ago, I anticipated the critical
responses from some readers.
However, I believe this trip
will help strengthen Jewish
identity and commitment to
the community.
Although the Miracle Mis-
sion is not a fund-raising trip,
subsidizing such a mission is
a great investment by the
United Jewish Foundation
that will be returned to our
community many times over
in the years to come.
As a community, we cannot
depend on decreasing num-
bers of committed people to
support increasing needs.
Without a unifying language
like Yiddish, a common belief
system, ghettos, or external
threats, Israel becomes an ef-
fective reminder of our par-
ticipation in Jewish civiliza-
tion, and the need to preserve
and support our interesting
cultures.
As a result of this trip, I ex-
pect the Federation will be
able to provide more for the
less fortunate, not less. The
Federation is right to invest
in the future of our commu-
nity and I applaud them.

Gaza Dilemma
Prophesied
Douglas Davis' Close Up
"This Unmanageable Hell-
Hole" (April 2) recalls Abba
Eban's report of David Ben- <
Gurion's reaction when, after
the Sinai campaign of 1956,
some Americans close to Sec-
retary of State Dulles sug-
gested that Gaza be left in
Israeli control, since Egypt
took no interest in Gaza.
I quote from Eban's book
Personal Witness, page 281:
"B en-Gurion went up to
heaven in a pillar of fire and
a cloud of smoke. In barely
suppressed indignation he
said, 'Gaza is a cancer. A bar-
rel of gun powder. A cancer
can sometimes increase the (
size of a body but every sane
person tries to get rid of it.
`How can we take 350,000
Palestinian Arabs against
their own will ... without ex-
ploding our state from with-
in? The most important
decision we shall have to
make will be to withdraw
from the Gaza. Do anything!
Get your U.N. force in there!' "
In 1967, Israel would have
done well to have remem-
bered those sentiments ex-
pressed by Ben-Gurion a
decade before.

Chiropractic Health Hints
WITH DR. STANLEY LEVINE, D.C.
THE RESULTS ARE IN.
CHIROPRACTIC MORE EFFECTIVE
In this study made by the Medical Research Council, chiroprac-
tic treatment was shown to be more effective than hospital outpa-
tient management. The results were especially significant for patients
with chronic or severe back pain. This is one of the only studies that
demonstrates the effectiveness of chiropractic care on a long-term
basis. As the abstract states: "Conclusions — For patients with low
back pain in whom manipulation is not contradicted, chiropractic
almost certainly confers worthwhile, long-term benefit in comparison
with hospital outpatient management. The benefit is seen mainly in
Dr. Levine
those with chronic or severe pain.
This particular study has made a very strong case for the inclusion
of chiropractic care in the National Health Service of Great Britain. This research illustrates
the cost effectiveness of the inclusion of chiropractic treatment in national health care as
well supporting the effectiveness of chiropractic treatment.
Another point of great interest is the statement that the effects of chiropractic treat-
ment seem to be long-term, as the study showed no return to pre-treatment pain levels
during the two years of follow-up.

see machine gun nests in Jor-
dan. I wasn't afraid of that. I
was more nervous about
whether or not our conserva-
tive colleague would make it
back in one piece.
Never had I heard such
yelling and vitriol before, and
I had been to many family re-
unions. Through the valleys
and hillsides, our van was
rocking and rolling with po-
litical argument. Nobody
would bend. There were even
points where one or another
participant or spectator
threatened to leave the bus.
I felt sorry for Danny, the
guide, who was even criti-
cized by our more argumen-
tative folks for showing us
Christian as well as Jewish
landmarks.
Through it all, though, we
floated on the Dead Sea,
climbed Masada, prayed at
the Wall, interviewed every-
one we could, and really had
a memorable time. Some of
our "arguers" even covered
their faces with mudpacks at
a Dead Sea spa. Needless to
say, we all had to make a
comment about that.
In Israel, though, intense
discussion over current
events, politics, social and
economic affairs is the rule.
Because Israelis live these
events they are emotional
and intense.
When Israelis visit the
United States, they often
comment on how Americans
try to appease one another
rather than discuss or argue.
This was the atmosphere on
our bus. As a political mod-
erate, I needed a striped
shirt and whistle.
But when we ended the
trip and arrived at Ben-Gu-
rion Airport for the flight
home, we all kissed and
hugged...even the two who
started it all hugged.
The bus rides we'll be tak-
ing in Israel next week will
probably be much different.
But we need not forget that
there are issues that mean
life and death for many in Is-
rael. It's not easy to hide your
opinions when so much is at
stake. Hopefully, we'll get a
better understanding of what
those stakes are all about
during our visit. ❑
