The former President was on an unofficial visit to David Accord, refused to see Carter. (See story, Page 6-A). Carter's New Breams of Glory Says Assad, Hussein Prepared To Enter Into Peace Talks By GIL SEDAN JERUSALEM (JTA) - Former President Jimmy Carter arrived in Israel Thursday (March 26) saying he was convinced that the leaders of Syria and Jordan would join direct peace talks with Israel held within the framework of an interna- tional peace conference. Meeting with Vice Premier and foreign Minister Shimon Peres shortly after reaching Jerusalem ^ the Allenby Bridge from Jor- dan Carter said that President Hafez Assad of Syria understood that an international conference *as the next stage toward direct negotiations. HE SAID that King Hussein of >rdan wanted to advance the Peace process and held "flexible flews" hut was unable to move 'onvard in the absence of an inter- national forum. According to ^"er Assad regards Jordan as a leading force in the peace pro- ess- Carter said that in his own view, Syria, too, has an important role in the process. Carter's visit to Israel, his first since 1983, is the final leg of a tour that took him to Algeria, Egypt, Syria and Jordan. The former President stressed repeatedly here and in the Arab capitals that his visit was private and the views he expressed were his own. He made clear he is not representing the U.S. He made several statements in the course of his journey on the need to include the Palestine Liberation Organization in an in- ternational conference. CARTER'S ARRIVAL in Israel coincided with the eighth anniversary of the signing of the Israel-Egyptian peace treaty on March 26, 1979 at a White House ceremony. The signatories were then Israeli Premier Menachem Begin and the late President An- war Sadat of Egypt. Carter engineered the treaty. Carter asked for a meeting with Begin, who has been living in seclusion at his suburban Jerusalem home since he resigned from office in August 1983. Ac- cording to Begin's spokesman. Yechiel Kadishai, the 73-year-old former Premier said "that he can't see him, that's all. He didn't give any reason." Begin and Carter last met during Carter's 1983 visit. Carter told reporters Thursday that one of the lessons of Camp David, at which Egypt, Israel and the U.S. talked was that one Continued on Page 6-A 'Islamic Bomb' Poses Serious Threat To Israel's Existence, Sen. Glenn Says By JUDITH COLP WASHINGTON (JTA) Pakistan's interest in ob- taining nuclear weapons poses a threat to Israel's ex- istence, and Congress should consider halting military aid, Sen. John Glenn (D., Ohio) said Monday. Glenn, testifying before the Senate Foreign Affairs Subcom- mittee on Near East and South Asian Affairs, said there is strong evidence indicating that Pakistan is "manufacturing and testing Sen. John Glenn components for nuclear weaponry." He proposed eliminating military aid to Pakistan unless it can be certified that it has no nuclear materials. GLENN, noting that former Pakistan Zulfikar Ali Bhutic said he was building an "Islamic bomb," said the weapon is "the ultimate threat to Israel's ex- istence. Pakistan's nuclear weapons production will sooner or later result in a wider frontier of nuclear weapons technology to countries in the Middle East.

The Reagan Administration is seeking continuation of a $4.02 billion six-year package to Pakistan that was approved by Congress last year. Supporters of the assistance assert that refusal to grant aid would induce Pakistan to develop nuclear weapons. "Development of a close and reliable security partnership with Pakistan gives Pakistan an alter- native to nuclear weapons to meet its legitimate security needs and strengthens our influence on Pakistan's nuclear decision- making," said Richard Murphy, Assistant Secretary of State for Near East and South Asian Affairs. WITH THE Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Pakistan is also perceived as a critical bulwark against Soviet influence. "Pakistan today is directly threatened by the Soviet Union. Indeed were it not for Pakistan, by now Moscow would have suc- ceeded in its brutal efforts to drag bleeding Afghanistan into the Soviet Empire," said Sen. Gordon Humphrey (R.. N.H.).

By Mail S" J5 oer copy jected strenuously that they were not given time to study the writ- ten testimony on which the witness, Helga Gravitz, will be cross-examined. Gravitz, a Ham- burg district attorney since 1966, is active in researching and pro- secuting former Nazis and their collaborators. DEFENSE OBJECTIONS were overruled but the court agreed, over protests by the pro- secution, to cancel the afternoon session to allow O'Connor and Sheftel to scrutinize the material. Gravitz will be questioned about the identification card reportedly bearing Demjanjuk's photograph and physical details, issued at the Trawniki SS camp where guards were trained for their duties at the Treblinka and Sobibor death camps. The card was obtained from the Soviet Union and the defense con- tends it is a forgery. Gravitz, who has gathered documents in a number of countries, including the USSR, will testify as an expert. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear a defense ap- peal against the three-judge panel's refusal to disqualify itself. O'Connor had demanded that the judges step down because of alleg- ed bias against the defendant and his lawyers. The motion was denied, and the court refused to suspend the hearing while the ap- peal was pending. JUDGE DOV LEVIN, presi dent of the court, insisted the bench has acted "with more than usual forbearance" in hearing the case. But there is evident an- tipathy between the judges and defense counsel. O'Connor was sharply reprimanded last week for the manner in which he cross- examined Martin Roller, a Holocaust survivor who was employed by the U.S. occupation forces in Europe after World War II investigating Nazi war crimes. Roller, 67, was questioned about his testimony in the 1978 denaturalization trial in Florida of alleged war criminal Feodor Fedorenko who, like Demjanjuk, was identified as a guard at the Treblinka death camp. He describ- ed as "cold and almost hostile" the Florida court's attitude toward Treblinka survivors who testified about Fedorenko's activities. ASKED BY O'Connor if he felt the same way about his cross- examination here, Roller replied, "Heaven forbid." Judge Levin in- terjected, "That should put Mr. O'Connor in a better mood." Demjanjuk, who was held at the maximum security prison in Ramie until his trial began six weeks ago, is now confined to a cell in the Binyanei Haooma con- cert hall which is serving as a courtroom to accommodate the large numbers of spectators and the media. Red Army Chorus Demo WINNIPEG, Man. (JTA) - The performance here last month of the Red Army Chorus and Dance Ensemble was met by a demonstration by 25 or 30 Jewish students who claimed that Soviet soldiers do more than sing. "In Moscow, you would not believe what they do," said the pamphlet distributed by the students to about 1,500 people, ac- cording to demonstration organizer Carnie Rose. She was referring to repression of Soviet Jews. She told the Jewish Post here that the demonstration's purpose was to show the incon- sistency in Soviet policy."

Poland-Israel Ties Improve NEW YORK (JTA) Rela- tions between Poland and Israel are improving in all areas, accor- ding to Kalman Sultanik who was reelected president of the American Federation of Polish Jews last week. Addressing the Federation's an- nual conference here Sunday marking 1,000 years of Jewish life in Poland, Sultanik spoke of en- couraging signs that Israel and Poland are drawing closer after 20 years without diplomatic ties He stressed that the content of their relations, for example cultural exchanges, are more im- portant than their formality. Nevertheless, reporting in his recent meeting with Joseph Cyrek, chairman of the Polish Parliamentary Commission on Foreign Affairs, Sultanik said steps are being taken to restore diplomatic relations between the two countries. Cyrek told him that Poland is also very much interested in im- proving its relations with the Jewish community in the United States, Sultanik said.

