Vienna Protests Emigrant Camp Myth of 'Sinister' Temples' Fight Spiralino-
rf, Costs
VIENNA (JTA)—More than
600 people of a Vienna sub-
urb have signed a protest
resolution asking for the re-
moval of a transit camp for
Jewish emigrants from the
Soviet Union.
People living near the
camp in the densely popu-
lated suburb of Simmering
complained t h a t Austrian
authorities sb far did not
announce any date when the
camp will be removed.
A Red Cross official said
there are no reasons to move
the camp.
Neighbors started protest
actions when the Jewish
camp was moved to a form-
er Simmering children's
home. Vienna Mayor Leopold

TII•
Gratz reacted by promising
to relocate the camp.
But the Ministry of Inte-
rior has not answered the
mayor's five-point alternate
proposals. The Austrian Red
Cross transferred the transit
camp without previous an-
nouncement from a former
army barracks at Woellers-
dorf, 25 miles south of
Vienna, to the Vienna sub-
urb in September.
The camp is run under the
supervision of the Austrian
Red Cross which is respons-
ible for the emigrants after
Chancellor Br u n o Kreisky
closed a Jewish Agency camp
at Schoenau last year.
Residents of the suburb
have protested that the camp
could be a target for Arab
terrorists, and endangers the
surrounding community.

By MARTIN BUBER
in "Israel and the World"
The Jewish people was, in-
deed, always a "sinister"
homeless specter. This peo-
ple, which resisted inclusion
in any category, a resistance
which the other peoples could
never become quite accus-
tomed to, was always the
first victim of fanatical mass
movements (the Crusades of
the 11th Century for in-
stance). It was branded as
the cause of mass misfor-
tunes ("the Jew is respon-
sible fqr the 'Black Death'").
No nifibir how hard it tried,
it never quite succeeded in
adjusting to its environment.
(The Inquisition followed up-
on Marranism.)
When I say that the na-
tions regard us as a specter
—and this myth is symbol-
ized in the form of the wan-
dering Jew — we must dis-
tinguish between being and
appearance. We ourselves
know very well that we are
not specters, but a living
community, and so we must
ask ourselves what our non-
classifiability really signifies.
Is it due merely to a lack of
vision and insight on the part
of the nations? Is it that we
can be fitted into a system,
only they are not able to do
it? Is this resistance of ours
to classification merely a
negative phenomenon, one
that is temporary? Does it
simply mean that we cannot
be classified until—at some
future time—we are?
We have only one way to
apprehend the positive
meaning of this negative phe-
nomenon: the way of faith.
From any viewpoint other
than faith, our inability to fit
into a category would be in-
tolerable, as something coun-
ter to history and counter to
nature. But from the view-
point of faith, our inability
to fit into a category is the
foundation and meaning of
our living avowal of the
uniqueness of Israel. We
would differentiate this
uniqueness from the general
uniqueness we attribute to
every group and each indi-
vidual. The uniqueness of Is-
rael signifies something
which in its nature, its his-
tory, and its vocation is so
individual that it cannot be
classified.

The Emperor Hadrian, hav:
ing returned from conquer-
ing the world, called his cour-
tiers and said to them, "Now
I demand that you consider
me God."
Hearing this, one of them
said, "Be pleased, then, Sir,
to aid me in this hour of
need."
"In what way?" asked the
emperor.
"I have a ship becalmed
three miles out at sea, and
it contains all I possess."
"Very well," Hadrian said.
"I will send a fleet to rescue
it."
"Why bother to do that?"
asked the courtier. "Send
merely a little puff of wind."
"But whence am I to get
the wind?"
"If you do not know," the
courtier retorted, "then how
can you be God who created
the wind?"
Hadrian went home highly
displeased. — Tanhuma Bere-

NEW YORK—The Union of
American Hebrew Congrega-
tions has launched a massive.
assistance campaign to help
Reform congregations cope
with economic crisis.
The program is designed
to produce additional funds
and membership as well as
pooling resources and pro-
grams.
At a meeting of the UAHC's
board of trustees, Rabbi
Alexander M. Schindler,
UAHC president, told the 180
members that both profes-
sionals and lay leaders must
join to aid the movement's
Dayan Defines
West Bank Plan
TEL AVIV (JTA) — For-
mer Defense Minister Moshe
Dayan unveiled his own plan
for the West Bank last Sat-
urday which, he said, envis-
ioned neither annexation nor
the return of any of the ter-
rktory to Arab sovereignty.
Dayan spoke to 200 mem-
bers of the United Jewish
Appeal Study Mission who
ware guests at his home near
Tel Aviv.
Asked if his signing two
weeks ago of a Likud petition
opposing any territorial con-
cessions on the West Bank
would jeopardize his political
career as a Labor Alignment
MK, Dayan replied, "I did
not think of Moshe Dayan. I
thought of the West Bank
even if it may undermine my
career."
He said he was speaking
out on territorial matters be-
cause he feared the govern-
ment was displaying too
great a readiness to give up
territories for little or noth-
ing in return in the way of a
peace settlement. He said he
did not insist that the Is-
raeli flag be hoisted over the
West Bank. But he opposed
a Jordanian flag or even a
Palestinian one.
"We must demand three
points," Dayan said. "No
partition of the West Bank;
our right to settle there; and
no foreign armies there."
He said that while the Is-
raeli Army would defend the
West Bank, Israel .would not
intervene in the internal af-
fairs of the West Bank inhab-
itants, except in matters of
security, and they would be
free to send their represen-
tatives to Jordan if they
wished.
Dayan said the A r abs
might not accept his plan,
but they accept no plan other
than total Israeli withdrawal,
and they are not even pre-
pared to offer peace in ex-
change for that, he said.
Hospital Needs Books
NEW YORK — A national
drive for donations of medi-
cal books for the newly-

The- campaign is being co-
ordinated by the Israel Inter-
national Information Council

ments can be made directly

When an opportunity to do
a good deed presents itself,
do not put it off saying, in
effect, "It will wait for a
greater opportunity."
