Arafat Said Will Come to New York To Address UN General Assembly By YITZHAK RABI UNITED NATIONS - (JTA) The Israel Mission to the UN has received in- formation from well placed sources here that Yasir Arafat, leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization, will come to New York in the next few weeks to address the 40th session and anniversary of the General Assembly. If Arafat's visit materializes, it will be his second to the world organization. His first was in 1974, when he ad- dressed the General Assembly carrying a gun in a holster. PLO Chief Arafat "According to all signs, Arafat will come to the UN to address the General Assembly," Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel's Ambassador to the UN, said in a press con- ference with Israeli reporters on the occasion of the opening last week of the General Assembly. MORE THAN 100 heads of state and governement are ex- pected to attend the Assembly. Among the visiting heads of state will be Israel's Premier Shimon Peres. Netanyahu said that Peres will stay in the United States from Oct. 20 to 24, and that following his address to the Assembly he will go to Washington to meet with President Reagan. He said that the Premier's itinerary is not yet finalized and the exact dates therefore for his UN appearance and the meeting Continued on Page 12-A Farrakhan Miami Leaders Condemn His Appearance Here |The Greater Miami Jewish ederation reacted Friday Sth a statement at a press inference in which Federa- >n officials and other Dted personalities and ^ganizations here called in communal, civic and lligious leaders "to join together in affirming that there is no room in Miami for the divisiveness Mr. (Louis) Farrakhan seeks to create. There is no room for his bigotry. There is no room for his hatred." The statement was read at a press conference prior to the ap- pearance Saturday night of Far- rakhan in Gusman Hall in Miami. Farrakhan is leader of the Black Muslim movement headquartered in Chicago. THE JOINT STATEMENT noted that "Farrakhan is current- ly on a speaking tour of cities across our nation in which he has left in his wake a carnage of divisiveness and anguish. We are determined that this will not be the result of his appearance in Miami on Saturday ." Affirming that Farrakhan has the "right to deliver his message," the statement em- phasized that "as it is Mr. Far- rakhan's right to speak his piece.

Assistant Secretary of State Ricahrd Murphy stresses. Testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Committee's Sub- committee on Europe and the Middle East, Murphy said the sale is a "signal" to the Arab states of the intention of the U.S. to stand behind the peace process for "the long run." He said the sale is a "gesture" needed by Jordan to demonstrate that the U.S. "recognize both its military needs and its political needs-." MURPHY, who heads the State Department's Near Eastern and South Asian bureau, was reiterating the position taken by Secretary of State George Shultz before various Congressional com- mittee in the last few weeks. Murphy said the U.S. proposes to sell Jordan advanced anti- aircraft and aircraft systems but would not be specific about whether Jordan would receive F-16 or F-20 fighter planes. The Administration has let it be known that it would not announce any sale until after Yom Kippur, which was on Wednesday. Mur- phy said that while the U.S. plans to sell Saudi Arabia some spare parts for military equipment it now has, no other major arms sales to any Arab country is planned.

The brief was filed Sept. 3 in response to acceptance of the case by the Supreme Court last June, he said. DENNIS RAPPS. COLPA ex- ecutive director, said that hear- ings on the appeal are scheduled to begin before the Supreme Court on Dec. 10. The Supreme Court notified the defense at- torneys last June 17 that it would hear the case. Although Goldman has resigned from the Air Force and is now a psychologist with a Chabad House in Los Angeles, the case is still valid because of damages Goldman allegedly suffered in lost promotions and pay increases he would have received if he had obeyed the no-yarmulke order. Rapps said Goldman remained in the Air Force Reserves. Rapps also pointed out that, in addition to the damages issue, COLPA undertook to present Goldman because of the religious rights issue of the case. '.:. . ROTHENBERG said Nathan Lewin, COLPA vice president, is representing Goldman in the Supreme Court action. A number of secular Jewish organizations, including the American Jewish Committee, American Jewish Congress and the Anti- Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, filed friend-of-the-court briefs in support of Goldman. Rothenberg said that with Lewin on the brief were David Butler, COLPA secretary, and Rapps. Lewin argued in the brief that wearing a yarmulke is a religious observance that interferes with no one and imposes no burden on the Rabbi Simcha Friedman military. The brief also argued that the record in the case, which includes a description of Goldman's ap- proximately four years of wearing a yarmulke while in uniform, showed that banning a yarmulke is not necessary for military discipline or morale as claimed by the Air Force. THE BRIEF argued, in addi- tion, that the military services do not have carte blanche in dealing with the constitutional liberties of military personnel and that, given y, the circumstances of the lack of adverse impact the yarmulke would occasion, Goldman had a constitutional right to wear the yarmulke on duty. Goldman is an Orthodox Jew who was ordained as a rabbi in 1970. After serving for two years as a Navy chaplain, he enrolled in the Armed Forces Health Profes- sions Scholarship program, taking courses in psychology at-Loyola* **% University. In September; 1977. after earning a doctorate in psychology, he entered on active duty in the Air Force, as a clinical psychologist, at March Air Force Base in California. From the time he entered Air Force service until early 1981, Goldman kept his head covered, as he had always done. This included hours when he was on duty at the Air Force hospital. ROTHENBERG said that dur- ing his entire three-and-one-half years in the Air Force, Goldman received consistently outstanding performance ratings. No com- plaints about his yarmulke were received, nor were there any other indications that his variance from Air Force dress restrictions had any harmful effect on his handling of his duties or on anyone else's military performance. In April, 1981. Goldman testified as a defense witness in a court-martial wearing his yar- mulke. The opposing counsel then made a complaint against him to the hospital commandant. On May 8, 1981, he was told by the commandant that by wearing a yarmulke on duty, he violated the Air Force Dress Code. He was given a formal letter of reprimand and threatened with additional sanctions, including a court- martial, if he did not stop wearing his yarmulke on duty. GOLDMAN promptly started a court action for injunctive relief and damages. A federal district court in Washington, D.C. entered a temporary restraining order and, after a hearing, issued on April 26, 1982, an injunction upholding Goldman's constitu- tional right to wear a yarmulke on duty. Goldman was awarded damages for pay lost as a result of the ban-yarmulke order. Continued from Page 1-A ing effect spilling out from the oc- cupation of south Lebanon. And most especially, they were angry and committed against U.S. policy in support of Israel. They aim ultimately in the long run toward bringing about a greater system of justice to oppressed people in the Middle East and in Arab lands and ultimately establishing what they saw as a more just Islamic government." In response to a question from Jeremy Levin of the Cable News Network, also a former kidnap victim in Lebanon, Weir said he does not believe he is a victim of the "Stockholm syndrome" where captives are brainwashed to ac- cept the views of their captors. Weir, who had lived in Beirut since 1953, said that his first five years there were spent among a largely Shiite community and he understands that Shiites, like others, have different viewpoints. "I DO NOT believe that my at titude has changed in any way," Weir said. "I deeply resent the in- justice of my being kidnapped." But Weir urged the U.S. to accept the offer of his captors to negotiate for the release of the six Americans still being held. He said that "opportunity for negotiations should be sei because time is short and chance may not come again. Although Weir was released, Sept. 14, it was not mad^L until President Reaean arm~l edit.

Mission By DAVID LANDAU [JERUSALEM (JTA) A Cabinet colleague has larply rebuked Foreign linister Yitzhak Shamir for |is remarks blasting the re- nt American Jewish Con- ress mission to Cairo and Lmman and his attack on forld Jewish Congress president Edgar Bronfman >r going to Moscow for ilks with Soviet officials on Jewish emigration rights. YOSEF BURG, Minister of Religious Affairs, veteran leader if the National Religious Party |nd the most senior minister in he unity coalition Cabinet, told lis reporter he was "astounded 5v Shamir's criticism and even more astounded that he chose to fiake it public. NOTING THAT neither the UCongress group's visits to Jairo and Amman earlier this Imonth nor Bronfman's trip to I Moscow were undertaken behind [the back of the Israel government, Burg declared, "If Shamir was against the missions, he could I have aired his criticism in the I Cabinet." Shamir, who is Deputy Premier I and leader of Likud, indicated in [an exclusive interview with this reporter that he thought the I AJCongress group and Bronfman were trespassing on what he view- led as Israel's primacy as Dr. Yosef Burg negotiator and policy leader not only where its own national in- terests are concerned but as representative of "the Jewish peo- ple on Jewish problems." Shamir peppered his remarks with denigration of the AJCongress as a "peanut-size organization," and personal disparagement of former AJCongress president Howard Squadron. He rapped Bronfman for undertaking negotiations "on behalf of Israel and the Jewish people" for which he was "not authorized."

He added that "There is certainly no moral or political value in a public attack made a posteriori and the personal denigration of Bronfman was just plain wrong." Sources close to Burg described Shamir's attack as "typical Herut bluster." It was recalled that the creation of the World Jewish Con- gress in 1936 occasioned a great sense of hope among Jews at a time of events that foreshadowed the Holocaust; that years later the WJC succeeded in opening chan- nels in many countries inaccessi- ble to both Israel and the World Zionist Organization, such as Poland, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. The AJCongress group, led by Harvard Prof. Henry Rosovsky, issued a statement here express- ing confidence that Egypt and Jordan seek urgently to broaden the Middle East peace process. They based their conviction on their talks with President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt and King Hus- sein of Jordan on which they brief- ed Premier Shimon Peres. Jewisr Belgian King Appoints Jewish Diplomat As Chief of Protocol BRUSSELS (JTA) King Baudouin of Belgium last week appointed a Jewish diplomat to serve as "Grand Marechal de la Cour," equivalent of Chief of Protocol of the Royal Court and head of the King's civil list and court administration. SYLVAIN FREY, 62, a member of a Jewish family in Antwerp, was appointed to what is one of the highest of- ficial posts in the country. He will assume his post in December. Frey, a career diplomat, has served up until now as the Belgian Ambassador in Dublin and has occupied various top level posts at the Foreign Ministry. He is also a former pro- fessor at the Flemish section of Brussels University. Frey succeeds Herman Dehennin, who has been appointed Belgian Ambassador to the United States. Reaganites Urged To Squash Deal NEW YORK (JTA) The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, speaking for 39 national Jewish religious and secular groups, has called on the Administration to withdraw the proposed sale of arms to Jordan, asserting: "This is the wrong sale, at the wrong time, for the wrong reasons." KENNETH BIALKIN, chairman of the Conference, said the sale will not serve American interests, or the cause of Middle East peace, or the security of our country's friend and ally Israel." He added: "We recognize of course that there is good reason to maintain positive relations bet- ween our country and the so-called 'moderate' Arab na- tions. But Jordan is no moderate as long as it rejects negotiations with Israel."

PA Page 4-A The Jewish Floridian/Friday, September 27, 1985 Sukkoth Rich With Symbolism Rabbinic authorities refer to a special ceremony of "water libation" which, in Tem- ple times, took place during Sukkoth. The ceremony is called "Drawing of the Waters." The Mishnah tells us that "He that hath not beheld the joy of the drawing of water hath never seen joy in his life." The origin of the ceremony is unknown, but Isaiah mentions it. The ceremony begins on the second night of Sukkoth, and it lasts for six nights, through Choi Hamoed. Suk- koth will be observed on Monday and Tues- day, Sept. 30 and Oct.^. In ancient times, long processions left the Temple, wending their way through Jerusalem to the pool of Shiloah (Siloam) in a triumphal march. At the pool, a golden ewer was filled with water and brought back to the Temple to be poured over the altar simultaneously with a libation of wine. Today, as Isaiah instructs us (12:3): "Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation." End of Holy Days This ceremony is one of the many symbolic instruments of Sukkoth which help make the holiday rich with meaning. These derive from the Book of Leviticus (23:39-43), where we are enjoined to dwell in booths for seven days so "that your generations may know that I made the Children of Israel to dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt." And also that the people were to take on the first day "the fruit of goodly trees, bran- ches of palm trees and boughs of thick trees and willows of the brook" to "rejoice before the Lord." These constitute the arba'ah minim, the "four species" that are central to the Suk- koth festival. They are the etrog, fruit of goodly trees; hadasim, or myrtle twigs; lulav, the branch of a palm; and willows. In the Book of Nehemiah, the arba'ah minim are documented quite specifically, where it is pointed out that from the days of Joshua to Nehemiah, the people had not dwelt in booths (8:17), but where Jews are also enjoined: "Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and branches of wild olive, and myrtle branches, and palm bran- ches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths as it is written" (8:15). In all, Sukkoth offers an opportunity to end the High Holy Day season on a hopeful note, a suitable prelude to Simchat Torah, where the expression of joy in concluding the reading of the Torah merely opens to door to the resumption of our reading of "In the beginning . This hopeful note and joyous Torah celebration stand in stark contrast to the awesomeness of Yom Kippur, at the conclu- sion of which Jews hope for one another that each of them has been written into the Book of Life. On Sukkoth, the opportunity is taken to anticipate that they all have.

Among these are appeals for assistance to the Greater Miami Jewish Federation and for purchase of Israel Bonds. We enter the New Year with Sukkoth and Simchat Torah still ahead of us as the final, happy ending of the holiday season. No better way is available to us to show that me meant what we said during our penitential prayers on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur than to support these appeals as a symbol of our participation in Jewish community life both here and abroad. Through the Israel Bond Organization and our purchases of Israel Bonds, we can pro- vide Israel with the wherewithal to continue its economic expansion at a time when infla- tion there is still rampant. This vital flow of funds also helps Israel to maintain its securi- ty through monumental defense expen- ditures, which it could not affort without us. In effect, our bond purchases give Israel the kind of options that permit it to keep the domestic fires going while it bears the burden of providing for the qualitative military expenditures that would be impossi- ble otherwise. Through the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, and Federations elsewhere in South Florida and across the nation, we pro- vide Israel with another source of aid gifts to the United Jewish Appeal. Equally important, we turn our eyes homeward, to needy Jews here in Dade County. Our Federation puts it simply enough. We are one people with one destiny. We can't afford to lose a single Jew. Whether through our Federation gifts we WERCr56lMfVTltny| 'JTA assist the furtherance of Jewish education here, the elderly at the Jewish Home for the Aged, the sick at Mount Sinai Medical Center, or the problem-ridden family seek- ing counseling at Jewish Family and Children's Service in all of the spheres of our communal activity, and others of Jewish concern as well, we help assure that we will not lose them. Not here in Miami. And not in Israel. So when the moments of appeal occur as a punctuation to our Holy Day prayers, let our hearts show that we mean what we say. Make those gifts the gifts that count toward Jewish survival.

