Strengthening the Jewish school system By Boris Smolor (Kdliurln-chtsf crotrllu«, J .T.A.I (Copyright IDH3, Jewbh Trtr«r«phlr Agency. Inf.)

The Jewiah new school year «Uirt« with strong determination on the part of the organized Jewish communities — the Jewish Federations — to intensify their efforts on behalf of Jewish education, especially in the field of Mrengthening the Jewish school system. Enrollment in Jewish schools of all types — except in the religious dny schools — hfl» declined about 45 percent during the last lfi years. There were about 600,000 pupils in the school syitlein in 1968; there are currently only about 350,000. The loan would have liccn even greater had not the religious day schools shown substantial growth in enrollment. Their increase came, to n considerable extent, from families who reached thin country from the Soviet Union and sought to give their children a Jewish education; from children of Iranian families admitted into the U.S. who were traditionally religious; and from many familie* of "yordim" who led Israel to nettle in the United States. Further substantial increases in the religious all-day (schools ore hardly expected. In fact, enrollment in those Bchools has begun to

level off, according to the Council of Jewish Federations. The CJF estimates that there are about a million Jewish children of school ngc in the U.S. A third of them are not sent to a Jewish ftchool, their parents being totally indifferent to giving their children a Jewish education. About another third drops out from Jewish schools after Bar Milzvah or Bat Mitzvnh. The minimum of Jewish education they received evaporates during the years of their growth. With the continuing decline in the number of pupils in the Jewish afternoon and weekend schools, which are maintained by Jewish congregations and Jewish groups of various ideologies, the question is now posed: What in going to happen to Jcwhh schools 10 years from now and later? The concern of Jewish leadership about Jewish education in general and about the fate of the Jewish schools in particular — especially the need of providing forceful leadership in the promotion of the idea among parents that by not sending their children to Jewish schools they are weakening Jewish family ties and undermining Jewish continuance — found expression in the. recent reconstitution of the American Association of Jewish Education (AAJE). After an extensive review of the AAJE, conducted in co-

operation with the Council of Jewish Federations, the AAJE was reconstituted as (he Jewish Education Service of North America (JESNA), designed to meet more effectively local communal needs in the area of Jewish education. JESNA will concentrate on providing competent guidance and assistance in analyzing community problems related to Jewish education. It will also clarify the appropriate roles of Federations and institutional sponsors of Jewish educational programs. It will counsel Federations and central community educational instumentalities in their efforts to support and strengthen Jewish education under institutional and community auspices. It will continue to maintain ongoing relations with national religious and ideological bodies and other national organizations active in maintaining Jewish schools as well as in other educational programs, What are the factors that lead to the decline in enrollment in the Jewish school system? A major factor is, of course, the lower birthrate among •lews. Since less children are born there arc less to be sent (continued from page 1)

Refreshing voice from Israel

A promise kept With this column, I am fulfilling a promise to my lovely niece in El Toro, California. • For the reader's benefit, Stacey Kasten is the oldest of three girls, daughters of ray sister Suzanne and my brother-in-law, Sandy. My wife and I journeyed to their home in California recently to attend the Bat Mitzvah of Rachel, and we talked about plans for Jessica's future Bat Mitzvah. The family gathering was a wonderful occasion. My brother, Rabbi Edward Maline attended from Philadelphia and participated in the service an he had for our sons in both Lincoln and Omaha. One night, when family and friends were together, m> sister told me that Stacey had won the regional BBYO oratory contest and that she would compete in the international contest at B'nai B'rith Perlman Camp in Starlight, PA. When Stacey told me that the topic was Should the Memory of the Holocaust-be Perpetuated? I suggested that she deliver her talk right then and there so that we could assess her poise and diction. She responded and the entire group was moved by her thoughtful words, her understanding of the Holocaust, and her mature presentation. After the ovation quieted, Stacey cameovcr to me and said, "Uncle Moms, if I should win the international, will you put my name in the Jewish Press?" It would be a pleasure, I recall saying. it is a pleasure. Stacey won.

HAIFA — The headline could hav» read' "Chairman of our Editorial Board Elected President of Israel." It would hove been an accurate statement if published in bract's popular weekly magazine, Newsvlew, when Chairn Heiwg assumed his new office. To be sure, aflet the election Herzog had to give up hi* editorial post, but he was at once succeeded by Aharon Yariv, former bend of military intelligence, and perhaps the country's leading military strategist. The personalities involved ore a reflection of the remarkably high standards of this English language periodical, now in its fourth year. But N e w s v l e w is characterized by another unique factor. In a country distinguished, among other lliings, for its sharply partisan press, the popular weekly is a rarity in that it is neutral and objective, Victor Perry, who has for the past two yea re been editor, denies that it w "neutral". Tho magazine is first and foremost a "Zionist, pro-Israel publication," he say*. It has its opinion* on issues of the day, but it is refreshing to read expression of such opinions not couched in the venom which marks much of the political journalism of Israel today. It is significant that in a survey of the readership not long ego, 77 percent of tbose responding recognized the paper as neutral; 15 percent thought it was pro-Labor, and 8 percent pro-Likud. In format, N e w s v i e w is very much like the great American news magazines, but with a style of its own. In addition to a conci&e and very readable digest of the major Israel new* of the week, it runs special cover stone*, vignette*, human interest sketches and original now* coverage of its own. Comprehensive cover Mories in recent months have included presentations on diamonds in Israel's economy, the Vatican and Israel, the country'* financial conglomerates, the Lebanese labyrinth, Israel'* vocal doves, the religioussecular gap, nnd special stories on the mayor* of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv respectively. A re<*nt analysis of Israel'*

