Jack Dann has assembled
in. "Wandering Stars" fan-
tasy and science fiction
tales by outstanding Jewish
writers . . . and the result
is fantastic.
The book, re-issued by
Pocket Books, Inc., is de-
lightful, filled with Jewish
humor and pathos.
The introduction by Isaac
Asimov sets the tone. He
claims' that Jewish writers
of early science fiction used
pen names, because "a story
entitled 'War Gods of the
Oyster Men of Deneb' didn't
carry conviction if it was
written by someone named
Chaim Itzkowitz."
The anthology contains
marvelous stories by Wil-
liam Tenn, "On Venus —
Have We Got a Rabbi;"
Avram Davidson, "The
Golem;" Isaac Asimov,

Early Tu b'Shevat
Rites Remembered
On Tu b'Shevat in 1949,
the first to be celebrated in
the state of Israel, multi-
tudes gathered on the hills
of Jerusalem, in the Gali-
lean Highlands and in the
wastes of the Negev, to do
honor to those who had
fallen in the War of Libera-
tion and to pay tribute to
the courage of the Israel
Defence Army.
On that day- relatives
planted trees on the ground
where their sons, husbands,
fathers or brothers fell. The
largest crowds assembled at
Sha'ar Hagai, Bab el Wad,
famed pivoted point in the
battle for Jerusalem. An
everlasting memorial was
erected — The Forest of the
Defenders.
The Israel Defense Army
and the Jewish National
Fund combined to establish
this project. On the 15th of
Shevat the first saplings
were planted in the forest,
which took five years to
complete and is the largest
forest in Israel.
"The Forest of Peace", on
the hills surrounding reuni-
fied Jerusalem was planted
as a permanent memorial to
the hundreds of soldiers
who fell in the struggle for
the survival of Israel in the
Six-Day War in June 1967.

`New Year' Days
Hamisha Asar b'Shevat is
one of the four "New Year"
days recorded in the
Mishna. The others are: the
first of Tishri, observed to-
day as Rosh Hashana; the
first of Nisan, from which
date the reigns of the Kings
of Israel were reckoned; and
the first of Elul, used to cal-
culate the tithing of cattle.

The stories are all gems,
but there are some which
outshine the rest in the col-
lection. One of the best is
William Tenn's "On Venus
— Have We Got A Rabbi".
As Jack Dann explains:
"In William Tenn's story of
the future, the Jews are still
studying, still suffering,
making jokes, myth, reli-
gion and still being Jewish.
Can a creature who looks
like a pillow growing a short
gray tenticle be a Jew? To
answer that question Tenn
keeps asking, 'What IS a
Jew?"
In the best traditions of
Sholem Aleichem, Milchik,
the TV repairman on Venus,
who speaks for all the Jews
in the Universe and the en-
tire human race, tells the
story:
"The first , Interstellar
Neo-Zionist Conference con-
venes on Venus and among
the delegates are the Bul-
bas, who look like brown pil-
JERUSArtM (JTA) —
Former Defense Minister
Moshe Dayan raised the
possibility that American
arms provided to Egypt
might be used against Is-
rael, but expressed confid-
eace that the United States
would not dodge its respon-
sibility to Israel.
In his first TV interview
since he quit the Cabinet,
Dayan, a member of the
Knesset and soon-to-be edi-
tor of a new newspaper, said
the objective of America's
new policy toward Egypt
was to detach it from de-
pendency on the Soviet
Union.
• "This means relieving
Egypt of its military de-
pendence on the Soviet
Union" and could lead to
American arms being used
by Egypt in a war against
Israel, Dayan said.
Dayan said that regard:
less of American views,
Israel cannot affort to be
more flexible on the issue
of dealing with the PLO or
a Palestinian state.
Dayan also said that a de
facto state of non-belliger-
ence now exists between Is-
rael and Jordan. and that
while the three Arab con-
frontation states — Egypt,
Syria and Jordan — are not
ready to trake peace with
Israel,. Jerusalem should
demand a similar condition
0 of non-belligerence from
m Egypt and Syria.

lows, with some big gray
spots on their sides and out
of each spot is growing a
short, gray tentacle. They
are from the fourth planet
of the star Rigel.
"They claim to be Jews
but the Neo-Zionist Con-
ference refuses to accredit
them on the ground that
the Bulbas cannot be Jews
because they are not hu-
mans.
"A High Rabbinical Court
is appointed to settle the
controversy. The Bulbas_
claim they are descendants
of a group of New Jersey
Jews who came to the planet
800 years before, and the
rabbi from Venus must re-
solve the dispute."
Dann's inimitable intro-
ductions to the stories add
greatly to the enjoyment of
this anthology.
