TEL AVIV — Our sages
said, "If there is no flour,
there is no learning." This
is also true of the Israeli
army. It is not only import-
ant how to fight efficiently
against the enemy, but also
how to make life easier for
the soldiers after the battles.
A visit to the Army Food
Supply Center here revealed
that everything is prepared
and supplied to the soldiers
from tasty Brazil coffee to
different sorts of meat-steak,
boiled chicken, sausages; as
well as fruit, beverages,
candy, chocolate cakes, etc.
This army department has
to provide hundreds of thou-
sands of meals every day for
the Israeli soldiers posted on
the peak of Mt. Hermon, at
Kilometer 101 on the Suez-
Cairo road, at the Red Sea
at Sharm el Skeikh and in
Adabi, near Port Suez. When
Adabi was captured, huge
quantities of food were found
—a million kgs. of Brazil
coffee, a quarter million
kgs. Swiss cheese, 300,000
kgs. meat, etc. As long as
we were holding over 8,000
Egyptian• prisoners-of-war, it
was used to feed them, but
now we do not know what
to do with the rest of the
meat, since all the army
kitchens are strictly kosher.
In the big meat hall, we
met the ritual slaughterers,
Hate Group
to Be Probed
by the IRS
NEW YORK (JTA)—Con-
gressman Hugh L. Carey
(D., N.Y.) announced that
Internal Revenue Commis-
sioner Donald C. Alexander
is, at his request, immediate-
ly auditing the neo-Nazi Na-
tional Youth Alliance of Ar-
lington, Va., to determine
why they were granted an
exemption from federal in-
come taxes.
Carey called for the IRS
review when columnist Jack
Anderson recently disclosed
that the NYA, headed by for-
mer Nazi William L. Pierce,
had a major tax exemption
as a result of the IRS ap-
proval of the group's appli-
cation in October.
A check of the application
revealed that the NYA, a
branch of the arch-conserva-
tive Liberty Lobby, listed it-
self as a group "engaged in
charitable activities . . .
helping to build character,
patriotism, a sense of com-
munity, and an appreciation
of the American heritage in
young Americans."
The group, however, is the
sponsor of anti-Semitic and
anti-Black hate mail and the
publisher of a magazine urg-
ing violence, bigotry and even
political assassinations.
The NYA had also man-
aged to gain reduced mailing
rates usually provided only
for nonprofit groups.
Anderson, in his syndicated
column published Dec. 26,
identified Pierce as a former
friend of the late George
Lincoln Rockwell, "fuehrer"
of the American Nazi Party.
Pierce once promised there
would be "a Jew hanging
from every lamppost in the
country."

The commander of this
military base, Col. Aharon
Meisels, told us what a big
job it is to send hundreds of
trucks every day with food
to all the fronts and military
bases. There are even places
where the food is flown in
by helicopter and transport
planes.
Special dishes such as
pumas, tehina and rice are
sent to soldiers from Oriental
communities. The 'deliveries
include cigarettes, soap.
razor blades, eau de cologne,
toothpaste, as well as per-
fume and cosmetics for the
women soldiers.
The commander told us
that for Hanuka special tra-
ditional cakes were sent to
the soldiers. Now plans are
being made for Purim and
Pesah.
Professional cooks at all
military bases said food, is
prepared to suit the soldiers'
tastes. Major Markevitch,
who comes from Romania,
told us with a smile. "There
is no alternative. We shall
finally also have to • cook
mamaliga for the soldiers of
Romanian origin."
Half of All Israel's Reservists
Released; New Callup Seen
TEL AVIV (JTA) — The
Israel army's manpower
chief disclosed that about
half of the reservists called
to active duty when the Yom
Kippur War broke out have
been released but new call-
ups will be made for those
who did not serve, including
possibly Israelis living
abroad.
Gen. Herzl Shafir, head of
the manpower division at
general headquarters, said in
a radio interview that the
discharge of reservists was
intended to ease personal
burdens and economic dis-
locations resulting from war-
time manpower shortages.
He stressed, however, that
the situation still called for
a high state of mobilization.
He said the service of new
conscripts would be pro-
longed and that the call-up
dates of youths of draft age
would be advanced though
care would be taken not to
interfere with the examina-
tions and graduations of those
attending school.
About 1400 reserve soldiers
have been released from ac-
tive duty to fill key posts in
industry. Some 15,000 re-
quests for discharge have
been filed with the man-
power committee, it was re-
ported.
Shafir praised Israelis liv-
ing abroad who returned vol-
untarily to serve in the
armed forces when the war
broke out. He said a special
survey would be made to de-
termine whether to call back
others who did not return
home. He said efforts were
being made to locate Israelis
abroad with whom contact
Collegians Call Peers
`Ignorant on Israel'
NEW YORK (JTA) — A
group -of staff members of
the university programs de-
partment of the United Jew-
ish Appeal have described
as "astounding" what they
called "the lack of informa-
tion concerning Israel and
world Jewry on the part of
Jewish American college stu-
dents."
They asserted that the
problem raised "the paradox
that a generation which
knows so much about many
other vital social and politi-
cal issues knows so little
about the plight of world
Jewry and of Israel and their
roles in the world commun-
ity."

Gen. Shafir also announced
that a full list of Yom Kippur
War dead would be pub-
lished within six" weeks.
Truma, Ma'aser
Newly Defined
By RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX
(Copyright 1974, JTA, Inc.)
Teruma is the portion of
the crops that was given to
the priests in the days of the
Temple. The word "truma"
derives from a root which
means "to lift up" (Rom).
This somehow indicates that
by offering a portion of pro-
duce to the priests we would
be elevating the value of
physical production and en-
dowing it with some sense of
holiness, feeling that produce
comes from the Almighty as
a gift to mankind. There were
actually two kinds of tru-
ma; one given by an Israel-
ite to the priests, the other
given by the Levite from the
tithe which he received.
Ma'aser is the tithe. The
word comes from the He-
brew word for the number
10 which indicates that the
tithe is usually 1/10 of the
crop. Actually, there were
three kinds of tithes. The
first, that which was given by
an Israelite to a Levite- The
second, that which the Is-
raelite took off from his pro-
duce in the 1st, 2nd, 4th and
5th years of every seven
years cycle to bring to Jeru-
salem and to consume there.
The third, for the under-priv-
ileged, stranger, orphan, wid-
ow, etc. which an Israelite
took off from his crops in
the third and sixth years of
every seven year cycle.
Do Truma or Ma'aser
have relevance today?
There are authorities who
claim that the produce of the
Holy Land of Israel is sub-
ject to some kind of offering
representing these shares.
These requirements may not
be the original requirements
of the Torah, but they are
rabbinic requirements (some
authorities maintain that they
may be even today Torah re-
quirements). Therefore, there
are many authorities in Is-
rael who are very careful
that part of the produce is
taken off before the produce
of the land is consumed.
These are not given to the
priests or Levites today.
They are simply set aside in
minimal amounts and either
buried or wrapped up and
left to decay.

During the past 4 years, over 13,000 new car customers like yourself have
come to rely on Tamaroff Buick. And they have come to trust the Tamaroff
service department to keep their cars in top shape throughout the year.
So many people, in fact, have come to Tamaroff for Buicks, Opels and the
new Honda cars that Tamaroff Buick is now the largest Buick dealer in
Michigan. It makes sense that the state's largest dealer will provide the
kind of prices, service—and that "little something extra" — that will keep
his customers coming back year after year. Make this yoUr year for a Buick.
Make this your year for Tamaroff Buick.
