Council for Judaism
Renews Attack on B-G

Richard L. Simon, regional
vice-president of the American
Council for Judaism, anti-Israel,
anti-Zionist organization, in a
letter published last week in the
New York Times, attacked Israel
Prime Minister David Ben-
Gurion for a recent speech, in
which Ben-Gurion said that the
"actions of American Jews" may
determine whether or not Israel
obtains weapons from the U.S.
Claiming that a "significant
• group" of anti-Israel Jews was
represented by his viewpoint,
Simon denounced Ben-Gurion
for supposing that Jews would
want to have an influence on
whether or not Israel is to
survive. Simon said that the
Council for Judaism regards
such statements as "damaging
and a cause of confusion about
the status and attitudes of
American Jews."
The letter continues with fur-
ther apologetics and disassocia-
tion of American Jews from the
welfare and security of Israel,
finally ending on a note of dis-
daining of Ben-Gurion's "im-
proper intercession" in the lives
of American Jews.

In a Lighter Vein

Yom Kippur "Benevolence"
A Jew who had been. eating
on the Day of Atonement, was
arraigned before the rabbi.
"How can a strong, healthy
man like you eat on Yom Kip-
pur?" demanded the divine.
"Rabbi," said the offender, "I
know it is a grievous sin, but I
did it in order to help a poor
Jewish girl."
"Well," conceded the holy
man, "helping a poor Jewish
girl is indeed a piety of great
importance. But tell me, please,
in what way did your eating
help her?"
"You see," explained the
recreant," when I went to Shul
on Yom Kippur morning, I
overheard a conversation .be-
tween two girls.
" 'Everyone is fasting today,'
said one, 'even the oldest and
feeblest.' I wish I had a thou-
sand rubles for every Jew that
will eat today,' said the other.
So I went home and had a bite
in order that a poor Jewish girl
should have another thousand
rubles."

Lore," published by Hebrew Pub-
lishing Company, 77 Delancey
Street, NYC.)

Potter Praises Israel,
Defends U.S. Zionists

On the eve of Senate adjourn-
ment, Michigan Senator Charles
E. Potter inserted into the Con-
gressional . Record a tribute to
Israel as an ally of the U.S.,
and commendation for the con-
tributions made to American
life by U.S. Jews.
Sen. Potter singled out Israel
as "a tiny democratic bulwark
against Nasser riding the mad
horse of Arab nationalism."
Citing such prominent Ameri-
can Jews as Louis Brandeis, Hy-
man Rickover, Louis Marshall,
Benjamin Cardozo, Felix Frank-
furter, Jonas Salk, Bela Schick,
Edward Teller, J. Robert
Oppenheimer, Isidore R a b
Senator Jacob Javits and for-
mer Senator Lehman, Potter
paid tribute to the many Jews
who have been valuable assets
to this country.
At the same time he defended
Zionism among American Jews
and rejected the idea of divided
loyalty, saying that a sympathy
for Israel in no way detracted
from a person's allegiance to
this country.
