COLLINS AVE. MIAMI BEACH. FLA. WE NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD! In four articles under the title, "The Jewish War Against the Jews," in the Boston Jewish Advocate, Dr. Neusner announced the text of the speech he will de- liver here on Tuesday. The four articles ap- peared in the Boston Jewish Advocate on Dec. 25, Jan. 1, 8 and 15. "The Jewish War Against the Jews" is a criticism of Jewish lead- ership and the Jewish community. In his articles, Dr. Neusner criticized Jewish leadership for its inability to accept criticism and its stifling of dissent, and criticized all Jews for not knowing what is a Jew. "The best example of this kind of living dead is the one who works hard without a calling and a purpose, who feels compelled to under- take Jewish activity, but who gets little from it," Dr. Neusner wrote., "Examples stand ready at hand: people who go through the motions of da- vening, but do not pray, fill up the synagogues but do not listen when the Torah is read. Of them we know full well. "But what about people who go through the motions of giving money to Jewish causes but do not fill up the synagogues and do not do those many other pleasant and enjoyable things which make being Jewish a source of joy and solace in this life? "They are, for instance, the Jews who study about Judaism in universities but do not realize that the Judaism they study also enriches the lives of the people who practice that Judaism." Dr. Neusner is blister- ingly outspoken against those who wish to sup- press dissent on Jewish issues: "Those who would exer- cise thought-control are themselves ignorant and mindless, I mean, some Jewish federations and other organizational lead- ers who tell the Jewish in- tellectuals what they should and should not think as Jews. "Second, and still more troubling (for no one in fact pays attention to these `Jewish leaders'), when people wish not to argue but to suppress, it is because they are frightened. And I did not realize, and I do not think, that things are so bad for Jewry that this state of primitive terror should pre- vail . . . "In the consequent desert of sameness and imposed unanimity lies the death of all emotion; all commit- ment, all caring will perish. The one who does the job mechanically and heartlessly is the walking corpse. "So in this war against fresh and different ideas are approaches to Jewry, the Jewish leaders are corpses who wish the liv- ing to become like them- selve s , also dead." Dr. Neusner's lecture, 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, is spon- sored by the Rabbi Morris Adler Foundation and the Shaarey Zedek Cultural Commission. The lecture is free and open to the public.

WHILE YOU WAIT READY IN MINUTES TEL AVIV (JTA) — Some 400 unmarried Jewish women between the ages of 25-35 in the Jewish com- munity in Damascus, which numbers a few hundred families, are being forced to convert to Islam to find hus- bands, according to a woman tourist in Switzer- land. Knesset member Yitshak Yitzhaki, who met the tourist recently, said he planned to ask the Knesset to take action in the matter. According to the tourist, who declined to be named, the women can find no hus- bands among the small Jewish community in Syria and are not allowed to leave the country. Journalism Chair TEL AVIV (JTA) — A chair in journalism named in memory of the late Dr. Azriel Carlebach, founder and first editor of Maariv, was dedicated at Tel Aviv University last week, on the 25th anniversary of his death. The chair, whose first incumbent is yet to be named, will deal with re- search into the press and its role in society. .
