Meir did not seem to be very impressed." The Austrian Chancellor said lie can only give his opinion of the talks because Mrs. Meir left immediately afterwards without giving any comment.

Hay Offer 23 Iraqi Jem ReportedHolland New Transit Center Murdered in Past Year Paris (JTA) — At least 23 Jews were murdered by the Iraqi regime, in the past year, the highest such total ever, the European office of the American Jewish Committee charged In a report on Jews in Middle Eastern countries. Fifteen Jewish men and three women arrested by Iraqi police 'and security forces during an . eight-month period beginning Sept. 1972, never have been seen or heard from again and must be presumed dead, the AJCommiltee affirmed. •' Five more Jews, members of the Reuven Kashkush family, were machine-gunned to death in thfer home by a police unit, as part of Iraqi "vengeance" following the Israeli commando raid into Beirut last April. Still another Jew found murdered in his house-.in unexplained circumstances may have been yet -: another seucrity forces victim, the AJCommittee reported. -

"Persistent refusal of Iraqi authorities to provide any information about the fate of the 18 persons arrested plus recent revelations by the ^highest Iraqi leaders of prison torture and killings in that country permit so other conclusion than that these Jews pere put to death,"

according Id the report which covers developments during the Jewish year 1972-1973. The largest previous toll of Jewish deaths in any one year occurred when nine Jews were publicly hanged in Baghdad and Basra on alleged treason charges in Jan. 1969, and two others were executed by Iraq in prison the following August. Meanwhile, Syrian authorities continue to "play dumb" re-" -garding the fate of Albert Elia, the secretary of the Jewish community of Beirut, known to have been kidnapped by Syrian forces in Sept 1971. • No more than 400 Jews still live in Iraq according to AJCommittee estimates. The J e w i s h community — once 120,000 strong, the largest in the Middle East—is at the brink of disintegration as Jews depart steadily when emigration is permitted. While passports and .exit visas are at present being granted to some Jews, others are still being refused x departure. Jewish communal life in Iraq is virtually at an. end as has already been the case in Libya where there are only 30 Jews compared to 42,000 in 1945.

AJCommittee Withdraws Award for Pepsico Head New York (JTA)—An official of the American Jewish Committee said that it withdrew its civic leadership award to Donald M.

Gold said, however, that Kendall's lobbying against the trade bill amendments was brough to the AJCommittee's attention within the past two weeks by various "individuals" and It was decided tha't presentation of the award to Kendall was no longer appropriate.

Oldtimers Review By Sam "Who or what Is an Oldllmer?" is a question many have asked. My answer is as follows. An "Oldtlmer" is*a man. who mutt bo at least 13 years of age; he may be retired, semiretired or even active in his , work or profession. He should be interested in seeing and meeting with old friends; he should enjoy an outstanding kosher lunch; he "Should enjoy listening to Omaha's leading citizens speaking on a wide variety of subjects; he may even enjoy the Israeli movies which are shown every week. If he enjoys Pan or Gin, we have a social hour for him. Also, ho should be able to sit through a business meeting that never takes more than 5 minutes. All tills he can get for a , ridiculously low cost of the lunch! ; The regular gathering of the Oldtimers was held Tuesday, October 2 at Beth El Synagogue ,. with 80 gentlemen attending. The movie this week was of an exhibition golf match played by Sam Snead on Israel's first golf course, ' •

