The UJA Turns To The Youth

and welfare introduced by Jews way back
in the Biblical times.
UJA AMONG STUDENTS: The Unit
ed Jewish Appeal has now embarked on
ish students in colleges and universities.
These activities are being carried on un-
der the slogan Take Your Rightful Place
in the Jewish Community through the
United Jewish Appeal"
Since World War II, campaigns con-
Quoted among Jewish students at Amerl-
can colleges and universities have con-
tributed compar lively substantial
amounts to Jewish overseas, national and
local causes. In 1947, students raised more
than $136,OOO among themselves. In 1948,
the year Israel was established, they raised
more than $175,OOO Since then, they have
continued to contribute S significa mt
amounts to Jewish causes.
Hillel clubs of Jewish students have
actually created number of Jewish Wei
fare Funds and initiated responsible Jew
ish community action in many places
where no organized Jewish community
life existed in the past. Jewish student
campaigns have been organized in every
university and college which has sizable
enrolment of Jewish students. These cam
paigns are now regarded as an essential
adjunct of Jewish student life.

Boris Snolar:

THE NEW SPIRIT: United Jewish
Appeal leaders are now flirting with the
idea of convoking nationwide conference
of Young American-born Jews active in
local Jewish communities. None OF them
is to be older than 80 years.
The idea emanates from the fact that
a new spirit is now noticeable among
Young American Jews with regard to
their obligations as Jews To great many
of them, the UJA is not merely an organl-
zation raising funds for Israel and Tor
needy Jews in other overseas countries
They see in the UJA deeper significance
which appeals strongly to them as human
itarianS.
To them the UJA is the carrier of the
ancient Jewish philosophy that "al Jews
are responsible for the Well-being OF eacn
one of them" This philosophy is making
as much of an impact on many young
American Jews as does the fact that the
Jewish people of old were the first to IN
troduce a sixday working week. Or that
the Jews were the first to abolish slavery
thousands of years ago-while slavery
still exists in some countries today.
Tt gives the young Jews sense OF
pride to belong to nation which was the
first to initiate humanitarian traditions
later accepted by all modern nations. In
this spirit they approach the UJA work as
a link with the liberal traditions OF care

police to find the child and restore him to
his parents.
The grandfather charged that the
parents intended to emigrate to Russia
and that he had Jerusalem Chief Rabbi
Pessach Franks approval of the hiding of
the child Actually, the grandfather asked
the rabbi whether he has right to pre-
vent the taking of the child to Russia. The
rabbi ruled that since taking child to
Communist Russia is tantamount to cut
ting him off from Judaism, one is author
lied to do anything to prevent such an
action. The parents of the child deny firm
ly that they have any intention to emf
CRATE to Russia, in the first place and
therefore the rabbinical ruling was OBJ
tanned under false pretenses.
Since the rabbinical ruling was de-
livered before the Supreme Court ordered
the grandfather to return the child, tech
nically Rabbi Frank is not guilty of con-
tempt of court. However, having not re-
versed his decision despite the Supreme
Court ruling, he is in fact encouraging
Israeli citizens to disobey the highest
court of the land.
Three months have since passed but
the police failed to find the child. Accord
ing to their report to the court, they have
made more than 200 house searches but
were either on a false track or the child
had been moved to another place shortly
before the police arrived. The police pre-
sumo that the childs name was changed
so that even the other children with whom
he plays or studies should not know his
identity.
The police now requested the Supreme
Court to excuse them from the duty of
further search for the child They claim
that since there is, in fact general
"tacit conspiracy" among the Orthodox to
hide the child and since they have reason
to believe that the child cooperateS with
his grandparents, it is impossible to locate
him by normal police means.
To find the child many thousands of
policemen would have to be employed in
a military-like operation, sealing off all
the Orthodox quarters and carrying out
house-to-house search. The police appar
emily are not eager to do so since they are
encountering mounting hostility among
the OthodoX
The court has to rule on the police re-
quest shortly Whatever its ruling will be,
one thing seems to be certain: This affair
will become a grave addition to the accu-
mulating stocks of inflammable material
Which-unless taken care of efficiently
will sooner or later explode in major
clash between the Orthodox minority and
the non-Orthodox majority of the popula-
ton.

