New Record Set in Campaign Solicitations

man of pre-campaign, and Mrs.
Morris Brandwine, who directed
the Phon-O-Gift solicitations that
concluded on Wednesday, were
commended for their efforts. The
Phon-O-Gift solicitors succeeded in
reaching all but 300 of the list of
11,000 names provided for the call-
ers, and gifts were secured from
many who had not previously
given.
There were commendations also
for the mechanical division under
the chairmanship of Malcolm Low-
enstein whose gifts in excess of
$1,000,000. are topping the income
reported on Wednesday.
The gathering at Temple Israel
gave a standing ovation to the
Jewish Community Center Golden
Age Chorus which, under the direc-
tion of Cantor Nicholas Fenakal,
sang a group of three songs, and
then gave an encore, "Shalom
Uvraha," in honor of Ambassador
Harman. The choir was accom-
panied by its own musicians, on a
violin, the piano, a mandolin and
an accordion.. The president of
the Golden Age Choir, Isidore Lev-
inthal, upon the conclusion of the
songs, presented to Eisenberg a
check from the group to the Al-
lied Jewish Campaign, in appre-
ciation of the services rendered by
the Federation.
Participants in both the dinner
and public rally programs also in-
cluded Rabbis Leon Fram and M.
Robert Syme who gave the open-
ing and closing prayers.
Cantor Harold Orbach, accom-

panied by Mrs. Lillian Bernstein,
led in the singing of the national
anthems.
In his moving tribute to the
memory of Rabbi Adler, at the
opening of the rally program, Rab-
bi Groner paid honor to his late
associate whose work, he said, was
woven into the fabric of our com-
munal labors, whose efforts as the
first chairman of the national con-
gregational commission of the
United Jewish Appeal gave inspira-
tion "to rabbinical leadership and
the national Jewish community."
"His work shall endure," Rabbi
Groner said.
Ambassador Harman joined
in paying tribute to Rabbi Adler
in behalf of the people of Israel
who "share the feelings of con-
dolence on the great loss you
have sustained . "
It was announced at Wednes-
day's rally that the campaign will
close with a dinner at the Jewish
Center on May 4. At that time,
Avrunin and Green said, joining
Eisenberg in his feeling of certain-
ty that the high goal will be at-
tained, it is confidently expected
that the drive will come close to
the $6,000,000 mark.
Ambassador Harman devoted a
major portion of his address to a
scholarly evaluation of the role of
Jews as wanderers on the face of
the globe and to Israel's rescue
efforts which have led to the crea-
tion of a new status for Jews as
masters of their own destiny in a
land where they keep the door

Only 17 per cent of entering Jew-
ish freshmen at three colleges
could identify Hanukah as the fes-
tival "we customarily associate
with the name of the Maccabees"
and only between 11 and 16 per-
cent of those students were able to
name any three Hebrew prophets.
A British fiction scientist has
predicted that by 2090 we will have
achieved immortality on this plan-
et. But is it worth waiting for? I
am reminded of my encounter with
an old, old friend, by the name of
Lozer Zohn. Aged Reb Lozer was
standing on the threshold of his
apor on a cold winter day. When
I asked him what he was waiting
for, he said Messiah. But when I
retorted I didn't expect a man of
his piety not to wait for Messiah,
Reb Lozer said he was waiting for
Messiah because with his coming
Jewish heads will open in recepti-
vity to new revelation and it is
therefore worth waiting for his
coming. Is it worth waiting for the
immortality promised us by the
British seer? .. .

When the late Dr. Chaim Weiz-
mann as first president of Israel
received the first Soviet ambassa-
dor, he asked him whether he had
any skills apart from being a pro-
fessional diplomat. When the diplo-
mat replied that he had no other
profession, Dr. Weizmann suggest-
ed it would be far wiser if he had
something to fall back on in the
event of need, recalling that on
two occasions when he relinquished
leadership of the World Zionist Or-
ganization he turned for a living to
chemistry. . .
The Jewish educational structure
in the U. S. needs an annual incre-
ment of 1,000 new teachers. With
the various seminaries and teach-
er-training institutes graduating
some 120 Hebrew teachers a year,
the mathematics of the situation
makes it obvious that the dearth of
Hebrew teachers will be grave be-
fore this decade is over in view of
the fact that about one half of the
graduates leave the teaching pro-
fession within a few years after
entering it.