CHESTERTON once ex pressed his regret this way: "How odd of God/ To choose the Jews." Comes now the pipsqueak Louis Farrakhan, due to speak in Miami on Saturday night, who feels pret- ty much the same way about it. You don't have to be a poet and an aesthete like Chesterton to hate Jews. Farrakhan's performance in Los Angeles several weeks ago proves the point. It was in Los Angeles that Far- rakhan confessed that he has a "problem with the Jewish peo- ple." He cannot, he said there, reconcile himself with the fact that they were "chosen." The sim- ple fact is. he declared before the world, it is the blacks who are chosen by God. How the Jews got into this fix first, he failed to explain. NO ONE has authorized me to speak for the Jews on this matter, but from my own point view, I am inclined to say here and now that Mr. Farrakhan and his minions are welcome to the honor. Despite his deviousness and his worst in- tentions for us, I hereby relinquish my special status as favorite in the eyes of God, which he can prompt- ly transfer to one of his frothing followers. Given that all American Jews are to be charitable and do the same, just for starters Farrakhan would promptly be able to crown about one-third of the American black community with a chosen person accolade. Assuming they wanted to be crowned by him per- sonally in that cause. I even have a special lapel pin all worked out. I leave the color, the design and the material to him. But the legend would be simple enough just three capital let- ters, CPA, standing for Chosen Persons' Association. IN THIS, of course, there would be a double benefit. Since the legend also stands for Cer- tified Public Accountant, the wearer could masquerade as a Louis Farrakhan specially-chosen professional in an academic and occupational field that is not only respected but, above all things, lucrative. Naturally, the wearer wouldn't have to masquerade. He could in fact go through the requisite tormented disciplines leading to the CPA designation and then, in fact, become a Certified Public Accountant and a participant in all the good things that the bourgeois way of life has to offer. But I am duty-bound to point out to Mr. Farrakhan that being a member of the Chosen Persons' Association is a far less simple matter than it sounds. There are no elementary steps to go through for starters, like merely claiming that you are a member. In fact, there aren't even any complicated ones. The chosen person status is, if the truth be known, unutterable in the same sense that Paul Tillich called God unutterable. If you can pin God down describe Him, paint His picture, worship an im- age of Him then your God is no God at all. He is indistinguishable, say, from a teacup. I DON'T want to pursue Tillich's argument any further, since it would be beyond Mr. Far- rakhan's capacity to understand. But a genuinely chosen person does understand without even talking about it, since the unut- terability of it all is so visceral. Dare I say this? A Jew, for in- stance, surely knows what God's unutterability means without any talk about it because a Jew has liv- ed with his unutterable God since the beginning of Judaism in time. Among many other reasons, that is why Jews are disinclined to mention His name. To mention it, to utter it, is for a Jew to say that he knows who and what God is. And that would be absurd. This is a pretty tough kind of a God to have not even to be able to call Him by name. Further- more, the nature of his own unut- terability requires of the chosen person a kind of intellect that is far from ordinary in a world where the common experience is to make statues of God. dress Him up in gold-threaded duds and then bow down. What is even tougher as a con- struct to understand is that Jews have been willing throughout the ages to suffer for their unut- terable God. They have chosen to do so, and that is what makes them the people who have chosen. THE THING to be made clear is that it is the Jews who have chosen God; it is not really wa who has chosen them to revere His unutterability. When Farrakhan spread his poison in Los Angeles the other week, little if anything W m know about this.

In person or in us writing. The 51-year-old journalist Hooks and sounds like a cross [between a modern-day Jeremiah and Damon Ru- nyan. He is The Front Page come back to life in the 1980s, complete with a tough New York accent, drink in hand, his language lurching from lyrical to obscene. Zion has style: his personality and his writing grab you by the collar, and he complains bitterly that young journalists today look bland, "like Harvard-educated in- surance salesmen, for Chrissake. They probably go into journalism for the security of it rather than the excitement,'* he says. "Can you imagine that?" SIDNEY ZION clearly chose journalism for the excitement, giving up a solid law career and vi- sions of becoming a great trial lawyer for the "pursuit of the Goddess" of journalism. Over the last 20 years he's taken his lumps at one point he was blacklisted by the press for identifying Daniel Ellsberg as the source of the Pen- tagon Papers "leak," and he's been fired more than once but you can see he's loved the battle, scars and all. He was a reporter for the New York Post, the New York Times, started his own magazine, Scanlan's Monthly, has won numerous awards and has been praised by the New York Times as "The guerilla warrier of journalism." He's got wild, wonderful stories to tell about his colorful career as a reporter, and provocative opi- nions on everything from the Supreme Court ("they're destroy- ing the First Amendment") to Ariel Sharon ("he'd make a helluva prime minister"). Right now he's pacing around his booklined West Side apart- ment in Manhattan, railing against the people he loves most his fellow Jews. "They're so shreklich, so afraid," he says, "that fear in them is always there. Always. It's terrible. They worry about what the goyim will think of them. Maybe Jews really believe they're not as good as the next guy. But I sure as hell don't feel that way. Jews shouldn't be scared anymore. Never scared. They should be mad." ZION IS MAD that during the 1984 Presidential campaign, American Jews didn't raise as much of a stink about men like Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger and Sen. Jesse Helms as they did about Jesse Jackson. (Not that he's a fan of Rev. Jackson, whom he calls "dirt under my feet.") But Zion is convinced that Jews are afraid to start up with the powers that be. "We're still satisfied with being patted on the back. We never call in our cards. We never get tough. Why? Because we want to make sure we'll get invited back to the White House. "In the main," he says, "we I always vote against our own best [interests." All of this is said with passion land force, but without rancor. That's just the way it is, Zion seems to say. He has about him a [sense of wonder mixed in with his [cynicism, and that combination [keeps him youthful and open- I minded. It also keeps him honing ^tyin on the truth, doggedly and "relentlessly, never mind the consequences. f ' enjoyed a fabulous press as presi- dent of the New York Yankees and Madison Square Garden until Zion exposed him as "the Inspec- tor Clouseau of the sports world." And Zion took on the music in- dustry for allegedly keeping "good music" off the market to promote rock and roll. He was also virtually the only American journalist to assert that there now exists a Palestinian state, that it has been a nation since 1948, and that it is called Jordan. But more than not Zion's quest for the truth has found him cham- pioning the underbelly of almost any issue or personality. His writings include warm remem- brances of Jewish gangsters and he has defended such unpopular figures as: mobster Meyer Lansky for all he did, quietly, for the fledgling Jewish state; Patty Hearst, who "would've never been in that bank" if she hadn't been kidnapped; the much-aligned New York Yankee owner George Steinbren- ner, who "wants only to win" and who "made the Yankees great again"; the perhaps even more- maligned Oakland A's owner Charlie Finley "if everyone who hated Charlie Finely hated each other, there would be World War III" for demanding ex- cellence of his employees; and, of course, Menachem Begin, for having "led the first Hebrew revolution in 2,000 years" and "holding his own against the premier statesmen of the century." ZION WROTE passionately about Begin and his cause often during Begin's tenure as prime minister. He is an unabashed ad- mirer of the Irgun, the underground army that Begin took command of in 1943, and an outspoken critic of Ben-Gurion and Golda Meir and their followers. :::>':: ...... 3**SS Some Sidney Zion Zaps Writing Is Only Good When It's Over IT'S LED HIM to criticize cred cows like Mike Burke, who On writing for deadline: "I need deadlines to work, because I'd rather do almost anything else. When I was writing a regular column I used to give myself four hours, but I needed more pressure so I cut it down to two-and-a-half. "Writing is the opposite of sex: it's only good when it's over." On 'labeling' columnists: "People like to categorize who they read right away. Oh, he's a conservative or he's a liberal. But they can't peg me. All I really go by is the Bill of Rights. On meeting Ben Hecht: "I only met him once, a couple of months before he died. It was the day of Lyndon Johnson's Inauguration, January 1964. Everyone loved LBJ then, and Hecht asked me what I thought of his speech. I told him I thought it was great. And he said, 'I think he's an evil man.' Ben said, 'I watched him as if I was watching a potato bug and when I saw his eyes tear over at the playing of the National Anthem, I knew we were all in trouble. On aliyah and Zionist organizations: "Let's face it, American Jews aren't going to go live in Israel, so why waste all that money. And anyway, it's better if all the Jews aren't living at the same address. There are as many Zionist organizations now as there were before 1948, and that's crazy. I mean, there is a state." On the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith: "Peter Bergson used to say to me, "how would you like it if there was a league against the defamation of Sidney Zion?' We just don't need all that stuff." On anti-Semitism: "We're always trying to figure out why the goyim don't like us. But that's their problem. We should ignore it. Let them worry about it. On Ariel Sharon: "He's a friend of mine and I think he'd make a helluva prime minister. People say all kinds of terrible things about him, that he'd be a dictator. But as politicians go, he's honest. The Arabs respect him. And he's more concerned about civil liberties than anyone who has ever headed the Israeli government. The thing about Arik is, he doesn't take any crap from anyone, especially American cabinet secretaries and presidents." On how to improve Israel's public relations image: "First of all, it's horrible now, and they don't seem to realize just how important it is. If I was in charge I'd fight for people's minds and I'd make that fight just as vital as the military battles. I'd set up a war college of the best minds and fight to win people back. They're losing that war something terrible." On Jews vs. Jews: "That's the most serious bat- tle Israel faces, not the Arabs but the Jews. We haven't been out of the dungeons of the Diaspora long enough to respect our fellow Jews. In Israel, people say, 'why should I do that for him? He's just another Jew.' It's very sad and very scary." When Begin was elected to Israel's highest office in 1977, Zion wrote in a column for the Soho Weekly News, "Leave it to my Jews. They make a revolution and 29 years later the leader of the revolution comes to power. First the collaborators, then the revolutionaries. The Hebrews don't just learn it backwards, they do it backwards." In July, 1981, when Israel destroyed an Iraqi nuclear reactor and bombed Beirut, the press blasted Israel in what Zion calls "a media carpet bombing." He responded with a piece for the New York Times Op-Ed page call- ed "Genesis, Rewritten," which began, "The Middle East memory bank is empty again." Zion pointed out how the world's selec- tive memory chooses to remember only Israeli military actions while ignoring far more serious Arab ones. . "When more than 90,000 Arabs dje by Arab,gu.and bombs, it's just one of those crazy things," he wrote. "When 300 Arabs die by Israeli fire, it's a holocaust com- mitted by a Jewish Mad Bomber. Begin. It begins with Begin. Read the papers, watch the television." ONE OF Zion's popular pieces was his "political obit" of Begin) which appeared in the November, 1983 issue of Harper's, shortly after Begin resigned. It was a tribute to Begin as a microcosm of the Jews in the 20th Century, an outcast but, above all, a survivor. In the article, Zion asserts that Israel gained statehood not because of the United Nations, Harry Truman or world guilt but because of the revolutionary war fought against the British by the Irgun. "That this is news, even to most Israelis, is in its way as astonishing as the rebirth of the Jewish state itself. Has any other nation denied its revolution?" Zion says that, "the Hebrew revolution 'never happened' because the 'wrong people' fought and won it." His only disappoint- ment with Begin is that when he finally came to power, almost three decades later, he did not "revise the official history to the actual truth." BUT AS FOR charges of Begin the fanatic, Begin the zealot, Zion wrote: "I look at it this way: when a man who has lived through the seasons of Menachem Begin can still love his people so much that he will relinquish his power just because he's tired and sad well, nobody better tell me such a man is a fascist. I never knew a statesman to walk gentle into the night. Have you?" Zion lists Begin, journalist- playwright Ben Hecht and Peter Bergson, Revisionists all, among his bona fide heroes. "Most of my heroes, the Irgun guys, never made it to power, he says. Zion never made it to Israel un- til after the Six-Day War when he decided he had been there but I'd never been, and I'd never written about Israel, he says. "Being there didn't change my views, it just made me more committed and more excited." THOUGH passionately commit- ted to Israel, Zion would prefer to see an Israeli nation rather than a Jewish sate, with the vast majori- ty of the citizens Jewish and with Judaism playing the pervasive role Christianity does in America. "But keep the religious parties out of politics. It's bad for the religion and bad for the state," he says, noting that he prefers to criticize Israel internally as in an interview with a Jewish magazine rather than in the general press because "Israel has enough enemies."

