Indianapolis Indiana Jewish Post (Newspaper) - August 18, 1972, Indianapolis, IndianaThe jewish Post and opinion Friday August 18, 1972 Freedom of the press All letters to the editor should be addressed to the jewish Tost and opinion 611 North Park avc., 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. Call for volunteers to Aid in flood stricken areas editor Post and opinion several of us at Kibbutz Mie a the Diaspora oriented Experiment in Kibbutz living near Hancock md., spent a Day in Harrisburg pa., last week to help the jewish Community recover from the great storm Agnes flood. We took with us several Haronim campers who had spent a few Days meeting and working with us at Micah. All of us were shocked to see How widespread the damage had been and How disheartening a because Homes As Well As synagogues and the Center had been flooded because a creeping damage kept appearing because outsiders did not seem to understand. We were especially upset to hear that the jewish Community in Wilkes Barre was much worse hit and has hardly even begun to recover. In both places it seems that Money has been made available but Volunteer labor is badly needed a in Wilkes Barre desperately needed. The kind of work ranges from shovelling mud out of basements in Homes and the jewish Community Center to helping pack damaged religious books for shipment to expert restorers to washing dishes muddied and contaminated by River water. As a result of our work we think it would be really important for Camps and other jewish groups to Volunteer labor to help the jews of Harrisburg and Wilkes Barre. In Harrisburg Contact Albert Hursch and in Wilkes Barre Louis Smith each at his respective jewish Community Center. Burt Berkowitz Ilyse Levinsky Barbara Goldberg Marilyn Frank Arthur Waskow Star route Hancock my. 21750mcgovern position on Israel explained editor Post and opinion since the jewish Post and opinion gave such extensive coverage to the jewish support of or. Nixon a israeli policy i feel it is Only fair to present sen. Mcgovern a position. Sen. Mcgovern has been a Long time Friend of the jewish people. In Early 1971 sen. Mcgovern explained his support of Israel. A a basically i favor the maintenance of a balance of Power in the Quantity and sophistication of conventional arms which i believe must include the maintenance of israelis control of the air the Assurance of secure defensible boundaries International insistence on a directly negotiated settlement of the dispute Between Israel and its neighbors and the deterrence of soviet intervention in the area through firm american guaranty that a soviet threat to Israel is sen. Mcgover Mcgovern Volunteer on Issue of Israel editor Post and opinion Many jews seem to believe that they must vote for Nixon Over senator Mcgovern to insure the safety of Israel and their people. As a jewish Volunteer working for Mcgovern i strongly disagree. Mcgovern has a Fine record in support of Israel. It was his amendment to the Export import Bill of 1971 that permitted the Sale of arms to Israel. He has repeatedly pointed out the difference Between the corrupt regime in South Vietnam and the democratic state of Israel. In his acceptance speech Mcgovern pledged support to Israel. He advocates an israeli controlled Jerusalem. Mcgovern a legislative record also includes the soviet jews Relief act of 1971 which Grants 30,000 additional visas for soviet jews wishing to enter the United states and resolutions asking the president to demand Justice for soviet jewry. I done to agree with those that say his promises ring hollow. They certainly ring truer than the Nixon promises of four years ago. To vote for Nixon and Hope that he does something in his a next four years would be foolish. Jews should band together and elect Mcgovern for the betterment of Israel and jews the world Over. Linda s. Rayor 2166 s. Estes Way Lakewood Colo. 80227 spoke these words Long before he became a serious candidate for the office of president of the United states. Meyer Bodoff jewish students for Mcgovern 1021 Borbeck ave. Philadelphia a. Pittsburgh Reader to vote Republican after 45 years editor Post and opinion with reference to Harry Golden a letter in your january 28 Issue he mentions that two of his friends or. William Wexler and or. Rothberg have suddenly become i wish to state i too become a since i cast my first ballot More than 45 years ago always voted for the democratic candidate. However in the forthcoming election i will vote for president Nixon. I feel i will be voting both As a responsible american and thinking jew. Like Harry Golden i was one of the legions of american jews who proudly voted for president Roosevelt. During his administration we were president Roosevelt had the Chance to save countless jews from the holocaust but refused. Had he done so it would have not interfered with the War Effort Many american boats carrying troops to Europe came Back empty which could have been filled with Many refugees. American jews or the joint distribution committee would have helped out a great Deal and there would not have been a Burden on the american government or people. For documentation to this charge i refer or. Golden to the Book a while six million died by Arthur d. Morse. Perhaps then or. Golden will realize the callousness of president Roosevelt and his a social conscience democratic administration towards the plight of the jews. I sincerely believe that president Nixon has tried his outmost to conclude the War in Vietnam. Through his efforts 500,000 american men have left Vietnam. If Hanoi would have shown but one gesture of meeting us half Way such As freeing the american prisoners of Waran immediate cease fire could be arranged. Peace would be ours and theirs within 24 hours. Furthermore i know president Nixon did what he