Kosygin -'pared
to Let Jews Leave.
to Study Rabbinics
PALM BEACH (JTA) — Soviet
Premier Aleksei N. Kosygin was
challenged to let 100 young Jews
leave the USSR each year for the
next 10 years to study in American
and Israeli rabbinical schools and
teachers seminaries or else prom-
ise to permit such education on
Soviet soil under Jewish auspices.
The challenge came from Dr.
Bernard Mandelbaum, president of
the Jewish Theological Seminary
of America as 350 Jewish leaders
assembled to pay tribute to the
seminary on the opening of its
85th year and to mark its annual
drive for endowment and mainten-
ance funds.
Dr. Mandelbaum, professor of
Midrash and homiletics, said that
"in addition to welcoming Jews
to Israel from thp Soviet Union-
-and Soviet Jews should have
the freedom to leave if they wish
to — American and Israeli Jews
have the resources to heal the
breach in religious commitment
and practice that has been open-
ed up by the Soviet government's
severe restrictions on Jewish
communal institutions."
He called upon Americans of all
faiths to protest the maltreatment
of Jews through the Soviet UN
Mission, the Soviet Ambassador in
Washington, Russian consuls in
principal cities, Soviet trade mis-
sions and visiting Soviet cultural
groups and other delegations.
Fred P. Pomerantz of New York,
a philanthropist and apparel manu-
facturer, received the Jewish
Theological Seminary's 1972 Etern-
al Light Award.

AJCoininhte,e Study Shows Black Muslim
Movement
Is a Source of Anti-Semitism
-
•- PALM BEACM (JTA)- — The
Black Muslim movement, whose
publication emits a "constant
drumbeat of inflammatory anti-
Zionism, anti-Israel _ and anti-
Semitic propaganda," is potentially
more menacing to Jews todaY than
when it first came to public' at-
tention a decade ago because the
Muslims "are a significant source
of anti-Semitic infection in the
black community."
This was reported here by Philip
E. Hoffman, president of 'the
American Jewish Committee,
whose board of governors was
holding a special meeting here.
The report, compiled by Milton
Ellerin, director of the AJC's
trends analysis division, disclosed
that the Black Muslims have made
deep inroads into the :Week ghet-
tos in this country.
Their publication, Muham-
mad Speaks, has a sworn paid
circulation of 529,930; they have
established approximately 50
mosques in every large Ameri-
can city; their weekly radio
broadcasts are carried over 70
radio stations in 60 cities; and
consists of a "vast empire"
whose p h y s i ca I -assets- "are
valued in excess of $20,000,000,"
the report adds.
The Muslim newspaper, the
pact far beyond their numbers."
The bead of the American.Jew-
ish community's organized effort
for Soviet.,:44IewrY Uald'fflat
activity would continue unabated
despite the tact that many snore
Soviet Jews were currently being
permitted to emigrate to Israel
than ever before.
Richard Maass, president of the
National Conference on, Soviet
Jeivry and chairman of the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee's bicenten-
nial commission, declared that
"the current exodus from the
Soviet Union would not have come
about had we not exerted pressures
from outside simultaneously with
the activities of Soviet Jews them-
selves. Were the Soviet authorities
to believe that the issue no longer
was of great concern to us and
world opinion, they might well shut
off emigration."
Maass announced that the NCSJ
was declaring April 30 to be Rus-
sian Jewish Solidarity Day
throughout the country.
It is being coordinated by the
National Jewish Community Rela
tions Advisory Cauncjiand will
i nv- 61-v e thristian and Jewish
leaders:
Maass added that petitions ad-,
analyst point out, indulges in anti- dressed to President Nixon were
Semitism and persistently displays
hostility towards Israel.
The report also indicates that
there are instances where the Mus-
lims follow the Communist Party
line, as, for example, in their cas-
tigation of civil rights activist
Bayard Rustin after he protested
the treatment of Soviet Jews by
Communist officials. .
Finally, the report concludes
that "it is uncontroverted that the
Nation of Islam, anchored in the
ghettos of America, is a significant
force in black America. The auto-
cratic discipline imposed on its
members, their unquestioning ac-
ceptance of Muslim dogma as
enunciated by Elijah Muhammad
(the 75-year-old self-proclaimed
Messenger of Allah) through the
widely-circulated Muhammad
Speaks, gives the movement im-
Army Chief's Son
Not a Hebrew,
High Court Rules
JERUSALEM (JTA)—The third
child of Commander Benjamin
Shalit, chief psychologist of Israel's
armed forces, is not to be regis-
tered as belonging to the "Hebrew"
community in his identification
'papers, the Supreme Court decided
here. His mother, an aetheist, is
not Jewish.
The first two Shalit children
were registered as belonging to
the Jewish community (being of
Jewish "nationality") and of no
religion.
However, the law was changed
afterward, and for registration pur-
poses, Jewish means a child born
to a Jewish mother or having un-
dergone conversion and having no
other religion.
Shalit, therefore, applied to have
his child, born last year, registered
as Hebrew.
In its judgment, the high :court
said that Hebrew and Jewish are
synonymous and the registration
asked for by Shalit would be mis-
leading.
The -court said its judgment
should have no reflection on the
feeling of belonging that a person
may have.
