Stress Education Effort as Major
Goal of Zionist Movement in West

When Dr. Nelson Glueck
stands up before a Detroit audi-
ence at 8 p.m., Tuesday, in Room
101 of Wayne State University's
State Hall, he will have been
just a few weeks returned from
an extremely important archeo-
logical expedition to the Negev
of Israel.
His topic is "In the Footsteps
of Abraham."
His findings—the discovery of
a 150-mile stretch of what is
positively the route ancient Is-
rael followed in its flight from
Egypt to Israel some 3,500 years
ago—have added another large
chunk of fuel to the contention
that the Bible is a reliable . his-
torical document and not mere-
ly an allegorical fantasy.
And what is more important,
Dr. Glueck's discoveries are pav-
ing the way for modern build-
ers who can now follow in the
footsteps of ancient irrigators
and tillers of the soil in their
quest to make the desert flour-
ish again as it was once before
made to produce, many, many
centuries ago.
Dr. Glueck, (pronounced
Glick), 57, in addition to his
archeological prominence, is
president of Hebrew Union
College-Jewish Institute of Re-
ligion, Reform Judaism semi-
nary, having risen through the
ranks at the college.
On his discoveries bearing out
biblical information, Dr. Glueck
was asked if these prove the
biblical version, he answered,
"If you accept the bible, you
don't need archeology as proof.
But archeology has demonstrat-
ed that the bible CAN be be-
lieved."

KIAMESHA LAKE, N. Y.—
The Zionist movement must
undertake a massive intensive
educational e f f or t among
statesmen in the western world
in order to avert the danger
that Israel may become a
"Czechoslovakia in this era,"
Dr. Mordecai Kaplan, noted
Jewish philosopher, said Tues-
day night at the 58th annual
convention of the Conservative
rabbinate of the United States
and Canada.

His recent important discov-
ery was the end-product of six
years of intensive exploration in
his search for the route traced
by the bible.
The segment of the Egypt
flight trail identified by Dr.
Glueck is a 150-mile stretch—
the Derech Shur of Genesis, one
of the oldest caravan routes.
Along this route Dr. Glueck was
able to locate the ancient re-
mains of a water system used
in the antiquity of more than
2,000 years ago. He has also un-
covered ancient irrigation and
conservation systems used by
the settlers of the long-ago Ne-
gev, and which Dr. Glueck be-
lieves can be refurbished and
rebuilt to once again produce
bountiful crops on what is now
a desert region yielding nothing
but dry dust blowing in the
wind.
Dr. Glueck explained that
he was able to trace this an-
cient "highway" of the Israe-
lites, by marking on a modern
map some 400 villages of
those he has located in his
years of archeological explor-
ations. Many of these cities
and villages dated back as far
as the time of Abraham, be-
tween the 21st and 19th cen-
turies BCE.
Using the Bible as his guide,
Dr. Glueck says that "We rea-
soned that if we could find the
road travelled by Abraham
from Canaan to Egypt and back
again, we would be on the same
road travelled by the Israelites.
For Abraham too was journey-
ing with a retinue whose ani-
mals needed grazing land. There
was no other way."
There indeed was no other
way. The 150-mile path from
Kadesh-Barnea to Hormah is
the route.
Also using the Bible as a
guide, Dr. Glueck is credited
with discovering the famed King
Solomon's mines as well as
other famous biblical land-
marks, previously thought by
scholars to be non-existent.
Dr. Glueck will speak on this
and other discoveries, illustrat-
ing his talk with color slides of
the sites of many of his dig-
gings, at the Wayne lecture,
third in the series of Walter and
Lea Field lectures, being pre-
sented by the WSU Semitic Lan-
guages and Literature depart-
ment, Dr. Abram Spiro, chair-
man.
Dr. Glueck will be introduced
by Leonard Simons, who will
be presented by Liberal Arts
Dean Victor Rapport. Admission
is free and the lecture is open
to all interested persons.

Look Article Points
to Jewish Awakening

American Jews are . experi-
encing an awakened interest
in their Jewish identity, an
article in the new issue of
Look Magazine said.
In the fifth of a series on
"The Story of Religions in
America," Hartzell Spence de-
clared that "the conflict that
once existed for many Jews—
between practicing. Judaism
and participating in the main
stream of American life—has
been muted."
For two generations, Spence
pointed out, many Jews had
increasingly neglected religious
observances, putting their faith
in some form of social ideal-
ism.
But the shock of Hitler's
rise to power, wartime anxiety,
the cold war and Communist
persecution of Jews in Russia
have inspired great numbers
of American Jews to re-
evaluate the importance of the
Jewish religion for themselves
and their children, the Look
article said.

shared the speakers' platform
with Dr. Abraham J. Heschel
on the idelogical evaluation
relationships between Israel
and world Jewry.
Dr. Kaplan warned that "the
future of world Jewry is most
precarious." He said Israel
could confer on the Jews of
the world spiritual status only
if it became "a catalytic agent
for reconstruction of the Jew-
ish people," which at present
is rapidly disintegrating. The
Zionists, he said, "are qualified
to reconstitute the continuity
and spirituallity of the struc-
ture of Jewish life."

Photographs of sculptures,
most of them with Biblical
themes, by Nathaniel Kaz and
Erna Weill, illustrate the Art
Calendar issued by the National
Federation of Temple Sister-
hoods for the Jewish year 5719
which will begin at sundown on
Sept. 14.
Among the sculptures by
Erna Weill in the Calendar
is the one shows here called
"And She Put Moses Down
at the Brink of the River."
This impressive piece in terra
cotta, mounted on a free-
form wood base, now stands
on a pedestal in the Sister-
hood Lounge of the House of
Living Judaism-Berg Memo-
rial in New York, City, head-
quarters of NFTS and its
parent body, the Union of
American Hebrew Congrega-
tions. The sculpture is a gift
from the Sisterhood of the
Baltimore Hebrew Congrega-
tion in honor of Mrs. Hugo
Dalsheimer.
Miss Weill, whose work is
included in the permanent col-
lections of several museums in
the United States and in Israel,
has been commissioned to do
sculpture for temples in New
York and New Jersey.
Nathaniel Kaz has won many
awards, including first prize in
1955 for a sculpture for the
United Nations building in a
contest conducted by the Na-
tional Council for U.S. Art.

Daniel Barenboim, the 15-year
old Israeli pianist, has just made
his first American recording for
the Westminister Company in
a series of 32 Beethoven piano
sonatas.
