Si " Price 50 Cents Better Than in U.S. Demjanjuk's Family Praises His Treatment John Demjanjuk NEW YORK (JTA) - The family of John Demjan- juk, the Ukrainian-born autoworker accused of sen- ding thousands of Jews to their deaths at the Nazis' Treblinka death camp, has praised the treatment he is receiving from Israeli authorities. According to the World Jewish Congress, the Ukrainian- American press is giving exten- sive coverage to the recently com- pleted visit by Demjanjuk's family to Ramla prison, where Demjan- juk has been held since his extradi- tion from the United States on Feb. 28. THE CURRENT issue of The Ukrainian Weekly, for example reports that Demjanjuk's son-in- law, Edward Nishnic, told the newspaper that Demjanjuk "is treated well," adding that he "looked tanned and fit" and "is well, both physically and psychologically." Demjanjuk's daughter Irene agreed that her father looked "robust." According to Nishnic, Demjan- juk is actually receiving better treatment in Israel than he did in the United States. He cited the fact that Demjanjuk, who has been identified by survivors and by a former SS man as Treblinka's infamous "Ivan the Terrible," is allowed into the prison courtyard for an hour each day. At the federal penitentiary in Springfield, Mo., Demjanjuk had been held for a full year without being allowed outside, Nishnic said. During their visit to Israel, Demjanjuk's family held what they characterized as "amiable" meetings with Israeli officials. Israeli prison regulations ordinari- ly allow families a 30-minute visit with prisoners once a week. However, in light of what a prison spokesman called "the special cir- cumstances" of Demjanjuk's case, his family was granted two-hour visits, twice a week. Europe Awaits Palestinian Influx By HENRIETTE BOAS AMSTERDAM (JTA) Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians may soon pour into Western Europe re- questing asylum like the current wave of Sri Lankan Tamils, according to former Dutch parliamentarian Jan Nico Scholten. Scholten's comments are con- tained in a report on the absorp- tion of refugees he presented in his capacity as chairman of the Netherlands Society for Refugees (WN). In the report, the former parliamentarian said that coun- tries which have taken in Palesti- nians in the Middle East are now increasingly less prepared to ac- commodate them. FOR SAUDI ARABIA, the drop in oil prices has prompted authorities to refuse permanent residence to Palestinians and other foreigners who had been fortunate enough to find employ- ment there. Lebanon is no longer prepared to admit Palestinian refugees and Syria, too. has become increasingly unattractive. Scholten said the only possibili- ty remaining open to the Palesti- nians is Western Europe. So far, Continued on Page 2-A Armand Hammer: Only Quiet Diplomacy Will Work With Soviets Waldheim Affair Behind the Souring Of Israel, Austria By SHELDON KIRSHNER VIENNA (JTA) Un- til the fierce controversy [engendered by Kurt I Waldheim's wartime record j broke into print, Israel and j Austria had been quietly im- | proving their relationship. Under the leadership of former Chancellor Bruno Kreisky, [Austria adopted an activist Middle East policy, championing the [rights of the Palestinians and [becoming the first Western Euro- pean country to recognize the LO. During this turbulent period, Austria was critical of a whole range of Israeli policies, and Kreisky a Jew by birth but a Socialist and an atheist by convic- tion was often in the vanguard of lambasting the administration of Menachem Begin, a man he also scorned on a personal level. AFTER KREISKYS retire ment three years ago, and his suc- cession by Fred Sinowatz, whose interest in the Middle East was minimal compared to that of his predecessor, the climate in Israeli- Austrian relations improved. Continued on Page 11-A By HUGH ORGEL TEL AVIV (JTA) - American oil magnate Ar- mand Hammer said here that he was convinced that only quiet diplomacy would open the doors of the Soviet Union to Russian Jewry emigration. Hammer, who was to meet Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in Moscow this week, was speak- ing to reporters after receiving an honorary degree from Tel Aviv University. He said he intended speaking to Gorbachev about permitting direct flights from Moscow to Tel Aviv to bring Soviet Jewish im- migrants directly to Israel. "We want to stem the dropping out, so that Soviet Jews wall see how Israel prospers before they make irrevocable decisions about settl- ing elsewhere," he said. HAMMER, 88, has been deal- ing with every Soviet leader since Lenin. He noted that the Soviets had permitted over 51,000 Jews to leave in one year 1979 when the Carter Administration was pursuing its detente policy. He said that Hungarian leaders had recently mentioned the feasibility of flights for Soviet Jews via Budapest to Israel. He said he had also heard Bucharest mentioned as a possible transit point. Hammer said he was not taking any message from Prime Minister Shimon Peres to Gorbachev, but said he would tell the Soviet leader of Israel's strong desire for peace. Hammer said his business af- fairs in Israel would now concen- trate on oil exploration. "If there's oil here and my geologists say there is my com- pany will find it," he said. Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir, who spoke at the University ceremony, made what was regarded as one of his most conciliatory statements to date about the Soviet Union, praising its role in fighting Nazism during World War II, and stressing that the recent meeting between Soviet and Israeli officials in Continued on Page 2-A In Brazil Jews Await Elections in November Kurt Waldheim By ROCHELLE SAIDEL SAO PAULO (JTA) - As Brazil approaches its first elections in the context of "re-democratization," after more than 20 con- secutive years of rule by military dictatorship, Sao Paulo's small but vibrant Jewish community is reflec- ting on its past involvement and future role in social justice and human rights issues. Because candidates elected to the federal legislature on Nov. 15 will also be the drafters of Brazil's new Constitution, this year's elec- tions are of special significance. Brazil's Jewish community of about 150,000 could be considered insignificant in a country of 130 million. But most of the members of the Jewish community are part of Brazil's economic elite, which is only five percent of the population. EIGHTY PERCENT of the people in Brazil are completely left out of the country's economic development. Thus, the impact of the Jewish community is somewhat greater than its small Continued on Page 6-A Yitzhak Shamir Shamir Says Troops Must Stay In S. Lebanon TEL AVTV (JTA) Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir said that Premier Shimon Peres' visit to Cameroon was a "landmark of progress of renewed ties with Africa.'' He also said, during a tour of the security zone in south Lebanon where he met with Israeli soldiers serving there, "The value of the (Peres) trip is in increasing Israel's presence on the African continent. I strongly hope that additional steps will follow the present one, and that our ties with Africa will grow, as they did until now I only hope the pace will accelerate. Addi- tional progress is expected. The visit is one of the landmarks." On another matter, Shamir told the Israeli soldiers that the Syrian threat was a permanent phenomenon against which Israel must always be prepared. But he added that the Israel Defense Force would not remain in the Continued on Page 8-A Page 2-A The Jewish Floridian/Friday, September 5, 1986 After 13 Years Cameroon Resumes Ties With Israel By GIL SEDAN JERUSALEM (JTA) - President Paul Biya of Cameroon announced Tues- day (Aug. 26) that his coun- try was resuming diplomatic relations with Israel 13 years after it had severed ties after the Yom Kippur War. The announcement capped the two-day visit by Israeli Premier Shimon Peres, the first Israeli Premier to visit Cameroon since 1966. Peres and Biya held several rounds of talks on bilateral mat- ters last Monday, and on Tuesday they announced that cooperative agreements had been reached on trade, industry, agriculture, tourism and security. There was no immediate indication that agreement had been reached on Israeli military aid to Cameroon, although this issue was an ex- pected topic on the Peres-Biya agenda. AT A MEETING with reporters, Biya said that Cameroon's decision to restore ties with Israel was the result of ongoing relations between the two countries during the past few years. According to Israeli of- Only Hebrew Teacher In Cuba Has 10 Students By ROCHELLE SAIDEL NEW YORK (JTA) - Moises Asis is the only teacher of Hebrew and Judaism in Cuba today. Late last year he organized a course of Jewish studies, and 10 children currently meet with him every Sunday.

But jff the situation for the Palestinians worsened, they could come hejfe in greater numbers. Scfc^iten said that the sole Wfeans of avoiding such an influx would be for Holland to renew ef- fort* to finding a political solution to the Palestinian problem. SCHOLTEN SERVED as an MP for many years, first for the Christian Democrats and then for Labor and finally for a group con- sisting only of himself and one other parliamentarian. He failed to secure backing from any party for last May's parliamentary elec- tions. The former MP is widely viewed here as an advocate of the Palestinian cause. Asylum applications here have risen steeply from 400 in 1975 to 6,500 last year. Recently, only a small percentage of the applica- tions have been granted, but ap- plicants have the right to stay in Holland until their application has been dealt with. Quiet Diplomacy Continued from Page 1-A Helsinki had been sought by Moscow. SHAMIR NOTED that Ham- mer was unique in that he was the only person who enjoyed friend- ship with both Vladimir Lenin and Menachem Begin. Hammer said that while in the Soviet Union he would try to ob- tain data and evidence requested by Israel about suspected war criminal John Demjanjuk, believ- ed to be the notorious "Ivan the Terrible" guard at the Treblinka death camp. Hammer met before the univer- sity ceremony with Peres and reportedly discussed with him the laying of a gas pipeline between Egypt and Israel, a project in which the American oil tycoon said he intends to invest. Jewish youth, the Conference on Alternatives in Jewish Education invited Asis to its recent meeting at University of Maryland. The trip was arranged by a network of American Jewish friends, who had met Asis while on trips to Cuba, beginning in 1978. RANGING IN age from 4 to 11. Asis" students learn Hebrew, the meaning of holidays, Jewish history and symbolism. Most of the children in his class had no previous involvement with the Jewish community, Asis told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency dur- ing his visit to New York. His youngest student is his own daughter. Asis. who says his knowledge of Judaism is generally self-taught, learned Hebrew at the Zionist Union of Cuba, which existed until 1978. He continues his studies at the library of the Casa de la Com- unidad Hebrea de Cuba, a Havana communal organization which also houses a synagogue and meeting rooms. The Cuban Jewish com- munity of about 1000 has four other synagogues, all in Havana. Asis credits the Lubavitch movement with convincing local Jewish parents to have their children study Judaism. In the past one-and-a-half years there have been three visits to Havana by a Chabad Lubavitch rabbi, he said. Other rabbis from the United States, Mexico and Canada have also visited the community, which does not have its own rabbi. AT THE CAJE convention, Asis obtained materials on in- novative teaching methods, and was able to share ideas with col- leagues. He also led a workshop on Jewish life in Cuba. Asis says he would like to be able to devote more time to teaching Jewish youth. Currently an information scientist with the Ministry of Agriculture, he has free time only on Sundays. The son of a member of the Communist Party, Asis, 33, says he had no religious training at home. His interest in Judaism began with an intellectual interest in his roots, he said. His grand parenta were Sephardic Jews who came to Cuba from Turkey at the beginning of this century. Big Summer Ulpan JERUSALEM (JTA) - Israel's largest summer ulpan has opened at the Roth berg School for Overseas Students of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, with an enrollment of over 800 students from all over the world. The students come from North and South America, Western Europe, Africa and Australia, and from Thailand and other countries in the Far East. ficials. the two countries have had secret trade relations since 1981. When Biya took power in 1983. Israel was allowed to establish an interest section in Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon. Since then, Cameroon re-evaluated the situa- tion of Israeli-black African rela- tions Biya said. He noted that African nations broke relations with Israel because of its occupation of the Sinai Peninsula. However, now that Egypt and Israel have signed a peace treaty and Sinai has been returned, there is no reason for African nations not to resume relations with Israel, Biya said. CAMEROON IS the fourth black African nation after Ivory Coast, Liberia and Zaire to resume relations with Israel. Twenty-nine African countries severed ties with Israel under Arab pressure in the wake of the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Only Lesotho, Malawi and Swaziland continued relations. Israel also has "semi- diplomatic" relations, at the in- terest section level, with the states of Gabon, Ghana. Kenya and Togo. Gabon and Togo are regarded in Israel as the most likely to resume full relations soon. At a joint conference last Tues- day, at the end of Peres' visit shortly before his departure for Israel, a nine-hour flight, Biya an the Israeli Premier both condemn- ed the apartheid policy of the government of South Africa, and expressed concern over events in that country. Biya announced that he had ac- cepted an invitation by Peres to visit Israel. He thanked Israel for the speedy medical relief it ex- tended to his country following the volcanic gas explosion near Lake Nios, about 240 miles nor- theast of Yaounde, which killed an estimated 1,500 people, according to unofficial reports. PERES' VISIT to Cameroon was marked by a lavish reception tendered by Biya and by extensive greetings by thousands of Cameroonians who were at the Yaounde airport when Peres ar- rived. Some of them, who had studied in Israel previously, greeted Peres with shalom. A special issue of the Cameroon Tribune was published with Peres' picture on the front page and a headline in Hebrew saying, "Mr. Peres, Welcome to Cameroon." The Hebrew letters, however, were printed upside down. On his return to Israel, Peres sought to stop in Kenya for a public meeting with President Daniel Arap-Moi, but the Kenyan leader refused to do so, according to a report in Haaretz. ADL Prods Red Cross NEW YORK (JTA) The Anti -Defamation League of B'nai B'rith has called on the Interna- tional Red Cross to rescind its policy of non-recognition of Magen David Adorn, the Israeli equivalent of the Red Cross, because it uses a red Star of David as its symbol instead of a cross. In a letter to the DtC, ADL's na- tional chairman, Burton S. Levin- son, said that the 25th Quadren- nial International Red Cross Con- ference in Geneva in October "will be an opportunity to redress this festering injustice and accord the Magen David Adorn its rightful place among the other represen- tatives of the International League of Red Cross Societies." The West Point Jewish chapel has received the '1987 Award for Design Excellence.' An exterior view of the chapel's towering sanctuary shows that it is faced with rough hewn granite, pro- viding a powerful monumental presence in keeping with the traditional military Gothic architecture of West Point. Israel Not Imposing Prior Conditions on Soviets Peres By HUGH ORGEL TEL AVIV (JTA) - Prime Minister Shimon Peres indicated this week that Israel was not imposing conditions on the Soviet re- quest to send a consular mission to Jerusalem. Speaking to reporters during a tour of Afula, Peres said Israel is negotiating out of a sense of mutuality, which he called an ac- cepted principle in diplomacy. Asked if Israel made an Israeli consular mission to Moscow and freedom of emigration for Soviet Jews conditions for granting the Soviet consular request, Peres replied: "I don't think one should approach every negotiation with an ultimatum in his hand. It is not necessary it is mutuality, not conditional." PERES SAID Soviet negotiators "asked for some points" during their meeting Aug. 18 with Israeli negotiatorss "and we are also asking for some points. This is the normal way to negotiate." Peres and his colleagues were criticized last week by Natan Sharansky and members of the Tehiya Party, following uncon- firmed press reports that Israel was not demanding an Israeli con- sular mission to Moscow as a con- dition for receiving a Soviet mis- sion in Israel. On another matter, the Premier said that when he meets Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in Alex- andria, he would take "three no's" with him. He was referring to the Arab League's "three no's" at the Khartoum Conference of some years ago: no recognition of Israel, no negotiation with Israel and no peace with Israel. But Peres said his no's would be "no war, no terrorism and no refusal to negotiate." ACCEPTING honorary citizen- ship of Afula, Peres attacked government bureaucracy for wasting millions of dollars, and said people should be paid a fair rate for their work, rather than having to speculate on the stock market. He praised the residents of Afula for trying to maintain good relations with their Arab neighbors, despite frequent murderous terrorist attacks on residents during the past year or so. Terrorism Down JERUSALEM (WNS) - Palestinian terrorism in Israel decreased significantly since Jor- dan closed the PLO offices in Jor- dan, Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin declared Aug. 19 during a tour of the Jordan Valley.