The 40-member delegation of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organiza- tions also gained insight into Israel's relationship with South Africa and its efforts to have the U.S. government abolish refugee status for Jews leaving the Soviet Union, according to Conference chairman Morris Abram. "I think Americans will never be able to fully understand Israeli actions when they (Israelis) Peres Raps Unity Gov't. By GIL SEDAN JERUSALEM (JTA) - Foreign Minister Shimon Peres expressed sharp criticism of the Labor-Likud national unity government Wednesday and came down strongly on one side of an issue that could result in its dissolution. Addressing the leadership of the National Religious Party, Peres spoke forcefully against Jewish settlements in the administered territories. There was no need for towns like Emmanuel and Ariel in the West Bank, he said, which serve as no more than bedroom communities. He also charged that the unity government had no real political or social program, implying that he saw no justification for it to I continue. While he spoke, Likud's Deputy Premier and Housing Minister David Levy was dedicating the new West Bank settlement of Betar, just south of Jerusalem. He did so in face of a protest demonstration by the Peace Now I movement and a delegation from I the development town of Sderot I in the Negev. perceive their security interests are at stake," Abram told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. HE REFERRED specifically to a matter which soured U.S. at- titudes toward Israel and aroused serious concern among American Jews the advancement of the careers of Air Force Col. Aviem Sella and former Mossad operative Rafael Eitan, the Israeli officials who, according to Pollard's trial testimony, recruited him and ran his spy operation in the U.S. "People who live in constant fear of utter destruction and death look on a Col. Sella as a na- tional asset and a hero of which there are not enough in a dangerous world, so there is sym- pathy for Sella and I have that sympathy too. I know what Sella is and what he represents," Abram said. He maintained that Sella was in fact "punished" by not being pro- moted to the rank of Brig. Gen., even though he was given com- mand of Israel's second largest air base. THE AMERICAN Jewish leaders had long, frank discus- sions with Premier Yitzhak Shamir, Vice Premier and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin and other top political and military figures. They were told repeatedly that the Pollard spy case was a "rogue operation" conducted without the knowledge or authorization of the highest levels of government. Abram said he believed this and was confident the other members of the delegation left Israel also believing it. But at least one member still has doubts. Barrett Zumhoff, president of the Workmen's Cir- cle, said "Shamir, Peres, Rabin and all said it was a rogue opera- tion. It sounded convincing but I don't believe it." "Part of espionage is that the head of state has to have deniabili- ty," Zumhoff observed. "Regardless of this, the Pollard affair was only compounded by a number of errors made by the Israeli government in the wake of the crisis, the worst of which were the promotions of Sella and Eitan." Those actions were "ex- ceptionally stupid," he added. Eitan, who ran LEKEM, Pollard's spy unit, was given the chairmanship of Israel Chemicals, 1 Passover Seders m GUTT D KOSHER AT THE Deauville ON THE OCEAN AT 67th STREET MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA CONDUCTED BY CANTOR ASHER SCHARF 1st SEDER-APRIL 13 2nd SEDER-APRIL 14 $40 $75* per person, per Seder including tax & gratuities both SEDERS RESERVATONS AVAILABLE FOR 1ST SEDER, 2ND SEDER or BOTH SEDERS call 531-3446 government-owned the largest corporation. ZUMHOFF WAS also critical of the public stand taken by the Presidents Conference delega- tion. "I didn't agree that we should have made so much noise about it. I felt we had overdone it," he said. "Criticism of the Israel government would have been more beneficial if conveyed privately, not in the media." Israel Friedman, executive vice president of the Religious Zionists of America/Hapoel Hamizrachi, echoed those sentiments. "The whole thing was blown out of pro- portion," he said. But Abram called the meeting of Jewish leaders with Israel's top leadership last week a "watershed." "This has been a historic meeting because I have never in my life seen in such stark forms, issues boil to the surface not just abstract issues like 'Who is a Jew?', but in terms of how the relationship of Jews in the diaspora to Israel affects the State of Israel," Abram said. SPEAKING OF the Pollard af- fair in general, Abram said the Presidents Conference never in- tended to dictate to the Israeli government how to conduct its in- ternal affairs. But, Abram said, "We had every responsibility, and discharged it, to tell the State leaders of Israel how their actions were being perceived in the U.S." The deeper understanding of Israeli positions also extended to the controversy over Israel's military ties with South Africa, according to Abram. "We understood some who said Israel had to very cautious about the use of the boycott the word em- bargo doesn't strike responsive chords in a country which is almost embargoed out of the United Nations," Abram said. Days after the Presidents Con- ference delegation arrived, the Israeli government decided to im- pose limited sanctions on South Africa. Abram explained that Israel has done more to hurt itself in this action than any other state. "Israel needs an arms industry because it has so few arms sup- pliers and an arms industry needs exports. No state similarly beset and beleaguered, so insecure, at war with all its neighbors has taken an action so contrary to its military interesrt on behalf of its moral principles," Abram said. J.M.

