SOUTH AFRICAN JEWS SILENT ON APARTHEID

NEW YORK (P-O) — The organized Jewish community and congregations in Johannesburg and Capetown speaking out on the ugly anti-Negro outbreaks, a rabbi who was forced to leave

South Africa said.

Johannesburg and Capetown Jews evade the issue in fear of reprisals from their fellow whites, and a rabbi who has the guts to speak out in protest is forced to leave. Rabbi Andrew Unger stated. Unger, associate of Dr. Joachim Prinz of B’nai Jeshurun of Ne-

wark. stated in an article in Re constructionist magazine, that the South African Jews, apart from quite insignificant variations, conforms with the general white man’s pattern of reducing the non-whites to a less-than-human

existence.

Unger was forced by the South African government to leave the country when he spoke out on the pulpit of Temple Israel, Port Elizabeth, in 1955 against the apartheid policy and attempted to show friendship towards Neg-

roes.

South African Jewish Life Goes Blissfully On Despite Violence

JOHANNESBURG (P-O) — Jewish communal life is preceding normally in South Africa despite the bitter strife that has wracked the country. Prayers for peace and a reduction of tension were offered in all South African synagogues.

volved in political issues. Rabbi Kossowsky reflected the thinking of most of South Africa’s lay Jewish leaders who challenged the resolutions of Jewish groups in other countries criticizing apartheid. South African rabbinical and lay leaders stated that the racial was not a “Jewish issue” and that Jews abroad, like South African Jews should not speak collectively as Jewish groups on the conflict.

Abby Says Inter-Dating Is Playing With Fire

One of the most interesting chapters in Abigail Van Buren’s book “Dear Teen-Ager” is “Should I Date Out of My Faith?” She admonishes that “toying with Faith is toying with Fate,” and she declares: “Many parents object when their children date outside theii own faith. Junior’s rebuttal, of course, is either ‘This is a democracy!’ or ‘How prejudiced can you get!' And Junior would be right — if this were merely a dating problem. But it isn’t. It’s a MARRIAGE problem! . . . “THE GUY or gal you date may be the guy or doll you’ll fall in love with and want to marry. Dating' definitely is courtship Many little schoolhouse romances can blaze into a five-alarm fire So when teen-agers say, ‘Bur Mother, I’m not going to marry him,’ a parent often replies, Til tell the world you aren’t! And to make sure, you’re not going to date him, either!’ ” At this point Abby poses the question: “What’s so terrible about marrying outside your faith?” She proceeds to say that “statistics prove that most mixed marriages don’t work out . . . “A DIFFERENCE in faith, no matter how torrid a romance may be at the beginning, eventually may loom up as an insurmountable barrier between married couples. The saying, ‘The family that prays together, stays together.’ is more than a corny bromide . . When it comes to inter-faith dating, be sensible. Or would you rather be sorry . . .” She quotes from a letter, “Sorry Now,” to prove her point. She concludes with the advice“LET ME say here that I am not talking about 14-year-old