From 1958 to 1980. Oslo. Nor- way, functioned without a rabbi. It fell upon Michael Melchior, the eldest son of a Danish family coun- ting six generations of rabbis, to rekindle Jewish life in one of world Jewry's loneliest outposts. Trained in Israel with the help of the Foundation and the Oslo community. Rabbi Melchior open- ed the first kindergarten in Oslo since the Holocaust and revitaliz- ed the afternoon schools, which teach children from 7 through 13. In 1979. there were 39 children receiving religious instruction at the Jewish Community Center in Oslo. The number for 1985 is 68. Walter H. Annenberg has been installed as first chairman of the new Moses Aaron Dropsie Ad- vanced Research Institute in Near Eastern and Judaic Studies, it is announced by the president of Dropsie College. Dr. David M. Goldenberg. The Dropsie Institute, a post- graduate advanced research center, is the restructured con- tinuation of Dropsie College, which was founded in 1907, and pioneered non-theological Judaic Studies at the graduate level in this country. Arlin Adams, Federal Judge in the United States Court of Ap- peals, formally inducted An- nenberg into his new position at a recent board meeting in Philadelphia. The American Jewish Congress will present its 1985 Cultural Achievement Award to Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller at an af- fair at The Pierre in New York Ci- ty on Oct. 10. The event will be chaired by Nesuhi Ertegun, chairman and co-chief executive officer of WE A International, one of the nation's leading recording companies. The award will be presented by Henry Siegman, executive direc- tor of the American Jewish Congress. One of America's best-known songwriting teams, Leiber and Stoller are generally credited with creating a new form of music that came to be known as "rock and roll." Rena Costa, a New York philanthropist and founder of the Chair in Yiddish Language and Literature at Bar-Ilan University, will receive an honorary fellowship from the Israeli University at a dinner Oct. 9 in the Plaza in New York City. Dr. Emanuel Rackntan, presi- dent of Bar-Ilan University, will confer the fellowshipo upon Mrs. Costa. Jane Stern, president of Bar- Ilan's American Board of Overseers, said the dinner will also mark the University's in- augural of degree-granting pro- grams in Yiddish studies, with Yiddish as the language of instruction. Rabbi Benjamin Bieeh, of the Young Israel of Oceanside, and Dr. Elliot Udell, of the Young Israel of Plainview, have been ap- pointed to chair the annual Torah retreat sponsored by the National Council of Young Israel over the Thanksgiving Weekend. Harold M. Jacobs, president of the National Council, announced the appointments for the pro- gram, which will begin Nov. 27 and continue through Dec. 1 at the Homowack in Spring Glen. NY. Steve Shaw, of Germantown. Md.. has been appointed new na- tional executive director of the Jewish War Veterans of the ISA. He succeeds Harris B. Stone, who announced his retire- ment in early August. Shaw has been with the JWV since January. 1980. when he was appointed to serve as national director of programming. He has been the organization's assistant national executive director since August. 1983. Prior to his association with the Jewish War Veterans, Shaw worked for the Jewish Communi- ty Council of Metropolitan Detroit as community affairs associate. A noted Weizmann Institute im- munologist, Prof. Ruth Anton, has been chosen to present the prestigious 1986 Jimenez Diaz Memorial Lecture in Madrid, Spain, next May. The Lecture was established in 1969 to honor the memory of the late Prof. Carlos Jimenez Diaz, one of the great figures of Spanish medicine and research. The roster of Diaz lectures to date features some of the most prominent per- sonalities in biomedical science, including Nobel Laureates Severs Ochoa, Hans A. Krebs, and Cesar Milstein. Prof. Arnon is known for her contribution to research in fields ranging from cancer research to multiple sclerosis. In 1979, she was the recipient of the Robert Koch Prize in Medical Science, and in 1983 she was elected presi- dent of the European Federation of Immunological Societies. The most important task for the American Jewish community is "to help strengthen the undergir- ding of democracy in Israel," declared Leonard Fein at the United Nations seminar on Zionism sponsored by the Interna- tional Council of B'nai B'rith. Fein, a professor at Dartmouth College and Columbia University and editor of Moment magazine, said the bolstering is important "not because democracy is in im- mediate jeopardy, but to prevent it from falling into disrepute." In response to a question whether Israel can remain a Jewish state and a democracy from one of the 140 persons atten- ding the seminar, including some two dozen foreign ambassadors, Rabbi Michael Melchior, trained in Israel with the help of the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture and the Oslo Jewish communi- ty, helps little girl in lighting Shabbat candles and saying the blessings. Rabbi Melchior has revitalized Jewish life in Oslo, which had been without a rabbi for more than 20 years. Fein said only Rabbi Meir Kahane, a member of the Israeli Knesset, "puts the question that way." Fein added that Kahane's vision of Judaism "is manifestly hostile to democracy ... He has already chosen a Jewish state over democracy."

New varieties of artichokes and methods for growing them, which promise to revolutionize this branch of agriculture, have been developed by scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Yehuda Basnitzki and Prof. Daniel Zohary of the Department of Genetics at the University's Alexander Silberman Institute of Life Sciences have succeeded in breeding seed-propagated varieties of artichokes. Until now, the artichoke has generally been propagated vegetatively, that is, by planting cuttings.

Vatican Invites Jewish Studies Prof. To Set Up Same Project By HUGH ORGEL TEL AVIV (JTA) Prof. Daniel Carpi, who has just com- pleted three years as head of Tel Aviv University's Chaim Rosenberg School for Jewish Studies, has been invited by the Vatican's Gregoriana University to help set up a center for Jewish studies there, TAU has announced. It said that in view of the fact that the Vatican has no diplomatic ties with Israel, the invitation sets a new precedent in academic rela- tions with the Holy See. The Pontificia Universita Gregoriana, a major institution of higher learnng run by the Vatican, has an important in- stitute for the study of the Bible, and is in the process of updating its curriculum to include modern Jewish history, according to Carpi. The new center, to be named the Interfaculty Center of Judaic Studies, will focus on the period beginning with the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492, up to the start of the Zionist movement. Carpi will spend the fall semester at Gregoriana. and will give a course on the Jewish com- munities of Western Europe and the Mediterranean during the same period. SAVE$15 IN 15 MINUTES.

The Saudis reportedly received approval from the Reagan Administration to buy the British planes because the Ad- ministration feared a major battle with Congress if it met the Saudi request for some 40 F-15 fighters trom the U.S. Murphy rejected a suggestion by Rep. Lee Hamilton (D., Ind.), the Subcommittee's chairman, for a compromise on the sale to Jor- dan. Rep. Mel Levine (D., Calif.), also suggested a compromise, declaring that rather than helping the peace process, selling sophisticated arms to Jordan would be "counter-productive." REP. LAWRENCE Smith (D., Fla.) said there has been a history of 35 years of "frustration" in which arms were linked tothe peace process and nothing hap- pened. He said the U.S. has a "carrot and stick policy" in which it provides the carrot and "we beat ourselves with the stick." Smith said that instead of sup- plying arms in return for pro- mises, the U.S. should see the fulfillment of the promises first. "We have done everything we can," he said, adding that it was not up to King Hussein of Jordan to cross not the Rubicon but the Jordan River and begin negotia- tions with Israel. Israeli Soldier Shot, Raped Said To Be Improving TEL AVIV (JTA) The 18-year-old soldier who was raped and shot and left for dead in the Negev six weeks ago is said to be improving under the physical and psychological therapy she is receiving at the Beth Levenstein Center. The woman, whose identi- ty is being withheld, remains par- tially paralyzed from the attack. The soldier was attacked on Aug. 16 when a man gave her a lift in his car while she was hit- chhiking from her army base near Beersheba to her home in the Negev. Police are conducting a nationwide search for the assailant. In an effort to get a positive identification, the police have issued a portrait compiled by using an American identikit system received a few days ago from the U.S. The system, said to be the most efficient now in use, combines many facial features on separate transparent plastic sheets which can be superimposed on each other to provide a total composite face. Earlier identifications, in- cluding that given by the soldier described the assailant as between 28 and 30 years of age, of average height, fair-skinned and husky, with light brown hair, with somewhat protruding lower teeth. He spoke fluent Hebrew. teeoeeeeeeo Members of the Subcommitee rejected Murphy's contention that Hussein has met the requirement of the 1986 Foreign Aid Act that before any new arms can be sold to Jordan, President Reagan must certify that Jordan is committed to recognize Israel and negotiate with the Jewish State. Reagan, in signing the Act in August, said those conditions had been met. MURPHY maintained that Hus- sein, in his statements during his visit to Washington last May, said publicly that he was committed to the recognition of Israel and negotiations with Israel. Hussein was is scheduled to meet with Reagan in Washigton last Monday. Murphy said that Hussein's pro- posal for a joint Jordanian- Palestinian delegation to meet with the U.S. is seen as a "warm- up" for negotiations with Israel. He said the U.S. also expected the meeting to ensure that United Na- tions Sercurity Council Resolu- tions 242 and 338 would be seen as the only basis for negotiations. But Murphy stressed that the meeting with the joint delegation would not be used for negotiations nor would it be a meeting of the U.S. with the Palestine Liberation Organization. He conceded that there has been no change in the U.S. position toward the seven members proposed by Hussein as the Palestinian representatives on the joint delegation. Murphy in- dicated that while the U.S. has ap- proved two names, it is still argu- ing with Jordan about whether the five others are or are not members of the PLO. cooooo By DAVID LANDAU JERUSALEM (JTA) - Israel has expressed serious concern over Britain's 3 billion Pounds Sterling arms deal with Saudi Arabia and its proposed sale of advanc- ed weapons to Jordan, where Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has been visiting. The British will sell Saudi Arabia 48 of its highly-rated Tor- nado jet fighters the attack ver- sion of the plane according to reports from London plus 40 Haw training jets. The Foreign Ministry, noting that both Saudi Arabia and Jordan are "formally in a state of war with Israel," warned that the weapons could be used against Israel even though this was not the seller's intention. Moreover, the Foreign Ministry said, the sales will upset the military balance in the Middle East. THATCHER reportedly is try- ing to interest the Jordanians in Tornado jets. They may be amenable to her sales pitch in view of the looming battle on Capitol Hill if Jordan sought to buy equivalent weaponry from the U.S. But the Reagan Administra- tion indicated that it plans to go ahead with major arms sales to Jordan despite strong Congres- sional opposition. The Administration is holding off, however, on the sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia, except for spare parts for military equip- ment the Saudis already have. This, apparently, is because it wants to avoid a major battle with Congress. The Administration reportedly gave its blessings to the Britith sale of combat aircraft to the Saudis. The Israeli media report that there is rising anger in the U.S. government and the aeronautical industry over the pro-Israel lobby's efforts to thwart American arms sales to both Jor- dan and Saudi Arabia, with the result that those countries have decided to shop elsewhere. 2,000 Israeli Arabs Back JERUSALEM (JTA) More than 2,000 Israeli Arabs have returned from the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. They said they were treated well in Saudi Arabia but were not welcomed in Jordan, the country they had to cross to and from the holiest city of Islam. The pilgrimage, or haj, is a religious rite which every Moslem is expected to perform at least once in his lifetime. PLANNING ON MOVING TO ISRAEL? HOW WONDERFUL Call me.

Sukkoth Next Week 'Perfect' Etrog Needed for Holiday By CAROL GREEN For the observant Jew, part of the annual rites of fall is the search for an etrog, the fragrant yellow fruit which is blessed on the Sukkoth holiday. Each year, thousands of observant Jews crowd market stalls in Jerusalem's Meah Shearim, many spending several hours in search of a perfect specimen of the traditional citrus. According to Jewish law, an etrog must be completely clean. Even a slight scratch or blemish on the skin of the fruit may render it unusable or posit/. The etrog's Sukkoth, commonly known as the Feast of the Tabernacles, will be celebrated on Monday and Tuesday, Oct. SO. The etrog is a dominant symbol of the holiday, and in this feature, Carol Green examines what it is that makes a 'perfect' etrog for the occasion. skin should be textured with bumps and ridges, not smooth like a lemon and its shape should be as a tower; wide at its base and growing narrower until it reaches the flowering head or pitom. An attractive etrog is highly prized, and will sell for up to $30. NOT ONLY is individual quality demanded, but the fruit must have a pedigree as well, for Jewish law prohibits the blessing of an etrog grown from hybrid seed. Because the etrog tree is very weak and shortlived, there is a great temp- tation to crossbreed it with the lemon tree. A crossbred tree can live for up to 25 years, 15 years longer than the pure strain, and is less vulnerable to disease. However, the fruit it gives is not an etrog and an educated con- sumer will not purchase it as such. In addition, there are factors of individual taste which come into play. While the Ashkenazi or European Jews prefer a slimmer variety of the fruit, Jews from North Africa and the Middle East favor the large, plump, seeded Temeni or Yemenite etrog. Although tradition regards the pitom as the beauty of the fruit, some consumers specifically prefer a pitom\ess etrog. An etrog whose pitom has fallen off while it is still on the tree is ritually usable. However, if the pitom drops off after the fruit is off the tree the etrog is posul or unusable. Parents of small children who have been known to tear off the delicate flowering head, have often opted for pitomless etrogim. But if scientists at Tel Aviv University have their way, the piiowiless etrog may soon become obsolete. They have developed a chemical spray to secure the pitom to the fruit. WHY ALL the fuss? To the casual observer, an etrog looks like little more than an oversized oblong lemon. However, the etrog is rich in mystical and symlwlic significance. In the Bible the etrog is referred to as "the fruit of the goodly tree.'" Oral tradition tells us that this is the etrog. Some commentators suggest that it was the etrog fruit that Eve ate from in the Garden of Eden. In- terestingly, this does not place the etrog in a bad light. Jewish tradition teaches that the etrog is a symbol for the perfect Jew because it has both a good taste, which is compared to Torah knowledge, and a pleasant fragrance, which is likened to good deeds. The other three species of the Sukkoth holiday have different combinations of these properties. The myrtle has smell but no taste, the willow, neither taste nor smell, and the palm sheath, also without taste or smell bears a tasty fruit. Held together as lulav and etrog, these species symbolize the different types of Jews that make up the Jewish people. Like the perfect Jew it sym- bolizes, the etrog must be cultivated with great care from the moment of its planting. An etrog tree is small and weak. Its branches and bark are thin and its roots are exposed. AN ETROG tree is also verv shortlived. It can survive for ten years at most. Because biblical law forbids the use of fruit grown during the first three years, its/* useful life is even shorter. Thus during the first three years, the tree is clipped of its fruit to enable the branches to grow strong. Onh in the fourth year may the etrog tree finally bear its precious fruit. From that point on, the etrog tree receives daily care. It is heavily irrigated to enable it to grow in the sandy soil it favors and trees in an etrog orchard are draped with large black nylon net- ting to protect them from ex- cessive sunlight and to keep birds and bugs away from its frag fruit. The trees' limbs arc bound -> to poles which encircle the I n protect them from harsh Hinds. The leaves are regularly u:- and pruned to make sure that they do not scratch the fragile fruit. A grower expects thai many etrogim among his crop which ap- pear most likely to succeed and lavish on them extra special care. "Every etrog is worked on in- dividually," explains a grower in Israel's Kfar Chabad. THE GROWING period is fair ly short. In warm weather an '. etrog can grow to full maturity in two months. After harvesting, the etrogim are cleaned and carefully packed in plastic to be shipped by i air all over the world. For an etrog grower, timing is everything. A story is told of a ship which landed in New York harbor in the days before the Se- cond World War. Its log reported no storms at sea and no collisions; the crossing from Palestine was calm and uneventful.