Inc Members FDICand Federal Reserve System Page 4-A The Jewish Floridian/Friday, April 3, 1987 It's About Time U.S. Jews Are Mollified The Conference of Presidents of Jewish Organizations in America went off to Jerusalem real steamed, specifically about Israel's handling of the Jonathan Pollard spy case. Now, the Conference is back home. President of the organization, the distinguished Morris Abram, says he and other leaders have returned considerably mollified. Finally, according to Abram, they understand Israel's point of view. It's about time. For example, the resignation of Aviem Sella on Sunday as commander of the Tel Nof Air Base is not a statement of Sella's complicity in a secret spying operation against the United States conducted by es- pionage agent Jonathan Pollard. More in conformity with what appears to be increas- ingly clear, it is Israel's sop to that master- mind of U.S. strategy, Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger's demand for an Israeli beheading. Weinberger's Own Agenda Weinberger, apparently, has his own secret agenda. Talk about being steamed, that is how Weinberger says he felt when he "discovered" that some information Pollard uncovered and passed on to the Israelis was in turn rerouted by the Israelis to South Africa. It was on the basis of this still- uncorroborated information that Weinberger let the American media, always delighted to engage in a round of Israel bashing, know that "irreparable" harm was done by Pollard's allegedly wide-ranging es- pionage resulting in "extremely sensitive" information winding up in the hands of the Pretoria government. That information: the names of either one or several agents spying for the United States in South Africa. Revelations about this kind of roundrobin spying game are not needed to corroborate Israel's own minor key bleating in response to the big guns of Secretary Weinberger's fusillade aimed at Jerusalem that the United States has also been doing espionage of its own in Israel. What the Israelis may have told their visiting American delegation of U.S. Jewish leaders is that all the Reagan Administra- tion palaver about U.S. ties to Israel are just that palaver when it comes to a genuine sharing of intelligence information with the Israelis. Israel Gets Little Back Already, many news sources in the American media, including magazines like Newsweek and Insight, have emphasized that in the matter of espionage and counter- espionage, the United States has been get- ting more, much more than it gives so far as Israel is concerned. In short, while Israel's very survival depends upon accurate intelligence informa- tion about its enemy neighbors, the United States, its best friend, or so its PR agents would have us believe, has been holding out on the Israelis. The fact is that the U.S. agenda, as the Reaganites see it in the Middle East, is to achieve peace there by rolling back Israel's borders. It does not choose to enlighten Israel as to ways of frustrating that agenda. Let that not be forgotten. Two wrongs do not make a right, not even in matters of spying. But the Aviem Sella resignation Sunday is yet another American-engineered wrong, and so it ill- behoves the Reaganites to take such a high- handed approach against Israel in the Jonathan Pollard case. Surprising Words Soviet Jews. A case in point: cancellation of the Jackson-Vanik Amendment which links Jewish emigration to Most Favored Nation trade status for Moscow providing 50,000 Jews are allowed to leave per year. Does Sharansky forget the nature of the Kremlin's policy as the engineer of an op- pressive society that takes every opportuni- ty to advance its international expansionist cause? Certainly, he knew it far more viscerally when he walked across the bridge between East and West Berlin to freedom early in 1986. We are surrounded by neophytes and naive innocents who believe that every miniscule human gesture emanating from Moscow is a major sign of Soviet change in the cause of the new Gorbachev policy called glasnost. For Sharansky to become one of them is disappointing indeed. What the Soviets need are not rewards. What they need is unyielding Western response to their oppressive tactics. No less a skilled diplomat than former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has warned us that glasnost is a Soviet necessity whose object is to elicit precisely the kind of recommenda- tions that Sharansky has made so that the Soviets may turn their attention for a while to solving some of their longstanding domestic problems. Rapprochement with the West is not its major purpose. Indeed, Kissinger warns, glasnost relies on Western cupidity the kind of cupidity that fails to separate the Soviet Union's desire to direct some of its attention to its Ghetto Athletics domestic agonies from the Western world's desire to see the Soviet Union emerging as a nation of human beings rather than of never-ending aggressive expansionist policy. In this sense, we must not gear our own foreign policy to the Soviet Union's at- home priorities. If Sharansky joins these victims of cupidi- ty, what hope is there for the rest of us? He suffered Soviet oppression first-hand. His desire for international change should not now feed on pipe dreams made in the Kremlin for Western consumption. Once, There Were Many Jewish Champions By JIM SHIPLEY It has always been the tradition in America that one way up from the ghetto is athletics. Teach your kid how to box, how to play foot- ball or shoot baskets, and he'll get an education and go on to finer things. For generations, the fight game was the fastest route out. So, we saw legions of Irish fighters, Italian fighters, black fighters, Puerto Rican fighters and yes, Jewish fighters, all of whom pun- ched their way into the spotlight and then, for the most part, had their lights punched out. WHEN THE great potato famine hit Ireland, they came to America, a million strong. They went to work on the docks, in the cops and in the ring. They were fighters from a national tradition of fighters. They produced legions of club fighters and also cham- pions, like John L. Sullivan. The Italians came from an im- poverished land to find the richness of America. They worked the railroads, they climbed down into the mines and up into the ring. Jake LaMotta, Willie Pep, Melio Bettina, Rocky Marciano, even that hoax of a huge heavyweight, Primo Camera, con- tinued the tradition of Italian champions. A way out of the mines, off the railroad gangs, into the spotlight. For the blacks, it was an obvious route. In many cases, it was the only way out. Exploited, hated by the fans who came to see the black dude take a whipping, constantly fighting against the "white hope" that would knock him off, the black fighter has been in the ring since they let him fight for money. THE MOST famous of the black fighters? Well, I guess it depends on your age. Mohammed AH or Larry Holmes for this generation. I guess Mike Tyson for the next. For mine, it was Joe Louis. And Henry Armstrong, who once won a championship while legally blind; Sugar Ray Robinson, not Leonard; Ike Williams, Jersey Joe Walcott do I stir some memories? But let's not forget that, for a period of time, the Jewish fighter also used the ring to achieve a slice of notoriety and a bit of the American dream. Out of the nee- dle trades and diamond merchants and teachers and hack drivers who came to these shores there were tough street kids who found a new, strange way to make some Continued on Page 14-A Our Readers Write: Chassidic Jews Make Little of Dress Codes EDITOR, The Jeunsh Floridian: With regard to the letter by Ar- thur Greenfield, I would like to say that I was shocked. Being Chassidic Jews, we have an age-old traditional "dress code" for the Sabbath and even though we are accused of being set in our ways, any Jew, no mat- ter what he wears, as long as he is "decent," is welcomed in our synagogue. I will never forget Dr. Velvel Green, noted NASA scientist, who told us that although he drove up to a Chassidic synagogue Fri- day night and came in carrying suitcases, no one ridiculed him or threw him out. Rather they took him in and taught him better. Green went on to become a Baal Teshuva and a source of great pride to the Jewish people. Prayer is a service of the heart and is not expressed through one's external appearance as we learn from the encounter of the prophetess Channah and the High Priest Eli. I find it strange that the Conser- vative and Reform can be so rigid when it comes to manmade rules and yet so permissive with regards to Torah laws. We need each and every Jew, and it is only through ahovas Yisroel that we can bring them back to Judaism.

