Efforts Mount
Spanish Jews May Become More to Save Pact
Integrated, AJCommittee Says With Syrians
18—Friday, Sept. 20, 1974
NEW YORK — Jews in
Spain are seeking to have
their children, become more
fully integrated into Spanish
life, the American Jewish
Committee reported Sunday.
According to the commit-
tee's European office, Jewish
parents in Madrid and Bar-
celona, who have until re-
cently sent their children to
French high s c h o o l s for
French - language education,
are now requesting instruc-
tion in Spanish as well.
The Spanish Ministry of
Education, has agreed to

recognize the qualifications
of non-Spanish teachers, such
as those trained by the Al-
liance Israelite Universelle,
and to grant subsidies to Jew-
ish schools accepting govern-
ment jurisdiction.
This was due, at least in
part, to the influx of Jews
form Tangiers and Tetuan
in what was formerly Spanish
Morocco. These Jews, the
committee noted , were less
resistant to putting their
children into Spanish schools,
although the Jewish com-
munity as a whole apprently
was not unanimously in favor
of so doing.
However, the committee in-
dicated, the Spanish Ministry
of Education's acceptance of
the special needs of the Jew-
ish community was having its
effects, as was the increas-
ing interest in acquiring
Spanish citizenship for Jews
from Morocco and elsewhere.
The acquisition of Spanish
citizenship for the Moroccan
Jews can be vital for their
well-being, the committee
stressed. Because of the pres-
ent hostility between Mor-
occo and Spain, Morocco has
been taking measures against
Spanish citizens there, and
Spain is now retaliating
against Moroccans.
The Jewish Community has
apparently been successful in
showing that Jews who had
to leave Morocco are in a dif-
ferent category than other
Moroccans living in, Spain.
The needs of Jewish
schools in Spain were high-
lighted recently by Phillippe
Halioua, president of the Ma-
drid Jewish community. Ha-
lioua was seeking support for
the creation of a new Jewish
school in Madrid, since an
older structure, attended by
110 Jewish youngsters, was
in such poor condition that
the Spanish authorities were
about to condemn it as un-
suitable.
Halioua estimated that the
cost of a new building would
be about $300,000, of which
half could be raised locally.

TO THOSE WITH AMBITIONS,
In 1966 I opened the first KINGS ROW Fireplace Shop. My idea
was to have a chain of specialty shops where the consumer could
find the largest and most varied selection of fireplaces, fireplace
equipment and unique home decorative accessories. Now my vision
is a reality and the 68 successful KINGS ROW Shops, in 20 states
across the country, are satisfying the needs of people who love the
romance and warmth of fireplaces.
Our stores offer a customer, decorator styling, quality products
and home services. The KINGS ROW Stores are profitable operations
but we need more people who qualify to be owners of new stores as
the demand for our business expands. In these days of shortages
the greatest shortage is that of self-motivated people who want to work hard to get ahead.
I have store locations in enclosed shopping malls waiting to make money. If you have
$5,000 to $80,000 that you are ready to invest, to be in business for yourself, I can put you
into a KINGS ROW Fireplace Shop. I will personally meet with you and, if you are the right
person,.) will tailor a program to your financial capabilities. You can grow financially and build
equity while enjoying a business of your ciwn.
If you are a hard worker and are determined to succeed, call me. Collect.
Sincerely

