Midwest Teenagers Meet Here For Reform Judaism Convention By Stu Chapman . More, than ISO teenagers from throughout the Midwest had an opportunity last week to discuss Jewish Life Cycle" events through the use of a new text in the tradition of Reform Judaism. The teenagers, representing the Missouri Valley Federation of Temple Youth (MoVFTY) from Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Nebraska and Iowa attended the fiveday convention at Temple 'Israel.; The main purpose of the convention was to discuss the various stages of the Jewish Life cycle as it related • to Reform Jewish tradition. Seminars were led by Rabbi Barry Weinstein on the topics of birth, Bar and Bat Mitzvah, marriage and life future aftermarriage. Rabbi Sidney Brooks and the convention staff discussed these subjects using a new text put together by the Central, Conference of American Rabbis. ' David Bernstein,' a San Francisco Temple Youth organizer addressed the convention describing an "extraordinary" experiment in Zionism and Reform Judaism that has led to the establishment of the first Reform Kibbutz in Israel. The Kibbutz, Kibbutz Yahel, was officially dedicated in November, 1970, by a group of . American and Israeli students attending the Leo Beck School, which 1B affiliated with the Reform-oriented Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC). . .. Mr. Bernstein noted that there are ..several "core groups'' across the United States, known as Garin, that plan to make aliyah to Israel In 1978, to help settle the Kibbutz. Bernstein stated that he plans to be a part of a Garin
that will make aliyah to the new Kibbutz in September 1978, . '.'••>•• ijjlher; events occuring. dur-.

A Remarriage Mr. and Mrs. Ajon Farber were "remar; ried" last week. The marriage ceremony performed at Temple Israel by Rabbi Sidney Brooks, was part of a Temple Youth convention program that dealt with Marriage and the Jewish Life Cycle. •'&'• Those in attendance not only witnessed the wedding ceremony, but saw a re-enactment of ~ the couple's pre-rharital conference held 23 years ago as well. : Rabbi Brooks, in describing the marriage, ceremony, called it a "reaffirmatlon" of the love and life which Mr. and Mrs. Farber already have. The ceremony itself was a real wedding with musical accompaniment provided by Michael Gilbert and David Meyer. Bjon Farber, the couple's son, served as best man. Josi Farber, their daughter, served,,, as bridesmaid.

National Shabbat The second annual United Jewish Appeal National Shabbat takes place Jan. 6-7. The Shabbat, according to Rabbi Joseph Lookstein, chairman of the UJA Rabbinical Advisory Council, reinforces the strong spiritual and ethical connection between the synagogue and the ongoing work of UJ A/federations: "In recent years, some of our people have looked in non-traditional directions for answers to moral dilemmas," he said, adding, "We have come to realize that the source of our ethical life stems instead from our deepest and most profound Jewish roots.'' " The rabbi points out that the roles of the synagogues and UJA/federation within our American Jewish community are complementary, for both are sources of strengthening our people, enabling us to enrich our own lives while helping to sustain those of others.

Afevv Palestinian State—Mideast Time Bomb HAIFA — The demand of the Arab extremists that a new, Independent state of Palestine be established in the relatively tiny area of Judea and Samaria, between Israel and the Kingdom of Jordan, is one of the primary stumbling blocks to agreement in the Middle East. Many Israelis reject Arab sovereignty of any kind over this region. But even those who are willing to surrender Israel control over all or part of (he area would consent only to its becoming part of or federated to the existing Jordan state. . A revealing presentation of how the Palestine nationalists visualize a separate state is offered by an Arab journalist resident In East Jerusalem, Mohammad Abu Shilbaya, In a recent number of New Outlook. This is the monthly, under Jewish auspices, which provides a forum for those who believe that it only Israel would be'more compromising and conciliatory, and yield up the "conquered" territories, sweet peace and harmony would automatically prevail in the Middle East. Abu Shilbaya has an Ingenuous way of facing realities. The problems of economic viability of (he new state be shrugs off lightly. All states have such problems, he

refugees, whose homes nave been taken over by the Israelis. It appears that presentation and interpretation of facts can be adjusted to circumstances. Still, tills little duchy cannot exist on grants-ln-ald alone. The total arable land in the proposed state Is "rather small," he says, but this can be overcome. Mountain fruits, olive oil for soap, and maybe coffee can: make the difference. There's always hope foroll. In short, Abu Shilbaya sees the new Palestinian state becoming "a veritable paradise, capable of absorbing all the Palestinians, if not several-times their number, ilnce the number of the population need by no means be commensurate with the country's area." For all this capital will be required. For a start, some $10 billion will do, and to the Arab oil-producing countries such a sum Is not very much, he points out. It U difficult to decide if the author and his colleagues are only, naive, or machiavellian, knowing full well that' what they propose is impossible both physically and politically. Israel realizes that such a state, if attempts were made to set it up, would Immediately, be subjected to all the conflicting tensions in the Arab world, as Syria, Jordan, Communists and others conspire and fight for control. For the Soviet Union it could become a vital wedge of penetration Into the area. Such a state would be a live volcano, threatening at any moment "to erupt over" into Israel with, which it would have a long border. Even the picture painted by the Arabs themselves should be enough to convince Washington and tfie wdrld~that further Balkanlzatlon of this tiny strip cilsnd will provide both spark and tinder for a conflagration. And for that reason, this proposal Is completely unacceptabletoevery Israeli and every Israel party — except the Communist Party.
