J
Passover Pledge: To Keep Up Our Endeavors
By MANDELL L. BERMAN
President, Jewish
Welfare Federation
Passover, our traditional
Feast of Freedom, affords us
opportunity to reflect on our
history as a people. To each
other we prayerfully recount
the triumphs and deliver-
ances which the Jewish peo-
ple have enjoyed.
Our own era in history will
undoubtedly be recorded as
a distinguished period in the
saga of the Jewish people.
Within our days, we have
seen the rebirth of the state
of Israel, culmination of the
age-old dream. After many
years- of a continuing strug-
gle for survival, we now en-
joy with her the glimmerings
of a deeply hoped-for peace.
During this holiday we take
pride in our strength during
crises, both those long-past
and those within our own
memories.
It has been 180 days since
the dreadful unprovoked at-
tack on Israel on the holiest
day" of Yom Kippur. During
these past months, Jews
everywhere have come to-
gether to support the Israeli
people — financially, emo-
tionally and in every other
possible way. Youth and
adults who were volunteer
workers in our 1974 Allied
Jewish Campaig n-Israel
Emergency Fund were un-
stinting in their efforts of
support for Israel's programs
in housing, education, and
immigrant absorption: pro-
grams disrupted by the war's
onset and threatened by its
ensuing financial burden
which must now be borne by
the Israelis. These endeavors
One is never so happy or
so unhappy as one imagines.

MANDELL L. BERMAN
by so many of our fellow De-
troiters produced the best
results of any fund-raising in
our community's history.
The bond of brotherhood
has given us a foundation
upon which to continue to
build our own strong com-
munity here in Detroit. It is
one which prospers now, pro-
viding strength and enrich-
ment of our Jewish life
through education, health and
welfare, and community re-
lations programs and ser-
vices.
We gratefully acknowledge
the commitment which built
our community and we re-
vere the memory of those
whose leadership brought
about its present high status
and reputation.
Appreciative of our ability
to provide the means for our
own Jewish life, while also
being our brothers' keepers,
we must promise to keep up
Maloff's Warning to Eastern
Iatellectuals: Avoid the West
Heartland. Sounds as down-
home wholesome as a break-
fast cereal.
But the "Heartland" Saul
Maloff refers to in. his novel
of that name (Scribner's) is
anything but. More like
Heartburn, actually, for the
pair of Eastern (Jewish)
guest lecturers who stumble
into a den of shiksa she-
wolves on a Western college
campus.
Throughout,. Maloff ex-
hausts the gamut of Jewish
self-flagellation, as _ experi-
enced by the hero, Isaiah
Greene, a fearful New York
intellectual, and by the an-
tihero Fox, a slightly nuts
and very crass poet who
makes Greene cringe every
time he opens his mouth.
The most likeable charac-
ter is a militant philosemi-
tic shiksa (Maloff's crazy
about the word shiks a)
named Shoshana MacDonald
whose passion for Jewish
causes puts Greene's own in-
nocent bystanding to shame.
Although Maloff displays
a maddening tendency to lit-
erary overkill, he does offer
some redeeming passages.
One is the catalytic incident
in which Fox teaches the
Protestant denizens of Don-
ner Pass College for Women
to substitute the word Jews
for Easterners:
"Now I want you to say
after me, and I want you to
say it, not whisper, not mum-
ble it—but say it. I'll go first
—it's always easier that way
—and then you follow. Okay,
now. Jews. Jews. Jews. Jews.
you don't know
where to go
for dinner.
Like that. Okay now: one,
two, ,,three. Got it? One anda
two -anda three. Jews. Jews.
Jews. Jews anda Jews anda
Jews." .
Another choice incident fol-
lows Greene's embarrassed
recitation of some Hebrew,
over which one girl raptures:
" 'That's marvelous. That's
really super. Oh, wow. I can
really believe God spoke that
way. Wow, wow, wow. I
mean, it's so . . . so hard to
say. I could never say those
things.' To prove the point,
she tried a guttural. She
cleared her throat, gargled,
strangled briefly, coughed
twice and, trying a final time
from the starting position,
carefully moved the sound
forward to the root of her
tongue, and—sensing failure
there—breathed it the rest
of the distance of her mouth,
finally expelling it in a soft
whooshing expiration through
circled lips. 'Damn,' she
pouted, annoyed with her-
self. 'Damn, damn, damn. I
did so want to do that well.' "
But don't let the sweet in-
nocence fool you. The girls
of Donner Pass decorate their
trophy rooms with . guest
lecturers.
Except for Maloff's dis-
tracting ramblings, he cap-
tures the essence of the
"Easterner's" dilemma when
he crosses the Continental
Divide.

any attempt to divert it only
irritates.—Samuel Johnson.
