Indianapolis Indiana Jewish Post (Newspaper) - April 28, 1972, Indianapolis, IndianaThe jewish Post and opinion Friday april 28, 1972 Freedom of the press All letters to the editor should be addressed to the jewish Post and opinion 611 North Park ave., Indianapolis ind. 46204. The letters should be typed and should be concise. Anonymous letters will not be printed. No letters will be returned. Short letters get preference. Jewish establishment cannot react to syrian persecution Yossi told editor Post and opinion Yossi Klein so inaction on syrian jews in the april 14 Issue of the p-0 should give everyone concerned with the Well being of our fellow jews throughout the world food for thought. It Nas by now become painfully apparent that the jewish Community at Large is not about to do too much at this time for our Brethren in Syria. We read the tragically familiar news items that Tell of the grinding Down of the remaining jews in that land and an old feeling takes hold in the pit of our stomachs. Is it a combination of fear frustration and anger the familiar Specter of contempt persecution and murder to which so Many of our Brethren have been exposed is once again on the scene. We All look around kind of asking a Why does no to somebody do something about it a the news items float by Day by Day and nobody does anything. In the meantime the syrian government will no doubt continue to show their Arab confers How a a heroically they fight Israel by escalating their persecution of the jews within their Borders. Yossi Klein says a i wait for jewish leadership to prove us wrong a a a wrong that is in the commitment of jewish youth to whatever it takes including violence and confrontation to awaken the jewish Community As Well As the civilized world to what goes in in Syria. Well Yossi my guess is that you have a Long wait one of the critical prods behind the recent efforts by the jewish establishment in America on behalf of soviet jewry is the definite Prospect that if they sit on their hands then the jewish youth will move under the leadership of people who we All pretend Are unspeakable and beyond the Pale. I had occasion to attend recently a meeting of a subcommittee of the local jewish welfare federation to organize a specific soviet jewry program. The professional from new York made no Bones about warning us that we had better move energetically and with dispatch because there Are a activist elements waiting just off stage that will do it if we done to and then a a done to complain about their methods a the Man knew exactly what he was saying. The thought that a you know who May get some publicity and give us All Nice Well behaved citizens a bad name caused some sobering reflections. If previous experience teaches us anything it drives Home the lesson that it takes some Strong unsettling highly visible and highly audible action to bring such As the syrian situation to the attention of the world. Once that is done then do the various voices and energies of the jewish Community engage themselves to the required tasks. It has been proven time and again that appeals to Justice fairness and mercy have no effect on the persecutors of jews. They merely assure him that the a a victims is behaving As a victim should crying pleading for mercy and ready to die. The possibility of an a Sun gentlemanly kick to the Groin by the a a victims will however cause him to pause and reflect. I wonder if the hanging of the iraqi jews had taken place several years ago if the various Iraq ambassadors had an idea that they would face demonstrations and perhaps some broken windows the next Day consider also that there is unavoidably a considerable time lag Between the commitment of the persecuting deed and the typical reaction of the people Yossi Klein is addressing himself to. By that time the Issue has cooled considerably. The merest a a incident at the syrian embassy in Washington or at the u.n., done within 24 hours will result in front Page news that would be effective As an aroused of jewish and world conscience. The heavier but slower a a guns of the establishment can then be brought into play. One thing is certain. These a heavier guns a whatever their Caliper Are quite muted. Their sound tends to blend into the quiet murmurings of our daily lives. In today a tactics of confrontation one smoke cannister can be the equivalent in Public arousal of what used to take the murder of several jews. If the option to wait is taken up can anybody doubt but that the syrian regime will escalate their persecution of jews to derive from it All the mileage of a heroic struggle against Israel and zionist imperialism that they can one Point must always be kept before our eyes the i ski Hu-1k Sabra Way you too can learn hebrew the easy Way by Means of our unique correspondence course which reaches students in All parts of the free world.

It is regarding a congregation buying $1,000,000.00 in Bonds. I should like to advise you that on March 1, 1972 the Young Israel of Flatbush with the cooperation of the Yeshiva of Flatbush completed the Purchase of $1,000,000.00 in Israel Bonds. I thought you would be interested in knowing that there Are other synagogues who Are participating in the Bond drive to a major extent. Allen Jay Bodner 369 Lexington ave. New York . 10017 violence surrounding the persecution of jews is started by the persecutors. Tactically speaking the first reactions to an anti semitic attack should have at a minimum certain violent aspects about it. To react to the syrian situation with some Well phrased carefully worded committee resolutions would be proof to the a a statesmen running that government that to persecute jews is a perfectly Safe and profitable piece of please understand that nothing said above is meant to poke fun or cast aspersions on the jewish i shall confess that i myself am very much part of it. It is simply that i believe that Yossi Klein is asking the jewish establishment to do things that it is congenitally incapable of doing. That is Why i believe that he has a a Long one perceives in the struggles of the jewish Community a certain orchestration and sequence of the various energies and talents that exist among us. It is As wrong for the Young to expect the a to behave speedily and violently As it is for the establishment to expect our youth to act As if they have crossed the mid Century Mark. There is a Job for All of us. Ronald Gruen 10424 Remington Lane Dallas Texas 75229 Mem torah and Flora gleaning tradition Rabinowitz now been portion of the week pm or Leviticus 21-24. The verse discussed is 23.22. By l. L Rabinowitz a since the six Day War we who live in Jerusalem witness a picturesque and unusual s i i h t which was Tota 1 1 y absent during the 19 years of t h e divided City. What were once Olive Groves have abandoned and their Sites Are rapidly being taken Over by the land hungry builders. During the whole of my stay in Jerusalem until 1967 i alone As far As i am aware used to take advantage of the biblical injunction allowing everyone to help himself to the gleanings of the abandoned Olive Trees. I prepare my own olives and it was always a Point of Honor to me not to Purchase them but to gather them from these Trees and i have become quite an expert in both gathering and pickling. Now i have my rivals. One sees a group of arabs occupied in this task methodically. The men carry the sacks their women Folk Arm themselves with Long switches to coax the fruit from the Trees. During their my. Svs lunch break the arabs employ v i in building spend their time climbing up the branches of those Olive Trees which have not yet been uprooted and gather the olives to take Home. Thus apart from myself Only the arabs take advantage of that biblical injunction which gives the poor and others free Access to that fruit which would otherwise go to waste and the same applies to the Fig Trees. In ancient times these humanitarian Laws of a Shick Cha Leet Peah a the a forgotten sheaves the gleanings and the Corners of the Fields provided the Only a social Security which was available to those who had no Means. They Are not neglected today but social Security has become a matter of organized welfare instead of making the recipients dependent upon the generosity of the Farmers for whether he left much or a one ear of corny was left entirely to his sense of Charity. And As in so Many other things the unchanging customs of the arabs bring us Back to the life in the land of Israel As it was lived i n ancient times and reflected in the Bible. Or. L. I.

Locally pantry Pride and Fairway markets sold Streits matzoh for $3.40 for 5 lbs., and pub ii markets had the same product for $3.50. In nearby Tampa at the local Butcher shop there the Price for Streits matzoh was $4.00 for 5 lbs., or 80 cents per Pound. We not Only had Little Choice in the Price we paid but also Little variety since no Brand other than Streits was available except by special order.
