Jewish Education in Omaha

By Morris Margolin, M. I). " Beginnings 1UO<)-I»1» In 1909, the total organized Jewish educational program in Omaha consisted of a single Sunday School sponsotrd by tho Reformed Congregation and housed in ils new building, Temple I rael, on Park Avenue and Jackbun Streets. The Orthodox group, consist ing mainly of recent immigrants from Russia and East Kuj i ope and rapidly growing, was still loosely organized and beginning to move from Dr.just Margolin its two old settlements, one cen tered about 12th and Capitol Avenue and the other located south of the depots between 10th and I.'iih Streets.

Among this group, Y i d d i s h speaking in the main, Jewish education was primitive, haphazard and fragmentary. It depended upon private teachers of the "MeIamed" type engaged by the parents for the instruction of their male children in the mechanical reading of Hebrew for prayer participation. The girls had practically no Jewish education whatever, although a few were taught Yiddish with the aim of letter writing.

By 1912, two new Synagogueswere built, Congregation B'Nai Israel (Russische) on lijth and Chicago Streets, and Beth Hamedrosh Hogodol (Litvische) on 19th and Burt Streets. A third group, Congregation B'Nai Jacob Anshai Sholom (Kapuler) set up hcadquartt-rs in a converted building on 24th and Nicholas Streets. By this time the O r t h o d o x community had shifted northward and westward, eventually occupying the area lying approximately between Davenport and Burdette Streets and Kith to 30th. . ° Soon thereafter, afternoon Hebrew schools limited to boys were organized and housed In the basements of the buildings on 18th and Chicago and 24th and Nicholas. The instruction was practically limited to boys and consisted mainly of mechanical H e b r e w reading, plus whatever other subjects the instructors were able to work into the curriculum. The cacaphony of boyish voices chanting Hebrew syllables in unison became a familiar sound in the vicinity of these two Synagogues. The teachers were part-time, recruited from students attending Creighton University, as well as local residents.

By 1915, a Sunday School developed in quarters of the Beth Hamedrosh Hagodol Synagogue for the girls who were receiving no Jewish education whatever. Some boys were also enrolled, reflecting undoubtedly their failure to enroll at the Hebrew schools. Increasing numbers of the Orthodox children were also enrolled in the Temple Israel Sunday School.

-The City Talmud Torah 1020-1929 With the end of the First World War, a movement developed to unite the two Hebrew schools and to provide better instruction for the girls as well as for the boys.

Under the leadership of Dr. Philip Sher, ably backed by other noted communal leaders and the slogan "Let's take our children out of the basements,", the movement eventually prevailed. The combined school, under the name of City Talmud Torah, was housed in a building at 21st and Burt Streets.

The staffs of the two Hebrew schools were combined, and girls as well as boys were enrolled in the five-day-per week afternoon school, running eleven months of the year. The funds were derived from tuition paid by the pnrents, plus, city-wide Yom Kippur Eve fund-raising in the Orthodox Synagogues.

The school began with much enthusiasm and apparent great promise. However, the promise failed to hold up for very long.

For 73 years students drawn by a common -desire for Intellectual and'spiritual sustenance have come to Yeshiva University In New York.

Today, aided with the light of modern technique, its students are better able to grapple with the problems of their people and are in a better position to give leadership to the development and enhancement of true democracy in the American W a y of Life.

Most of the 4,500 students enrolled in the University's 17 schools and divisions this fall, will serve their communities in every field of endeavor some day.

The University's dynamic growth over the past decade is* emphasized by the fact that instruction is given in six major centers in New York. A faculty of 850 outstanding scholars instruct in fields of study ranging from Arabic to Zoology.

The University Is the home of Albert Einstein College of Medicine, whose first class was graduated earlier in the year. • Dr. Harry Belkin, distinguished president of the University for 16 years, best expressed the achievements of the Univeritity when he said:

Among the nearly 6,000 who have received degrees and diplomas are 1,000 r a b b i s and doctors, some 1,800 who are s e r v i n g their areas as social workers, civic and youth leaders.

Others have pursued careers as physicians, attorneys, teachers, and in other professional and commercial fields.

Hebrew Union College— Jewish Institute of Religion

Aerial view of the Cincinnati campus.

" A liberal institution of higher learning In Judaism."

This is the aspiration of the Hebrew Union College — Jewish Institute of Religion which trains spiritual leaders for the Reform rabbinate.

"Nothing in the Jewish past or present Is alien to our interests," Dr. Nelson Glueck, president of the college and a distinguished archaeologist, asserts in his message to college candidates. " W e cherish the right of free conscience fo study Judaism, and we impose the need to study as an obligation on candidates for the Reform rabbinate. W e have confidence that the accurate' and affirmatively critical and f r e e study of our tradition will ensure its survival and enhance its sanctity."

The Hebrew Union College—Jewish Institute maintains three schools in the United States;

rniifflHi(Vifi«^

the parent Cincinnati c a m p u s , the New York school and the 1957 dedicated California school of Los Angeles.

A graduate School of Biblical Research Is being established In Jerusalem.

Study at the college proceeds in an atmosphere of intellectual and academic freedom.

The student not only absorbs Information, but must press on the personal convictions which will influence or shape his career as a rabbi.

Study plus r e f l e c t i o n and application,; learning plus basic faith, distinguish the schooling of the rabbi from training for other professions. The student must wrestle with profound religious questions and religious problems.

