Twenty-eight of those 31 candidates were elected or re-elected to six- year terms in the Senate, it was announced by Marvin Josephson, NatPAC's Treasurer^ NatPAC also backed 57 winners of House seats while 16 of the House candidates to whom it made contributions lost. NatPAC's policy was to make the maximum $5,000 contribution to each candidate. After the decision had been made by the Disbursement Committee, contributions were made only after a personal conversation with the candidate in which the origins, policies and purpose of NatPAC were explained. The candidates' response to NatPAC's position that 1 Israel is a very important strategic asset for the United States and the only reliable ally of the U.S. in that part of the world was, in every case, positive.

New Americans' B'nai Mitzvah Take Place At Torah Academy A special occasion was observed at the Columbus Torah Academy morning minyan on Thursday, Oct. 28. A large group of students, parents, teachers and board members joined in the celebration as two new American students, Kirill Novikov and Ilya Smhulevich, were called to the Torah for the first time. Singing, refreshments arid many wishes of "Maze! Tov" lent a festive air to the occasion.

Ellman, Campaign chairman. It is recommended that the Jews of Columbus increase their level of giving by 10 percent to meet the increased needs at home, in Israel and throughout the world. In addition, a 1983 Special "Peace for Galilee" Fund is being undertaken simultaneously to meet the needs of the added burdens imposed upon the Jewish Agency by the War in Lebanon. The Peace for Galilee Special Fund will be used to insure the perpetuation of humanitarian services and social programs for the people of Israel during these difficult economic times. The goal of the Special Fund is $1 million. In a statement issued by Robert E. Loup, national chairman of United Jewish Appeal, and Avraham Avi- Hai, world chairman of . Keren Hayesod, there was a call to the American Jewish people to be mindful of the fact that "the overwhelming majority of the Jewish people has stood by Israel in its just war to end terrorism in Record n Goal northern Israel, to. secure the safety of its people in town and villages. On our part we shall continue to express our moral support and our material participation in the people-building and life- saving efforts of the Jewish Agency for Israel." American students now enrolled at Columbus Torah Academy. They have gained proficiency in Hebrew subjects as well as in general academic studies since their arrival from Russia. Most of the new American students have been able to attain grade level achievement in both academic-areas, Hebrew and general academic subjects, within two years of arrival with the help of the many tutorial and support services *available'rto them "at Columbus Torah Academy. The Torah Academy shul service is held every day, with a regular minyan (religious quorum). The students conduct every aspect of the service. They act as "chazan" leader of the service, they read the Toi-ah, chant the Megillah at Purim and learn to blow the shofar for Rosh Hoshana. The shul. gives the students the opportunity to put into practice the (CONTINUED ON PAGE 5) WASHINGTON (JTA)~ Thirty three Jews were elected to Congress Nov. 2, four to the Senate and 29 to the House. Including the four Jewish Senators whose terms were not up this year, the 98th Congress which takes office in January will , have 37 Jews compared to 33 in the currentXtongress. The Senate victories included two incumbents who won their second terms, Sens. Howard Metzenbaum (D. Ohio) and Edward Zorin- sky (D. Neb.), and two newcomers, Frank Lautenberg (D. N.J.) and Chic Hecht (R. Nev,). The House victors included 22 incumbents and seven newcomers. The seat of one incumbent, Rep. Elliott Levitas (D. Ga.) will not be decided until Nov. 30 because of redistricting difficulties. Rep. Bob Shamansky (D. Ohio) was the only incumbent to be defeated. Another incumbent, Rep. Marc Marks (D. Pa.) did not seel^reeleetien-* after - three terms. The election, with Jews winning Senate seats for the first time in New Jersey and Nevada and House seats in Alabama and Virginia, demonstrated that'Jews can be elected on issues that have no immediate effect on the Jewish community, without their religion being a factor in the contest. Almost all the elections were based on the economic issue of support or rejection of the Reagan Administra- Sixth, Seventh Grade Students To Perform At Annual Torah Academy Dinner, Nov. 21 Sunday, Nov. 21 is the date of the 22nd annual Torah Academy Scholarship Dinner. ''■ ; The students of the sixth and seventh grade classes will precede Emil Cohen on the program. Every year, students from the upper grades perform an original skit at the Dinner. This year's skit is entitled "The Siddur." It was written by Ayie Shapiro, based on a work by Dir: Irving Fried, principal of Torah Academy, and is being directed by Carol Handler. The theme of the skit is the prayer book. The students will explain how the prayer book has been used through the centuries by the Jewish people as a bridge between man and G-d, ' The seventh grade students, including Jennifer Blank, Penina Caplan, Fabiana Herszaga, Mark Koffsky, Roman Komanov- sky, Marsha Kucherski, Kirill Novikov, Dlya Shmule- vich, Craig Tennenbaum and Daniel Weinstein, will do narratives of individual prayers.

