I6 — THE JEWISH NEWS

Friday, December . 3, 1948

NEW YORK—Abolition of so-
called Jewish "defense agencies"
as a necessary preliminary to the
religious reorganization of the
American Jewish community is
urged by Henry Hurwitz, editor
of the Menorah Journal, in the
current Autumn issue.
In the leading article entitled
"Towards a Noble Community,"
Mr. Hurwitz contends that in
America the only legitimate
basis for Jewish communal or-
ganization is religious, viewing
religion in the comprehensive
classic Jewish sense. He holds,
accordingly, that no secular Jew-
ish agency can properly repre,-
sent the true interests and wel-
fare of American Jewry; that, on
the contrary, they endanger the
status of American Jews.
ResponSibility for "the gallop-
ing vulgarization of Jewish life"
is placed by Mr. Hurwitz upon
such organizations as the Amer-
ican.. Jewish Committee and the
Anti-Defamation League.
To make possible this revitali-
zation of the Jewish community,
Mr. Hurwitz suggests the estab-
lishment of an assembly of rep-
resentatives from the synagogues
and temples of the country which
would supersede the present sec- .
ular organizations.
This Jewish Assembly of Rep-
resentatives in America (JARA),
Mr. Hurwitz states: "Can be in-
itiated informally . through a
meeting of rabbis and laymen
from, say, a hundred congrega-
tions."

Epstein Urges Youth
To Help Build Israel

WASHINGTON (JTA)—Eliahu
Epstein, special representative of
Israel to the United States, told
the 25th annual convention of
the Junior Hadassah here that
Israel needs the skills and knowl-
edge of young Jewish- men and
women from America to "join in
our efforts and endeavors to
make Israel a modern and pro-
gressive state in the Middle East."
"Ve need not only your moral
and material support to make
Israel strong," he said, "but also
your knowledge of how to ad
vance our creative work based on
modern principles of technical
and scientific management."
Epstein also expressed the hope
that the medical institutions of
Israel which the Hadassah and
the Junior Hadassah have helped
to build "will soon again' be able
to devote their entire efforts to
relieve the sufferings of the civil
population of Israel without dis-
tinction to race or creed." He
said it was Israel's ambition to
become a "pioneer of health and
a center of medical research,_ and
hygienic progress" serving all the
peoples of the Middle East.
Epstein told the 1,000 delegates
that "despite hostile and selfish
forces within the United Nations,
led by Great Britain, which, have
been trying to whittle down that
tiny mite of land given to us last
November, we . are morally and
militarily prepared to continue
the fight until a stable peace is
achieved." He expressed gratitude
to the United States for the aid
and assistance given to Israel and
for the recent American assur-
ance at the United Nations in
Paris "that the frontiers of our
state will not be changed without
our consent."
World Zionist philosophy has
changed to a philosophy of action
in the last year instead of one of
politics and resolutions, Prof.
Selig Brodetsky, member of the
executive of the 'World Zionist
Organization, told the conven-
tion. •
In a message from Paris, Is-
raeli Foreign Minister. Moshe
Shertok said that Junior Hadas-
sah should become the "rallying
point for young American Jew-
ish womanhood -in redoubling
efforts for an effective response
to the great historic challenge of
our generation."

Educational, Scientific and Cult-
ural Organization (UNESCO) in
Beirut, Lebanon, the American
Jewish Committee, an original
sponsoring organization of UJE-
CO, announced.
UJECO, which aids in the re-
construction of Jewish cultural
life in Europe, was authorized to
send a representative to the con-
ference. It declined the invita-
tion, together with other non-
governmental Jewish bodies and-
the state of Israel.
Invitation of Jewish repre-
sentatives was officially voted by
UNESCO on Nov. 18 over the
protest of the Lebanese delegate
that his delegation vigorously
opposed the inclusion of Jewish
observers from non-government-
al international organizations. He
was supported in this action by
Egypt, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and
Syria.
Opposition from various quar-
ters to holding the session in
Beirut was based on Lebanese
participation in aggression in
Palestine. It also was charged
that Lebanon was discriminating
against Jews in the granting of
visas for the session.

Make Sure Jews - Won't Come,
Then Invites Them to UNESCO
NEW YORK (JPS). — After
making sure that none of the or-
ganizations concerned had ap-
plied to. attend and that none
would, the conference of the
United Nations Educational, - Sci-
entific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO), meeting in Beirut,
Lebanon, approved by acclama-
tion a proposal to admit observ-
ers of Jewish international non-
governmental. organizations to the
Beirut, meeting if the organiza-
tion had applied.
Organizations concerned were
said to have been the ORT World
Union, OSE, World Jewish Con-
gress and World Union of Jewish
Students. Admission of the Jew-
ish observers was supported by
delegates of the United States,
Great Britain, Denmark, France
and Turkey. The Arab states
were bitterly opposed. Iran, Af-
ghanistan and Mexico sought
postponement of the entire mat-
ter until the UN finished with the
Palestine question.

mos t prosperous department-
store group by doing what came
naturally to Founder May in-
Leadville."

ities of Morton J. May, president

May," Nathan L. Dauby of the
Cleveland May store and Fred

Pittsburgh store and the constant

SAO PAULO, Brazil, (JTA)—
A statement disassociating them-
selves from the allegations made
by Rabbi Pincus with regard to
communal "sanctions" was made
here to the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency by the members of the
Congregation of Sao Paulo and
by the Emergency Campaign. The
statement declared that Rabbi
Pincus wanted only to define the
religious doctrine with regard to
the problem of communal sanc-
tions without referring specific-
ally to the local situation.

BUENOS AIRES, (JTA)—Ged-
alia Zuchowitzky, Israeli director
of the Keren Hayesod office here
who assumed leadership of the
United Campaign in Argentina
for Israel and for Jewish Ref-
ugees Overseas took issue with
charges made by Rabbi M. Pin-
cus of Sao Paulo, Brazil, of the
alleged imposition of communal
"sanctions" against members of
Jewish communities in Latin
America who do not contribute
to fund-raising campaigns.
Zuchowitzky emphasized that
as laste as last September Rabbi
Pincus was given an exhaustive
explanation that no such sanc-
tions were planned or carried
out.

Catholics Urge Reversal of
Ban on Religion in Schools
WASHINGTON, (JTA) — The
Catholic Bishops of the United
States, meeting here, urged the
Supreme Court over the week-
end to reverse its decision that
religious groupS may not teach
their beliefs in public schools.
The Bishops declared that they
believed lawyers "will be amaz-
ed to find that in the (Vashti)
McCollum case, the majority
opinion paid scant attention to
logic, history or accepted forms
of interpretation."