His mature, judgment, rooted in deep learning, enables him to meet the challenge of the religious life and function truly as a rabbi.' j

ver Hits Israel; Israel Campaign Like Democratic Countries The political scene is "humming" in Israel as voters and can didates get set for the fourth general election in eleven years—on November 3. On that day 120 members will be chosen for" Knesset.

Party committees have chosen or are choosing their candid ateS as the election fever mounts. Party representatives who are alloted broadcasting time over radio will have to submit their texts in advance t o Kol Yisrael, it is reported. .Passages in a speech which the station considers questionab le, will be passed on to the Chairman of the Central Election Committee, Supreme Court Justice Y. Slussman, whose verdict will be final.

Feeling that the eyes of the community will be closely focus ed on the events leading to the election and its results, the Jewish Press presents a run-down in the following columns on "Election Day-Parties a nd the Operation of the Israel Government."

Many of the readers may wish to clip most of the passages fo r future consultation. The text was rushed to the Jewish Press expressly for the interest of the community by the Jewish Agency Information Dcp t. It was written by Misha Louvish.

Election Day—Its Special Meaning Election Day in Israel brings to a climax a political campaign that, despite differences of custom anil language, bears striking resemblance to those of other democratic nations.

Out of a total population slightly in excess, of two millions, almost 1,200,000 Israelis are qualified to go to the polls on that day and enjoy their right to elect the one hundred and twenty members of the Knesset, which is Israel's Paliament.

Advertisements in the newspapers, posters on boardings, speeches in the open air and In auditoria, animated talk over the dinner table lcand in restaurants and cafes —everywhere t' wordy warfare thnt precedes the day rivets the attention and virtuually monopolizes the interest of the people.

In the concluding stages, party spokesmen (ire privileged, in parity of time, to state their case over the national radio network.

Indeed, visitors would find only one medium missing: there is no campaigning on television—but only because Israel has no TV yet.

Free speech, and lots of it, dominates the scene. The prc.-election altercation, the secret ballot, the excitement and the prido that are the mark of free people, are in evidence In Israel as they arc everywhere in the democratic world when citizens choose the men to make their laws and control this Government.

Free Elections Bu t Election Day in Israel has a special |tjnd of drama.

This little country, only 8,000 square u miles In area, which is about the size of Wales or Massachusetts, its population just matching that of Arkansas or New Zealand, is one of the few countries in the Middle East that hold free elections or accord universal franchise.

The autumn of 1959 is to witness the fourth parliamentary election In Israel— spaced as those elections are at intervals of four years. Between one quadrennial polling day and the next, thousands of newcomers enter the country and are integrated; |nany of them have never before in their lives exercised democratic rights. The first exuberance flowing from this completely new prerogative thnt aliyah (Immigration to Israel) gives them stamps Election Day In the young republic with a distinctively demonstrative, even gala, character.

For ballots arc cant by Jewish men and women ulio only yesterday lived an existence typical of the Middle Ages In the ghettos of Yemen or Morocco, or had been degraded to second-rate citizenship In Iraq, or, by a miracle, hail escaped from Hitler's extermination camps, or come from lands without democracy; and, no lee*, l>y Israel's Arabs, In this as in so much else more fortunate than their fellows who are •till subservient to feudal or military dictatorship* in Egypt, Iraq nnd Saudi Arabia..

153,000 Moslems The 153,000 Moslems of Israel constitute the largest non-Jewish religious group.

There are also about 48,000 Christians—Greek Catholics, Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholics, Maronites, Anglicans and other Protestant denominations—and 21,500 members of the Druze sect, which split off from Islam in the 11th century.

Whatever their background, all these citizens of Israel have the right to vote, and they use it amply. At the 1955 elections, more than 80 per cent of the electorate polled, which is one of the righest percentages of participation known outside regimented societies. Jew, Christian, Moslem or Druze: man or woman; rich or poori eabra 'native born), veteran pioneer or newcomer—each comes freely forward to Vote in secret, unprompted and unsupervised, for the Party of his choice.

The people of Israel, as perhaps few other peoples, treasure that precious liberty. It is embedded deep In their democratic tradition, nnd plainly mirrored In the constitutional legislation of the State. It Is valued all the more because of tho contrast—so close at hand, so recent In memory—with lands under thrall to Army Juntas or all-powerful dynasts, or where the ballot is Rcarccly secret, nnd them Is no challenge to the one, omnipotent. Party.

Whether in town and city, in kibbutz and colonly, in outlying settlements of the Negev, in frontier garrisons, or in Arab village "and Beduin bivouac, Israelis manifest proper civic satisfation and interest in expressing on enlightened citizenship which is the instrument for the construction of their own future and the futuro of their reborn nation.

Who Can Vote?

Every national of Israel over the age of eighteen years, man. or woman, whatever be the race or creed or former citizenship, has the right to vote. The Government does everything possible to make all Israelis speedily aware of it, to help them qualify themselves for it, and to encourage them to exercise it, For example, newcomers who became Israelis by immigration up to May 12, 1959, will bo admitted to vote in the autumn election.

During a three-months spell from January to the end of March of Election Year, registration cards are sent by registered mall to everybody on the roster of eligible voters: remember that every Jew who enters Israel as an immigrant becomes a citizen as he sets foot on Israel soil, unless he declares a contrary intent For those who do not receive a card, the omission serves as a warning that their names are not on the roster, or that they were registered at a former address.

This is important in Israel, with Its constant influx of immigrants, who, as might be expected, tend to move around a good deal before they finally settle down.