Des Moin£s News Section Open Letter to Des Moines Jewry

Dimensions and Directions By 11ARLAN D. HOCKENBERG, President Dei Motaei Jewish Welfare Federation The prompt and efficient compliance by Austrian Chancellor Bruno Kreisky with the Arab terrorists' demand to close Scnoenau a processing and transit center for Soviet Jews emigrating to Israel, even if subsequently rescinded, parallels the equally coti''rageour action of former United Nations Secretary V Thant, who withdraw United Nations Armed Forces in May, 1967 at the request of the Prime Minister of Egypt, Mr. Nasser. Tfte •ctnrrenee »f the terrorist attack on the train with tts precious cargo of Soviet Jews oa the second day of Roth HashaBah emphasizes the magnitude of our responsibility toward Soviet Jewry In 5731. Since three-fourths of the U.S. Senate and two-thirds of the • U. S. House of Representatives have co-sponsored amendments requiring Russia to honor the emigration rights of Soviet citizens granted by the Soviet Constitution as a condition to most-favored nation status in trade relations with our country, many political commenators in all media forms as well as Nixon administration. - spokesmen have deplored this tactic as an interference in the do• mestic issues of a foreign country with the awesome prospect of • upsetting the detente. One may wonder after the Great Grain Robbery of the summer of 1972 why the Soviet Union should not be expected to make ' tome" concessions in the pursuit of detente? Perhaps our State "Department negotiators should inquire of themselves, if not of their Russian counterparts, why there is more likelihood that Soviet Russia would honor her detente arrangements with us than the rights of her own citizens? The Shofar must surely, awaken in each of us a resolve that the North American Jewish Community of the 1970's save Soviet Jewry by an unprecedented mobilization of its total resources. The low of six million European Jews as a mere'internal mat.ler-to the history of Nazi Germany is too vivid a memory to per,mit a lesser commitment! • . .

Jick at CAC Meeting Des. Moines—Monday night, September 17, Dr. Leon Jick spoke at an open meeting of. the Community Action Committee. Approximately 200people attended the meeting. Harlan Hockenberg, chairman of the Community Action Committee and President of the Jewish Welfare Federation, reviewed the history of the Community A c t i o n Committee. Richard Levitt, chairman of the CAC, introduced Rabbi Jick, noting that the long list of accomplishments of Dr. Jick in scholarship, in the Rabbinate and community activity. Among the things noted by Dr. Jick was that important happenings in Jewish life often occur in small communities and that small communities^ being manageable, can give leadership to larger Jewish communities. He stressed that

our needs for Jewish communal life are different than they wore 20 years ago and that reexamination of these needs and restructuring of instrumentalities to fulfill these needs aro being discussed in many communities throughout the country. The. concept of a Jewish Life Center and what it might include was also discussed. Ha < noted that tiffs concept, a thrilling one, needs to be de- ' veloped so as to serve t h « needs of the community today I and those in the future. He further stressed that we must not I destroy institutions that have # served us well but continually' make the adaptations neces-/ sary to meet new conditions inf our environment. A copy of Dr. Jick's presentation may be obtained at th» federation office.

Meeting Retirement Needs (Continued from page 8.) financial resources to pay for such. The Iowa Jewish Home is an excellent vehicle for an outpatient clinic. In summary, all of the services w h i c h have been mentioned above hang together in a package that forms a'eontinumm of services that follow the retiree through his senior years, assisting him with initial pre-retirement p l a n n i n g and then at retirement helping him to utilize his talents and resources and to enjoy life to its u t m o s t . . Supportive services may also bo available, includ-. ing retirement housing at modest price and outpatient medical . services oh an interim basis.'The centering of these services in a campus setting

would help give coordinated delivery. The campus concept will eliminate a tremendous amount of redundancy now taking place within tho community. If, for example, the Jewish Home, Jewish Community Center and retirement housing were located together central dietary facilities could be developed to servo all three c o m m u n i t y institutions and thus eliminate the need for duplication of staff and equipment. This is but one examplo of what could bo dono if facilities are coordinated. ^PACKAGING SPECIALISTS? ;;BOTT:LES, OARS/CANS •GLASS,: PUSTiC^METAL:;

Israel's Top Problems By CARL ALPERT . Haifa—The Yom Kipjwr season affords opportttoity for contemplation and spiritual stocktaking. Hence it is our annual custom at this time to review what we con' aider the country's dozen major problems. Most of the problems appear on this list year after year, but their respective order pf importance may< vary, with changing circumstances. The following, in order of present significance, will require Israel's special attention in the coming year: Alpert 1. Pursuit of Peace. This continues to be Israel's major consideration. There has bee-no breakthrough, but optimists note encouraging glimmers on several fronts. 2. Inflation. This has in recent years moved steadily up the list, until today it takes terrifying priority over even military matters as a source of major concern for Israel's stability. 3. Poverty. Economic boom has served to set in sharp contrast the pockets of dire poverty which exist In many cjties, and which even a Socialist regime has found it impossible to eliminate. ' 4. Defence. For the first time in many years this Kern drops a bit lower on the list. With good reason Israel feels itself more secure against -its foes, despite occasional terrorist dramatics. 5. Immigrant Absorption. Each wave of immigration has inevitably brought with it new

