Love, Violence in Hurwitz Novel World Leaders Honor Dr. Nussbaum's Memory Rachel Vigodny is an Is- raeli law student, politically and passionately involved in her country's cause. David Koloff is a Boston student, equally zealous in his belief in nonviolence. Their love affair — begin- ning in America and ending in Israel—is the subject of :.Ken Hurwitz's latest novel, "The Line of David" (W. W. Norton and Co.). 1 Hurwitz satirically a n d \, brilliantly describes David's inY^lvement with the Boston - rground — full of drop- I Duos and drug users, where _ nothing is forbidden. As Rachel slowly makes David aware of his heritage and obligations as a Jew, David is torn between - his belief in nonviolence and the total, nationalistic commit- ment that Rachel's love de- mands. To him Rachel rep- resents a fierce, Old Testa- ment . zeal . that . measures only right and wrong, and scorns compromise. "Born a Jew, kill an Arab. Born an Arab, kill a Jew," David despairs. David and Rachel first meet on a street corner, as he tries to prevent a fight between her father and a teen-ager distributing anti- Zionist propaganda. The turning point in the novel takes place in Israel when David follows Rachel on a mission into guerrilla territory. David, facing an armed Arab, discovers what he fears most — his own capacity for violence. The timid reader must be cautioned; the author de- scribes the events in this story using a bold, uninhib- ited style—with little left to the imagination. Hurwitz graduated from Harvard University in 1970. His first book, "Marching Nowhere," describes t h e author's own fight to organ- ize a national protest to dramatize the 'antiwar feel- ing in the nation. —Daniel Pesselnick .

He was 64. Rabbi Nussbaum had been active until very recently. He presided at a public session of the Zionist Organization of America, in New York, four years ago, and it was on his motion that the elec- tion to the presidency of Dr. Joseph Sternstein was de- clared unanimous. " Rabbi Nussbaum, spiritual leader for 32 years of Tem- ple Israel in Hollywood, achieved fame for officiating at the conversions and mar- riages of a number of celeb- rities, including Elizabeth Taylor. Rabbi Nussbaum and his wife had just returned from a trip to Israel and Europe Why Ilayim'? The evident meaning of the name "Hayim" is "life." But as a proper name it is not mentioned in the Bible or even in the Talmud. Some feel that this name originated in the Middle Ages in Spain as a parallel to .a Spanish name "Jaime- which was transliterated into the Hebrew as "Hayyeemee." This in turn is said to have been derived from Latin names like Jacobus or some- times Jacomus. These Latin names are derived from the Hebrew biblical name 'Jacob. In the 13th and 14th cen- turies, the name Jaime seemed to have been quite popular among non-Jews in Spain because it was a name of a popular king. The Jews, seeing how popular this name was among non-Jews and at the same time noticing how similar its pronunciation was to the word hayim seemed to have .adopted the name. Some say that the name was given to a gravely ill person as an omen for life. After a while, a number of people acquired this name under such circumstances. Since Jews name their children after predecessors in the family, the name hayim was thus popularized.

NEW YORK — The Zion- ist Organization of America called on the agricultural committees of the House and Senate to use America's dominant poSition in food production as leverage in in- d u c i n g the oil-producing nations to lower their prices. Classifieds Get Quick Results The latest price rise of oil has created a serious crisis making it impossible to pur- chase the production and supply of fertilizers in de- veloping countries, especially India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Ghana. This aggravates the al- ready serious food shortages in these developing lands, and skyrockets the prices of existing food products, the ZOA statement said. CARACAS — The Bernard Van Leer Foundation of the H a g u e, Netherlands, has made a grant of DFI 600,000 (approximately $235,000) for a one-year pilot program to provide creative education classes in the poor districts of Caracas and other de- pressed urban areas of Vene- zuela. The agreement — signed by Foundation Director Dr. Willem Welling and Vene- zuelan Minister of Education Dr. Luis Manuel Penalver — stipulates that ORT will assume responsibility for the actual project operation. The program is geared to provide creative education to children age 4-6. ORT, which introduced creative education into the Jewish schools of Caracas in December 1971, will make use of that experience in setting up the program. It was in large part because of its ongoing program in Caracas Jewish schools that ORT was chosen as the op- erating agency for this new program.
