See MORT FELDSTEIN or ROSEMARY HARLING CURRENT HISTORY: The younger generation of Jews in this country, conscious of its Jewishness but having little or no knowledge of what Jewish life is like in other countries, except in Israel — and to a certain extent in Soviet Russia — is beginning to display a special interest in current Jewish life everywhere in the world. The Jewish Telegraphic Agency with its net of offices and correspondents in various countries of the world covers the Jewish scene everywhere. However, the JTA coverage of Jewish news only stimulates young American Jews to seek all-embracing knowl- edge of the "inside of Jewish living" in communities outside of the United States, presented against the background of the not-too-distant Jewish past, vivid descriptions of personalities and problems of the pre- sent, and the challenges for the future. The American Jewish Committee has now un- dertaken the task of bridging this gap in current Jewish history through its new magazine "Present Tense." The magazine carries excellent articles on Jewish life in various countries, written by persons living in these countries or visiting them for special study purposes. The magazine also carries in-depth articles on Jewish institutions in this country which have an impact on Jewish life. INSIDE WORLD JEWRY: I was especially im- pressed with the latest issue of "Present Tense." Much has been written during the years on Jews in Biro- Bidj an, the remote "Jewish region" in Siberia where the Soviet government has unsuccessfully attempted to settle Soviet Jews for the last 50 years. But nothing reflected the present Jewish life in Biro-Bidjan as viv- idly as the eye-witness account by Alex Axelbak, an American correspbndent in Moscow, who succeeded in making a trip to Biro-Bidjan after prodding the Soviet authorities for eight months to permit him to visit this "Jewish autonomous region." It is like penetrating into "forbidden territory." The article brings the very latest information on the meager Jewish life there where Jews constitute less than 9 percent of the total population in the re- gion, numbering some 12,000 souls, as compared with the 30,000 who lived there in 1948. There also are two fascinating articles on the pre- sent life of British Jewry which throw light on Jewish moods in the country, on relations between Jewish and non-Jewish members of the British Parliament, on the role which Jewish scientists play in England and how they feel toward their Jewishness. One also finds in the magazine a very interesting article on the Jews in Syria, written by a senior international editor of the Wall Street Journal who visited Syria three times since May this year. There also is a very informative and well-written article on Jewish living today in Swe- den, and — of course — an in-depth article on Israel with the accent on the "dove" movement there. The American scene is also well represented in the magazine. "Present Tense" also carries short stories, poetry and book reviews. It is intellectually challenging, emo- tionally satisfying and esthetically enjoyable. Its editor is Murray Polner; executive editor is Hanna F. Desser.

TEL AVIV (JTA) — The first three F-15 Eagle jet interceptors of 25 ordered by Israel from the U.S. landed at an Air Force base Dec. 12 to an unpre- cedented public welcome. Ordinarily, the delivery of new weapons is cloaked in secrecy. But this time, some 3,000 invited guests and dignitaries were on hand, headed by Premier Yit- zhak Rabin, Chief of Staff Gen. Mordechai Gur and Air Force Commander Gen. Benjamin Peled. The aircraft, which have an effective range of 5,000 kilomerers, a ceiling of 67,000 feet and super- sonic speeds in excess of Mach 2.5, flew to Israel directly from their man- ufacturer, the McDonnell-Douglas Corp. in St. Louis, Mo. 342-7100 e care for our kosher customers!
