Wisconsin were held Tuesday, at the Weiss funeral home. Burial was Orthodox Soldier on Refusal to Serve in Army WASHINGTON (JTA) Rabbi Jacob Weinstein, president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, said that he has started action to support the rights of Pvt. Robert Levy, an Orthodox Jewish soldier confined by the Army in a mental ward because he sought to conscientiously object to military service in Viet Nam on a basis of Jewish convictions. Army authorities said that US Army chaplain Martin Feinsod, an Orthodox rabbi, agreed with the decision to commit Levy. They said the chaplain was the only clergyman granted visiting privileges and was seeking to bring Levy's religious thinking into conformity with Army requirements.

Rabbi Weinstein challenged "the self-assumed right of an Orthodox chaplain to arbitrarily rule out conscientious objection by a soldier of Jewish faith." He indicated that steps were being taken to have a rabbi other than Chaplain Feinsod visit Madigan General Hospital, Taco-ma, to give Levy religious counsel in response to Levy's request. Reliable sources in Seattle have revealed that Levy sought to pray and fast in a Seattle synagogue but was ejected on grounds that his presence might embarrass the congregation. He was locked up in the Army psychiatric facility, an Army spokesman said, after Chaplain Feinsod told authorities he did not consider Levy's conscientious objection and fasting to be acceptable behavior in the Orthodox interpretation.

Ben-Gurion said: "If it had not been for wholesale persecution and murder and assimilation, there would have been more than 100,000,000 Jews in the world today, instead of 13,000,000." He added that "if you do not teach your children the Bible, I doubt whether Judaism or the Jewish people will survive. It is the Bible that has kept us alive all these centuries and it is the Bible that holds the greatest hope for our survival in the future." Lauded by Dr. Schwartz In his address of tribute to Mr. Ben-Gurion, Dr. Schwartz drew a parallel between the former Prime Minister's life and the entire history of the Jews during the past 80 years.

Through his magazine and his books, Leeser sought tirelessly to reach even the most isolated Jews and to make Jewish knowledge available to all. Leeser's dream of Maimonides College proved to be rich in disappointment. When the School opened in the fall of 1867, it was immediately beset with problems. Finances were far harder to come by than Leeser had hoped, nor eit fussy about According to a statement in its most recent catalogue, the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion is "the first successful rabbinic school in America." However, while the College-Institute, founded in 1875, is the oldest permanent school of its type in the country, Maimonides College, founded just 100 years ago in Philadelphia by Isaac Leeser, actually represents the first attempt to establish an American Jewish Theological seminary.

Organizational troubles smothered Leeser's pioneering effort, and by 1873 the lights of Maimonides College had gone out. Still, through his attempt, Leeser had paved the way for the Hebrew Union College, which, under the guidance of Isaac M. Wise, would shortly become, in 1875, the first lasting American Jewish theological seminary.

AN OPEN LETTER TO MILWAUKEE JEWRY a life of vigorous service to American Jewry, Isaac Leeser, hazzan of Philadelphia's Beth-El Emeth Congregation, began to devote his last energies to the creation of an American Jewish theological seminary.

The school was to be called Maimonides College, and Leeser, who had worked so hard and with such ingenuity to build an affirmative Jewish life in the United States, was to be its provost.

Arab Infiltrators Active On Israeli Borders TEL AVIV (JTA) Arab infiltrators and saboteurs stepped up their activities on three of Israel's borders near Syria, Jordan and Lebanon.

The most serious of the incidents took place about 630 yards from the Syrian border, when a tractor being driven toward Kibbutz Shamir hit a mine, seriously wounding the Israeli driver. The site of the blast was near the don't be fooled Cby the size on claims of others Syrian gun post of Darbashiya.

Pope Dear Friend: The Rabbi Scheinfeld Moath Hitim Fund and the Milwaukee Hebrew Sheltering Home, has merged into one organization. The reason for merging into one, is that each one helps the needy and therefore there is no need for two separate organizations. The Moath Hitim Fund was founded by Milwaukee's beloved Rabbi Scheinfeld in 1909. Its purpose was to provide Passover matzohs and foods to the needy Jewish families in Milwaukee. Now in its 58th year, the Fund has become an annual project.

Its original purpose has been and still is meticulously observed "No Jew shall be without Passover foods." Now, however, it also provides food for other Jewish holidays to the needy and sick and to the Jewish patients in County institutions and Convalescent Hospitals. In 1966 the Fund distributed 2,500 hot holiday meals, specially prepared in a Kosher kitchen to members of this group. As you know, the Milwaukee Hebrew Sheltering Home has been a home away from home for our fellow Jews who have had occasion to come to Milwaukee. Here at the "Home" these travelers are given kosher food and lodging during their brief stopover. Most of these travelers are not able to afford the cost of food and lodging.

Every major city in the United States has a Hebrew Sheltering Home. Ours in Milwaukee is more than sixty years old. We are proud of its history and hope that it will be able to continue for many years to come. Certainly, we wouldn't want to turn our backs on fellow Jews who find it necessary to' use the facilities provided by the "Home." The Rabbi Scheinfeld Moath Hitim Fund as well as the Milwaukee Hebrew Sheltering Home, is wholly supported by voluntary contributions from the Jewish Community. The services performed by the dedicated members of this group are gratis and often represent a demand on their time and a drain on their purse.

We welcome any contribution regardless of size. It is a mitzvah for you and a source of happiness and joy to our unfortunate, and needy brethren.
