Local Zionists Pinch Hit

For Natl. Candidates

End of a Road
Sholem Asch seemingly hoped to utilize his recent visit to
Israel as a means of rehabilitating himself in the Jewish world.
But his double-talk there only intensified the question mark about
his religious orientation.
His contention that he was being maligned by Jews for seeking
what he termed a "rapprochement" between "two brothers" was
lacking both in conviction and sincerity. We are all striving
toward the improvement and betterment of Jewish-Christian
relations, but not at the price Asch seems to suggest in his novels
on Christian themes.
Asch said he was "convinced that all our troubles came from
Isolation." Since he made the assertion in connection with what
he complained was the penalty he was paying "for writing my
books." the assumption is inevitable that he intended the term
"isolation" to denote religious rather than social separateness.
Presumably then Asch's cure for this type of 'isolation" is con-
joining with the majority faith and forging a synthesis out of the
historic and basic antithesis. Simply speaking. Asch again advo-
cates the discredited Judeo-Christian equation.
If this great novelist wishes to relinquish, or render innocuous.
the basic tenents of Judaism for the sake of getting along with
the world, it is his privilege to do so whether the motivation is
cowardice or conviction. We to whom "kiddush hashem" is more
than a mere theme for a novel are not prepared to take the road
of least resistance--the road to spiritual and religious perdition.

A JTA cable from Tel Aviv
this week brought glad tidings
to William Hordes. well known
community and Zionist leader.
His aunt, 72-year-old Sarah
Hecht. has reached Israel on the
Soviet exit visa Number One and
has, at last, rejoined her family.
She also is the aunt of two other
Detroiters, Mrs. Philip Zimmer-
man and Mrs. Abraham Scheuer.
Mrs. Hecht, whom Mr. Hordes
last saw in 1936 on his visit in
Russia. arrived at the Lydda Air-
port in Israel on an Israeli plane.
The JTA cable reveals that she
received special permission from
Josef Stalin to leave the Soviet
Union.
Mrs. Hecht hits not seen her
two sons, who are members of
the collective settlement Degan-
iah Beth in Israel. for 32 years.
She applied for her , exit visa
two years ago and at the same
time her sons appealed to the
Soviet Legation in Israel to in-
tervene with Moscow to permit
her to emigrate to the Jewish
state.

Upon her arrival at Lydda she
was met by her sons, seven
grandchildren and three great-
grandchildren.
The Hordes family had the
thrill of a trans-Atlantic tele-
phone conversation with Mr&
Hecht between Detroit and De-
ganiah on Monday.
