New York — Because sound
recordings for the blind have
proven helpful to sighted
youngsters with learning dis-
abilities, the Jewish Braille In-
stitute is making its library of
thousands of "talking books" on
Jewish topics available to learn-
ing disabled children in Jewish
day schools and synagogue reli-
gious school programs.

Haifa. — Not long ago Elie
Wiesel published a provocative
article in The Jewish News which
was entitled: "Why Don't I Live
in Israel?"
At the outset he is hard put to
answer his own question. He is
not in Israel for reasons which
escape me," he writes. His situa-
tion is ambiguous, complex and
even painful to him. He loves, Is-
rael, he says, unconditionally,
but he is not ready to sacrifice the
Diaspora for her.
Unlike Ben-Gurion, I will not
be drawn into passing judgment
on all those Jews in the Diaspora
who, for what are no doubt very
valid reasons for them, refuse
even to consider taking up a new
life in the Jewish State. But Elie
Wiesel is not every man. He is a
distinguished modern
philosopher of Jewish existence.
His interpretations of the
Holocaust have given new mean-
ing to Jewish life.
Yet Wiesel is obviously tor-
•
mented. He is not satisified with
his excuses, and searches for
others. He tells a story, the infer :
ence of which is that perhaps he
is needed to serve the Jewish
people wherever they may be;
perhaps he is not worthy of going
to the Holy Land. He says noth-
ing of how much Israel needs the
likes of him.
Alas, his protests fall short. His
inspiring books, his eloquent lec-
tures, his stimulating messages
on the eternity of Jewish values
and on the victories of the Jewish
spirit over all enemies, indicate
that, like Yehuda Halevi, though
his body may be in the West, his
heart is really in Jerusalem.
The greatest service that he
could render to the Jewish people
— and to himself — would be to
make his home in Jerusalem, and
from there continue to spread his
inspirational , messages — there,
from his home, and not from the
new and prosperous Golus which
he exchanged for the old that col-
lapsed under him.
Israel needs immigrants for the
human and Jewish values which
they can bring with them. It
needs immigrants to bolster its
own morale in the face of political
and economic buffeting. What a
great asset a man like Wiesel
would be, an example to many,
many others who respect and
admire him. His decision to re-
main away is a severe blow.
If I felt that Wiesel truly be-
lieves he is at home in New York
equally as well as he would be in
Jerusalem, I would have cause
for despair. Yet on the basis of his
. own words I can not say that he
has truly made a final decision.
