Alaska Jewish Community Takes Shape By IKMA FINN The only civilian Jewish congregation in Alaska was forma«y oranized on October 3, 1958, following Sabbath services, conducted under lay leadership, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Burton Goldberg of Spenard, an Anchorage suburb. 40, Families in Anclioruwo Except for a short-lived congregation in Fairbanks prior to 1905, there has never been a civilian Jewish congregation in Alaska. There are some 40 Jewish families in Anchorage, not all of whom affiliate. For those eager to maintain their religious traditions, doing so has been a difficult job. It's been difficult for civilian Alaskan Jewry to carry on their tradition because they have had no rabbi, no house of worship of their own. •— They have not been, however, completely without religious guidance, thanks to the United States Air Force. For several years a Jewish chaplain has made his headquarters at Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage, along with chaplains of the Cathslic and Protestant faiths. At the present time the chaplain is Lt. Joshua Wachtfogel, a 24-year-old Orthodox rabbi from Philadelphia, Pa. Chaplain Wachtfogel conducts Friday evening and holiday services at the base to which Anchorage civilians are invited. He also performs religious services at military installations at Fairbanks, Kodiak and the Aleutian chain. However, Chaplain Wachtfogel cannot cater to the needs .or. all Jews in a state over twice the size of Texas. The needs of Alaskan Jews are great. There is the need for a spiritual leader to perform burial rites, to pass tne tradition on to the children, to perform marriage's. There is also the need for a house of worship. Difficult to Maintain Traditions It has been difficult for two reasons for Jews to maintain their traditions in Alaska. Take the matter of dietary laws. Except for some processed meats, it is impossible to buy kosher Tneats in
Alaska, meat slaughtered accordIng to Bibllcnl law. Some Jews tend to Seattle for kosher products; but few can afford to do this. Second, tradition , which plays to large a part In Jewish family life, no longer has the Impetus of family solidarity. Most Alaskan Jew* have left their families outnldo. There is no longer the need or desire to please parents or grandparents who hold the tradition dear. For the most part, Alaskan Jews are cut off from any kind of Jewish environment. The new congregation selected the name of Beth Shalom. The group is undeniably small. At most 25 persons have attended the meetings. But they arc an energetic group, determined to make the congregation thrive. Their tangible assets include some 25 prayer books; a slver wine cup; a pair of silver candlesticks; and a pledge of a breast plate. It Is the hope of the newlyformed congregation that they will be able in time to support a rabbi; that they will be able to establish a house of worship; that they will be able to institute a school of religious education for their children. During the past few years, children of the community have attended Sunday school provided by the Air Force on the base. (JTA)

German Cabinet Anti-Semitism Bonn, (JTA)—Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's Cabinet has decided to Introduce anti-defamation legislation In the Wait German Parliament, The Cabinet took the view that it would not be feasible to wait for a general penal code reform outlawing race hatred. A draft of the proposal submitted to the Cabinet would make hata-mongerlng against national, religious and' racial groups punishable by up to three months imprisonment. The now legislation would differ sharply Irani existing penal »tatueta In that direct Incitement to violence would not have to be proved to secure conviction. While the now legislation Ii aimed at protecting all religions, nationality and racial groups from hate propaganda, insult and subjecting to public scom, tht Cabinet acted because of the incident jn Hamburg in which the Supreme Court refused to act in the publication of a violently. anti-Semitic piece,of propaganda. -
