LETTER BOX
Time for Stock Taking
Editor, The Jewish News:
The time has come for the rabbis
in our community who are in con-
tact with Bar Mitzva boys to exert
an influence so that the parties
that follow services should be more
representative of a religious event.
The rabbi usually tells the boy of
his responsibilities to his people,
himself, his education; a few hours
later the boy is thrown into a
country club atmosphere with jazz
bands and pop corn machines in-
stead of an event that smacks of
the joy of having attained a major
goal, and of a lot of fun that has a
Yiddish tam—a Jewish taste—in-
stead of a circus theme.
Can the rabbis help carry
through an idea of religious fervor
from service to party?

Little Communities More Generous in Jewish Campaigns
NEW YORK (JTA) — Jews in
America's smaller communities
contribute substantially more to
Jewish fund-raising campaigns, on
a per capita basis, than do those
of the larger Jewish communities.
This is one of the findings of a
preliminary report on a study of
120 communities with less than
5.000 Jews prepared by the Council
of Jewish Federations and Welfare
Funds.
The 120 communities, embracing
a total Jewish population of 225,000,
constitute only 6.7 per cent of
American Jewry, but those com-
munities have contributed 10.6 per
cent of the nationwide results, ac-
cording to the study which was
prepared by Martin Greenberg.
CJF research director, for the or-
ganization's national committee on
small cities.
On a per capita basis of con-
tributions. the smaller communi-
ties run "far ahead" of larger
communities — $42.45 as against
$25.50 in 1966, a per capita figure
which soared to $116 in response
to the 1967 Israel emergency. The
study compared per capita giving
in the small communities with per
capita giving of the rest of the
American Jewish communities.
Differences in per capita giv-
ing also were found between
states. The range was from
Speculators Resort
To Block Busting
Tactics in Brooklyn
NEW YORK—A spokesman for
the Crown Heights Jewish Com-
munity Council charged Tuesday
that real estaate speculators had
engaged in block-busting tactics
to frighten the Jewish residents
I of the Brooklyn section into mov-
ing to other areas of the borough
i. and ..that the council would not
hesitate to publicize t.he names of
such speculators to end those
tactics.
! Rabbi Zalman Gurary. a board
member of the organization, which
represents most of the Orthodox
Jewish agencies in Crown Heights,
also told a press conference that
council representatives had ap-
proached the speculators and
warned them to end their ac-
tivities.
He said council representatives
also had approached Jewish resi-
dents to assure them that rumors
spread by the speculators about
crime in Crown Heights streets
were spread deliberately to fright-
• en them into selling their homes.
A council spokesman said that
the flow of outgoing residents had
been slowed, but that the neigh-
borhood had been hurt by the
speculators' efforts.
Refuting the rumors of increas-
ing crime. Rabbi Gurary declared
that auxiliary police and vigi-
lante groups developed by Jews
in other sections were not needed
in Crown Heights and that the
council had sought to make this
clear to residents. He charged that
the speculators "have played on
the weakness of the community
residents to make fortunes for
themselves.
He said also that in some cases,
the speculators had "deliberately
installed tenants" in some housing
"to harass and drive out the rest
of the block" and that such ten-
ants had been "prominent in
spreading false rumors." He said
"we must expose those specula-
tors, and we will name names
when the time is opportune."
Omaha Jewish Press
to Continue Publication
During Summer Months
OMAHA (JTA)—A nine-year-old
policy of suspending publication of
the Omaha Jewish Press during the
summer months has been recon-
sidered and the Jewish weekly will
be published throughout the current
summer because of "the critical
conditions of Jewish life in many
parts of the world." The decision
was announced by the Jewish Press
committee of the Omaha Jewish
Federation, which sponsors the
weekly.