Qualified Voters Posted ' There is yet a further safeguard. At public places In every town and village,

Tile Knesset, the only democratic law mnlring body In the Mid-East sits In session. a list of qualified voters for the area is posted up ten hours a day for fifteen days prior to April 16 of Election Year. Any one whose name is missing froip the list may appeal against the overnight to the Minister of the Interior, who is by law bound to reply. If no answer is given or his reply does not please, the plaintiff can tako the matter to the District Court for final redress.

Who Can be a Candidate?

Every citizen of Israel who is twenty-one years of age on the day the lists of candidates arc submitted by the Parties may stand for election.

Judges of any Court, however, are not allowed to stand—an exclusion based on tho Incontrovertible belief that at every level tho Judiciary must bo wholly divorced from partisan politics. Army officers and senior civil servants arc likewise barred, unless they resign before, declaring their candidature: this Is designed to ensure that the. machinery of Government nnd Defense Is Insulated from the turbulence of the hustings.

How Are the Elections Run? In the language of the Buslc Law of the Knesset, Israel's elections are "universal, direct, equal, secret and proportional."

—They are "universal" in terms of a broadly enfranchised electorate.

—They are "equal" in the sense that every citizen has one vote, nnd only one.

—They are "direct," since the voter casts his ballot directly for the Party of hii choice.

—They are "secret." Each voter, in the privacy of the polling booth, plnccs his ballot in an opaque envelope which he seals and, in the presence of official observers, drops into the ballot box. Nolrady can see or discover how he has voted.

—And they are based on a "proportional" system. The citizen does not vote for any given candidate in person. He votes for a Party, a political philosophy, a specific election platform. He cannot "split his ticket" among the various Parties.

Each Party presents a list of candidates —up to a total of one hundred and twenty, the entire membership of the Knesset. Most of the larger Parties offer a full ticket of that number; some of the smaller ones offer less. The candidates on each list are set out in whatever order of priority the Party itself decides.

Here is how it works. If a Parly polls 50 per cent of the total of votes cast, It gets sixty seats, that is, one-half of the Knesset membership. The first sixty persons on. that Party's list arc thus elected. And so down the lists, The law provides that any Party receiving ut least one per cent of the total of votes enst may share in the distribution of seats. , ., There, is consequently no need of liy-eleclloim to fill parliamentary vacancies caused by death or resignation: any such gap is occupied by tho next man or womnn on the Party list in quest ion.

Israel's Arabs have three Parties of their own, but an Arab it naturally free to vote for any list he fancies, and indeed every Party wins some votes in Arab'areas.

In the Third Knesset there were eight Arab members, five of them belonging ho one or other of the three Arab Parties.

Who Supervises?

Supervision of the election, and the handling of its technical organization, are entrusted to a 33-mcmber Central Electioon Hoard, carefully constituted to allow a say to all political trends. The Chairman is a Supreme Court Justice, selected for tho task by his fcllow-judges. The members arc appointed by the Parties in the outgoing Knesset, each Party being entitled, roughly, to one nomination to the Board for every four seats it holds in that Knesset; each of the smaller Parties that is represented by less than four deputies in the Knesset gets a seat on the Board as well.

The Hoard has five major tasks: (1) Bet ting up and supervising tho Regional Election Boards, which, in turn, name the Local Hoards; (2) accepting the lists of Parties; (3) coping with nil the technical and administrative arrangements for tho election; (4) "policing" the campaign to nmlie sure the rules are obeyed; nnd (5) counting the ballots and certifying and publishing the results.

To prevent extravagance and to obviate unfair advantage to Parties with much money to spend, the law circumscribes election propaganda. Among the things forbidden are: entertainments to attract the public to election meetings; the use of loudspeakers, except to amplify speakers' voices at meetings; the distribution of gifts, food or drinks in the course of electioneering; film propaganda, and, for a month before the election, "shots" of-candidates on newsreels. Each Party is entitled to twentyfive minutes on the State radio, plus four minutes for every seat It had in the outgoing Knesset.

Election Eve Silent At 7 p .m. on tho night before Election Day the sound and fury of electioneering eoase, and all is silent. No public campaign meetings, no broadcasts, no sound trucks are permitted thereafter. On Election,Day itself, which Is a public holiday,

Polling Set for November 3 two thousand five hundred polling booths stuy open throughout the country from 7 a. m. until midnight. Counting of votes starts at once at the midnight hour—and •incc in most cases the law permits no more than 800-1,000 voters to be registered at any one station, the scores come in quickly to the Central Board.

Soldiers have their own booths at dispersed military establishments. Electioneering at Army posts is severely regulated: each Party may display a copy of its list, its election manifesto and notices of its outside meetings in the precincts of euch unit, but that is all.

Thirteen Parties, reflecting every munice of public opinion in Israel, were represented in the Third Knesset.

A table showing the composition of the First, Second and Third Knesset is given on these pages.

The following are the programmes of the Parlies, in the order of the numbers of their members in the Third Knesset. The definitions are as furnished by the Pnrties themselves.

MAPAI, ISRAEL LABOUR PARTY Aims at the ingathering of the Jewish people, the reclamation of the Land of Israel and a society founded on social-democratic principles.

Israel's Knesset Is Unicamera The Knesset is the Parliament of Israel, and, as in most parliamentary democracies, the most important public body of the commonwealth.

