THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
An Open Letter To The Jewish Youth
Of Metropolitan Detroit
Dear Jewish Brothers and Sisters,
O.K. Let's Tell It Like It Is:
By MURRAY ZUCKOFF
and YITZHAK RABI
• There is a vacuum of Jewish values in our lives
• Most of us are Jews in name only
• Most of us are illiterate in our Hebrew language
• We have not really experienced Jewish living
• We have not really experienced Jewish learning
• We are in fact ignorant of our Torah
• We are losing our ties with our past
• Judaism relates to every crucial issue of the day — and we don't know it.
There Is A Language, A Law, A Learning, A Love That Is Yours:
If yours is a desire to experience and study Torah . . .
If yours is a desire to talk to someone about Judaism, to ask a question . . .
If you feel the challenge to discover yourself as a Jew
then come to the FREE JEWISH HIGH
We can help you!

NEW YORK (JTA) — Is-
raeli Foreign Minister Yigal
Allon and Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko
met for three hours last
Wednesday at the Soviet
Mission to the United Na-
tions. The meeting took
place at the initiative of Al-
lon and all aspects of the Mi-
deast situation were dis-
cussed by the two leaders.
According to the Israeli
spokesman, Israeli Ambas-
sador Chaim Herzog ar-
ranged the meeting.
The Soviets responded
favorably. Accompanying
Allon at the meeting were
Herzog and Eliyahu Chasin,
Allon's political adviser.
This was the first pre-
arranged meeting between
two high-ranking Israeli
and Soviet officials since
the USSR broke diplo-

Visit to Russia
Is Downplayed
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Israeli officials attached lit-
tle political importance to
the current visit of six Is-
raeli left-wingers to the So-
viet Union.
The Israeli group, which
includes two Knesset mem-
bers, were invited for a
10-day visit last week by the
Soviet "Peace Committee."

that was officially re-
ported by Israel.
There had been unofficial
reports of secret and chance
meetings between Israel
and Soviet diplomats during
the past three years in Eu-
rope and in Washington, but
these were always denied or
hedged by either or both
sides.
Observers at the UN re-
frained from making too
much of the Allon-Gromyko
meeting but noted that both
Israel and the Soviet Union
had been putting out diplo-
matic feelers in occasional
statements regarding the
advantages of resuming re-
lations. For Israel, some
observers noted, it would be
advantageous to have the
Soviet Union, in addition to
the U.S., participating in
Mideast developments.
It would, they noted, re-
move Israel's sole depend-
ency on the U.S. At the
same time, the absence of
diplomatic ties with Israel
has been a distinct disad-
vantage to the USSR in not
being able to have her feet in
both the Arab and Israeli
worlds as the U.S. has.