Speaking to reporters at Ben Gurion Airport, Peres said the Cameroon Embassy would be opened in Israel within three mon- ths, but its location has not yet been established. Biya has an- nounced that his country was resuming diplomatic relations with Israel, 13 years after it broke ties after the Yom Kippur War. THE PREMIER, who visited Cameroon at the invitation of Biya and who is the first Israeli Premier to visit black Africa since Premier Levi Eshkol was there 20 years ago, said that "from our point of view, it was an excep- tional visit according to the warmth of the reception, the par- ticipation of hundreds of thousands of people who I demonstrated their deep friend- ship and warm feeling for the State of Israel." He said he was "deeply impress- ed both by the country and its leader, a country which is on the road to development, with a balanced budget, a growth rate of six percent this year and a | relatively high standard of | living." Peres characterized Biya "as f one of the most important leaders on the African continent. He is a man of deep knowledge, great restraint, much experience, and I has a very special feeling of ; friendship toward Israel." PERES SAID he and Biya had three meetings, and that 12 work- ing groups six consisting of Israelis who had accompanied the Premier and six consisting of Cameroon government represen- tatives selected by Biya met Tuesday (Aug. 26) to mutually 1 work out bilateral agreements in i the fields of agriculture, industry, tourism, security and military. The Israeli leaders said that in I his talks with Biya, "we reached a meeting of minds on the burning issues in the Middle East and in Africa. We agreed to enlarge and deepen the relations between the State of Israel and Cameroon. I am looking forward to the strengthening of relations with Cameroon and maybe to the ex- tension of the renewal of diplomatic relations with other countries in Africa." Regarding South Africa's policy of apartheid, Peres said he found Biya's approach "uncompromis- Hng in principle, but very well measured in practice. That is to say, he is not swept along by no- tions of throwing the whites into jthe sea. Neither does he think a solution can be found overnight." PERES SAID that Biya also was not enthusiastic "about the two-faced policy conducted by pome countries in the world toward South Africa). However, me believes that there is no room or compromise on apartheid and hat a solution must be reached fcradually. He believes that this is wssible." | Regarding Israel's attitude. Peres said "there is do need for any commitment, since Israel's position on the issue of apartheid is unequivocal. I don't think that Israel is or shoud be a leading country in formulating a policy toward South Africa." This state- ment was similar to the one he made to reporters in Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon. He said there: "We don't feel it is for us to be making policy vis-a- vis South Africa. We are a party to world policy. We shall follow the resolutions, but I don't think we have to take the lead in for- mulating a policy toward South Africa. That does not mean that we are indifferent. A Jewish per- son could never support apartheid." PERES SAID that in the joint statement he made with Biya on this issue, both sides condemned apartheid and the Israeli leader said that "both sides had agreed to do everything to dismantle this odious system" but that "did not meant that Israel might be mov- ing closer to any sanctions against South Africa. The traditional posi- tion of Israel is never to com- promise with apartheid. But Israel has no ambition to be the leading country in cementing a policy toward South Africa. I think we have to remain true to our size, meaning that we are not a superpower." Biya did not express dissatisfac- tion with Israel's position on South Africa, Peres said. "Not at all. He just asked me one question about the visit (earlier last month) of our economic delegation and I explained to him the purpose of the visit." Peres said he and Biya discuss- ed Arab reactions to Peres' visit to Cameroon and the decision by Biya to resume diplomatic rela- tions with Israel. BIYA CONCEDED that some Arab countries were not happy with this development, "but Presi- dent Biya feels he represents a sovereign country and he doesn't need the approval or permission of anyone else. I think that the President was very favorably im- pressed by the meeting in Moroc- co betweek King Hassan and myself." At a meeting with reporters Monday (Aug. 25), Biya said that Cameroon's decision to restore ties with Israel was the result of ongoing relations between the two countries during the past few years. According to Israeli of- ficials, the two countries have had secret trade relations since 1981. When Biya took power in 1983, Israel was allowed to establish an interest section in Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon. Since then, Cameroon re-evaluated the situa- tion of Israeli-black African rela- tions, Biya said. He noted that African nations broke relations with Israel because of its occupation of the Sinai Peninsula. However, now that Egypt and Israel have signed a peace treaty and Sinai has been returned, there is no reason for African nations not to resume relations with Israel, Biya said. CAMEROON IS the fourth black African nation after Ivory Coast, Liberia and Zaire to resume relations. Twenty-nine African countries severed ties with Israel under Arab pressure in the wake of the 1973 Yom Kip- pur War. Only Lesotho, Malawi and Swaziland continued relations. Israel also has "semi- diplomatic" relations, at the in- terest section level, with the states of Gabon, Ghana, Kenya and Togo. Gabon and Togo are regarded in Israel as the most likely to resume full relations soon. Peres said Biya had told him that other African countries were ready to renew relations with Israel. "He even told me about several Presidents who said, 'Come, let us do this together.' " But Peres would not identify the countries or the Presidents. Peres said that Biya was very moved by Israel's medical aid to the victims of the volcanic gas catastrophe near Lake Nios, about 240 miles northeast of Yaounde, in which an estimated 1,500 persons were killed. "He (Biya) went on television to say so that without any request and as a matter of fact, Israel was the first not only to suggest but to supply aid immediately to this very unfortunate event," Peres said. THE PREMIER explained that he had learned about the disaster "just a day before we took off for Cameroon. We didn't know exact- ly the size of it, but from the early information we understood that this was a very serious matter. "So on the plane that took us to Cameroon, the Israel Army Medical Corps arranged to send a medical team and equipment.

September 5. 1986 Will Surprises Never End? The international-everything, Armand Hammer, has been presented with an honorary degree by Tel Aviv University. What is more, Mr. Hammer was there to ac- cept it. Will surprises never end? Israel has been in existence since 1948. The struggle for Jewish statehood has been in existence since long before that. Mr. Hammer, age 88, has also been in existence since long before that, and we hardly remember an occasion when Mr. Hammer was mentioned as ever being involved in either historic development in the past. Nevertheless, better late than never. Dur- ing Mr. Hammer's visit in Israel last week, he had occasion to make two significant observations. Virtually on his way to Moscow to meet with Mikhail Gorbachev, he suggested that the Israelis keep a low profile and enter into quieter diplomacy with the Soviets on the matter of Soviet Jewry than they have been conducting heretofore. Undoubtedly, that was an excellent piece of advice particularly in light of the fact that he has been dealing with the Soviets since the days of the fabled Lenin, and doors in the Kremlin open up for him as if by magic. Hammer's 'Certainty' Perhaps just as important, from a longrange point of view, was his observation that his geologist Mr. Hammer is Oc- cidental Petroleum are convinced that there is oil in Israel and that, if there is any, "they will find it." Since the return of the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt for what, so far, appears to be a hand- ful of delusions about normal relations with that country, there has been a growing sense of loss focused on the oil wells that Israel drilled there and then turned over to the Egyptians as part of the Camp David package. At the same time, the Israelis have frequently drilled for oil on their own lands and come up dry. If Mr. Hammer is right and can prove it and there are few other men in this world who ought to be taken seriously on the sub- ject of oil he may well prove a boon to the economic security of Israel henceforward. In that case, the breaking of his long silence may well have been worth waiting for. Germany's Anthem West Germany appears to be intent on go- ing back to the old chorus in their national anthem that trumpets Deutschland ueber AUes "Germany above everything" and ends with in der Welt "in the world." The history of 20th Century Germany is pod enough reason to cause people to become somewhat edgy about that. The Nazi era, in our view, doubles the ante. While West Germany remains laudably vigilant about neo-Nazi elements in that country, there is increasing evidence of a growing sense of irritation on the part of its people with enforced recollection of the past. West Germany's President Richard von Weiszaecker has done a sterling job in his repeated reference to the need that Ger- mans must feel never to forget the Nazi era and the horrors that it conceived. Von Weiszaecker has spoken both with Jewish Floridian ol passion and scholarly adroitness on this sub- ject, and both his manner and the content of his presentations have demonstrated a sense of conviction in him that goes far beyond any political consideration. Wonder of wonders, then, that in the presidential office he oc- cupies, which has up until now been largely ceremonial, Von Weiszaecker is today one of West Germany's most popular political leaders and, apparently, a shining leader- ship personality- on its not-too-distant horizon. On the other hand, the more recent statements of Chancellor Helmut Kohl, coupled with the role he played in the unhap- py Bitburg affair last year, reflect the very irritation with West Germany's past that its citizens appear to be feeling these days and that will surely be assuaged with the return of Deutschland ueber AUes in der Welt to their national anthem. Conflicting Views Beyond understanding the issue in broad sociological terms, the important thing for us, as Jews, to wonder is whether the Kohl view or the Von Weiszaecker view of the German need as Von Weiszaecker sees it will prevail in the future and, therefore, what that view holds for the 20th Century world that twice was precipitated into war by that country. We do not believe that the Germans must be made to feel that they must do penance forevermore. But we do believe, with their President, that they must not forget the Hitler era and what that era wrought as the best way to avoid its ever happening again. Deutschland ueber AUes will hardly fill the bill in this. Success in Cameroon The Peres-Biya announcement last week made Cameroon the fourth Black African state to restore relations with Israel since all but three broke them off in the wake of the 1973 Yom Kippur War. With the growing willingness in the Arab world itself to public- ly deal with Israel Egypt and Morocco are clear examples the snowball effect that Israel has hoped for may well come about. One by one, the nations of Africa are reaf- firming their independence by restoring for- mal ties with Israel. In the process, they are reaffirming the legitimacy of Israel as an equal member of the community of nations. The development is a happy one, both for Africa and the Jewish State. In the late -*m\ 1950s and 1960s, Israel dealt with its isola- tion in the region partly by reaching beyond its regional boundaries into Africa. There was a natural affinity between the young, struggling Jewish state that was making its desert bloom and the newly-independent countries of the African continent. In the case of Cameroon, before Yaounde joined most Black African capitals in cutting off ties with the Jewish state 13 years ago, Israeli experts had helped establish two agricultural training centers in Cameroon and managed them until native personnel could replace them. A permanent team of Israeli volunteers founded and ran rural set- tlements at Obala and Garoura, where adolescents were trained in scouting, agricultural skills and civics. In the towns, they set up youth centers, which provided vital supplementary vacational education. And this is only a sampling. It was as though Israel had never left in spirit when Prime Minister Peres summon- ed, on a moment's notice, a team of doctors and medical supplies to travel with him on his state visit to Cameroon. As Peres and Cameroon President Paul Biya announced the restoration of relations last week, the Israeli medical team was aiding in relief ef- forts for surivors of the horrible geological disaster that had just taken place. Rather than submitting to Arab pressure where diplomatic relations with Israel are concerned, the African nations increasingly see where humanity and friendship truly lie that they are not in the political posturing and threats of the Arabs, but in the acts of one country ready to help others where and when it can. Soviet Jewry's Humor Laughter In A Hostile Environment lUMCMFTlO* HATES A4**ftca lm -, rw. *. > rfw-ll Ou)o>hM" Friday. September 5. 1986 Volume 59 1 ELUL5746 Number 36 Soviet Jews have turned to humor to deflate the extraordinary tensions in their daily lives. So says David A. Harris, deputy director of the International Rela- tions Department of the American Jewish Committee, who, together with Israel Rabinovich, Professor of Russian Language at the Monterey Institute of Foreign Languages, has just published "On a Lighter Note? Soviet Jewish Humor." Some samples from the 10-page compilation: Q: Why are there no Jewish cosmonauts? A: The Soviet authorities are afraid they would never return. "Khaim, what would you do if the borders were opened tomorrow?" "I'd jump into the nearest tree." "But why" "So as not to be run over by the stampede." Q: Do you know Khaim. the fellow who lives across from the prison? A: Yes, but now he lives across from his house. "My Khaim is such an anecdote teller," boasted Sarah. "A few years ago, he was sentenced to three years for just one anecdote. And last night he told an anecdote that was worth at least eight years!" Q: What is the longest street in Odessa? A: Bebelya. Q: Why? A: Because Abramovich went down it five years ago to KGB headquarters but still hasn't returned. Q: What's the definition of a Soviet string quartet? A: A Soviet symphony or- chestra that has just returned from a tour of the West. Abram telephoned the KGB. "Hello. Is that the KGB there? I wonder if by any chant.e a parrot has come to your office?" "No." "If he should come, I just want to let you know in advance that I don't share his political views." Shortly after Abram left Kiev for a business trip to Eastern Europe, his friend back home received a telegram from Poland: Greetings from free Warsaw. Abram. A few days later a second telegram, this one from Czechoslovakia, arrived: Greetings from free Prague, Abram. Several days passed before a third telegram from Hungary, came: Greetings from free Budapest, Abram. Then followed a long period of silence before the friend in Kiev received a telegram from Israel: Greetings from Jerusalem, free Abram. And so on .

