-Semites or anti-Semitic. The charges had been leveled at church l e a d e r s after the church's official publication, "The Observer," published a series of articles sharply critical of Israel and Zionism. In its statement, the executive committee e x p r e s s e d "deep concern" about the climate of mistrust and alienation between the church and a large portion of the Canadian Jewish community, but It did not repudiate the Rev. A. C. Forrest, editor »f "The Observer," or the a n t i - I s r a e l i , anti-Zionist articles. The committee's statement reaffirmed resolutions passed by previous general councils of the church, which urged peace in the Middle East, security for Israel, and justice and self-determination for Palestinian Arabs.,* : Commenting on the committee's statement, Rabbi Gunther Plaut of Holy Blossom Temple
NEW HOME SITES 130th and Marinda (Royalwood)
126th"and Harney
here said: "I am glad that church leaders as a body are at last acknowledging the issues publicly.. They recognize the alienation between the two faith communities in Canada. On the other hand the statement regrettably falls short of what it might have been. It fails to state unambiguously that the deterioration of relationship was almost entirely due to the silence of United Church leadership over the last five years, in the face of consistently one-sided, prejudicial and recently scurrilous attacks on Zionism and the J e w i s h homeland."
Omaha—A group of students, led by Andrew Iiberman, will leave July 14 for a four-week archaeological and swimming tour of Israel.
