The Suburban Comm

Hebrew School Pupils Set
Example for Parents to Adopt

By the Oak-Woodser
One of the high points of
this weekend's festive celebra-
tion of the Young Israel Cen-
ter of Oak-Woods (,see story on
this page) will be an an-,
nouncement of plans to go
ahead on the second portion of
the synagogue structure.
The building of the first unit
a little over a year ago is the
cause for the anniversary cele-
bration. The second portion will
extend in back of the present
structure and to the north.
Its primary use will be for
school room classes to alleviate
the congregation's waiting list.
With an enrollment of nearly
200 pupils in its religious
school, over 100 more are wait-
ing for room so they may at-
tend.
The 'classrooms of our reli-
gious schools are used these
days for many reasons, includ-
ing the discussion :of current
events. It is interesting to note
the following correspondence
between children of the Young
Israel . Center's fourth grade
and Sen. Patrick V. McNamara
in regard to the Israel crisis:
"Dear Senator,
"For the past few weeks,
our families, friends, teachers
and classmates have been
very tense over the situation
in the Middle East. The
events have left us truly
worried. We feel that to in-
sure peace in that troubled
area of the world and to give
the State of Israel her chance
for s u r v_i v a 1 , the United
States and the world must
come to her aid with some
positive measures.
"We know that in the last
election our parents placed
their 'trust in your hands. We
request that you do your ut-
most to urge the favoring of
arms to Israel, which is the
only democratic ,country in
that part of the world.
"The situation is very des-
perate and we hope you also
feel that something . must be

done immediately and you
will do all that you possibly
can."
The letter was signed by all
of the members of the class,
by its teacher, Rev. Alfred"Ru-
bin, and Rabbi Yaakov I. Hom-
nick, spiritual leader of the con-
gregation and religious school
principal.
The letter received by the
class in reply is an indication
that our children's efforts
might well be followed by our
own in urging our Congress-
men, our State' Department and
our President for action. Sen.
McNamara's reply follows:
"I want to thank the young
members of the fourth grade
Hebrew class for your letter
commenting on the Middle
East situation.
It is true that the Israeli-
Arab picture becomes darker
each clay, and I am just as
worried as are you over the
daily turn of events. I have
been hoping that the Xdmin-
isiration would say and do
something forthright about
it. But, - so far, the President
has avoided any sort of
firm policy.
"The United Nations is try-
ing to ease the tension
through a truce. The UN
Chief is there now . . .
"This should not absolve
the President from taking
the stand that, since we are
partially resonsible for the
creation of the democratic
state of Israel, it should be
plain that, as long as we have
anything to do with it, Israel
is here to stay. The sooner
the Arabs recognize this fact,
the sooner there will be
peace in the Middle East.
`-`I had hoped that Israel
could celebrate her eighth
anniversary as the democra-
tic bulwark in the Middle
East under happier condi-
tions. But it seems to be her
fate to . be constantly be-
leaguered.
"I sincerely hope that the
dawn that "Hatikvah" sings
about will come."