The Egyptian Government's failure to find the terrorists who killed two Israelis in Cairo and injured others has caused widespread conster- nation. We tear that any day the gunmen will turn their weapons on us. We could provide easy targets; we have little protection from the unknown assassins." This is an experienced Western diplomat's description of current feelings among the diplomatic community in Egypt's capital. Anxiety is mixed with surprise. The Egyptian security service is one of the most formidable in the world, with a reported staff of of- ficials and informers of more than 500,000. IT HAS skilfully broken up many extremist and terror groups, including those of Libya's Khadafy. Yet, despite finding im- portant clues about the Israelis' murderers, including the car which they used at the Cairo book fair, the Egyptian police have fail- ed to trace them. Western diplomats believe that the assassins are native Egyp- tians belonging to the same Moslem fundamentalist group which murdered President Anwar Sadat. But experienced anti- terrorist experts (including Israelis) assume that the killers are Palestinians or Libyans, possibly directed from Damascus by Abu Nidal, the terror chief who organized the assassination at- tempt on Shlomo Argov, Israel's former Ambassador to London, in June, 1982. Being an Israeli diplomat in Cairo is thus a harrowing ex- perience. It imposes strains on even the toughest men and women, who have seen their col- leagues gunned down without the perpetrators being brought to justice. THE ISRAELI EMBASSY; in the fashionable Giza district, is a fortress: heavily armed troops < guard the approaches and the at- mosphere is clouded in tension as if an attack were expected any moment. Yet once within the embassy, having passed all the intricate security checks, one finds smiling, hard-working staff at work. The Ambassador, Moshe Sasson, and his colleagues believe they have an important task to perform both for their country and for Israeli- Egyptian relations and they carry it out efficiently and courageously. The Ambassador has won the admiration of the diplomatic corps. For him and his Arabic- speaking staff, the anxieties of liv- ing in Cairo are compounded by the drastic deterioration in Israeli-Egyptian relations. The great hopes which followed Sadat's visit to Jerusalem in 1977 have faded. At that time Cairo taxi-drivers offered me free rides when I mentioned I had come from Israel. Today, any mention of Israel is likely to provoke a Mubarak (left) has far less luck than Anwar Sadat did in solving problems. sullen, suspicious glance and could even be dangerous. Egyptians had naively hoped that peace would bring them pro- sperity. But their enormous economic problems have, in fact, multiplied as tremendous popula- tion increases every year there are a million more mouths to feed, pushing Egypt's population to close on 50 million negating the brave efforts of the planners. President Mubarak is faced with a colossal task which he cannot master unless the world communi- ty comes to his rescue. "NASSER LEFT Egypt in ruins," a Western diplomat remarked. "Sadat struggled to improve the situation and had some luck. But Mubarak, a very able man, has far greater pro- blems and far less luck. "The collapse of the oil market has hit Egypt hard. The decline in remittances from Egyptians in Arab countries is a major blow. Mubarak cannot hope to obtain any substantial aid from moderate Arab States such as Saudi Arabia. Egypt owes huge amounts for arms obtained in the Soviet Union and the U.S.A., and the country is literally on the verge of collapse." Aid from the United States, se- cond only in quantity to Israel, amounts to over $2 billion, but is Continued on Page 9-A Jewish Agency Center of Drama It Never Intended To Unfold By STANLEY A. RINGLER The recent Assembly of the Jewish Agency for Israel had more than its share of drama. The players were not on the plenary stage but in the corridors and lobby of Jerusalem's Ram ad a Renaissance Hotel, where the annual meeting was held. Just days before the start of the Assembly, as hundreds of Stanley Ringler is a former member of the national staff of the B 'nai B 'rith Hillel Founda- tion who served as Hillel direc- tor at the University of Miami. members of the Board were especially incensed because the articles not only held them in- directly culpable for many of the alleged shortcomings of the World Zionist Organization and Jewish Agency, but because the series was illustrated with a number of caricatures described by some as Maariv' Writer Views the Struggle Page 2-B Anti-Semitic* drawing at root of the burgeoning controversy. delegates from around the world converged in Jerusalem, emotions began to build up to what ap- peared to be a near decisive con- frontation between Diaspora and Israel leadership circles. The Jewish Agency Board of Gover- nors was about to conduct this regularly scheduled pre-Assembly meetings, but as the members of the Board of Governors arrived at the meeting room, they found waiting for them copies of a booklet containing reprints of a Jerusalem journalist's series of in- vestigative reports on the struc- ture and work of the Jewish Agen- cy and the World Zionist Organization. THE UNEXPECTED ap- pearance of journalist Charles Hoffman's probing series of ar- ticles created a furor. The WZO anti-Zionist and even anti-Semitic. In fact the drawings, which for many served to discredit the en- tire booklet, were produced by the two Jewish newspapers in Baltimore and Detroit which had originally commissioned Hoff- man's series. Subsequently a slightly abridged version of his ar- ticles ran in The Jerusalem Post in the late spring. Hoffman unwit- tingly created a firestorm of pro- test over his highly critical analysis of what he described as the politicized and sometimes inef- ficient organizational structure and program of the Agency and WZO. THE PRESENT chairman of the Board of Governors of the Jewish Agency, Jerrold Hoff- berger of Baltimore, thought the substance of the criticism to be so important that he arranged to have copies of it reproduced in a booklet and distributed in Jerusalem among members of the Board of Governors. Hoffberger did not, however, anticipate the reaction the booklet's appearance provoked. Even some of his supporters were disturbed by what they saw as a number of clearly offensive caricatures. The public condemna- tion of the booklet's illustrations tended to discredit the entire ef- fort. The Israeli media characteristically portrayed the story on its front pages as a volley of charges and counter charges between the principal players in the show: Hoffberger and members of the WZO Executive. Hoffberger at first insisted that the booklet be distributed, read and discussed by the entire Board. However, Arye Dulzin, chairman of the Executive of both the Jewish Agency and the World Zionist Organization, categorical- ly refused to allow either its distribution or discussion. Heated accusations of yellow journalism and anti-Semitism were heard throughout the course of the assmbly, with some demanding Hoffberger's resignation. EVENTUALLY, Hoffberger proposed that a new version of the booklet be prepared, sans illustra- tions. But by this point, in view of Continued on Page 8-A Page6-A The Jewish Floridian/Friday, September 5, 1986 In Brazil Jews Await Election in November Cob tinned from Page 1-A numbers seem to indicate. Sao Paulo has the largest Jewish population, about 70,000. Rabbi Henry Sobel of the Liberal Congregacao Israelita Paulista in Sao Paulo (the largest synagogue in Latin America, with 2,000 families), the acknowledged human rights spokesperson for the Jewish community, told the JTA: "The issue today is in the con- text of the new Constitution. I tell the Jewish community that the issue is not the Constitution itself. What is important for Brazil is the ideology, the moral and ethical credentials of the people who will be responsible for drawing up the Constitution. This is why elections are so important for the Jewish community and for Brazil in general. Those elected will be both writing and implementing the new Constitution." SOBEL DESCRIBED as a "new phenomenon" the fact that this year candidates are courting the Jewish community. In pancular. individual Jews who are prominent in the community have been asked to host and organize fund-raising cocktail parties. Can- didates are also going to the Jewish federations and to synagogues, asking for support, Sobel noted. "Perhaps they feel there is a 'Jewish vote,' be said. But both he and Benno Milnitzky. a Sao Paulo attorney who is president of the Confederacao Israelita do Brasil. deny there is such a thing as a "Jewish vote" in Brazil. Milnitzky said: "The Jewish community is not a political party. The candidates are seeking out Jews for money and influence, because they believe we are stronger than we are. There is, however, a Jewish stake in the Constitution. We are studying all proposals. "PERSONALLY, I do not believe the new Constitution is go- ing to be the Magna Carta of the Brazilian people, because the Con- gress will both write and vote on the Constitution. As Jews, what concerns us most are the problems related to prejudice in color, race, religion. It is important for us that basic principles (of social justice) are incorporated into the im- plementation of the law." Milnitzky seemed to have reser- vations with regard to the Jewish community, redemocratization. and the new Constitution. He said: "The problem Jews face is how to adapt to this period of liberalization. Just as I have the liberty to manifest myself as a Jew, so do anti-Semites have the liberty to manifest themselves as anti-Semites. Jews are simply not prepared to encounter contem- porary anti-Semitism here. "We do not have traditional anti-Semitism here. Despite the fact that Brazil has undergone a revolutionary change and economic crisis, with the excep- tion of the PLO, no one has ever accused Jews of having anything to do with the country's problems." DURING THE years of the military regime, the Jewish com- munity kept a low profile and pro- spered. There were no specific problems for Jews, as Jews, ex- cpet Brazil's infamous affirmative vote in 1975 in the UNited Na- tions General Assembly on the Zionism equals racism resolution, Milnitzky said. Today there is a "chaotic state of affairs," in the reformation of the country. Dr. Isaac Schifnagel. who founded the Brazilian Institute of Human Rights in 1965 and has worked with the Confederation on the issue since 1972, said of the dictatorship from 1964 to 1985 that on the issue of human rights, "the Jewish community was on the fence. During the dictator- ship, it was possible to speak on a personal level with Ministers, if there was a problem." Milnitzky concurred, saying: "Speaking personally, and not in my capacity as president of the Confederacao I am a democrat with socialist tendencies. I hate Dublin Priest Among Scholars Who Have Translated Targums LOS ANGELES (JTA) - Father Martin McNamara. a Dublin priest whose aides include Rabbi Samson Levey of the Hebrew Union College here, has arranged for the first English translation in 16 volumes of all the Targums comprising the Aramaic Bible (Old Testament). Aramaic was the common language of the Jewish people in Palestine from the Second Century before the birth of Jesus. McNamara, editorial director of the translation project, is a scholar-teacher with the Society of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart in Dublin. He has been on a sabbatical this summer doing research at the Claremont Calif., Ancient Biblical Manuscript Center. Levey is one of the three American Jews among leading Hostility And Humor Continued froa Page 4-A self-expression through the ballot box, the press, assembly or cultural forms, political humor becomes a treasured, if private means of conveying anger, frustration or criticism in an often hostile environment.' Targumk scholars in the English- speaking world who have written books for the project. His book covers Ezekiel. on which he spent four years. The scholars said their project is important because, unlike the Greek account, it is more than a mere literal translation of the Hebrew Bible. "In the Aramaic text, you find a lot of additional material because the scholars of that period, in their oral transla- tions of the Hebrew into Aramaic, would add many interpretations and paraphrases." they said. authoritarian regimes. I believe authoritarian regimes drown Jewish potential to express ourselves freely. At the same time, such a regime creates a con- venience. All you need is a contact with an authority to alleviate anti- Semitism. This is bad, because it leaves the Jewish community with the erroneous impression we are more protected by authoritarianism than by liberalism. This is a myth." JEWISH COMMUNAL leaders such as Milnitzky, Sobel and Schif- nagel are concerned about what this unknown future of "democracy" and a new Constitu- tion will mear to the community. Sobel said: "Now there is an aperture. Within that context, the Jewish community is responding as are others. There is democratization, although it is still not con- solidated. It is a process. The Jews have a special vested interest in the political and social mobility of our country. I was taught in school that Jews fare well in an open and free society. When the masses are oppressed they need an outlet, and history proves that more often than not, they throw the blame on the Jews." Speaking of the history of Jewish involvement with human rights and social justice in Brazil in the 20th Century, Dr. Nachman Falbel. a professor of medieval and Jewish history at University of Sao Paulo, observed that the Jewish immigrants in the decades of the 1920's and 1930's "were in- terested in ideology. They centered their lives on political studies. This was a reflection of their lives in Europe. They brought their ideologies here and continued to struggle with them until the 1950's. Ideology today is not so attractive to Jewish youth, nor to Brazilian youth in general. We do not live in an age of ideology. "THE CAPITALISTIC development of Brazil after World War II, the economic boom, had the effect of a maelstrom," Falbel continued. "People strove to be rich, and in a good socio-economic position. This happened to the Jewish community. Old ideals had influence on Jewish youth until World War II, perhaps until the 1950's. After that, capitalistic economic development caused a weakening of ideals. People wanted to be rich; this is the sim- ple economic truth." Rolf Herzberg. who heads the House of Israeli Culture, agreed that the Jewish community has not been active on the human rights question. "They came to start a new life and take advan- tage of the economic oppor- tunities the country offers," he said. "They also worry about the education of their children. These are the two issues that absorb them."

JUICE TEA M SNACKS SERVED TO YOUR ROOM THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT BY REQUEST Hussein Grants Citizenship To Former Mayor of Gaza By GIL SEDAN JERUSALEM (JTA) King Hussein of Jordan has granted Jordanian citizenship to the former Mayor of Gaza, Rashad A-Shawa, and six members of his family. Residents of Gaza have no citizenship and travel on special refugee papers. Shawa received his citizenship in appreciation for his support of Hussein's policies, accordid- ng to a statement issued in Amman, Jordan. SHAWA SUPPORTED Hussein's February, 1986 split with the Palestine Liberation Organization and said the silent majority of Palestinians backed Hussein's demands that the PLO change its position on the peace process. As a result, Shawa was several times the victim of sabotage attempts. Three weeks ago, Israeli security forces safely detonated an explosive charge placed outside a car inspection center he owned. The former mayor met recently with Premier Shimon Peres, discussing ideas for a settlement. He spent several weeks in Amman, where he made pro-Jordanian and anti- PLO statements. Shawa complained that the policy of the PLO had led the Palestinian people nowhere, and it was time to examine "other options. Kollek Says Jerusalem Schools Snubbed by Gov't. JERUSALEM (JTA) - Mayor Teddy Kollek charged Tuesday (Aug. 26) that the government was allocating more funds for education in the Jewish settlments in Judaea and Samaria than it was willing to give schools in Jerusalem. He told a press conference that there was a shortage of classrooms throughout the new neighborhoods of Jerusalem, "which are also located in Samaria." "A new settlement in Judaea and Samaria immediately gets a school, a kindergarten, a synagogue. But for the 85,000 Jews living in the new neighborhoods of Jerusalem, we have to fight for every school and every public garden. This is unfair discrimination.'' Some 107,000 Jewish children will go to school this year, an in- crease of four percent. Kollek noted that the education system in Jerusalem was especially com- plicated because of the large number of new neighborhoods with heterogeneous populations High Holidays On Miami Beach ROSH HASHANA YOM KIPPUR SUCCOTH 4 DAYS/3 NIGHTS from S14900 12 DAYS/11 NIGHTS from s299 app, SPLIT STAY 6 DAYS/5 NIGHTS S19900 MAP P.P. oec occ iLOCr p.p All Ml* Prepared By Weberman Kosher Caterers Glatt Kosher EUROPEAN PLAN AVAILABLE 0P KITCHEN IN EVERY ROOM SHUL ON PREMISES PHONE 532-4541 OCEANFRONT BLOCK at 39th ST..

OwnBr-**^ Study Shows Catholic Academics Learn Judaism Friday, September 5, 1986/The Jewish Floridian Page 7-A Sabbath Flea Market Opens Can of Worms for Knesset NEW YORK (JTA) - Faculty and students at Roman Catholic educational institutions have developed "a deep appreciation of Jews and Judaism" in the 20 years since the Second Vatican Council's Nostra Aetate declaration, accor- ding to a study published here. Entitled "Jews, Judaism and Catholic Education," it is based on a survey of several hundred Catholic educational institutions in the United States conducted by Sister Rose Thering of the Department of Education at Seton Hall University in South Orange, N.J. It was published by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, the American Jewish Committee, and Seton Hall. SISTER THERING also found broad awareness of the " 'teaching of contempt' that was partially responsible for the Holocaust." She attributed this awareness to the fact that Catholic educational institutions are teaching about Jews and Judaism in a positive way, reflec- ting recognition that Christianity is rooted in Judaism. German Anthem Revised NEW YORK (JTA) The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith has called upon officials of the West German state of Baden- Wurttemberg to reconsider their "ill-advised decision" to revive the long-banned first verse of the national anthem which contains the words Deutschland uber alles. In a cable to Baden Wurttemberg's President Lothar Spaeth, Abraham Foxman, ADL's associate national director and head of its International Affairs Division, pointed out that the words Deutschland uber alles. "like the swastika, symbolize to the world the brutality of Nazism. Giving legitimacy to such a highly identifiable symbol of the Nazi regime can only weaken the effort to educate the public of Nazism's evil and can raise questions about the German commitment to reject that past." A copy of the ADL cable was also sent to Gunther van Well, West Germany's Ambassador to the United States. The survey further disclosed that Holocaust studies have become required in most high schools, some elementary schools and almost all Catholic colleges and universities and that many Catholic institutions observe Yom Hashoah Holocaust Remem- brance Day with special ser- vices to recall the genocide com- mitted against the Jews durine World War II. In a preface of the study, Rabbi Leon Klenicki, director of ADL's Interfaith Affairs Department, and Rabbi A. James Rudin, AJC's National Interreligious Affairs director, called the findings "both promising and encouraging." THEY ADDED, however, that while "Jews and Judaism are no longer esoteric studies in Catholic schools, and there is growing in- terest in Judaism on the part of both students and faculty, much still remains to be done. Crucial issues remain." Noting that "these issues are being faced and addressed by a growing number of Catholic educators and institutions," they commended Thering "and others who have committed themselves to building a new and constructive relationship between Catholics and Jews a relationship of mutual respect and understanding." The survey expands on Ther- ing's 1970 study which sought to determine how Catholic institu- tions had implemented the Vatican Council II Statement on the Jews and Judaism made five years earlier. The current study surveys im- plementation of not only the 1965 Statement but also includes the 1974 Roman Catholic Guidelines and Suggestions for implementa- tion of the Vatican II document and the 1975 National Catholic Conference of Bishops' statement on Catholic-Jewish relations. AMONG THE findings of the new study, based on answers by respondents, were: 5 percent of the Catholic col- leges and universities offer courses in Judaism, either separate or part of other com- parative religion courses. 27 percent after a special course on the Holocaust; 6 percent offer a separate course on the State of Israel, 38 percent offer courses on the Mid- dle East; 10 percent of the seminaries have a special course on the Holocaust with others covering it as part of other courses: NATURAL SPRING WATER.

Sister Thering said the survey found significant improvement within Roman Catholic educa- tional institutions but also in- dicated a need for improvement in such areas as presentation of the Pharisaic movement, an aspect of the Judaism of Jesus' time, which the 1975 Vatican Guidelines specifically cited as requiring cor- rection in Christian teaching and preaching. "POPULAR PREACHING and teaching including Passion Plays have often used Catholic devotion to Christ crucified as an occasion for anti-Jewish statements," Thering said, despite "the Conciliar Statement on the Jews that this is clearly not in harmony with either the truth or the spirit of the Gospel." Thering also recommended that in accordance with the 1974 Guidelines and Suggestions for carrying out the VAtican II Coun- cil statement, Christians "must come to an understanding of Torah, People, and Land, three very important components of Judaism." ("Land" refers to the Land of Israel.) Of the 209 questionnaires sent to Catholic colleges and univer- sities, 128 or 61.2 percent responded. Of the 123 question- naires sent to seminaries, there were 40 responses or 32.5 per- cent. Of 300 high schools which received the instrument, 114 or 38 percent responded. OF 180 questionnaires sent to offices of superintendents, 43 or 23.9 percent responded. Of 213 questionnaires sent to Ar- chdiocesan/Diocesan ecumenical commissions, 75 responded or 35.2 percent. By GIL SEDAN JERUSALEM (JTA) - The issue of a flea market operating on the Sabbath has opened a can of worms in the Knesset. Twenty MKs, led by Labor MK Rab- bi Menachem Hacohen, have demanded that the Knesset meet for a special session this week to discuss the flea market operated by Kibbutz Nir Eliahu, northeast of Tel Aviv. The two minor religious parties in the Knesset, Agudat Yisrael and Shas, threatened that they would not hesitate to create a coalition crisis around this issue. Agudat sources expressed anger that Premier Shimon Peres and Deputy Premier Yitzhak Shamir did not try to stop the kibbutz from holding its flea market and prevent "a massive desecration of the Sabbath." PERES ACTUALLY did ask the United Kibbutz Movement to refrain from its activity. But the Kibbutz Movement secretariat rebuffed him, explaining that Kib- butz Nir Eliahu is facing an economic crisis due to a drop in agricultural sales and that a major source of income now is the flea market. Meanwhile, other Knesset par- ties are abuzz about the special session Wednesday which some MKs saw as turning into a con- frontation between leftwing and rightwing law makers. MK Chaika Grossman, chairperson of the Mapam Knesset caucus, warned that the session would turn into a farce. "A flea market becomes a cen- tral issue, whereas nobody discusses vital national issues." She said she would use the oppor- tunity to discuss the economic crisis of the moshavim. Knesset members from other parties said they would utilize the session to discuss the crisis of the moshavim.