He was one of those instrumental in setting up Hashomer Hatzair, the Zionist youth movement, established the Kibbutz Art- zi movement, and for many years led the left-wing Mapam Party. He was a lifelong member of Kibbutz Merhavia and served in the Knesset from 1949 to 1973. Many young Israelis had never heard of Ya'ari, or knew him as a frail, old man who suffered from blindness in his later years. Yet veteran Zionists recall the spirited young radical, who tirelessly travelled the length and breadth of Europe delivering fiery speeches that persuaded thousands to emigrate to the Jewish State. IN LATER years, though plagued by physical infirmity, his incisive mind remained razor sharp. "Many assumed that he had retired when he left the Knesset in 1973," said Mapam Knesset Member Eliezer Granot. "But he remained active until the days before his death, both as a kibbutz member and in the Mapam central committee. He fought tenaciously to retain the historic alliance with the Labor party in 1983. and he advocated the break up of that alliance after the formation of the National Uni- ty government in 1984." Ya'ari was born in Kanczuga in Galicia, Poland in 1897. He came from a family of eminent Hasidic rabbis, and although he totally re- jected orthodoxy, he injected quasi religious fervor and an apocalyptic passion into the Zionist and Socialist philosophy that he adopted. DURING THE First World War. he volunteered for the Austrian army and became a fir3t lieutenant. After the war, he studied at the University of Vien- na, where Sigmund Freud was one of his teachers. In the wake of the Russian Historic photo of Golda Meir and Meir Ya'ari, who died last month. fighting in the Russian revolution. Borochov was so disgusted by the inherent anti-Semitism of the Russian and other European na- tions that he predicted the an- nihilation of the Jewish people before a world Marxist order could evolve and therefore urged the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Ya'ari enrolled in Vienna's Agricultural Institute, intending to settle on the land in Palestine. At the same time, he set up the Viennese branch of the Hashomer Hatzair movement. In 1920, he ar- rived in Palestine and for many years led teams of building and agricultural laborers. In 1927, he moved to Kibbutz Merhavia in the Jezreel valley. YA'ARI WAS an austere man who believed in hard work and communal responsibility. A con- vinced socialist and Marxist, he was, nevertheless, never dogmatic and was always prepared to revise his views and admit mistaken perceptions. For many decades, he was an enthusiastic supporter of the Soviet Union but after Stalin's blatant anti-Semitism in the early 1950's, he severed his allegiance to Russia. He opposed the parti- tion of Palestine, believing that Jew and Arab could live together in a bi-national state, yet he was always a loyal patriot and in the aftermath of the Six-Day War, he led Mapam into a coalition with the Mapai (Labor) Party. Ya'ari had always hoped that Mapam, a party more zealously faithful to socialist doctrine, would prove to be a viable alter- native to Mapai. This made him both a friend and foe of Ben- Gurion. "There was always a com- mon bond between us," Ya'ari once said of Ben-Gurion. "A bond of love for the historic task of the building of our homeland and for the Labor movement." THOUGH YA'ARI revised his beliefs, he never altered their essence. In his final years he felt a bitter disappointment with what he saw as negative trends in Israeli society a tendency towards greater materialism and capitalism, and the spread of chauvinism and accompanying negative attitudes towards Arabs. As his veteran colleague in Mapam. Ya'akov Hazan, revealed, Ya'ari was not the type to feel complacent about anything. "I have never known a man who was Continued on Page 12-A Recently Unearthed Deficiencies Place Into Question Israel's Intelligence Community revolution, he became a devout n chmiivt avrvv Marxist. But he was deeply in- By SHMUEL SEGEV fluenced by the Zionist-Marxist INS The recently- thinker, Ber Borochov, who died unearthed deficiencies in 'dirty operations' committee like Lenry Kissinger's needs establishing. the functioning of the entire Israeli intelligence com- munity have, and rightly so, given rise to questions about the way intelligence bodies are operating and the ex- tent of the (political) leader- ship's supervision of the operational echelon. Questions were raised not only in regard to methods of action, but mainly concerning the fiascos. In at least two cases the supply- ing of weapons to Iran and the Pollard affair the Mossad was not involved in running the opera- tion. Yet when the political echelon decided to cooperate with the U.S. and supply Iran with small quantities of weapons and military equipment, Mossad leaders refrained from throwing their full weight so as to induce their superiors to change their mind. Their behavior thus resembled that of the American Secretary of State George Shutlz and Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, as described in the Tower Commis- sion report, which charged that while Weinberger and Shultz had expressed their opposition to President Reagan, "by not stan- ding their ground, they failed to serve the president properly." THE TOWER report clearly implies that the CIA was involved in all the planning and execution stages of the arms to Iran deal. The CIA had its doubts concern- ing Ghorbanifar, yet when the U.S. President decided on the operation, the CIA was full part- ner throughout all stages. The Mossad, on the other hand, did not insist on filling its role, as obligated by definition of its pur- pose, thereby consciously leaving itself in a position inferior to its American counterpart. The same applies to the Pollard affair. Ever since its establish- ment, in the late fifties, th* science liaison unit took care to adhere to its defined role and did not engage in espionage. The Pollard affair is thus indeed an ex- ception, yet the very fact it could have taken place behind the Mossad's back is worrisome. The two affairs are currently under investigation by various commissions. The arms to Iran deal is being examined by Maj. Gen. (res.) Raphael Vardi, and the Pollard affair by the Rotenstreich- Tsur commission. The probity and professional reliability of these three men are beyond doubt, yet the two commissions have not been authorized to draw conclu- sions regarding the Israeli in- telligence community's method of operation. IF THE government means to follow in the Americans' footsteps and set up a special commission such as the Tower Commission ap- pointed by President Reagan to look into the National Security Council's functioning, it would be desirable. Yet there is room to doubt the wisdom of appointing the two Israeli commissions of in- vestigation if their terms of reference have been deliberately limited to prevent an expansion of their investigation. When Henry Kissinger served as President Nixon's national security adviser, he headed the "40-member committee," whose role was to approve all "dirty operations" that is, operations that were especially sensitive politically. The committee was comprised of representatives of all intelligence bodies, and its recommendations were presented to the President by Kissinger himself. We do not know whether this committee still exists, yet there is no reason why a similar, though smaller, committee should not be established near the prime minister's office, and through a Continued on Page 14-A This report by Shmuel Segev first appeared in Maariv in that newspaper's March 18 edition.

Page 6-A The Jewish Floridian/Friday, April 3, 1987 Carter Says Assad, Hussein Prepared To Talk With Israel Continued from Page 1-A should not stick to any single specific formula in pursuing peace and that it is time to advance to a new stage. He said that would seem to be an international conference. HE SAID his visit to Israel was to raise questions and float ideas for Israeli leaders, as a private citizen. He added that he had never succeeded in convincing Israelis "or anyone else" to do what they did not want to do. Asked why the peace process had not advanced after Camp David, Carter said "Perhaps there is more I could have done, but I don't think that in the last six years (the tenure of the Reagan Administration) it has been as high a priority as it has been with me, when it was almost an obsession." Carter expressed hope never- theless that the last two years of the Reagan Administration would see the Middle East peace process become a greater priority. The Reagan Administration sharply criticized Carter for a remark before the American Chamber of Commerce in Cairo last week that there was "missing leadership" in Washington. "President Reagan has not been inclined to use negotiation and diplomacy as a means to achieve our nation's goals as have his Democratic and Republican predecessors. He's more inclined to exert America's military strength, either the actual use of it or the threat of it," Carter said. THOSE REMARKS brought an angry response from White House spokesman Marlin Fitz- water last Friday. He said the Ad- ministration was "deeply disap- pointed" that Carter would make such a statement on the "very delicate" Mideast peace process while in a foreign country. "It is not right to say we have not been pursuing the peace process in the Middle East," Fitzwater said. State Department spokesman Charles Redman declared that "This Administration has remain- ed actively involved in the peace process and is deeply committed to it." Carter met with Assad in Damascus for three-and-a-half hours Sunday, according to Syria's official news agency, Sana, discussing "issues relating to the international situation, the Middle East and Lebanon." CARTER ARRIVED in Jordan earlier Tuesday (March 24) asser- ting that" As long as the parties stay flexible and listen to contrary views, the hope for a (interna- tional) conference is kept alive." He met with King Hussein and Crown Prince Hassan. Also, while in Amman, Carter called for the release of prisoners in Israel and hostages in Lebanon. "AH those being held on both sides, unless being guilty of some crime, should be released," he said. In Jerusalem Thursday, Carter said he had no word on any possi- ble progress on the hostage issue in Lebanon. He expressed hope that with the deployment of Syrian armed forces in west Beirut, progress would be made toward the release of hostages. Peres Answers Arabs' Queries On Wireless Telephone Hook-Up By HUGH ORGEL TEL AVIV (JTA) - Utilizing an international wireless telephone hook-up via West Germany, Foreign Minister Shimon Peres answered questions from callers in the Arab world for a half-hour Thursday (Mar. 26). Most of the questions related to Middle East peace. The telephone exchange was ar- ranged by the Arabic service of the state-owned Israel Radio in cooperation with a radio station in Bonn. Except for callers from Egypt, who used the newly install- ed direct-dialing, questions and answers were relayed through Bonn. Peres heard simultaneous translations and r-.-p'-ed in English, which was translated in- to Arabic. CALLS FROM Syria, during a practice run Wednesday, were cut off abruptly, and there were no Syrian calls Thursday. But there were calls from Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and the West Bank. Peres was asked about an international conference for Middle East peace, the peace process with Egypt and the situation between Israel and Syria since Syrian armed forces occupied West Beirut earlier this month. The Foreign Minister stressed that Israel wants peace, but apart from Egypt has found no Arab partners. He said Israel was ready to par- ticipate in preparations for an in- ternational conference or in talks with a joint Jordanian-Palestinian delegation, but not with the Palestine Liberation Organiza- tion, which he said "preferred shooting to talking." EARLIER, Peres met with three Palestinian leaders. Hanna Seniora, editor of the East Jerusalem Arabic daily Al Fajr; Fayez Abu Rahman, a West Bank attorney; and Dr. Saeri Nusseibeh. He said his purpose was to hear their opinions on Israel- Palestinian relations and acquaint them with Israel's policies. SOME PEOPLE LIVE THEIR ENTIRE LIVES WITHOUT TASTING WATER.

