Rabin to Resign
as Envoy to U.S.

It has now been established:
Itzhak Rabin is due to resign as
Israel's ambassador to the United
States, a post he held since his
retirement as chief of staff of the
Israel Army, the position he oc-
cupied during the Six-Day War.
Who'll succeed him?
The current issue of Newsweek,
under the heading "General Dayan,
Meet General Rabin," stated:
"Israel Prime Minister Golda
Meir's real reason for bringing
Ambassador Itzhak Rabin back
from the U.S. is to counterbalance
the prestige of Defense Minister
Moshe Dayan, hero of the 1948
and 1956 wars, as the cabinet's
military expert. Rabin, who will
be minister of development, a
now-vacant post, was chief of staff
and hero of the 1967 war. Candi-
dates to replace him in Washinton
include military intelligence chief
Gen. Aharon Yariv, UN Ambas-
sador Yosef Tekoah and Aviezer
Chelouch, a banker and somtime
Israeli ambassador to Nigeria."

Winners of the awards presented by the National Jewish Wel-
fare Board's Jewish Book Council of America for outstanding books
of Jewish interest published in the United States during 1970 are,
(from left): Rabbi Ephraim Oshry of New York, recipient of the
$500 Leon Jolson Award for the best book on the Nazi Holocaust for
"Sheelot u-Teshuvot: mi-Maamakim" (Responsa: From the Depths);
Mrs. Sonia Levitin, Morage, Calif., winner of the $500 Charles and
Bertie G. Schwartz Award in the Jewish juvenile book category for
"Journey to America"; Mrs. Ruth Finer Mintz, Los Angeles, winner
of the $500 Florence and Harry Kovner Memorial Award for the
best volume of Jewish poetry for "Traveler Through Time;" and
Rabbi Mordecai M. Kaplan of New York City, 90-year-old theologian
and founder of the Reconstructionist movement, given the $500 Frank
and Ethel E. Cohen Award for the outstanding book on Jewish
thought, "The Religion of Ethical Nationhood," as well as for his
cumulative contributions to Jewish literature.

Jewish Profs Asked to Affirm Link
With Zionism in 13 Educators' Letter

NEW YORK—Thousands of Jew-
ish college professors are being
asked to affirm their identifica-
tion with "Zionism as a movement
of Jewish liberation and cultural
renascence" by a group of 13 noted
American academicians, headed
by Professor Milton R. Konvitz of
Cornell University.
In a letter sent to Jewish college
professors throughout the coun-
try, it was pointed out that "the
time has come to condemn forth-
rightly efforts to discredit the
Jewish people and the state of Is-
rael through blatant anti-Zionist
propaganda."
Prof. Konvitz and his 12 co-sign-
ers, said in their letter that the
affirmation will be issued as a
public declaration so that we can
"repudiate the distortion of Zion-
ism, and so reject the insidious
attempts to separate the interests
of the Jewish people from the
state of Israel and their fellow
Jews in the Soviet Union."
In addition to Prof. Konvitz, the
authors of the affirmation are:

Salo Baron, Columbia University;
Marvin H. Bernstein, Princeton
University; Haim Ginott, New
York University; Abraham J.
Heschel, Jewish Theological Sem-
inary; Horace Kallen, New York
School for Social Research; Peter
B. Kenen, Columbia University;
Arthur Kornberg, Stanford Univer-
sity; Seymour M. Upset, Harvard
University; Albert Sabin, Board of
Trustees, New York University;
Judah Shapiro, Hebrew Union
College, N.Y.; Ruth G. Weintraub,
Hunter College, City University
of NY; and Elie Wiesel, noted
author and lecturer.