New York Times columnist Anthony Lewis, he said, "never writes about how terrible it is when Arabs kill Arabs or blacks kill blacks because he ex- pects them to, and that's racism. Everyone blamed Israel for the Sabra and Shatila massacres because people felt Lebanon is a zoo, and the Israelis are the caretakers and hey, you let the animals kill each other, you let it happen. But that's not the point. If you care about human rights, you've got to care about everyone and you've got to scrutinize everyone. Believe me, the double standard is alive and well." Zion applies those same stan- dards to Israel. If it is wrong to mix church and state in the U.S., he said, it's wrong in Israel as well. "The setp-up over there is a fake," he says. "Israel is a theocracy run by atheists." HE HAS much harsher words for American Jewish leaders, believing that the myriad U.S. Jewish organizations are not only useless: they are dangerous. "The organizations don't do us any good," he said. "I resent them because they only get us in trou- ble" with the concept of "spokesmen" for the Jewish community. He calls the members of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations "court Jews" who stand "hat in hand" in the corridors of power. Quoting Ben Hecht, Zion adds that the trouble with American Jewish leaders is that they always salute those who do not deign to return their salute. Zion has visceral dislike of FDR, Harry Truman and Adlai Steven- son, all of whom he regards as anti-Jewish. He cannot tolerate those who defend them by citing their attributes or ac- complishments."! hate it when people say, 'Yes, Roosevelt didn't save the Jews of Europe, but on the other hand he did this or he did that,'" says Zion, his voice rising. "To me, there is no other hand. What other hand? WoWd people say, 'Well Huey Long was a racist but he built nice highways.' That's intolerable." i ZION'S INTERESTS clearly put Jews first. He has no problem acknowledging that ifact. "Dual loyalty is not a false issue," he says, "because there:w dual loyal- ty among American Jews and we shouldn't be afraid i of it. I love America more than I love Israel, but I love Jewsi more than anything else." He also loves the Work he does, and it's hard to believe that he wasn't born to be: a journalist, having chanced upon his writing career at the age of 29. Let Zion explain how he got into the newspaper business because he tells it best. "When I tried criminal cases as a kid lawyer in New Jersey," he writes in his long introduction to "Read All About It," a collection of some of his best reporting, "I noticed that my clients had cer- tain things in common. All of them were broke, all of them were innocent, and when asked how come the cops put the grab on them, they all said, 'I dunno, I wasn't doin' nothin' I was just standing around.' "I give the same answer to peo- ple who wonder how I got to be a newspaperman." A native of Passaic, N.J. with a strong Jewish identity that he calls the flip-side of Philip Roth "the idea of being ashamed of one's Jewish heritage was beyond the pale" Zion graduated from Yale Law School and became a Zion asserts thai Israel gained statehood not because of the United Nations, Harry Truman or world guilt, but because oi the revolutionary war fought against the British by Begin and the Irgun. criminal attorney, with plans to become a trial lawyer. BUT HIS LIFE changed late on a December night in 1962, only a few days before his wedding, when journalist Victor Navasky, a buddy of his from Yale Law School, asked Zion to write a parody of columnist Murray Kempton for a special parody of the New York Post which at the time was closed by a newspaper strike, as were the other dailies in New York. A newspaper buff and admirer of Kempton, Zion agreed. His piece was such a big hit that the Post's managing editor, Al Davis, offered him a job. Zion was stunned. "Of course, I dismissed the idea," he later wrote. "Of course, ten minutes later I called Al Davis. The secret Navasky spot- ted was that I wanted to be Ben Hecht long before I wanted to be Clarence Darrow." Zion hooked up with the Post, which he describes as right out of Ben Hecht's Front Page, and was soon exposed to "the dirtiest secret of journalism: Self- Censorship." Some of Zion's best work for the Post ended up "on the spike" (unpublished), like his expose on the 1964 New York World's Fair, proving it would be a financial disaster. Everything he'd predicted came true but his series never ran because the Fair's organizers advertised heavily in the Post. A YEAR LATER, Zion was hired by "the uptown lady," the New York Times, where he work- ed for almost five years, loving every minute of it. ("I never work- ed for the Times," he wrote, "I was a kid on a carousel.") But Zion grew restless. He resigned from the Times in 1969, on his 36th birthday, to start his own magazine, Scanlan's Monthly, now best remembered for how it ended a little more than a year later. Zion and his partner, Warren Hinckle, whom he describes as "the eye-patched, bad-boy editor of Ramparts," a left-wing magazine, had decided to launch a big, brassy muckraking monthly that would set the journalism world on its ear. But Scanlan's had troubles form day one. Printers refused to print it, distributors wouldn't distribute it. Only later did Zion find out, courtesy of John Dean's memoirs, that Richard Nixon himself had ordered Dean, then counsel to the President, to go after Scanlan's in part because it had published a memo from Vice President Agnew that referred to Rand Cor- poration studies to cancel the 1972 national elections and repeal the Bill of Rights. SCANLAN'S continued to go after the Nixon Administration the magazine ran an "Impeach Nixon" cover long before Watergate and the Administra- tion continued to go after Scanlan's, putting the IRS on the backs of the magazine's promoters. The Administration won.

Florida 33415 CALL (305) 964-2828 Scanlan's lasted only eight issues, but Zion says he is proud of them and he's never looked back. The next chapter of Zion's life is one of the most unpleasant for him, but it's the part he's best remembered for. Indeed, as Zion notes, his obituary will probably label him as the man who "fingered" Daniel Ellsberg in the Pentagon Papers. It all came about because of a gentleman's bet Zion made with his newspaper colleagues. In June, 1971, soon after Scanlan's folded, Zion was work- ing on a piece for the Sunday New York Times Magazine and, while in the newsroom, word came that a federal judge had issued a tem- porary order restraining the Times from continuing publication of the Pentagon Papers, which had begun two days earlier. Zion, with typical bravado, told his bud- dies he'd find out by the next day what everyone wanted to know: namely, who leaked the Papers to the Times. AFTER ONLY a few well placed calls the next morning, Zion came up with the name "Daniel Ellsberg" and he confirm- ed it with two sources. Realizing he had a hot story and no one to sell it to he was freelancing at the time Zion went on a popular New York talk radio show that night and named Ellsberg as the source of the famous leak. The story made the front pages across the country but the world of jour- nalism called him "immoral" for naming Ellsberg, a hero to all those who were against the Viet- nam War. Zion was blacklisted by the New York Times he was told not to set foot in the building as well as a number of magazines and newspapers for which he had writ- ten. One newspaper at the time described him as "the most despised man in the American press." To Zion, the press was acting like a bunch of jealous hypocrites. After all, he was only doing his job, going after a hot story. He reasons that his colleagues turned on him because he wasn't working for any particular paper at the time and they were upset that he "scooped" them. In any event, about a year later, while holding court at his usual spot at Sardi's bar one night, Zion was approach- ed by Abe Rosen thai, his former boss at the Times, who had been avoiding him ever since the. Ellsberg story. This night Rosenberg muttered genug in Yid- dish to Zion ("enough") and in- vited him to have a drink. AFTER THAT the writing market eased a bit, but Zion still found the going tough enough to go back to practicing law. When Pete Hamill wrote a full column apology to Zion in the Post, where he had attacked him, Zion sent him a wire: "I assume this is the start of a series." Hamill's column ended with a plea for the blacklist to stop but it didn't until the Sun- day New York Times Magazine gave Zion an assignment in 1977 to profile New York sports businessman Mike Burke. It became a cover story, marking Zion's reentry to the Times Magazine after almost a decade. Soon after, Rupert Murdoch took over New York magazine and the Post and hired Zion to write a column for the Post. He was later canned he still doesn't know why and immediately hired as a columnist for New York magazine. In the fall of 1978, Zion teamed up with his friend Uri Dan, a leading Israeli journalist, to do a behind-the-scenes story on the Camp David peace accords. The New York Times Sunday Magazine decided to run their story, 20,000 words, as a two- parter, though Zion was furious to learn that rather than being a cover story it would only get a "FUNNY AND ENTERTAINING!'

Friday, September 27, 1985/The Jewish Floridian Page 11-A Envoy Cautions: Attacks on Israel Expected At New General Assembly "The only stuff I want you to leave out," Izzy said, "are those things on which the statute of limitations never runs." Of course, the only crime with no end, with no statute of limitations, is murder. But I didn't spell this out for the audience. All I said was that I asked Izzy why he would care about the statute at his funeral. "Very good!" Izzy said. But minutes later he told me to leave it out anyway. I asked why. He said, "Suppose they don't accept me there, suppose they send me back? Do I need to walk into the hands of Frank Hogan with a confession on my back? All my life I took the Fifth, what am I gonna get stupid now that I'm dead? Forget about it!" THE JOINT cracked up. The rabbi was not close to the wall. By the time I finished laying out the no-longer indictable highlights of my friend's colorful life, the rabbi was looking for secret exits. But no good! He had to get back and say the final prayer for the deceased. "Be of good faith," he said, his fifty-G voice now down to a sawbuck. "If he isn't bound up with the Eternal, he'll be safe elsewhere." The rabbi had consigned Izzy to limbo, and when our conversation turned to politics again Jewish and otherwise Zion allowed that he wasn't so sure American Jews weren't caught in a limbo of their own, somehwere between security and being sold down the river. Zion has a more than healthy dose of cynicism about America's bottom-line commitment to Israel. "It's a fragile commitment," he says, "despite all the nice words." I tell him he sounds like he is contradicting himself. Earlier, he had said that Jews are paranoid and there is no need to fear anti- Semitism. Yet now, he is saying that the national commitment to Israel is tenous. "Let me think this through," Zion says slowly, dead-serious now, "because I want to get it right." After a moment's silence, he responds: "if there wa a real commitment, why do Jews only win the exhibition games?" he asks, citing numerous instances in recent years when both Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan were inconsistent in their support of Israel. "IT'S IDOLATRY for Jews to have political heroes in this coun- try," says Zion, who notes that his only American political hero is Thomas Paine, the Revolutionary War-period idealist whose Com- mon Sense was a "great book but they wiped him out of American history Lincoln was also on my list but I admire him less as I read him more." When it comes to 20th Century politicians, Zion has kind words only for Paul O'Dwyer a former New York City Councilman, for whom he named his 15-year old- son, Jedd O'Dwyer Zion. He s a fine man-in fact, he president of the Tom Paine Society, the best job in the world but he loves Jesse Jackson too much." Zion says that the Bible and history have taught Jews not to put their trust in any politician. "I can make demands on them even though I don't for a minute exect them to fulfill those demands," he says, explaining, in a way, his ability to balance his idealism and skepticism. "I can't be detached about anything," he acknowledges. "You can't lose your passion. You just gotta keep your sense of humor or you'll go nuts. It's never as bad or as good as it looks, but you've got to keep trying and making your point. Right now, our civil liberties are in a crisis in this country, our schools aren't educating anyone, but no one's getting mad, no one's shrying 'gevalt.' " And if it's true in general, it's especially true for Jewish life, Zion believes. "The great tradi- tion of bawling out the Jews seems to have ended with the Pro- phets," he says, "but the Lord knows we still need it." NEW YORK Israel's Am- bassador to the United Nations has warned Jewish leaders in New York of a new attack on the Jewish state during the upcoming General Assembly session. The campaign will seek to link Israel with South Africa and support for its apartheid policy. Ambassador Benjamin Netanyahu told members of the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, "The line that we are now hearing is that there is a 'New Strategic Triangle' which includes South Africa, the United States and Israel. We can be sure that numerous resolutions of condem- nation will be put forward in this year's General Assembly session directed at all three members of this fictitious alliance." "THE FACT of the matter is," Netanyahu observed, "Israel has a longstanding policy of firm op- position to apartheid." The Ambassador noted that Prime Minister Shimon Peres recently outlined Israel's stance in what is now an official UN docu- ment that has been distributed to ail UN missions. According to Netanyahu, the document was not published in order to exempt Israel, "but simp- ly reiterate our utter disdain for apartheid and what it represents." The position paper reflects what Netanyahu and his predecessors have clearly stated in UN speeches and documents for many years. Netanyahu went on to challenge the often-stated accusation that Israel is the "mighty empire that sustains South Africa from afar." "On the contrary," he said, "Israel's trade with South Africa is dwarfed in comparison with the business conducted between South Africa and the Arab nations." THE AMBASSADOR produc- ed International Monetary Fund and United Nations statistics which showed that while South Africa's trade with Israel totalled $110 million in 1984, its trade with the Persian Gulf states in oil alone amounted to a minimun of $1.5 billion, or close to 15 times Israel's trade figures. In addition, Netanyahu revealed that an estimated 75 percent or more of all tonnage arriving at South Africa ports, in violation of the UN imposed ban, came from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other Arab countries. In contrast, Israel's trade represents less than 0.5 percent of South Africa's total trade figures. "Jewish leadership must make these findings available," Netanyahu asserted, "not only in preparation for the UN General Assembly but because this is an issue that is going to dominate the agenda for some time." MALCOLM HOENLEIN, the JCRC executive director, underscored the importance of providing accurate information to the Jewish community on Israeli relations with South Africa. "We see evidence that those who seek to attack and discredit Israel, use the issue of relations with South Africa as a cover. The facts speak for themselves and must be made available to the broadest public possible. This is also a blatant attempt to link Zionism with racism by enemies of Israel and the Jewish people. The charges are spurious and cannot be allowed to go unanswered," Hoenlein said.

