Editor, The Jewish News:
I read—with mixed feelings—of
the plan of the government of
Mexico to present a statue of
Christ to the United States to be
placed in the city of Corpus
Christie, Tex.
Manifestly, my mixed feelings
stem from two basic sources: 1. I

and because of their differing reli-

Thus, I have a plan which I and Jewish studies while meeting
wish to present herewith. We will U.S. education requirements. The
build a monument (statue) to our
Law Giver, Moses with pennies
contributed by children — Jewish
and non-Jewish—the world over.
The goal will be at least $100,000.
"Pushkas for Moses" will be
placed in Hebrew schools, syna-
gogues, temples — and perhaps
some churches (upon invitation).
The money would be allocated as
follows: $50,000 to the winning
sculptor for construction of the
long-overdue monument; $50,000 to
he divided between two sets of con-
testants—children who compete in
an essay contest as to the most de-
sirable location; artists, of diverse
kind, to determine the most fitting
design.
Further, I would nominate ("tap")
the "immortal" Sammy Davis Jr.,
to be the grand chairman of the
over-all project. I feel sure that he
would have no difficulty in gather-
ing about him a large coterie of
volunteers.
I will, as a gesture of sincerity,
match the first hundred pennies—
dollar for penny—and I would in-
vite other people with "similar
mixed feelings" to do likewise.
Sincerely yours,

as a ZOD Scholar
When Zev Jabotinsky in the
1930s called out "Jewish Youth,
Learn to Shoot," he was con-
demned in Jewish newspapers with
far more knowledge and depth
than this one. He was condemned
with the same foolish arguments,
and in the end it was not he but
East European Jewry who suf-
fered for the foolishness of its
Jewish establishment.
If not for yourself and for your
children, at least consider the Jew-
ish people whom your newspaper
should serve: That every Jew know
how to shoot. So that someday, he
may not have to.
