The Holocaust stems from laws enacted In 1935 and should not be looked upon as a last minute attempt by Hitler to kill the Jews before the Impending capitulation of Germany in World Wartl. Dr. Albert H. Friedlander, said {be Holocaust should be studied within the framework of "The Age of Brutality" starting with the destruction of the Armenians in the early 1900s. .Rabbi Friedlander, director of the Leo Baeck Rabbinical College in London, England, and Rabbi of. the Westminister Synagogue there, -gave his views on the Holocaust to the Midwest Association of Reform Rabbis last week in Omaha.

Rabbi Gives UIML Invocation LINCOLN - The University of -Nebraska's recent Commencement Invocation was delivered by Rabbi Mark Bisman of Tifereth Israel Synagogue. His message is as follows: Moses Malmonedes, a 12th century Jewish scholar taught "It is through the Intellect that the human being has the capacity of honoring God." In the lore of the Rabbis, • God is reported to have said "He who honors my creatures, it were as though he honored Me." As we gather here to recognize the academic, achievement of these graduating students, in honoring them we also honor the Creator of all mankind and the Source of all knowledge. Permit metoshare with you a prayer from the Jewish tradition. I hope it can express the gratitude that Is no doubt in the hearts of parents who witness today the recognition of their children's achievements. I hope it can also ex-

Finally, the political and economic situation in Egypt had become so acute that Sadat was in desperate need of a break-through. He took a risk, and so far It has paid off. Question: Mas Begin changed his political philosophy, that be Is prepared to yield up the West Bank? There appears to be a long range gamble here. Sadat is pressing for- a complete regional settlement. Begin is cooperating. The compromise reached will be offered to the Arab world. Today there Is every.

Sadat will be able to say that he sought and obtained a. reasonable solution, but he can no' longer be bound by the intransigence of the other states. He will then be free to

If elections were to be held in Israel tomorrow, many estimate that 80 percent or more of the population would endorse Begin and his party. Though he has been in office little more than six months he has effected a miraculous change In the situation. The Labor opposition Is in complete disarray. On the one hand, there is grudging approval of Begin's broad policy, but since the party cannot commit suicide It must pick and criticize. The results are pathetic, and have lost them even further public support.