Issuing the warning, at a news conference at American Jewish Committee headquarters here were Bishop Maurice Dingman, head of the Catholic Diocese of Des Moines; Rev. Donald Man- worren, executive coordinator, Iowa Interchurch Forum; Rabbi k. James Rudin, AJC national director of interreligious affairs; Thomas Kelly, director, Kansas Bureau of Investigation; Dixon Terry, chair. Iowa Farm Unity Coalition; and Leonard Zeskind, research director, Center for Democratic Renewal. Dr. David M. Gordis, AJC ex- ecutive vice president, chaired the meeting. THE PRINCIPAL charge leveled by the conference was that several rightwing groups, preying on the fears of economically distressed farmers, were spreading propaganda alleging that "Eastern bankers" and an "international Jewish conspiracy" were behind the current rural economic crisis. The specific solu- tions offered by the six speakers varied, but all exhorted the Federal Government to move quickly to find answers to the farm crisis, and all called for pro- grams to make farmers aware of the falsity and viciousness of anti- Semitic propaganda. The two Christian clergymen at the conference also stressed heavily that those of the pro- paganda groups that claimed to be "Christian" were "in fact making a mockery of Christianity through their patently unChristian message of hate." Added Rabbi Rudin, expressing AJC's view and the consensus of the conference speakers: "We pledge our continuing opposition to the destructive 'siren songs' of the radical right. We will not re- main silent in the face of bigotry, and we urge all men and women of good will throughout our nation to join with us in a broad-based coali- tion of concern. The pernicious Royalty At Synagogue AMSTERDAM (JTA) - Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands and Prince Consort Claus were the guests of honor at a synagogue service here celebrating the 350th anniversary of the Amsterdam Ashkenazic Congregation. The former Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi of Amsterdam, Aaron Schuster, who has been living in Jerusalem since his retirement, returned to preside. The service was held- at the Sephardic Esnoga synagogue because none of the Ashkenazic synagogues is large enough to ac- commodate all of the invited guests. Part of the service was broadcast live on television. It was followed by a 70-minute documen- tary film on the Jews who lived in Amsterdam in 1940 perished dur- ing the Nazi occupation of Holland. virus of hatred must not be allow- ed to spread." DESCRIBING the tactics of some of the groups, Zeskind, whose agency monitors the ac- tivities of the Ku Klux Klan and similar bodies, said: "Over the last five years the level of organizing activity by racists and anti-Semites has steadily increased. They have taken advantage of the crisis in rural America and used that crisis to put forward their own political agenda." "They have used both the more flamboyant tacticts of paramilitary training and hate- mongering," continued Zeskind, "as well as the established political tactics of base-building. Most successfully of all, they sell farmers a faulty understanding of legal procedures: they talk of what they call a 'Christian understanding of common law,' and go from there to a Christian understanding of the Constitution and civilization,' and before long, while convincing farmers that they are offering them a simple way out of their legal problems, they have moved on to talk of the impending 'Jewish destruction of Western and Christian civilization.' "In this way they move down a slippery slope from simplistic legalism to out-and-out Nazism." KELLY, detailing what the Kansas Bureau of Investigation has learned of specific groups, said that one of them, the Sur- vivalists, "urges the stockpiling of weapons, food, ammunitions, and explosives in Survivalist bunkers, and some of their leaders urge their members to take violent ac- tion against Jews and racial minorities." Another group, Posse Com- itatus ("Power of the County"), Kelly continued, "has as its philosphy simply a broad spec- trum of racial, ethnic, and govern- ment issues singled out by the ex- tremist and hate groups and of- fered as a smorgasbord for bigots." While the ideas of these groups are dangerous, Kelly said, "they have not been received with open arms by our communities, and we believe these beliefs and actions are repugnant to the vast majority of our farm and rural population." Moreover, he continued, "our intelligence information in areas where there have been terroristic activities indicates that the people carrying out these activities among the farmers are seldom farmers themselves. We believe the members of our farm popula- tion are discerning individuals who reject extremist viewpoints for what they are." TERRY, a dairy farmer who is active in several farm organiza- tions and was named by Esquire magazine as one of its "outstan- ding men under 40" in 1984, urg- ed that the problem be attached at what he considered its roots: the farmers' economic problems, and their isolation. "Farmers across the country and particularly in the Midwest," Arafat May Address New General Assembly Continued from Page 1-A with the President are sill to be decided. The Israeli envoy said that a new positive development has emerged this year regarding Israel's diplomatic contacts with various member-states. IS a substantial change in the willingness of member-states to meet with Israeli represen- tatives," Netanyahu said. "Many countries which even do not have diplomatic ties with us, have agreed to meet with us during the Assembly. It seems that past years' concerns, regarding Arab sanctions, are no longer a factor in the decision of many countries to hold meeting and discussions with Israel." He said that Israeli Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir who ar- rived in New York on Sunday evening, would meet with more than 40 Foreign Ministers, some from countries which do not have diplomatic ties with Israel, such as East European and African nations. Peres, the Ambassador noted, will meet with no less than a dozen heads of state, including India and Hungary, who do not have diplomatic relations with the Jewish State. NOTING THAT the Assembly will focus on the question of apar- theid in South Africa, Netanyahu warned nonetheless, that he an- ticipates an anti-Israeli campaign which will seek to link Israel with Pretoria's racial policies. "The line that we are now hearing is that there is a new strategic triangle, which includes South Africa, the United States and Israel," Netanyahu said, in- dicating that the Arabs will attack Israel, and the U.S. according to this line. Netanyahu stressed Israel's op- position to apartheid and said that Israel will extensively publicize its attitude during the General Assembly.

Box 1482, S. Miami, FL 33143 Edna Mae Schroeder, Pres. he said, "are now facing a greater economic upheaval than any we have seen in more than half a cen- tury. Because of economic disloca- tion, the loss of farms, and the financial pressures that farmers and their families are under, there is an atmosphere of despair and hopelessness, and in this at- mosphere many farmers are blind- ly grabbing at anything that seems to provide an answer for them. "They are thus ripe for the manipulations of right-wing groups which provide simplistic answers, conspiracy theories, and bogus legal practices that will sup- posedly solve the farmers' very serious difficulties. "The problem is that these farmers have little or no contact with other segments of society or with mainstream media, and so they are prey to these manipulations." NEVERTHELESS, continued Terry, "although the right-wing threat in rural communities is the greatest it has been in a long time, I think the farmers' progressive movement has a much broader base, and the best hope for com- bating the right-wing anti- democratic movement lies with the more progressive forces. "I think the best route for deal- ing with the anti-democratic groups is to deal with the real pro- blems facing farmers, and to work to unite farmers with city workers, with minorities, and with other people in our society who are likewise facing problems and suffer from a lack of political power." Also focusing on the farmers' plight, and suggesting both political and educational solutions, Bishop Dingman said: "Desperate people will look for scapegoats. Farmers are desperate. Therefore they are psychologically and emotionally prey to the hatemongers who would blame the devastating farm crisis on 'Jewish bankers.' There is of course absolutely no truth to this charge, and the obvious solu- tion is twofold: first, remove the occasion for the hatred by giving the farmers a just price for their produce, as called for in the 1985 Farm Reform Act (the Harkin bill); and secondly, engage in a strong educational program to dispel the notion of the so-called 'Jewish conspiracy of bankers' allegedly trying to take farms away from family fanners." ALSO, continued Bishop- Dingman, "we must unmask groups like the one that calls itself Christian Identity that make a mockery of Christianity by calling themselves Christian while spreading a patently unChristian message. The Christian faith is love for one's neighbor, and these groups engender only hate." Sounding a similar theme, Reverend Manworren warned that "while the far right still represents a fairly small move- ment in the Midwest, it is a move- ment that must be taken in all seriousness," and he added: "American rural life is undergo- ing momentous change which seems clearly beyond the control of individual farmers or even farm communities. The sense of helplessness, rage, and despair created by these changes makes people vulnerable to explanations that seem to fix blame and pro- mise hope. "But people of faith know that hope never lies in the cultivation of fear, hatred, suspiciop, or scapegoating.' Those strategies, which are the methodology of the far right, always lead to the destruction of community and thus the very resource necessary to a constructive future. Hope lies in the direction of a reconciled community that recognizes its common plight and its common future." Security Forces i Uncover Terrorists TEL AVIV (JTA) Security forces recently uncovered a ter- rorist group centered on the Druze township of Majdal Shams on the Golan Heights, army sources report. The gang is reported to have been responsible for a number of attacks against the Israeli Defense Force and Golan Heights civilians and villages during the past six months. Their activities were said to have included the planting of a mine in a local vineyard, from which a civilian was injured. The gang also sabotaged water pipelines and stole arms, equip- ment and explosives from army depots. Etan Liss, chairman of the local Golan Heights Council, said Syrian propaganda was rife in local Arab and Druze schools. ORLANDO KOSHER FOOD!

When I was a child, we were in- cessantly regaled with the blan- dishments of academic achieve- ment as a way out of the isolation we experienced because we were the chosen people. From Schick through Salk and Sabine (in my later years), we were exhorted to make it in the Talmudic world of the growing scientific mind. Looking back on my childhood, I perceive that I lived in a constant state of high anxiety about the possibilities of success. And often, in the dead of night, I think now that I would rather have been playing football at the time (if I could) than given such grownup problems as achievement to solve so many years before I was yet to be presented with my first pair of longies. IF THIS is what Mr. Farrakhan wants for his followers, then he's got his work cut out for him. and it has nothing to do, he will discover in the doing of that work, with be- ing chosen as a mere designation. Except maybe as a first feeble step. Thereafter, comes the burden which is profound, relentless and eternal: to be a light unto the na- tions, to be moral, to debate the nature of light and morality in a world without end as others with none of these virtues generation after generation crucify you for your imperatives to them im- peratives that are irritating because they demand of man not more than men are capable of understanding but more than they are willing to give. And so, Mr. Farrakhan, pay heed. You'll need more than that CPA pin to be chosen. And you'll need more than to claim a capaci- ty to suffer. If you fail to see what is yet lacking in you before you have taken the chosen peoples' status for your own and put it on your finger to flourish like some vulgar, flashy diamond ring, then the notice you served on the world in Los Angeles the other week is absolutely meaningless. And my willingness to help you become a CPA is of no significance either. Your warning to the world is, indeed, like Chesterton's pouting poem: a way to gnash your teeth at your own limitations as you continue to hunt after strange Gods. By MORTON I. TEICHER A Spy for Freedom: The Story of Sarah Aaronsohn. By Ida Cowen and Irene Gunther. New York: E.P. Dutton, 1984. 159 pp., $14.95. Isaac Bashevis Singer: The Story of a Storyteller. By Paul Kresh. New York: E.P. Dut- ton, 1984. 150 pp. $13.95. Under the imprint, Lodestar Books, the publisher, E.P. Dut- ton, has inaugurated a Jewish biography series for young people with these two books. Judging by them, one may say that the idea is excellent and that it has been well implemented. This promises to fill an important need. The story of Sarah Aaronsohn's life is presented in fictional form which permits the authors to take some liberties. They set forth con- versations and thoughts which they obviously could not have recorded. Aside from that, however, they have stuck closely to the historical facts. SARAH AND her brother, Aaron, led a spy ring for the British in World War I. They call- ed it Nili, an acronym for the Hebrew phrase from Samuel which says that God will not fail His people. The information pro- vided by Nili was of considerable importance in enabling the British to oust the Turks from Palestine. The parents of Sarah and Aaron came to Palestine from Rumania in 1882 and helped to establish the settlement that became Zichron Yaakov. Aaron was a noted agronomist who discovered wild wheat growing in Galilee in 1906. He cross-bred this with cultivated wheat to produce a hardy strain which could grow in the barren land of Palestine. Based on his significant discovery, Aaron was able to establish an agricultural station at Athlit, near a Crusader fortress, close to Zichron Yaakov. This became the secret base for Nili. Intelligence information flowed in, was coded and transmitted to the British, sometimes by ship and sometimes by carrier pigeon. Sarah was in charge of the base since Aaron was mostly in Egypt or England. UNFORTUNATELY, the Turks eventually uncovered the operation and arrested most members of the group. Sarah was tortured but refused to reveal the names of her colleagues. In fear of breaking under further torture and determined to protect her comrades, she killed herslef. Aaron died a year after the war ended in an airplane crash. The house of the Aaronsohns in Isaac Bashevis Singer Zichron Yaakov is now a museum and Sarah is a national Israeli heroine whose grave is visited by many people. They pay homage to a courageous woman whose bravery paved the way for the establishment of the State of Israel. The story of Nili deserves to be more widely known. While this particular account is intended for younger readers, people of all ages can read the book to learn about an Israeli pioneer who, as the sub-title says, was truly "a spy for freedom." THE SECOND publication which inaugurates the new Jewish biography series of Lodestar Books tells the story of Isaac Bashevis Singer. It was adapted for young people by Paul Kresh from his adult biography of Singer, called "Isaac Bashevis Singer: The Magician of West 86th Street." He might have more alliteratively called it "The Magi- cian of Miami Beach," since Singer regularly spends his winters in a condominium he owns here. Kresh's biography begins and ends in 1978 when Singer was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature. This was a great distinction for an author who writes in Yiddish and who grew up as a poor boy in Poland. Singer came to the United States in 1935, assisted by his brother, I.J. Singer, who was already an established writer. For many years, his books, "Yoshe Kalb" and "The Brothers Ashkenazi," overshadowed any of the works by Isaac Bashevis Singer. After I.J. Singer died in 1944, Isaac Bashevis Singer came into his own as a writer, moving on to outstrip his brother. AMONG HIS successful books, translated from Yiddish into English were "The Family Moskat," "The Manor," "The Magician of LubHn" and "Shosha." Singer has also written many short stories, including "Gimpel the Fool," and a number of tales for children. Perhaps the best known of these are his stories about Chelm, "a legendary village of fools who think they are the wisest people in the world." Several plays and films based on Singer's work have been made, most notably, "Yentl," in which Barbra Streisand starred. Singer was displeased with the movie, comparing Streisand unfavorably to Tova Feldshuh who had the lead in the Broadway production of "Yentl." While the stories on Singer's early struggles are of interest, Kresh relates them laboriously, and his biography is somewhat less successful than the first book in the series. Kresh's writing is marred by chronological incon- sistencies and by abrupt transi- tions that interfere with the con- tinuity. There are also two careless errors. ONE OF THESE places Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat in Oslo to receive the Nobel Peace Prize at the same time as Singer was there to receive his Nobel Prize. In fact, Sadat did not go to Nor- way. He deliberately stayed away to protest the stalemated peace negotiations between Israel and Egypt. The other error identifies Singer'8 Miami Beach residence as being in "Seaside." It is in Surf side. These two books mark an auspicious start for a series that is scheduled to continue with biographies of Leo Baeck, Eliezer Ben-Yehuda and Louis Brandeis. Young poeple, for whom these books are written, will have an in- formed base for pride in their Jewish heritage.

