To let them operate was the least Lebanon could settle for during the 1967 war. There were 20,000 guer- rillas in Lebanon in the late '60s and by clever diplomacy the Lebanese got the number reduced to 10,000, or there- abouts, and how they wish they could get rid of these 10,000!

NOW '19 and '24 iiac • LETTER BOX Improper Mezuzot Discovered During Drive Editor, The Jewish News: As part of the five-fold "mitzva campaign" launched recently, we of the Midwest Lubavitch organization have been taking down mezuzos by the hundreds from the doors of people's homes i n the greater Detroit area, in or- der to examine them for wear and tear. We were not at all pre- pared for what we found. We had expected to find a fair number of hand-written, parchment mezuzos that had once been kosher, but whose lettering had fa d e d or cracked due to age and were therefore possul or unfit. In- stead, what has met our hor- rified eyes over the past two weeks is a flood of mezuzos that never were kosher in the first place and which therefore constituted a grave deception of the unwary homeowner who purchased them in good faith. Among our "prize specimens" (a few of which are now on display in the lobby of the Lubavit- cher Center in Oak Park) are: Hundreds of mezuzos which, though handwritten on parchment, have many un- intelligible or distorted let- * * * ters, cracks or breaks in the letters throughout, letters or even words missing—all of which render them absolute- ly unfit according to Jewish law; "Mezuzos" printed on pa- per! A "mezuza" containing the correct Torah portions — but written by a layman in ordi- nary script with a ballpoint pen on paper! A "mezuza" containing the 10 Commandments in English printed on paper! We call on the Jewish com- munity to take immediate steps to supervise the hala- khic fitness of all religious articles such as tefillin or mezuzos. We further issue a warn- ing to all members of the community—DO NOT TAKE m acl rilujiC Jrcc Sincerely, YITSCHAK M.

This is the first meeting of the Jewish Agency As- sembly which I have ever attended. Frankly, I was immensely impressed with the leadership which the Americans have given to the reconstituted agency This is particularly true for Max Fisher, whose presence is definitely felt and for whom there is an immense amount of respect. He carries great influence. Since I have known him for a couple of decades, it was a special pleasure to watch him "operate." He is especially forceful in con- nection with the problem of the universities which has taken me to Israel for the fourth time this year. With respect to the general political atmosphere, it is important to observe that one feels more confident about the outlook when there than when here. One forgets instantly about the survival syndrome. This is almost inevitable, for whether dealing with higher education, or housing, or im- migration, or scientific re- search, one is instantly caught up in plans which in- volve a span of time at least 10 years or perhaps 25. Incidentally, Nixon made a tremendous impression on the country. I was there at the time. His remarks about Golda were perceptive, beau- tifully stated, and well re- c e i v e d. She, incidentally, gave a superb talk at an afternoon session of the Agency assembly — one of her best.
