Reader Warns on Reagan
Editor, The Jewish News:
Many American Jews
rely on Near East Report's
analysis of events concern-
ing U.S.-Israel relations.
The Report's "1980
Presidential Candidate
Survey" seems to favor
Ronald Reagan as the can-
didate who will be most
supportive of Israel.
However, the Wall Street
Journal suggests that Re-
agan may not be this year's
"Messiah" after all.
(Editor's Note: The
Wall Street Journal, in a
column by Albert R. Hunt
on July 12, contained the
items reprinted here.)
("Some Reagan suppor-
ters were startled to read a
newspaper account earlier
this week that said that Mr.
Reagan met with the Egyp-
tian ambassador to the U.S.
and that the candidate re-
portedly altered some of his
long-standing pro-Israeli
views .. .
("Upon being told of a
Washington Star article
this week on Mr. Reagan's
'eting with the Egyptian
ibassador, one sup-
posedly top Reagan adviser
asked: 'My God, why is he
ting with the Egyptian
c
-Jassador? ' Mr. Reagan
has developed support
among some Jewish voters
with his strong pro-Israeli
stance but, according to the
newspaper article, the
Egyptian ambassador said
Reagan said he was willing
to include the Palestinians
in a "comprehensive" Mid-
dle East peace settle-
ment.")
Carter is clearly intent on
negotiating with the PLO if
he is elected, but in spite of
reports in the Jewish press
(including The Jewish
News), Reagan may prove
to be as indecisive, unreli-
able, or simply incompetent
as Carter.
The sad fact is that Is-
rael, the one stable ally
the U.S. has in the Middle
East, may be sold for the
cost of some barrels of oil
— and American Jews
deserve to know exactly
where the candidates
really stand.
Israel won't survive- on
wishful thinking. It will
take pressure, votes and
dollars. The candidates
cannot be "even-handed"
with Israel because Israel is
outnumbered 40 to 1.
Reagan has also declared
himself to be a "born-again
Christian" (Meet the Press
report, two weeks ago), so
that now all three candi-
dates (Kennedy excluded)
have aligned themselves
with the most right-wing
element in American
society.

Dovid Ben Nuchim to Open
Talmud Torah in September
Cong. Dovid Ben Nuchim
will open a Talmud Torah
program for children in
elementary grades in Sep-
tember. Classes will be held
at the synagogue, 14800
Lincoln, Oak Park.
Rabbi Chaskel Grubner
of the congregation said the
goals of the school will be to
provide Jewish education
under traditional Jewish
auspices for boys and girls
in the Oak Park and South-
field areas. Coordination of
the educational program is
under the supervision of
local educators with more
than a combined total of 40
years experience in the
field.
The school will operate
according to the "modern
day philosophy of the open
classroom program:"
The setting of goals (or
levels) of achievement
will be emphasized in-
stead of the regular grade
level approach;
Close contact with the
student and parents will be
maintained to determine
the desired results in each
level and assist when neces-
sary;
A classroom atmosphere
will exist in which some
time of the class day is set
aside for individual student
exploration and the pursuit
of information of interest to
that student; and
Emphasis will be placed
on the idea the value of the
instructional hours is in
proportion to the degree of
preparation done by the
student outside the
classroom.
Classes will meet on
Monday and Wednesday af-
ternoons with students
selecting from additional
hours during the week for
individual instruction and
group informal educational
pursuits.
Registration is being
sought particularly for stu-
dents who have not had
previous Jewish education
or students who have had