Deschenes Report Spotlights Nazi Safe Haven By BEN KAYFETZ TORONTO (JTA) Evidence of Canadian participation in ef- forts to provide safe haven for certain Nazis right after World War II is contained in an un- published section of the Deschenes Commission's report on Nazi war criminals in Canada, presented to the House of Com- mons last week. According to MP Robert Kaplan, a former Solicitor General, "it's essential that it be brought out so that Canadians will know the whole story of war crimes." KAPLAN was referring to a study done for the Deschenes Commission by researcher Ati Rodel which could be embarrass- ing for Ottawa on several counts. It outlines Canada's willing par- ticipation in a British-U.S. plan to settle German scientists, many of them active Nazis, in Canada, the U.S. and Britain to keep them out of Soviet hands. Rodel is said to have found evidence, though not conclusive, that British and American in- telligence may have spirited known Nazi collaborators out of Eastern Europe into Canada, without the government's knowledge, in order to establish anti-Soviet spy networks. Rodel's study includes a review of anti-Semitic, fascist, political organizations active before and during the war, such as the Iron Guard in Rumania. You've \ t Got What It Takes...

Aviem Sella, the Israeli Air Force officer promoted to the post of commander of the Tel Nof Air Base after his alleged role in serving as "handler" of convicted U.S. spy Jonathan Pollard, has resigned his post. Sella was earlier indicted by the I'nited States on charges that he recruited Pollard, but Israel has no intention of forcing him to go the U.S. to stand trial. In a letter of resignation Sun- day, Sella said that "The deterioration in Israel-U.S. rela- tions and my concern for the future of ties between the two na- tions and for relations with American Jewry have induced me to ask you to release me from my duties as commander of the Tel Nof Base." IN HIS 28-line letter, Sella hinted that he played only a "minor role" in the Pollard case. He ended by noting that "Had facts been the only consideration, I would not have resigned." Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin, in an Israel Defense Forces statement, declared that Sella's decision had been accepted by Chief of Staff Gen. Moshe Levy. It appears here that Sella's resignation was spurred by a report in the London Sunday Times that Israel had passed on Pollard's espionage secrets to South Africa, which in turn used them to track down at least one and perhaps several American spies in Pretoria. THE ORIGINAL allegation was a part of U.S. Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger's secret affidavit to a Washington court that tried both Pollard and his wife, Anne Henderson Pollard. The Times of London report speculates that this passing on of the information may explain the life sentence to Pollard, a former Navy intelligence analyst, and five-year sentence to his wife. It was the American reaction of anger to the appointment of Sella as commander of Tel Nof last Feb. 27, which the Reagan Administra- tion in fact saw as a promotion, that led to a storm of criticism aimed at Israel's role in the Pollard case. According to the Administra- tion, Israeli officials insisted repeatedly that they would cooperate fully in an investigation into the Pollard affair, but these officials allegedly kept secret the details of Sella's involvement, as well as the involvement or four others in the case: Rafael Eitan, a counterter- rorism expert who headed LEKEM, the now-disbanded secret scientific intelligence agen- cy that is alleged to have "run" Pollard; Yosef Yagur, former science counselor at the Israeli Consulate in New York; Irit Erb, Former Greek President Slated To Head B-G Centennial Body ATHENS (JTA) A former President of Greece, Konstantine Tsatsos, heads the Ben-Gurion Centennial Committee formed here to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Israel's first Prime Minister, David Ben- Gurion. TSATSOS IS ALSO well-known as an author and the committee he heads includes distinguished figures in Greek politics, culture and academia Angelos Vlachos, a former Ambassador and professor of political science, will be keynote speaker at the major centennial event to be held at the City Hall on April 8. The best known member of the committee perhaps is the Greek Minister of Culture, Melina Mercouri, an interna- tionally famous actress. William Nakash (center) arrives at Jerusalem's High Court of Justice to hear the court's decision on whether or not he is to be extradited to France, where he has been con- victed of murder. In its response to the peti- tion filed by Knesset members from the Citizens Rights Movement and Mapam, and JTA/WZN News Photo from 11 Hebrew University professors, the court decided to send the case back to Justice Minister Avraham Sharir, for reconsidera- tion. Sharir had made the original decision not to extradite Nakash. a former secretary to the science counselor at the Israeli Embassy in Washington; and Ilan Ravid, a science expert. EITAN NOW heads Israeli Chemicals, while Yagur, Ravid and Erb still work for the govern- ment. Meanwhile, Israel continues to insist that the Pollard affair was a "rogue operation" led by Eitan and unauthorized by the country's top leaders. Sella, an ace fighter pilot who was to have become Israel's chief of the Air Force, met Pollard when he was enrolled at New York University in 1984. Israeli officials declare that it was Pollard who volunteered his ser- vices to Sella, who passed Pollard on to Eitan. Sella, they say, was in New York on a legitimate study visit. Reports this week indicate that Sella's resignation had been called for by several senior Air Force of- ficers "for the good of the ser- vice." But in his letter of resigna- tion Sunday, Sella declared: "My present request is the result of a personal and independently made decision stemming from my education as a fighter and com- mander in the Air Force . "I HAD made it clear ... a long time ago, that whatever role 1 am assigned must not constitute a burden or obstacle to the Air Force or the IDF. I reiterated my stance to the Defense Minister (Shimon Peres) as well and I noted that should my appointment constitute an obstacle of any kind, I would put the country's interest above my own and resign my post." MIAMI BEACH'S GLATT KOSHER He added: "I had long desired the post I was assigned only weeks ago a post which is the dream of any commander in the Air Force.

