Ambassador Netanel Lorch, di-
rector of the Latin American divi-
sion of the Israel Fortkign Ministry,
and Brig. Gen. S. L. A. Marshall
joined, at the Israel Bond dinner
at the Statler Hilton Hotel. Sun-
day night, in urging extended
American aid or Israel to help
avert difficulties for the Jewish
state or an impending war.
Ambassador Lorch. who reviewed
the current crisis involving Leba-
non, declared that "There will be
peace only with a strong Israel."
Commending Detroit Jewry for
having, together with other Amer-
ican Jewish communities, provided
aid to Israel in the struggle for
life, he stated:
"What you do here tonight
will help keep Israel strong
so that ultimately we will
have peace."
Gen. Marshall. who introduced
Ambassador Loral, said he was
seriously concerned over what was
now happening in the Middle East
and he called for "more help for
that beloved land Israel." Mar-
shall was given a demonstration
of gratitude by an appreciative
audience.
In his review of the Lebanese
situation. AmbasSador Lorch point-
ed to the danger that faces the
Christian community there.
He declared that the United Na-
tions, by admitting Syria to mem-
bership in the Security Council,
disqualified itself in the conflict
as an impartial agent. He de-
scribed the UN as a body in which
Israel can do no right and the
Arabs can do no wrong and he
said that the Four Power talks
have no value. The only fous-pow-
ers that can diSelliSS peace are
Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Syria,
he said.
"We shall not budge from the
present positions until there is a
permanent peace achieved by di-
rect negotiation," he said. "and di-
rect negotiation} are the only way
for us to change the situation."
Ambassador Lorch pointed
out that not all of Israel's
energies are directed towards
the war effort. "We do all we
can to help others," he said,
indicating the efforts that are
being made in behalf of Soviet
Jewry and in trying to secure
safe exit for persecuted Iraqi
Jews.
He also emphasized the tasks
in Israel for the expansion of edu-
cational activities.

Bond purchases was made by Rob-
ert Brody, chairman of the Detroit

Praises Editorial
on Sabbath Sanctity
Editor, The Jewish News:
I want to commend your sensi-
tive editorial in the issue of Oct.
17 on the "Revived Role of the
Sanctity of the Sabbath." This
writer most heartily agrees that
"If there is to be an assured and
unchallenged identity with Jewry
by our ,children as well as their
parents, we must begin with the
Sabbath."
Throughout the ages this has
been a basic premise in Jewish
life and its abandonment of these
shores has certainly helped weak-
en Jewish living and Jewish iden-
tity on the part of our youth. The
infusion of a full day of vibrant
Jewish living once each week
served to sustain the Jew for
whatever he had to face the other
six days in a hostile world.
The American Jewish mother,
if she values her heritage at all,
and if she is at all concerned
with her children's Jewish iden-
tification, must attempt to em-
ulate the traditions handed down
to her. For she can, by resolv-
ing to bring into her home and
to her table the observance of
the Sabbath, turn that home into
a "Mikdash meyat," a miniature
sanctuary.
A most practical point of de-
parture would be for these same
concerned Jewish women to res-
olve, to stop shopping on the Sab-
bath. This is a most unnecessary
desecration of the injunction "You
shall do no manner of work."
Sincerely,
MRS. JOSHUA SPERKA
