Czech Jewish Community
Threatened With Isolation

LONDON (JTM—A Czech Jew-
ish leader here expressed concern
Tuesday that the Jewish com-
munity in Czechoslovakia was be-
ing subjected to "increasing out-
side pressure" and seemed "well
on its way" to the "isolation" ex-
perienced by Jewish communities
in other countries in the Soviet
orbit.
Karl Baum, chairman of the
Council of Jews from Czechoslova-
kia, commented on the news reach-
ing here Monday that celebrations
marking the 1,000th anniversary
of Jewish settlement in Czecho-
slovakia have been canceled. The
celebrations were to have been
held in Prague July 9-14. Baum
said that a Czech Jewish millen-
turn exhibition which his council
had planned to hold in Britain
under an arrangement with the
Jewish State Museum in Prague
will have to be canceled. So will
a special supplement that was to
have been published in the London
Jewish Chronicle June 6.
The Millenium celebrations, ori-

ginally scheduled to take place in
the summer of 1968, were cancel-
ed when the Czech government
withdrew its sponsorship in the
aftermath of the 1967 Arab-Israel
war. It was subsequently resched-
uled for the summer of 1969 ap-
parently with government sanction.
The decision to cancel it again was
reportedly taken at a meeting of
Jewish community leaders in Pra-
gue April 20.
Baum said that "Jews of Czecho-
slovak origin in the Western world
will be dismayed and disappointed
at this decision which deprives
them of an opportunity to identify
themselves with this unique occa-
sion and to revisit the Jewish
community of Czechoslovakia and
the country of their birth." He said
that whether the decision was
prompted by the Czechoslovak gov-
ernment of its own accord or under
Soviet pressure, it is clear that
neither cultural nor economic re-
lations can be kept apart from the
over-all pattern of the state con-
trolled system."

on Lag b'Omer

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Gamal
Abdel Nasser, Alexei Kosygin and
Charles de Gaulle were burned in
effigy as Israeli youngsters danc-
ed around bonfires in celebration
of Lag b'Omer Monday. Festivities
took place at Meron. near Safad, at
the grave of Shimon Bar Yohai; in
Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and other
cities. Some teachers reportedly
frowned on the symbolic burning
of foreign political figures as a
form of diversion but the "straw
men" of Russia. Egypt and France
went up in smoke nevertheless. An
admonition by Orthodox rabbis
against wearing miniskirts was
equally ineffective.
According to legend. an outbreak
of plague among the pupils of
Rabbi Akiba in the Second Century
ended on lyar 18. The holiday is
known thus as the "scholar's
feast." Rabbi Ben Yohai, a mystic,
was said to have died on this day.
