noZonist leaders to active participation in the Jewish
Agency lies the fact that Israels demands upon American
Jewry to increase Hence Dr. Goldmann sup

of the opinion that the Zionist movement must face up to
the problem of giving the nonZonss voice in determining
WISE and in the interests of Israel to have broader elements
of the American jewish community directly responsible for

Especially since is that most leaders in Israel
regardless of party afaon beginning to get worried
the slackenng off of the Zionist movement in this
country These Israeli leaders have the feeling that the
Jewish people not fully behind the state and that the
Zionist movement in America has done little since 1948 to
mobilize this type of support They also point out that the
United Jewish Appeal has maintained status and that
income from the Israel bond drive the downgrade while
Israels financial position difficult today than
two years ago They maintain that Israes only weapon
against all kind of dcutes-nternal well in the field
of foreign affarss the Jewish people whole And
they all certain that the leaders of the Zionist
ment do the job alone The non-Zonst leaders in
America have the other hand proven themselves very
devoted to Israes interests Dr. Goldman and others who
strongly favor the enlargement of the Jewish Agency
therefore, why should not be brought
into the Agency executive New York and thereby increase
American Jewrys responsibilities towards Israel The

THE NON-ZIONIST ISSUE
BY BORIS SINCLAIR

None of the non-Zionist leaders in the Uni
ted States have as yet been approached to join
the Jewish Agency, as advocated by DR.. Ma
hum Goldman and other top Zionist leaders
=. But they will be approached soon after the
Jewish Agency executive concludes its plen-
airy session early in July In all probability
the non-Zionist leaders will be invited to join
the Agency as individuals and not as repre-

QUESTION: Is this fast and
mourning period applicable to our
times in light of the re-establish-
ment of the State Of Israel? I'M.
T.. Augusta. Gal
ANSWER: The Bible (Zacha-
riah 8:19) does prophesy that fast
days such as this one shall some
day be converted into days of
feasting and merriment. One can
hardly say though that all is at
peace in Israel. Certainly, Jeru-
salem is still a thorny problem.
The country of Israel is still
faced with imminent dangers. An
era of universal peace, such as
the prophet did prophesy is not
ours as yet. Finally, of course, it
shall be up to the proper Rabbinic
authorities to proclaim the end
of these fasts when the proper
time does eventually arrive, to
fulfill all the qualifications ac-
cording to Jewish Law and Ira
dition.

QUESTION: What is the Fast
of the Seventeenth of Tamuz (oc-
curing this year on June 30th)?
IA. T.. Asheville. N. C.)
ANSWER: The Mishnah (Trac-
tate Taanit 3:6) cites five tragic
events that occurred on that par
ticular day. The tablets bearing
the Ten Commandments were
broken by Moses on that day in
his utter desperation over the
idolatrous sin of the Golden Calf,
causing a calamity to fall upon
the people of Israel. The Daily
offering in the Temple called the
"Tamid" ceased on that day in
the days of the first Temple. The
city of Jerusalem was preached
on that day in the days of the
second Temple under the reign of
Titus. Apostomus, the Syrian
General burnt the scrolls of law
on that day. The same tyrant set
up an idol in the temple on that
day bringing dissertation to the
place of holiness. It is held that
this is the fast mentioned by the
Bible in the Book of Zachariah as
the East of the fourth month"
(Zachariah 8:19).
= = y 4
QUESTION: What is the period
known as the three weeks?
IF. r.. Hendersonville. N. co.
ANSWER: Beginning with the
fast of the Seventeenth of Tamuz
a three-week mourning period is
initiated in memory Of the de-
struction of the Temple in times
Of old. Various restrictions are
leveled during this period. Mar
riages are prohibited. Blessing
over new things is delayed until
after this period. Some even re-
frain from eating meat and wine
(save on the Sabbath) during this
period, although some observe
this latter prohibition only during
the last nine days of this period.
The prophetic portions used for
the Haphtorahs of these weeks
usually are m d e up of texts
which utter the punishments and
destruction which were protested
amongst the people of Israel in
return for their crimes of idolatry
among other sins.
