An Arab Village
Wailing Discovery
/
RAMA — Small though it is,
Israel still has a number of
charming places, off the beaten
path, which are not on any of
the standard sightseeing trips.
I am writing this from the un
known village of Rama, an Arab
township in the Lower Galilee, a
pleasant, interesting site still
waiting to be discovered.
Rama is a town of some 4,000
inhabitants, tucked away on a
ridge 1,000 feet above sea level,
off the Acre-Safed road. It has
electricity and running water,
-OBITUARIES-

Friends and relatives of the
late Rebecca and Alex Druikin,
parents of Mrs Norman Lovin-
ger of Atlanta, are invited to
attend unveiling ceremonies at
12:30 p.m., Sunday, May 7, in
the Shearith Israel section of
Greenwood Cemetery. Rabbi
Donald Frieman will officiate.
Zamoscinski
Unveiling Held
Unveiling ceremonies in mem
ory of Edward Zamoscinski
were held Sunday, Apr. 30, in
Crest Lawn Cemetery with Rab
bi Donald Frieman officiating.
Mrs. Sarah Goldberg
Mrs. Sarah L. Goldberg, 84, of
Atlanta died Saturday, Apr. 29.
Funeral services were held
Monday, May 1, with Rabbi
Harry H. Epstein and Cantor
Isaac Goodfriend officiating. In
terment was in Greenwood
Cemetery.
Mrs. Goldberg, widow of Jos
eph Goldberg, was a member of
Ahavath Achim Synagogue and
its Sisterhood.
Survivors include three daugh
ters, Mrs. Jacob Butler, Mrs.
Bennie G. Cohen and Mrs. Eva
Martin; sons, A. Ervin Goldberg
and J. Elliott Goldberg and sis
ter, Mrs. Celia Spector, all of
Atlanta, grandchildir e n and
great-grandchildren.
Mrs. Mary Stone
Mrs. Mary Berger Shukoff
Stone died Sunday, Apr. 23, in
Houston, Tex.
Funeral services were held
April 24.
Mrs. Stone was raised in At
lanta, the daughter of the late
Mr. and Mrs. David Berger who
were old time settlers among
the Jewish community. She
was the sister of Abe, Max,
Henry and Ben Berger who
preceeded her in death. She had
been married to the late A. D.
Shukoff. She later married
Joseph Stone. After his death
she moved to Tampa.
The last few years Mrs. Stone
resided in Houston.
She is survived by her daugh
ter. Mrs. Ben Kantor of Tampa,
and two sons, S. J. (Buddy) and
Robert L. Shelby; a sister, Mrs.
Samuel J. (Irene) Chaite of
Tampa, and eight grandchildren.
but modernity has not spoiled
its charm. The foot of the tour
ist has not yet trod through its
winding alleys.
The scattered sherds, ancient
pillars and mosaics are unex
plored. Even the archaeologist
has not yet been here.
What gives Rama a character
of its own and sets it apart from
other Arab villages is the high
level of the education of its
members. Almost all its children
attend School. There are two
high schools, with an enroll
ment of 650, one of which also
attracts attendance from other
Arab villages for miles around.
The economic basis of the vil
lage is agriculture: olives, fruit,
cattle. Indeed, the modern olive
oil press is an interesting sight.
However Rama has another im
portant “industry”: dozens of its
population constitute the teach
ers in Arab schools throughout
the Galilee — again a reflection
of the high educational level of
its neonle. I was interested to
learn from the owner of the
local newsstand and bookshop
that a large number of Hebrew
newspapers are read in Rama —
though the town has no Jews.
Almost everyone with whom I
chatted in the streets spoke a
good, or adequate Hebrew.
One explanation Is to be found
in the composition of the popu
lation. Two thirds of the people
are Christians, almost one third
Druzes, with only a scattering
of Moslems. I saw a number of
Druze youth proudly wearing
the uniform of the Israel De
fense Forces.
How does one measure the de
gree of 20th century civilization
in a place like this? Rama cer
tainly passes all educational cri
teria with flying colors. I
looked around: I found two
banks, four houses of worship,
three barber shops. Most of the
Arabs wear modern dress.
There are 106 private auto
mobiles in Rama. Almost every
family has a washing machine,
an electric refrigerator, a gas or
electric range, a television set.
Surely these are evidence at
least of material prosperity.
There is no movie house, I
was told ruefully. The single
cinema had been operated by a
local citizen, but when his fam
ily had a row with another big
family clan, the latter boycotted
the place and it closed down.
The people are clean, friendly,
hospitable. The strolling, curi
ous stranger was invited indoors
for coffee or even lunch by al
most everyone with whom he
chatted. I saw something here I
have never seen in any other
Arab village, large or small,
anywhere in Israel: a large gar
bage collection truck rolling
through the alleys, and Arab
women descending from their
homes with full buckets which
they emptied carefully into the
van.
Some day Rama will be dis
covered. Please, no factories;
maybe a health resort or a ho
tel. I hope the people will not
be spoiled when the inundation
comes.
l ime for a Merger?
By RABBI SAMUEL SILVER
Once upon a time there was
a Columbia University profes
sor named Robert Maclver, who
was asked to
rate the effici
ency of those
organiza t i o n
devoted to de- i
fend l n g the
good name of
the Jewish peo
ple.
A Christian, Dr. Maclver
worked so hard that many peo
ple rhymed his name with
beaver. He pushed his staff so
forcefully that some rhymed it
with driver.
This happened some 25 years
ago.
Dr. Maclver studied the work
of (he American Jewish Com
mittee and found it good. It’s
still good, with the “boss,”
Bertram Gold doing, a fine job,
and one of his rabbinical stars,
Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum ce
menting relationships between
Jew and non-Jew.
He examined the efforts of the
Anti-Defamation League and
pronounced them fine. They’re
still fine, as Benjamin Epstein,
the chief executive and his staff
combat bigots and racists. The
ADL is a diamond for the B’nai
IVrith diadem.
He examined the efforts of the
American Jewish Congress,
founded by Stephen Wise to win
legislative victories for the
cause of human rights. Led by
Will Maslow and Richard
Cohen, the AJC still spearheads
many a struggle for equality.
Dr. Maclver took a good look
at the Jewish Chautauqua So
ciety of the Reform National
body of temple men’s clubs and
praised what he saw. Still
praiseworthy are the lectures at
colleges, Christian camps and
films on Judaism being stage-
managed by Sylvan Lebow, of
the Society and his lay leaders.

Dr. Maclver had an observa
tion to make after his exhaustive
study. He suggested that greater
efficiency and less duplication
in the important work of up
holding the dignity of the Jew
would be brought about if the
groups coordinated their efforts.
The result of this proposal was
the NCRAC, the National Com
munity Relations Advi s o r y
Council, and over-all coordina
tor of the groups mentioned plus
many Jewish community coun
cils. .
If a modern Dr. Maclver were
to size up the situation now, he
might suggest even greater
meshing of these groups, plus
the defense work of the Nation
al Jewish War Veterans, the
Jewish Labor Congress, the
American Jewish Conference
on Soviet Jewry, etc.
Don’t you agree?
