THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE
Friday, July 12, 1968
Israel, Arabs, Major Powers
Want Jarring Mission Kept On
JERUSALEM (JTA)—Neither
side in the Middle East dispute
nor any of the Big Powers want
United Nations peace envoy
Ambassador Gunnar V. Jarring
to end his mission, although so
far it has accomplished little or
nothing toward bringing Israel
and the Arab states to the peace
table, it was reliably reported
here.
But sources close to the Israel
Gov ernment are increasingly
concerned that the latest “peace
offensive” by Egypt’s Foreign
Minister Mahmoud Riad may gain
credence abroad.
What the Egyptians are after
is not a peace treaty with Israel
but some sort of formula for an
armed peace such as the one
that followed the 1949 armistice
agreements, they said. Mr. Riad’s
talk of “sweet reason” heard in
several European capitals re
cently may influence other gov
ernments toward accepting the
Egyptian viewpoint, the sources
said.
Foreign Minister Abba Eban
met with Dr. Jarring in The
Hague recently and reported to
the Cabinet on his latest talk
with the UN emissary. It was
reliably learned that Dr. Jar
ring will submit only an interim
report to Secretary General U
Thant next month, not a final
report, and that he will not ask
for a change in his terms of ref
erence which seek to promote an
agreement between both sides in
the Middle East conflict.

SILVER LINING
By DR. SAMUEL SILVER
(A Seven Arts Feature)
Nonagenarian
You’d never know that Ber
nard G. Richards is 90 years old.
He goes to his office on W.
57th Street in New York every
day, and often
he does his own
marketing. He’s
a widower.
The twinkle in
Mr. Richard’s eye/
is a sign that he’
is one of our
n a tion’s finest
s a t i r ists. He
wrote literary
jabs at our foibles for the Boston
Post over fifty years ago.
When Mr. Richard’s eyes
gleam it is because he has just
furnished data about Judaism to
someone who has come to him
as the director of the Jewish
Information Bureau, or because
he is recalling events in his long
and fruitful life.
Mr. Richards has much to re
call. He can remember summon
ing American Jewry to form the
American Jewish Congress
where he served as executive di
rector and brain trust to the
late Rabbi Stephen Wise for
years.
He remembers the hectic and
significant role of a Jewish del
egation at the peace conference
after World War I at Versailles,
France. He helped in the policies
and phraseology created by that
group.
Mr. Richards can reminisce
about the time when the Jewish
community of New York tried
to create an overall council
under the leadership of Rabbi
Judah Magnes.
On the inside of the Zionist
movement, Richards knew every
big name associated with Jew
ish life in the past, and every
big name in Jewish life today

JEWISH LIFE
IS TARR’D
Rabbi Herbert Tarr has done
it again.
The clever rabbi-bachelor-
novelist who gave us that jab
in “Conversion of Chaplain
Cohen” continues to satirize
synagogue life in another dev-
astatingly amusing book, “Hea
ven Help Us,” (Random House).
Rabbi Tarr has a serious pur
pose: to make us realize how
glorious an asset is our Juda
ism.
He achieves his aim, however,
by a series of funny vignettes.
The committee to scrutinize the
applicant for the pulpit is des
cribed as an off-Broadway ver
sion of the Spanish Inquisition.
Tarr has an almost irrational
dislike of synagogue kitchens
and tilts his spear at them
afresh in this book.
The young rabbi in the Tarr
book gets a lots of advice about
what to put in a eulogy. He tiffs
with a Protestant minister who
insists on saying that the New
Testament is an advance on the
“Old”; the chapter where the
rabbi cites chapter and verse to
prove that the opposite is true
is a gem.
Tarr’s rabbi grapples with a
Bar Mitzva problem. He irks his
conservative members by his
liberal views. He has a brush
with a slumlord in his congre
gation and a black militant in
his community. His mother
never stops working on him to
give up the pulpit and become
a doctor. His father wants him
to give up the religious “non
sense” and go into business. In
one chapter he is “caught in the
act,” of trimming a Christmas
tree.
Throughout it all, Tarr, in this
semi-autobiographical narrative,
keeps pleading with Jews to
take their faith more seriously
and to enjoy it more. Occasion
ally Tarr uses language which is
a bit strong for me, but in ef
fect the book is a tour de force,
leaving the reader some aspects
of congregational life Tarr’d
and feathered.