With the five Labor Party ministers, headed by Premier Shimon Peres, firmly behind the proposal and the five Likud ministers adamantly opposed, Peres refrained from bringing the matter to a formal vote. A tie, which was inevitable in this case, would have meant defeast of the compromise. It was evident, meanwhile, that the fate of the year-old national unity coalition government hung in the balance. Although the Labor ministers, at a midnight caucus at Peres' home apparently decided not to force an all-out con- frontation with Likud at this time. Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin said in radio interviews that he could not see the government lasting out its term in a situation of diplomatic paralysis. YITZHAK NEVON. Deputy Premier and Minister of Educa- tion, also warped that the ongoing impasse with Egypt could lead to a serious deterioration in peaceful relations. "Life does not stand still. Where'there is no progress, there is regression," Navon, a former President of Israel and a powerful voice in the Labor Party, warned. .' The latest in the long series of crises which have shaken the uneasy partnership between Labor and Likud followed Egypt's agreement to a formula for tackl- ing the ,Taba dispute. It calls for conciliation which would automatically give way to binding arbitration if the conciliation pro- cess failed, after a fixed number of weekg, to produce an agreement between the two countries. Both conciliation and arbitra- tion are provided for in the 1979 Israeli-Egyptian peace reaty to settle disputes which can't be resolved through more routine forms of diplomatic negotiations. The new formula would involve Israeli, Egyptian, and American officials, the latter presenting ideas for compromise which the two other parties wuld have to ac- cept if they were to become a bin- ding solution. This is a form of conciliation. ARBITRATION would differ in that the two contesting parties have to agree in advance that the arbiter's ruling whatever it is, costitutes a quasi-judicial decision on the merits of the case and is therefore binding on them. An ar- biter's decision in a border dispute would clearly favor the claims of one side over the other, precluding a compromise solution. The conciliation-leading-to- arbitration formula evolved as a face-saving device for Likud leader Yitzhak Shamir, Foreign Minister and Deputy Premier, who has insisted from the outset that Taba be resolved by concilia- tion, entailing compromise. It emerged from recent inten- sive consultations between the Director General of the Prime Minister's Office, Gen. (Res.) Avraham Tamir, and Egyptian leaders, including President Hosni Mubarak. Their meetings were held in Cairo. But Shamir spurned that as "a fig leaf." At the Inner Cabinet meeting he argued that under the proposed formula, while Israeli, Egyptian and American officials would be ostensibly engaged in conciliation, others would already be drafting the documents of arbitration. "THIS IS NOT conciliation. It is merely using the term concilia- tion as a cover-up" for proceeding with arbitration, Shamir said. "Why should we fool ourselves?" he asked. He said it was "regret- table" that there are internal dif- ferences within Israel over Taba. He maintained that Labor's sup- port of the Egyptian position only encouraged Egypt to reject the Likud position. Underlying those internal dif- ferences are diametrically oppos- ed views over how Israel should deal with Egypt. The Labor view, frequently and forcefully presented by Peres, is that a flexi- ble approach over Taba a tiny The design of a United States postage stamp honoring Dr. Bernard Revel is unveiUd by of- ficials of Yeshiva University and the Postal System. Dr. Revel was first president of the in- stitution. The stamp will be issued in the "Great American" series in 1986, the year that the university celebrates its Centennial. The unveiling of the design marked the 100th birthday of Dr. Revel. From left are Norman Levy, whose mother was a half-sister to Dr. Revel and who represented the family; Jack D. Weiler, national general chairman of the university's centennial celebration; Dr. Nor- man Lamm, president of the university; Walter E.

The Likud view is that anything other than a tough stance toward Egypt would compromise Israel's credibility and sacrifice its prin- ciples. Ariel Sharon, the Minister of Commerce and Industry, Likud's most outspoken hardliner, warned at the Inner Cabinet meeting against any sign of "weakness" by Israel. WHILE SOURCES close to Shamir insisted that the Deputy Premier was setting the tone of Likud on the issue, Labor sources charged that not Shamir but Sharon dictated Likud policy. Shamir, in one of his radio inter- views, said he did not reject ar- bitration out-of-hand but needed clarification from Egypt regar- ding the proposal now under consideration. Rabin, who conceded that ar- bitration was "objectively the best way" to determine where the true inrternational border between Egypt and Israel is located, said he could not understand the logic of Likud's position which seemed to balk at arbitration only because the Egyptians demanded it. Peres, for his part, reportedly told the Inner Cabinet in solemn tones that he was determined not to preside over a government which was effectively paralyzed in the diplomatic arena. The latest crisis developed on the eve of Shamir's departure for the United Nations General Assembly in New York where he has a meeting scheduled with Egypt's Foreign Minister, Ismet Abdel Meguid. PERES, too, will be going to the UN where he is to meet with President Mubarak. The Israelis clearly hope that the General Assembly's 40th anniversary ses- sion will offer opportunities for fruitful diplomacy. But those hopes might not materialize if the Israeli government itself is sharp- ly divided on diplomatic issues. s500 Publix Gift Certificate With Each New Subscription 1 Year $-g QQO 52 Issues 18' A Check Must Accompany Order As A New Subscriber To The Jewish Floridian.

Pointing out that "As Americans, we enjoy no more precious right than that of free speech," the statement declared: "Social and economic justice can- not be achieved by calls to hatred and violence. While we recognize that there are inequities and in- justices in our society, Mr. Far- rakhan's approach is not the avenue to their solution. Instead, we must work together to remedy them." The statement was issued joint- ly by a broad coalition of com- munity leaders including Greater Miami Jewish Federation Presi- dent Samuel I. Adler; Federa- tion's Community Relations Com- mittee Chairman Jeffrey Berkowitz; Manuel Diaz, im- mediate past chairman of the Spanish-American League Against Discrimination; Rev. Ir- vin Elligan, Jr., past chairman of the Community Relations Board of Dade County; former Miami Ci- ty Manager Howard Gary. Also, Rabbi Brett Goldstein, president of the Rabbinical Association of Greater Miami; Rev. T. Luther Jones, president of the Metropolitan Fellowship of Churches; Athalie Range, former commissioner, City of Miami; Jesse McCrary, former Florida Secretary of State; Rabbi Solomon Schiff, executive vice president of the Rabbinical Association of Greater Miami; and Msgr. Bryan 0. Walsh, executive director of Catholic Community Services. Meanwhile, Willie Lawson III, president of the Greater Miami Branch of the National Associa- tion of Colored People, has been joined by Norma Orovitz, presi- dent of the American Jewish Con- gress, in a statement condemning Farrakhan. "Minister Louis Farrakhan's impending visit to Miami has rais- ed two issues in our community which the NAACP, Greater Miami Branch, and American Jewish Congress feel compelled to ad- dress," the joint statement declares. "Our shared experiences with oppression have taught us the im- portance of the First Amend- ment's guarantee of free speech. We know only too well that when anyone's right to speak is stifled, sooner or later our speech will be stifled. For this reason Mr. Far- rakhan must be given his forum. "However, we also have learned from our histories the importance of challenging bigotry from whatever quarter it may arise. We are, therefore, obligated to con- demn Louis Farrakhan for the virulent racism, bigotry, and anti- Semitism he espouses and incites. It is our fervent hope that other responsible communal organiza- tions and individuals in our com- munity will join with us." In a separate action earlier in September, the Miami Commis- sion formally denounced Far- rakhan "for his racial divisiveness." TRENTON, N.J. (JTA) - Plans by the Ku Klux Klan to hold rallies here, in Newark, and in Oxford (Warren County) later this month have been called off by New Jersey's KKK leader, Richard Bondira, following threats by the New York-based Jewish Defense Organization (JDO) to "destroy the Klan." Bondira, 34, who resides in the rural community of Oxford and is a write-in candidate for governor of New Jersey, said he cancelled plans for the rallies because he did not want to "jeopardize the life, limb, property or safety of anyone" in the face of anyone "whose answer to everything is kill," a reference to the JDO. MORDECHAI LEVY, JDO leader, had warned that he would bring "tough Jews" who would be "legally armed" for "death to the Klan" counter-demonstrations at the three KKK planned rally sites. Levy said he was not inciting violence, only predicting it. He said that if the rallies were not called off, they "will be stopped. One doesn't permit the Klan to march anymore. One doesn't debate with the Klan anymore. One must destroy the Klan." Levy said he had applied for permits for counter- demonstrations to face the KKK "right in their own den." He said that "For everyone in a robe, there's another 100 who would like to be, but as long as they know it's an unhealthy situation, they won't be." Mayor Arthur Holland of Tren- ton had, despite public protests, remained firm in defense of Bon- dira's constitutional right to hold the rally Sept. 28, but added that it would be unwise for the KKK and the JDO to proceed with their intended actions. But Bondira called off his rally in face of the JDO threats. MAYOR Kenneth Gibson of Newark denied a request by the KKK to hold a rally on the steps of City Hall Sept. 26. He vowed that as long as he was mayor, the KKK would "never" march in New Jersey's largest city. He said he based his position as a "black man, a spokesman for my people and as mayor of Newark." An ad hoc coalition of communi- ty organizations in Newark and the JDO were among those vow- ing to hold counter- demonstrations if the KKK was allowed to rally. Reacting to Gib- son's stand, Levy said, "Thank God the mayor of Newark is a man, who in this case, had the moral strength to take a moral stand. We feel that racism and anti-Semitism are two sides of the same coin."

Miami, Florida Friday, September 27,1985 Section B ADL Affirms Farrakhan's Right To Speak, Raps Muslim Leader's Bigotry For Related Stories . See Page 1-A In a policy memorandum issued here this week, the Florida office of the Anti- Defamation League of B'nai B'rith unequivocally brands Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Black Muslim movement in the United States, "a demagogue who uses scapegoating as a primary tactic." The ADL memorandum is being circulated in anticipation of Far- rakhan's appearance as speaker at Gusman Hall in Miami on Satur- day night. It is sharply critical of Farrakhan's "rhetorical weapons (which) include anti-Semitism, racism and occasional calls to violence." The memorandum continues: "Farrakhan's views on economic matters of black self- determination, which some may find reasonable, in no way cure or excuse his anti-Semitism and racism." THE ADL was to join Greater Miami United at a press con- ference on Thursday, 11:45 a.m., at the Miami Airport Hilton in an- ticipation of Farrakhan's address Saturday. In its memorandum here, the ADL notes that "Farrakhan's re- cent message provides a promise of a better life for blacks through pride and economic independence, but also provides devils to hate whites, Jews, Zionists and American society. "The message is all the more troubling because he draws large crowds and media attention, and support and sympathy from some respected elements in the black community, implying a degree of legitimacy and acceptance for a philosophy poisoned by hate." The ADL adds: "Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam (Black Muslims) remain a serious concern because of the dangers inherent in public appeals to bigotry and racism." THE MEMORANDUM, issued by Arthur Teitelbaum. Southern Area director of the ADL in Miami, emphasizes that "Far- rakhan's right to speak at. a public facility" is "unambiguous. The First Amendment's free speech guarantees properly con- trol this situation," and he has the right to speak "no matter how ob- noxious his views." But, Teitelbaum emphasizes, "The challenge to our community comes less from Farrakhan's im- pending visit, than from the re- quirement it presents for thoughtful and determined response from both leadership and ordinary citizens. A vacuum of silence could be very damaging to intergroup relations in our area; it would leave center-stage to the last responsible and most extreme elements in the community." For the ten-day period prior to Farrakhan's appearance here, the ADL has been urging individuals and groups "to give voice to their repudiation of Farrakhan's bigotry and to their commitment to intergroup harmony." EXPLAINS Teitelbaum: "We have been saying that before Far- rakhan's speech is the time for all of us to express confidence in one another and the multicultural future of our community." He warns that "the black com- munity is not monolithic. While Farrakhan has recently drawn large audiences, there are many in the black community who reject his bigotry. Those who do not, or who equivocate, are properly sub- ject to criticism."

IF ONE has ever had the privilege of celebrating Sukkoth in Israel, one cannot help but note the contrast in trying to celebrate it here. Nevertheless, there is a supreme value in celebrating this ancient holiday in the I'mted States, in the Soviet 1'nion. in Germany. France and wherever Jews live. Many nations and people are ac- customed to harvest festivals. After the harvest is in. (Treat celebrations take place There :> music, dancing, and moments of high revelry which we might bet ter leave undiseussed With the crops in barn and silo, the farmer is feeling mellow.

WHILE Ol'R laws of totiajtol prohibit a man from im- poverishing his family for the sake of Utdakak, nevertheles^ makes plain to us that the aid maxim. "Charity btgtnl at home." :s not the only priority by which one car. live.

Charity that begins at home and ends at home is simply ar. euphemistic way of describing selfishness Sukkoth flies in the face of selfishness, bringing to us a MBM of the greatness of God's blessings with which he showers us. and x- vites us to share those blessings with others.

Abraham and Gertrud Kaluski of Miami Beach have established a 10,000 tree forest in the Jewish National Fund Martyrs Forest in Israel. The forest is in memory of the 13 members of their family who perished in the Holocaust. "On the memorial marker in the JNF Martyrs Forest appears the names of 13 members of the Kaluski family who perished at the hands of the Nazis. The trees represent life and strength and beauty and will live forever," Abraham Kaluski said. The Kaluskis delegated their son, Jerry Kaluski. of California, who with his wife, children and grandchildren traveled to Israel to make the dedication. They were joined by the Kaluskis daughter, son-in-law and children. "Our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren have ex- perienced a very moving and thrilling association with the past. To commemorate the loss of 13 aunts, uncles and cousins is not an easy experience, but their memory is now carved on the land of Israel forever, and the plaque bearing the testimony is eternal proof that they lived on this earth, and the roots of the trees in the State of Israel will bind the Jewish people together in freedom. The trees will bloom and will add to the growth, and strength of Israel, and this is what we wanted to achieve," the Kaluskis added. Marker at the site of the Abraham and Gertrud Kaluski Forest in the Jewish National Fund Martyrs Forest lists thirteen members of the Kaluski Family who perished in the Holocaust.

LENDER'S AND PHILLY, A BREAKFAST TRADITION SINCE 1927 For nearly 60 years sitting down to breakfast of Lenders Bagels and PHILADELPHIA BRAND Cream Cheese has been a delicious tradition. Recognized as the first name in bagels since 1927, the Lender family still person- ally supervises the baking of their bagels-guaranteeing that every variety has a taste and texture second to none. In just minutes, Lenders Bagels toast up crispy on the out- side and soft and chewy on the inside, ready to be spread with either plain PHILLY or one of the tempting fruit or vegetable flavors. And because PHILLY has half the calories of butter or mar- garine, you can enjoy this satisfying combination every day. And, of course, both are certified Kosher. So if you want to enjoy a tradition tomorrow, pick up the Lender's and Soft PHILLY today. 1985 Krai, inc KRAFT JO- I Page 6-B The Jewish Floridian/Friday, September 27, 1985 Happenings Sisterhood of the Sephardic Jewish Center of North Miami Beach will celebrate the "13" Birthday on Saturday night, Oct. 5 at 9 p.m. Harmony Lodge B'nai B'rith No. 2463 will hold a breakfast meeting with Burnett Roth as speaker on Sunday, at 9:30 a.m. at Pythian Hall, North Miami Beach.

