/lies and the Havura in syn-
agogues and academic circles.

The Havura, the Fellow-
ship, may develop into a
community which serves aris-
ing needs, but "society is in
such a state of transition
that is is impossible to know
what the next years will
bring," Bill Novak concludes
in a final chapter in this
book.
In the infancy of civiliza-
tion, when our island was as
savage as New Guinea, when
letters and arts were still
unknown to Athens, when
scarcely a thatched but stood
on what was afterward the
site of Rome, this condemn-
ed people had their fenced
cities and cedar palaces,
their splendid Temple, their
fleets of merchant ships,
their schools of sacred learn-
ing, their great statesmen
and soldiers, their natural
philosophers, their historians,
and their poets. What nation
ever contended more man-
fully against overwhelming
Emergence of the current
Havura movement gives the
studies in this volume special
timeliness. In his essay on
"An Academic Ha vur a,"
Prof. Elazar states:
"The development of havu-
rot may have consequences
for the level of activity in the
Jewish community at large
. . . If this is the case, the
havura idea may really have
the potentiality for reaching
Jews as individuals, while at
the same time rebuilding the
city of Jewish life with its
own bricks and mortar."

Being a military hero
seems to have much the
same charisma as being a
football star. Mrs. Ruth Da-
yan in her recently published
autobiography says that her
husband — from whom she
was divorced last year—was
inundated with love letters of
adoring girls. One young
woman even called Mrs.
Dayan and shriekingly de-
Judaism a Culture
If Judaism is to be pre-
served amidst the new con-
ditions, if lacking as it does,
all outward support, it is still
to withstand the pressure of
the surrounding influences, it
must again break the narrow
frame of a creed and resume
its original function as a cul-
ture, as the expression of the
Jewish spirit and the whole
life of the Jews. It will not
confine itself to a few meta-
physical doctrines, which af-
fect the head and not the
heart, and a few official cer-
emonies which affect neither
the head nor the heart, but
will encircle the whole life of
the Jew and give content and
color to its highest functions
and activities.—Israel Fried-
lander, in "Past and Pres-
ent."
manded to know "why your
husband ignores me."
Only the world of sports
and military life seems to
evoke such affection. Maybe
Nobel Prize winners in
physics also get love letters,
but we doubt it. We know a
fellow who wrote a wonder-
ful book on Deuteronomy but
he never got even one love
letter.
Mrs. Dayan must be as
brave as her husband. To
tell all as she has apparently
done in 'her book, one must
be brave.

According to the Israeli
daily, Maariv, Golda Meir,
out of curiosity, asked one of
the recent Russian immi-
grants what he thought should
be done about the occupied
territory.
"Well," he replied, "ter-
ritories which were freed
should be kept, but those
which were conquered, should
be given their freedom."
"Which were freed and which
were conquered?" asked Mrs.
Meir.
"Well, such territories as
Golan Heights, Gaza, Sinai
were freed and should be
kept. But territories like
Romania, Hungary, Czecho-
slovakia were conquered and
they should be let go."

Hank Greenspun, who has

(Copyright 1973, JTA, Inc.)
been visiting Israel with the
Israel Bond Organization del-
egation, is editor of a paper
in Nevada. If that is not
distinction enough, he was
also the man who was able
to find arms for Israel in
the Six-Day War when the
Great Powers were refusing
to come to Israel's aid.
Nevada has always inter-
ested us. It was the state in
which Mark Twain began his
literary career. Mark Twain,
by the way, worked for a
paper in Nevada whose pub-
lisher, Joseph Goodman, was
a Jew. Nevada was the home
of the first American winner
of the Nobel Prize — Albert
Michaelson. The award was
given for Michaelson's dis-
covery of the speed of light.
Einstein used Michaelson's
discovery for his relativity
theory.

Jew's Humanity
The Jew has suffered so
much hurt, he has endured
so many injustices, experi-
enced so completely the mis-
ery of life, that pity for the
poor and the humiliated has
become second nature to him.
And in his agonized wander-
ings, he has seen at close
range so many men of all
races, and of all countries,
different everywhere a n d
everywhere alike, that he has
understood, he has felt in the
flesh of his flesh, that Man
is one as God is One. Thus
was formed a people which
may have the same vices and
the same virtues as other
peoples, but which is without
doubt the most human of all
peoples. —Edmund Fleg, in
"Why I Am a Jew."
He who cleaves to sinners,
even if he does not imitate
them, shares in their punish-
ment—Abot d'R Nathan.

More use should be made
of the coal resources of the
world, according to Golda
Meir. "Moses," she said, "led
the Jews for 40 years in the
wilderness and didn't use
any oil." There is less pollu-
tion from power produced by
coal. A writer in the New
York Times proposed that
Israel inaugurate a crash pro-
gram to produce a satisfying
car run by electricity to help
save the world.