Unlllio the legislature In tho USA and Grout Britain, It U a uniciunorul bodyt there Is no Senate as In the USA, no IIOIIHC of Lords OH In Groat Britain. (Nebraska Is the only stut« In tho United States which in governed by a uiilcumeral legislature).

The members serve for four years, unless the Knesset decides to dissolve itself and hold new elections earlier.

The Knesset elects the President of the State, who serves a five-year term. Ilia duties and powers as official Head of the State, above all Parties, are, in the main, these: he entrusts a member of the Knesset with the task of forming u Government; he formally appoints Israel's judges and diplomats; he receives foreign diplomats accredited to Israel; he has power to grant pardon and commute sentences, and counter-signs all laws except those that mny concern his own prerogatives. Mr. Izhak Ben-Zvi is the second President: he succeeded the late Dr. Chaim Weizmann on December 8. 1052, and was re-elected for a second term on October 30, 1957.

Knesset KlectK Speaker The functions of the Speaker, who is also elected by the Knesset, may bo likened somewhat to those of his counterpart .in the House of Representatives or tho House of Commons. There are eight Deputy-Speakers, representing the main Parties.

The Speaker and his Deputies form the Presidium, which, together with a House Committee, regulates the Knesset's proceedings.

There lire nine Knesset Committees; to consider laws in detail after they ara initially debated in the full House, and to hear reports from Ministers and senior officals; they have authority to take certain decisions on matters of administration.

Both Government and Opposition Parties arc represented in these committees, and their Chairmen are drawn from the main Pnrties on both sides of the House.

Congressional Record The Knesset has its own "Congressional Record," a verbatim transcript of all the debates. It also has its Press galleries, and newspapers give it the same close attention and coverage that the Press in nil democracies accords to pariamentary acts and'intent ions.

The debates are conducted in llebren, but Arab inemlierh may address the, House In Arabic. Their speeches uro translated into Hebrew for the other members, nml Hebrew proceed Ings arc translated hlmultimooiiHl.v Into Arabic for their benefit.

The next will be the fourth Knesset in Israel's modern history: the first was elected in January lfl-M the second In July 1951; and the third four years later. The

Tlie lighted Menoruh which casts Its glow upon the Knesset Is a beacon of welcome to visitors npproiicliiiiK the city. name itself, as well as the nuinbci" of members, derives from ancient history. "Knesset Gedola" (Great Synod) was the designation of the centra] legislative body of Israel, one hundred and twenty strong, at the time of tiie Second Temple, over 2,000 years ago.

Meets Challenge The Knesset has f.ieed with success many a challenge of grave repsonsibility.

It has established a ho.sl of modern canons for a new State with unique find unexplored problems, adapting and modernizing the legal writ that ran under the Mandatory regime and in (lie long days when others, before that, ruled the land.

The procrdiiri'i) arc designed to make, certain that nil new legislation is comprehensively and run-fully considered. Though in most cases bills lire introduced In the Knesset by the (itiviTiimeiit. dnifls may also be put forward by private member*, or prepared by :i Knesset ('innmlttw.

A bill debated by the House in plenary session, on first reading, and, if approved in principle by a majority, is passed on to the appropriate committee, which goes over it meticulously clause by clause and line by line, and reviews any amendments thai may be suggested.

Hill Hns 3 Headings When the connniitte has completed its work, the bill is again submitted to the House in plenary M'.ssion by its chairman, for a second reading. Any member whose amendment has been rejected in committee may revive it at this stage and have it put to the \ol<- After all amendments have been considered, and accepted or rejected, a vole is (alien on the bill as a whole in its final form, in a third reiuling. If the bill is passed, it I1- M/ned. by the President and the responsible Minister or Ministers and printed in the Statute Book, so to become part of the law of the land.

The wide scope of issues which the State confronts can be discerned in the briefest catalogue of some of the more crucial laws hitherto passed by the Knesset.

Over and above normal parliamentary business on appropriations, (axes and governmental routine, legislation* was enacted on citizenship, State education, the independence of the judiciary, fl modern social insurance system, labour conditions Buch as hours of work and reft, employment of women and young people and the Settlementof trade disputes, and the abolition of capital punishment in murder cases, Kvunilns. Budget But the Knesset has more lo do than make laws. Every year it examines the

budget, which it the occasion for a series of debates on the working of the various Ministers. And from time to time there are discussions on general matters, such as foreign policy, Sabbath observance, atomic warfare, (he Zionist idea and religious education.

Any member in entitled to question the Minister concerned If lie Iliinlis tin injustice has been done or an Irregularity commit toil, mid It Is the duty of the Minister to reply.

If a member is of opinion tiial a particular subject ought, in the public interest, to be ventilated in the House, he may submit a reasoned "Motion for the Agenda." Thereupon, the Minister concerned answers, and the Knesset decides either to conduct a debate, us moved, to refer the matter to the appropriate committee, or to withdraw the motion from the order-paper.

Whenever a Party objects very strongly to any of the acts of the Administration, it has the right at uny time to move a vote, of no-confidence in the Government. On such a motion, the Knesset puts aside all other business until it has l>oen debated and a vote taken.

In these ways the people's representatives keep constant and lively vigilance over the actions of the Executive and are able to call it to account, if there seems cause so to do. The Knesset in always watchful in protection of its prerogatives and in defense of the rights and interests of the citizens, in the best tradition of parliamentary government in the free world.

