tionalists. A friend of mine,
who just finished a stint of
reserve duty in Hebron
guarding "settlers," calls
them "psychotic fascists:'
They're not all like that,
but too many of them are
Meir Kahana's followers.
Not exactly the cream of
American Jewry!!) we are
doomed to years of non-
liberal governments.
One of my consolations is
that Israel is still a develop-
ing country, so there's a
chance for us to develop in
the right (read that as "cor-
rect") direction: liberal,
democratic and tolerant. I
hope so.
If we could solve the
Palestinian problem (get
rid of the territories and
them!), this country could
be a dream . . . and a fun
place. After all, Jews are a
dynamic, crazy and
creative people; and there's
no telling what we could
develop here. Then again,
historically speaking, Jews
have a hell of a time living
together .. .
I suppose I'll always be
ambivalent about this
place (Israel). It's almost
the classic Jewish dilem-
ma: On the one hand it's
like living in a zoo or circus
— you become "meshuge"
and start acting like the
animals; on the other
hand, it's an exciting place.
Personally, I could do
much better in the U.S.
(academically and
economically) and yet .. .
(see what I mean?) .. .
Professor Rockaway went
on aliyah and has to his credit
many roles of a pioneering
nature. He may well be con-
sidered a professorial halutz.
Therefore, he writes
authoritatively and as a
devoted resident in the land
in which he has served with
distinction for a decade.
His views can be accepted
as guidelines occasioned by a
crisis in Israel. He has no
solutions — who has? What
he writes, nevertheless, adds
substance to the need to find
comfort in the agonies that
have emerged from a new
form of warfare for Israel.
Emergency

prevented a more tragic
slaughter.
I hope with you that the
result of the outrages will
bring a greater effort for
the establishment of the
Jewish Homeland in
Palestine.
Current experiences lend
emphasis to these recollec-
tions. Destruction of forests
demands redoubling of duties
to replant them. This was the
response in 1929 as it will
surely be now. The sensa-
tionalism accorded to the cur-
rent violence by the media
reduces the hope of attaining
support similar to that ac-
corded our needs more than
half-a-century ago.
It is the Jewish response
that is of the utmost im-
mediacy. While we must
strive for universal support
again for justice to Jewish
needs, the loyalty of the Jew
is most vital. If that is
assured, there will be greater
confidence that destruc-
tiveness may end and
cooperation with Arabs
attained.
Therefore, consideration of
the emergency as an im-
mediate challenge is vital for
the entire Jewish peoplehood.
Therefore, the campaign now
instituted must be an
outstanding triumph in
Jewish responsiveness.

In Our Tradition
And they shall build

fruit of them;
They shall not build,
and another inhabit,
They shall not plant,

Leviticus, 19:23
... thou shall not
destroy the trees . . . for
the tree of the field is
man's life .. .
Deuteronomy, 20:19
Once while Choni
Hame'aguela was walk-
ing along a road he saw
a man planting a carob
tree. Choni asked him:
"How many years will it
require for this tree to
give forth fruit?"
The man answered
that it would require 70
years.
Choni asked, "Are you
so hale a man that you
expect to live that length
of time and eat of its
fruit?"
The man answered, "I
found a fruitful world
because my forefathers
planted for me. So will I
do for my children:'
Ta'anit, 23
