Page 7 — THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE. August 3, 1973
Jewish Corner at U.N.
by Wolf Paswanik
UNITED NATIONS, (WUP)
— Although the United Nations
has set aside space for a little
"Meditation Room” minus any
whatsoever religious symbols,
there is one spot within the world
organization where a tnezuza
glares you in the eyes.
This mezuza, a gift from a well-
known Israeli journalist, graces a
wall behind the busy desk of UN
correspondent David Horowitz in
Room 373 situated on the third
floor press section of the glass-
and-marble Secretariat building.
In Horowitz.' corner in this of-
Iice — which is shared with two
friendly Turkish newsmen, an
amiable Korean, a goodly Italian,
a representative of the Kansas City
Star, and two U. S. radio reporters
— one is also confronted with a
Hunuka menorah, two beautifully-
ornamental skull caps, one from
India and another a gift of the
Israeli Druze, along with several
other Israeli-Jewish symbols.
In short, here at the WUP
Bureau within the very heart of
this ‘Parliament of Man' we have a
truly Jewish-lsraeli niche which
makes visiting Israelis and others
at home.
Significantly, this open display
of Hebraica has deeply impressed
even Horowitz' non-Jewish
colleagues, among them Chinese
and East European correspondents
including Russians who often step
into his office for chats on the
political doings of the day
Proof of their great esteem for
Horowitz lies in the fact that in
1971 and 1972 he was elected Sec
retary of the UN Correspondents
Association consisting of some 250
in the Jewish world leel very much

Identity Crisis-
( ontinued from Page 6
“one might suspect that
I the school is not doing
much in the way of Jewish
education.”
I The rabbi spelled out in
I some detail the problems
of such identity crises. The
child is “confused about
his own religious identity
I because he is keeping two
I sets of books.” Wearing a
skullcap and praying each
I morning are mandatory at
I such schools while such
I practices may be totally
J unknown at home, for ex
ample.
I Another bad problem,
I the educator-psychologist
added, is guilt. The child,
as a member of a non-
I observant family, natural-
I ly participates in family
activities which may be
banned by Jewish Law.
j “There are feelings of guilt
I for riding to the beach on
Shabbos, for eating in a
• trefi- restaurant with the
I family and enjoying it, and
I perhaps for going lo a
J church wedding" The
I situation presents
I problems not only for child
* and parents hut also for
the school administration
I and teachers, he said.
I He asserted there were
I two concepts "which hold
the key” to resolving issues
I centered around such
I philosophical and
• ideological differences:
* “honesty and open-
I mindedness. " He said the
I school principal mu;,:
I “honestly relate to the
* parents the joys and
nachas of children par-
| ticipatlng in building a suc-
I cah or baking matzohs or
praying with a minyan.
■ The image of the school
I should not be vague or un-
• clear" to the parents, a
responsibility he laid
directly upon the school's
I administration.
I He contended that
J parents, who may be per
sonally non-observant, but
I who know what they can
I come to expect from the
Hebrew day school “will
tend to feel less resentful,
I less disturbed and more
I prepared to deal with the
issue of religious conflict
with their family" He
I conceded that "this kind 6f
I honesty will turn some
families away from the
school” but that the risk
I had to be taken.

need of maximum
openness and honesty on
I the part of Orthodox
I educators toward such
parents. R a b h1
