THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE
iKT,
An Eternal Tale
By BEN NATHAN
(A Seven Arts Feature)
It’s Hanuka time again. '
And to understand it beat we
can go beck to its oldest symbol,
the oil wick burning for eight
days amid the ruin and destruc
tion of the Temple. What does
the oil wick burning for eight
days amid (the ruin and destruc
tion of the Temple teach us? It
teaches us that despite the ap
parent havoc and breakdown of
all things around us, if there is
some living fire left, some living
spitrk, some flicker of hope still
alive—that using that, that little
ness of littleness, we can make it
through and come ouit confident
again and make it through to the
winning aide.
The oil wick burning for eight
days amid the ruin and destruc
tion of the Temple teaches us
never to despair utterly, never
to give up utterly; never to doubt
utterly, never to give in utterly
Notorious Villa
Poses Problem
BONN (JTA)— The future of
the notorious villa at Wannsee,
in Berlin, where Nazi leaders de
cided the “final solution” of the
Jewish question, is under consid
eration by the Government, but
no decision has been announced..
A suggestion that the building
be converted into an international
archive on the Nazi era has been
advanced by the anti-Nazi play
wright, Rolf Hochhiuth, former
Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt, now
Foreign Minister, and by various
Jewish groups. The Wannsee
house is now being used as a chil
dren’s recreation oentex.

end never to lose faith utterly.
It teaches us that no matter bow
bleak things seem, no matter
bow lost things seem, no matter
how broken and ruinous things
seem, if we can keep a small
light burning, then hope there
still is! It teaches us never to
doubt completely, never to give
up or give in completely.
Who would have thought that
after two thousand years our peo
ple would have regained the
Temple grounds where formerly
two of our Temples Stood? Who
woqld have thought that after
two thousand years it is now pos
sible to see a third Temple rise
on the very site where formerly
two other Temples stood and fell
in ruin? Who would ever have
thought that in the Hanuka of
the future we may celebrate it
not for the oil wick that burned
for eight days but for the actual
rebuilding of the Temple on the
very spot where two prior Tem
ples were once destroyed?
Do not fancy this a foolish
thought. There are many stable
heads now considering this very
possibility.
There are many who believe in
the rebuilding of the Temple now.
Can you imaguife how wte-, the
Jews all over the world, will
ebrate that Hanuka on the da)
of which the foundation stone for
the third Temple will be laid?
That Hanuka of that Hanuka will
be the Hanuka of all Hanukas!
The greatest Hanuka to be cele
brated on this earth since Han
uka was first started to be cele-.
brated! May our children and
grandchildren come to witness it
soon.
So again we are taught — do
not yield to darkness, do not yield
to the decimation of faith, do
not yield to loss. Know that the
light bums not only for eight days,
but that it bums always, for you
and yours. Yes, it bums forever.
Cabinet Approves
Zionist Conference
$2 Billion Budget
JERUSALEM (JTA) — The
Cabinet approved a draft budget
for fiscal 1968-69 which is be
lieved to equal the current $2
billion budget, but contains a re
duction of property taxes and
abrogation of the compulsory 18
percent loan for immigrant ab
sorption that all Israelis now pay
in addition to their income tax.
The property tax cuts will apply
to land and buildings. The bud
get will be introduced in the
Knesset on Jan. 1, 1968.
Wants Added Youth
BRUSSELS (JTA)—A Europe
wide Zionist conference here
voted with virtual unanimity to
strengthen the World Zionist Or
ganization by the infusion of
young blood, but not to alter its
structure or modify its existing
framework. The vote was a re
jection of far-reaching plans for
a re-organized WZO which are
on the agenda of the next World

NEW YORK (JTA)—President
Charles de Gaulle of France “may
or may not be an anti-Semite”
but liis statements about the. cha
racter of the Jewish people, made
at his press conference last month,
are “unbelievable and harmful,”
Marines Sperber, noted French
author, said here. Mr. Sperber
spoke at the annual dinner of
the World Federation of Bergen
Belsen Associations when he ac
cepted the 1967 Remembrance
Award for “excellence and dis
tinction in literature.”
United Hias Honors
He told the assemblage that
“the tragedy of de Gaulle is that
hens an undefeated victor” and
yarned that “he remains faithful
to the ideology of his youth and
may even go back back to some
evil lesson of his former masters
—tor instance the anti-Semitism
of Charles Maurras—the Maurras
who was to the end of his life
one of the leading ideologists of
Retain and his Vichy regime.”
Former President
NEW YORK (JTA)n*The Uni
ted Hias Service honored its
former president, Murray J.
Gurfein, for “inspiring leader
ship during one of the most try
ing periods in the agency’s his
tory.” An award, a framed
copper repousse, was presented
to Mr. Gurfein by incumbent
president Carlos L. Israels at the
38th annual conference of the
United Hias Council of Organi
zations attended by more than
400 delegates from fraternal,
labor and religious organizations
at Hias headquarters here. Mr.
Israels commended Mr. Gurfein
“for serving effectively as a
spokesman for Jewish migrants
during a critical decade that
included the Hungarian revolu
tion, the Sinai campaign, the
Cuban revolt and the Algerian
war.”

CAMOUFLAGE
On bis last visit to the Golan
Heights *a (traveler discovered a
camouflaged area which cover
ed an arsenal. As he came closer
he saw that the camouflage,
which looked like grass from afar,
was actually small pebbles which
had been painted green all
around by the women of the
nearby village! (
