How We Look to Look

If you haven't read the article in the Nov. 29 issue OF

study thorough and penetrating, written with insight
sympathy and understanding And it's all the extra
ordinary for having been written by Gentle, William

We can't attempt to recap the whole piece here. But
of the high points are worth noting:

O Crime divorce, delinquency and alcoholism rates
among Jews are lower than the national average

Jews Zionists not hyphenated Americans" - they
are simply Jews who favored the establishment of a
national homeland" And they aren't emgrating they're
checkbook Zionists."
O The only "Jewsh vote that's clearly dentifiable
is in few of the big cites-and only such issues as
Israel civil rights and FEPC. But Jews more often

of Israel, whose rebirth spelled the
only hope for those who escaped
the NaZi horror. Books about Is

''The Last Temptation" by Jo-

some weeks ago, and highly rec
commended. M. 2. Franks Sound

matte eyewitness accounts of many
stages in the growth of Israel. Fa-

Altogether, it has been a year OF
good reading, richer and more va
ried, I think, than in years past.
Our writer's seem to have respond
ed Sensitively and ably to an in

It's pity that Eddie Jacobson died without leaving
printed record of the role he played in the birth OF Israel
Jacobson you'll remember, was Harry Truman's great
friend from Kansas City They in business together

friendship survived however And at the height OF the
Israeli independence movement, while Mr. Truman was
president it said that Jacobson served liason be-
tween his friend and Chain Weizmann It has been gen.

the promotion of these books may
even widen and deepen our under
standing of Judaism and Jewish
life. Many books of 1855 might
serve as examples.
Let us eliminate the negative. Let
us first discuss Marjorie Morning
STAR" In this delightfully."- written
best-seller, Herman Wouk gives this
-the-millionS pitifully
limited view of American Jewish
life, in which nouvreau-riche preten-
tiousness plays major role. The
warmth and beauty and dignity OF
the Jewish life, which Wouk knows
so well, somehow fail to come
through.
Jewish life in America receives,
in this reviewers opinion, a much
truer representation in the trilogy
by Charles Angoff of which this
years "The Sun at Noon" is the
latest volume. This is the story of
the Polonsky family, which emf
grated from Russia and settled in
Boston early in the goth century. It
is readable, and mellow with under
standing.
An entirely different framework is
used in Certain People of the
Book" Maurice Samueps newest
and most brilliant work. The Bible
is the source and the scene, and
the characters are the people of
the Scriptures come to life.
Never has there been such a
book as this, fascinating in its phil
osophic approach, and frightened
with humor to delight the most
sophisticated.
For a broad picture of Judaism,
we have Theodore Casters "The
Holy and Profane," Robert Cords
Judaism in the Modern Age" Sol
ONION B. F'reehof's '"The Response
Literature" Abraham j. HeschePs
MANS Quest for God" and Louis
Ginzberg's ION Jewish Law and
Lore"-all of them making joy
of scholarship, all of them authen-
tic, all calculated to satisfy today'S
hunger for Self-knoWledge.
No year must go by in which
the tragedy of the six million is
not told and re-told. And let us
hope for writers like Soma Nor
genstern to relate it. His novel,
"The Third Pillar" is an allegory,
strong and soul-stirring, with a
depth of reverence and beauty. One
cannot read it unmoved.
It leads us naturally to the story

Movie Is An

WASHINGTON - While official

ers, others viewed IsraePs drama
tic "Hill "a"
''Hill "a Doesn't Answer" which
was premiered in Washington and
New York early this month and
soon will be seen throughout the
US, is the first feature length
production to be filmed and pro-
cessed entirely in Israel.
Mechanically, it enables
four Soldiers-an Irishman, n
American, an Israeli, and a Ye-
menite girl-who are assigned to
hold "Hill "a" to recount by flash
backs how and why they came to
be involved in the 1948 Israel War
of Liberation.
THE STORY deals with illegal
immigration, the underground
movement, the seige of the Old
City of Jerusalem, a romance be-
tween an Irishman in the British
police and an Israeli beauty, a
visit to a Druse village, and Is
raelis' personal victory over a Ma
ri fighting with the Arabs, and an
American Jews spiritual awaken
ing in the Holy Land.
The film which utilizes English
and Hebrew has a documentary
air in parts, but melodramatic
flavor generally.
Among the first weeks special
audience here were members OF
Israel's diplomatic colony. F o r
those Israelis freighted with mem
cries, the films every sequence
was loaded with emotional appeal.
One woman raved: '"That was so
exactly how it was" Another
young man personally involved in
the illegal immigration movement
was so haunted by the film that
he preferred his reverent silence.
OTHERS, NOT AS moved by the
drama, still found the film urgent
and worthy of close attention. One
gentleman recalled good-naturedly
how eagerly his friend took to the
photographing of the film. Jab
went his companions elbow!
Straight out went his finger to
point to that very spot where both
he and that actor had courageous
ly performed.
Another young fellow, more in
terested in lovely ladies than in
landscaping, remarked what an
eyeful Haya Hararit is. Miss Har-
arit won a Cannes Festival award
for her performance in the film.
Most critical observers suggest
ed that the film was "over-ambi-
tious' and tried to relate too many
incidents. These critics said an in
cident involving a Nazi, for in
stance, or the romance of the Irish
man and the Israeli girl, or the
visit to the Druse village, were
superfluous and not convincing
enough. Others thought that the
abiding trouble was not with any
particular incident but with t h e
script in general.
However, some more patient by
ISLANDERS were quick to add that
the film represented Israels initial
effort and that after all one can't
expect full grown production
from a new born industry.
