The leaders of Dimona in- formed_ us that the Black Hebrews were model citi- zens, both the adults and the children. We were also informed that among the other children of Dimona, vandalism was rampant. Surely, the Black He-, brews' beliefs and lifestyles vary greatly from the Is- raeli norm, but to compare them to the People's Temple is simply irresponsible. The Black Hebrews are ex- tremely considerate of all persons within the Dimona community. Whatever ad- verse affect they might have on other citizens is caused by political factors, not the Black Hebrews lifestyle. . Mr. and Mrs. Harold L.

N•li Editor, The Jewish News: Your story on the front page of your issue of Jan. 12 in regards to the so-called "Black Hebrews" was a great distortion of these in- dividuals. Your story quoted residents of Dimona as claiming that these Black Hebrews "were hav- ing an adverse affect on the local youth and the commu- nity in general." This sim- ply is false.
