Closes Season with
Noted Scholars
Triple-Play Combination Turns Up
a 'Foul-Ball' in Prof. Von Leers
Current thoughts by noted
leaders on contemporary Jewish
life highlighted the closing in-
stitute of the season at Camp
Bnai Brith, Starlight, Pa., re-
cently.
In commenting on the authen-
ticity of the Dead Sea Scrolls,
which he said pre-date the
Christian Era, Dr. Immanuel
Ben-Dor, deputy director of the
Israel Department of Anti-
quities, called attention to close
parallels in the teachings of
Jesus and those mentioned by
the Teachers of Righteousness
in the Scrolls.
"Both," Dr. Ben-Dor said,
"apparently advocated an as-
cetic life and some measure of

Criminal Nature of the Jews,"
Prof. Von Leers wrote, "Jews
are hereditary criminals. Jewry
is not a people like other
people, nor the result of some
race mixture, but it represents
the principle of anti-God. It is
Satanism in action."

A second faculty member of
the Institute, Dr. Robert Gordis,
of Temple Beth El, Far Rock-

that the Jewish prophets "ab-

Dr. Moshe Greenberg, of the
University of Pennsylvania,
defined Judaism as "the attempt
of the Jewish people to draw
implications for living from the
Bible. It is not the Bible itself."
He added that the science of
interpreting the Bible in order
to bring it into relevance with
the problems of the times made
it a "portable entity that could
be possessed by everyone who
studied the Torah and adopted
it as his own."

Wear Striped Pants
Editor, The Jewish News:
I am moved to write this by
your editorial on the political
party planks about Israel. I am
sure your readers are not so
naive as to take political plat-
forms at their face value. It is
an old dictum that a politician's
promise erev an election has
only an accidental resemblance
to performance after the– elec-
tion.
But why bother reading plat-
form promises? The news col-
umns of your own paper tell of
actions by the Eisenhower Ad-
ministration in relation to Is-
rael. Guns to -Iraq, tanks to
Saudi Arabia, but no defensive
arms to Israel.
Appeasement of Nasser,'meek
t oleration of discrimination
against American Jews by slave
trading Saudia, but prohibition
of the Jordan River irrigation
scheme by Israel.

in striped pants," as Truman
called them, who made the Near