For Jewish emigration of 10,000 a year, Moscow would be rewarded with a broadening of scientific and cultural ties. If 50,000 Jews are allowed to leave a year, the U.S. should cancel the Jackson-Vanik amend- ment which links Jewish emigra- tion to Most Favored Nation trade status for the USSR, Sharansky told some 1,500 North American immigrants at a meeting Sunday U.S. Youth Agents in IDF? By GIL SEDAN JERUSALEM (JTA) An American magazine report that the U.S. intelligence community occasionally planted agents among American Jewish youth do- ing non-military volunteer work for the Israel Defense Force over the last 10 years was flatly denied here Thursday by (March 26) ''authoritative security elements." The report, in The New Republic, noted that thousands of Jewish youth have done clean-up and maintenance work for one- month periods at IDF camps in a program called "Volunteer Israel" which began after the Yom Kippur War. The magazine cited two well- placed sources in the American in- telligence community who said the volunteers could have picked up pieces of information about Israel's military while performing menial chores. The report followed by less than a week the assertion by Sen. David Durenberger (R., Minn.), former chairman of Senate In- telligence Committee, that in 1982 the CIA planted spies in the IDF. Israeli leaders and U.S. Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger have denied the allegation. organized by the Association of American and Canadian Im- migrants to Israel and the Soviet Jewry Education and Information Center. THE EVENT, billed as "an evening with Natan Sharansky," "coincided with the 10th anniver- sary of his arrest in Moscow, allegedly for spying for the United States. Sharansky, who came to Israel in February 1986 after nine years in the Soviet Gulag, said he thought it would be "dangerous precedent" for Israel to ask the United States to abolish special refugee status for Jews leaving the Soviet Union. "I have no doubt that the best place for a Jew to live is in Israel, but I don't want anyone brought here against his will," Sharansky said. In this he is at odds with Premier Yitzhak Shamir and other Israeli leaders who have been urging the U.S. to abolish refugee status in order to make it more difficult for Soviet Jewish emigres to go to the U.S. instead of to Israel. Sharansky also believes that direct flights from Moscow to Tel Aviv "are not an issue" or an answer to this problem. He said the Soviets have built it up as a bargaining device to extract con- cessions. It is an example of how Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev "fixes his own price," Sharansky said. HE ALSO thought the new Soviet emigration regulations that took effect Jan. 1 pose the most serious problem for Soviet Jews since they were forced in 1972 to pay for the free education they received in the USSR before leaving. The new regulations restrict family reunification to on- ly the closest kin parents or siblings. The new law automatically reduced the number of potential emigrants to a mere 30,000, Sharansky said. He criticized the Israel government for "taking several months" before it lodged a protest. Sharansky said there was not necessarily a "direct linkage" bet- ween the possible resumption of diplomatic relations between Israel and the Soviet Union and relief for Soviet Jews. Renewed relations should be based on the understanding that "the problem of Soviet Jewry is Israel's pro- blem," he said. 1545 COLLINS AVE.

By LAWRENCE HARMON WESTWOOD, Mass. r LjTA) The only suspect in arson fire that gutted iple Beth David, the town's sole synagogue, urned himself in to police week. Christopher Odessa, 22, the subject of a nationwide search, is being held on $20,000 cash bail, ifo trial date has been set. Badessa has pleaded innocent to tharges of destruction of a place \{ worship, arson of a building, breaking and entering and arceny. The District Attorney's would not speculate on a notive. HOWEVER, Leonard Zakim, Executive director of the New England Region of the Anti- Defamation League of B'nai B'rith. had said that Westwood Police were premature in ruling hit anti-Semitism shortly after he blaze. Badessa is a former landscape irorker, auto mechanic and iboy who was arrested in 1984 motor vehicle violations and ossession of marijuana. He efaulted on the bail. On March 7, the blaze destroyed synagogue, including three Jv>rah scrolls, one of which surviv- the Holocaust and was on per- nanent loan to the Temple. Footprints in the snow led from he synagogue to Badessa's home, nd police found his fingerprints i a video cassette recorder stolen rom the Temple.

The threats were not carried out. Margery Eramo, president of the Westwood Interfaith Council, said her town is experiencing "disbelief, shock and a sense of personal loss" in the wake of the two-alarm blaze. Town Selectperson Shirley Howard pledged the town's com- mitment to help the Temple's ef- fort to rebuild, estimated to cost more than $500,000. At the end of the hour-long meeting, billed as an effort "to show our love and sup- port of the Congregation of Tem- ple Beth David," ushers passed collection baskets for the rebuilding fund. RABBI HENRY ZOOB thank ed his fellow clergy and citizens in an emotional appeal for unity and understanding. He also stressed the nature of the crime. "We can- not forget it was specifically a Jewish house of worship that was destroyed," he stated. "We have no clear proof that it was an anti- Semitic act. but we can assume that this may have been motivated by the hatred of Jews." Before the town meeting, Jewish Defense League spokesman Michael Slomich said his group would patrol the Temple environs. But Zoob chided him. "They think we need protection, but nothing could be further from the truth," the rabbi told the au- dience. "We are at home here among friends." He said the arson was the first "overt act against the temple" during his 17-year tenure. A safe home for your money and a cash bonus tor your pocket.