Jewish Agency Center of Unintended Storm Continued from Page 5-A the escalating passions of all par- ties involved, it was thought best to shelve the matter for the time being. Overlooked in all the con- troversy, however, were the substantive issues which jour- nalist Hoffman had tried to address. Only after the bulk of the Jewish Agency Assembly metings had concluded did several substantive rebuttals to Hoffman's series ap- pear in the press. One such article IDF Must Remain Continued from Page 1-A security zone forever. HE SAID THE Syrian threat is manifested by that country's "intentions, conceptions, the build-up of its military forces and political alliances. Ail Syrian ac- tivity today is directed toward a military confrontation and we don't know when it might come. It's not a question of today, tomorrow, or the day after tomor- row but we must be prepared for any possibility." Asked by one of the soldiers how long the IDF would have to remain in the zone, the Deputy Premier said: "There is, of course no intention or plan to remain here forever. However, as long as this is necessary, we have to be here. "Anyone looking at what has been going on in the field recently, in the last year or two, knows that a great deal is being done here, a great deal is being contributed to Israel's security. Everyone here should know that he is making a considerable contribution to quiet and security, and to the fact that we do not have to conduct any large-scale military operations." deal with the criticism placed at the door of the Youth Aliya Department, whose programs Hoffman had claimed were too ex- pensive and politicized. The Department director general gave a lengthy and thoughtful response. Similarly, the Jewish Agency's treasurer and former secretary general, in separate articles, defended the decision-making process and modus operandi of the Agency with an explanation of how the Diaspora leadership plays an in- fluential role in its work. The issues of accountability and operational efficiency were ad- dressed as well. Still, many readers of both the booklet and the responses claim that there re- main many important questions that deserve to be answered. Cer- tainly within Diaspora circles there seems to be a determined in- terest in pursuing them. IT IS ALSO quite likely that the charges of politicization of the WZO and Jewish Agency program and structure will continue to generate a serious exchange of views between Diaspora and Israel leadership circles. Indeed, one of Hoffman's revelations about the allocation of substantial funds to anti-Zionist yeshivot has already resulted in an un- precedented Assembly policy recommendation to deny the allocation of funds to all institu- tions and organizations which neither recognize nor support the State of Israel. Interestingly enough, this decision not only satisfied the critics from the Diaspora who were particularly disturbed because of the relatively small portion of the program sub- sidy that goes to Reform and Con- servative institutions, but is also met with the overwhelming ap- proval of the Zionist leadership.

Israel Scene By GIL SEDAN JERUSALEM (JTA) - The Foreign Ministry has denied press reports that, contrary to stated Israeli policy, a Soviet consular delegation would visit Israel soon without a reciprocal Israeli visit to the USSR. Despite the denial, Soviet emigres reacted sharply, most vocal among them the internationally-known Natan Sharansky. According to a Foreign Ministry spokesman, Premier Shimon Peres made a point of discussing the issue with Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir, stressing that there was no change in Israeli policy. THE FOREIGN Ministry said that the position of Israel con- tinued to be the reciprocity outlin- ed by Israeli delegates to their Soviet counterparts at their meeting in Helsinki on Aug. 18. Since then, the Ministry said, there had been no contacts with the Soviets. In a separate statement, Minister-Without-Portfolio Moshe Arens said no government forum had given the green light to a Soviet delegation. He contended that any Soviet demand should be met with a minimum demand by Israel to release all Jews im- prisoned for Zionist activities. "No Soviet request should be met without a similar response to Israel's requests regarding Soviet Jews," said Arens. Speaking at a press conference beside his mother Ida Milgroni and his brother, Leonid, Natan Sharansky urged a public cam- paign against the USSR which would convince it that "public opi- nion of the West will simply never permit their government to sacrifice the interests of Soviet Jewry." In a word, Sharansky said, he condoned all "non- violent" action to achieve the goal of freeing Soviet Jewry. ON THE reported proposal by Peres that a Soviet delegation be allowed to visit Israel, Sharansky said adamantly: "We can never compromise because it is reallv very dangerous, and if (the report) is correct, it's a serious mistake which can bear very grave conse- quences for all who struggle for Soviet Jewry." Sharansky thanked all those who helped bring the family together. His mother, brother and his family arrived in Israel recent- ly from the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, American oil magnate Armand Hammer arriv- ed in Israel last Wednesday (Aug. 27) and had a meeting scheduled with Peres. The 88-year-old Ham mer has been an unofficial mediator between the West and the USSR since the 1920's. He said he would try to use his close contacts with the Soviet leadership to advance Israeli- Soviet ties. He was scheduled to fly to the USSR at the end of August.

Mubarak's Failures Add Up to Questions About Egypt Continued from Page 5-A proving insufficient. Large amounts of foreign currency are being wastefully spent on sub- sidizing staple foods; Mubarak is anxious to cut the subsidies, which are ruining Egypt and preventing any recovery, but he fears that any drastic action and any in- crease in food prices would lead to riots and looting, as happened in the past. The normally meek Cairo crowds are quickly roused to fury, burning and vandalizing when they suspect a cut in their food supplies, especially bread. MUBARAK IS reliable reported to have asked Shimon Peres, Israel's Prime Minister, to explain how Israel managed to cut its 500 percent inflation rate within a year. Peres sent back a detailed account of the policy, I pointing out that the "Israeli [ miracle" was achieved by cutting wages, reducing the state budget I and withdrawing subsidies. Shortly afterwards came a reply from President Mubarak. He ex- pressed admiration for the Israeli 'achievement but felt, alas, that I the Israeli plan could not be ap- I plied to Egypt: the Egyptian 1 masses would not appreciate the need for such drastic reductions in [ wages and subsidies. Mubarak knows that his enemies are looking for an oppor- tunity to inflame the Cairo masses, to attack the government and to destroy the peace with Israel. The Moslem fundamen- talists have, indeed, made major gains. Walking in the streets of Cairo one sees many young girls dressed in the strict Moslem garb. Compared to the situation in November, 1984, when I last visited Cairo, the change in the religious atmosphere is striking. During Sadat's lifetime it was rare to see a young girl in Moslem attire; now many shops in the main Cairo streets sell nothing else. One experienced observer remarked: "Moslem fundamen- talism is definitely a threat. So far, the movement has no charismatic leader, no Khomeini. But if such a man were to emerge, the government would face a serious problem." EGYPTIAN LEADERS are watching developments warily. One of them said: "We do not ob- ject to people becoming strictly religious. But we are concerned when religious fanaticism is used for political purposes. We will strike at anyone misusing religion." It is among the groups opposing Mubarak that the most vicious at- tacks on Israel and Jews are made.

The concert by Mohamed Ab- ou, with seats priced at $500, 'as to have been held at the Noga Wton Hotel. The event was the brainchild of i Egyptian impresario who view- I it as an opportunity to attract p many wealthy tourists from audi Arabia and other Persian ulf states spending the summer i *jeneva. [When members of the Saudi yal family staying here learned that the hotel to be used for the concert was owned by Jewish businessman Nissim Gaon, they raised objections and the event was transferred to the Intercon- tinental Hotel. Intercontinental officials were only too pleased at the prospect of a fresh source of income to make up for the shortfall of American tourists this year and Arabs who chose to stay home because of fall- ing oil prices. Their satisfaction was shortliv- ed. Young Kuwaitis attending the concert after downing a few drinks started a brawl with a group from Saudi Arabia. The concert was quickly transformed into a donnybrook, with tables, chairs and glasses flying in all directions. Bodyguards, quickly overwhelmed by the fray, called in police and order was restored at the hotel. munist press are ugly and crude and remind one of the worst ex- cesses of the Czarist police. The Talmud is alleged to contain a plan for the Jews to conquer the world. The Jews are said to use freemasonry to gather in all the earthly wealth. Israel is described as "the evil spirit of the world." Nor are the fabrications confin- ed to the opposition press, as some officials claim. They occasionally appear in such respected national newspapers as Al Ghomouria and AI Ahram and Israeli officials see them as alarm signals. THEY FEAR that the Egyp- tian government is warning Isrel that relations will not improve unless the Israelis make substan- tial concessions in regard to the Taba dispute and to the demands of the Palestinians. One Israeli official told me of a boycott of Israel in the Cairo press. Cairo editors had in- structed their staff not to write favorably about Israel or to have any contacts with Israeli journalists. Egyptian writers, who are badly paid, receive large amounts for ar- ticles they place in the oil-rich Arab countries: they know that any suspicion of contacts with Israel would destroy this lucrative market. Similar considerations af- fect the conduct of Cairo doctors and lawyers. "I have not seen an Israeli tourist for weeks," said an Israeli diplomat. In 1984, despite the cool relations between Israel and Egypt, more than 60,000 Israelis visited Egypt. A similar flow con- tinued until last October. THEN CAME the horrifying in- cident at Ras Burka in Sinai, when a demented Egyptian soldier shot dead several Israeli tourists, in- cluding children. The horror which swept Israel and the in- dignation at the Egyptian govern- ment's initial indifference has put an almost total stop to Israeli tourism. The Egyptian aircraft which took me from Tel Aviv to Cairo was only a quarter full and would have been emptier still had not a group of Jerusalem Chasidim decided to visit the grave of a txaddik near Cairo. The El Al plane on the return journey ap- peared to have fewer than half a dozen Israelis. But there are signs of hope. Both the Israeli and Egyptian governments realize that they have made mistakes and that it is essential to warm up relations before their pact dissolves. They recognize that the alternative is upheaval and tragedy. By MORTON I. TEICHER Sharon: An Israeli Caesar. By Uzi Benziman. New York: Adama Books, 1985. 276 pp. $17.95. The sub-title of this book, "An Israeli Caesar," is a dead giveaway to the author's inten- tions. Uzi Benziman, an Israeli journalist, set out to do a hatchet job on Arik Sharon and has achieved his goal in no uncertain terms. There are occasionally some grudging expressions of respect for Sharon's talents as a military man and for his patriotism but, by and large, the book is an unreliev- ed assault on the character and the ruling passions of a man who Benziman fears may one day win Israel's top political position. THE AUTHOR'S clear purpose in bringing all of Sharon's defects and dictatorial propensities to public view is to sound a cry of alarm concerning the possibility that this "paranoid" may yet realize his overweening ambition to become the Prime Minister of Israel. The harsh critique begins with the 1948 War of Independence when the 20-year-old Sharon fought as a brave infantryman who "behaved strangely with odd quirks and changing moods." As a platoon commander, he was wounded and suffered defeat in the battle for the Latrun police station. He blamed the repulse on poor planning by his superior officers, and this began a life-long vendetta against most military leaders whom he saw as grossly lacking in his own genius as a man at arms. The story proceeds with detail- ed accounts of Sharon's career in the army, emphasizing his pro- blem in obeying orders and his calculated manipulation of them in order to gain latitude for his own way. WHAT COMES through over and over again is Sharon's con- tempt for his colleagues and for those who held higher rank than he. He also treated his junior of- ficers with disdain and, at one point, was accused by Moshe Dayan. then Chief of Staff, of showing insufficient concern for the lives of his own soldiers. Despite the many difficulties which Benziman fully recounts in a most uncomplimentary fashion, Sharon managed to work his way up to become a lieutenant general. He showed "originality and courage," but he was "egotistical and a chronic liar." After the Yom Kippur War of 1973, Sharon left the army and went into politics. He soon became bored as an op- position member of the Knesset and his "brutish style" offended other politicians, including those in his own party. He tried to form a new party, but he ran it "as a guru ruling a cult." The party was dismantled when Sharon joined forces with Menachem Begin, even though "he had often attack- ed Begin as an old-fashioned demagogue, a prattling fool ." When Begin became Prime Minister in 1977, Sharon was ap- pointed Minister of Agriculture. According to Benziman, Sharon used his cabinet position dirup- tively to extend Israeli set- tlements on the West Bank while paying little attention to his responsibilities for agriculture. In 1981, when the Likud won reelec- tion, Sharon became Minister of Defense and, in this post, he engineered the Lebanese War. BENZIMANS most severe condemnation of Sharon is reserv- ed for the Lebanese War when he was "deceitful, crafty, uncouth, egotistic and paranoid." He is ac- cused of having a "sick personali- ty" and of scorning democratic procedures. There is no question but that Benziman has succeeded in aler- ting his readers to the dangers of Sharon's possible ascendancy to the position of Israeli Prime Minister. However, the book is a demonstration of unbalanced overkill. Maybe it is true that Arik Sharon has few redeeming features, but a greater effort to bring them to light might make Benziman's negative bombard- ment more persuasive. Submersible Robotic Vehicle Will Be Pressed Into Search for Sub Lost on Trip from England By DAVID FRIEDMAN WASHINGTON (JTA) A submersible robotic vehicle that was used recently to film the wreck of the ocean liner Titanic will be deployed in Egyptian waters in the Mediterra- nean Sea in an effort to find the Israeli submarine, Dakar, sunk in January, 1968, according to the Department of Defense. A Pentagon spokesman told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that the search will begin in late September in a cooperative effort between the U.S., Israel and Egypt. If the search by the U.S. Navy is successful, efforts will then be made to salvage the sub- marine and recover the remains of the 69 members of her crew. There has never been any ex- planation why the diesel-driven Dakar sank on her maiden voyage from England to Israel. The sub- marine was a modernized British World War II vessel. Israel, helped by several other nations, searched unsuccessfully for the Dakar after it was lost. There have also been three sear- ches in cooperation with Egypt. A marker buoy from the Dakar washed ashore about 90 miles south of Tel Aviv about a year after the submarine sank. This and other clues have given the Israelis a general idea of where the search should be conducted. When Israeli Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin visited Washington last year he asked Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger to use the robotic equipment to search for the Dakar, according to the Pentagon spokesman. The ef- fort was to have begun earlier this year, but the equipment and salvage material was needed by the Navy after the space shuttle Challenger exploded, the spokesman said. The equipment was then used this summer to explore the wreckage of the Titanic. It con- sists of a small submarine, which carries three persons and can des- cend to a depth of 6,000-13,120 feet, and then go along the sea floor and pick up objects with an arm and claw. It also can extend a robot ex- plorer, the Jason Jr., which is at- tached by a 250 foot tether and can go in and around objects. This was what was used to film the Titanic wreckage. Page 10-A The Jewish Floridian/Friday, September 5, 1986 Catholic Endorsement Auschwitz Convent Postponement NEW YORK John Car- dinal Krol, Archbishop of Philadelphia, has informed the American Jewish Com- mittee that he "endorses the recommendations" of the AJC to postpone the establishment of a Carmelite convent at the side of the Auschwitz con- centration camp. The Polish-born prelate also supported the AJC proposal for co-sponsoring with the Polish Catholic church seminars in Poland "that would help clarify our differing understandings of the meaning of Auschwitz to Catholics and Jews, and to the Polish people and the Jewish people." Cardinal Krol expressed his views in a letter to Rabbi Marc H. Tanenbaum, AJC's director of in- ternational relations, who discuss- ed the issue of the Carmelite con- vent with the cardinal in New York on July 25. RABBI TANENBAUM and David M. Gordis, AJC executive vice-president, also expressed their concerns about the convent in a conversation with Zdziskaw Ludwiczak, charge d'affaires at the Polish Embassy in Washington, on Aug. 7. In a long and forthright exchange, Ludwic- zak stated that the issue of the disposition of the convent rests within the jurisdiction of the Polish Catholic Church, and he ex- pressed the hope that a satisfac- tory solution could be worked out between the Church and the Jewish community. AJC's International Relations Department has maintained regular contact with Jewish leaders in Belgium, France, and Italy, who met on July 23 with Franciszek Cardinal Macharski, Archbishop of Krakow, in Geneva. As a result of that conversation, Cardinal Macharski has reported- ly agreed to postpone any further construction work on the convent Peres Ebullient Continued from Page 3-A had with us six physicians, ten medics, and four tons of equip- ment. We landed in Douala, which is the major port of Cameroon, and the doctors and medics took off immediately to the stricken area." Peres said he and his entourage had not heard from the doctors by the time they left Cameroon Tues- day (Aug. 26) for their 900-mile flight back to Israel. According to reports from Cameroon, the Israeli medical team had taken a long and difficult route to the stricken area and had not yet ar- rived there by nightfall Tuesday. [:]ROWARD IJAPER & [JACKAGING in Auschwitz, pending further dialogue with Jewish leaders. Cardinal Krol recently announc- ed plans to visit Poland and meet with Cardinal Macharski. In an- ticipation of that visit, Rabbi Tanenbaum sent Cardinal Krol a letter outlining the views of the Jewish community and asked that these be shared with the Polish Catholic church authorities. FREE DELIVERY FLORIDA 1 800 432 3708 0ROWARD SJAPER a iJACKAGING IN HIS response, Cardinal Krol worte, "I have made a copy of your letter and enclosures and in- tend to submit it to Cardinal Macarski of Krakow, and endorse the recommendations which you make with reference to the pro- posed erection of a convent at Auschwitz." Rabbi Tanenbaum made the following observations in his let- ter to Cardinal Krol, whom he has known since Vatican Council II: The Jewish people are very conscious that more than a million Polish Catholic people were killed by the Nazis at Auschwitz, and that it is altogether appropriate to memorialize their deaths. A Carmelite convent at Dachau has exactly that spiritual purpose. The Belgian Cathlic group called "Aid to the Church in Distress" precipitated the present debate over the proposed Carmelite convent at Auschwitz by seeming insensitivity to what Auschwitz means to the Jewish people. The group's fund-raising literature ignored that nearly three million were murdered by the Nazis in Auschwitz-Birkenua, adding "insult to injury" by mak- ing statements as "the convent . (is) a witness to the victorious power of the cross of Jesus" and "a spiritual fortress and guarantee of the conversion of our strayed brothers." Most Jews have taken that as "a callous spiritual affront to their dignity as Jews." Auschwitz has become "the unique, transcendant symbol of the Nazis' murderous attempt of 'the final solution,' the calculated effort to bring about the exter- mination of the entire Jewish peo- ple." It is both morally and in- tellectually "not allowable" that the Belgian Catholic group can transform Auschwitz into a Catholic shrine I 1 i 1 ' ' i ' 1 i 1 ' 1 i ' I ' i 1 i 1 1 i I 1 ' 1 i ' i 1 i 1 i 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ' 1 1 1 1 I ' i ' I i ' i 1 ! 1 1 i i 1 ' 1 1 I I 1 1 i >: 1 i' THE ORIGINAL Wolfie's 21 THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS DELI-RESTAURANT "WHERE THE ELITE MEET TO EAT!"

