Between Pesach
and Shavuot

By RABBI SAMUEL FOX

(Copyright 1981, JTA, Inc.)

of
The
blessing
"Shehekheyonu" is pro-
nounced at the beginning of
a cycle as a sign that we are
happy to observe the par-
ticular practice. There is a
sense of regret when count-
ing the Omer between
Passover and Shavuot be-
Cause we have no Temple in
Jerusalem and we don't
offer the sheaf of barley as
we did when the Temple
existed.
Also, the count is incom-
plete until Shavuot is fi-
nally reached. Then, one is
happy at having completed
the count and being able to
observe the next holiday.

DR. CARL VOSS

From 1940 to 1943, he
preached, with his father, in
the bi-lingual Smithfield
German Evangelical Pro-
testant Church in
Pittsburgh, Pa. "The con-
gregants were increasingly
pro-Nazi isolationists," he
said. "They wanted to put on
blinders. I was beginning to
get very restive, and I came
to New York on visits in
1942 to help organize the
Christian Council on Pales-
tine (CCP)."
After becoming executive
secretary of CCP in 1943,
Voss spent part of his time
with Church Peace Union
and the rest with the World
Alliance for International
Friendship Through Reli-
gion. He described the pur-
pose of the CCP as "touch-
ing and arousing Christian
conscience, focusing Chris-
tian attention on love of the
Holy Land, and making
American Christians aware
of what tiny Palestine
meant to the free world and
its democratic ethos —
especially in terms of the fu-
ture of the Jewish people
and the awakening of the
entire Middle East."
"The Palestine solution
was obviously the only one,"
Voss said. "No other coun-
try was willing to open its
gates. Zionism wasn't a
matter of choice, but a
necessity."
In July, 1945, Voss,
with Dr. Howard Marion
LeSourd, was invited by
David Ben-Gurion, then
Jewish Agency for Pales-
tine chairman, and Sir
Wyndham Deedes, then
chairman of the British
Association for a Jewish
National Homeland, to
attend, as an observer,
the World Zionist Con-
ference in London.
In 1946, CCP became the
American Christian Pales-

tine Committee (ACPC),
with Voss and LeSourd as
co-directors. This organiza-
tion, along with the World
Committee for Palestine,
composed of delegations
from 29 countries, "played a
not insignificant role" in the
adoption of the United Na-
tions partition plan of
Palestine in 1947, Voss
said.
Forty years later, Voss is
still a Christian Zionist. As__,
ecumenical scholar-i
residence for the Nation6._-/
Conference of Christians
and Jews, he has been visit-
ing scholar for Israel at the
Ecumenical Institute for
Advanced Theological
Studies at Tantur and at the
Hebrew University in
Jerusalem. Beginning in
1947, he has visited Israel
20 times, often conducting
study tours through Arab
countries and Israel.
Voss is also an active
member of the National
Christian Leadership Con-
ference on Israel, has edited
pro-Israel magazines, and
written eight books. He is
currently working on his
ninth: "We Were Not Silent
— American Christians for
and Against Zionism, 1917
— Present."
Voss said he sees a "vast
number" of Protestant
clergy and lay people today
as pro-Israel, and an
equally "vast number" who
are anti-Israel. In the
1940's, for the most part,
Christian leadership was
against the ACPC, he re-
called.
