"We are faced with bankruptcy
unless we get some help from our
American friends," the director of
the United Aged Home Moshav
Sekenim in Jerusalem stated in an
appeal to The Jewish News.
There are 350 aged in this Jeru-
salem home and a Detroiter, Rabbi
Jacob Hoberman, has undertaken
to assist in securing aid for this
institution.

People Go.' We must also demand
'Let My People Be Repaid."' With
these words, Rabbi Alan W. Miller
threw his support to James For-
man's demand for reparation to
Afro-Americans for their suffer-
ing under slavery.
Citing precedent for Forman's
request, Rabbi Miller, author of
"God of Daniel S.," published by
Macmillan Co., said, "After all,
Biblical tradtion explictly records
that when the children of Israel
left Egypt they also received re-
paration in the shape of silver and
gold raiment. My only complaint is
that Mr. Forman's request goes to
the wrong address. But let church
and synagogue take up Forman's
plea, and let them together direct
an appeal to the federal govern-
ment."
"Ironically," he added, "what
the Afro-Americans are now cre-
ating, the Jews are squandering.
In their haste to assimilate as ra-
pidly and as closely as possible to
middle class conformity, many
Jews, heirs to a tradition of iden-
tity cultivated over 4,000 years,
have failed conspicuously to trans-
mit that sense of identity to their
children."
Miller, a graduate of Balliol
College, Oxford, is rabbi of the
Society for the Advancement of
Judaism (Reconstructionist) found-
ed by Mordecai Kaplan.