Tlic Cabinet The administration of the country's affairs is in the hands of a Cabinet of fifteen or sixteen Ministers. When a new Cabinet has to be formed, the President consults with representatives of each of the Parties, and then calls upon a member of the Knesset to undertake the task.

This member, who normally becomes Prime Minister, submits to the Knesset a list of the proposed members of his Cabinet—most, but not necessarily «ll of them, members of the Knesset—with a statement of the basic principles by which it intends to be guided. If the Knesset passes a vote of confidence in the new Cabinet, the Ministers take an oath of loyalty to the State, pledging themselves to carry out the Knesset's decisions, and are then considered to be in office The Cabinet remains In power until it resign**, or until the Knesset (Misses a vote of no-confldcnce In It, The resignation of the Prime Minister is regarded an tantamount to the resignation of the whole Cabinet. After its resignation or the passing of a no-confidence vote, the Cabinet continue* to carry nout Its duties until Its succmwor I* formed.

The composition of the Cabinet is presently as follows; Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Minister of Agriculture Minister of Commerce and Industry Minister of Communications Minister of Development Minister of Education and Cultur* Minister of Finance Minister of Foreign Affairs Minister of Health Minister of the Interior Minister of Justice Minister of Labour Minister of Pollco Minister of Posts _ . • Minister of Religious Affairs Minister of Social Welfare Since none of the Parties In the Knesset has so far commanded en absolute majority, every Cabinet has depended on the support of a combination of Parties.

Yet—for all the number of Parties, the coalition form of government, and the Immensity of its political, economic and International problems—Israel hag shown a high degree of political stability. There ha8 alwnys been continuity of administration.

The Basis of Liberty In the Proclamation of Independence of Israel, of May 14, 1918, it is written: "The State of Israel . , . will rest upon foundations of freedom, justice anil peace as envisaged by the Prophets of Israel. I t will maintain complete equality of soda] and political rights for all its citizens, without distinction of creed, race or sex.

It will guarantee freedom of religion and conscience, of language, education and culture. It will safeguard the Holy Places of all religions. It will be loyal to the principles of the United Nations Charier." .

The parliamentary and local governmental institutions of Israel, democrat!-, cally elected and functioning in uccordance with the will of the people, are assurances" for the fulfilment of this high ideal.

It.was his dreams that propelled him—and us—to action; it was in his dreams—in the imponderables —that he found substunce. "Please . believe me," he wrote to Baron de Hirsch, "the political life of an entire people — particularly when that people is scattered throughout the entire world—can be set in motion only with imponderables floating high in the air . . . What?

You do not understand Imponderables? And what is religion? Bethink yourself what the Jews have endured for two thousand years for the sake of this fantasy."

This was Herzl's language of faith, spoken with the voice which is the voice of the Jews through the centuries.

Vision Is a Reality Today, the vision is a reality.

In addressing the third Zionist way: we wish to lift oursclvs to a bring forth advancement for the cance to us all. And if this he dreaming, then let us dream with Congress, he declared: "The pres- higher level or morality, work for Humanity which we serve."

This is the utterance of a man all our might. ent condition of the Jews can lead j the common weal, build new roads meaning of the holiday was explained; the story of the return from Babylon, the Second Temple, the Maccabees. Our friend told his Throdor• HI.T/1 children what he knew. To be sure that was not much, but the children enjoyed it. When the second feeling came over him. In his fa- taper was lighted they told the ther's house, too, when he. was a boy these little candles shone, and there was a familiar tenderness about them, "So is the tradition handed down from father to son, one candle lighting the other," he thought to himself.

The shape of the Menorah also set him to thinking. When was it first designed?

"It was evidently copied from the form of a tree," he Kaid to himself. "In the middle there is a strong trunk and to the right and left four branches, one growing from under the other and nil equally tall. Later, a ninth short branch was added which is called the "Servant of the Light."

How many secrets have the ages whispered into this work of art, copied from nature? And the mart wondered if it was possible to make the Menorah live again, to water its roots, like the roots of a tree. He liked the sound of the name, too, MENORAH, which he repeated every evening to his children. And how lovely the name sounded when spoken by a child.

At the first festival evening the first taper, was lighted and the

The Servant of the Light A Story by Dr. Once upon a time there lived a man who was very sorry that he was a Jew. He w a s very well off, and his profession should have made him happy because he was an artist and so could make whatever his heart desired.

He had long since ceased to trouble himself with being a JewWhen the old Jew-hatred broke out in the land where he lived.

Like many others, this man believed that the persecution would soon pass away. But the persecution did not pass way, but grew worse and the fresh attacks upon his people hurt him very much though they did not affect him.

Now it happened that our man felt a great change of feeling because of the persecution. He was gradually led back to Judaism and goon came to love its greatly. And to powerful was this love that it finally grew into one great idea.

That the only way out of the Jews' Vnhapiness was a return to Judaism.

When his friends heard of this they thought the man mad, for to their minds to be real Jews meant to be treated still more harshly.

This man, however, thought that the condition of the Jews was bad because they had lost that feeling of independence which their forefathers had. For these opinions he Was scoffed at, and many laughed to his face.

But he patiently bore the unkind jests and did not let himself be led astray by men whom he knew were not very good men, and as he seem so pleasant about it all and hurt no one, he was allowed to keep to his wild ideas, as people called them.

Even he, of course, had some difficulty to live according to his new thoughts. He had picked up many non-Jewish habits and ways nnd he could not help behaving a little as the people among whom he mixed behaved. Then he decided that if he himself could not entirely return to Judaism he would see to it that his children did. So he took care that his children were set on the right road and were brought up as Jews.