promised for Israel. I feel certain he will continue to treat Israel properly As israelis existence is in the Best interest of the United states. Isadore Ash Pittsburgh a. 15206 1133 no. St. Clair st. Jewish leaders not her spokesmen editor Post and opinion i resent the fact that so called jewish leaders think they can speak for me a i resent the interference of Israel in american politics. My first thought when i read of a jews for Nixon was jews supported Hitler at the begin Ning too. I am a Friend and neighbor of Audry Friedman and my children Benefit from her great ideas. Thanks for your kind word mrs. Ellis j. Sobol 3000 s. Detroit Way Denver Colo. 80210congressional probe sought of High Kosher meat prices editor Post and opinion that this hearing extend to the dear senator fully urge that you include in i have been involved in i have read your editorial Kosher food Industry we would i have read with interest in your investigation this specific Ashrut for Many years and concerning the Ashrut probe accomplish much More than an our local newspaper of your area. Feel that there is More than As suggested by Temple Ajodah emotional catharsis before current investigation into the this Complete investigation is herring that smells in Oceanside. Passover and Rosh has Honah. Meat Industry and of possible Long overdue. For All sections i and i am sure Many others rabbi . Sparer inks with the mafia of the country have experienced would appreciate a Complete i am enclosing a letter that a As an orthodox rabbi vitally trouble Over the years. And honest investigation into i have sent to senator 557 33rd ave. Concerned with Ashrut and the unfortunately people Are in this vital area that effects a Magnuson who is in the process san Francisco Calif. 94121 Kosher consuming Public and lined to blame rabbis who give Basic Tenet of our Faith. It is of conducting an investigation in Light of the fact that these endorsements not realizing that time that we exhibit some of the meat Industry. The letter honorable Warren Magnuson meats and foods have the supervising rabbi has muscle to those nefarious is self explanatory. Perhaps if Senate office building dramatically risen these last nothing to do with the setting wholesalers and retailers you and others would request Washington . Dozen years i would respect of prices. Rabbi . Spare letter from jews for Jesus should not have been printed editor Post and opinion in your Issue of August 4, you published a an open letter to a rabbi from one of the jews for Jesus a signed a Moishe the average intelligent Reader of your weekly will regard the strange questions propounded by a Moi she As a Crafty form of missionary propaganda at no Cost. You have fallen for it in keeping with your Long established custom of printing All sorts of a a sensational stuff such As preach ments by ignorant men who declare themselves As a a atheist rabbis or an a belie Zero playing the part of a Prophet walking the streets of Jerusalem denouncing the sins of his people and predicting their chastening on the Day of atonement. Nevertheless the missionary letter in question requires the following response which i Hope you will publish without delay. The term mesh mad signifies a deserter who has forsaken the jewish people by adopting the belief that Jesus was a Messiah or a god. It is Felt that the mesh mad has changed his religion for selfish purposes and not from conviction or self Protection. An eighteenth Century non jewish Champion of jewish emancipation wrote a what person will not despise the vile being who forsakes the religion of his youth Abandons his Kindred and people and desecrated another Faith by externally observing its rite while internally being unconvinced of its divine institution a Many Reshum Maxim in order to avoid being confused with their former fellow jews developed a super Zeal for their new religion which they expressed in fanatical hatred of Judaism. They were responsible for the compulsory Public disputations in the Middle Ages resulting in dire consequences to the jewish people if the arguments in favor of Judaism proved to be too convincing to the enraged neighbors. The burning of jewish books the forcible baptism of jewish children the Hunting Down and then executing innumerable crypt jews or Marrano were some of the activities urged by the zealous Reshum Maxim who served As spies and informers during the medieval period perhaps in order to remove All suspicion from themselves. A mesh mad by the name of Peter Schwartz spread the blood libel or ritual murder accusation charging that the jews used human blood for the preparation of matzoh and in the four cups of wine used in the passover seder service. This libel flared up repeatedly in fourteen european countries. From 1144 to 1940 there were 152 cases. The notorious mesh mad John Pfefferkorn of the sixteenth Century insisted that All the jews be either expelled from Germany or employed As Street cleaners and Chimney sweeps that every copy of the talmud and All rabbinical books should be taken away from the jews and that every jewish House be ransacked for this purpose. The a new to oks mesh mad of our time in this free land of Jehovah witnesses and some 300 other Christian denominations is completely ignorant of the Rich jewish heritage and tradition to the extent that he could argue his ease with a leaned rabbi. Or else he is a mercenary Rascal who derives illicit profit from preaching a Messiah that normally informed jews could never accept. Or. Rosenus letter reveals a new missionary tactic consisting of an attempt to penetrate into the jewish fold through intermarriage wit i former fellow jews. That letter of Moishe Rosen is indicative of a new trend of missionary work among ignorant jews or freaks which should not be encouraged by the jewish press. Or.
