Vatican Council to Take
Final Vote on Jewish
Document in the Fall
.
NY Education Council, Federation
Tell of Advances, Better Relations
ROME (JTA)—Pope Paul VI
has set Sept. 14 as the opening
date for the fourth session of the
second Vatican Ecumenical Coun-
cil and has ordered that it will be
the last session.
The fact that this will be the
closing session virtually assures
that final action will be taken on
the declaration on Christian-Jewish
relations which was overwhelm-
ingly approved at the third session
last November.
The declaration, which was
twice revised, specifically holds
that Jews, past and present, have
no special guilt in the crucifixa-
tion of Jesus, all mankind being
held responsible. The declaration
also warns Catholics against semi-
Semitic attitudes and actions.
NEW YORK (JTA) — The
achievements in Jewish education
in New York during the last 25
years were outlined here by Dr.
Azriel Eisenberg, executive vice
president of the Jewish Education
Committee of New York, in con-
nection with the 25th anniversary
of his organization.
The Jewish Education Commit-
tee, central agency for Jewish ed-
ucation in New York, was formed
with the aid of a $1,000,000 be-
quest from Colonel Michael Fried-
sam, philanthropist and head of B.
Altman & Co., absorbing in its
organization the communal Bureau
of Jewish Education.
Where once there were 62,490
Jewish students in the area now
served by the JDC, today there
are well over 150,000 Jewish boys

The Private rCraze
of Shemaryah
Twenty years ago, a member of Kib-
butz Nann named Shemaryah Gutman
reached the top of mount Massada in
the Negev. He had gone forth to seek
the mountain on which Eleazar Ben
Yair and his 960 men had fought and
fallen. He succeeded in reaching the
mountain after a long weary danger-
ridden trek. On the top of the mou•
fain the winds blew—the same winds
that had dried the last tear shed by
one of the fighters who embraced his
wife and children before he took their
lives so that they should not fall into
the hands of the enemy.
Since then Massada has become the
private craze of Shemaryah. Year after
year he walked at the head of a long
row of youngsters to mount Massada.
Year after year he led the youth to
the burning sun of the desert, en-
thused them in preparation for their
ascent to the peak (top of the moun-
tain) of Massada.
As the years went by, Shemaryah
succeeded in unearthing most of the
remains known to us today—the path-
ways, the water-supply plant, the re-
mains of Herod's palace. In all his
searches Shemaryah used as his faith-
ful guide: Joseph Flavius' book (Jose-
phus' Jewish War).
When the State of Israel emerged it
became clear to the mountain's investi-
gators that continued research must be
of a national character. In 1956 Shema-
ryah and a large group of -volunteers
returned to the mountain and began to
reconstruct the Roman camps. Only
now is it possible to gain a true idea
of the size of the camps and the
mighty power of the Roman army which
fought against 1000 last fighters but
could not vanquish them.

NEW YORK (JTA)—The belief
that the Federation of Jewish
Philanthropies of New York "is
paving a needed two-way street be-
tween Federation and the syna-
gogue" through its commission on
synagogue relations is expressed
in a report presented to the Fed-
eration's board by Judge Matthew
M. Levy.
Judge Levy explained that his
committee had operated on the
Federation philosophy which is to
serve the entire community in
health, social and welfare areas
and to avoid becoming "a battle
ground for personal or group ide-
ological supremacy."