Women Can

THE NEWS of the Tirus

1t is especially gratifying
now since the prospect looms

JERUSALEM-JTA and Re-
ligion clashed again in Israel, this time
in the form of contradictory rulings Oh
tho S,1preme Court of the Land and or
the Jerusalem Rabbinate over the tate OF
a nine-year-Old boy.
The drama started way back IN 81
IBERIA where Nachman Starkes, a plous
disciple of the Breslav Hassldlm, TOOK
refuge with his family before the advanc-
ing Nazi Armies which conquered Poland
and the Ukraine during the Second Worlo
War. After the war was over, the family
had to stay on in their Siberian exile. IL
was there that StarkeS' daughter lta met
Alec Schumacher another young jewish
refugee Her father opposed the romance
from the very beginning mainly because
Young Schumacher was far from being
Orthodox However, after long convincing
on the part of mutual acquaintance, the
old man finally agreed to the wedding
It is no secret that one of the reasons
for his agreement was young Alec's Pollsh
nationality which enabled him - and the
entire family-to be repatriated to Poland
from Siberia and from Poland to israel
However the old mans dislike of his
son-in-law did not change with their ar
rival in Israel and he tried to persuade his
daughter to divorce her husband AS MS
grandson began to grow up, he spent more
and more time with his grandparents in
Jerusalem's ultra Orthodox Meah Shearim
quarter, where he went to "heder" and
later to yeshiva.
The parents, at the beginning, agreed
to having their child with his grandpar-
ents. but as their own material conditions
improved they demanded that the child be
returned After much evasion, during
which the grandfather allegedly said that
he would return the child to the mother
if she divorced her non-obSerVant husband,
an agreement was finally reached be-
tween the parents and the grandfather: he
would spend the school year with MS
grandparents enrolled in religious pub
lie school and not in private yeshiva and
on vacations he would go back to his par
ents.
However, the grandparents apparently
did not keep their part of the bargain, re-
fused to disclose the name of the school
to which the child was being sent and
when the father came to pick him up for
a vacation stay, the child simply disap-
peared.
The parents asked for and received
a Supreme Court injunction ordering the
grandfather to return the child to his par
ents. But he simply refused and spirited
the child away. The old man was arrested,
but quickly released again because OF his
bad health-and the court ordered the

and that must have affected
the weather.
Some say the apostrophe
of Joshua to the sun is to be
regarded as poetry. But Deb
orah won her great victory
also through the weather and
this is made very clear and
plain in the text.
The Canaanites oppressed
the Israelites for 20 years
and the Israelites could do
nothing about it, because the
Canaanites had 900 iron cha
riots and the Israelites had
not a single iron chariot.
It was like infantry going
up against armed tanks!
By all logic, the Israelites
should have been cut into
bits. But there arose a great
thunderstorm and the 900
enemy chariotS were stuck in
the mud.
"The stars in their courses
fought against Sisera," says
the Bible of this incident.
This, I believe, is the first
mention of the planets par
ticipating in a war.
THE QUESTION arises,
how could Deborah, a wom-
an who was regarded as a
leader by both men and wom-
en-, have advised the Israel
ties to attack? She could not
have known in advance that
there would be a thunder
storm.
I think the answer is-she
did know.
WOMEN HAVE a superior
intuition about the weather.
In our house, my mother
was the chief weather prog
nOSticator.
She foretold the weather
by what she called "the rain
bird" If she heard the bird
"quitchee," as they say in
Yiddish, she would tell us
that rain was coming.
Not many years back, was
at a summer vacation camp
and sitting around our table
was a good lady who had a
sure way of telling if rain
was ahead. If she started
sneezing, it was time to get
an umbrella. Everyone of us
knew about this gift of hers.
I remember we were having
lunch and talking about a
trip to a certain point during
the afternoon, when sudden
ly she Sneezed.
Everybody joined in. We
should have to postpone the
trip. There would be rain in
the afternoon.
THE MIDRASH says that
the sun sits on a golden
throne like a bridegroom. If
that is so, perhaps it explains
why the female should be
more sensitive.
Every morning, says the
Midrash, again, when the sun
starts out on it's course, it is
attended by SO angels.
How do you explain cool
weather?
The Midrash says that this
comes when the sun dips in
the ocean for a bath.

THEY WROTE some viperous things about wom-
en-, some of our great sages and students.
In the Apocrypha you find: From woman did
sin originate and because of her we all must die"
In the Mshna you find LET the Law be burned
rather than entrusted to woman
And Robert Ingersoll wrote in 1877: "As long as
regards the Bible the charter of her rights,
she will be the slave of The Bible not writ
ten by woman. Within it's lids there is nothing but
humiliation and shame for her."
Is this manly concept of the woman in Judaism
today?

It was the Bar Mtzvah of young but manly,

1t is quite some feeling you get when you listen

first you listen with keen interest to the recitation.
Then you look at the Bar Mtzvah's father and
you hold back chuckle when you think "Hmmm,
he's no youngster anymore"

BUT THIS BAS MITZVAH business I'm not so

I suppose it is nice thing to have Bar Mtzvahs
for the girls. But why won't they make Bas MitZvah

read from the Torah?
Tradition speaks against it and undoubtedly the
Rabbis will come up with very plausible explana-

Still how you justify the fact that in Judaism
