Israel's Mai

areas Israel evacuates inside
the June 1967 lines would be
part of a United Nations buf-
fer zone and not re-occupied
by Syrian forces.
Israel was also said to be
offering a compromise on the
nature of the buffer zone.
Instead of a duplicate of the
Sinai arrangement in which
units of the United Nations
Emergency Force (UNEF)
garrisoned in a zone
...,arating Israeli and Egyp-
tian forces, Israel is pre-
pared' to settle for a zone
patrolled by armed mobile
UN forces to prevent incur-
sions. Syria has been de-
manding only a UN observer
(UNTSO) force which is un-
armed.
Israel is also prepared to
withdraw from all Syrian
territory it captured in the
Yom Kippur War last Octo-
ber. But part of that, includ-
ing the strategic peak of Mt.
Hermon, would be under UN
control. Observers said that
if disengagement is achieved
it would be followed by the
large-scale return of Syrian
civilians to the area. They
estimated that 65,000 civil-
ians would return to Kuneitra
•alone,,a ghost town since the
1.967 war.
Kissinger obtained the new
Israeli map after meeting
with Soviet Foreign Minister
Andrei Gromyko in Cyprus
Tuesday. Israeli Information
Minister Shimon Peres, who
participated in the talks with
the American negotiators
Tuesday night, said later that
Kissinger had asked Gromy-
ko to intervene actively with
the Syrians to convince them
of the necessity of reaching
a disengagement accord.
U.S. Ambassador - at - Large

singer's c hie f spokesman,

praisal of Kissinger's report

Feminists Form
Jewish Special
Interest Group

NEW YORK (JTA) — A
new organization has been
established to represent the
special interests of Jewish
feminists throughout the U.S.
and Canada both inside and
outside the Jewish commu-
nity, it was announced here
by Leora Fishman.
The group, known as the
Jewish Feminist Organiza-
ip
- will concern itself with
ious and secular prob-
ems and "defend the, in-
terests and images of the
Jewish women in the corn-
munity-at-large against ster-
eotyping," according to Miss
Fishman who was elected to
the hoard of the JFO.
The new group was
launched by the National
Conference on Jewish Wom-
en and Men which met here
last week to discuss sex roles
in Jewish life. More than 400
persons from cities across
the U.S. and Canada attend-
ed the three-day conclave.
The principal sponsor of
the conference was the North
American Jewish Students'
Network, an umbrella orga-
nization for hundreds of Jew-
ish student groups in high
schools and on college cam-
puses.

he agreed with the Israeli
minister that Israel has pre-
sented a new plan for con-
sideration by Damascus.
"I don't want to leave you
with the impression that this
is Israel's final position,"
McCloskey said. "There is a
possibility of an agreement,
but no certainty.
Kissinger's surprise trip to
Cyprus Tuesday morning for
a meeting with Soviet For-
eign Minister Andrei Gro-
myko was seen here as an
attempt by Kissinger to en-

list Soviet aid in breaking
the impasse that has devel-
oped over Israeli-Syrian dis-
engagement.
Gromyko returned to Mos-
cow after meeting with Kis-
singer for three hours in
Nicosia. Before leaving, Gro-
myko told reporters his talks
with the secretary had been
"useful and constructive."
Kissinger also met with
Ashraf Marwan, information
secretary of Egyptian Presi-
dent Anwar Sadat, who flew
in to Nicosia earlier Tuesday.

Orthodox Women Tell Discontent
Over 'Deprived' Religious Role

NEW YORK A Yeshiva
University educator, Rabbi
Saul Berman, attributes the
growing dissatisfaction among
young Orthodox Jewish wom-
en to "deprivation of oppor-
tunities for positive religious
identification, disadvantaged
position in areas of marital
law and relegation to -aserv-
ice role."
Writing in the current is-
sue of "Tradition," a journal
of Jewish thought, Rabbi Ber-
man calls upon the religious
leadership to provide "a
maximum of opportunities for
religious fulfillment for wom-
en within the structure of
Jewish law and a maximum
elimination of unfairness and
inequality." Rabbi Berman
is chairman of the depart-
ment of Judaic studies at
Stern College for Women.
Rabbi Berman said that it
is vital that religious leader-
ship recognize the "reality
of the religious quest" of
Jewish women. He called for
creative development of addi-
tional forms which they
might find necessary for their
religious growth. This could
involve their own forms of
public worship, creation of
new religious artifacts or
new patterns of communal
study.
According to Rabbi Ber-
man, "Jewish ethical sensi-
bilities continue to be

