He had lit ore of the 2,5 candles on the menora that was
installed at special ceremonies to mark the commencement
of the -eelebration of Israel's 25th anniversary. He expressed
pride in the fact that "the torch I used to light that candle
was itself lit in Jerusalem by a flame kindled by President
Shazar to signify the beginning of the anniversary year."
To indicate the immensity of the needs which are to be
met in the coming year and which necessitated the setting
of the $785,000,000 budget for 1973 by the Jewish Agency,
Zuckerman made public these budgetary figures:

The resolution was ap-
proved shortly after U.S. Sec-
retary of State William P.
Rogers addressed the UN
General Assembly urging
that it act without delay in
undertaking global measures
against international terror-

Rogers' proposals were em-
bodied in draft treaties call-
ing for the extradition and
punishment of terrorist perpe-
trators and sanctions against
countries aiding them.
While Rogers spoke, the
White House disclosed that
President Nixon had estab-
li h"d a high-level cabinet
committee "to deal quickly
and effectively" with terror-
ism. The committee, to be
headed by the secretary of
state, will coordinate govern.

rorism at home and abroad
and to set up procedures to
take appropriate action

should terrorism occur.
It was reported from
Frankfurt that according to
Interpol's secretary general,
Jean Nepot, a criminal act
combined with what some
countries might regard as a
political act would still be
classified as a criminal act.
The adoption of the resolu-
tion was announced by Sec-
retary Rogers during his
General Assembly address.
It cited "certain aspects of
modern international crimi-
nality, such as the holding of
hostages with the intention
of perpetrating blackmail or
other forms of extortion."

Aranne Remembered

Decision by Massachusetts
Bet Din Averts Student Split
BOSTON—A recent delitr
eration by the Associated
Synagogues of Massachu-
setts' Bet Din averted a
threat to the very existence I
of the Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology student
congregation.
One Saturday morning, a
student, in keeping with the
views of the Reconstruction-
i s t philosopher Mordecai
Kaplan, elected to recite a
revised blessing before the
reading of the Torah, rather
than reading from the author-
ized text. The revised ver-
sion eliminated that portion
of the blessing which alludes
to the chosenness of Israel.
One student objected stren-
uously to the reading of the
Reconstructionist blessing.
Could the student minyan,
which had conformed to tra-
ditional halakhic standards
by virtue of precedent, call
someone to the Torah who
would proceed to recite a
different version of the Torah
blessing? On the other hand,
could it deny him a basic
right as a Jew for an aliya to
the Torah?
A special session of the
Bet Din crystallized the
arena of contention between
the disputing parties.
The plaintiffs proceeded to
legitimize what they con-
ceived to be the classical con-
cept of "Jewish Chosenness"
—chosenness implying shared
interest and entailing addi-
tional responsibilities but not
intrinsic betterness; at most,
a teaching of betterness to
the world, but not an espou-
sal of racial superiority.
They also argued that if
one held to the premise that
any person can say anything
he wants in a congregational
service, what was to stop a
Jew from praying to a foreign
deity if this were the dictates
of his individual conscience?
The party defending the
recitation of the Reconstruc-
tionist blessing based its
position on what were as
sumed to be safeguards ac•
corded to sincere individual
expressions of conscience
within the Jewish communal
worship setting. It called for
inquiry and fuller exposition
Rather than issuing a
psak (specific decree) as had
been advOcated by the plain-
tiffs, the Bet Din elected to
couch its disposition in the
form of "advice and guid-
ance."
The court attempted to
convey a feeling for the po-
tency of communal preroga-
tives in prayer. In a sense,
the court took its cue for the
level upon which to conduct
its deliberation from those
students who favored the
Reconstructionist blessing. In
the face of communal rights,
the court declared, how much
latitude can we accord the
dictates of individual expres-
sion in a congregational
service?
Although the rights of the
community cannot be in-
fringed upon, the individual
cannot be excluded from the
community, the court ruled.
On the contrary, the commu-
nity recognizes its cardinal
responsibility to reach out to
the alienated individual out
of a desire that he experience
moments of eternal oneness
with the community. "For,

Congress Might Commend Mark Spitz
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The judical subcommittees
in the House and Senate are
considering a concurrent
resolution which would honor
swimmer Mark Spitz for
winning seven gold medals
at the Munich Olympiad and
the entire American team
for its athletic performance
there.
The resolution was intro-
duced by Sen. Alan Cranston
and Rep. John E. Moss, both
Democrats of California, who
represents the district in
California where Spitz makes
his home. •
Spitz lives In Carmichael
near Sacramento.
Other co-sponsors were
three California congressmen
and the two senators from
Indiana.
Spitz, who is Jewish, set
world records in the seven
events in which he competed
in Munich. He is a student at
Indiana University.

tential for sanctification of a

Thus the rabbinical court
found it unnecessary to rule
on the admissibility of recit-
ing t h e Reconstructionist
blessing per se. "Instead, by
simply pointing that an in-
dividual is forbidden to in-
troduce sincere, affacious, or
even profoundly piestic per-
sonal expressions into the
communal service, the stu-
dents were supplied with
food for thought on the vigi-
lance Judaism accords to the
protection of Jewish com-
munal rights in prayer," re-
ported Lefkowitz.
