ISRAEL REMEMBERS
Although all others who felt Jeru-

ion had forgotten the city. Israel had
not. In his report to the U. N., from
which the material given above was
taken, Aubrey E. Eban, Israels perma-
nent delegates to the U. N. reported
that on the road to Jerusalem today
one can still see the ambushed and
burned trucks, lorries, and cars. Ming-
led with their ashes are those of the
youth of Israel, who fell by the hun-
dreds to save Jerusalem from famine
and surrender to destruction.

ARABS REFUSE. ,-----
The Arab States refused to partic-
ipate in the discussion of the U. N.
Trusteeship, labeled it “illegal” and on
May 15, within a few weeks after the
passage of the statute, the Arabs
opened fire on Jerusalem, with the
avowed intent of incorporating it into
a Arab Moslem regime. The bom-
bardment was made in an attempt to
devastate the city, holy places and all.
By June, starvation and thirst took
hold of the city; bombardment and
pestilence took its toll. Water was
being doled out by measure from
carts, barely enough to maintain life.
A handful of barley and beans—an
average diet of 800 calories a day—
was all the food available. The holy
places were under fire, corpses lay
piled unburied since there was no
access to the cemetery.
All this time the Security Council
was in constant session. To it came
appeals for the rescue of this city,
for which the U. N. had accepted re-

By ABRAHAM J. BRACHMAN
Some like to consider Yehuda Halevi the founder of the concept of
Judaism as history and the Jewish religion as a historical religion. If
this only means that we believe in a God who directs history it is true
If it is merely terminology used in an age that prefers to speak in
terms of history rather than 'in the sentimental terms of theology it is
probably as good as any other terminology.
But if it means that the best religious views we can muster are
those of a personality-less history working out a destiny to which we
cannot appeal then it is not in accord with Jewish thought and it is not
in accord with Yehuda Halevi’s views. For Yehuda Halevi was one
philosopher who criticized philosophy as failing to be the ultimate means
for mankind to reach truth. He believed that the tradition descended
from the divine inspiration of the patriarchs and from the revelation
on Sinai was the bearer of mans deepest intellectual current, the concern
convention of Senior Young Judaea at
Emma Kaufman Camp near here
celebrated the 40th anniversary of the
establishment of the organization.
The three-day parley, which ended
last night, received a message from
Senior Young Judaea's former presi-
dent, Ted Hollander, who is now in
Israel, declaring that American Zion-
ist youth’ must “not assume that its
responsibilities toward Israel and the
Jewish people have ended.”

U. N. Commission
Recommends Division
Of Jerusalem
LAUSANNE, (JTA) — The U. N.
Conciliation Commission will recom-
members of the Jewish people, just that is the Jewish people compared I
to other peoples. It is the prophetic people. It has the devine message I
from ' God through the devine inspiration of the patriarchs and through I
the revelation on Sinai, Truth to the rest of mankind is imparted through I
this prophetic people.
The land of Palestine is holy above Other lands and the Jewish |
people is related to it through its holiness. The land of Palestine is as I
the heart to the rest of the world and the Jewish people is as the heart I
to the rest of mankind. The ancient Jewish ritual code of religion in- I
culcates as a code of ethics which the Jew naturally imbibes from his I
religion. As he practices his religion the Jew is concerned with divine I
activity most of his day, lives a life devoted to religious practice which I
accompanies most of his pursuits. i
It is these concepts that lift Yehuda Halevis philosophy higher than I
that of most historical philosophers. The latter tend to set historical force I
up as the arbiter of the universe. History tends to become blind, mech- I
anical or demonic. All things become involved in history, but help- I
lessly so. Only a living God can rescue the world and humanity from such I
blind force. It is a good example showing that process does not mean I
the same divinity or force the same as God, an error into which we are |
in the habit of falling. *———fasgmnzasBieaisazdm**-t*meg* |
Yet a study of Yehuda Halevi alone would hardly suffice for the j
student of today. No student of today could accept his concepts of racial I
superiority. Likewise his views on the sanctity of Palestine could not be I
dealt with as valid per se. The path to an acceptance of Yehuda Halevi I
would be via his belief in revelation and the communion of the patri- l
archs with God. A methaphysical interpretation that found room for I
these mystical views of divine revelation and communion could th® I
perhaps proceed to find room for mystical super-sancity of the soil o I
Palestine and mystical super-phophetism of the people Israel. The Torah I
itself might stand as the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by I
night over this methaphysical venture.

sponsibility. The Trusteeship Council
made no move--it was evident that
the Council would not take the mil-
itary steps necessary to carry out its
obligations. The appeals of the Jew-
ish community to the U. N. to carry
out its pledges were wasted efforts.
Eventually the Statute of Jerusalem
was referred back to the General As-
sembly and there buried, references
to it being studiously avoided.
TRUCE VIOLATED.
The right to destroy Jerusalem was
officially claimed by the Arabs as a
legitimate action of war. They would
hear of no truce to lift the brutal seige
hence when a truce was arranged for
Palestine, the seige of Jerusalem con-
tinued during the truce.
Within gun range of the Arab forc-
es, the Haganah built a small road
to Jerusalem. Running the gauntlet
of shell-fire and ambush, food was
convoyed to the stricken city. On the
trucks of the first large convoy to

cuss a U. N. trusteeship!
It is not hard, then, to understand
why Israel, although approving an
international regime for the holy
places and urging their protection by
the U. N., felt that Jerusalem, as a
city, should rely on Israel for its gov-
ernment. For Israel is prepared to
protect Jerusalem as she did in those
horrible days when the rest of the
world forgot.