economy haa been more thorough and more understandable within its limited length, than anything I have « » n elsewhere. Human interest item*, which shed so much tight on the spirit of the country, dot its pages. One finds vignettes on the Falashafl in Israel, on sport*, dieting in Israel, the eulu here, bird-watching, growing old on the kibbutz, music, book*, and much more. Almost every iwue has one at more distinctive features. Not long ago there was a slashing story on Henry Kissinger, detailing all the harm he had done to Israel during hi* diplomatic activity in the Middle East Worthy of headline*, aim, wo* an exclusive interview with Hosni Mubarak, in which the Egyptian President repeated his country's dedication to the peace process. Nothing bun gone wrong, he said. Egypt is seeking to bring other Arab countries into the orbit as well, end thi» mjuires that Egypt maintain its position in the Arab world, Israel ihould be tactful end patient, he said. An unusual aspect of this interview was the fact that it tvaa conducted by the publisher of Newtrview, Leon J. Tnmman, himself an umutual personality. Now a resident of London, he formerly lived in Egypt, U a philanthropist and a world leader of Sephardic Jewry, and lua extensive business intere«tt> in Israel. Subscription* come In from all over the world, and there M reason to believe that a number of subscriptions from so-celled neutral countries are actually on behalf of Arab governments which are enxioua to get this direct view of what u happening and it being cold and thought in Israel. It is common knowledge that the financial backbone of any periodical is advertising. A look at Ibe ad* reveals what shrewd bufinnamen think of the publication. In thin case, one finds all the leading banks of Israel, hotel*, airlines, credit cards, food product*), textile*, insurance, etc. They wem aimed at the tourint market, but the rcadertthip of N e w s v l c w is undoubtedly much wider.

B y M. J. Rosenberg In Witt the United Nations passed a resolution which dec In red (lint Zionism was a form of racism. Today, eight years later, a 1/inK Inland college professor is o g l i n g that the principle of academic freedom protects his right to teach -that Zionism is not only a form of racism hut is comparable to Nazism. The profewor i» Dr. Ernest Dubc, a psychologist who teaches a course called "Politics of Race" at the Stale University of New York at Stony Brook. He says that he is not anti-Semitic but is only "agnirut racism." Nevertheless, Dube has suggested that his ctudenU write terms papers on the topic. "Zionism is a» much racism as Nazism was raciiim." / In the course description for Dubt's class, he notes that students will spend their final week studying: "The three forms of racism and how they hove manifested themselves: 1) Nazism in Germany; 1) Apartheid in South Africa: 3) Zionism in Israel." Duhe's course and his personal views became issues when a visiting Israeli profexsor. Sclwyn Troen of Ben-Ourion University in Beershevo, submitted a complaint about Dube to the university's administration. "Dr. Dubs employed his position for the prtfxication of personal ideology and racist biases." Trocn wrote. He accused Dube of Tb6 kind of B!OKnnecring practiced by the nnti-Scmitc," He also charged that Dube's course wan not the one listed in the university's catalogue. Dube Huppo&edly was teaching about the black experience in America — not about the Middle East. Troen pointed out that Dube did not give his students access to opposing views about Zionism. In fact, his reading list for the course included nothing on the subject. Students were exposed only to Dube's point of view. '.'". "•

Troen't letter of complaint wan referred to the faculty «-nate which ruled that Dube had done nothing wrong. It declared that "the Iwunds of academic freedom have not been crossed in thi* case." "Academic freedom mean* the right to teach controversial issue* and ideas, the right to d with authority, and the right to free expression." Joel T. Ro&enthal, president of the faculty senate executive committee, explained what the ruling meant, "It means in our eyes, that the allegations did not hav« merit,... We looked at the controversy and feel it's a difference of opinion that falls between traditional academic freedom boundaries." / Near East Report Coy. Mario Cuomo reacted strongly to the decision. He d that he was "disappointed that more of the Stony Brook faculty did not publicly disagree with the content" of the faculty nenaus's report. "Academic freedom protect* the tight to be wrong*, it should not releaso anyone from the responsibility to express appropriate moral repugnance. It certainly does not restrict their freedom to do so, nor does it demand silence in the face of twisted logic that does damage." Cuomo noted that there was a similar situation at Northwestern University several years ago. "A professor of Engineering published n book which branded the Holocaust as T h e Hoax of the Twentieth Century.' While his academic Mat us was unaffected, neither university administration nor fellow faculty members felt constraint in the expression at moral condemnations which wen justifiably heaped on the professor in question. In comparison, the silence at Stony Brook n tlmnderou*." . .% .......

