each of two arson counts if convicted. He is charged with setting fire to El Akia mosque in Jerusalem and for an alleged abortive attempt 10 days earlier to set the Islamic shrine ablaze.
Many of Israers Arab leaders and notables have deplored, the incitement of Arab leaders all over the world against Israel. East Jerusalem Arabs held a partial peaceful strike to mark a week since the El Aksa was severely biurned. Most shops and coffee houses were closed but food stores, transportation and other public services functioned normally. There were no incidents.
There were no strjkes in West Bank towiis despite calls for thera broadcast from Arab capi-
tals.:;-
Israeli commandos mean-wbile penetrated deep into Egypt and. battered an Egyptian Anny headquarters vbase with. powerful short range Israeli-made weapons. AU ^ raelis were reported safely back to base after the attack which took place 200 miles south of Cako on the Nile
River and about the same distance trom the Aswan High Dam.
Observers said it was intended as a further demonstration of Israel's ability to hit at will targets deep inside Egypt. They ^aid the demonstration was considered necessary in light of Egyptian incitement for a Moslem holy war against Israel for the El Aksa burning. It was also presumably a warning to Arab League foreign ministers who held an emergency session in Cairo last Monday to plan an Arab states war conference.
Soon after the fire broke out in El Aksa Mosque. ^ on Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem on Aug. 21, Arab and Moslem leaders the world over incited Arabs everywhere to violence, several Moslem leaders calling for "Jihad" (holy war) against Israel. In the miclst of all this incitement, Israel expr^ed its profound regret and sorrow and sadness at the fire which destroyed part of the mosque^ one of the holiest to Islam,

As The Bulletin went to press this week the International Federation of Airline Pilots Associations was still awaiting action from Syria to release two Israelis held following hijacking of a TV/A plane by Palestina guerrillas. Held as hostages are Prof. Shmuel Samueioff, 48, of Hadiissah Medical School and Saleh Moualem, 42, a travel agency employee.
Thfe Association served ^notice that it will call a 24'-hour world strike of its 40,000 members to follow 15 days from this , Monday, Sept. 8, if Syria fails to co-operate with its request. It also appealed to the U.N. for action over the Trans World Airlines plane hijacking.
The International Civil Aviation Organization's committee on unlawful interference with civil aviation, located in Montreal, has asked the Syrian government to dispatch full information on the incident including action taken against the two hijackers, Leila Khaied and Saliin Issawi.
One Vancouver passenger aboard the TWA flight, Dr. Robert Krell, 29, spoke to his family here from Athens last weekend, repoirtiiig that he had been well treated and that there was nothings tp^^^^ w^ about. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Ijeo Krell. he had been enroute to a three-week holiday in Israel when the hijacking occurred.
Dr. Krell, who is in last year in residence at UBC in child psychiatry, was scheduled to continue to Tel Aviv last Sunday.

Create a ^^new Judaism^' with deep, personal involvement
NEW YORK — A Yale University graduate has reported that a "new Judaism" which is "activist-oriented and communal, rather than middle-class and congregational," is being created in many parts of the United States by young American Jews disenchanted' with the Jewish "Establishment" but determined to find life-styles within a Jewish framework.
The report was made by James A. Sleeper, in an article, in the current issue of "Conservative Judaism", published by the Rabbinical Assembly, the association of Conservative rabbis, and the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, the Conservative school. The report is believed to be the first in an official publication of a major Establishment organization on the growing number of efforts by such young Jews to create their own groups, some of them religiously-grounded, some entirely secular but all repudiating ties to
the organized Jewish community. ^-
MR. SLEEPER, who himself is one of the Jewish activists, said the widespread discontent and experimentation among American cellege activists in search of new life-styles as adults has not found its way into the Jewish commimity because '*thus far Judaism offers no help wlhatsoever to young people struggling along the new frontier of human relations and self-development."
He declared that "if we use the term 'rabbi' in its best sense as 'teacher*, then it is perhaps Rabbi Eugene McCarthy, Rabbi Herbert Marcuse and Rabbi WiUiam Sloane Coffin, who guide the young most effectively, and even they not very well; young people have had to find new directions for themselves. If we speak of prayer and its goals, then rock and other music has replaced liturgy and text; the expierimental basis and gut feeling of the maxim 'love thy neighbor as thyself'
may be generated more effectively for youth by a Jefferson Airplane love song. If we speak of priorities, it is the Cathedral of St. John the Divine— and not the modern synagogue — which decided to leave its million-dollar bell tower uncompleted, scaffolding and all, as a symbol of the anguish of the .slums, and which proceeded to convert its status dollars into soul-saving dollars,"
He asserted that college students were disillusioned with college but "they stay in college and struggle for reform there because college has potential and is crucial for societal change" and they protest "in the political arena because America is full of potential and is crucial for the future of man. But when it comes to the Jewish community, they shrug their shoulders and walk away*' because that community has become so identified (Continued on Page 6) See DISENCHANTED YOUNGSTERS