Up to the present, our man had known nothing of the Jewish holidays but when Chanukah came around with its memories of the great Maccabees, he eagerly used this festival to show his children Borne of the glories of- Jewish history and to teach" them loyalty to their nation while they were still young.

A menorah was borrowed and as be held the nine-branched candlestick for the first time a strange

Taper after taper was lit on the Menorah and (he father and children gazed at them dreamingly.

The eighth day came when the whole row of candles burned, the

The Menorah was all ablaze.

The eyes of the children were hining happily. And to our man t, all seemed as if a new nation »iis awakening. First one taper— ml it yas still dark and the loney light looked gloomy; then the aper found « companion, and then mother companion, and another, ml another. It was complete light.

"Whnt a wonderful sight It will ie when the tapers of our nation urn like those of the Menorahl u)d how happy shall we bo who, Ike the 'servant' shall bo a serant of the light!"

ity of Jerusalem I';

Twelve cornerstones, symbolic of the twelve tribes of Israel, were laid by the late Chaim Weizmann at the founding of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem on Mt. Scopus in 1918.

Today, hailed as a major world center of learning and scholarship, the university has built a new campus among the rocks which abound in the &rea of Givat Ram—Steep Hill — Jerusalem. The university was cut off from its original site on Mt. Scopus following the establishment of Israel in 1948.

Since then, it has made tremendous strides. Training and research are provided to turn out the farm experts, scientists, doctors, dentists, pharmacists, economists, lawyers, librarians and social workers needed so urgently by the growing state.

Archaeologists on the faculty have made history with important excavations and with the deciphering of the Dead Sea Scrolls and other treasures of the past.

Dr. Benjamin Mazar, eminent archaologist and historian, who as its president, heads a distinguished staff of scholars.

The University is open to all students on the basis of their academic qualifications wiftopf distinction cis t© race, creed or national origin. Some 50 countries are represented among the students whose total number is 5,000 and includes 100 Arabs.

As it begins its fifth decade dedicated as always to the service of Israel and all humanity, the Hebrew University stands as a symbol of social justice taught by the prophet who said "Out of Zion Shall Come Forth Torah and the Word of the Lord From Jerusalem."

Bonn (JTA)—Thousands of West German children returning to school this week will read for the first time about Nazi concentration cumps and the massacicb of millions of Jews and other civilians, in new history booke distiibuted to the schools.

The significant feature of the new school books is that they officially confirm, for the first time', the existence • of concentration caning and throw the onus for the Reichstag fire on Marshal Her-.

mnnn Gooting. They also describe how Gel-many, under the Nazis, ''sank Into a period of horror crentcr than she ever experienced before."

The publication of the new tcxtbooltii is a victory for West German education authorities and a number of voluntary groups- several of them Jewish—who have been trying for years to supply independent background information on the Nnzl period to the younger generation.

New year's Edition—THE JEWISH I'll ESS—Kosh UuKliaiiuli 5720

Our Rabbis' Messages Beth

I have the suspicion that many Jewr smile indulgently when they Hiink of the naive folklore of our ancestors on the idea of the High Holy Day Season. In this folklore- and it has entered the most solemn liturgy of iho.se Days of Awe -the time is a time of judgment, God is the Chief Justice of 1h'? Universe, and the 111:111 stands 11 the defendant.

Any one who think of this as naive and smiles indulgently at. it has a lot to learn about life. Our ancestors were masters of tin; parable, a literary device lo male important ideas crystal clear, understandable even to unlettered mid simple-minded people. Bui OIK must be simple-minded indeed not to recognize thai Judaism, in this parable, is teaching the moral refipomiUlity of man. Life matters; > wi do or fan to do is important; we are beings created in the divine image, and we have responsibilities to perfect our world. Not only on flash haShnnah, bul every day, miin stands under judgment: has he fulfilled his duty to create the Kingdom of God? This is the idea underlying the. l>ay of Judgment. .Spell it out in terms of personal commitments: Will you wail till next, yeav, or the next, or the next, to lc^rn Hebrew? to learn Jewish history? to attend services on a regular bnsis? to fill your home "with the Sabbath spirit' to bring Judaism into your lifi as a vital and motivating force?

No Jew should allow the High Holy Days to pass without his understanding the real spiritual undergirding beneath the folklore of the Days of Awe, and without, grappling with the problems of man's duty before God.

A Very Happy

What an argument, that, was! | telephone director. It wasn't lisled.

Km- a calm man. 1 certainly was cxciled that evening.

11 happened nearly eleven years Jigo. We had imiled Harney and his wife over to see our new Iclovision sel. We were watching ;i news program and the commenta1oi' announced that, a truce had just been signed between some of the Aral) countries and the Stale ol Israel, Naturally, 1 spoke up rnthiisiai.lirally about this turn of events and expressed the opinion 1hal Israel would now be able to build itself in an atmosphere of pence' and progress.

From the look that Barney gave nil', you would think that I had just been reciting some nonsense rhymes out of Alice in Wonderland., Sonic people are hard-boiled lealisls, but the kind 1 can't stand are those who go mil. of their way to prove il - even if il. means boasting of their ignorance. Barney set out lo prove his hard-headedncss by supposing that he was a credit manager and J was a representative of Israel, applying for u loan.

