Jewish Education A Necessity

staffed wellplanned programmatically,
our schools give youngsters a solid foun-
dation of the history of our people, the
language of our Book, the culture of
nation that remained together in the dia-
spora despite thousands of years of per-
secution.
Our schools give youngsters a proper
BACKGROUND in the values and ethics of
our people-ethics and laws which are
the basis for Americas laws of justice.
Enrolment in our schools already is
being accepted and while modern psychla-
trists warn against raising your children
without religious training, our sages
urged such education thousands of years
ago.

them left Babylonia for Judea.
Prof Zeitlin goes into lengthy historical
developments to show that the name Is
rael disappeared after the period of Ezra
the prophet. He cites the fact that even
in the Book of Esther the name Israel IS
not mentioned . Mordecai is called
there a Judean, a Jew, and the word eye
hudim', Judeans, appear throughout the
book
After the destruction of the Second
Temple and particularly with the rise of
Christianity when Christians maintained
they were the true Israelites-th term
Judeans was abandoned. The Jews called
themselves Israelites in order to combat
the contentious of the Christians. The
term "Knesset Israel'-the Assembly of
Israel-was coined and the word Judean
no longer appeared in the Talmud.
The word Israel was used and the term
Jew, judaism became the term for rell-
gion.
Against this background, Prof. Zeitlin
discusses the issue of "who is Jew" and
his answer is: "A Jew is anyone who is
born of a Jewish mother or one who mas
embraced Judaism, regardless of whether
he observes or does not observe the pre-
cepts." He backs up this definition by
citing numerous historical facts concern
ing the Jewish religion.
And he advises the religious leaders OF
Israel to have the foresight, wisdom ana
courage" to adjust their Interpretation OF
religion to the present religious and social
needs of the Jewish people. He empha-

EDITORS NOTE: The following column
was written during recent West Coast trip. The
first OF a series, this article discusses a visit to
Camp Ramah the western camp for youth spon-
sored by the conservative movement, the United
Synagogue Organization)
OJAI, CAL.-In this picturesque valley and noun
tain setting rests Camp Ramah a camp devoted to
Jewish and Hebrew learning for the youth of the
west.
We came into camp quiet Monday Through
out the camp there were small study groups beneath
clusters of trees The youngsters have arts crafts
and athletics but religious training is of prime import
Throughout the day, even to asking for slice
OF bread at meal times the youngsters speak in He
brew
Camp Ramah is directed by Rabbi Chain Potok,
a youngish man who keeps the religious atmosphere
by wearing a yarmulke and the outdoors spirit by
wearing shorts
THE RABBI although he dresses casually is no
westerner In fact he is all New York. feature that
to our way of thinking, has some serious drawbacks
To illustrate this, here is part of our conversation
with Rabbi Potok
We asked him where the staff was trained
almost all staff leaders are brought out
from the east Rabbi Potok replied 1--WE feel there
aren't qualified persons in the west who can do the
job we want to- I'm sure you know that the level of
Jewish training and learning in the west cannot be
compared in the slightest with the level in New York"
Even Los Angeles, where there is University
OF Judaism, sponsored by the conservative movement
and many other institutions of higher Jewish learn
ing is considered weak Jewish area by the Rabbi
THERE is LITTLE DOUBT that New York City
is hub of American Judaism.
But it wouldn't surprise me that with a bit of
patience the educators from New York could uncover
some rather talented Jewish scholars west of the
Mississippi.
1t seems to be an unfortunate habit of New York
ers to be pitifully jaundiced when they look away
from their own city-and don't shout at me, was
a New Yorker!
Talking with Rabbi Potok we wondered how he
rated the Jewish educational ability of Tucson young
sters. Several have attended Camp Ramah and have
benefited from what appears to be very fine edl-
catona program
Mrs. Chanin asked Rabbi Potok if he thought
children from the Tucson area who attended camp
well educated as youngsters from the Los
Angeles area
II would say they were about equal to the chill
dren from Los Angeles" Rabbi Potok replied and
then he added in his COOL voice. "Of course you
can't compare learning in the west to that in the
east"
Of this the Rabbi already had convinced U.S. And
perhaps he had convinced that it necessary to
bring camp leaders to Ojai all the way from the east
But when he told us that most of the 25 camp
table walters also were imported from the east, we
shook our heads.
Perhaps, in some peoples eyes, We westerners
are only Yontevdike Jews but certainly we can set
a table as we'll as New Yorker!

Urges Aid
For Israel

(EditcrS Note: The fol-
lowing article was written
by Mrs. Charles S. Kalb,
Tucson B'nai Birth Wom-
ems leader, following her
return from the district
four B'nai Birth conven-
tion.)
EDITOR:
The 1900 men and women
who were present in the main
ballroom of the Ambassador
Hotel, Los Angeles recently
at the opening session of the
B'nai Birth district four con-
vention, of which I was one,
were spellbound by the key
note speaker of the evening,
d. Abraham L. Sachar.
DR.. Sachar is not new to
the halls of the B'nai Birth
Order, having been for at
least two decades, leader of
the worldwide B'nai Birth
FIillel Foundations, and still
is, an honorary member of
the National Commission. DR..
Sachar spoke with warmth
of his years of association
with B'nai Birth and said it
provided him with mental
and S spiritu u a experiences
which enabled him to assume
the presidency of a Univer-
sity such as Brandeis.
The outstanding portion of
DR.. Sachar's talk and the
message it contained is, of
course, my reason for writ
ing you. 1t was what DR.. Sa-
char said about the challenge
by Russia which America
faces today. We have to have
the "guts" (and "guts" was
the word DR.. S. used) to see
through the insults, ranting
and raving of the Russians;
their technique to weaken
and break through our arm
ors by attrition; watching for
that breakdown of our stami-
ma to withstand their fictiti-
Gus propaganda. He said that
this present implacable enc
my is, although, it may be
unbelievable to some of us,
much worse than Hitlerism.
We must, therefore, DR.. Sa-
char continued, see the prob
lem through by helping the
proper leadership throughout
our Government to maintain
this strength which they will
sorely need to withstand the
challenge.
This stamina which our
Government leaders need is
the same quality, DR.. Sachar
said, that is needed by our
leaders in Jewish communal
life today. The area DR.. Sa-
char specifically pointed out
which needs this strong deter
mination ITO see the problem
through" is the United Jew
ish Appeal or, as we know it
in Tucson, the Combined
Jewish Appeal.
DIR. Sachar strongly urged
that We continue our efforts
on behalf of Israel and our
co-religionists in other coun-
tries who still need our aid.
We must not wait for an
other Hitler debacle, a Polish
or Hungarian episode to trig-
ger our help to these peoples.
Some of us are tired, DR..
Sachar, went on to say, "We
did our share, let the others
take over" This is what we
must not do! Stamina must
be the watchword, tired tho
we may be. We have to have
the "guts" to see it through!
The work We have begun
in the State of Israel is not
completed, our responsible
ties are not yet over. We
