great change in Jewish life
now is that "Israel is the
homeland of the Jews. It is
important for me to show to
the world that a Jew who
was deported from a certain
country in the world does
not have to become a refu-
gee any more. Forty-eight
hours after I was expelled
from Argentina I have re-
ceived my Israeli citizen-
ship and I feel at home."
Timerman was met at
the airport by a large
group of relatives, in-
cluding his wire Rische

from Argentina, repre-

Timerman, former editor

and house arrest.
He was immediately
made a citizen and given an
Israeli identity card and a
new immigrant's card.
"I am proud to be a Jew,"
Timerman said. He said the

situation in general. He told
reporters that until he was
on a plane he did not know
he had been released. He
said when he was taken
from his apartment he
thought he was about to be
put in a prison again.
Timerman said that his
immediate plan is to rest
after his long ordeal in
Argentina. He thanked the
Israeli government, the
Carter Administration and
members of Congress, as
well as Jewish interna-
tional organizations that
exerted every possible effort
to have him released.

Newsweek Apologizes to ADL
for Bias in Article on Israel
NEW YORK — News-
week magazine has
apologized to the Anti-
Defamation League of Bnai
Brith for its "highly regret-
table lapse" in reflecting
"an . anti-Semitic
stereotype" in a Sept. 3 arti-
cle entitled "Israel's Spies in
the U.S."
In a letter to Abraham H.
Foxman, ADL's associate
national director, News-
week 'Editor Lester Berns-
tein said:
"I have conducted a
thorough post-mortem and
satisfied myself that this
lapse resulted from insen-
sitivity and inadvertence,
not from malice. I can as-
sure you that we have
engaged in some
consciouness-raising on this
subject and I do not expect a
recurrence. In our next
issue we plan to publish a
critical letter and an
acknowledgment that we
were wrong."
Foxman, who had writ-
ten to David Auchincloss,
Newsweek's publisher,
protesting the article as
"untrue and unfair," ac-
cepted the Bernstein
apology "with restored
faith in Newsweek's ob-
jectivity and fairminded-
ness.
In his letter to Au-
chincloss, Foxman took
issue with the following
Seminary Wins
$24,000 Grant
NEW YORK — Rabbi
Isaac Elchanan Theological
Seminary, an affiliate of
Yeshiva University, has
been awarded a $24,000
grant by Lilly Endowment,
Inc., for participation in a
new training program for
deferred gifts officers of
theological seminaries.
The objectives of the pro-
gram are to aid institutions
in the recruitment and
training of a corps of compe-
tent professional deferred
gifts officers; provision of
resources, counsel and
management assistance
necessary to establish and
sustain an effective de-
ferred gifts program; and
the advancement of the
state of the art of resource
development programming
and philanthropic support
for the theological educa-
tion.
the author interprets the
holiness of his theme in less
than. 25 pages. The draw-
ings add fascination to one
of the finest of children's
books available on the
themes of the holiest period
on the Jewish calendar.
Howard Greenfeld, the
one-time publisher of Orion
Press, a noted author, re-
lates the story with deep..
emotion and an impressive
dedication to a sacred
theme.
Elaine Grove adds magni-
ficently with her splendid
illustrations that give
power to a children's book
that emerges as a classic.
Regrettably, the book ar-
rived too late for review
prior to the Holy Days. It
nevertheless retains its
value for the children's
bookshelves at all times.

The Symbolism of Sukkot
By RABBI SAMUEL FOX
(Copyright 1979, JTA, Inc.)
Throughout Jewish liter-
ature the sukka has sym-
bolized many things. The
Bible itself, when giving the
commandment to "dwell in
sukkot" tells us that the
Almighty caused the people
of Israel to dwell in a booth
(sukka) when he took them
out of Egypt.
The Talmud - (Tractate
Sukka) gives two different
explanations of this state-
ment. One is that the sukka
represents the temporary
dwelling that our ancestors
occupied. A second explana-
tion is that the sukka repre-
sents the protective Clouds
of Glory that accompanied
the Israelites through the
wilderness to give them
both protection and direc-
tion.
Philo of Alexandria
claimed that the sukka (the
overhead covering of leaves,
branches, etc.), represented
an almost equal distribu-
tion of light and darkness
which indicated that at this
time of year the hours of
night and the hours of day
are almost equal.
Josephus claimed that
the sukka was a symbol of
the protective dwelling
which had to be reinforced
at this season in face of the
coming rainy season. The
mystics claimed that the
sukka, being a temporary
dwelling for the week, indi-
cated that life on earth is
but a temporary existence.
Some claim that the
dwelling in the sukka in in-
dicative of the diaspora
existence of the Jewish
people which was but a
temporary condition until
the Messiah comes.
The vegetative covering,
which is required to have
been cut off from the ground
indicates the constant
episodes of homelessness
which so often overtook the
Jewish people. The fact that
the roof of the sukka has to
be remade every year is an
indication that the Jew has
to constantly reconstruct
his settlements from one
land to another — meeting
new challenges all the time.
The fact that the sukka
has to contain more shade
than light indicates that
Jewish history has been fil-
led with more tragedy than
security (i.e. we have spent
more time out of our home-
land than in it).
Philosopher
Visits Israel
TEL AVIV (JTA) —
Jean-Paul Sartre was im-
mersed in existential ac-
tivity — and in the Gulf of
Eilat this week.
The renowned French
philosopher and his daugh-
ter arrived in Israel on the
eve of Rosh Hashana on a
private visit and im-
mediately proceeded to the
warm climes of Israel's
southern city to dip in the
gulf waters and to con-
template the sand and the
sun — just being and noth-
ing else.
