Easy conversations taken from everyday life in Israel — with typical
colloquialisms and proverbs!
WHAT TO DO ABOUT
THE WEATHER
A. What's new? How are things?
B. Progressing slowly. And you?
A. Exactly the opposite. You work
and there's no satisfaction.
B. What's the matter? Health?
Making a living?
A. Not exactly. It's just that
something depresses me.
B. Are there special reasons for
your being in a bad mood?

by being depressed?
A. A man is not an animal. There
are worries, so people worry.
B. But the worries need to be
worthy of human beings. An
Intelligent man doesn't just
worry. He does something.
Mark Twain already mocked
the idler who weeps about bad
weather and doesn't lift a
finger to improve it.
A. What should one do about
"bad weather"?
B. If you like sports, go out and
wrestle with the storms and the
bad winds.
A. But much to my regret, I•am
not an expert on winter sports.
B. If that's the case, sit at home
my friend, and wait for the
sun. Look out the window and
whisper to yourself with
confidence. It doesn't matter!

or even legal alternatives. 'Di-
gesting the past,' after all, is
not the same as brooding about
it.
The author adds: "In the last
analysis, 'digesting the past' means
setting ghosts to rest and turning
to the problems of the present and
the future. The test of Germany's
moral recovery is not now anti-this
or anti-that the Germans turn out
to be . . . It is not even enough to
ask how well Germans of today
acknowledge their responsibility
for the past; it is much more im-
portant to ask what they are going
to do with their future."
Agency is planning the modern-
ization of textbooks and teaching
aids, and the formulation of a
"master plan" for teaching He-
brew and Zionist subjects in
Jewish schools abroad, it was an-
nounced by Itzhak Harkavi, head
of the department.
The announcement was made at
a meeting attended by 140 Israeli
teachers who had spent the last
year in Jewish communities a-
broad. Rehabean Amir, director of
the department, said that fewer
teachers wil be sent abroad next
year, due to manpower shortages.
Plans are under way, he told the
meeting, to turn each teacher in-
to a seminar instructor for train-
ing other teachers.

TEL AVIV (JTA) — Israel
Monday requested Scottish ship-
yards to delay sending representa-
tives here to negotiate an order
for building ships for Israel.
The request appeared to be in
retaliation for newly imposed
British restrictions on the import
of Israeli cotton products. Israel
is protesting against inclusion of
this country in Britain's list of
lands with "cheap labor." Under
the new British ruling, textile im-
ports from countries with "cheap
labor" will be restricted to protect
British producers.

In the form of a dialogue, the
information by one of the partici-
pants in the discussion recorded
here is that in 1957 a poll showed
that 12 to 15 Germans expressed
definite pro-Nazi sentiments. Then
there was self-searching, and the
information provided here in the
dialogue is that by 1957:
"The newspapers took a second
look at some of the trials of Nazi
criminals that had been going on
all along. The East German Com-
munists and other statellites began
to publish specific incriminating
information about particular of-
ficials in Bonn, which, of course,
they should have done long before
that time. Movie producers came
out with documentary accounts of
the Third Reich, there were show-
ings of 'The Diary of Anne Frank'
and of other such plays on the
stage, the new television program
went to work enlightening its eag-
er new viewers about their own
past, and even the illustrated mag-
azines, took a noticeable turn away
from the peephole stories of the
'I was Hitler's valet' type and the
romantic war experience tale to
more serious and often accusing
accounts. The bookstore windows
seemed all of a sudden full of
shelves of devastating and often
scholarly accounts of Nazi crimes
against the Jews and in occupied
countries, including translations
of Leon Poliakov's 'Harvest of
Hate' and other works, Shirer's
'Rise and Fall of the Third Reich,
Hilberg's 'Destruction of European
Jews,' and innumerable German
studies of particular aspects of the
Nazi regime."
