NEW YORK — The students of

School in Brooklyn recently do-
nated six TV sets to the amputee
ward at the Government Hospital
Tel Hashomer in Tel Aviv.

order to show their great apprecia-

protect Israel from those who
would destroy her.

Lev's 'Jordan Patrol': One of Very Best
Novels About Israel, Its People, the War

An idealism unmatched inhuman
experience is recorded in a novel
about the Six-Day War—"Jordan
Patrol" by Igal Lev, a veteran of
Israel's three wars, now a corre-
spondent for the Israel Hebrew
daily Maariv.
In a splendid translation into
English from the Hebrew by Stan-
ley A. Broza, published by Double-
day, "Jordan Patrol" is much
more than a novel: it is a record
of reactions by young Jews to war,
to the Arabs who are their ene-
mies on the battlefront but whose
welfare they do not shun, to the
rejection, of atrocities, to adher-
ence to the urge for peace in spite
of the great odds against it.
Characters who represent the
youth of a nation, young people
in search for love, for a share
in their nation's daily life, are
hurled into a cauldron of
tragedy. They accept the duty
of protecting the lives of their
people, but they do it while
passionately craving for normal-
ity in an area that hed become
embattled for more than two
decades.
As a novel "Jordan Patrol" has
all the aspects of live. It is filled
with adventure. It is marked by
family interests and by reactions
to the current conditions of the
life in Israel. Primarily it is the
individual—the group of individu-
als—that is noteworthy in a great
delineation of the men and wom-
en involved here, in the emergence
of the responses to the conditions
of the time described here.
Whether it is Rami as a heroic
fighter whose actions are simply
normal in a state of war that is a
defense against threats of Jewry's
extermination, or Alik—in every
instance it is youth forced into a
condition that is not craved but
rejected, yet it is a state of com-
pulsion.
Alik is typical. He is success-
ful in France. He has a love
affair with Suzanne and is of-
fered, noon his graduation from
the university, an important
Post in her father's business.
But he leaves to fight in his
country's defense. As a reservist
he feels that obligation. He fills
it. The war ends. He is ready to
return to Paris. His actions, as
part of a people, as a devotee
to its needs, give emphasis to
a loyalty steeped in a need to
prevent calamity for his people.
There is the story of the..lift
that was given by the soldiers who
were traveling on the way to
Jerusalem to hooded figures. One
of them, thoroughly exhausted
huddled up to one of the figures.
It proved to be Ziva who saw how
tired he was. She embraced the
soldier, comforted him and finally
covered him thoroughly with a
blanket as she left. Awaking, the
soldier searched for her, only to
learn that she stayed on. Although
she was to get off at Beersheba,
she alighted near Tel Aviv to seek
a lift back to Beersheba—all out
of compassion and fellowship for
the tired fellow man.
Then there is the scene of
Rami's befriending an Arab girl
fora few minutes.
Rami paid the supreme penalty
in the fight for freedom. The men
in his battalion came to pay their
respects to the survivors. There
is this deeply moving conclusion
to Lev's "Jordan Patrol":
We stood there silently, five
men all dressed in white shirts,
near the door in Rami's house.
His mother sat pale and silent,
and only the quiet sobbing of
the neighbors, the mourners, dis-
turbed the silence, distracting
us like a sudden summer rain
shower.
Rami's father was still in
khaki uniform. He had been
called from up north and had
traveled through the night. He
stood near the window, his back
stooped, absent-mindedly pick-
ing at an old scar on his arm.
Only to the wound could he con-

vey his grief, staring at it de-
spondently. Rami's sister sat
with her arm around her mother,
giving her occasional sips from
a glass of water.
We stood there feeling un-
comfortable. I drew near to the
mother and saw that she recog-
nized me. Only then, for the first
time, did tears brim over her
desolate eyes, as though released
from depths of her heart. Then
she screamed. Once. That
scream haunted me ever since.
"You!" she pointed at me. "Why
did you not take care of him?"

W. Germany in 1st Place
With the Israeli People

TEL AVIV (ZINS) — 1970's
realities would have seemed to be
an incredible anachronism in 1948,
only 22 short years ago. The fol-
lowing is a prime example: Germ-
any today pre-empts the place pre-
viously held by France in the
hearts of countless Israelis. Con-
tacts between Israel and Germany
grow stronger from month to
month. The German Embassy in
Tel Aviv has become one of the
liveliest centers in town, especially
its cultural division. It contains a
large German library patronized
by thousands of local subscribers.
Popular courses in the German
language have multiplied, requir-
ing some 14 separate classes,
attended by hundreds of students.
German films attract large au-
diences. The cultural division of
hte embassy alone has 55 employ-
ees. Apart from this, Germany
plays a very large role in every-
day Israeli life.
Approximately 9 percent of all
Israeli exports are now consigned
to Germany. German imports ac-
count for 10 per cent of all goods
coming into the country. In the
year 1969 Israelis purchased 4,500
Volkswagens. Thousands of Is-
raelis travel to Germany as tour-
ists and a like number of Germans
reciprocate with a visit to Israel.
It is reported that in 1968 more
than 10,000 German students vis-
ited the Jewish State. Thousands
of Israelis are expected to go to
Germany in connection with the
Sports Olympiad which is sched
uled soon for Munich.

Rehovot Visiting Fellows

REHOVOT; Israel — At least a
dozen different languages are rep-
resented among the 115 visiting
fellows from 15 countries doing re-
search this year at the Weizmann
Institute in Rehovot. But all are
linked by the lingua franca of Sci-
ence.
The overseas visitors have come
to Israel from institutions of high-
er learning and research centers
in Argentina, Australia, Canada,
Denmark, France, Germany, Hol-
land, Italy, Japan, Rumania, South
Africa, Spain, Switzerland, the
United Kingdom and the United
States.
This year's contigent represents
a considerable increase over 1968/
69, when the Institute played host
to 94 overseas scientists.

The tears streamed in heavy
drops down her pinched cheeks.
She did not try to wipe them
away. Suddenly she stood up
and came toward me. She
stroked my hand pleadingly:
"Please forgive me. You are all
little children. All my children
. . ." I felt as though a lump of
lead which had stuck in my
throat had melted into tears.
We stood there for some time,
facing one another. A youngster
burst into the room. He was the
acting postman, relieving the
regular man who had not yet
come back from the war. The
boy did not immediately grasp
the significance of what was
going on in the room, or the air
of tragedy in the atmosphere.
Suddenly he understood it. He
muttered something, took a post-
card out of his satchel, placed it
on the table and ran out.
It was a postcard from Rami.
His father tried to hide .it, but
his mother said in a determined
voice: "Let me read it!" She
took the card and raised it close
to her eyes. From where I stood
I could see only one line:
"0, God, Ma, how I hate
war. . . ."
The entire theme is one of com-
passion. Then there is the his-
toric, like the reference to Jeru-
salem, the transformation even of
unbelievers of a dedication into
what is "not in the bricks of the
Wailing Wall, but in our own souls.
Pathos mingles with adventure
in this moving theme in which Lev
wrote as much about people and
their reactions as about the war—
and the people emerge the human
element craving for peace, hating
war.
There is no doubt — "Jordan
Patrol" is one of the very best
novels about the June 1967 war.
Many works have been written on
the subject: Lev's tops most of
them.
