take 'mid
francs ($205.000) above the 1961
expenditures to meet the emer-
gency created by the influx of
North African and other Jewish
refugees, Charles H. Jordan,
JDC director general in Europe,
told a press conference here.
He said that the budget would
include projected increases for
the normal needs of the settled
Jewish population in France. He
added that the 1961 expenditures
for Jewish needs in France was
the highest for any year in the
past decade.
"The JDC recognized the fact
that the emergency needs cre-
ated by the new influx could not
be met by the local Jewish popu-
lation alone and that world Jewry
must provide aid." he declared.
Therefore, the JDC has assumed
since 1958 full responsibility for
providing cash relief to the group,
which included East Europeans
and refugees from Egypt as well
as those from North Africa.
The normal budget for France
is met through a pool to which
the Fonds Social Juif Unifie and
the JDC have contributed varying
percentages from year to year.
Jordan said JDC and Fond par-
ticipation in the period immedi-
ately after World War II had
been as high as 80 per cent.
Since 1958. a separate budget
f or service to new refugees has
b een added to the normal budget,
h e reported. Overall funds con-
ributed by the JDC for oper-
a tions in France reached a total
0 f $3,000,000 in its last budget,
h e said.
Jewish ethical teachings, the
religious divisions in Judaism
the parties in ancient Jewish
history, mysticism and Hasidism,
philosophic concepts and a score
of other elements in Jewish life
are evaluated in an interesting
book, "Jewish Concepts and Re-
flections," by Rabbi Samuel
Umen of Manchester, N.H., pub-
lished by Philosophical Library
(15 E. 40th, N.Y. 16).
The numerous essays in this
book are a result of the rabbi's
discussions with his members
and students. Out of them
emerge explanations of many
aspects of Jewish teachings and
beliefs. Rabbi Umen evaluates
religious practices. He explains
the divisions in Jewish life —
Reform, Orthodox, Conservatives
— and defines the Jewish God
concept.
He deals with Pharisees and
Pharisaism, the Messiah con-
cept, the idea of Chosenness.
Describing the controversies
over the idea of the Chosen
People, Rabbi Umen points out
that there are many jews who
discredit it as breeding contempt
and inspiring hate, and he ex-
plains that "the Jew recognizes
himself as chosen not to be a
master but a servant to carry
the light and the right to the
far ends of the earth." He states:
"The election of Israel needs
to be understood as a people's
deep feeling of responsibility to
do what is right, just, and prop-
er; to act in the name of God, 1
to carry out His will for their ,
own satisfaction and happiness, '
as well as serving as a salubrious
example to others.
"The Election of Israel, in our
own terms, means that Israel
has chosen God; that Israel's
chief preoccupation is to know
God, serve Him, and proclaim
His word unto the peoples of
the earth. Israel's election,
therefore, does not imply pre
sumption, but rather a grave Christianity is predicated, will
duty and responsibility."