Waldheim Affair The Souring of Israel, Austria Continued from Page 1-A Austria, whose foreign policy is based on strict neutrality between East and West, changed the style, but not the substance, of its Mid- dle East policy, lowering the harsh rhetoric but maintaining its principles intact. With the accession of Waldheim to the Austrain Presidency in Ju- ly, Israel's relationship with Austria has been thrown off- balance again, although Austria's new Chancellor, Franc Vranitzky, is known to have warm feelings for Israel. To highlight its displeasure with the then-President-elect's military record as an intelligence officer in the German army, Israel recalled its Ambassador, Michael Elizur, to Jerusalem. Elizur, in an inter- view with this reporter as he prepared to leave Vienna, said he expected to return to Austria some time in the future a view echoed by officials in the Austrian Foreign Ministry. ISRAEL'S RELATIONS with Austria began to sour on May 2, when Yitzhak Shamir, the Foreign Minister said that the election of Waldheim would be "a real tragedy from all points of view political, diplomatic, and human." The Austrian response was equally sharp. Leopold Gratz, the then-Foreign Minister, characterized Shamir's remarks as an "unequivocable interference in Austria's internal affairs." Gratz, however, did not send Israel an official protest note, signifying his desire not to roil the waters any further. Observers on both sides agree that the Waldheim affair has set back Israeli-Austrian relations. Before his recall to Israel, Elizur acknowledged that an 'irritant" had been injected into the rela- tionship. In a reference to the revulsion occasioned in Israel by Waldheim's alleged involvement in atrocities against Yugoslavian partisans and civilians, as well as Greek Jews, Elizur noted: "Many Austrians haven't appreciated the depth of feelings that move Jewish Israelis." WALTER SCHWIMMER, the president of the Austrian-Israel Friendship Society, and a conser- vative member of Parliament who recently visited Israel, said that, at present, "uncertainty" was the operative word to describe Austria's relations with Israel. He declined to say they had been damaged. A member of Waldheim's Peo- ple's Party, Schwimmer defended Waldheim, whom he knows well. He said the former United Na- France May Pull Soldiers Out of UNIFIL, Chirac Warns By RON POPESKI PARIS (JTA) Prime linister Jacques Chirac has sued a new warning that France Gordon Roofing "*~ and Sheet Metal | Works, Inc. 1450 N.W. 21st Street | Phone 325-8287 Have your roof repaired now; you will save on a new roof later "Satisfactory Work by Experienced Men" PLANNING ON MOVING TO ISRAEL?

(of Miami) will pull its soldiers out of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) unless new guarantees for their safety are given by the United Nations. Chirac, speaking to a youth group of his conservative Rally for the Republic Party (RPR), urged the UN to "redefine the objective of its forces in the Middle East. Should this not be done, it would be absurd to maintain troops there under current conditions, whatever their nationality,^ par- ticularly those from France." The Prime Minister's comments echoed a similar statement by Foreign Minister Jean-Bernard Raimond. Government concern over the participation of more than 1,000 French troops in UNIFIL stem from attacks on their positions by Shiite militia that have left some two dozen French soldiers injured in recent weeks. Chirac praised the courage of the French soldiers, but said the UN was "not up to the respon- sibilities it claims to assume. If things continue in this way, they will wind up as hostages," he told his youthful audience. tions Secretary General had not been a member of the Nazi Party, opposed Nazi ideology and hailed from an anti-Nazi family. Waldheim, he went on to say, was not anti-Semitic. "He'll fight anti- Semitism in Austria, and he's in- terested in good relations bet- ween Austria and Israel." Austrian electors, he added, would have rejected Waldheim had he really been a Nazi. "Austrians voted for him because he's a good statesman, because they wanted a political change and perhaps out of a feeling that he had been unfairly maligned." Schwimmer, whose predecessor, Heinz Nittel, was killed by Arab terrorists five years ago, said he realized that "we Austrians don't sufficiently understand Jewish sensibilities with regard to the Holocaust." What was now necesary, he pointed out, was "real dialogue." NEW YORK Film maker Claude Lanzmann and the sculptor Natan Rapoport will be honored as "guardians of remem- brance" by the American Gather- ing and Federation of Jewish Holocaust Survivors at a "Liberty Reunion" dinner in the Waldorf- Astoria Sunday. Lanzmann's award-winning film "Shoah" featured interviews with Holocaust survivors. Among Rapoport's acclaimed works is "Liberation," a 15-foot sculpture of an American soldier carrying a Holocaust survivor. It is situated in Liberty Park on the New Jersey shore facing the Statue of Liberty. THE TWO MEN will receive scrolls at the dinner, which is ex- pected to be attended by 1,200 people and will be addressed by Elie Wiesel, chairman of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council. The dinner will celebrate "40 years of a new life," according to Benjamin Meed, president of the American Gathering, which represents 55,000 Jewish Holocaust survivors in the U.S. It marks the 40th anniversary of the arrival in the U.S. of the first Jewish Holocaust survivors, who entered the country under the Truman Act of 1946. Earlier in the day, several thou- sand Jewish survivors of the Holocaust and their families from across the country will gather at the Statue of Liberty "to thank America for providing them with a home and haven," Meed said. The Liberty Island ceremonies will commence at 11:30 a.m. THE SEPT. 7 "Liberty Reu- nion," the first to be held in New York, is being co-sponsored by HI AS, the worldwide immigration agency, which was instrumental in helping many of the Holocaust survivors to begin new lives in the U.S. in freedom and dignity. Claude Lanzmann Robert L. Israeloff, president of HIAS, said the reunion and dinner would "pay homage to the ex- traordinary dynamism of the four decades during which the sur- vivors have given so much to this country." He added: "The survivors and their ac- complishments in every field must surely serve as shining examples to all those who have found hope and new life in these United States. It is a story in which the survivors and HIAS participated together. And it is one that demonstrates the invincible spirit of the survivors and honors their courage and tenacity." THE FLAGS of 11 American Army units that liberated the Nazi death camps will be displayed dur- ing the Statue of Liberty pro- gram, which will include perfor- mances of patriotic American compositions and Yiddish music by the 100-member U.S. Army Band and Choir, Meed said. A high-ranking Administration of- ficial is expected to address the gathering, he added. You've V t*------"s 1 Got What It Takes... (And You May Not Even Know It) I* j 1 T T I' Help Those In Need...

KISLAK Six weeks ago, the morn- ing mail brought a personal invitation from Vice Presi- dent George Bush to join him as an official guest on a five-day State visit to Israel, the first leg of a ten-day tour that would also take the Vice President, his wife, Barbara, and the official party to Jordan and Egypt. The letter asked me to be one of a party of eight to act as informal advisers to Bush in a country that we, as supporters of the American-Israel alliance, had visited before. THE OPPORTUNITY to travel as a guest on Air Force Two, to participate in a five-day whirlwind calendar of official visits and in- formal conversations with, among others, Prime Minister Peres, members of his cabinet and the IDF, Natan and Avital Sharan- sky, Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kollek and President Herzog, was an exciting personal prospect. But it was more than that. For me it was, first of all, a chance to observe first-hand a visit bound to strengthen the links between the U.S. and Israel. In addition, it was an opportunity to participate in the orientation of someone who may be our next President into the complexities of the Middle East peace puzzle and the central strategic role Israel plays in that part of the world. Bush's visit to the Western Wall, his tour of Yad Vashem and his speech to members of the Knesset were all important. Yes, they probably do provide the best so-called "photo opportunities" Jay I. Kislak is a longtime Jewish community and civic leader in Greater Miami. demonstrating our government's strong commitment to the Jewish state. BUT THE segments of the Bush trip that I thought had the greatest value flowed from three or four lower key events which gave the Vice President the chance to establish direct personal contacts with current and future leaders of Israel as well as some of Israel's young people. The time he spent with Prime Minister Peres was particularly useful. I recall the warm meeting between the two men and their wives in the living room of Israel's first Prime Minister, David Ben- Gurion, at the Sde Boker kibbutz in the Negev. It reminded me of a dinner I at- tended at the Bush residence in Washington last Spring when Peres was a guest, along with Secretary of State Shultz and other members of the administra- tion. Bush and Peres were friend- ly then. Their get-together in Ben Gurion's living room was a further demonstration of their close rela- tionship and, to me, was one of the highlights of the entire trip. ANOTHER valuable gathering was in Jerusalem when Bush met with a group of young Israeli leaders including represen- tatives from the government, the media, business and the arts. It was a good mix of the many strains of opinion that exist in Israeli society and gave Bush an unusual chance to experience the Continued on Page 9-B Runoff Sept. 30th Primary '86 Results Voters went to the polls Tues- day to decide numerous races state and county wide.

The announcement was made by Federation President Aaron Podhurst. Aaron Podhurst Podhurst noted, "Synagogues have always been the traditional center of continuity in Jewish life in every com- munity. It is the house of assembly and learning as well as the house of prayer." "During 'Synagogue Mobilization Month' our Federation urges all people who are not presently affiliated with a synagogue to participate actively in the richness and beau- ty that synagogues can offer," Podhurst continued. Podhurst noted that individuals and families who are in- terested in obtaining synagogue membership information can contact the Rabbinical Association of Greater Miami. The Rabbinical Association, which has offices in the Federation building, will offer information on Orthodox, Conservative, Reform and Reconstructionist synagogues throughout the community to help guide residents. Page 2-B The Jewish FToridian/Friday, September 5, 1986 Are Israelis 'Shnorrers'? Jewish Agency Booklet Says So By SHMUEL SHMTZER American Jewry con- tributes $400 million for Israeli needs annually. Their generosity entitles them to have a say in the allocation of this money to participate in the management of the Jewish Agency and the World Zionist Organiza- tions, which deckled upon the distribution of Diaspora Jewry's contributions. If they are certain that these two organizations are not fuction- ing as they should, and that the party-based distribution of authority in the Jewish Agency and the WZO is the roots of all evils, then they have every right to demand changes in the organizational structure and infrastructure. IF THEY as certain, however, that a pamphlet detailing their complaints and proposals can be "embellished" with illustrations showing Israeli Jews and not necessarily Jewish Agency of- ficials running down a hill on which the Zionist flag is firmly planted, to a valley where there is a flag in the shape of a dollar bill; if they are certain that Israeli Jews can be portrayed as long- nosed thnorrert standing aside a cannon and jet fighter extending a long, long hand t the Jewish benefactor in America; if they feel it necessary to portray the rela- tion of Diaspora Jewry to Israel in the form of an upside-down menorah with an unidentifiable hand stuffing dollars into its base and Israeli Jews standing below, eagerly grabbing the dollars which are spewing forth from each of the seven branches of the menorah; when they portray the American contributors bearing the Zionist burden, while the Israelis are fighting among themselves then they expect to buy much more than the right to an opinion, to which every con- tributor is, naturally, entitled. The pamphlet is called "Where Do Our Dollars Go*" Its illustra- tions have been called anti- Semitic, or at beat, in very poor taste. Whoever published it, and whoever distributed it among the delegates to the Jewish Agency Assembly which convened in Jerusalem recently, is neither prepared to divulge his identity nor to voice his accusations in the open. IF THE purpose of the pam- phlet is to initiate a debate on the management of the Jewish Agen- cy and the WZO, and the manner in which they allocate the resources which Diaspora Jewry has made available to them, then it has failed. Such a debate cannot begin with one side showing con- tempt for the other and letting it know that it is no better than a miserable shnorrer who solicits funds under false pretenses and them misuses them. Israeli Jews need financial aid perhaps no less than Diaspora Jews need a com- mon cause for which to rally And yet, Israel does not need the aid so badly as to agree to any way in which it is extended, in- cluding insults and contempt. At any rate, the question of who real- ly bears the burden of the State and its existence deserves greater consideration. World Jewry so the pamphlet informs us has contributed more than $8 billion to the Jewish Agency since the establishment of the State of Israel. A very im- pressive figure! A bit less im preawve alongside Israel's current budget of morew than $20 billion. Even if we deduct $3 billion in American aid, it is still more than double the contributions of world This article first appeared in 'Maariv' on June 27. Jewry during the last W years. This is not said to belittle the role of Diaspora Jewry. It is, by all means, respectable and conssv tent. Over the years, the value of the dollar has decreased con- siderably, while the average in- come of the Jewish family in America has risen considerably. Jewish campaign funds have, more or leas, remained the same: about $400 million annually, or 2.5 percent of what Israelis will pay in taxes, customs and excise this year, to insure the continued ex- istence and development of then- state. ISRAEL'S JEWS are great debaters. They discuss and debate 101 issues: hawks v. doves, religious extremists v. militant secularists, socialists v. social con- servatives, Ethiopian olim v. the Rabbinate, coalition partners fighting among themselves, workers fighting for employment and increased wages, develop- ment town residents arguing against settlers in Judea and Samaria, various interest groups competing for a share of the na- tional budget, proponents of law and order take their stand against lawbreakers. There is no end to the hullabaloo, no limit to the con- troversy. Yet. amidst all this tumult, everyone bears his part of the financial burden, which is among the heaviest in the world and is only a small part of the overall burden we have to bear. There is also the security burden to which Diaspora Jewry contributes no more than admira- tion and pride. When Khadafy or Arafat threaten to increase ter- ror, we don't cancel our trips to the Middle East until the fury dies down. We live in terror. When a war doesn't progress as we ex- pected, we debate extensively from uitkin. not from without. The Jews living in America? A small group of community workers which represents itself? A lone Israeli vored graphic artist who not long ago lived among us, but has exchanged the blue and white flag for one made of dollars, and has found Jews in America willing to pay for his efforts to pin the blame on us? THE DEBATE between Zionists in Israel and America seems not only legitimate, but also necessary especially regarding issues discussed in the sponsorless pamphlet. Both parties to the debate must recognize the great difference between one who is in- volved body and soul in Zionist fulfillment and one who wants to wield control from afar. The first undoubtedly makes more mistakes but also bears the risks and pays for his mistakes. Therefore he will always demand the final say. And the one who contributes a small part of his wealth to the partnership without becoming too personally involved will have to come to terms with the distribution of authority. On this basis, it is definitely possible to examine the com- plaints and accusations in the pamphlet. For example, the charge that Zionist money should not be used to encourage anti- Zionist education in ultra- Orthodox institutions or the charge that shliehim (emissaries) be chosen according to the posi- tion, and sent to places where they will be best utilized. UNDERSTANDABLY, there is reason to whitewash the ques- tion of how much of Jewish cam- paign funds allocated to Israel should be rechanneled to the Diaspora in the form of ihlxchxm. teachers, or institutions which non-Orthodox bodies seek to set up in Israel not as centers for their members who plan to make aliya. but as a substitute to auya. and youth education centers with short-term programs aimed at in- culcating the youth with Jewish heritage before they return to America. This demand entails the implied threat that if the Conservative and Reform movements are not allocated the funds they demand, they will re-examine then- commit- ment to the United Jewish Ap- peal. This style of debate is nothing new. It is consistent with the tone of the entire pamphlet, that the money contributed by Diaspora Jewry does not become the property of the Zionist Move- ment of the State of Israel, but re- mains "our" dollars. These threats are two-sided. Or- thodox contributors can also threaten to re-examine their com- mitment to the UJA if they feel they are financing what they see as "harmful" institutions. It is very simple to reach a division of financial contributions of Diaspora Jewry into a large number of campaigns, with each one allocating funds as it wishes. Whoever sees fit to discredit the political divisions in Israel and the political considerations which guide the Jewish Agency and the WZO. must consider whether changing the inter-political divi- sions for inter-stream divisions will actually be an improvement. With all due respect and -ecognition of the rights of American Jewish contributors. I feel there are many things they have yet to learn. Public debate, its style, and argumentation are not least among them. And hundreds of reserve soldiers return from military service straight to demonstrations without even changing clothes.

