Council Rejects >Vigilantes
The major nationalJewlsh rabbinic and synagogal agen¬ cies, have rejected "calls to vlolericiB and vigilantism eiiiaiiating firom varloiis 'qjiarters, tacludhig a small and; uiire^esentative s^- ihent of the Jewish eom- mimity," it was announced hy Rabbi Solomon J. Sharf¬ man, president ofthe Syna¬ gogue Council of America.
In a policy statement is¬ sued today by the Council, the religious bodies repre¬ senting the Conservative, Orthodox, and Reform bran¬ ches of American Jewty de¬ clared that "the lawlessness of vigilantes no more makes^^ for a defense of Jewish or other hiterests than the riot malces for the rectification of social injustices."
The Council^ statement recalled that onj^Frecently it rejected the dettmndsandthe tactics of the "Blaclt Mani¬ festo" ofthe Blacic Economic Development Conference.
"The basis of that rejec¬ tion was our conviction 'fliat even in pursuit of desirable ends, violence does not con¬ tribute to the fashioning of a better society; violence only breeds more violence, and nourishes repression, not justice."
Rabbi Sharfman said that it is this same conviction that now-leads the Synagogue Council of America and its constituent agencies to re¬ ject calls to vigiiantism.
"The resolution of the in¬ justices that afflict Ameri¬ can society cannot be achieved by 'iH^lantism, nor by '^tir^iteglejijjOf - repres sion I«radinljj,fls law and order, nor by recourse to violence by those suffering from these hijustices^" the Synagogue Council's policy statement declared. "What is required is a. difficult but unavoid¬ able reordering of priori¬ ties and a restructuring of ours^iety: the Americani- zatioA, at last, of America."

PHILADELPHIA (JTA) - A group of black and white Jews fi-om the Philadelphia area met with representa¬ tives of the Ethiopian Mission to the United Nations hi New York last week in an attempt to organize aid for the Falashas, the black Jews of Ethiopia, whose ^ancient community faces extinction because of poor heJflth and^economlc conditions. Accordtag to the JewisirScpSnentTSi English-Jewish weekly published here, the group calls itself the Concerned Committee of Black and White JeWs of Philadelphia.
Their meeting with Tassew Makonnen, a member of the Ethiopian Mission, was intended to apprise the Ethiopian authorities of theb- concern for the future ofthe Falasha community. Mr. Makomen said he would .relay the essence of the meeting to his Government but was vague about what aid could be rendered the Falashas, the Exponentreported. The Falashas number about 25,000 and live in demote regions of Ethiopia. They are a remnant of the quarter million black Jews who flourished there untU the end of the 19th-Century.
TEL AVTV (JTA) — Forty-eight members of the United Jewish Appeal's young leadership missioti be¬ gan a 17-day fact-finding tour here. The group was addressed by Rabbi Herbert Friedman, UJA execiitive chairman, who told them it was theh- "responsibUiiy to arouse your home communities to the urgency ot financing the increased flow of immigration and to help fauUd Israel for the purpose for which it was estab¬ lished—to take in all Jews who need a home and to create a better life for them." The members of the mission will visit new immigrant centers and meet with Israel Government leadiers.

LUNAR TRIUMPH, HUMAN TRIUMPH
The ageless dream of mankind, conquering space, has been-manifested tato reality this week asthe fhrst men fi'om earth stepiied foot" onto the moon. Neil Armstrong and Buzz AUrin walked the lunar surface as mUIlons of earthlings viewed with awe.
The feat is a reconfirmation of the capabUities of human intelligence; a technological triijmph, an his¬ torical monument to those tayolved in the years of dedicated research. The Jewish community jotas the rest of the proud American community ta haUing Armstrong, Aldrta, and Mike ColUns for their flawless journey. We hope that the unraveled secrets of the moon will help unravel the secrets of our own world ^aai aid ta the development of programs to assuage the differing of countless people. The accomplishment, although noble ta its own right, is even more noble for its altruistic innuendos.
The realization of a dream taspires greater dreams, thus, the upward spiral of progress. "Ah, buta man's reach must exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?"

Success
TEL AVIV (JTA) — An Elgyptian commando raid on an Israeli miUtary posititm ta the Port Tewfik area last Thursday was the most suc¬ cessful stace the Six-Day War, a miUtary spokesman conceded. The toll rose to seven dead and two wounded. One missing soldier, Corp. David Sabashi, 20, of Lydda, .taken prisoner fay the Egyp¬ tians, died ta prison, his captors said today. Heavy damage was inflicted on the Egyptian town of Suez near Port Tewfik foUowing.nearly day-long exchanges of artU¬ lery, during which one Israeli was injured, tbe spokesman said.
He reported that two Is¬ raeli tanks Imd been dam¬ aged when the Egyptians crossed the Suez Canal at dusk under heavy artUlery cover and penetrated be¬ yond the edge of the water- v\ay. Port Tewfik is an Egyp¬ tian port and raiL<point at the tip of a prom^tory jut¬ ting out from Suez toward the ViUage of El Shatt just across the Canal. The 100- mUe-long waterway is a tew hundred yards wide at that potat,
Egypt claimed that its force kUled or wounded 40 Israelis, held the position for an hour, destroyed artil¬ lery emplacctnents and re- treated across the canal without suffering any cas¬ ualties. At the same time, the semi-official Cairo newspaper Al Ahram said ta an editorial that the tacrea¬ sing number of assaults were preparations for "larger operations" aimed at break¬ ing the "existingstalemate" and forcing the Israelis to withdraw from ,Sinai. Al Ahram said that the forays were pf "first-rahk Impor¬ tance," giving l-'.gypli.in troops
and enabling commanders to improve battlefield tactics. The Israeli milltajry spokesman said that the Egyptians blanketed the area with an tatenseartlUery bar¬ rage which served as a cover for an estimated 100 attack¬ ers who crossed the shaUow waters fay boat and reached a- jetty which was difficult to hold becaiise of its narrow width. He said there were several tanks onthejettyand that U was the tanks and not the Israeli position which was the target ofthe assault. The commandos got close to the tanks and attacked them /with  bazookas.