This showed up in the victories of Lautenberg, a liberal, and Hecht, a conservative who had President Reagan campaigning for him last week. It also showed up in the elections of Ben Erdreich in Alabama, the grandson of one of Birmingham's first Jewish settlers, and of Norman Sisi- sky in Virginia, both of whom won upset elections against Republican Congressmen. A Possible First For A Jewish Leader Lautenberg, running in his first election, came from way behind to defeat Rep. Milicent Fenwick (R. N.J.). The 57-year-qld owner of Automatic Data Processing Company spent millions, both to win his surprise nomination in the Democratic primary and to defeat Mrs. Fenwick. He said; he had no apologies for this because he said his funds counter-balanced Fenwick's high recognition factor. Lau- . tenberg is honorary; national chairman of United Jewish Appeal and is probably the first national Jewish leader to be elected to the Senate. The 54-year-old Hecht also has close ties to the Jewish community. The operator of clothing stores in Las Vegas, he has served in the Nevada State Senate from 1966-1974 and is considered close to his new Republican colleague from Nevada, Sen. Paul Lax- alt. The two newcomers along withMetzenbaum and Zorin- sky join four other Jews in the Senate, now evenly divided between four Republicans and four Democrats. The others are Sens. Rudy Boschwitz (R. Minn.) and Carl Levin (D. Mich.), whose terms expire in 1984, and Arlen Specter (R. Pa.) and Warren Rudman (R. N.H.). Two Jewish Women In The House There are now two Jewish women in the House with the election of Democrat Barbara Boxer, a San Francisco county commissioner. The Other woman is also a Cali- fornian, Rep. Bobbi Fiedler, a Republican from the Los Angeles area who won her second term. In addition to Erdreich, Sisisky, Levin, and Boxer, the other Jewish newcomers are Howard Berman and Mel Levin, both Democrats from California, and Larry Smith, a Democrat from Florida. Incumbents Re-elected The Jewish incumbents reelected are: Anthony Beilen- son (D. Calif); Bobbi Fiedler (R.. Calif.); Barney Frank (D. Mass.); Martin Frost (D. Tex.); Sam Gejdenson (D. Conn); Dan Glickman (D. Kan.); Bill Green (R. N.Y.); Benjamin Gilman (R. N.Y..); Willis Gradison (R. Ohio); Ken Kramer . (R. Col.); Tom Lantos (D. Calif,); William Lehman (D. Fla); Richard Ottinger (D. N.Y.); Benjamin Rosenthal (D. N.Y.); James Scheuer (D. N.Y.); Charles Schumer (D. N.Y:); Stephen Solarz (D. N.Y.); Henry Waxman (D. Calif.); Theodore Weiss (D. N.Y.); Howard Wolter (D. Mich.); Ron Wyden (D. Ore.); and Sidney Yates (D. 111.) . Meanwhile, most supporters of Israel in the Senate were re-elected.
