The Jews who remained in the Philadelphia's Free Parochial Schools Busing Challenged (=-\, NEW YORK — The American Jewish Congress gave its legal and financial support to a suit chal- lenging the constitutionality of Pennsylvania's recently enacted school bus law, which authorizes the transportation of pupils to "non- public schools." The suit seeks a preliminary in- junction restraining suburban Philadelphia's Rose Tree Union School District from spending funds to transport parochial and other private school pupils to and from their classrooms.

Costs of the suit are being met by the American Jewish Congress and the American Civil Liberties Union. Dr. Israel Goldstein Aids Canadian Zionists MONTREAL (JTA) — Issues of fund-raising and organization for Israel were evaluated at a series of meetings between officials of the United Israel Appeal of Cana- da and the Zionist Organization of Canada with Dr. Israel Gold- stein, world chairman of the United Israel Appeal. The meetings were held in Montreal and Toronto. After the Montreal discussions, Dr. Goldstein conferred with Toronto UIA and ZOC local lead- ers, and with officials of the Toronto United Jewish Appeal and the W o m e n's Division of the Toronto United Jewish Appeal Dr. Goldstein also addressed a special gifts dinner in Montreal of the 1965 Joint Campaign for the Combined Jewish Appeal and the United Israel Appeal. . wasteland of Zion resigned them- selves to waiting for deliverance, though their hearts told them it was in vain. But there was one who refused to sit by idly. Rabbi Akiba, now aged and weary, taught the Torah despite the Roman decree against religious study; told the fearful ones that, as a fish could not live without water, so could the Jewish people not exist without Torah. One day there came to Rabbi Akiba a mighty man, fierce-looking and broad-shouldered. "I am Si- meon bar Koziba," he said. "I stand ready to strike the blow of vengeance!" Akiba said, "In the Bible it is written: 'There shall step forth a star out of Jacob and destroy the enemies of Israel.' I name you Bar Kochba—Son of the Star!" Thousands of followers were drawn to the new leader. They even came from communities out- side of Judea. Under Bar Kochba's guidance, the people prepared se- cretly, hiding their homemade weapons in caves and ravines against the day of revenge. The moment came soon enough. In Rome, Emperor Hadrian or- dered his Judean governor to erect a pagan temple in Jerusalem. Bar Kochba moved swiftly. In two years, his men captured ninety forts and a thousand cities and villages, including Jerusalem. Frightened lest other enslaved peoples follow Bar Kochba's ex- ample, Hadrian sent his best gen- eral, Julius Severus, into the fray. Severus retook all the forts, and Bar Kochba was forced to retreat to the mountain stronghold of Be- tar in the Judean hills near Jeru- salem. For one whole year the Romans laid siege to the city. At last, on the Ninth of Av in 135 CE, they broke through the gates and pour- ed into Betar. Bar Kochba fought grimly to the end, and fell sword in hand; Rabbi Akiba was put to a cruel death by the Roman gov- ernor. Ancient documents and coins, even now being discovered in Is- rael. are witness to the historic revolt. Military orders from Bar THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, September 10, 1965-11 Kochba to a deputy have come to light, and minted coins bearing the words "For the freedom of Jeru- salem," and requests for palm branches and citrons for the Fes- tival of Tabernacles in the year 134. Bar Kochba did all that was humanly possible to keep alive the flame of rebellion against tyranny. But it was snuffed out. Half a million Jews died in the year 135. The defeat of Judea was complete, but the exploits of Bar Kochba remained forever inscrib- ed in the chronicles of Jewish his- tory.
