: - • THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, Daveolaw 6, 1110-35 ,Brith Milah Class Inaugurated in New York; Emphasized as a Mitzva NEW YORIE--Rabbi Leo Jung. president of the Brith Milah Board of New York, announces that appli- cations are being accepted for the new class of students in the Brith Milah School conducted at Mount Sinai Hospital, New York. He stated: "Brith Mb& is one of the cardi- nal =Rivet of Judaism, yet, of late, this commandment has been challenged. To be certain virtually all Jewish male children are cir- cumsised, but the circumcision is not always performed in accord- ance with Jewish Law. To inaugu- rate a Jewish child into the Cove- nant of Abraham, it is essential that the circumcision be done as a religious act. This requires that the mohel be an observant Jew and that the Brith be performed on the eighth day unless the phy- sician orders a postponement dui to health reason. Under no condi- tions may a child be circumcised before the eighth day. Our people have undergone tremendous perse- cutions to fulfill this command- ment. To violate it for mere con- venience desecrates our Holy Torah and the sacrifices of our forefathers. "The Soviet government denies Jewish children this basic and fundamental right and many of our young parents in the Free World deny their children the proper per- formance of this mitzva. "We have therefore organized the school to maintain the high standard of the certified Mohelim of the Brith Milah Board of New York and we pray that it will encourage parents to have the Brith performed properly. "To qualify for the Brith Milah School, the student must possess a good Jewish and secular education. He must, of course, be an observ- ant Jew." Classes are conducted at Mount Sinai Hospital on Monday and Wednesday evenings. In addition to People Proof Eyeglasses t53.30-7 PRESCRIPTION OPTICAL CO. 26001 Coolidge 543-3343 the didactic lectures the student has clinical training. The latter includes observing melodies and physicians in the nursery and op- erating room. The students receive instructions from physicians, • inehelim and rabbis. The physicians include leading urologists, pediatricians, and hematologists. The courses in science include anatomy, physiology, embryology, microbiology, asepsis, antisepsis, hematology and clinical correla- tion conferences. The religious classes give instructions in funda- mentals of circumcision, Talmud, Codes and the Responsa Literature. The student is afforded the op- portunity of studying in Mount Sinai Hospital and Beth Israel Medical Center. The Jewish Me- mortal Hospital and Brookdale Medical Center also cooperate in this program. Following the formal course of study there is an internship period at which time a teacher accom- panies the graduate student at circumcisions. Gen. S. L. A.

JERUSALEM (JTA)—Under the impact of defense needs and with the help of Jewish scientists brought in from abroad, Israel's armaments industry is proving capable -of turning out modern weapons systems that are superior to their foreign counterparts and better adapted to local conditions, if not always cheaper to make. This picture of Israel's arma- ments industry was drawn for Hnesset members by Prof. Ar- yeh Dvoretzky, chief science of- ficer of the Israeli Defense Min- istry. Prof. Dvoretzky said the defense research establishment has succeeded in bringing many Jewish scientists to the country and engaging them in defense research. He said that outstand- ing men between the ages of 30-40 are being sought and no expense should be spared in the effort. Prof. Dvoretzky claimed that Israel has developed new weapons systems in a much shorter time than the 7-10 years it uElially takes abroad to develop a new tank or missile. He said Israel has been able to rehabilitate old tanks and equip them with modern instru- ments and that on several occa- sions has manufactured for itself certain advanced weapons that it had been barred from purchasing abroad. Prof. Dvoretzky said, however, that Israel was not entirely self- Soviets Sending Goods sufficient in weaponry and still to Arabs Through Turkey licked the broad industrial infra- TEL AVIV (JTA)—The Soviets structure that would permit it to are now permitted to deliver goods mass produce locally made proto- to Arab countries over an overland type weapons. route via Turkish territory.

According to the agreement, goods 'destined for Iraq and Syria may pass through prescribed routes on Turkish territory. While there was no information as to the nature of cargo permitted to go through Turkey, it was pointed out here that even trucks by themselves are of a strategic nature. There is, however, no way to check the goods in the trucks which may in- clude materials for strategic pur- Turkish reasoning for poses. - this agreement was that Russia has permitted Turkish fruits to be transferred overland to Finland. produce THE •TE*SAN'EWS Ex-Nazi Political Adviser Over 200 Craftsmen are employed by PAK printers — there is no substitute.
