...brief letter by Nasser [Nov. 28], in which he expresses his "admiration for the article dealing with the Egyptian revolution." In the same issue you publish an anti-American-Jewish piece by William Zukerman [JUDGMENTS & PROPHECIES]. Let TIME and Zukerman note that I and a vast number of American Jews are not Zionists, or particularly favorable toward Zionism, but we feel bitterly that Israel is getting a raw deal. Jew or no Jew, in the great American tradition, I am for the underdog...
Hill 24 Doesn't Answer (Sikor; Continental) because its four defenders are dead. Produced in Israel, the film keeps its flag-waving to a commendable minimum while giving a kaleidoscopic record of the savage fighting between Jew and Arab in the 1948 war.

"The orthodox Jew could conceivably enter the arena with the Creed of Maimonides in one hand and the Shulchan Aruch [a codification of Jewish law] in the other. He could say to the prospective convert: 'Here is a new way of living. Take it!' And then the convert would really have taken something; he would not merely be moving from one 'branch' of universal religion to another...
...Argue With. A better blueprint for a Jewish mission to modern man, Petuchowski suggests, would begin with the meaning of Jewish history. "What is there in the heritage of Judaism that has enabled the Jew to retain his spiritual and emotional equilibrium under the most adverse conditions?" In this, Petuchowski thinks, non-Jews could find much...