IT IS TRUE that many aspects of our lives in Israel run along par- ty lines the government, jobs, honors, and certainly, budget allocations. This system, un- doubtedly, leaves much to be desired. Yet. it is far better and far more democratic than other systems: that of American Jewry where leadership is determined according to financial means and not according to elections (which are never held) or the relative distribution of forces. In Israel, with our distorded democracy, at least we know who authorized whom, and who is speaking for whom. In America, the depoliticization has brought about a situation in which it is im- possible to clarify whether an opi- nion represents the entire Jewish community, certain sectors, or merely one Jewish millionaire or another. One thing is certain. Our system is far from perfect, but before we change it for the apolitical system of Jewish organizations in America, we would like to know who referred to us in the language of anti-Semitic caricatures and the question, "Where Do Our Dollars Go?"

Symptoms of burnout are numerous: chronic fatigue, high absenteeism, cynicism, low motivation, increased irritability, inability to concentrate or make decisions, increased blood pressure, higher accident rate, heavier drinking and smoking. DR. SOL LANDAU, former spiritual leader of Miami's oldest temple, Beth David Congregation, and whose career as a rabbi has spanned 35 years, explores the burnout syndrome and the painful realities of midlife crises in his new book. "Turning Points: Self- Renewal at Midlife." recently published by New Horizon Press. Dr. Landau's inspirational and evocative study basically a "why-to" and "how-to-do-it" book offers practical advice and methods for coping with mid-life rises so that the crises themselves can be turned around for positive self-examination to revive spirits and open new doors. Utilizing case histories, life check lists, the latest research in the field and nearly four decades of personal counseling, Dr. Lan- dau set as his goal the renewal of oneself through self-knowledge and self-development. DR. LANDAU is president and executive director of the Miami- based Mid/Life Services Founda- tion organized in 1981. The Foun- AJV dation was formed to assist business and industry in mid/life problems and career change for executives and employees. The Foundation also engages in research, conducts workshops and seminars, and provides individual and group counseling. "Middle age is a time of intense crisis, a time of great turbulence for many individuals," says Dr. Landau. In his book. Dr. Landau explores the painful realities of mid-life crises which, in varying degrees, can consist of burnout as well as divorce, impotency, sud- den unemployment, widowhood, responsibility for infirm parents and chronic illness. ^ Currently there are more than 45 million Americans in "midlife" j ages 45 to 65. Some social scientist* place midlife between [the ages of 40 and 60; others 35 mi 54. But it is around age 40 it most of the manifestations of he middle years begin to present themselves. FOR MANY, the years of 85-to-55 are the best and the worst of times, writes Dr. Lan- dau. On the one hand, the mid- Fer is in the "command genera- on," often at the peak of earning power, with an established family and goals achieved. On the other hand, indicates Dr. Landau, there is an increasing Sensation that life is passing by as mortality becomes internalized. he value of one's work becomes nore elusive, and the glories of youth fade but are constantly auted by society. "Industry," notes Dr. Landau, ['is becoming increasingly aware f the need to deal with the pro- blems of mid-life. Lower morale, lecreased productivity, high senteeism and employee bur- nout have a deleterious impact on usiness." Dr. Landau estimates fiat the monetary loss to U.S. ftusiness is $15 billion a year on turnout alone. Dr. Landau reached one of his wn "turning points" in life in Dr. Sol Landau 1981 when he took an early retire- ment from the pulpit at Beth David. He finished his PhD degree in adult education from Florida State University. He earlier earn- ed degrees from Brooklyn College and New York University. In ad- dition to serving as president of Mid/Life Services, he was adjunct full professor of psychology at the University of Miami. THE SON and grandson of rab- bis in Berlin. Sol Landau and his family came to the U.S. in 1940 via London. Two years later, young Sol, now a U.S. citizen, was back in Europe, this time serving in the U.S. Army. Before coming to Miami, Dr. Landau led congregations in Ohio and Illinois. He has served on such Boards as the Florida Council on Aging and the Mental Health Association of Dade County. His writings have been published in both religious and secular magazines. Dr. Landau and his wife, Gabriela, a vice president of Prudential-Bache Investments in Coral Gables, have been married for 35 years and live at Grove Isle. The Landaus have a son. Ezra, and a daughter. Tamara.

Miami-based philanthropist and civic activist Nathan Rood, whose wife is af- flicted with Alzheimer's Disease, has announced an endowment for the establishment and continua- tion of a new Alzheimer's pro- gram at the Miami Jewish Home and Hospital for the Aged. The Roddy C. Rood Foundation will provide an initial 1250,000 in 1986 and additional funds each year thereafter to go toward assessment, care and maintenance of Alzheimer's pa- tients, as well as the training of professional and care staff who deal with these special patients. To this end, a 28-bed Alzheimer's Unit will be set up as a pilot program at the Miami Jewish Home specifically for residents afflicted with Alzheimer's Disease. The pro- gram will be the first of its kind in Florida to fund a combination of Alzheimer's clinical care and staff training in a long-term care facility. "Slowly, Alzheimer's Disease cripples the mind and the spirit while we can do very little to ar- New Edition Of Rosh Hashana Home Reader It was announced that a new edition of the Rosh Hashana Home Reader is now ready for free distribution by Congregation Kol Yisroel Chaverim, according to Rabbi Rubin R. Dobin, spiritual leader of the Congregation. The new publication contains explana- tions about the traditional customs and ceremonies concern- ing the High Holyday observance, as well as selected prayers in Hebrew and English which are recited during the observance. A special section of the leaflet is devoted to several modern poetry renditions which highlight the deep significance of the holiday.

"This new unit will not only care for those afflicted with Alzheimer's Disease, it will pro- vide the best training for those who will be working directly with Alzheimer's patients. I think the Miami Jewish Home is best qualified to do this because they are closest to the problem and have had the most experience with it." The Roddy C. Rood Founda- tion's endowment is also unique in that it is the first ongoing grant to the Miami Jewish Home to be specifically used for direct care and training. The program is scheduled to go into effect early in September, 1986. Nathan Rood, a retired U.S. Ar- my Colonel and real estate developer, is the former president of the American Jewish Commit- tee and is a former officer and member of the Board of Trustees of Temple Israel. He and his wife Roddy are Humanitarian Founders of the Miami Jewish Home.

"They're both involv- ed with the head," says Dr. Lev Neymotin, a mechanical engineer with Brookhaven National Laboratory and the inventor of Kippon, a new device to keep a yarmulke on the head without bobby pins or clips. The Russian emigre, recently naturalized as a U.S. citizen, hit on a special type of V'elcro those strips with tiny nylon heads that fasten together which could be taped inside a yarmulke to grip the hair for easy hold. Now named and packaged. Kippon is being test-marketed mostly in the Now York metropolitan area. THE JINGLE on the Kippon package proclaims: "No more bob- by pins, no more clips! Say good- bye to anxiety trips! Fits all sizes adult or child. Fits all hair types, straight or wild." Instructions show how the Kip- pon strips attach to the yarmulke and how to agitate the yarmulke on the head, pressing down until the Kippon meshes with the hair. The meshing process is a comfor- table one, with no pull felt on the hair, since the Kippon rounded "heads" are tiny and catch the hair easily. To remove the yarmulke, simply pull it gently away. For shorter hair. Dr. Neymotin recommends agitating the yarmulke with Kip- pon slightly more on the head than for the long hair, exerting pressure. To be doubly sure that the Kip- pon strips stick to the yarmulke. Dr. Neymotin suggests ironing the glue side of the Kippon strips before removing the protective paper. Using a warm iron makes the glue stickier, and it will penetrate faster into the yar- mulke when pressed in. HOW DID Kippon come about? The idea of an invisible, conve- nient device to keep a yarmulke in place was the brainchild of Rabbi Sholom Ber Schapiro. While teaching a class in Chassidus on Long Island, he noticed that a young man, interested in becom- ing religious, and who usually wore a yarmulke, was bareheaded. Concerned, Rabbi Schapiro ask- ed him why. The answer was that the young man had lost the critical bobby pin. Worried that the man was going to stop wearing the yarmulke altogether. Rabbi Schapiro wondered if there was a superior solution to the bobby pin. His focus on the subject carried News Brief TEL AVIV (WNS) Textile exports rose during the first seven months of 1986 from $203 million last year to $257 million this year, according to Yochanan Levy, director of the Ministry of In- dustry and Trade's Textile and Light Industries division. him as far away as Israel, where he made contact with Prof. Her- man Branover, who specializes in magneto-hydrodynamics. Rabbi Schapiro thought thay maybe there was some kind of chemical solution or very sophisticated magnetism that would provide the answer. BRANOVER REFERRED Rabbi Schapiro to Dr. Lev Nemotin, living in the U.S. on Long Island, and whom Branover had known back in Russia. Neymotin. rather than explor- ing scientific means, seized upon the idea of Velcro. After market research, and trial and error, Dr. Neymotin selected the width and density of Velcro that worked best in terms of attaching to hair. Most ordinary Velcro did not do the job. Said Rabbi Schapiro of his part- nership with Dr. Neymotin: "I thought about the problem for a whole year. When I found Lev, he pushed the idea, and within two weeks we had a product." Rabbi Schapiro, who is handling Kippon's distribution, advises that the product is available at select Judaica and gift shops throughout the New York metropolitan area. i Nuclear Engineer Lei- S'eymotin (left) congratulates his partner.

Talks On Taba Continuing JERUSALEM (JTA) The director-general of the Foreign Ministry, David Kimche, and the Ministry's Legal Adviser, Robbi Sabel, left for Cairo Wednesday (Aug. 27) for a meeting with Ismet Abdul Meguid, Egypt's Foreign Minister. The purpose of the visit is to "complete the preparations toward signing the Taba com- promise," according to political sources in Jerusalem. An agree- ment on procedures for submit- ting the boundary dispute over Taba to a panel of international arbitrators was concluded three weeks ago by Israel and Egypt. But the two countries have not yet agreed on who will be the arbitrators. The Egyptian weekly al- Musawwar, known to be close to President Hosni Mubarak, reported that the summit between Mubarak and Premier Shimon Peres would take place Sept. 10 to 11 in Alexandria. The two leaders are expected to meet for several working sessions. The weekly added that Egypt continued to believe that some progress was needed on the Palestinian issue. "Peres would commit a mistake if he came to Alexandria, holding the same views he presented at the summit with King Hassan of Morocco," the paper said. After his historic meeting with Peres in July, the Moroccan monarch stated that Israel's Premier had brought no new ideas on resolving the Palesti- nian problem. Political sources in Jerusalem expressed concern that Egyptian foot-dragging in selecting the three international arbitrators on the Taba dispute might delay the signing ceremony on the com- promise and perhaps even the summit.

