THE JEWISH POST AND OPINION

Egyptian Planes Stay In Hangars

Invited To White House Dinner

Exclusive Guest List

JERUSALEM — The continued and unopposed Israeli air raids over Egypt are accomplishing their military objectives, but what may be just as important if not more so is the propaganda and political value of the forays. Day after day, Israeli planes have invaded Egyptian air space, flying almost over the identical areas, and no Egyptian planes have risen to repulse them. THE MESSAGE is being received, not only in Cairo, but in other capitals, Moscow not expected.

Whether this new air offensive was responsible for the concession by Egypt that she will accept peace talks similar to those .which brought on the armistice in the 1948 War of Liberation, a concession which was later denied, cannot be known, but there could be a connection. THE CLAIM by Egypt Sunday that her commandos in force had invaded the Sinai Peninsula for 50 miles to cause death and destruction to a new Israeli settlement was vigorously denied by Israel, which offered to take newsmen to the area for an on the spot survey.

Arab Propagandist Caught In Deception

WASHINGTON, D.C. — How Arab propagandists resort to outright deception when they are unable to convince by reliance on fact was amply displayed in an article by a writer for the Institute for Palestine studies. the writer, Samil Hadawi, used 1,300 words in The Beirut Daily Star to prove that Israel deliberately set fire to the A1 Aksa mosque. HE QUOTED FROM Time Magazine of June 30, 1967, to clinch his arguments. The quotation read: “The Temple must be reconstructed on its original site; this could only be done by demolishing Islam's sacred Dome of the Rock (A1 Alksa mosque)”. Writers for the Near East Report which is the house organ of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee, checked the original quotation in Time and discovered the remarkable facility which Arab propagandists resort to outright deception. THE ARTICLE in Time gave all the reasons why Israel is not likely to restore the Temple. Time said that restoration of the Temple would have to wait until the advent of the Messiah and that Jewish theology presents several other obstacles to its construction. It referred to the difficulty of deciding who were the authentic priests and the modern-day aversion to animal sacrifice. Then it went on to say: >. “An even greater obstacle is

that the Temple must be constructed on its original site; this could only be done by demolishing Islam’s sacred Dome of the Rock . . . Despite their enmity with Arab nations, devout Jews would be reluctant to destroy the shrine of another faith.” Etrogim, Lulavin Sent To Russia MONTREAL — The Canadian Jewish Congress, following the practice of previous years, sent a supply of Etrogim and Lulavin to Chief Rabbi Yehudah Leib Levin, of Moscow. The Congress also has completed plans for youth demonstrations throughout Canada on Simchat Torah expressing solidarity with Jews in the Soviet Union. The local demonstration will be held outside the USSR Consulate. Jews In Banking In Big Increase PHILADELPHIA - In the past ten years, the number of Jews hOiding bank directorships has increased six fold, and the number of Jewish bank officers three fold. Steven H. Appelbaum, lecturer on human-in-dustrial relations at Temple University, prepared the survey for the American Jewish Committee * and the Philadelphia Jewish Employment and Vocational Service.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The official State Dinner for visiting Prime Minister of Israel Golda Meir was not exactly a who’s who of U.S. Jewry, but it did include most of the heads of important national Jewish organizations, and of course the leading Jews both in Congress and in the Administration. If you weren’t invited, there may be some consolation, but it will have to be admitted that the list is a fairly select one. . In alphabetical order it included, without their titles in Jewish and general life: Mr. and Mrs. Morris B. Abram, Waltham. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Adelman, Milwaukee. Mr. and Mrs. Bernard H. Barnett, Louisville. Leonard Bernstein and sister Shirley. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Blaustein. Louis H. Boyar, Beverly Hills. Mr. and Mrs. Victor Carter, Beverly Hills. Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Cummings, Beverly Hills. Mr. and Mrs. Max Fisher, Detroit. Mr. and Mrs. William J. Feldstein, Milwaukee. Mr. and Mrs. Irving Felt, New York. Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Fixman, Creve Couer, Mo. Mr. and Mrs. Louis J. Fox, Baltimore.. Edward Ginsberg, Cleveland. Mr. and Mrs. David Ginsberg, Washington. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Goldberg, New York. Mr. and Mrs. Philip Hoffman, So. Orange, N.J. Mr. and Mrs. I. L. Kenan, Alexandria, Va. Mr. and Mrs. Bernard J. Lasker, New York. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Marx, Jr., Purchase, N.Y. Sylvan Oestreicher, New York. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Reznickoff, New York. Rabbi and Mrs. Herschel Schachter, New York. Rabbi and Mrs. Max Schenk, New York. Mr. and Mrs. Menachem Meir, Mew Haven. Mrs. Clara Stern, Bridgeport, Conn. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Schulman, Beverly Hills. Mr. and Mrs. Is, ac Stern, New York. Mr. and Mrs. Jacques Torczyner, New York. Dr. and Mrs. William Wexler, Savannah. The Jewish members of Congress and the Administration family who were present were Henry A. Kissinger, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur F. Burns, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Javits, Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Ribicoff, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Farbsteiri, Mr. and Mrs. Seymour Halpern, Mr. and Mrs.

Sidney Yates, and Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Garment. The Jewish guests were well over half of the approximately 150 who were present. The others were the Vice President, Cabinet Members, Congressmen, Supreme Court Justices, and other top officials. The meal was not kosher. The entrees were filet of sole and Chateau-briand. At a reception in the East Ballroom of the White House which followed the dinner, another 100 were present, largely Jewish also. It cannot be known what other Jewish leaders were invited but

were unable to attend. But missing from the list, which included the presidents of the American Jewish Committee, the B’nai B’rith, the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds, was Rabbi Arthur Lelyveld of the American Jewish Congress. Of the two rabbis present, one is president of a non-rabbinical national Jewish body, and the other’s wife is Hadassah president. No head of a rabbinical, organization was present. Mrs. Meir’s son, of New Haven, and his wife were present, as also her sister of Bridgeport, Conn.

NEW YORK — A strong voice in opposition to interfaith dialogues has come from the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Taking up the question on two levels, the head of the best known Hassidic movement first pointed out in his “Thought of the Week,” that such dialogues “evoke an impulse of rivalry and the desire to score a point or gain a victory over the opponent by any means.” CONSEQUENTLY, he asserted, “if the purpose of the ‘dialogue’ is a rapproachement, it is doomed from the start, and often even brings the opposite results.” He added that “where one party to the dialogue is committed to proselytizing and the other is not, it is clear that the dialogue

will be used by the first to accomplish its purpose ...” On the second level the Rebbe, Menachem M. Schneerson, quoted the prohibition imposed by the Torah against the study of other religions, except in very specific cases and by specially qualified individuals ...” HE ALSO POINTED out that “in any dialogue or debate, the victory often goes not to the proponent of the truth, but to the one who is more skilled in dialectic and oratory.” He scorned the argument that rejection of religious dialogues or the prohibition of the study of religions indicates an asknowledgement of weakness, G-d forbid, on the part of the Torah vis-a-vis other religions.”
