WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING
An AJP Digest of Contemporary Opinion
Rumanian .Jews Settle Quickly
About two-thirds of the 20,000 immigrants from Rumania and
Eastern Europe, who arrived in Israel within within the latest ten
weeks, are being swiftly settled in some 25 brand new towns in
development areas that extend from Galilee in the .north to the
Negev Desert in the south ... I visited some of the 1300 Rumanians
just settled in the town of Kiryat Gath. This is near the famous
biblical site of which King David, lamenting the death of Saul and
Jonathan, had cried: “Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the
streets of Ashkelon." Nqw, 20th century Jews arriving in Israel
penniless from behind the Iron Curtain are beginning a new life
iq a four-year-old town which is already the industrial, cultural
and nerve center of a great development area extending from the
Gaza Strip of Egypt to the Hebron Hills of Jordan . . . Kiryat Gath
is typical of Israel’s eleven-year growth ...
RUTH GRUBER, N.Y. Herald Tribune, from Israel
Arabs “Heil Hitler” German Businessmen
The historic Berlin-to-Baghdad ambitions of the Germans got
nowhere politically under the whip of the Kaiser or the Fuehrer,
but before the peaceful push of West Germany’s prosperous econ
omy, they are succeeding surprisingly well. Armed now with
sample case and blueprints instead of howitzer and battle plans,
West Germany’s businessmen are aggressively pushing ahead with
a more realistic version of the old “Drive to the East.” . . . Ger
many’s o\Vr> past, clean and otherwise, is put to advantage. As
reparations for Nazi atrocities against the Jews, West Germany has
paid Israel $460 million, much of it in capital goods, thus commit
ting Israel industries to German machines, raw materials and spare
parts. At the same time, many Arabs think of the Nazis as the first
and most successful anti-Israelis. “I’m embarrassed sometimes,”
says a West German businessman, “when an Arab says Heil Hit
ler!’ to me.” A less sensitive colleague admits that he prefers his
Mideastern salesmen to be men “with good war records”—ideally,
former members of Rommel’s Afrika Korps . . .

An AJP Feature
THE FORMER PROPHETS
The Prophets are sub-divided
into two parts: Former Prophets
and Latter Prophets.
The first part, composed of
four books — Joshua, Judges,
Samuel, Kings — contains the
history of the people from the
conquest under Joshua, through
the heroic age of the Judges
with its incipient attempts at
unification of the tribes, to the
founding of the monarchy under
Saul and David, narrated cir
cumstantially in Samuel, and its
progress under Solomon; then
during the period of the divided
kingdom to the destruction of
Samaria (722 before the common
era), and lastly during the con
tinued existence of the kingdom
of Judah to the fall of Jerusalem
(586 B.C.E.), or rather to the
release of Jehoiachin from pri
son (562 B.C.E.) — all of which
forms the contents of the Book
of Kings.
First and Second Samuel are
counted as one book; so also
First and Second Kings.
THE LATTER PROPHETS
The second part consists of
three larger prophetical works,
mainly embodying addresses; but,
as in the case of Jeremiah par
ticularly, also biographical mat
ter concerning the prophets; and
one book which is a collection
of twelve Minor Prophets, i.e.
minor in size. The three larger
books are Isaiah, Jermiah, Ezek
iel; the twelve smaller constitut
ing the fourth: Hosea, Joel, Amos,
Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum,
Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai,
Zechariah, Malachi.
KETUBIM
The third section or Ketubim
(the Writings) consists of the
Book of Psalms, Proverbs, Job;
the five Scrolls (the Megillot) in
the order in which they are read
in the Synagogue: Song of Songs
(Passover), Ruth (Festival of
Weeks), Lamentations (Fast of
Av), Ecclesiastes (Tabernacles),
Esther (Purim); then follow

M.I.T. Adds Kosher
Kitchen for Students
BOSTON —The Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, famed
for its laboratories, science cen
ter and vast research facilities,
is adding something new.
A kosher kitchen.
Previously, Jewish students at
MIT who observed kashruth
prepared weekday meals in
their dormitory rooms. Friday
evenings, for Sabbath, they
would walk a considerable dis
tance to the B’nai B’rith Hillel
Foundation at Harvard.
Recently an MIT fire regula
tion banned hot plates in the
college’s dorms.
Rabbi Herman Pollack, B’nai
B’rith Hillel director at MIT,
appealed to college officials.
An MIT dean expressed re
spect for Jewish undergraduates
who stood by , their convictions
on kashruth under difficult cir
cumstances. “It shouldn’t be
necessary,” he said, “for MIT
students to travel any far dis
tance to fulfill a religious com
mitment.”
MIT then provided Hillel with
space on campus to maintain a
kosher kitchen.
It will serve an evening meal
each day for the 25 students in
volved.
The Associated Synagogues of
Greater Boston, the Va’ad Ha-
Rabbinim of Greater Boston and
MIT alumni are cooperating
with the Hillel Foundation in
the venture.

Women Are Warned
Against UJS. Trend
To Self-Segregation
LOS ANGELES, (JTA) — A
growing trend among Jews and
other religious and racial groups
in the United States to segregate
themselves was reported Mon
day to the biennial convention
of the National Council of Jew
ish Women,
Mrs. Joseph Willen, second
vice-presideht, told the 800 dele
gates of the trend to develop
“homogeneous communities
which are, in essence, self-segre-
S ated, and which do not cross
nes either in schools or in
other community facilities." She
said this pattern not only iso
lated American Jews but was
“inherently dangerous to the
democratic fabric since Ameri
cans are not learning to get
along with people of other
creeds and colors."
The sneaker also told the con
vention That while the Jewish
community is in the forefront
in its programs for care of the
aged, it is still far from recogn
izing many of the urgent needs
of older people. She reported,
too, that studies revealed that
needs for Jewish education were
not being adequately met.
Mrs. Moise S. Cahn, of New
Orleans, opened the convention
Sunday with an appeal for sup
port of the United Jewish Ap
peal. She pointed out that “a
quarter, of a million Jews are
about to leave the homes they
have known all their lives to
emigrate to Israel. “She warned
that when they step across the
border “they will be improver-
ished.” A telegram from Israel
Foreign Minister Golda Meir
appealing <Jor support was read
to the convention.