"TiMff i tant Glorious Past, A Questionable Future Friday, September 5, 1986/The Jewish Floridian Page 5-B By SHELDON KIRSHNER VIENNA (JTA) The ghosts of the Jewish past haunt Vienna, a stately city now nearly bereft of Jews. There was a time, not that long ago, when Vienna was one of the most important capitals in the diaspora. Before the onslaught of Nazism, Vienna was a place where the flower of Jewish crativity in every con- ceivable field of human endeavor bloomed. Today, more than 40 years after the Nazis carried out their last deportation of Jews from Vienna, there "are relatively few signs reminding a visitor of what used to be. The glory that was pre- war Jewish Vienna is kept alive in old buildings, plaques, street markers and in the minds of peo- ple with long memories. By the early 1930's, when the threat of German National Socialism seemed imminently real to some and far off to others. Jews comprised about eight percent of Vienna's population. DESPITE BEING a minority. Jews played a dominant role in practically all aspects of life in Vienna. It is probably fair to say that the influence they exercised here was far more pervasive than Jews exercise in the U.S. today. Jews were granted full civic equality in 1848, but it was not un- til 1867 that Jewish emancipation was made permanent by law. Now able to let their energy, talent and imagination run free, Jews took advantage of the relatively liberal political and social climate in Austria and, in unprecedented numbers, entered professions like law and medicine. Hans Kelsen. a professor of con- stitutional law at the University of Vienna, wrote Austria's post-1918 constitution, the tenets of which were incorporated into its present-day constitution. ROBERT BAR ANY won the Nobel Prize in physiology, and another Nobel Prize laureate, Karl Landsteiner. discovered the four main human blood types. Si^ mund Freud opened up new horizons in psychiatry. They were prominent in every facet of the economic system. They published newspapers; they ran hanks; they owned facories. Arguably, they made their greatest mark in the arts. There were writers like Arthur Schnitzler, Franz Werfel and Stefan Zweig. There were stage directors and actors like Max Reinhardt and Elizabeth Bergner. And there were musicians like Ar- nold Schoenberg, Gustav Mahler, Carl Goldmark. Artur Schnabel and Bruno Walter. Vienna was a center of modern Zionism. Theodor Herzl, the author of "The Jewish State," liv- ed and worked in Vienna. As a correspondent in Paris for the Neue Freie Prease, he was con- verted to Zionism by the notorious Dreyfus Affair. Vienna, for a while, became the headquarters of the Zionist Executive. PERTZ SMOLENSKIN. one of the founders of the Zionist reawakening, resided in Vienna. And Nathan Birnbaum founded the first Jewish nationalist stu- dent association, Kadimah, here. At the height of the Jewish renaissance, Vienna was home to approximately 170,000 Jews. The less successful ones lived in the first district, now a prime shopp- "ig area, and the better-off ones were concentrated in the ninth district, the site of the venerable University of Vienna. The 1938 Anschluss, the annex- ation of Austria into Germany, spelled finis to the Jewish com- munity. Nazi Germany, having devastated German Jewry, pro- ceded to humiliate and disenfran- chise the Jews of Austria. Jews lost their livelihood, their synagoues were burned on Crystal Night, and they were forc- ed out of the country. Many emigrated, but 65,000 would not or could not leave, and by 1945 they had been killed. Today. 41 years after the downfall of the Third Reich. Vien- na is like a Jewish mausoleum. In Juden Platz. once a choice address for wealthier Jewish families, there are non-sectarian restaurants and shops, as well as masses of parked cars. The Judengasse. formerly the center of Jewish commercial activity, is just like any other street in con- temporary Vienna: the Jewish names are gone. IN A LITTLE park near the Judengasse. a plaque com- memorates the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. This was where the luxurious Hotel Metropol. the headquarters of the Gestapo, stood. During the war. Allied bombers destroyed it. Up the street, one can find the magnificent Seitenstettengasse Synagogue. An impressive struc- ture with a starry blue dome, it was built in 1826. concealed behind an apartment house on a narrow, cobblestone street. The Nazis, in their maniacal ef- fort to eradicate all traces of Jewish culture, tired to burn it to the gound. The arsonists damaged the interior considerably, dousing the fire only because they feared it would spread to the rest of the neighborhood. In 1963, the synagogue the site of a 1981 Palestinian terrorist attack which resulted in three deaths was renovated. The area around it has become a fashionable, somewhat bohemian nightspot. THERE IS a kosher restaurant, the Arche Noah, but it has fallen on hard times because few Jewish tourists are visiting Vienna in the wake of the Kurt Waldheim affair. And there is an Israeli restaurant, Mapitome. a non-kosher facility which attracts a young, beautiful clientele. Compared to Vienna's other synagogues, the Seitenstet- tengasse Synagogue suffered a rather mild fate. The so-called Polish synagogue, constructed in a Moorish-Byzantine style, was firebombed. A featureless housing estate stands on its site. There is a vacant lot on Grosse Schiffgasse. and a glimpse through the fence reveals rotting car chassis, fruit trees growing wild and a rusting crane. This is where the Schiffschule, a synagogue of Vienna's Hugarian Jews, stood. The Turkischer Tempel, where Vienna's Sephardic Jews worship- ped, is now nothing more than a weed-choked lot behind a wall of billboards. The Grosser Tempel, designed by one of Vienna's foremost architects, Ludwig Frankl, is occuppied by a car park. SIGMUND FREUD'S house, on 19 Berggasae, has not met such a sorrowful fate. Now a museum, in the ninth district, it chronicles his life and career through the media of photographs, letters and documents. Freud, who emigrated from Vienna to London a year before he died, lived in this apart- ment building from 1891 until 1938. There is a framed photo of Freud posing with his children, and one of the great man obvious- ly enjoying himself in the German Alpine resort of Berchtesgaden, which Hitler favored. When Freud was 70, he was honored by B'nai B'rith. Freud, in a letter, recalled the event by com- menting on his Jewishness: "What tied me to Judaism was I have to admit it not the faith, not even the national pride, for I was always an unbeliever But there remained enough to make the attraction of Judaism and the Jews irresistible." The saddest picture is of Freud's aged mother and her daughters in an Austrian resort, circa 1925, on the occasion of her 90th birthday. The faces are neither sad nor happy, and they look down at you from the im- mense distance of another era. Most of the people in the photograph were murdered in Auschwitz and Theresienstadt. THE FREUD musuem rein- forces the belief that Jewish Vien- na, or what is left of it, cannot be seen outside the context of the Holocaust. Leon Zelman is one man who firmly believes this. Zelman, a Polish survivor who lost his whole family in the war, runs the state-subsidized Jewish Welcome Service, which en- courages Jews and non-Jews alike to explore Vienna's Jewish legacy. "Austria wants to forget the Holocaust," he says, "but Austria does not want to forget the con- tribution of Jews to this country. Hitler killed the Jews of Austria, but we will not allow him to kill off the spiritual Jewish life of Vienna." In that optimistic spirit, the Jewish Welcome Service publishes an annual book on various facets of Jewish Vienna and organizes occasional exhibitions. Last year, Zelman, in conjunc- tion with London's Institute of Jewish Affairs, mounted Vienna's biggest postwar Jewish festival. Entitled "The Lost World," it revolved around the photos of Roman Vishniac, the Polish Jewish photographer who cap- tured the essence of East Euro- pean Jewry before the Nazi calamity. THE MAYOR of Vienna, Helmut Zilk. tendered a kosher reception in the city's gothic city hall, and the speech he delivered best sums up the wonderful, but erratic, symbiotic relationship that arose between the Jews and Vienna in the 19th and the early 20th centuries. "No history of Vienna," he said, "would be complete if it did not in- clude an account of the city's Jewish community, which has perhaps done more than any other group ... to mold its cultural and intellectual life. Vienna owes a profound debt, of gratitude to its Jewish residents." LaRouche Supporter Fined For Disorderly Conduct In A Synagogue SKOKIE, III. (JTA) Janice Hart, the Lyndon LaRouche sup- porter who won the Democratic nomination for Illinois Secretary of State, was found guilty here of disorderly conduct for her actions in a Chicago suburban synagogue following her attempt to change the trial venue because the presiding judge was Jewish. Judge Morris Topol denied her motion. After two hours of deliberation, a jury found her guil- ty, and she was fined $500, the maximum for such a conviction. According to the World Jewish Congress Unit on the Documenta- tion of International Anti- Semitism, Hart disrupted an ad- dress by Milwaukee Archbishop Rembert Weakland before the North Shore Congregation Israel Temple in Glencoe last year. At her trial, congregation members testified that on May 7, 1985 Hart approached the Ar- chbishop with a cardboard box and pulled out a piece of raw liver and shoved it at Weakland. Hart claimed she was protesting his support for the International Monetary Fund which she said backs South Africa's policy of apartheid. Prosecutors said that another LaRouche supporter was in the temple shouting pro- LaRouche slogans during the incident. 68 Just Now and Then! 1M $500 publix Gift Certificate With Each New Subscription 1 Year $-j Q00 52 Issues 18' A Check Must Accompany Order As A New Subscriber To The Jewish Floridian.

Katzki, who retired as assistant executive vice president of the JDC in 1979. but who continues as a full-time volunteer, was hailed by some 100 colleagues and friends. To mark the golden an- niversary. Ralph Goldman, ex- ecutive vice president, presented Katzki with a nickel, silver and pyrex Chanukah menorah by the noted artist Ludwig Wolpert. Katzki first joined the JDC staff in New York in 1936. He was assigned to the organization's European headquarters in Pans in 1939 and was named secretary of JDC's European Executive Council in 1940. One day before Nazi troops entered Paris in June of that year. Katzki closed JDC's headquarters and moved the office to Lisbon, Portugal.

' Friday, September 5, 1986/The Jewish Floridian Page 7-B Revival Of Yiddish As Viable Language Dismissed By Linguist By BEN GALLOB A professor of Yiddish studies warns that the Rowing American interest in Yiddish language and culture should not be 'misinterpreted as language recovery." David Gold, co-editor of Jewish Language Review, makes his observations in a recent issue of Sh'ma, citing two lengthy articles about Yid- dish in The New York Times. He contends that progressively fewer Jews use Yiddish as their everyday language, except for Hasidim and other ultra-Orthodox Jews; that less and less culture "is being created in Yiddish; and ever more of the old (Yiddish) culture is finding a haven only in archives and libraries and on researchers' desks." "Yiddish was once the native, primary and habitual language of all of Ashkenazic Jewry," he writes. But, in the late 18th Cen- tury, Yiddish began to be used less by Ashkenazim in central Europe, and, starting in the 19th Century, also less frequently in Kastern Europe. THE HOLOCAUST dealt a savage blow to Yiddish, he ex- plains. Repression in the Soviet Union, "Hebraitation" and discouragement in Israel, and a shift to other languages almost everywhere in the 20th Century, also "have taken their toll." Gold asserts that the so-called revival of Yiddish "limited mostly to North America" is simply "the kindling of a small flame of curiosity about the language and its culture, rather than a significant increase in its use." He suggested that lovers of Yid- dish not permit themselves to be deluded "into thinking that a language can maintain itself in this artificial fashion." If Yiddish were healthy, he con- tends, it would not be necessary to collect hundreds of thousands of Yiddish books in order to save them from extinction by indif- ference or ignorance. GOLD CITES the National Yid- dish Book Center of Amherst. Mass.. for rescuing about 350.000 Yiddish books "but it has succeed- ed in selling only about 5.000 and most of these have gone to libraries at colleges and univer- sities rather than into people's homes." He agrees that the Yiddish theater "continues to make itself felt" but the season "grows shorter over the years." Moreover, he declares that this theater "is shunned by ultra- Orthodox Ashkenazim among whom the language has the only chance of survival and pro- ducers must now resort to more and more translations or to Yid- dish interspread with English because they are playing" to au- diences "who understand little or nothing for the language." Gold reports that since the early 1950s, nearly every Israeli college has introduced Yiddish studies. He directs that program at the University of Haifa. But relatively few students take these courses and virtually "no Israeli-born students hsve become researchers of Yiddish language, literature or culture, let alone Yiddish speakers." IN NORTH AMERICA, he declares, Yiddish has become a steadily more popular subject of study at colleges, "so much so that we Israeli teachers, to tell the truth, look enviously on what is happening on American and Cana- dian campuses today." Why? Gold explains that "most Ashkenazi students in North America are the grandchildren, if not the great-grandchildren of Yiddish-speaking immigrants hence their interest in Yiddish is largely nostalgic or antiquarian; whereas most Ashkenazi students in Israel today are the children of immigrants hence it is too ear- ly" in Israel "for nostalgia or antiquarianism." Gold contends that to be sus- tained now. Yiddish must either be withdrawn from the modern world or "become the official language of a political entity." which Gold called a "chimeric expectation."

Neither shalt thou set thee up a pillar, which the Lord thy God hateth (Deuteronomy 16.18-tt). "At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is to die be put to death; at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death" (Deuteronomy 17.6). If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment thou shalt arise, and get thee up unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose And thou shalt do according to the tenor of the sentence which they shall declare unto thee from that place which the Lord shall choose" (Deuteronomy 17.8-9). If. like the other nations, the children of Israel in Canaan should desire a king "Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the Lord thy God shall choose; one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee; thou mayest not put a foreigner over thee, who is not thy brother. Only he shall not multiply horses to himself. Neither shall he multiply wives to himself Neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold ... He shall write a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the priests the Levites. And it shall be with him. and he shall read therein all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear the Lord his God" (Deuteronomy 17.15-19). The children of Israel may ex- Cct prophets to rise in the Promised Land, men of God like oses himself. "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which he shall speak in My name. I will require it of him" (Deuteronomy 18.19). How may the Israelites distinguish a true prophet from a false one? "When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken; the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously, thou shalt not be afraid of him" (Deuteronomy 18.St) The portion also treats of the cities of refuge. It cites the speech that the priest and officers are to make to troops before battle, and states the laws of warfare that apply to any city not of the seven Canaanite nations. The por- tion ends with the regulations dealing with the heifer offered as atonement when a slain person is found in the field and the identi- ty of the murderer is not known.

Laurie Farber and Ada Meltzer. long-time Jewish educators in South Dade. were recently ap- pointed to head Judaic Studies at the Arthur and Anna Goldstein Hebrew Academy. The private Jewish community day school, built upon the 16-year leacy of the former South Dade Hebrew Academy, opened its doors on Tuesday, with an enhanc- ed Judaic Studies Program. "One of the most important things I can do with my life is to pass on Judaism to kids," states Laurie Farber of her appointment to Judaic Studies Head Teacher for Upper Grades at the Academy. She is married to Rabbi Edwin Farber of Temple Samu-El. Also a dedicated educator, Ada Meltzer will head Judaic Studies in the Academy's early childhood program and primary grades. The goal for preschool through 3rd grade Hebrew Academy students, according to Meltzer, is for them "to be happy in what they are learning, know why they are Jewish, be proud that they are Jewish, and then practice their Judaism in everyday life." The Arthur and Anna Goldstein Hebrew Academy is located on the grounds of the South Dade Jewish Community Center. Rabbi Ralph Z. Glixman heads the Academy. SPECIALLY FOR SINGLES Are you Single?

Otto Reidemann. 74. went on trial in West Berlin charged with the beating deaths of at least 20 prisoners, many of them Jews, at the Mauthausen-Gusen concen- tration camp in Austria. The trial is expected to last until the end of this year. More than 15 witnesses are scheduled to give testimony. Reidemann is denying that he murdered prisoners under his jurisdiction. However, in preliminary questioning he admit- ted being involved in arguments which led him to beat inmates.

Israel is tru- ly democracy in action. I can only imagine the contrast between that meeting and later visits by Bush to Jordan and Egypt. Finally, there was the visit with the children, which coincidentally took place immediately before a rather impressive demonstration <>f Israel's military might at Hatzerim Air Base in the Negev. This meeting, held sitting on a great lawn at a kibbutz with Prime Minister Feres, helped Bush understand the determina- tion of Israelis to hang onto their tiny piece of real estate, regardless of their disagreements over timing and methods. In addition, through his conver sations with us during the tour, I think the Vice President came to letter understand the affinity that Jews throughout the world feel toward Israel. Israel's ex- istence is very much like an in- surance policy whose value, when measured against events in the 20th Century, just can't be questioned. SO WHAT then is the real meaning of the Bush trip to Israel? I think three items men- tioned by Bush in his Knesset speech deserve repetition here. First, the visit confirms this country's solidarity with the Jewish state. It couldn't have !k-'fi clearer when, speaking on behalf of our government, he said, "Our friendship is deep and it is permanent. No wedge can ever be driven between us." Second. Bush confirmed that the U.S. will continue its pressure on the Soviets to open its doors for Jewish emigres. "The oppres- sion of Soviet Jews is a permanent item on the U.S.-Soviet agenda." he said. Third, the U.S. will remain Israel's closest friend in the United Nations. "If Israel is ever voted out of the United Nations, the United States will go out with it," he said. Those who were expecting some dramatic progress to result from the visit may be disappointed. WE OURSELVES had hoped that a solution to the Taba dispute with Egypt could have been an- nounced and there was an expec- tation that the Bush trip would be extended to include a stop in Morocco, the scene of the recent talks between Peres and King Hassan. Neither took place, prov- ing once again that progress is painfully slow in the Middle East. From another perspective, however, the very absence of ma- jor news is a positive sign. It demonstrates that the American- Israeli partnership is alive and well. That in itself may be the best news of all for the eventual solu- tion of the Middle East peace nuzzle. Jewish Community Aids Victims Of Cameroon Volcanic Gas Leak NEW YORK (JTA) Lester Pollack, president of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater New York, presented a check for $5,000 to Tommo Mon- the, charge d'affaires at the Cameroon Mission to the United Nations, to help the surviving vic- tims of the volcanic gas leak in that country which killed an estimated 1,500 people. Pollack, speaking on behalf of the JCRC's 61 member organiza- tions in the metropolitan area, carried a message of compassion on behalf of the New York Jewish community. "The Jewish people worldwide." Pollack told Monthe, "identify with your grief during these trying times and we in New York are prepared to offer whatever assistance we can render." Pollack pointed out that the Council was spearheading a fund- raising drive in the Jewish and the general community for relief funds to purchase desperately needed supplies and medicines to aid those remaining in the stricken area. While presenting the initial donation to the relief effort. Pollack said that he hoped that "this humanitarian gesture would serve as a catalyst for additional charitable acts designed to help the Cameroon people" during this period of crisis. At the 30-minute meeting. Pollack, who was joined by JCRC executive director Malcolm Hoenlein and Assistant Executive Director Michael Miller, also praised Cameroon President Paul Biya for restoring diplomatic rela- tions with Israel. "The historic visit of Israeli Prime Minister Peres to Yaounde marks a turning point in relations between Israel and black Africa." Pollack stated. "We are confident that the Judeo-Christian tradition shared by these two nations will serve as the foundation for the beginning of a long-term relationship and a commitment to sharing mutual cares and concerns." Pollack pointed to Israeli doctors and field hospitals at the disaster site as reflecting the common interests and relationship of Cameroon and Israel. LIPINSKY.

ADL Urges West German State Not to Revive First Verse of National Anthem NEW YORK (JTA) The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith has called upon officials of the West German state of Baden Wurttemberg to reconsider their "ill-advised decision" to revive the long-banned first verse of the national anthem which contains the words Deutsckiand vber alien. In a cable to Baden Wurttemberg's President Lothar Spaeth, Abraham Foxman, ADL's associate national director and head of its International Affairs Division, pointed out that the words Deutsekland uber (dies, "like the swastika, symbolize to the world the brutality of Nazism. Giving legitimacy to such a highly identifiable symbol of the Nazi regime can only weaken the effort to educate the public of Nazism's evil and can raise questions about the German commitment to reject that past." A copy of the ADL cable was also sent to Gunther van Well, West Germany's Ambassador to the United States. Israeli Scientist Visiting China JERUSALEM (JTA) Prof. Yosef Singer, chairman of Israel Air Industries and president of the Haifa Technion, is visiting the People's Republic of China. Haarttz reported. Singer, who considered a senior scientist in the field of aeronautics, is in China on what was described as a "profes- sional" visit.

Pat Robertson Presidential Candidate By RABBI MARC H. TANENBAUM I first met the Rev. Pat Robertson several years ago at his impressive Christian Broad- casting Network in Virginia Beach. He in- vited me to be his guest on his popular talk- show, the 700 Club, and we talked at length about church-state relations. This telegenic Baptist preacher is warm, friendly and folksy. On a personal level, he is a likeable man. As a candidate for the Presidency of the United States, frankly he frightens me. During our lively 700 Club interview, Pat Robertson said that America is in moral decline, and the only way to save our nation was to restore it as a Christian nation. I tried to persuade him that he was distorting American history and that he is betraying everything Thomas Jefferson. James Madison and Benjamin Franklin struggled to achieve in a pluralistic American democracy. Pat remained impervious to any historic evidence that did not conform to his myth of a Christian America. In a current cover story in New York magazine, Michael Kramer cites further data about Robertson's views which threaten democracy.