Zunshine, who served three years in a Siberian prison camp on charges of 'spreading anti-Soviet propaganda,' was released on March 6. From Soviet Union Rise in Jewish Emigration Heartens Jewish Organizations NEW YORK (JTA) Two national Jewish organizations said Wednesday (March 25) they were heartened by reports from Moscow that 400 Jews will have been allowed to leave the Soviet Union by the end of March, but stressed their reservations over whether this "welcome step" signified a meaningful change of policy or a gesture aimed at im- proving the Soviet image. Alan Pesky, chairman of the Coalition to Free Soviet Jews, noted that since prominent refusenik Natan Sharansky was freed from prison and allowed to leave for Israel in February, 1986, there have been a number of "heartening developments," such as the release from prison of Iosif Begun and the exit permission granted long-time refusenik David Goldfarb. NEVERTHELESS, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev "has been able to reap a public relations windfall while actually giving very little in return," Pesky said. Ruth Popkin, national president of Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America, also hailed the granting of exit visas to 400 Soviet Jews this month. "We sincerely hope that this ac- tion reflects a significant change in the Soviet Union's long- standing policy of repression of its Jewish citizens and is more than an illusory and politically motivated ploy to improve its rela- tions with the United States in the pursuit of its own ends," Popkin said. "Time, and the release of ad- ditional Soviet Jews, will tell," she added. Pesky noted that while only three Jews remain political prisoners in the USSR, "They are there on trumped-up charges, as were all Jewish prisoners held captive solel.', because of their desire to emigrate to Israel." HE SAID "cKe Soviet emigra- tion policy has the effect of deny- ing the right to emigrate to some 400,000 Jews" who have asked to leave for reasons other than fami- ly reunification, "including repatriation to Israel." Therefore, "mere numbers are not enough. There must be normalization of the Soviets' emigration procedures." Popkin congratulated the new emigrants who will be reunited with family and friends in time for the Passover holidays next month. "We look forward to the time when all Soviet Jews will celebrate Passover in freedom," she said. m By ELLEN ANN STEIN Jewish Floridian Staff" Writer It didn't take long for Rabbi N.M. Bernhard to ex- perience the reality of apar- theid in South Africa, after he moved there to lead an affluent and influential congregation. There was a law which said a black servant could sleep over at the home he or she was working in, but only if they slept in ser- vant's quarters. And, of course, the spouse was not allowed to stay over too. "Very soon after I arrived in South Africa, about one, two o'clock in the morning, I was stu- dying, and all of a sudden I heard whistles blowing and dogs barking and shouts and a bang on the door," Bernhard recalled during a recent visit to the United States. "IT WAS the police raid, look- ing for unauthorized bantus, as they call the blacks. Of course, I had to let them in." They scoured his house and then moved to the back where the servants' quarters were, and "behold, they turn up this terrified, 18 or 19-year-old bantu female. She was the wife of our manservant gardener, and she came down to be with him for awhile. And I knew she was there. And I was, like most people, con- tent to let her be there. "So I was then faced with a choice. Either I sign an admission of guilt admitting she was there with my permission, and I'm an infractor of the law, or I let them take her away, arresting her. "I damn well wasn't about to let them take her away. On the other hand, it was Shabbas, and I wasn't about to sign." BERNHARD FINALLY con vinced one of the police to sign the paper for him and went to court, where he was fined the equivalent of about $5.50. There are some 118,000 to 120,000 Jews living in South Africa today, and those Jews who are observant have a special role to carry out in the midst of the apartheid regime, according to the rabbi. "Judaism definitely has a very powerful social gospel," he told the Jewish Floridian during a visit to Miami last week."

BERNHARD ments binding upon the Gentiles that are in effect a program of human decency in the name of one God. And we're supposed to be en- couraging the non-Jewish world to adopt that." THUS BERNHARD has become one of three rabbis among some 70 in South Africa who have become outspoken against apar- theid. Another of those outspoken rabbis. Rabbi Ben Isaacson of Johannesburg, recently made fa statements in the American press saying many Jews in South Africa are "sick" because they have not been active in the fight against apartheid. This leads to the questions: How can a Jew be racist with his own experience? How can a Jew in- volved with the black struggle be called a "traitor" by other Jews! "Rubbish," Bernhard declares.

An Orthodox rabbi, Bernhard id served as spiritual leader of a ngregation in Wichita, Kans., fore going to South Africa. orn in the United States, he imed his rabbinic degree here. Bernhard went to South Africa 2 years ago to lead the ._0-member Oxford Synagogue ;nter in Johannesburg. The first ing he did was become ac- lainted with the nature of artheid. "APARTHEID is not so much i active oppression as it is a mat- r of withholding of rights and portunities. This, of course, suits in all kinds of oppression i the level of the victims in the nse that they are as a result lable to fulfill themselves, lere's a lot of lost opportunity d they (black victims) feel stifl- and frustrated. "On the level of not being able earn adequately, there are verty and deprivation.

It's not active oppression in the sense of concentration camps or beating people in the streets or shooting people." But apartheid is an "absolutely outrageous and pernicious system nevertheless something that no 'right-thinking' individual could tolerate," Bernhard said. AS A RABBI of one of the ma- jor synagogues in the country, Bernhard notes that the audience he speaks to is "both sophisticated and important." And he uses his pulpit to speak out against apar- theid and urges his congregation and the community to take action. To that end, his congregation established OSSAC, the Oxford Synagogue Social Action Commit- tee. The operation includes a full- time black community worker, and classes are held in which thousands of blacks have received everything from literacy training to instruction in skills such as sew- ing and driving. "Here you have the most plush synagogue in the region that has thrown open its doors to thousands of black people," he said. POLITICAL POWER in South Africa has rested, at least until recently, in the hands of the Afrikaaners, whites of Dutch des- cent, Bernhard said. The Jews, he adds, have no political clout in South Africa. It is impossible to be a white liv- ing in Africa and not be affected by apartheid. The factory workers, laborers are part of a pyramid of disadvantaged, ex- ploited black people. "I frankly believe I would have a very big problem justifying being there if I didn't feel I had an overriding justification," Bernhard said. "When I first came to South Africa, the question I had to ask myself was what is the basis of apartheid. Is it protection of vested interest or is it bigotry?" He concluded that it is a protec- tion not just of vested economic privileges, but it's also a protec- tion of what Afrikaaners consider to be their culture, their way of life, what Bernhard calls "their Christian rational civilization." "The Afrikaaners are basically religion Calvanists.

THE JEWISH community has changed since Bernhard has been there. He says he has seen it grow to a more religious, more obser- vant Torah community and that is thriving in unity more than ever before. And the government is starting to change as well. "In fact, some of the great legal bastions of apartheid have felt themselves grow limited. A great deal of change has been made. But instead of welcoming that and en- couraging it, there's been a nasty, carping, bitchy kind of ungracious poo-pooing of the whole thing. "There's a lot of misunderstan- ding. I am personally very resent- ful of the media war against South Africa, the willful distortions that have taken place overseas, refus- ing to report anything positive or upside of it, trying to sensationalize. "BASICALLY," suggests the rabbi, "it's come down to a ques- tion of: Is there going to be a revolution that will serve the cause of those who want the Marxist regime, or is it going to be evolution and a smooth transition to a new and fair South Africa? "There are those who im- mediately discount anyone who's trying to work for a smooth transition."