absorption problems,,, and the present influx from the Soviet Union is no exception. ** 6. Housing. While shortages of both labor and building materials continue to keep housing in short supply, there is promise that the coming year may see a near solution. 7. Labor Relations. The growing gap between the Histadruth and official government policy has already adversely affected stability in labor relations, and the situation may deteriorate even further. 8. Water Shortage. The critical period is approaching, and unless Israel does something drastic within the next four or five years the country's agriculture and industry will shrivel up for lack of sufficient water. 9. Pollution. Israel discovered this problem only in recent years, and desperate efforts are being made to protect the natural resources of land, air and water against the onslaught of industrialization inadequately controlled. 10. Road Safety. The country still takes too lightly the fact that far, far more Israelis are killed each year it: road accidents than by enemy action. The toll still mounts steadily. 11. Religious Influence. The confrontation between orthodox and secular elements has not sharpened, and what could have developed ! > a civil war has been averted—for the time being. 12V Electoral System. This election year has highlighted some of the weaknesses in Israel's system: the distortion of proportional representation, party fragmentization, the lack of direct election by the voters, boss control. These are Israel's dozen headaches. What will their status be on Yom Kippur 1974?

Yom Kippur—'73 Tonight at sundown Jews throughout the world will begin th» observance, of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, "the most sacred and solemn of the ancient Hebrew holidays. The observance of Yom Kippur is one which has remained unbroken for over 2,000 years by Jews of all denominations. Tha day is spent in prayer, culminating the previous lp days of intense self-examination during which the individual Jew examines the past year; atones for his shortcomings and expresses his hopes for strength and regeneration for the year to come. The significance of Yom Kippur for the Jewish people is profound. It reflects an emphasis upon the nature of man as a responsible being, capable of change and redemption through his own acts. By asking forgiveness of God, and of .those he has wronged, man can change his life and the world around him.Yom Kippur provides the Jew with the .opportunity and the challenge to re-evaluate and reshape his life. The manner in which each Jew uses the day is the real measure of the importance, of the holiday. .:-•'••

QUESTION: Why does the confession ritual of Yom Kippur require each worshipper to enunciate and confess sins which he himself never committed? ANSWER: A number of reasons are giveivfor this practice. First, every. Jew is responsible for the sins of his fellow Jews. This moans that a sin committed by another Jew makes fellow Jews in the community share the guilt—that is why the confession is in the plural. Secondly, It. is a very difficult thing to confess. However, if everyone is confessing at the same time, the real sinner will not be embarrassed when he confesses. Thirdly, it is possible that a person committed a sin and was not aware of what he was doing.' It is possible also that he contributed towards the sins of others, and, therefore, "wouhPshare the guilt of others. • ..-•.-•

The Congregation of Israel held high holy day services in 1879 in the Unitarian Church.

These are happy, important milestones w h i c h should have been recognized, but we goofed. To these families and others we may have missed we offer warm congratulations and sincere apologies. I knew when I started the Jewish Press Attitude Study that the results could hit some sensitive areas—and they did.. I'm told that the reports of the Study have been the source of some lively discussions, and that's good. If the reports stimulated thought and \ discussion which eventually is translated into action, then I think those who participated in the survey have ma.de a valuable contribution to the community. I tried to be particularly careful with the reporting of the statistics. I knew that incorrect reporting of the figures could give a distorted picture of the attitudes expressed. I also knew that these errors could not be detected except by a very perceptive reader. So now I know. There are a number of very perceptive readers of the Jewish Press. Two errors have been called to my attention, and I think it's important to set the record straight. The story about community^ leaders reported that 96 per cent of Federation board members contribute to the Jewish Philanthropies campaign. A number of Federation board members challenged that figure and they were right. 100