WNSSeven Arts Luxembourg's Foreign Minister Urges Self-Determination For Palestinians r Ethiopian Jews In Israel Star In Israel-American Little League JERUSALEM (JTA) - Baseball may be America's national pasttime, but it cer- tainly is getting a lot of at- tention in Israel these days especially from some young Ethiopians who play for a team called the American Association for Ethiopian Jews (AAEJ) All- Stars. Even though these children had never seen a baseball or bat in their lives, they have shown an amazing aptitude for hitting and throwing. Their secret? Besides enthusiasm, they played a homemade stick and ball game in their grass hut villages in Ethiopia. And, they're all masters of the slingshot the weapon us- ed against marauders at home. The AAEJ All-Stars Team is part of the Little League network being set up in Israel by Randy Kahn. a Little League baseball coach from Houston who visited his sister in Israel in 1985 and became determined to bring the sport to the enthusiastic children here. While Softball is played in Israel, baseball is a new sport in the country. WHEN KAHN returned to Houston, he collected used baseball equipment from synagogues, churches and recra- tion departments and then brought the gear back to Israel, where he began teaching the youngsters the rudiments of the game. Meanwhile, Kahn s father, at- torney Leonard Kahn, also of Houston, created the Israel- American Baseball Corporation, a non-profit organization that rais- ed money for the League in Israel. The games are played on soccer pitches and open grass fields where diamonds are marked out for the 10 teams in the league. In one game this summer, the AAEJ All-Stars faced a mixed squad call- ed the All-Stars from Ramat Hakovesh and Tira, a team con- sisting of Jews from Kibbutz Ramat Hakovesh and Arabs from Tira. It proved to be an upset vic- tory for the Ethiopian team, 5-2, and one that was captured by an NBC-TV crew filming the Opera- tion Moses story. INCLUDED ON the AAEJ All Stars are immigrants from Ethiopia who live at the Be Yehuda Absorption Center in Netanya, an immigrant from the USSR and several kibbutz youngsters. Rabbi Yosef Miller, coordinator of the AAEJ's office in Israel, is excited about Israel-American baseball because of the brotherhood it fosters. "Not only do you have in- teresting ethnic combinations on the teams themselves, but the healthy, honest competition bet- ween the teams helps to strengthen ties than can be hard for some of these kids to form after the hardships they've been through with immigration and separation from their families left behind in Ethiopia." Miller said. By GIL SEDAN JERUSALEM (JTA) - Foreign Minister Jacques Poo* of Luxembourg, who was here on a three-day visit, called on Israel to recognize the right of Palestinians to self-determination. In addition, he said that any Middle East peace talks must include the Palestine Liberation Organization. Poos met with 15 Palestinians from the West Bank, most of them prominent PLO supporters. According to participants at the meeting, he said he supported the 1980 Venice Declaration of the European Economic Community (EEC) that supported Palestinian self-determination and the inclu- sion of the PLO in Mideast peace talks. During his visit to Israel. Poos also met with Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir, who told him that terrorism would have to be eliminated before other Mideast problems could be resolv- ed. Poos reportedly agreed with Shamir's assessment that there would be a continuation of the talks between Israel and the Soviet Union which began m Helsinki recently. In addition. Poos promised to help Israel in speeding up the negotiations on its agricultural ex ports to the EEC. The talks have been bogged down because of Spanish objections to the propos- ed tariff-free quotas for Israel Luxembourg will raise the issue at the meeting of EEC Fore Ministers this month. reign Dade County JWY Auxiliary Meeting Set Phyllis Shaw, president of U* Dade Council Jewish War Veterans advises that the second quarterly meeting will be Sundw morning at the Abe Borrowfa Post and Ladies Aui building.

Mid-Life Crisis
Is Subject Of >r. Sol Landau's New Book "Burnout" is a popular ihrase today for those in the 5-to-55 age bracket who ,ve achieved success but _ at a point where life has lost much of its spark and itality. Symptoms of burnout are lumerous: chrome fatigue, high bsenteeism, cynicism, low lotivation, increased irritability, lility to concentrate or make ecisions, increased blood fcressure, higher accident rate, Jjeavier drinking and smoking. |DR. SOL LANDAU, former Spiritual leader of Miami's oldest "Memple, Beth David Congregation, And whose career as a rabbi has panned 35 years, explores the fcurnout syndrome and the painful Realities of midlife crises in his lew book, "Turning Points: Self- Henewal at Midlife,'' recently aAublished by New Horizon Press. I Dr. Landau's inspirational and ^vocative study basically a why-to" and "how-to-do-it" book B- offers practical advice and Biethods for coping with mid-life rises so that the crises themselves can t>e turned around |or positive self-examination to evive spirits and open new doors. iUtilizing case histories, life eck lists, the latest research in the field and nearly four decades Of personal counseling, Dr. Lan- dau set as his goal the renewal of oneself through self-knowledge tnd self-development. I DR. LANDAU is president and executive director of the Miami- based Mid/Life Services Founda- 1fc>n organized in 1981. The Foun- -S-dation was formed to assist business and industry in mid/life iblems and career change for ;ecutives and employees. The foundation also engages in h, conducts workshops and iminars, and provides individual id group counseling. "Middle age is a time of intense isis, a time of great turbulence many individuals," says Dr. idau. In his book, Dr. Landau lores the painful realities of id-life crises which, in varying ees, can consist of burnout as Well as divorce, impotency, sud- Jpn unemployment, widowhood, sponsibility for infirm parents arid chronic illness. j, Currently there are more than C 45 million Americans in "midlife" .# ages 45 to 65. Some social cientists place midlife between the ages of 40 and 60; others 35 and 54. But it is around age 40 that most of the manifestations of the middle years begin to present themselves. FOR MANY, the years of Jfc-to-55 are the best and the rst of times, writes Dr. Lan- i. On the one hand, the mid- sr is in the "command genera- >n," often at the peak of earning Wer, with an established family ' goals achieved. [On the other hand, indicates Dr. indau, there is an increasing ensation that life is passing by as mortality becomes internalized, .^the value of one's work becomes ore elusive, and the glories of outh fade but are constantly luted by society. "Industry," notes Dr. Landau, 8 becoming increasingly aware the need to deal with the pro- fms of mid-life. Lower morale, (creased productivity, high ?senteeism and employee bur- >ut have a deleterious impact on siness." Dr. Landau estimates it the monetary loss to U.S. Jiness is $15 billion a year on nout alone. p>r. Landau reached one of his "turning points" in life in MJHHA Friday, September 5, 1986/The Jewish Floridian Page 3-B Dr. Sol Landau 1981 when he took an early retire- ment from the pulpit at Beth David. He finished his PhD degree in adult education from Florida State University. He earlier earn- ed degrees from Brooklyn College and New York University. In ad- dition to serving as president of Mid/Life Services, he was adjunct full professor of psychology at the University of Miami. THE SON and grandson of rab- bis in Berlin, Sol Landau and his family came to the U.S. in 1940 via London. Two years later, young Sol, now a U.S. citizen, was back in Europe, this time serving in the U.S. Army. Before coming to Miami, Dr. Landau led congregations in Ohio and Illinois. He has served on such Boards as the Florida Council on Aging and the Mental Health Association of Dade County. His writings have been published in both religious and secular magazines.

Miami-based philanthropist and civic activist Nathan Rood, whose wife is af- flicted with Alzheimer's Disease, has announced an endowment for the establishment and continua- tion of a new Alzheimer's pro- gram at the Miami Jewish Home and Hospital for the Aged. The Roddy C. Rood Foundation will provide an initial $250,000 in 1986 and additional funds each year thereafter to go toward assessment, care and maintenance of Alzheimer's pa- tients, as well as the training of professional and care staff who deal with these special patients. To this end, a 28-bed Alzheimer's Unit will be set up as a pilot program at the Miami Jewish Home specifically for residents afflicted with Alzheimer's Disease. The pro- gram will be the first of its kind in Florida to fund a combination of Alzheimer's clinical care and staff training in a long-term care facility. "Slowly, Alzheimer's Disease cripples the mind and the spirit while we can do very little to ar- New Edition Of Rosh Hashana Home Reader It was announced that a new edition of the Rosh Hashana Home Reader is now ready for free distribution by Congregation Kol Yisroel Chaverim, according to Rabbi Rubin R. Dobin, spiritual leader of the Congregation. The new publication contains explana- tions about the traditional customs and ceremonies concern- ing the High Holyday observance, as well as selected prayers in Hebrew and English which are recited during the observance. A special section of the leaflet is devoted to several modern poetry renditions which highlight the deep significance of the holiday. Roddy and Nathan Rood (right) are congratulated by Miami Jewish Home and Hospital for the Aged Director of Development Steve Rose on the launching of their new Alzheimer's Program. rest its progress,'' explained Rood. "This new unit will not only care for those afflicted with Alzheimer's Disease, it will pro- vide the best training for those who will be working directly with Alzheimer's patients. I think the Miami Jewish Home is best qualified to do this because they are closest to the problem and have had the most experience with it." The Roddy C. Rood Founda- tion's endowment is also unique in that it is the first ongoing grant to the Miami Jewish Home to be specifically used for direct care and training. The program is scheduled to go into effect early in September, 1986. Nathan Rood, a retired U.S. Ar- my Colonel and real estate developer, is the former president of the American Jewish Commit- tee and is a former officer and member of the Board of Trustees of Temple Israel. He and his wife Roddy are Humanitarian Founders of the Miami Jewish Home.

Their generosity entitles them to have a say in the allocation of this money to participate in the management of the Jewish Agency and the World Zionist Organiza- tions, which decided upon the distribution of Diaspora Jewry's contributions. If they are certain that these two organizations are not fuction- ing as they should, and that the party-based distribution of authority in the Jewish Agency and the WZO is the roots of all evils, then they have every right to demand changes in the organisational structure and infrastructure. IF THEY as certain, however, that a pamphlet detailing their complaints and proposals can be "embellished" with illustrations showing Israeli Jews and not necessarily Jewish Agency of- ficials running down a hill on which the Zionist flag is firmly planted, to a valley where there is a flag in the shape of a dollar bill; if they are certain that Israeli Jews can be portrayed as long- nosed shnorrers standing aside a cannon and jet fighter extending a long, long hand t the Jewish benefactor in America; if they feel it necessary to portray the rela- tion of Diaspora Jewry to Israel in the form of an upside-down menorah with an unidentifiable hand stuffing dollars into its base and Israeli Jews standing below, eagerly grabbing the dollars which are spewing forth from each of the seven branches of the menorah; when they portray the American contributors bearing the Zionist burden, while the Israelis are fighting among themselves then they expect to buy much more than the right to an opinion, to which every con- tributor is, naturally, entiUed. The pamphlet is called "Where Do Our Dollars Go?" Its illustra- tions have been called anti- Semitic, or at best, in very poor taste. Whoever published it, and whoever distributed it among the delegates to the Jewish Agency Assembly which convened in Jerusalem recently, is neither prepared to divulge his identity nor to voice his accusations in the open. IF THE purpose of the pam- phlet is to initiate a debate on the management of the Jewish Agen- cy and the WZO, and the manner in which they allocate the resources which Diaspora Jewry has made available to them, then it has failed. Such a debate cannot begin with one side showing con- tempt for the other and letting it know that it is no better than a miserable shnorrer who solicits funds under false pretenses and them misuses them. Israeli Jews need financial aid perhaps no less than Diaspora Jews need a com mon cause for which to rally. And yet, Israel does not need the aid so badly as to agree to any way in which it is extended, in eluding insults and contempt. At any rate, the question of who real- ly bears the burden of the State and its existence deserves greater consideration. World Jewry so the pamphlet informs us has contributed more than $8 billion to the Jewish Agency since the establishment of the State of Israel. A very im pressive figure! A bit less im- pressive alongside Israel's current budget of morew than $20 billion Even if we deduct $3 billion in American aid, it is still more than double the contributions of world This article first appeared in 'Maariv' on June 97. Jewry during the last U0 years. This is not said to belittle the role of Diaspora Jewry. It is, by all means, respectable and conssi- tent. Over the years, the value of the dollar has decreased con- siderably, while the average in- come of the Jewish family in America has risen considerably. Jewish campaign funds have, more or less, remained the same: about $400 million annually, or 2.5 percent of what Israelis will pay in taxes, customs and excise this year, to insure the continued ex- istence and development of their state. ISRAEL'S JEWS are great debaters. They discuss and debate 101 issues: hawks v. doves, religious extremists v. militant secularists, socialists v. social con- servatives, Ethiopian olim v. the Rabbinate, coalition partners fighting among themselves, workers fighting for employment and increased wages, develop- ment town residents arguing against settlers in Judea and Samaria, various interest groups competing for a share of the na- tional budget, proponents of law and order take their stand against lawbreakers. There is no end to the hullabaloo, no limit to the con- troversy. Yet, amidst all this tumult, everyone bears his part of the financial burden, which is among the heaviest in the world and is only a small part of the overall burden we have to bear. There is also the security burden to which Diaspora Jewry contributes no more than admira- tion and pride. When Khadafy or Arafat threaten to increase ter- ror, we don't cancel our trips to the Middle East until the fury dies down. We live in terror. When a war doesn't progress as we ex- pected, we debate extensively from within, not from without. The Jews living in America? A small group of community workers which represents itself? A lone Israeli yored graphic artist who not long ago lived among us. but has exchanged the blue and white flag for one made of dollars, and has found Jews in America willing to pay for his efforts to pin the blame on us? THE DEBATE between Zionists in Israel and America seems not only legitimate, but also necessary especially regarding issues discussed in the sponsorless pamphlet. Both parties to the debate must recognize the great difference between one who is in- volved body and soul in Zionist fulfillment and one who wants to wield control from afar. The first undoubtedly makes more mistakes but also bears the risks and pays for his mistakes. Therefore he will always demand the final say. And the one who contributes a small part of his wealth to the partnership without becoming too personally involved will have to come to terms with the distribution of authority. On this basis, it is definitely possible to examine the com- plaints and accusations in the pamphlet. For example, the charge that Zionist money should not be used to encourage anti- Zionist education in ultra- Orthodox institutions or the charge that shlichim (emissaries) be chosen according to the posi- tion, and sent to places where they will be best utilized. UNDERSTANDABLY, there is reason to whitewash the ques- tion of how much of Jewish cam- paign funds allocated to Israel should be rechanneled to the Diaspora in the form of shlichim. teachers, or institutions which non-Orthodox bodies seek to set up in Israel not as centers for their members who plan to make aliya, but as a substitute to aliya. and youth education centers with short-term programs aimed at in- culcating the youth with Jewish heritage before they return to America. This demand entails the implied threat that if the Conservative and Reform movements are not allocated the funds they demand, they will re-examine their commit- ment to the United Jewish Ap- peal. This style of debate is nothing new. It is consistent with the tone of the entire pamphlet, that the money contributed by Diaspora Jewry does not become the property of the Zionist Move- ment of the State of Israel, but re- mains "our" dollars. These threats are two-sided. Or- thodox contributors can also threaten to re-examine their com- mitment to the UJA if they feel they are financing what they see as "harmful" institutions. It is very simple to reach a division of financial contributions of Diaspora Jewry into a large number of campaigns, with each one allocating funds as it wishes. Whoever sees fit to discredit the political divisions in Israel and the political considerations which guide the Jewish Agency and the WZO. must consider whether changing the inter-political divi- sions for inter-stream divisions will actually be an improvement With all due respect and recognition of the rights of American Jewish contributors. I feel there are many things they have yet to learn. Public debate, its style, and argumentation are not least among them. And hundreds of reserve soldiers return from military service straight to demonstrations without even changing clothes. 7 At the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center . Jerusalem. Dr. Dan R.

IT IS TRUE that many aspects of our lives in Israel run along par ty lines the government, jobs, honors, and certainly, budget allocations. This system, un- doubtedly, leaves much to be desired. Yet. it is far better and far more democratic than other systems: that of American Jewry where leadership is determined according to financial means and not according to elections (which are never held) or the relative distribution of forces.
