Ten Reasons
UN Security Council Balance Remains Despite Change
to Study Hebrew UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (JTA) noting that "all uncommitted states the United Nations' failure to in-
The late Dr. Emanuel Gamoran,
who was the director of the com-
mission on Jewish education of the
Union of American Hebrew Con-
gregations, presented these reasons
for studying Hebrew 30 years ago:
1. Hebrew is the language of the
Bible.
2. Hebrew is the language of the
prayer book.
3. Ability to participate intelli-
gently in the temple service de-
pends upon a knowledge of Hebrew.
4. Hebrew serves as a bond of
union between all the Jews through-
out the world.
5. A knowledge of Hebrew, pun.
sued intensively, opens such
sources of Jewish literature as the
Mishna, medieval Hebrew, poetry,
and philosophy, and modern He-
brew literature.
6. Hebrew is the spoken tongue
of a majority of the Jews now liv-
ing in Palestine (written a decade
before the establishment of Israel)
and of a great many others around
the world.
7. Every Jewish group should
provide Hebrew education for its
children sufficiently intensive to
develop a number who will be
capable of Jewish leadership in the
community.
8. Hebrew is a means of helping
the Jewish people survive.
9. In every language there are
certain concepts that are untrans-
latable, and can only be appre-
ciated by those who know the lan-
guage. This applies even more to
Hebrew, for our literature con-
cerns itself with a great many re-
ligious and ethical ideals, and thus
reflects the noble spirit of our
people.
10. The emotional values derived
from study of Hebrew cannot be
attained in any other way. They
serve most effectively to integrate
the child into the Jewish group.
Israelis Mark 1st
Year of UNICEF
Nat'l. Committee
The tiny pawns of war and pri-
vation--children— are the uniting
force in UNICEF, the United Na-
tions Children's Fund, which counts
Israelis among its steadfast sup-
porters.
Israel founded the 26th national
committee for UNICEF one year
ago at an inaugural meeting in the
home of Zalman Shazar, president
of Israel. Mrs. Zena Harman, or-
ganizer of the Israel National Com-
mittee, was chairman of the
UNICEF executive board when the
Agency was awarded the Nobel
Prize for Peace in 1965.
The Israel National Committee
for UNICEF is a channel of infor-
mation about the agency through-
out Israel. Mrs. Harman said that
after receiving much assistance
from UNICEF, Israel decided it
had reached a stage of develop-
ment which permitted it to be
among the contributors to
UNICEF, and not among the
recipients.
During the captivity of air-
line hostages held by the Pales-
tinian guerillas, the UNICEF
field office in Beirut was in im-
mediate and -continuous contact
with the Red Cross, offering food,
medic al supplies, tents and
blankets as needed.
The Red Cross also received
substantial shipments of food sup-
plies from UNICEF, at the request
of the Jordanian government, for
the women and children trapped
by the fighting in Amman and
other areas.
Throughout the emergency,
UNICEF's Beirut office was au-
thorised by UNICEF headquarters
to provide any aid for mothers and
children that was requested by the
Red Cross or the Jordanian or
Israeli governments.
The chief difficulty was not the
availability of supplies, but dis-
rupted transportation and commu-
nications in many parts of the
country.
—United Nations observers said
that this week's change in the
composition of the Security Coun-
cil would not make it either more
pro-Israel or more pro-Arab.
Western sources noted that of the
live outgoing members--C-olom-
bia, Finland, Nepal, Spain and
Zambia—only Spain has taken an
anti-Israel stance, although other
observers noted that Zambia in-
troduced last May's resolution in-
sisting on Israeli withdrawal from
Lebanon and is currently a spon-
sor of an African resolution that
Israelis are calling pro-Arab. The
Western sources added that of
the five new members of the
Council—Argentina, Belgium, Ita-
ly, Japan and Somalia—only the
last-named is hostile to IsraeL
Thus, according to those sources,
the balance on the Council re-
mains the same as regards atti-
tudes towards the Middle East sit-
uation.
The Israeli mission declared
that the delegation would not
participate in a consideration of
the report of the UN Special
Committee Investigating Human
Rights in the occupied territories.
The two-year-old committee, the
mission said, has "since its in-
ception . . . merely served as a
tool of Arab propaganda." It is
composed of Somalia, Yugoslavia
and Ceylon, all of which "have
no diplomatic relations with Is-
rael and have identified them-
selves with Arab hostility towards
Israel." The mission continued,
that were approached refused to
serve on the committee." The com-
mittee, the Israeli mission assert-
ed, "proceeded to organize a
spectacle of hearing 'evidence'
from witnesses most of whom
were supplied by the Arab gov-
ernments and organizations." The
result, Israel said, "is a compila-
tion of dated and already refuted
Arab propaganda allegations and
distortions." Emphasizing "the
freedoms enjoyed by the inhabit-
ants of these (occupied) areas to
a degree unparalleled in most
Arab states," plus what it called
vestigate the "maltreatment" of
"Innocent Jews in certain Arab
countries," the mission said it
would not take part in a debate
on the committee's report.