At the same time Washington has I wen favorably impressed by the Israel'm' withdrawal to the Awali River as per the May 17 agreement, it has also been sorry to see them go, he said, and it's sorrow to nee them leave follows a time just last spring when it could not wait for them to gel out.

As for Israel's future moves regarding the situation in l-obunon, Mr. Gal said they all depend on three factors: the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Ix-'bnnon, including those of Syria and the PLO; the restoration of a stable government in the country; and peace on Israel's northern border. Mr. Gal said that "as a Jew and a human tteing" he welcomed the Sept. 26 cease-fire in l-clmnon and hoped it had a chance for success. AM a "realistic Israeli," however, he said he "knew the way" of cease-fires in that purl of the world. Mr. Gal, JM. has l>een in the Israeli foreign service for eight years, haying served for five years in the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C. He fipent three years in the army as an artillery officer and studied mathematics at the Hebrew University prior to beginning his diplomatic career.

The precious legacy:

Judaic treasures from the Czechoslovak State collections By Joseph Polakoff WASHINGTON - Even the black and white photographs of the ancient Tqrah wro'ls and adornments that the Nazi» had seized in central Europe for use in ridiculing Jewish history misted eyes of borne observers at the Smithsonian Institution. "These pictures are enough to make you cry," one Jewishconnciow journalist remarked after the news conference regarding the schedule fend details of the forthcoming exhibition "The Precious I-cgacy: Judaic Treasures from the Czechoslovak State Collections." The more than "150 objects of fme art, decorative art and historical objects will go on exhibit for the first time outside of Czechoslovakia at M-vcn muswms acro&s America over Z\ month* beginning with its owning in Washington Nov. 9In the exhibit «re synagogue furnithings dating back three or more centuries. They include Tnrah curtains and nuintt-ls of silk brocade and velvet, silver Torah crowns, shieldx and finials, bows for alms, nnd eternal light* of brass, gloss, wood, stiver and pewter. Also to l«r uhirwn are object* wized by Nazi* et Jewish homes including kiddush cups, candlesticks, seder plates, Hanukkah lamps, yannulkais. taleysim. and even a circvim»fion chair from 1805. Other obje-cts are Hebrew manuscript*, bookn, and paintings. A photo shows a large collection of violins. Marking the Nazi horror in the years 1D4I -45 are objects denoting movement of Jew* to Terrzin (ThcreJienrtadt) that includes a child's deportation cose, drawing* and other items. Terezin was a transit Motion to death camps farther efl»t for Jew« principally of Bohemia and Moravia. The Smithsonian, where the exhibit will be first publicly nhown Nov. O-Dec. -51, reported thnt the historical and artistic objectK were M-IecU-d from the State Jewifth MuMum in Prague which lia* "the largest and one of the most «ijfnilicant collections of .ludaica in the world." "The object*." the Smithstontsn &aid. "illustrate the vibrancy and continuity of European Jewish life from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. The objects were preserved by an ironic twist of fate. The Holocaust destroyed W) percent of European Jewry'* material culture. However, the Nazis preserved the cultural artifacts of the Jemshcommunitiex in Bohemia and Moravia and elsewhere with the intention of creating a 'rruueum of on eitinct race' in

Prague."

in documenting their "final solution of the Jewish qucstion," the Smithsonian eaid, the Nazis by 1945 had amassed more than 94,000 iterni as "evidence lo ridicule" an "extinct race." The item» filled eight historic buildings in Prague's Jewish quarter and 50 warehouse* throughout the city. The historian Salomon Hugo Lieben (I881-1JM2) created in lOOfi the Organisation for the Founding and Maintenance of B Jewish Mu**um in Prague. In 1942, Reinhard Heydrich, Hitler'« chief officer for Bohemia and Moravia, and SS. t Jntersiturmfiihrer Karl Ruhrn "designed a program that would completely distort the museum's purpose of preserving human culture,'" the Smithsonian »aid. A Nazi charter established a "central Jewish museum" to cultect and store Jewinh pwssuwMons of both historical ond nrti.aic value. Staff member* of the Jewish Museum "were forces to participate in an Official Planning Comniiwion for the new Kaii museum" the Smithsonian report noted. In the end "virtually all of the Jewish curators were olso sent to their deaths." In 1949, Prague's Jewish Community Council offered as o gift to the Czech Government both the hi*loric monuments of I'rfljai'.'V Jewish quarter and the thou&andf of objects in its building*. The Suite Jewish Mus*utn was established on April 4, 1950.
