Encouraged in
VOA'S Broadcasts to USSR Unaltered James Lubaski

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
President Nixon's nomina-
tion of James Keogh, a presi-
dential assistant, as director
of the United States Informs-
S er v ice succeeding Frank
J. Shakespeare, will not alter
the current programing by
the Voice of America to the
Soviet Union, a VOA official
told the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency. Keogh, a former ex-
ecutive editor of Time Maga-
zine, is a native of Nebraska
and a graduate of Creighton
University.

The VOA began broadcast-
ing news of Jewish interest
about a year ago on its week-
ly religious program beamed
to the Soviet Union in the
Russian and Ukrainian lan-
guages. A recent VOA broad-
cast to the USSR contained
Hebrew and Yiddish inserts
and traditional music asso-
ciated with the Hanuka fes-
tival.

Kahane Gets
Citizenship

JERUSALEM—Rabbi Meir
Kahane, head of the Jewish
Defense League, was granted
citizenship after the court
ruled that he poses no threat
to public safety.
Kahane, who also will re-
tain U.S. citizenship, is free
on $9,500 bond on suspicion
of trying to smuggle weapons
abroad for use against Arab
guerrillas. He was convicted
last week of disturbing the
peace.
Rabbi Kahane went to the
supreme court last week to
demand Israeli citizenship.
He accused the interior min-
istry of stalling his applica-
tion.

Now. Rabbi Kahane in-
tends to run for Knesset. He
expects the JDL .to win "one
or two seats for sure."

JERUSALEM—The image
of the tough, muscular Is-
raeli is undergoing quite a
change, if the education
ministry's figures are any
indication.

The Knesset public serv-
lees committee was told by
Hillel Rasskin, chairman of
the education ministry's
sports authority, that 84 of
every 100 Israelis do not
exercise or participate in
sports; 13 of every 100 take
part in some sports activity
one to three times a month;
and 3 of every 100 "pursue
the sort of activity that can
do their health some good."
In case Knesset members
think they are exempt, Rass-
kin assured them that they
are "in especially bad
shape."

'Daf Yomi' Defined

BY RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX

(Copyright 1972, JTA, Inc.)

The term "Daf Yomi"
means "Daily Leaf." This re-
fers to a leaf of two pages in
the Talmud.

World Project

Jewry has been made vacant
by President Nixon's nomina-
tion of Richard Davies, Dep-
uty Assistant Secretary of
State for European Affairs,
as the new U.S. Ambassador
to Poland. Davies is known
to have played a central role
in State Department efforts
to relieve the plight of So-
viet Jews. He was the author
of a Department statement
last year which declared that
Congress was correct in de-
manding relief for Soviet
Jews.

Rabbi Meyer Shapiro,
head of the Yeshiva in Lub-
lin, inaugurated a practice
of having people study one
leaf of a Talmudic tractate
every day. The Babylonian
Talmud could thus be com-
pleted in about seven years.
This was done to encourage
the Jewish community to in-
volve itself in the study of
the Holy Talmud on a daily
basis.
This practice soon spread
to many Jewish commu-
nities all over the world,
including Israel. Since the cy-
cle began on a certain day
the effect was that Jews
throughout the world could be
studying the same leaf on
the same day. This also led
to a certain sense of unity to
Jews all over the world who
become united in the study of
the Holy Talmud.

MRS. JAMES LUBASKI

t

Rhoda Dee Lipsky and
James Edward Lubaski were
married recently at the
Birmingham Temple. Rabbi
Sherwin Wine officiated.
The bride is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Irving Lin-
sky of Templar Cir., South-
field. The bridegroom is the
son. of Mrs. Blanche Miller
of Columbus, 0. and the late
James Steven Lubaski.
The couple will reside in
Southfield.

