THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE
Friday, February 21, 1958
PRESS OPINIONS
STATUS OF SOVIET JEWS
In 1937-38 there were 18 Jewish theatres in the Soviet Union.
In 1948 the last of these were padlockd. In 1918 there were 11 Jewish
dailies in USSR. In 1948 the last Jewish periodical with a national
circulation was shut down. In short, by the time of Stalin’s death a
small civilization, compact with accomplishment, was on the way
to extinction. No other minority in the USSR has been singled out
for such complete obliteration. To this day, no public apology has
been made to the families of the liquidated Jewish writers and
artists. In his address to the 20th Party Congress, Nikita Khrushchev
called out the roll of minorities persecuted in the last years of Sta
lin’ rule. Soviet Jewry was not included . . . Concomitant with this
liquidation of a culture, the Soviet Union has been guilty, under
Stalin and now under Khrushchev, of a policy of deliberate dis
crimination against Jews in the professions, civil service and edu
cation. The existence of an unofficial but effective quota system for
Jews was conceded by Khrushchev to a French Socialist delegation
and a Canadian Communist delegation. Under these circumstances,
there can be only one equitable solution. Soviet Jews who refuse to
countenance this humiliating inequality and persecution of their cul
ture should be granted by the Soviet authorities the elementary right
of freedom of movement—the right to seek a home elsewhere . . .
The Soviet identity cord identifies the Jews as a nationality. They arc
evidently an unwanted and captive nationality .

SINAI VICTORY BOOST TO FRENCH JEWRY
There has been a remarkable revival of Jewish consciousness in
France. And, strangely, this is one of the dramatic by-products of
the Sinai campaign and a great gain to the Jewish community in
France. Whatever benefit Israel may have derived from this out
standing military feat, the Jews of France have had awakened in
them, almost overnight, a new pride in their being Jewish and being
French at the same time. Instead of the fear of being accused of
dual loyalties, there has been born a dual affinity, with French
Jews looking at Israel not only as an outpost of their ancestral cul
ture but also a new and worthy ally of France . . . Jews in France
have turned to Zionism with fresh interest and vigor. They have also
turned with a greater keenness towards traditional Judaism . . . The
Jewish pulse beats more strongly in Paris today . . . Responsible
leaders in France point with confidence to the increasing number
of Jewish children attending religious classes . . . The wealthier
elements, until recently indifferent to Jewish life, have begun, un
der the impact of this new revival, to show a tendency to the fold.

IN A LIGHTER VEIN
By JACOB RICHMAN
LOOKING FAR INTO THE FUTURE
The dying niggard sent an urgent call to the rabbi. He felt that
his end was near, and he desired to leave all his earthly possessions in
the rabbi’s custody.
"I see now that the poor fellow was misjudged,” commented the
minister. “His reason for not giving any charity during his life was
that he wanted to save his money and then make one big contribution
that would achieve some perceptible benefit. It is a lesson that we
must always think the best of our fellowmen.”
The spiritual leader of the community entered the sick-room with
a guilty and remorseful conscience. “Too bad,” remarked the saintly
man, sympathetically, “that you have to depart so soon. But I have
no doubt that you can face the Creator confidently. Now what can I
do for you?”
“Rabbi,” quoth the expiring curmudgeon, “I have amassed a
great fortune and now that I am passing away you are the only man
to whom I can entrust it. I want you to lend out my money at good
interest and on first mortgages only. And when your time comes, hand
everything over to your successor as rabbi, giving him the same in
structions and let the other rabbi do the same, and so forth, indefi
nitely.”
“And what do you want it for?” demanded the rabbi, in amaze
ment.
“Why, don’t you believe in ‘tehias hamesim,’ in resurrection?
Some day, when I rise, I will be sure to find a nice little fortune,
and I’ll be secured with a comfortable living.”
(From 272-page book. “Laughs From Jewish Lore” — Hebrew
Publishing Company, 77 Delancey Street, N.Y.C.)
It seems improbable that
we, or any nation or group
of nations, will attain peace
until each man, in his own
mind and heart, treats all
men as his brothers.—Eddie
Cantor.
If you really believe in
the brotherhood of man,
and you want to come into
its fold, you’ve got to let
everyone else in too—Oscar
Hammerstein II.
Brotherhood is one of the
most demanding—and most
rewarding — principles in
our lives. Its application is
not limited to our homes or
to our homeland. The res
ponsibilities of brotherhood
stretch around the world:
and wherever men dwell,
their needs and their suc
cesses are for all to share.
The furtherance of such a
principle demands the ut
most in justice and charity,
but the rewards of brother
hood are even greater.
These are the fruits of a
world at peace.—Dwight D.
Eisenhower, Honorary
Chairman.
One thing I like about
show business is that
people are judged on the
basis of their ability, not
because of their race, color
or creed. And that’s the way
it should be in every walk
of life. — Faye Emerson.
Believe that you are a
brother to all men and that
all men are brothers to you.
You’ll like yourself better if
you do.—Dinah Shore.
