'Between You

JEWISH TRADITIONS: I was greatly impressed seeing several hun-
dred Bnai Brith youths praying in Tefilin (philacteries) at one of
their regional conventions . . . Tefilin is the cornerstone of Bar
Mitzva . . . But while Bar Mitzva is popular, the tradition of Tefilin
is completely strange to youth . . . Rarely does an American Jewish
youth follow up his Bar Mitzva ceremony by observing the tradition
of praying in Tefilin . . . The tradition is alien not only to Jewish
youths, but to most of their parents . . . It, therefore, speaks highly
for the Bnai Brith Youth Organization that at a time when youth in
America is inclined toward hippie culture, the BBYO is seeking to

attract the interests of its members to Jewish tradition and learning
. . . BBYO is to be congratulated for the program guides it has just
published on the Sabbath and on the Nazi holocaust . . . Both volumes
were expertly prepared and edited by Rabbi Leivy Smolar, associate

this typically Wilde witticism and the bath"—follow the Bnai Brith principle that young Jews must look upon
implication that a woman's age must be the Sabbath not as a day of austerity and limitations, but one which
veiled in mystery. I maintain that it is offers opportunities for rich, enjoyable and creative Jewish activities.

irrelevant. Alter all, it was not the teen-

age Juliets who set the world on fire .. .
Cleopatra was nearly thirty when Mark
Antony tossed aside an empire for her
sake. And Helen of Troy, to cite yet
another history book example, was over
forty when her fabled face launched a
thousand ships and burnt the topless
towers of Illyium (or, in more prosaic
terms, when she became the cause of the
Trojan Wars). Nor, apparently, was her
beauty dimmed when she returned, ten
years later, to her rejoicing husband.

Add Planters Pecans, Planters Oil, milk
and vanilla extract. Fold in sifted dry in-
gredients. Beat egg whites until foamy;
gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and
continue beating until stiff but not dry.
Fold into batter. Pour into two greased
and floured 8-inch round cake pans. Bake
in slow oven (300°F.) 40 minutes, or until
done. Remove from pans and place on wire
racks to cool. When cakes are cooled,
split layers in half. Beat heavy cream and
1 tablespoon sugar together until of desired
spreading consistency. Spread, whipped
cream between layers and on top of cake.
Chill until ready to serve. Your Helen of
Troy Torte will serve six handsomely—
and launch countless compliments.

THE TEFILIN MOVEMENT: The Tefilin mass-prayer conducted at the
conference of the Bnai Brith Youth Organization is part and parcel
of "Tefilin Campaign" started by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi
Menachem M. Schneerson . . . The campaign aims at strengthening
JeWish traditions and Jewish identity among teen-agers and is being
directed with determination and with growing success . . . The Luba-
vitcher Hasidic movement sponsors more than 70 clubs for children
from coast to coast as well as diversified educational programs for
teen-agers and adults . . . It conducts a unique service for Jewish
farmers who live in isolated areas . . . At various intervals repre-
sentatives of the Lubavitcher movement travel by auto to these com-
munities to visit homes of the farmers and to discuss Jewish educa-
tional problems with their families . . . They help the farmers over-
come the lack of Jewish school facilities and provide them with
self-teaching literature for the home . . . Bookmobiles of the Luba-
vitcher movement are simultaneously visiting outlying communities
and provide Jews in the rural areas with the opportunity to deepen
and broaden their knowledge of Judaism . . . Incidentally, the Luba-
vitcher movement is now celebrating the 70th anniversary of its
school system . . . It was 70 years ago that the first Lubavitcher
yeshivot were established in Russia, the country where the Luba-
vitcher movement originated . . . Today one can find Lubavitcher
all-day schools in almost every country in the world except in
the Communist countries . . . Tens of thousandS of pupils are
enrolled in these schools . . . In the United States, one can find now
at least 15 Lubavitcher all-day schools in New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia, Pittsburgh and other cities . . . It was the late Lubavitcher
Rebbe, Rabbi Joseph I. Schneerson, who laid the foundation for these
schools in 1942, when he arrived in this country after being rescued
from Nazi Europe.

Panderers Who Use Mail Can Be Curbed

Citizens offended by pandering
advertisements sent to the m
through the mail can now take
steps to curb such mail, Post-
master Edward L. Baker said, an-
nouncing plans for administering a
new law which gives each family
the right to decide that an ad is
"erotically arousing or sexually
provocative."

When an advertisement sent
through the mails is offensive on
these grounds, a postal patron can
now ask the post office to direct
the specific mailer to send no
more mail to him and to remove
immediately the patron's name
from all mailing lists the mailer
owns, controls or rents.

their children.
"Last year the Post Office De-
partment received some 140,000
complaints from those offended by
pandering advertisements. While in
most cases the ads were not
legally obscene and were therefore
mailable, they are often offensive
and are usually not the type of
material one would want his chil-
dren to read," the postmaster said.

the Holocaust . . . American Jewish youth is a generation born after
the fall of the Nazi regime . . . Well-educated and well-meaning as
these Jewish teen-agers are, they don't grasp sufficiently the tragedy
of the annihilation of six million Jews by the Nazis . .. Many of them

Israeli \Writers Urge
Colleagues Fight Bigotry

JERUSALEM (JTA) — The na-
tional conference of Hebrew writ-
ers ended its first session here
with a resolution urging writers
and poets the world over to raise
their voices and use their pens
to fight anti-Semitism wherever
it may arise, in whatever form.
The writers urged their col-
