THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 62 Friday, January 16, 1981 WZO Will Not Hire Yordim JERUSALEM (JNI) — The World Zionist Organ-. ization will not hire yordim, or send a special liaison to let them join the Zionist movement, Jewish Agency chairman Aryeh Dulzin says. No one wants to deny that the yored is a Jew," Dulzin explained, "but we don't have to give him a prize or make him a celeb- rity. Aliya remains a posit- ive term, as yerida is a negative word which should be condemned." Teachers will constitute the only exception to the hiring ban. "This is an issue of saving the souls of Jewish children," Dulzin states, re- Jerusalem Issue in Kollek Volume JERUSALEM (JNI) — A book intended to complicate the foreign formation of solutions to Jerusalem's political problems was in- troduced to the press Dec. 31 by Mayor Teddy Kollek. "Jerusalem: Problems and Prospects," published in New York by Praeger, of- fers a collection of Jerusalem studies initiated by Kollek. One principal lesson, Kollek said, is that there is a "definite limit to solutions. You can't pick them out of the air." The book contains chap- ters written by academics, journalists and city plan- ners on demographic and economic developments since 1967, the Christian community and Israeli pol- icy since reunification. jecting the "guilt" of chil- dren of yordim. Dulzin also opposed the concept that Dias- pora Jews who remain abroad bear guilt. They form a separate category who must be educated toward Zionism and aliya," he said. "Today's confusion in Is- raeli society is reflected in the Diaspora," Dulzin said. "But Diaspora Jews now support Israel more than ever," as indicated by in- creased donations to the United Jewish Appeal. Yet, encouraging immi- gration from the Soviet Union is contemporary Zionism's first task, accord- ing to Dulzin. "Without the state (Israel), Soviet Jewry would be in danger of a speedy disappearance." Noting the influx of Iranian Jews three years ago, and of Soviet Jews 10 years ago, Dulzin expressed his hope that "the unexpected will again become the reality."

The paper said the Iran-Iraq war has tempo- rarily weakened the Arab eastern front against Israel, but will prove more dangerous if Iraq is victorious. On the other hand, the paper said, a victorious Iraq might push its ancient enemy, Egypt, into closer ties with Israel. Israel Jobless Rate Reaches Alltime High are house calls a thing of the past??

This was an increase of nearly 70 percent over the 36,000 figure at the end of 1979, according to Histad- rut Chairman Aharon Havel. About 60 percent of women workers were with- out jobs, he said. But while 72,000 persons are out of work, only 36,000 are registered with labor exchanges as seeking em- ployment. Others are be- tween jobs or living on sav- ings while they seek work privately. Another 20,000 people employed in the defense establishment are ex- pected to lose their jobs under budget cuts. They will include 4,000 civilian employees of the army, 3,000 employed directly in military industries and about 5,500 regular army personnel. Others are employed by the Israel Aircraft Indus- tries and other military- associated industries, but their dismissal or continued employement depends on export orders.

Nobel Laureates Call UN Dangerous Threat to Peace By RABBI MARC H. TANENBAUM (A Seven Arts Feature) It is not often that 30 Nobel Laureates join to- gether in common cause for the welfare of mankind. A few weeks ago Nobel Laureates of the interna- tional stature of economist Kenneth Arrow, physicists Hans Bethe and Arno Pen- zias, and Sir John Eccles joined 100 of some of the most prominent academic, scientific, civic, religious, labor, and human rights leaders from throughout the world in issuing a "state- ment of conscience" that warned of "the growing danger to world peace re- sulting from the erosion of the United Nations." People of the standing of Simone de Beauvoir, Henry Steele Commager, Bruno Bettleheim, NAACP's Ben- jamin Hooks, playwright Eugene Ionesco, AFL-CIO's Lane Kirkland, Sir Isaiah Berlin, Sargent Shriver, Beverly Sills, Sen. Daniel Moynihan, in an unprece- dented expression of con- demnation, charged that the United Nations has be- come "perverted by irrele- vant political machina- tions" and is "in danger of becoming a force against peace itself."

Counseling Aid Marks 13th Year NEW YORK (JTA) — Troubled persons of any faith or of any branch of Judaism may use the coun- selling center of the New York Federation of Reform Synagogues, marking its 13th anniversary this month as a professional non-profit service for those who need counseling on in- dividual and family emo- tional problems. and crushing humanita- rian problems of 14 mil- lion refugees and vast hunger go virtually un- challenged while the UN, manipulated by the Soviet Union, the PLO, and Arab blocs, concen- trate obsessively in un- dermining the Egyptian- ISraeli peace treaty and in trying to isolate Israel. "We cannot remain si- lent," these world leaders declared, "while forces which incite hatred and fo- ment war betray our hopes .- for world peace and ^ro- gress." Significantly, represen- tatives of President-elect Reagan's transition team played an active part in that consultation, and they got the message. It remains to be seen whether the UN under its present leadership will get the. message — while there is still time.
