THE DETROIT JEWISH HEWS
Friday, Sept. 29, 1972-17
Most Israelis in Poll
Back Gov't on Baram
NEW YORK—A majority
of. those questioned in a re-
cent Israel public opinion
poll endorse the Israel gov-
ernment's action in refusing
to allow Arab villagers to
re-establish their settlements,
Baram and Writ, near the
Lebanese border.
The poll, taken by PORI-
Public. Opinion Research of
Israel Ltd., was reported
here by the American Jettfsh
Committee.
The Arab settlers of the
two villages originally left
them in 1948 during the
Arab-Israeli fighting. The
Israel government now in-
sists that it cannot allow the
re-establishment of Arab
settlements close to a hostile
frontiers.
In the poll, 53 per cent
of those questioned support
the government's stand while
only 19 per cent favor the
villagers' demands at the
present time. Seventeen per
cent are undecided, seven
per cent say they never
heard of the case.
Rascal
When a man makes up his
mind to become a rascal he
should examine himself
closely and see if he isn't
better constructed for a fool.
—John Billings.
Herbert Gold Back in Fold, Detroit Role Impressively Told
How Herbert Gold has
made an about face, has
done teshuva through the
long experience of searching
for identity, is told in his
newest work, the autobio-
graphieal "My Last Two
Thousand Years." (Random
House). Was it Israel that
did it, or the manifold ex-
periences that commenced in
his home town of Lakewood,
0., then Cleveland, on to
Paris, the Detroit home of
his first wife's mother . .?
It is probably the combina-
tion of all of them that
brought him to loyalties and
an allegiance to Jewry It is
still not to Judaism -- he
was not Bar Mitzva —
yet there never was a time
when he did not affirm being
a Jew.
He found himself and he
came to the fold. He did not
have to return because he
never left it. "I became a
Jew because of my history
of withdrawal and evasion
of my fate" may or may not
summarize his new attitude.
But it does lead to an under-
standing of his fate.
• • •
The lifetime of his experi-
ences as narrated by the
able author in this intriguing
work is filled with action.
He now has five children.
He left his first wife—there
were two children with her
—in Detroit. Here he was at
Wayne State University, he
lived at Webster Hall, he was
apparently art unhappy guy
until he found himself. And
his coming to himself in Is-
rael is accompanied also by
the new life, the new non-
Jewish wife, the self-asser-
tion, as he expresses it:
"My non-Jewish wife studied
Hebrew in the Berlitz school
in San Francisco after we
returned from Israel. I don't
speak Hebrew. I can remem-
ber certain prayers learned
by rote at the Euclid Avenue
Temple, but they are not the
ones I need. I'll find them.
"I thought to be a Jew
because I was named'so by
others. I learned by being
one that Jew is more than
epithet. The content of ten-
uous community, risk, and
kind to people. He has fond
recollections of the late W.
K. Kelsey, who was the most
popular of the Detroit News"
columnists. Kelsey, he re-
calls, "liked my novel 'The
Man -Who Was Not With It'
but couldn't understand why
sometimes made up
I
words."

HERBERT GOLD
history makes me feel im-
mortal though I'm not. No
matter what happens to me,
I am continuous with a past
which was worthy of better
than me; a present when
others died to be Jews; a
future constructed equally of
fate and intention."
One interprets that he is
no kind to Euclid Avenue
Temple in Cleveland and its
rabbi. Several times he men-
tions the Unitarian rabbi of
that temple.
But he is generally not un-
