Marsha 851-6793 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. ;` Senators Cited NEW YORK — Senators Daniel P. Moynihan of New York and Robert Packwood of Oregon, the two chief sponsors of the Tuition Tax Relief Act of 1981, will re- ceive a special award for 'their efforts at the 59th an- nual dinner of Agudath Is- rael of America on May 31. Soviet Drop-Outs TEL AVIV (ZINS) — From 1976 to 1980, 133,000 Jews left the Soviet Union, but only 53,000 reached Is- rael. The rest dropped out in Vienna and went to the west. Recently, the percent- age of dropouts has soared to 80 percent.
