Busy Rabbi

Nobody can say that Rabbi Paul E. Schuchalter, of Congregation Shaarey Tfiloh, Glens Falls, N.Y., was loafing on the job during the past three weeks. The congregation showed its appreciation for Rabbi Schuchalter’s leadership during the past seven years by voting him a new contract. Meanwhile, he was installed as president of the Glens Falls district of the Zionist Organization of America, and during the annual convention June 22 of the graduates of the Lavne Hebrew Theological Seminary,

Israeli Defense Minister David Brooklyn, he was elected presi-

dent of the Rabbinical Council

of America.

A full house is virtually assured for a luncheon to be held at the Haifa technion this month and it won’t be because the menu is to be prepared by Oscar of the Waldorf. A perfectly cogent reason is that the munchers will have the pleasure of being addressed by Actress Marlene Dietrich, who is famed not only for her husky voice and lovely legs, but whose hatred of the Nazis and work for the Allied cause won the hearts of many Jews during the holocaust of World War II. Miss Dietrich was invited address the luncheon after she turned down an invitation to attend the recent London premiere of the film, “The Life f>f Richard Tauber,’’ in aid of the Federation of Jewish Relief Societies because it was made In Germany with German actors.

The Crusher

Be*i-Gurion recently was transfixed by a perfect squelch loosed by Knesset member Shalom Zussman. The former Israeli prime minister told a mass meeting of Oriental Jews that “The patriarch Abraham was an Iraqi.” Zussman, a General Zionist, countered: “I don’t know whether Abraham was an Iraqi or a Yemenite. But I’m certain of one thing—he was not a mem-

ber of Mapai.”

New York City, Jewish Group Hit By RAA SPRING VALLEY, N.Y. (JP) —The Rabbinical Alliance of America has lashed out at the City of New York and the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds for discriminating by not recognizing extreme Orthodox schools and agencies. The attack was made at the 13th annual convention of the Rabbinical Alliance here this week. The City of New York was asked to recognize the Joint Chaplaincy Board (composed of the Rabbinical Alliance, the Union of Orthodox Rabbis and the latter’s Rabbinical Board of New York) as an independent recommending agency for the city post of chaplain. The Board’s status was rescinded when New York recognized only the New York Board of Rabbis. Possibilities of a merger with the Rabbinical Council of America (Orthodox) were washed away when the rabbis voted to merge only on a slow evolutionary basis. Other Resolutions passed by the convention called for recognition of the Torah Umesorah (National Hebrew Day Schools) right to issue licenses to teachers and principals of Talmud Torahs and for the cancellation of subscriptions to Anglo-Jewish and Yiddish papers continuing to accept advertisements of nonkosher products after being warned not to do so.

JERUSALEM HEBREW PAPER HITS BAR ILAN UNIVERSITY By SHLOMO ITZHAKI Jewish Post Correspondent TEL AVIV (JP)—Israel’s largest newspaper, MAARIV, in ^ violent editorial, has attacked Bar Han university as being unnecessary and as draining funds which could better be used to improve and expand existing institutions. The editorial charged that while the Hebrew university of Jerusalem presently is undergo-

ing a serious crisis with its instructors having been compelled to strike because of inadequate salaries, at least $1 million has been invested in the construction of the new university, with $5 million more to be raised in the near future. Dr. Azriel Karlebach, who wrote the editorial, said that the money could better have been used to strengthen the Hebrew university and other needy institutions. MAARIV ASSERTED that very few in Israel understand exactly what is meant by “religious university,” a term often applied to Bar Han university. Is there such a thing as religious mathematics, or religious agriculture, or religious medicine, the edjtoral asked. The paper asserted that Israel at present does not possess even one complete university because of the lack of funds. “If the religious think that they must have their ow*n university then other parties will too,” MAARIV said, expressing the fear that Bar Ilan would start a trend toward similar institutions. Dr. Karlebaeh severely criticized the sponsors of Bar Ilan, which is scheduled to open its doors this fall, for having given its first honorary degree already, and that to a Christian, Mayor Robert Wagner of New York. He wondered whether it was proper for an institution still to receive its first student to hand out honorary degrees, and whether giving such a degree to a non-Jew would be in line with Bar Ban's stated purpose of wishing “to represent the religious Jewish tradition.” “POOR TOURIST,” Dr. Karle4» bach wrote of Mayor Wagner, “immediately after he was taken to the competition he was shown the abandoned, solitary buildings of the Jerusalem university.” MAARIV concluded by assaulting the Israel government for having failed so far to adopt a law requiring the minimal requirements for the establishment |

of an academic Institution in Israel. The government must first assure the existence of the Jerusalem university, of the Tel Aviv High Schol for Law, of the Technion, of the Weizmann Institute, of the Kaplan High School for Economics, of the yeshivas and Talmud Torahs and rabbinical seminaries—a burden for many years—and only then, perhaps, it may be possible to discuss the question of a religious university, Dr. Karlebach declared.

RELATIONS ANTICIPATED BONN — The establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and Germany is now only a question of months, diplomatic circles here anticipate.
