Industry, , Trade, and Tourism Minister Gideon Patt said the bill is particu- larly important to Israel's scientific industries, where women are becoming "al- most dominant" on the production lines. Yeshiva Students Study in Israel NEW YORK — As part of their senior year in high school, some 100 American Yeshiva High School stu- dents flew to Israel recently to begin a six-month pro- gram of Judaic and Israel studies in the Jewish state. Known as Tohnit Yud Gimel, the program in- cludes student participation in a wide range of activities such as study of Talmud, Torah, Halakha, Jewish history and philosophy, He- brew, modern, Jewish his- tory, and Holocaust and Zionism.

News I would like to comment on what one of your recent contributors to the Reader's Forum called an "historic meeting." The meeting of the Or- thodox group and its after- math could more accurately be described as a "Tempest in a Teapot." After all, what percentage of the 80,000 or so Jews of greater Detroit is really concerned whether or not there is an eruv? The great majority could not care less, but may well ask themselves, why is "The pot calling the kettle black?" When the modus operandi of one group is questioned, it would be a good time indeed to disclose the modus operandi of those who are engaged in the rab- binic supervision of food items, and some things that are not even edible, like for instance plastic bags and aluminum foil. If the meeting of March 4 would result in an enlightened public, it would indeed have been worth- while. * * * Kurt Bauer Beth David Editor, The Jewish News I can add two more facts to the history of Beth David: .According to the ;Jewish Directory of the Detroit of 1907," the congregation was located at 293 Adelaide. Its officers were Isidore Mellen, president; M. Muskovitch, vice president; Joseph Shechter, secretary; and Nathan Shreiber, trea- surer. "The Survey of the De- troit Jewish Community of 1923" states that Beth David was composed of 300 members and were in the process of abandoning the district. Allen Warsen Warsaw Ghetto Wheels Within Wheels By ISSACHAR MIRON (A Seven Arts Feature) - I had a dream In which the Passover epic Appeared like a perpetuum mobile Of wheels within wheels, Resounding never-failing hope. On the wheels' axles rotates freedom; Every hub is a lifeline of tradition; The spokes reverberate love and compassion. The re-spring-ation of human soul and spirit, Revolves new horizons Around their rims. The whole vernal complex Of the perpetuum mobile Of wheels within wheels Is rolling on as: A holiday for those who believe, Commemoration of a struggle For those who keep The torch of liberty aflame; A reminder for those who forget; Clarity of vision for those who overlook; A spring cleansing of tenets; Warmth of friendship; Anonymity of true chartiy; The healing silence of the strength of trust. Family reunions for the scattered; Four exquisite cups of wine For the connoisseur; Excitement of anticipated gifts For children of all ages; A singsong festival for music lovers; Four self-rejuvinating questions for the discerning mind; Many more things for many others. In my dream I've seen Many putting their shoulders To the wheels within wheels, And making this season, An act of faith, Reflection of eternal light, Precipitating holy from profane Motivating to aspire and to strive, Toward attainment Of the two egalitarian aims of life: Freedom to live as equals among equals And peace to sing A new song unto the Lord, Thus making the dream, A symphony on high, And a vibrant reality. Foreign Student Hosts Sought Mr. and Mrs. Julian Pr- ince of West Bloomfield, state coordinators of the North Atlantic Cultural Exchange League, are seek- ing Michigan families will- ing to host a French teenage exchange student in July. Host families do not have to speak French, since the students have had English language training. Their parents provide them with pocket money and pay for their transportation and in- surance. Families interested in hosting a student should call the Princes, 626-6641.

"In 1967 when these ter- ritories fell into Israeli hands, 220,000 residents needed government aid to survive. Today that number has decreased to 20,000 with no unemployment," Katz. said. Bethlehem Mayor Elias Freij also attended the opening of the center, estab- lished with the support of a German organization. AJCommittee: No Split After Osidach Decision PHILADELPHIA —• The American Jewish Commit- tee has joined with leaders of the Ukrainian-American community in expressing the hope that a recent citizenship-revocation deci- sion against Vladimir Osidach, a Ukrainian im- migrant accused of war crimes, should not be "a source of divisiveness" be- tween Jews and Ukranians in Philadelphia. Osidach, a retired 76- year-old slaughterhouse worker, was convicted for having lied when he said his occupation was dairy worker when he entered the U.S. in 1949. The U.S. gov- ernment contended that' Osidach was an officer rn the German-backed Ukrai- nian National Police in Rawa-Ruska, and that he had helped Germans round up 14,000 Jews in 1942-43 and send them to death camps. French Customer BOSTON (ZINS) — The Christian Science Monitor reported that France has become the world's third largest arms manufacturer and 90 percent of her prod- uction goes to the Arab states to offset her annual $22 billion oil bill.