Moses opens with a call to heaven and earth to witness his declaration. From the beginning of time, Moses asserts, the Lord had chosen Israel for a special place among the nations of the world. He had first singled out Israel in the desert, whence he lovingly led them into the land of Canaan. But Israel, Moses prophesies, would abandon their God for foreign idols. Then God would send a cruel nation to enslave and torment the children of Israel. Eventually however, God would have compassion on His beloved people and wreak vengeance on Israel's tormentors. All the nations would then behold how the Lord had avenged the blood of His servants and had made expiation for the land of His people. At God's command, Moses prepares to ascend mount Nebo, in the land of Moab. From there at a distance he is to glimpse the Promised Land and die; as Aaron had died at mount Hor. "Because ye trespassed against Me in the midst of the children of Israel at the waters of Meribathkadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified Me not in the midst of the children of Israel" (Deuteronomy SS.51).

Leaders 'Regret' Criticism Of Trip Voiced by Shamir NEW YORK (JTA) - Theodore Mann and Henry Siegman, president and executive director, respectively, of the ' American Jewish Congress, ex- pressed "regret" over the sharp criticism voiced by Israel's Foreign Minister and Deputy Premier Yitzhak Shamir in Jerusalem of a recent AJCongress mission to Cairo and Amman, and of the visit to Moscow by Edgar Bronfman, president of the World Jewish Congress. The AJCongress and WJC are separate organizations. Mann and Siegman said, in a statement released here, that they "doubt very much that this criticism serves the interests of Israel or the Jewish people." They stressed, however, that they were not responding to Shamir's critical remarks per se but to "an issue of principle that he raised, namely his assertion that 'Jewish organizations ought not to under- take political work except when israel asks them to.' ' "THIS POSITION we find as tounding," their statement said, "for it assumes a,complete lack of independence on the part of Jewish communities and Jewish life everywhere. We understand the need to consult with Israeli leaders on issues that affect them. In fact we consulted with them with respect to this mission . I' However, there is an important distinction between consultation and instruction. As American citizens, we do not take instruc- tion, even from respected friends in Israel." The statement added: "The commitment of the American Jewish Congress to the well-being and security of Israel is un- qualified. We do not believe that this commitment requires Jewish organizations to compromise their independence. There will always be differences in a democratic society about the wisdom and ef- ficacy of specific actions and policies. "We are confident that Jewish life can cope with the stresses that are caused by such differences . We are equally convinced that Jewish life could be seriously im- poverished and Jewish interests everywhere seriously damaged if its free and democratic character were to be stifled and repressed."

IUSE of the steep rise in iber of American Jewish- intermarriages from tian 6 percent of all mar- involving a Jewish partner Brcent in Washington, D.C. alone this year the ' of parevehs has multiplied entially. Parevehs "now (r between 400,000 to ), and their numbers are ig rapidly," according to Igon Mayer, professor of ^gy at Brooklyn College, he author of "Love and ^ion: Marriage Between rid Christians." [current statistical popula- ends continue, it is not in- Ivable that by the year 2050, Ascendants of Jewish-Gentile narriages will constitute a group of American Jews," Mayer. I Cowan, author of "An Or- . In History: Retrieving A ph Legacy," explains that his I intermarriage led to his in- kment with Pareveh and a 1 that he is writing about the Pen of these marriages. "The fen of Jewish-Gentile inter- riages are the children of the ferican melting pot," Cowan es, "but the dream of their Jewish and Gentile ancestors has resulted in perplexing dilemmmas for many of the descendants of these intermarriages." Parevehs face both internal and external identity conflicts. Robin Margolis, executive director of Pareveh, and the Jewish daughter of an intermarriage, finds that "for every pareveh who identifies as a Jew or a Christian, or posesses firm dual secular or religious indentities, there are numerous others who suffer from severe feelings of displacement and detachment." These individuals "become the new 'lost tribes' of Judaism, and Judaism's loss does not translate into gains for Christianity or other cultures. They are cut adrift," Margolis says. THE EXTERNAL challenges confronting parevehs are equally acute. Pareveh's Washington representative, Leslie Goodman- Malamuth, discovered that some segments of the Jewish communi- ty welcome parevehs, while other Jewish groups are ambivalent or indifferent. "The Christians con- sider it a mitzvoh to convert us, but there's no room there for our Jewish roots," she notes. Both Margolis and Goodman- Malamuth are familiar with other problems facing parevehs: family pressure to conceal a side of their dual heritage; questions about how to celebrate holidays and such rites of passage as naming ceremonies, confirmations, mar- riages, and funerals; and exposure to Christian anti-Semitism. Status as a pareveh also ag- gravates citizenship problems. Parevehs in the Soviet Union are frequently legally classified as Jewish nationals and share in the misfortunes of Soviet Jewry, while parevehs in Israel are not always classified as Jews, and thus face ambiguous citizenship status. Yet these myriad problems can and do inspire numerous creative solutions. Whether they identify as Jews, Christians, or secularists, parevehs can achieve a sense of place if these adult children of intermarriage and their parents begin work on pro- jects designed to create construc- tive dialogue and change on pareveh identity and status issues within the Jewish, Christian, and other major cultural and religious communities. PAREVEH'S convenors en- courage a multiplicity of view- points within the organization. The Cowans, for example, are raising their two parevehs as Jews. And Lee Gruzen, author of "Raising Your Jewish/Christian Child, Celebration of Wise Choices," is giving her two young parevehs "a rich exposure to both religions." One of Pareveh's major goals will be assisting its members in exploring the positive aspects of their experiences. "I feel very for- tunate to be the child of a Jewish- Gentile intermarriage," Marjrolis comments. "While I identify firm- ly as a Jew, I do experience great pleasure in being able to unders- tand and inhabit two different worlds." Margolis thinks that many parevehs share this feeling, "because we're living bonds bet- ween two ancient religious and ethinic cultures." She hopes that parevehs will become "inter- preters between their two paren- tal worlds, working to end centuries-old misunderstandings, prejudices and hatreds." I** e -.<-.

With a substantial portion of these Jews now living in Greater Miami, the need for addi- tional human services within our Jewish community has expanded rapidly. This large and sudden in- crease in the Jewish population here, accompanied by the greater need for services, has significant implications for our community's future. In the span of nearly half a cen- tury, since our Federation was founded, the Greater Miami Jewish community has grown almost ten- fold. Federation's 1985 CJA/IEF Campaign raised nearly $23 million, almost 225 times the amount raised by its first campaign. We have con- fronted many challenges, achieved many goals and we have continued to grow. As Federation's fiftieth anniver- sary approaches, this is a time for celebration but also a time for in- trospection. It has been said that yesterday is the past and today is the future. Our actions today can make a difference for the rest of our lives and for the lives of future generations. When I travel to other Jewish communities, I am proud to say that I use Miami as a yardstick to measure their accomplishments. As a community, we have progressed remarkably and in a very short period of time. Not only have we reached out to all segments of our own Jewish community with pro- gramming designed to fulfill a wide variety of human needs, but we have also maintained a high profile nationally, maintaining our position in the forefront of Jewish com- munities nationwide. We can all be very proud of the many wonderful things we have achieved as a Federation and as a community over the past 47 years. We have much to celebrate in our past, and by examining how our community has progressed to reach this point, we can realize even greater achievements in the years to come. Our people's tradition has kept us together for thousands of years. This is because we have based our actions on the belief that we have a responsibility to our fellow Jews; this is a basic component of our col- lective identity. And Federation is a mirror of that collective Jewish identity. Through Federation, we come together as one prople to help each other and to perpetuate our heritage and our ideals. It is not only the financial con- tributions of our community's members that help Federation, our community and our people to sur- vive and grow. It is the caring and participation of each of us reaching out to help one another that truly makes us one. As a people, we have a rich and glorious past, and the very key to our survival has been our ability to join together for the fulfillment of our common goals and ideals. Our community has been blessed with many devoted leaders who have helped build agencies which have enriched the quality of Jewish life. These leaders invested their energies and resources not only for the present but, just as important- ly, for the future. Although they were concerned with immediate needs, they had the foresight to plan for the growth we have been witnessing in recent years. They knew that their actions or their failure to act would have an ef- fect for many years to come. We are at an important stage in our development as a strong and vital Jewish community. We have come to live in Greater Miami from all corners of this country and from throughout the world. We have become part of one of the fastest growing Jewish communities in the United States. With this growth comes many new responsibilities. Federation's primary goal has always been fulfilling human needs. We aspire to serve all segments of our Jewish community with responsive and caring programs to improve the quality of life for all of our com- munity's members. During 1985 we have made significant progress toward meeting both the human service needs in Miami and also those of our brothers and sisters in Israel and in 31 Jewish communities throughout the world. We have taken great strides forward in every area of Jewish life: Jewish education, care for the elderly, social development programs for our youth and cultural and com- munity awareness programs, to name a few. We continually strengthen our partnership with the State of Israel and we have built bridges which span the full spectrum of the Jewish experience in Miami and wherever Jewish life flourishes. We must continue to shoulder the weighty responsibility of determin- ing which priorities will be address- ed by our Jewish community and which programs will be im- plemented and maintained to help perpetuate our people and our ideals. Our accomplishments have been many, and we must now determine how to use our strengths and talents to handle the challenges which lie ahead. Samuel I. Adler President It is with a great sense of wonder that I sometimes pause to absorb the realization that our Federation has been a part of our Greater Miami Jewish community for just 47 years. We can be very proud about Federation's stunning accomplishments within those 47 years, and if I were to attempt to chronicle all of them, it would seem inconceivable that all could have been achieved in such a relatively short period of time. Within the past year, our Federa- tion added to its proud legacy by helping more people than ever before. Our achievements in 1984-85 are the result of the efforts of our community leaders and a corps of dedicated volunters, all of whom were committed to meeting the essential needs of the Jewish people here in Greater Miami, in Israel and worldwide. During 1985 our appeal received an unprecedented response. Through the generosity of our com- munity, the Combined Jewish Appeal-Israel Emergency Fund received a record $22,750,000, while the Project RenewalOr Akiva campaign raised more than $700,000. Added to this was our special campaign on behalf of Israel's newest citizens, the thousands of Ethiopian Jews who finally reached their Biblical homeland through Operation Moses. We raised in excess of $1 million during this extraordinary ef- fort. All together, we raised well in excess of $24 million! The dollars that we raised are just a single measure of our com- munity's concern for the continuing welfare of our people. There is so much more that we do which simp- ly cannot be represented in dollars and cents. The traditions that we cherish, the heritage that we hold so dear, is personified in every one of us. Through the efforts of Federa- tion's leadership, we continued to meet the challenges of Jewish life in the 1980s. Federation's Planning and Budgeting Committee has mov- ed to implement the recommenda- tions of the Long Range Planning Study, adopted by the Federation Board of Directors a year ago. Our Women's Division is a national trend setter. In addition to achieving a record campaign with gifts totaling in excess of $4 million, the Women's Division continuously offers quality pro- grams through high-caliber leader- ship. These innovative programs help to communicate Federation's vital mission to countless individuals. The Community Relations Committee (CRC) educates our Jewish community and the general public on a number of critical issues including Soviet Jewry, Middle East relations and domestic concerns. And the CRC has made significant progress in combatting the pernicious influence of cults and missionary groups through a variety of outreach and awareness programs. Another source of pride for our Federation has been the ambitious programming oriented toward future leaders for the Jewish com munity of Greater Miami. This pa.c. July, we inauguarated the Young Leadership Council, a new entitj which will address many aspects of Jewish communal life. In South Dade, we are experienc- ing a rapid growth in the Jewish population. The South Dade Branch of Federation provides quality programming to meet the needs of this vibrant and dynamic- community. Building upon its past successes of broad based campaign and educational awareness pro- grams, the South Dade Branch serves as a major resource for the Jewish community for all of Dade County. The Foundation of Jewish Philan- thropies also plays a vital role in shaping the future of our communi- ty. With its assets having crested $30 million, the Foundation offers individuals unique opportunities to help meet a wide variety of Jewish needs which might otherwise not received support. And the Founda- tion, through prudent and fiscally sound investments, has charted a course which will provide our Jewish community with a signifi- cant resources base as we prepare for life in the 21st century. I have always been proud of that fact that Miami has been a leader among Jewish communities in the United States. In fact, over the past five years, our Combined Jewish Appeal-Israel Emergency Fund campaign has seen a percen- tage increase in giving which is first among large city federations. We have achieved this because we do accept our responsibility as givers and as askers. We must remember that an op- portunity to give is also an oppor- tunity to receive. What we receive is reassurance that we have met our obligation to sustain a life which is dignified for all Jews. It is a simple premise, and it is one which is a principle tenet of the Federation philosophy. Our collec- tive sense of commitment to each other truly defines us as a com- munity of Jews which prospers greatly in a spirit of unity. My l>est wishes to all of you in the year ahead. Myron J.

Philanthropic Funds The majority of these assets, or $30.6 million, exists in philan- thropic funds. 165 of which have been created by donors since the in- ception of the Foundation 13 years ago. Many important supporters of the Jewish community have created these funds at a time of significant financial transactions in their per- sonal lives or those of businesses in which they are involved. By gifting assets, a charitable deduction may be taken in the year of the gift and capita] gains taxes are avoided. In the 1984-85 fiscal year. 10 new philanthropic funds were created and assets of approximately $1.26 million were added to these and ex- isting funds. Philanthropic Fund Distributions During the 1984-85 fiscal year, $1.56 million was distributed to a wide variety of local and national charitable institutions. While most allocations from philanthropic funds are directed to Jewish organiza- tions, many local non-sectarian agencies, such as the United Way of Dade County, have also been recipients of such grants. Continuing a long-time partner- ship between the Federation cam- paign and the Foundation, $4.8 million was allocated from philan- thropic funds in 1984-8f>. In December 1984. in an attempt to provide as much cash as possible to the Combined Jewish Appeal/Israel Kmergency Fund, philanthropic fund donors suggested distributions totalling $961,000 to the campaign. Philanthropic fund donors also responded generously to the re- quest of the community to support "Operation Moses," the United Jewish Appeal's effort to rescue and resettle Jewish Ethiopians. Jewish Community Trust Fund The Jewish Community Trust Fund (JCTF), which represents the only unrestricted endowment of the Greater Miami Jewish community, has grown significantly over the past years. Testamentary gifts pro- vided by caring individuals added $901,000 to this fund in 1984-85.

