The Confession
The Talmud, in the name
of Rab indicates that confes-
sions may be recited in the
course of very weekday
prayer. Mainionides claims
that'one cannot be forgiven
for what he did to his fellow
man unless he confesses his
wrongdoing. Jewish law re-
quires confession before
death. The five services of
Yom Kippur each have a
cc
;- sional. It is therefore
of
that confession is
ver) l..-tiuch a part of Jewish
tradition. Judaism insists,
however, that the confession
be made between the indivi-
dual and the Almighty with
no mediator.
A man possesses only what
he gives away.—Elie Wiese'.

Aide to Rep. Chisholm Denies
Bias Charge of Israeli 'Lawyers
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Thaddeus Garret, chief as-
sistant to Rep. Shirley Chis-
holm (D-N.Y.) emphatical-
ly denied that he had made
anti-Israel and anti-Semitic
remarks attributed to him
last month by a group of
visiting Israeli lawyers. He
characterized the allegations
as "junk," "erroneousr and
"completely wrong."
The 12 lawyers who were
here as guests of the U.S.
Bar. Association under an ex-
change program with the Is-
rael Bar Association, report-
ed on an interview they had.
with Garrett in Rep. Chis-
holm's office. They said that
among other things, Garret
had "accused Israel of in-
humane acts toward Arab
refugees" and had complain-
ed that "only the Arab guer-
rilla activities come up in
the (American) press and
TV" because the media is
"governed by Jews."
The allegations were con-
tained in a letter signed by
E. 'Rubinstein, a Tel Aviv
lawer, on behalf of himself
and his colleagues and sent
to Rep. Chisholm.
Garrett said, "I don't know
where Rubinstein made up
this junk. Do you think I'm
so dumb that I would say
things like that? People who
make charges that American
Jews control America are the
lowest types of anti-Semites."
"Our position is that we
are very hopeful the Middle
East talks will resume in
Geneva, that the U.S. efforts
by Secretary of State Kis-
singer will achieve a settle-
ment and that the refugee
situation will be resolved,"
he added.
THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
"Without question," he ad-
ded, "Israel should bei a
sovereign Jewish state with
the protection and interna-
tional support of whatever
boundaries are agreed upon
by the parties involved in the
settlement talks."
Garrett noted that a repre-
sentative of the American
Bar Assoc la d o n, Peter
Wright, and the director of
the International Legal Ex-
change Program, Catherine
Ebert, "were Present at the
meeting" with the Israeli
attorneys • "and can fully
vouch for what took place."
The Nov. 7 story contain-
ing the allegations by the Is-
raeli lawyers reported Rep.
Chisholm's position paper on
"The Middle East Crisis"
which she issued in 1972
when seeking the DemOcratic
Presidential nomination and
her statement that it "deli-
neates my humanitarian atti-
tude" towards the crisis.
Her paper and her state-
ment were contained in her
reply to Washington attorney
Martin Lobel to whom the
Israeli lawyers had written
about the visit to her office.
In her communication to
Lobel, Rep. Chisholm did not
mention Garrett's views but
observed thtat he had been
"specifically" invited by the
American Bar Association to
speak with the visitors."
The first two are not deem-
ed to be valid credentials of
personal worth, but a man's
good deeds precede him and
prepare him for the road to
eternity.