`Observant Jews
Less Prone to
Heart Attacks'

TEL AVIV (ZINS) — A
nine-year medical study by
Tel Hal's'homer Hospital's
Prof. Jacob Madaly has
established that the incidence
of heart attacks among ob-
servant Jews is 50 per cent
less than among secular in-
habitants.
The survey states that
Yemenite Jews are singular-
ly free of heart attacks, al-
though it is difficult to assign
snecific reasons for this
ph-nomenon.
Dr. Yehezkel Civic man
stated that the incidence of
heart attacks in Israel is the
highest in the world, reach-
ing epidemic proportions.
Fifty-two per cent of ass
deaths are attributable to
heart trouble, and 17 per
cent to cancer.
Dr. Clurman also criticized
the physical fitness of Israeli
youth, which, he contends,
is among the lowest in the
western world.
Twenty per cent of army
draftees are found to be
overweight. Obesity is also
prevalent among kibutzniks,
owing to the industrialization
and urbanization of their
settlements.

Ex-Night Watchman
New Ambassador

NEW YORK (ZINS)—De-
spite the strong protests of
Foreign Minister Abba Eban,
Simha Dinitz will take over
as Israel's ambassador to the
United States.
Many years ago, the am-
bassador-designate was night
watchman at the Israel Em-
bassy in Washington.
Informed circles believe
that Golda Meir's insistence
on Dinitz is due to her desire
for more direct lines of com-
munication with Washington.
In labor circles,
Mrs
Meir's insistence on the
Dinitz appointment is seen
as an omen that she may
yet decide to remain as
prime minister after the next
elections.

JERUSALEM—The World
Jewish Bible Society has just
published a Triennial Tanakh
Study Calendar covering the
929 chapters of the Tanakh
in connection with a world-
wide plan of home Bible
reading of one chapter • day.
Initiation of the plan was
taken up in consultation with
the directors of commissions
on adult Jewish education of
the major national Jewish or-
ganizations, including t h e
three denominational syna-
gogue groups.
The Triennial Calendar con-
tains basic information of a
Hebrew-English calendar for
the years 5733, 5734 and
5735. One of the features is
the verse of the week, taken
from one of the readings of
that week, which is recom-
mended for more intensive
study or contemplation.
Individuals, congregations
or organizations can join the
program at any time.
A registry of participants
in this program of home read-
ing is being drawn up at the
society's central headquar-
ters in Jerusalem. The first
entries are those of the pres-
ident of Israel, Zalman Sha-
zar, who serves as president
of the World Jewish Bible
Society, and of David Ben-
t Gurion, president of the Is-
rael Society for Biblical Re-
search.
A companion publication
of the society is a new quar-
terly bulletin, Dor le-Dor,
containing scholarly articles,
notes on selected verses of
the week and question-answer
items of selected sidrot for
family Bible discussions.
Inquiries are to be ad-
dressed to the World Jewish
Bible Society, 9 Brenner St.,
POB 7024, Jerusalem, Israel.

Ray Charles Concert Erupts in Near Riot

JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
riot was narrowly averted
last week at the Binyanei
Haooma concert hall, where
the black American singer
Ray Charles was giving a
concert.
The audience at the first
show refused to leave the
hall when it was over be-
cause an American television
crew filming the perform-
ance had repeatedly dis-
rupted the concert.
The audience for the sec-
ond show surged into the
auditorium despite efforts by
the ushers to keep them out.
Fist fights broke out in
front of the stage, but more
serious trouble was averted
when the management de-
cided to allow the first audi-
ence to remain for the
second show.

JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
group of 25 American-Jewish
journalists and public rela-
tions personnel are back
home generally satisfied with
their nine-day "study mis-
sion" in Israel, arranged
and conducted by the Ameri-
can Zionist Federation and
the Jewish Agency's organ-
ization and information de-
partment.

Charles Baumohl, man-
aging editor of the Jewish
News of Newark, N. J., com-
plained that there were too
few bona fide newsmen and
too many officials and public
relations people in the party.
Joseph Hochstein, editor
and publisher of the Jewish
Week
In Washington, ob-
served that it was "absurd
and frustrating" to have
"off the - record" briefings
with more than two dozen
people in the room.
The group met with cabi-
net ministers and other of-
ficials, with former Premier
David Ben-Gurion and with
recent „emigres from the
Soviet Onion.
