A likely reason for the
turnabout, as seen in t one
quarter here, is that two
weeks ago members of
the Congress were in-
vited to attend an
"Arab - American
Dialogue Conference" in
Washington that would
"bring together some of
the most knowledgeable
Arabs and Americans."
The dialogue "commit-
tee" sponsored its first con-
ference of this kind in

ing part.
The PLO is seen as split
between cooperation with
the Soviets in Iran and oust-
ing Ayatollah Ruhollah
Khomeini and helping
Khomeini stay in power.
The pro-Khomeini faction is
said to be led by Farouk
Kaddumi, the PLO's politi-
cal chief, while Arafat is
backing the Soviet strategy.
When asked for a sum-
mary of developments in
Iran and its impact on the
Arab-Israeli conflict, one
analyst said: "the only man
who knows the precise de-
tails of developments is
Soviet Ambassador Vinog-
radov in Teheran.
"Vinogradov was the
Soviet envoy in Cairo
during Egypt's buildup
for the Yom Kippur War.
After that he went to Be-
irut and civil war fol-
lowed in Lebanon. Now
he is in Iran and that
country is erupting.
Wherever he goes he
leaves war or dismem-
berment of the state."
"Why try to assess Qadda-
fi's motives," another
analyst remarked. "His day
to day statements make no
sense. You can't explain
reasonably the kind of thing
that goes on in Iran nor
what Qaddafi says or does.
The one thing that is con-
stant with him and Kho-
meini and that kind is their
burning hatred of Jews and
Israel."

The new group said many

The organization will be

Dutch Jews Devote Exhibit
to Defunct Yiddish Society

AMSTERDAM (JTA) —
The Amsterdam Jewish
Historical Museum recently
held an exhibition devoted
to Anski, the now defunct
Yiddish Cultural Society of
Amsterdam, whose de-
velopment and decline mir-
rors the successive waves of
Jewish immigration into
Holland and the assimila-
tion of the younger genera-
tion.
Anski was the pen-name
of the Yididsh poet Sjoloum
Rabinowitz for whom the
society was named when it
was founded here in 1921 by
Jewish emigres from Po-
land and other Eastern
European countries.
Many had been members
of the Bund, a Socialist-
oriented group that opposed
both Orthodox Judaism and
Zionism. They established
Anski to preserve their
Yiddish language and cul-
ture through lectures,
theatrical performances
and other activities.
Membership dwindled
after a few years as a
number of the founders
either emigrated from
Holland or became more
integrated into Dutch
society. But reinforce-
ments arrived from Po-
land in 1929 and again
after 1933.
The society enjoyed its
greatest growth just before
the outbreak of World War
II. But when the Soviet
Union invaded Poland in
1939 and divided that coun-
try with Nazi Germany,
Anski left. The Com-
munist members approved
the Soviet invasion. The
Bundists were opposed and
founded their own cultural
organization, the Peretz
Society. -

Anski was re-established
after the war when the in-
flux of displaced persons
into Holland increased its
membership temporarily.
But most of them soon left
for the U.S. or Canada.
Anski was carried on for a
time by its original mem-
bers. But as the older ones
died and their children be-
came assimilated, the
society was finally aban-
doned. Material for the ex-
hibit was provided by some
of the surviving members.

On Making
Fowl Kosher
for Consumption

By RABBI SAMUEL FOX

(Copyright 1979. JTA, Inc.)

Jewish law prohibits
plucking the feathers of a
chicken under a stream of
warm water.
The body of a chicken, be-
fore it has been drained of
blood through the tradi-
tional method of soaking,
salting and washing, has
blood in its veins, etc. Im-
mersing the fowl in hot
water would constitute a
minor form of cooking the
fowl in its blood (or cooking
it before salting). This
would render the chicken
treife.
Generally, any procedure
which would result in the
restriction of blood vessels
or any situation in which
the blood would collect in
one place and be restricted
from freely flowing out dur-
ing subsequent soaking and
salting process would raise
questions regarding the
status of kashrut of the fowl,
thus rendering it prohibi-
tive for use as kosher food.
