12—Friday, July 11, 1969 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Flint News 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?

MAC-Co-LAC 669 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."
