THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Juvenile Delinquency Decline Aided by Rabbis in Boro Park BY BE EN GALLOB (Copyright 1976, JTA, Inc.)' A federally-funded pro- ject to provide counseling and treatment to problem children of Hasidic. and ul- tra-Orthodox families to prevent them from becom- ing juvenile delinquents has been functioning since the start of November in Brook- lyn's. Boro Park section, which has New York City's heaviest concentration of Orthodox Jews. The project is part of a program of service to the Orthodox community car- ried on by Jewish Parents United, a member agency of the Council of Jewish Or- ganizations of Boro Park. It operates on a one-year grant of $250,000 from the federal Safe Streets Act, funneled to the JPU through New York State and the Mayor's Criminal Justice Coordinat- ing Council, according to Rabbi Burton Jaffa, JPU director. Reports Claim Rabin, Hussein Have Been Meeting Secretly CHICAGO — High Israeli and well-placed United States sources report that Prime Minister Yitzhak . Rabin met secretly with King Hussein of Jordan dur- ing the past three to six months, according to New- sweek magazine. The sources add that this was only the latest in a se- ries of such talks and lower- level Israeli-Jordanian con- tacts have taken place be- fore and since. FRANK PAUL and His ORCHESTRA "Music and entertainment at its Best for Your Guests" 557-7986 I Newsweek reports that while the atmosphere was cordial at the meeting with Rabin, Hussein took a tough stand, refusing to accept the return of the West Bank so long as Israel insisted on maintaining a defense line along the Jordan River. Hussein also demanded that half of Jerusalem be re- turned to his control. The disclosure of the se- cret talks between the Israe- lis and the Jordanians serves to undercut critics who have charged that Jeru- salem is not interested in solving the Palestinian problem through direct ne- gotiations with Hussein. - Presents "THE CONTEMPORARY LOOK" I I I Levelors, vertitals, Roman Shades and Custom Shades 20%-30% OFF Call Eileen now for home appt. 968-0701 AUDETTE Eventually! WHY NOT NOW? I / / I He said JPU has a staff of four part-time psycholo- gists, as well as full-time so- cial workers and counselors, all Orthodox Jews. He said the current caseload of the organization is 90 children, with a ratio of about seven boys to three girls. Rabbi Jaffa said that until the project was started last Nov. 5, par- ents of such children had nowhere to go for help be- cause they refused to go to a non-Orthodox Jewish facility. He added that the JPU policy is to work with children and thus obtain the trust of the parents, many of whom are initially hostile either because they fear the problems of their children will become known in the community, or because they refuse to believe there is anything wrong with their children. The children are usually referred for treatment by principals of yeshivot they attend. In situations where parents, on being called for permission for JPU profes- sionals to see their children, refuse such permission, the JPU turns to the rebbe of the sect to which the par- ents belong, who orders par-, ental compliance. In the Hasidic community, this is sufficient, Rabbi Jaffa said. Among Orthodox fainilies the rabbi of the congrega- tion to which the parents belong is called in for assist- ance. The JPU has an advisory board which includes Boro Park's leading Hasidic and Orthodox personalities, in- cluding yeshiva heads, Rabbi Jaffa said, stressing that such community sup- port is indispensable' to the functioning of the project. Italian Countess Promoting Israeli Scientific Exchange • By MOSHE RON Jewish News Special Israel Correspondent JERUSALEM — After the Six-Day-War, Italian Countess Antonia Cardeli suddenly disappeared from her palace in Rome. She ex- changed her luxury apart- ment for a small, modest room in Kibutz Givat Bren- ner near Rehovot, Israel. "I felt that as an idealist, I must voluntarily come to live, and work in a 'kibutz," said the countess. The countess held the honorary title of 'chairman for the Weizman Institute in Italy. This title she ac- cepted on the advice of the Orthodox Youth Help NY Elderly former Israeli Ambassador in Rome, Ehud Avriel. She organized the visit of two delegations of Italian scien- tists-to Isi4 ael. Now she is or- ganizing a third delegation fora February visit. "In Europe there is no right attitude towards Is- rael," she said. "People think Israel is a country of wars and kept up by a big military force. The great scientific activity and its successes are hardly known in Italy." The countess maintains, that even spending three days in Israel is important for scientists to see the posi- - tive sides of Israel. The guests get a feel of the coun- try through personal con- tacts. This is very important for Israel , and the Jewish people as anti-Semitism is growing in Italy. Last year the countess organized a delegation of 30 Italian scientists who came to Israel, including former Italian Minister for Culture Giovami Sfadalini. He dec- lined an appeal of the Ital- ian Minister of Foreign Af- fairs not to participate. The Ministry forbade him to make speeches in Israel, but Spedalini held press conferences at the Rome airport before departing and after returning from Israel. He called the ouster of Israel from UNESCO as the ouster of a most out- standing cultural people. The countess Cardeli intends to stay in Israel permanently. She said that people in Israel show more interest and dedicate more time to establishing human contacts. "If I have not settled permanently in Israel, it is because I fulfill a more im- portant mission for Israel in Rome. Sooner or later my last station will be in Israel."