plagued" by the problems of
the reluctant husband who
refuses to give his wife a
Jewish divorce. While the
Jewish legal process may be
completely stymied in this
area, Rabbi Berman said he
feels that religious leadership
should turn to the civil courts.
It would be valid under Jew-
ish law, for a Jewish divorce
to be issued by a proper rab-
binic court under order of a
civil, non-Jewish court, Rab-
bi Berman said.
Turning to the social role
of the Jewish woman, Rabbi
Berman said that "we ought
to look more closely at the
potential for enrichment of
the traditional role of wife-
mother-homemaker, which be-
comes possible through its
supplementation with mean-
ingful engagement outside
the home. Meing a good_Jew-
ess does not mean forgoing
creativity and fulfillment be-
yond the context of the role
of homemaker."
However, the rabbi said
that intensive attempts
should be made to present
the case for the traditional
role of home and family. "It
may very well be the case
that the investment of one's
loyal personality in the en-
deavor of shaping the soul
of growing Jewish children
is the most fulfilling way in
which a person's energies
must be used."

Demand Release of Nazi-Hunter

by former Israeli POWs and
relatives of POWs still in
Syria. The demonstrators
carried placards reading
"Release Beate" and "Jail
the Nazis.")
Mrs. Klarsfeld was in the
news two years ago when she
claimed to have tracked down
the notorious Klaus Barbie,

the former Gestapo chief in
Lyon, who is under sentence
of death in France. She
claimed he was living in
Bolivia under the alias of
Klaus Altmann. Considerable
evidence was obtained from
West Germany ' indicating
that Altmann is Barbie but
extradition failed to mater-
ialize. Recently Mrs. Klars-
feld has been active in behalf
of Israeli POWs in Syria.

Friday, May 10, 1974 - 5

Kissinger returned to Israel
and went directly to Jerusa-
lem to meet with Premier
Golda Meir and other top
Israeli officials. He declined
to make any statement when
he 'arrived at Ben-Gurion
Airport.
The belief here is that
Kissinger reached the con-
clusion that Soviet help is
needed to persuade the Syr-
ians to end their escalation
of warfare on the northern
front and to relax the abso-
lute intransigence they have
demonstrated on disengage-
ment terms since Kissinger's
arrival in the region. As long
as the mini-war continues on
and around the Golan Heights,
disengagement talks will be
stalled. When he took off for
Nicosia it was apparent that
Kissinger had made no prog-
ress on either level.
But observers here were
quick to stress that the sec-
retary of state was not com-
ing "hat in hand" to his
Russian counterpart. They
expressed the belief that Kis-
singer would warn Gromyko
that Soviet non-cooperation
on the Israeli-Syrian disen-
gagement front could have
repercussions on the forth-
coming Moscow summit
meeting, trade issues and
other bilateral matters in
which the Soviets are vitally
interested.
(The White House said that
President Nixon would like to
visit Cairo but that no plans
had been made for such a
visit. The comment by White
House Press Secretary Ron-
ald Ziegler was in response
to press reports from Cairo
that Mr. Nixon would visit
there in early June, on his
way to the summit meeting
in Moscow.)
Kissinger Pledges
Security for Israel
TEL AVIV (JTA)—Secre-
tary of State Henry A. Kis-
singer, on his arrival in Is-
rael, May 2, on a U.S. Air
Force jet for the new nego-
tiations, stated:
"I came here to continue
discussions with the govern-
ment on the same problems
of peace and in the same
spirit of friendship that

characterized our previous
discussions. I came to dis-
cuss not concessions but se-
curity. I came not to exert
pressure but to attempt to
reach lasting peace which
this people, courageous and
learned of suffering, de-
serves."
Foreign Minister Abba
Eban, who was •at tne airport
to greet Kissinger and his
wife, Nancy, stressed the
bonds of friendship between
Israel and the U.S. which he
declared were strong enough

to overcome differences of
opinion.
A group of demonstrators
marched outside the airport
gates carrying signs protest-
ing U.S. support of an anti-
Israel resolution in the Se-
curity Council last week.
