Abraham Too Jewish The New York Times comes in for some chiding on its sensitivity of being owned by Jews and its resultant negative approach to its Jewish reporters in a book review appearing in The Wall Street Journal of Gay Talese’s biography of a newspaper: The Power & The Glory.

Of Technicians HAIFA — With only 12 graduates annually from the Technion’s Food Technology Department, Israel falls behind more and more each year in providing for her needs of food techn o 1 o g i s t s and engineers. Twenty-four are required by the burgeoning food-processing industry as it becomes more sophisticated and quality-con-

scious.

The competition for the small number of graduates includes not only food-processing plants. Graduates also are sought after by the rapidly growing fermentation industry, for waterresources development and for the field of waste disposal.

En Kelohenu is actually an old German song, and the well-known Chanukah hymn, Moaz Tzur (Rock of Ages), has its origin in a popular chorale by Martin Luther. With the exception of the oldest Hebrew melodies such as the ancient Yisgadal, Shema, Geshem, and the cantillation of the Bible, no Hebrew song -can be considered traditional in the true sense of the word. Thus, music may be identified as Jewish if it contains Biblical cantillation or any of the prayer motifs. As regards general music, music written by a Jew is not necessarily Jewish. Music written on a Jewish theme, but by a non-Jewish composer is not Jewish. The well-known oratorios Judas Maccabaeus and Israel In Egypt

certainly have Jewish themes, but the music is that of Handel. t*!? a tmt r* Music, written by a Jew and having a Jewish theme may or GET CAMP tkainhnu may not be Jewish.
