'Twos the first night of Ilanlika
And throughout the rnishpocha,
Not a word was there said,
Not even a Rrocha.
It's Nice
To Deal With
The children were sleeping,
Dreaming not of the Torah
Rut rather of gifts
That surround the mongrel.
The mammas were busy,
You'd sense in the air.
The fragrance of lathes
That soon would be there.

THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

Group Hopes to Oust 3 NRP Ministers
NEW YORK (JTA)—The
Committee for Jewish Survi-
val claimed that it had ga-
thered 50,000 signatures on
a petition for the ouster of
the three Mizrachi (National
Religious Party) ministers
from the Israeli government.
A recent Beth Achim testimonial dinner honoring
Sidney Silverman and Dr. Manuel Feldman netted
$220,750 in Israel Bond purchases. Shown are (from left)
seated: Silverman, recipient of the Israel 25th Aanni-
versary Award; Abbie Ben Ari, guest speaker; and Feld-
man, the other awardee; and standing: Cantor Simon
Bermanis; Steven I. Victor, president of Beth Achim;
David Silver, dinner co-ordinator; and Rabbi Milton Arm,
who made the tribute to the honorees.

Children
Will Have to Prove
Jewishness to Wed
Preminger
HAIFA — A rabbinical
court has handed down the
decision that if the too chil-
dren of U. S. film director
Otto Preminger ever want to
have a traditional marriage
here, they first will have to
prove they are Jewish. The
children are an 11-year-old
twin brother and sister.
The Israeli Supreme Court
declared the validity of
Preminger's marriage to a
Gentile after the rabbinical
court had questioned the re-
ligious status of Preminger's
children.
Prernin_:iiir married his as-
sistant, Hope Price, in Israel
torimi the filming of - Exo-
dus " The president of the
1t eirmann Institute, Meyer
Wi•isgal, testified at the
wedding that Miss Price was !
Jewish. Later, however, he
wrote in his memoirs that !
his 4estimony had been false '
lie rcif used to appear before
the rabbinical court on a
summons.
The Orthodox group, bas-
ed in this city, has been con-
ducting a campaign against
the ministers—Yosef Berg,
Zerach Warhaftig and Mi-
chael Hazani—for their fail-
ure to pass an amendment
to the Law of Return which
would stipulate that all con-
versions must be in accord-
ance with Halalcha—religious
law.
The petition calls on the
NRP executive to replace the
ministers "with people who
will adhere to the rulings of
the Rabonim and to demand
the immediate resignation
og their ministers until the
'Who Is a Jew?' law is
amended to read 'giyur ke-
Halakha'," Until then, the
petition says, "Let It be
known that the Mizrachi
ministers do not represent
even one Orthodox Jew."
The committee said the pe-
tition was not aimed at the
Mizrachi movement but only
against the three ministers.