After all, running a country is just, like running a business, he figured, so would I care to list. Israel's assets? You could tell from ]ns attitude that, he didn't, believe 'Hint anyone could prove to him 1hal Israel had any assets, or, if Hiere were nny, they didn't amount to much.

Wlien I mciiliiincd Israel's latent natural resources, he laughed. According fit him, in nil llm years that (irr.ui Itritair. had had the mandate over Palestine, (hey hadn't discovered any rVally yiilnahle mineral deposits—In the Nc» jjev desert or elsewhere—and no one could say Hicy didn't hawt capiililn engineers. When I mentioned Ihc human assets* (hi; people of Israel, he shook his head, pointing out Unit :i large part of llm population was either too old or broken in health and spirit from their ••rushing experiences In llm DJ' <•iimiiH.Aii.vuay, In; thought that •IcwN basically city duellers, not farmers or road builders. lie prodded me to name more assetfi—did 1 want to consider the tin huts and canvas tents as "real developments"—or did In want to include such "intangible" assets us the good will of Israel's Arab neighbors?

I'm not a violent man, but Barney's barbs brought the blood to my cheeks. I felt disgusted and revolted by his cullottsne.ss and his smub "omniscience." Without trying to mince words, I launched into n point-by-polnt refutation of his snap judgments; Anyone who wn« familiar with the Bible knew that the Land of Israel contained a wide variety of metals and minerals and that King Solomon had devised smelting furnaces to process the copper which was mJned

That meant he had. probably i moved away. Oh well, the post; office would forward it, no doubt. !

Several clays later, the New ; Year's card came back, slampcd ; "Itemoved — Korwnrding Address I Unknown." iVIy wife -seemed to recall that the Gordons had moved out to one of the. suburbs many years ago. I watched as she "filed" the envelope in the center drawer of the desk. You know, it. really seemed to me. Ihc; appropriate place to put this .scntlmcntul geslure towards the past-—this New Year's card which 1 had addressed in llie .spirit of "cleaning the slate."

Hut the strnngest part of this New dear's card hidden I happened ii few dit.VH later, just before Itosli Hnsliiinah. I received it letter from Inrae!—from ISanicy (iorduii!

Edition—THE JEWISH WtESS—Kosli Haslmnnli 5720,

Forty-nine^

The Many Faces of Israel By f.illi.m Uaral Can you imlwinc yourself drawing water from t> well which Abraham, Isaac and Jacob used? .Standing on the spot where David .slew Goliath? Or seeing the placr Where Jesus turned water into wine? If these ideas excite you, then Modern Israel—where history meets the future--is the place I'm Where else can you pick lilies In Ihe Valley of the Sharon—and almost hear the words of the Song Oi SOUKS? Or .swim in the waters which refreshed David and Solojr.on, Samson and Delilah?

Past (.'nines Alive In Israel, the pages'of Ihe past fomo to life before your eyes with the same distinct, dynamic sound us her actual and vibrant present.

And the rhythm of Israel's present-—of her up-lo-date and modern Jife—is as exciting as the echoes ol her epic past. li very where you lum, now hotels, new roads, new beaches, new cities spring up be fore you.

And everywhere I here is a spirit ol enthusiasm. Whether Ihe Israeli operates a crane or sits at an outdour cafe—whether he turns a lathe or listens to ft concert— whether he lays a pipe or lies on 1he beach, attends a theatre or nightclub—he does it with complete wholeheartedess, and no airs. lie has a vitality and joy that Kiniply sweeps you along. And you feel as though you are touching the pulse of n lusty, newborn child.

I.ovo of Liberty III Israel, n modern tempo and the biblical past'contrast, live side by side, and intimately intertwine.

The same vast variation and fusion prevails -nmong her people, for they come from more than 70 countries of the East and West.

Their customs are different; their costumes are different; even their mode of eating nnd walking is different. But thoy have one thing in common, n love of liberty.

Hez'e are slender, graceful Yemenites, wearing jewelled hoods and b e a u t i f u l l y embroidered pantaloons; expansive Bokharians in gaily-patterned floral robes; Kur•listani who seem to have walked out of a Persian painting; North Africans, Rumanians, Poles, Germans, Russinns, Arabs, Druzo, Canadians, Americans, native-born •'Sabras"—Israelis all. Some may walk with a lilt, some with a bit of a stoop, but after a while they «)l take on the gait of freedomtin ercctness, a free throw of the head, a self-assured step.

While you see all types of people and costumes in Tel Aviv and Haifa and hear every language including Knglisb, you think that you have walked into the very pages of the Bible when you visit Jerusalem, Nazareth or Acre.

Quiet, Dignified Jerusalem Jerusalem "Is enveloped by a quiet, worshipful dignity, particularly on Friday and Saturday. Men with long earlocks dressed in their best satin robes and fur-trimmed lints (12 furtails make up the irinuniiiK to symbolize the 12 tribes of Israel) slowly walk with their sons and Kraniisons to the different synagogues. Varied tunes of worship resoiindlhrougliout the 3Ioly City as the men come out to greet Ihe "Queen of the Sabbath."

Here you feel the presence of Patriarchs and Prophets,' Holy men iin<l KhiKS.

•

In the Galilee, the Bible conies 1o life In a different way. Alongside new. tractors, you suddenly come upon the old-fashioned methcd of threshing' grain. A donkey goes round and round In circles, pulling a solid slab of wood which separates the grain from the chaff.

Jn Hie distance, a shepherd plays n nine to the grazing sheep. The whole pastoral scene seems "to beJong," blending as it docs into tho mulive landscape of Nazareth or the beautiful Sea of Galilee.

