The Lodge conducted a fund-raising drive in 1975 and again this year to raise funds for the purchase of or- thopedic appliances and surgical instruments for handicapped children. Sam Freedman is presi- dent of Einstein Lodge and Max Fridman was chair- man of both fund-raising campaigns. Appeals for Israeli School Made by Principal Here Country Club Seeks Members for the first traditional school in Israel. The school is not af- filiated with the state re- ligious schools system and will remain part of the state secular system. The Walnut Lake Coun- try Club, formerly Shenan- doah Country Club, is con- ducting a membership drive. The club offers golf, swimming, tennis, saunas and has dining and banquet rooms. There is a ladies golf league and children's golf and swimming programs. Persons interested in joining may call Al Kohn, 559-8288; Seymour Bresler, 681-1332; or Gerald Gur- win, 661-0460. It has no religious or party affiliation, and pa- rents of its students want their children to learn more about Judaism than in a conventional school, but without the National Re- ligious Party affiliation of the state religious schools. Ms. Levin is seeking to secure funds for a new school building. The Israel government said it will match the $300,000 needed to get construction under way. Barbara Levin, principal, of Givat Shapiro elemen- tary school in Jerusalem is in Detroit to secure funds Anti-Semitic Overtones in Letter Assailing Book Reviewer Warsen A letter to The Jewish News purporting to be a criticism of Jewish News book reviewer Allen War- sen, in the matter dealing with anti-Semitism in Po- land, emerges in and of it- self as a shocking endorse- ment of anti-Jewish pre- judice. Benedict Markowski, who wrote the introduction to "Behold the Polish Americans" by Joseph A. Wytrwal, the book reviewed by Warsen, is the author of the letter. His introductory comments to the book av- oided resorting to prejudice. His letter, twice as long as the Warsen review, is filled with allusions to Jewish malpractices, charges Jews with having collaborated with the Nazis and evades the blame that has been traced to Polish anti- Semitic practices during, before and after the World War II period. The Markowski letter even contends that Jews did not assist the Polish under- ground, questions both Jewish loyalty and courage and implies that the War- saw Ghetto Uprising would have failed if not for Polish aid. The historic facts are that the heroes of the War- saw Ghetto had difficulty getting aid in their struggle to battle the Nazi army. These are a few of the incidents in a letter that is as vitriolic as the book it defends, a volume- branded anti-Semitic by book reviewer Warsen, with the chapter entitled "Polish-Jewish Relations in America" concluding with this paragraph: "The current wave of ter- rorism against the Jews — not only in Israel, but in other countries where they are established — seems to be the ultimate and periodic reaction to Jewry's hatred of the world's non-Jews. One cannot offend others per- petually, make them the scapegoats, treat them with impunity, and expect toler- ation or respect. "One cannot infringe on their civil liberties by de- manding an exaggerated Marriages Lila M. Pride and Gary B. Kushner were married in a recent ceremony at Cong. Shaarey Zedek in East Lansing.

The Jew's selfish outlook at the world will continue to reap a harvest of bad seed until their egomaniacal con.:-)^t "of the chosen people" is humanized into one for car- ing about others — espe- cially r-n-Jews with as much r -.‘sion and en- thusiasm as they are about . their own destiny and suc- cess. "It is this relentless hatred which has inspired the phenomenon of anti- Semitism all over the world wherever Jews have con- centrated to become a social problem." Warsen expressed regret that there should be a spread of hatred by Ameri- can Poles, instead of an ef- fort to cement the best in Polish-Jewish-American relations. DR.