JERUSALEM (JTA)—Sen-
ior United Nations officials
have been conducting talks
with Syrian authorities in
Damascus in an effort to
prevent the disengagement
agreement from co m i n g
apart.
An Israeli Radio report
quoting UN sources here said
that Gen. Ensio Siilasvuo,
commander of the United Na-
tions Emergency Force was
participating in the talks and
was joined by Roberto Guyer,
the personal representative
of UN Secretary General
Kurt Waldheim.
Guyer's appearance in Da-
mascus was a surprise and
indicated the extremely seri-
ous nature of the talks,
sources here said. Siilasvuo
went to Damascus aftetr a
meeting with Defense Minis-
ter Shimon Peres.
Israel had complained to
the UN of increasingly provo-
cative Syrian violations of
the separation of forces and
limitation of forces agree-
ments. Israel is particularly
concerned over Syria's con-
struction of a strategic road
to the summit of Mt. Hermon
which is located in the UN
buffer zone.
Scandinavians Tell
Optimism on M.E.
Peace 'Settlement
REYKJAVIK (JTA) —
The foreign ministers of the
Scandinavian countries ex-
pressed optimism here last
week that progress will be
achieved toward a permanent
peace settlement in the
Middle East despite grave
obstacles that still exist.
That view was contained
in the official communique
issued at the close of the
ministers' traditional meet-
ing in the Icelandic capital.
The nations represented were
Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
Finland and Iceland.
The ministers urged in
their communique that the
impetus toward `a just and
lasting peace take into ac-
count all due considerations
including the legitimate
rights of the Palestinians."
The group stressed the role
of international effort to
maintain the fragile peace in
the Middle East and praised
especially ,the contributions
of the UN's peace-keeping
forces in the region.
Many Brazil Jews
in Trade, Commerce
NEW YORK (ZINS) — A
study by Noah Ohrein on the
economic position of Brazil's
Jews, published in the Jour-
nal of Theoretical Science of
the World Zionist Movement
( B 'tfutzot Ha golah — 68/67 ) ,
shows that a majority of Bra-
zil's 169,000 Jews work in
trade and commerce fields.
There are approximately
10,000 Jews in the free pro-
fessions of whom 2,500 are
physicians; 1,000 are dentists
and pharmacists; 2,000 engi-
neers and technicians; 1,500
lawyers; and 2,500 econo-
mists, accountants, bank di-
rectors, scientists, university
teachers and instructors. The
Jewish student body in uni-
versities n u m b e r s about

Yom Ha-Kippurim: Repentance Defined
The Day of Atonement,
Yom ha-Kippurim, is a holy
day of fasting on which man
must purify himself. As the
Bible states: "For on this
day shall atonement be made
for you, to cleanse you; from
all your. sins shall ye be
clean before the Lord." (Lev.
16:30).
Repentance is a prerequi-
site for divine forgiveness.
God will not pardon a man
unconditionally but waits for
him to repent, the Encyclo-
pedia Judaica declares. In
repentance man must exper-
ience genuine remorse for the
wrong he has committed and
then convert his penitential
energy into positive acts. Man
has been endowed by God
with the power of "turning."
He can turn from evil to the
good, and the very act of
turning will activate God's
concern and lead to forgive-
ness.
ancient
In the religion
Israel, in contrast to
to that of
•. its • neighbors, sacrificial rit-
uals are not be themselves
purifying, the authoritative
Encyclopedia Judaica states.
While the required ritual is
carried out by the priest, its
desired end, forgiveness, is
granted solely by God. An-
other limitation placed upon
sacrifical means of obtaining
forgiveness is that it can only
apply to inadvertant -errors.
Blatant contempt of God can-
not be expiated by sacrifice
or any other means. More-
over, contrition and compas-
sion are vital elements of all
rituals of forgiveness. It is
not enough to hope and pray
for pardon: man must humble
himself, acknowledge his
wrong and resolve to depart
from sin. At the same time,
remorse must be translated
into concrete deeds.
Divine forgiveness, how-
ever extensive, only encom-
passes those sins which man
commits directly against

TEL AVIV (ZINS) — Des-
pite a significant drop in
tourism, most Israeli hotels
are full.
According to informed
sources, it is still possible
to obtain accommodations in
the luxury hotels, but the
next grade of tourist hotels
are fully occupied and are
refusing to accept further
reservation. The phenomenon
is explainable partly because
many local Israeli families
have decided to spend their
vacation at home instead of
traveling abroad.