Bible—-Way of Life In Nazareth, you feel the Bible jiot only through the 24 Churches rind their resounding bells, but in Ihe way of life, Veiled nnd barefoot women with long-flowing robes carry clay pitchers on their heads as In the days of 2,000 years figo. They stop to gossip at Mary's Well, or to buy tome spices at one of the tiny stalls that line the nnr-

Israel Govt. Tourist Office Photo

A FLIGHT OF ONLY 4>/2 HOUHS from Home brought this American tourist couplo to a new world in Israel. They had breakfast in Rome, lunch in Jerusalem, and now you see them in the Crusader town of Aero, watching an oged Israeli at his ancient method of weaving. It Is one of tho fascinations of Israel that tourists can see craftsmen in the street make oxotic jewelry, rui's', baskets and copper souvenirs with skills that date baclt to tho days of the Biblo. According to tho Israel Government Tourist Office, Increasing numbers of; Americans are extending their trip to Europe- with a visit to Israel, This year, Israel expects 100,000 tourists to help celebrqto the Golden Jubilee of modern Tel Aviv.

row, winding, cobbled streets of the city. Donkeys, camcla and chickens walk along tho streets and courtyards as freely as do men, women and children. Past Nazareth, you como to C a n a, Capariuuim, Mount o( the Sermon, Sen of Galilee and other landmarks where events of the New Testament took place, In the Crusader town of Acre, there is a different mood. As In Nazareth, baggy, middle-eastern pants and turban-like headgear called "Uefiyah" prevail. But Acre, you find men sitting cafes, playing a game of checkers called "shesh-besh," smoking their "nargillah" or water-pipe, while shouting "sabra, sabro," nama of the juicy cactus fruit.

Snlira Fruit Is Favorite The sabra fruit is a favorite among all Israelis. As n matter of fact, new food habits reflect the fusion of the different cultures hero. While you find all kinds of restaurants—from the VlenneBO to the Chinese—It's the "felafel" and "glidn" stands to which all Israelis flock, regardless of their country of origin, "Felafel" Is a highly spiced mixture of small peppers and pickled cucumbers served between tho halves of a leaf-thin, round bread called "pitta." I t has become the "hot dog" of Israel.

And you may have guessod It— ice cream, called "glldn" or "eskimo" and coffee expresso have become the other " n a t i o n a l dishes."

T'le felfafel and glida stands BiicJ'outdoor cafes are particularly prevalent in Tel Aviv nnd Haifa,, two cities that have the beat of the 20lh century. Both cities Healong Israel's HO-mile Mediterranean const-line. Only sand and dunes 50 years ago, Tel Aviv* today is the home of the International Airport of Lod, of the Israel Philharmonic, of many theatres, dance troupes, museums, beautiful shops.

And while the music pouring from thp outdoor cafes gives the city nj flavor of Paris or Rome, the movie marquees, neon lights and general tempo of the city remind you of New York, Hnifn, rising like a wedding cake from the Mediterranean shore, is recognized as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I t has luxurious hotels and gardens, excellent beaches and shops, breathtaking views and is the springboard for a tour of the Galilee.

From Haifa you may go back to Tel Aviv and then on to the Deud Sea, lowest spot on earth.

Surrounded by fields of salt, you think that you have just missed the Destruction of Sodom arid Gemorruh and are now witnessing the birth of a new day.

Perhaps Eilat is Israel's best symbol of a new era. To reach this port on the Red Sea, you pass the fabled nnd awe-inspiring King .Solomon's mines. T o d a y , new

mines are working here again. In Eilat itself, the first building to greet you after your Journey through Israel's Negev desert, is tho streamlined Hotel Eilat. A lonely outpost two years ago, Eilat has new hotels, new homes, new schools, a new and active port and a beautiful beach, Tho Red Sea itself has a magnificent jungle of corrals nnd some 8,000 varieties of fish, turning Eilat into a favorite tourist mecca.

Perhaps the man who stood beside hla son in Haifa 10 years ago put it best. Weary from their long trip, the little boy asked, "Is this the end of our journey?"

"No," the father replied,"—the beginning."

Today, tourists feel the same way, Israel is the beginning—of an exciting adventure through time and space.

Heeauw; of the comprehensive scope of the worlt, the Qanun was studied throughout Kuvopean universities for over six centuries and Ibn Sina came lo be known as the Prince of Physicians.

Manuscripts of tlie CJauun were wiilel circulated dliri'nj; tbe author's own life-time. Within one f%\ century j | . was studied in Spain, %0\& BH\3 *"-&« mid in 1279, it. was translated from the Arnnic Into Hebrew by Natlian MORTUARY Jla-meati who also translated Mnimomdes' medical works.

•These later served as a basis for many of the .subsequent Latin editions of the Qanun. Throticli the translations of scientific works from Anibio into Hebrew and then from Hebrew into Latin, the Jews nerved as intcrmedmtors in the transmission of science from Kast to West and in the revival of classical Icuming.

Jewish immigration at the time of Nebuchadnezzar's persecutions.

The Judaic tribe of the Falashas dates from that time." . It is of signifinncc that the official publication-anil the KlhOpians in general- differentiate the expression "Jews" which they use in reference to the people . who fled from Palestine, and "Judaic" used in reference to the Falashas, whom they consider as one of ihe numerous indigenous Ethiopian tribes.
