Youth Urged to Rate
Israel on Its Merits
BUENOS AIRES (JTA)—
An Israeli diplomat urged
Jews here, especially the
youth, not to measure Is-
rael by conventional yard-
sticks. Itzhak Harkavi, until
recently Israel's Ambassador
to Brazil, said that his coun-
try faced such challenges
that it was forced to absorb
(' criticism without offering
explanations in many cases.
Harkavi invited by the
Jewish Community Council
here to attend the opening of
the Jewish Book Fair, was
the luncheon guest of the
Latin American Jewish Con-
gress. He and his wife lived
in Argentina before going to
Israel 19 years ago.

Rabbi Rosenthal Explores Religious Problems,
Shows Confidence in Jews' Pursuit of Faith
Rabbi Gilbert S. Rosenthal
of Oceanside, N.Y., takes into
account all of the difficulties
that are now encountered by
the religious forces in this
country and he summarizes
his views with an expression
of optimism for a bright
future.
In "Four Paths to One
God" just published by
Bloch, he gives a full account
of the ideological approaches
of Reform, Orthodoxy, Con-
servatism and Reconstruc-
tionism, and poses the many
problems that are common
to American Jewry.
Many notables in the ranks
of the four religious Jewish
divisions are quoted exten-
sively, and the author does
not hesitate to refer to criti-
cisms as well as to definitive
declarations.
The late Rabbi Morris Ad-
ler is among those frequently
referred to for views on re-
ligious issues, in his case
