Buber Predicts Liberal Judaism
for Israel in Coming Generation

A noted Jewish theologian to-
day expressed the belief that a
liberal Jewish movement will
begin to flourish in Israel during
the next generation.
This opinion was given by
Professor Martin Buber in a
recent interview in his study in
Lsrael. His views were revealed
in an exclusive article, "A Con-
versation with Martin Buber" by
Rabbi Herbert Weiner of the
Temple Israel of the Oranges and
Maplewood in South Orange,

New Brochure Tells
History of Zim Lines

The growth of Israel's fore-
most maritime enterprise from
a one-ship operation on the
Mediterranean 15 years ago to
a globe-girdling fleet of 38 mod-
ern passenger liners, freighters
and tankers today is described
in a new 20-page illustrated
booklet, "Seven Stars on the
Seven Seas, the Zim Lines'
Story."
It is published by the Ameri-
can-Israeli Shipping Co., of New
York, U.S. representatives of
the Zim Israel Navigation Co.,
Ltd., of Haifa.
The booklet traces the Zim
Lines' development from the
early .years of Israel's indepen-
dence when it was forced to
rely on second-hand tonnage to
meet the needs of mass immi-
gration and emergency imports,
to the present fleet which ranks
among the most modern in the
world and transports more than
73,000 passengers and a million-
and-a-half ton • of freight a year
on 17 world-wide routes.
There are some rare photo-
graphs of the company's origi-
nal vessels, long since gone for
scrap and representative pic-
tures of Zim's new freighters,
trans - Atlantic passenger ships
and cruise liners. There is a
glossary explaining the meaning
of each ship's name and a
center spread with world map
showing the principal routes
served by the Zim Lines.

Seven Seas" may be obtained

ican Hebrew Congregations and
its affiliated bodies.
Asked about the religious in-
terests in modern day Israel, Dr.
Buber commented, "The whole
religious question here is terribly
difficult. There is no liberal
Jewish movement here — only
some Jews who have liberal re-
ligious ideas. I am inclined to
think that something will happen
only after the next generation.
After we have overcome this
state of excessive politicization."
He continued, "We are too
politicized here, externally and I
internally. Most of our youth—
apart from the Orthodox—are in-
terested in politics; that means
military problems, or political
problems, or the two of them.
"Another part of our youth,"
continued Mr. Buber, "is inter-
ested in just what you might
call career, personal career, with-
out any ideas at all. Just know-
ing something because they must
know something in order to make
a career.
"At present there are two lib-
eral Jewish congregations in the
State of Israel in Jerusalem and
Tel Aviv (with a group in Haifa)
who are members of the World
Union for Progressive Judaism,
the international branch of liberal
Judaism with headquarters in
New York City. The largest seg-
ment is the UAHC with 1,000,000
members and 605 synagogues in
the western hemisphere."

With his brother. Percival
Goodman, the nationally promi-
nent architect and professor of
community planning at Colum-
bia University, Paul Goodman
was the co-author of "Corn-
munitas," the classic work on
city planning. He is a distin-
guished lecturer, an authority
on city planning and a student

of urban affairs whost. chief
interest is in introducing the
human scales in urban living.
Random House has just pub-
lished Paul Goodman's "Grow-
ing Up Absurd," which explains
"the similar plight of the ju-
venile criminal and the organ-
ization man, of the youthful
dissenter and the youthful con-

formist, and how we waste our
human resources in America
today."

"Growing Up Absurd" is a

remarkable example of social
criticism. It is a thought-
provoking social study that will
inspire extensive study of one
of the most pressing problems
of our time.