David Schwartz, inimitable JTA
columnist and author, is to publish
another book early this summer —
on American history. People who
saw the manuscript say it will be
hailed as an innovation in the writ-
ing of history for mass instead of
class consumption.
Alan Stroock, noted New York
attorney with strong ties to the
American Jewish Committee and
the Jewish Theological Seminary of
America, has told the story that
when an AJC group of which he
was a member visited Rome some
time ago, the first question asked
by Augustin Cardinal Bea was
"where is Rabbi Louis Finkel-
stein?"
There are a half dozen towns
and cities in the United States
with names akin to Jerusalem,
such as Salem and Zion • .
In the course of a recent ex-
change on the floor of Israel's
Knesset, one of the deputies ob-
served that each child that was
being born in Israel today inherit-
ed a debt of about 2,230 pounds
and that was why Israeli children
were now weeping so copiously
on birth. When Ben Gurion rose in
answer, he smilingly suggested to
his younger colleague that the
most effective way to reduce the
debt average is to hearken to the
be-fruitful and multiply admoni-
tion. "Increase the births," he
counseled, "and the debt will
shrink" . . .
Alexander Hamilton, one of the
greats in early American history,
attended a Jewish school in St.
Croix when he was a boy, a fact
which has lent color to false rum-

Opposes U.S. Funds
for Teachers in Yeshivot

NEW YORK (JTA) — The Am-
erican Jewish Congress called on
the board of education to reject
a proposal that would use federal
funds to send public school teach-
ers into parochial schools, yeshi-
vot and related schools.
At a board of education hearing,
Marvin M. Karpatkin, leader of
the American Jewish Congress,
said the proposal — which would
also supply television sets and
other equipment to church-related
schools — violated both the fed-
eral and state constituions.

open for newcomers who must seek
refuge from degradations.
"As recently as 1939, Jews were
predominantly a European peo-
ple," he pointed out. "In 1966 we
are no longer predominantly Euro-
pean — due to drastic change in
status. In 1939 there was an ab-
sence of rootedness. In 1966 there
is a status of rootedness and
citizenship. In 1948 there was an
immigration problem for Jews who
had nowhere to go. Since than
that problem has been removed
from the agenda of Jewish history.
Israel now is a free country with
doors open to Jews who wish to
come in."
Ambassador Harman pointed
out that a million and a half
Jews have migrated in search of
freedom, that 1,300,000 of them
found a home in Israel. He said
there are no miracles, no short-
cuts, in the task of transforming
people whose lives have been
broken by the Nazis. Fewer than
1 per cent of newcomers to Israel
were farmers and fewer than 2
per cent were trained to earn
their livelihood productively, yet
homes had to be provided for
them and jobs created, and the
task was achieved by joint ef-
forts of Israel and the Jews of
the world.
Israel's task of bringing together
Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jewries
also is a result of "a great oppor-
tunity in our religious experience,"
Ambassador Harman said. He em-
phasized that this fusion is result-
ing in the creation of "a unified
people with a sense of common
purposes based on reality—to dis-
criminate positively in favor of the
disadvantaged group. This is what
we are doing in Israel."
Mourning the loss of 30,000
Jewish communities that have been
destroyed by the Nazis—small and
large—including the Warsaw com-
munity which had a Jewish popula-
tion of 500,000 in 1939, Ambassa-
dor Harman reminded the gather-
ing of "what had happened to a
people whose heart stopped beat-
ing," and he pointed to Israel's re-
vival as a revitalization for a new
life and a strengthened Jewish
spirit.
Ambassador Herman gave assur-
ance that the doors to Israel will
be kept open "in a partnership
with you, Detroit Jewry, and all
our other Jewish communities, so
that the day will be hastened
when there will not be a single
Jew who is not a free man and
who does not have your free status
and our free status."