The committee follows the rule that a "prudent fiduciary" must be exercised in selecting investments, and it has been successful in maximizing in- come while maintaining the safety of principal values. The committee has seen fit to invest in United States Treasury Securities, various agencies of the Federal Govern- ment and certificates of deposit. A substantial investment in floating- rate Israel Bonds is also held. Dur- ing the past year the average yield of investments was 10 percent. Significant Events Over the last year, the Founda- tion's Women's Committee has con- ducted a number of special pro- grams for women. A financial seminar in the Fall of 1984 featured speakers on financial plan- ning and investments. In June, a first-of-its-kind reception was hosted by Burdines Mayfair for those women who have made a commitment to the future of the Jewish community. Women who had signed a letter of intent or pro- vided for other gifts to the Founda- tion were treated to a fashion show and wine and cheese reception. Another significant event has l>een the expansion and restructur- ing of the Foundation's Legal and Tax Committee. Now known as the Professional Advisory Committee, this important arm of the Founda- tion is chaired by Martin Kalb, pro- minent tax attorney with the law firm of Greenberg, Traurig et al. This year the committee has made an effort to involve professionals in the areas of insurance, finance and real estate. The Foundation continues to be grateful for the participation of many talented people in the com- munity who contribute through various committees to the growth and management of the Jewish community's endowment fund.

"The only stuff I want you to leave out," Izzy said, "are those things on which the statute of limitations never runs." Of course, the only crime with no end, with no statute of limitations, is murder. But I didn't spell this out for the audience. All I said was that I asked Izzy why he would care about the statute at his funeral. "Very good!" Izzy said. But minutes later he told me to leave it out anyway. I asked why. He said, "Suppose they don't accept me there, suppose they send me back? Do I need to walk into the hands of Frank Hogan with a confession on my back? All my life I took the Fifth, what am I gonna get stupid now that I'm dead? Forget about it!" THE JOINT cracked up. The rabbi was not close to the wall. By the time I finished laying out the no-longer indictable highlights of my friend's colorful life, the rabbi was looking for secret exits. But no good! He had to get back and say the final prayer for the deceased. "Be of good faith," he said, his fifty-G voice now down to a sawbuck. "If he isn't bound up with the Eternal, he'll be safe elsewhere." The rabbi had consigned Izzy to limbo, and when our conversation turned to politics again Jewish and otherwise Zion allowed that he wasn't so sure American Jews weren't caught in a limbo of their own, somehwere between security and being sold down the river. Zion has a more than healthy dose of cynicism about America's bottom-line commitment to Israel. "It's a fragile commitment," he says, "despite all the nice words." I tell him he sounds like he is contradicting himself. Earlier, he had said that Jews are paranoid and there is no need to fear anti- Semitism. Yet now, he is saying that the national commitment to Israel is tenous. "Let me think this through," Zion says slowly, dead-serious now, "because I want to get it right." After a moment's silence, he responds: "if there was a real commitment, why do Jews only win the exhibition games? he asks, citing numerous instances in recent years when both Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan were inconsistent in their support of Israel. "IT'S IDOLATRY for Jews to have political heroes inthheoun- trv says Zion, who notes that his only American political hero is Thomas Paine, the Revolutionary War-period idealist whose Com- mon Sense was a "great book but thev wiped him out of American history-Lincoln was also on my list but I admire him less as I read him more." When it comes to 20th Century politicians, Zion has kind words only for Paul O'Dwyer a former New York City Counc.lman, for whom he named J^*ft son, Jedd O'Dwyer Zion. He s a fine man-in fact, he president of the Tom Paine Society, the best job in the world but he loves Jesse Jackson too much." Zion says that the Bible and history have taught Jews not to put their trust in any politician. "I can make demands on them even though I don't for a minute exect them to fulfill those demands," he says, explaining, in a way, his ability to balance his idealism and skepticism. "I can't be detached about anything," he acknowledges. "You can't lose your passion. You just gotta keep your sense of humor or you'll go nuts. It's never as bad or as good as it looks, but you've got to keep trying and making your point. Right now, our civil liberties are in a crisis in this country, our schools aren't educating anyone, but no one's getting mad, no one's shrying 'gevalt.' " And if it's true in general, it's especially true for Jewish life, Zion believes. "The great tradi- tion of bawling out the Jews seems to have ended with the Pro- phets," he says, "but the Lord knows we still need it." NEW YORK Israel's Am- bassador to the United Nations has warned Jewish leaders in New York of a new attack on the Jewish state during the upcoming General Assembly session. The campaign will seek to link Israel with South Africa and support for its apartheid policy. Ambassador Benjamin Netanyahu told members of the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, "The line that we are now hearing is that there is a 'New Strategic Triangle' which includes South Africa, the United States and Israel. We can be sure that numerous resolutions of condem- nation will be put forward in this year's General Assembly session directed at all three members of this fictitious alliance." "THE FACT of the matter is," Netanyahu observed, "Israel has a longstanding policy of firm op- position to apartheid." The Ambassador noted that Prime Minister Shimon Peres recently outlined Israel's stance in what is now an official UN docu- ment that has been distributed to all UN missions. According to Netanyahu, the document was not published in order to exempt Israel, "but simp- ly reiterate our utter disdain for apartheid and what it represents." The position paper reflects what Netanyahu and his predecessors have clearly stated in UN speeches and documents for many years. Netanyahu went on to challenge the often-stated accusation that Israel is the "mighty empire that sustains South Africa from afar." "On the contrary," he said, "Israel's trade with South Africa is dwarfed in comparison with the business conducted between South Africa and the Arab nations." THE AMBASSADOR produc- ed International Monetary Fund and United Nations statistics which showed that while South Africa's trade with Israel totalled $110 million in 1984, its trade with the Persian Gulf states in oil alone amounted to a minimun of $1.5 billion, or close to 15 times Israel's trade figures. In addition. Netanyahu revealed that an estimated 75 percent or more of all tonnage arriving at South Africa ports, in violation of the UN imposed ban, came from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other Arab countries. In contrast, Israel's trade represents less than 0.5 percent of South Africa's total trade figures. "Jewish leadership must make these findings available," Netanyahu asserted, "not only in preparation for the UN General Assembly but because this is an issue that is going to dominate the agenda for some time." MALCOLM HOENLEIN, the JCRC executive director, underscored the importance of providing accurate information to the Jewish community on Israeli relations with South Africa. "We see evidence that those who seek to attack and discredit Israel, use the issue of relations with South Africa as a cover. The facts speak for themselves and must be made available to the broadest public possible. This is also a blatant attempt to link Zionism with racism by enemies of Israel and the Jewish people. The charges are spurious and cannot be allowed to go unanswered," Hoenlein said. $500 publix Gift Certificate With Each New Subscription 1 Year 52 Issues 81 GOO 18 A Check Must Accompany Order As A New Subscriber To The Jewish Floridian, I Accept Your Introductory Offer.

New York Times columnist Anthony Lewis, he said, "never writes about how terrible it is when Arabs kill Arabs or blacks kill blacks because he ex- pects them to, and that's racism. Everyone blamed Israel for the Sabra and Shatila massacres because people felt Lebanon is a zoo, and the Israelis are the caretakers and hey, you let the animals kill each other, you let it happen. But that's not the point. If vou care about human rights, you've got to care about everyone and you've got to scrutinize everyone. Believe me, the double standard is alive and well." Zion applies those same stan- dards to Israel. If it is wrong to mix church and state in the U.S., he said, it's wrong in Israel as well. "The setp-up over there is a fake," he says. "Israel is a theocracy run by atheists." HE HAS much harsher words for American Jewish leaders, believing that the myriad U.S. Jewish organizations are not only useless: they are dangerous. "The organizations don't do us any good," he said. "I resent them because they only get us in trou- ble" with the concept of "spokesmen" for the Jewish community. He calls the members, of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations "court Jews" who stand "hat in hand" in the corridors of power. Quoting Ben Hecht, Zion adds that the trouble with American Jewish leaders is that they always salute those who do not deign to return their salute. Zion has visceral dislike of FDR, Harry Truman and Adlai Steven- son, all of whom he regards as and-Jewish. He cannot tolerate those who defend them by citing their attributes or ac- complishments."! hate it when people say, 'Yes, Rooseyelt didn't save the Jews of Europe, but on the other hand he did this or he did that,' says Zion,; his voice rising. "To me, there is no other hand. What other hand? Would people say, 'Well Huey Long fan a racist but he built nice highways.' That's intolerable." , ZION'S INTERESTS clearly put Jews first. He has no problem acknowledging that i fact. "Dual loyalty is not a false issue," he says, "because there i.s dual loyal- ty among American Jews and we shouldn't be afraid i of it. I love America more thanJ love Israel, but I love Jewsi more than anything else." He also loves the work he does, and it's hard to believe that he wasn't born to be: a journalist, having chanced upon his writing career at the age of 29. Let Zion explain how he got into the newspaper business because he tells it best. "When I tried criminal cases as a kid lawyer in New Jersey," he writes in his long introduction to "Read All About It," a collection of some of his best reporting, "I noticed that my clients had cer- tain things in common. All of them were broke, all of them were innocent, and when asked how come the cops put the grab on them, they all said, 'I dunno, I wasn't doin' nothin' I was just standing around.' "I give the same answer to peo- ple who wonder how I got to be a newspaperman." A native of Passaic, N.J. with a strong Jewish identity that he calls the flip-side of Philip Roth "the idea of being ashamed of one's Jewish heritage was beyond the pale" Zion graduated from Yale Law School and became a _____ _________ Zion asserts that Israel gained statehood not because of the United Nations, Harry Truman or world guilt, but because of the revolutionary war fought against the British by Begin and the Irgun. criminal attorney, with plans to become a trial lawyer. BUT HIS LIFE changed late on a December night in 1962, only a few days before his wedding, when journalist Victor Navasky, a buddy of his from Yale Law School, asked Zion to write a parody of columnist Murray Kempton for a special parody of the New York Post which at the time was closed by a newspaper strike, as were the other dailies in New York. A newspaper buff and admirer of Kempton, Zion agreed. His piece was such a big hit that the Post's managing editor, Al Davis, offered him a job. Zion was stunned. "Of course, I dismissed the idea," he later wrote. "Of course, ten minutes later I called Al Davis. The secret Navasky spot- ted was that I wanted to be Ben Hecht long before I wanted to be Clarence Darrow." Zion hooked up with the Post, which he describes as right out of Ben Hecht's Front Page, and was soon exposed to "the dirtiest secret of journalism: Self- Censorship." Some of Zion's best work for the Post ended up "on the spike" (unpublished), like his expose on the 1964 New York World's Fair, proving it would be a financial disaster. Everything he'd predicted came true but his series never ran because the Fair's organizers advertised heavily in the Post. A YEAR LATER, Zion was hired by "the uptown lady," the New York Times, where he work- ed for almost five years, loving every minute of it. ("I never work- ed for the Times," he wrote, "I was a kid on a carousel.") But Zion grew restless. He resigned from the Times in 1969, on his 36th birthday, to start his own magazine, Scanlan's Monthly, now best remembered for how it ended a little more than a year later. Zion and his partner, Warren Hinckle, whom he describes as "the eye-patched, bad-boy editor of Ramparts," a left-wing magazine, had decided to launch a big, brassy muckraking monthly that would set the journalism world on its ear. But Scanlan's had troubles form day one. Printers refused to print it, distributors wouldn't distribute it. Only later did Zion find out, courtesy of John Dean's memoirs, that Richard Nixon himself had ordered Dean, then counsel to the President, to go after Scanlan's in part because it had published a memo from Vice President Agnew that referred to Rand Cor- poration studies to cancel the 1972 national elections and repeal the Bill of Rights. SCANLAN'S continued to go after the Nixon Administration the magazine ran an "Impeach Nixon" cover long before Watergate and the Administra- tion continued to go after Scanlan's, putting the IRS on the backs of the magazine's promoters. The Administration won. Scanlan's lasted only eight issues, but Zion says he is proud of them and he's never looked back. The next chapter of Zion's life is one of the most unpleasant for him, but it's the part he's best remembered for. Indeed, as Zion notes, his obituary will probably label him as the man who "fingered" Daniel Ellsberg in the Pentagon Papers. It all came about because of a gentleman's bet Zion made with his newspaper colleagues. In June, 1971, soon after Scanlan's folded, Zion was work- ing on a piece for the Sunday New York Times Magazine and, while in the newsroom, word came that a federal judge had issued a tem- porary order restraining the Times from continuing publication of the Pentagon Papers, which had begun two days earlier. Zion, with typical bravado, told his bud- dies he'd find out by the next day what everyone wanted to know: namely, who leaked the Papers to the Times. AFTER ONLY a few well- placed calls the next morning, Zion came up with the name "Daniel Ellsberg" and he confirm- ed it with two sources. Realizing he had a hot story and no one to sell it to he was freelancing at the time Zion went on a popular New York talk radio show that night and named Ellsberg as the source of the famous leak. The story made the front pages across the country but the world of jour- nalism called him "immoral" for naming Ellsberg, a hero to all those who were against the Viet- nam War. Zion was blacklisted by the New York Times he was told not to set foot in the building as well as a number of magazines and newspapers for which he had writ- ten. One newspaper at the time described him as "the most despised man in the American press."

Florida 33415 CALL (305) 964-2828 To Zion, the press was acting like a bunch of jealous hypocrites. After all, he was only doing his job, going after a hot story. He reasons that his colleagues turned on him because he wasn't working for any particular paper at the time and they were upset that he "scooped" them. In any event, about a year later, while holding court at his usual spot at Sardi's bar one night, Zion was approach- ed by Abe Rosenthal, his former boss at the Times, who had been avoiding him ever since the Ellsberg story. This night Rosenberg muttered genug in Yid- dish to Zion ("enough") and in- vited him to have a drink. AFTER THAT the writing market eased a bit, but Zion still found the going tough enough to go back to practicing law. When Pete Hamill wrote a full column apology to Zion in the Post, where he had attacked him, Zion sent him a wire: "I assume this is the start of a series." Hamill's column ended with a plea for the blacklist to stop but it didn't until the Sun- day New York Times Magazine gave Zion an assignment in 1977 to profile New York sports businessman Mike Burke. It became a cover story, marking Zion's reentry to the Times Magazine after almost a decade. Soon after, Rupert Murdoch took over New York magazine and the Post and hired Zion to write a column for the Post. He was later canned he still doesn't know why and immediately hired as a columnist for New York magazine. In the fall of 1978, Zion teamed up with his friend Uri Dan, a leading Israeli journalist, to do a behind-the-scenes story on the Camp David peace accords. The New York Times Sunday Magazine decided to run their story, 20,000 words, as a two- parter, though Zion was furious to learn that rather than being a cover story it would only get a "FUNNY AND ENTERTAINING!''
