THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS wish all their family and friends a happy, healthy New Year By IiENRIETFE BOAS During the past year, the apprehension and trial of Dutch nationals accused of collaborating with the Nazis in war crimes were major news items. The most sensa- tional case is that of Pieter Menten, the 77-year-old mil- lionaire art dealer accused of the murders of several hundred Jews and non-Jews while an SS officer in the Lemberg region of Poland in the summer of 1941. Another sensation was caused by the trial of Jo- hannes Loyen, 58, who was a concentration camp guard at Brobuisk, White Russia, where Polish Jews were incarcerated. Loyen's Nazi past was undetected for 30 years during which he lived obscurely in. Hol- land as a factory worker. The District Court at Roer- mond sentenced him to life imprisonment. He appealed the sentence on grounds that the court was not com- petent to try him as his Dutch citizenship had been revoked because of mem- bership in the SS. But later Loyen withdrew his appeal. Had it been successful, he might have been extradited to Israel for trial. Best wishes for a year of health and happiness to all our friends and relatives and MRS.

JERUSALEM—A new center of learning, com- plete with an open school for young adults, has been founded in Jerusalem. Called Shefa, the center re- flects in the meaning of its name the abundance of Jew- ish life that forms the basis for the principles behind the organization. Those prin- ciples are predicated on the persuasive beliefs of Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz, an accept- ed and respected member of the Israeli Orthodox com- munity. The rabbi, a sabra now in his 40s, who only became re- ligious at the relatively ripe age of 13, says he is con- vinced that the Jewish people, and Israel, need not be like any other nation. He is against the cosmopolitan- ism of today's world—at leak where that type of uni- versality tends to make cul- tures too similar, resulting in a loss of ethnic and reli- gious identity. "We must go back to our Jewish roots and our own sources," he- proclaims. He emphasizes. however, that such a reversal does not mean a ghetto isolation. Rabbi Steinsaltz actually takes another course—one that is perhaps strange to some ultra-religious prac- titioners, but one that he is sure is in keeping with the biblical advice to "...re- spect the wise of all na- tions." His direction simply warns modern Jews that in order to understand the values others have to offer, they must first be armed with a thorough awareness - of their own sources and roots. Just how, then, does Shefa seek to help modern, secular, often highly edu- cated Jews immerse them- selves in aspects of their own tradition ? First there is the new learning center itself. Both the open school for younger students, and the Institute for Advanced Jewish Studies help _ ease the pathways to acquiring knowledge. Then there is the new quarterly English-language publication, also called Shef a. Rabbi Steinsaltz and his staff are engaged in con- ducting classes and semi- nars in such subjects as Jewish philosphy, mystic- ism, Bible, Talmud, music and art. Their aim, and the underlying current of their instruction, is to impart knowledge to Jews who al- ready have all the tools of higher education, but who decidedly lack Jewish knowledge. and even Jew- ish identity. According to editor Jona- thon Omer-Man, who was a former editor of the Jewish Encyclopedia Year Book, the quarterly will serve as the main vehicle for course announcements and news about the organization. Omer-Man also explains that Shefa has established a publishing house for Hebr- ew and English books, and intends to turn out titles per- taining to contemporary Jewish • subjects.