Page 12-A The Jewish Floridian/Friday, April 3, 1987 Interfaith Body Condemns Unsolicited Conversion Activity By DAVID FRIEDMAN WASHINGTON (JTA) - The Interfaith Con- ference of Metropolitan Washington has issued a statement condemning ef- forts at religious conversion which are deceptive or deny the legitimacy of another religion. Specifically con- demned were deceptive AIDS Drug Shows Promise By HUGH ORGEL TEL AVIV (JTA) A drug developed by the Weiz- mann Institute of Science which reportedly had dramatic results in the treatment of some AIDS victims, has been approved by the Health Ministry for limited use in Israel. The drug, AL721, was syn- thesized from egg yolks six years ago by Weizmann Institute Profs. Meir Shinitzky and David Samuel for the treatment of drug addicts, the aged and children with cystic fibrosis. Though not approved for public use by the U.S. health authorities, it is being manufac- tured in experimental quantities by Praxis Pharmaceuticals Ltd. in Beverly Hills, Calif., under license from the Weizmann Institute. ITS EFFECT on AIDS (Ac- quired Immune Deficiency Syn- drome) was discovered accidental- ly in 1985 by an American cancer specialist, Dr. Robert Gallo, while treating a patient suffering from AIDS. Since then, Dr. Yehuda Skornik, an Israel-born American physician, has treated a number of American AIDS victims with the drug at Rokah Hospital in Tel Aviv. In a television appearance, Skornik described what he said were remarkable though still in- conclusive results. He said one pa- tient, a well-known musical con- ductor, arrived from the U.S. too weak to leave his wheelchair. He was suffering from fever, extreme weight loss and loss of appetite, and given only a few weeks to live. But after treatment with AL721, the patient gained weight, his temperature went down, and he is able to walk for miles, Skor- nik said. He cautioned, however, that this does not prove the drug to be a cure for AIDS but it shows an ability to reverse physical decline and bring about major improvement. MEANWHILE, the Health Ministry approved an application by Dr. Zvi Bentwich of the Kaplan Hospital in Rehovot to treat 10 AIDS patients with the drug. But the Ministry urged physicians and researchers to "go slow" and not encourage false hopes among pa- tients in Israel and abroad. practices aimed at Jews. The statement by the Con- ference, which is made up of 29 Islamic, Jewish, Mormon, Protes- tant and Roman Catholic "faith communities" in Washington and the surrounding Maryland and Virginia suburbs, stresses support of "the right of all religions to share their message" with people of other religions. "But it is inappropriate for one faith group to openly demean or disparage the philosophies or practices of another faith group as part of its proselytizing," the statement said. "Proselytism which does not respect human freedom is carefully to be avoided. Proselytism must be done with a sense of humility and a respect for others." WHILE INTERFAITH groups throughout the country have issued statements condemning a specific occurrence, this is believ- ed to have been the first general statement issued by such a group, according to Dr. Sidney Schwarz, executive director of the Jewish Community Council of Greater Washington, and the Rev. Clark Lobenstine, executive director of the Interfaith Conference. The Conference statement noted that it felt "compelled to speak out when a religious group promotes or sanctions activities that are harmful to the spirit of in- terreligious respect and tolerance. We condemn proselytizing efforts which delegitimize the faith tradi- tions of the person whose conver- sion is being sought. Such tactics go beyond the bounds of ap- propriate and ethically based religious outreach." The statement added that deceptive methods "are practiced on the most vulnerable of popula- tions residents of hospitals and old age homes, confused youth, college students away from home. These proselytizing techniques are tantamount to coerced conver- sions and should be condemned." AS EXAMPLES, the state- ment listed practices used by such groups as Hebrew, Christians, Messianic Jews and Jews for Jesus. "These groups specifically target Jews for conversions to their version of Christianity, mak- ing the claim that in accepting Jesus as the savior/messiah, a Jew 'fulfills' his/her faith," the state- ment said. "Furthermore, by celebrating Jewish festivals, wor- shipping on the Jewish sabbath, appropriating Jewish symbols, rituals and prayers in their chur- ches and, sometimes even calling their leaders, 'rabbi,' they seek to win over, often by deception, many Jews who are sincerely look- ing for a path back to their ancestral heritage." The Conference statement will be distributed to some 2,000 chur- ches and synagogues and clergymen in the Washington area, Lobenstine said, and will be sent to some 300 interfaith groups around the country. Zionist Visionary, Who Died At 90, Was Leader of Immense Stature Continued from Page 5-A as self-critical as Meir Ya'ari," Hazan observed. "His whole life was spent in such profound self- scrutiny and in extraordinary demands upon himself." When he was laid to rest in the cemetery at Kibbutz Merhavia, thousands attended the ceremony, including President Chaim Her- zog, Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, and Deputy Prime Minister David Levy. Prime Minister Yit- zhak Shamir, on a state visit to America, was unable to attend. His condolence cable to a man at the opposite end of the political spectrum to himself bears a mov- ing tribute to Ya'ari: "Even one who disputed his political path," said Shamir, "cannot but admire his conti-ibution to the rooting anew of the people of Israel in the Land of Israel. Meir Ya'ari was a true pioneer and a guide to a political movement of many achievements. He was a giant among the generation that had founded the state."

The Secretary General rejected t Thursday Israel's request to en the files at the UN archive war criminals to public utiny, contending that the na- ns which were members of the ig-defunct War Crimes Com- ssion had objected to it. HNYAMIN NETANYAHU, ael's Ambassador to the United toons, told a press conference re he hopes that de Cuellar will xmsider his decision in view of ormation obtained by Israeli Searchers who examined more an 300 files obtained by Israel t May from the UN archive on f criminals. The UN archive, ated in downtown Manhattan, 'tains some 40,000 files on spected Nazis and their ahorators. 'Yad Vashem researchers have termined that public access to i files would generate a signifi- it amount of new information garding the Holocaust," fcnyahu said. He said that a rough investigation of 347 files 'ealed the extent of information Pfaing the Holocaust that ped the West before the war's Jle 79/P/G/16 describes the "ruction of hundreds of "sands of Jews at Treblinka "centration camp. It was ^ered to the UN War Crimes fission on April 24, 1944," Ambassador said. Similar in- "''"""inn the mass murder of 's at. Maidanek and Belzec con- ation camps was delivered to the Commission on June 3, 1944, Netanyahu noted. World War II ended in May 1945. YAD VASHEM researchers also discovered, according to Netanyahu, lists of personnel who ran the camps; the nature and amount of property confiscated from European Jewry by the Nazis; the number of victims and survivors of the Holocaust; infor- mation on the "Sondergrichte" the special German couiLs in oc- cupied Nazi territories; official reports, unknown until now, detailing Nazi policy on European Jewry and the camps; and new details on Nazi medical experiments. "Public access to the files is in- dispensable to establish a more ac- curate record of that historical period," Netanyahu declared. "The present rules of confiden- tiality prevent widespread research into this material and its publication and dissemination." He added: "Unfettered access to the files would facilitate the work of governmental agencies pursuing and prosecuting Nazi war criminals by providing new historical accounts and legal documents." THE ISRAELI ENVOY noted that many of the files were writ- ten in English. "This is highly unusual and would benefit many young researchers not fluent in German, Polish, Czech and other East European languages," he said. Netanyahu, confirming the fact that only Australia, out of the 17 nations who were members of the War Crimes Commission, agreed to the opening of the files, was asked why, in his opinion, the ma- jority of the former members of the Commission objected to the opening of the files. "I can assume that some of the findings will be unpleasant to individuals and to governments," he answered. NEW YORK The American Jewish Congress says it is "deeply distress- ed" by a CBS "60 Minutes" segment on March 22 because it claims the pro- gram suggested that only a relatively small number of Soviet Jews are unhappy with life in the Soviet Union. A statement by Theodore R. Mann, president of AJCongress, said the segment, featuring Mike Wallace, presented a "simplistic and inaccurate picture" of Soviet Jewish reality and was dedicated "to sweeping aside painful evidence of decades of anti-Jewish discrimination and oppression." THE STATEMENT asserted it has never been denied by American Jewish organizations that some Jews are satisfied with Soviet life and do not wish to leave. But it noted that the "key concern" is with the "400,000 Jews who have requested and received invitations from Israel" and with additional hundreds of thousands "who may wish to leave but are fearful of even expressing such a desire." Mann's statement also question- ed the candor of "satisfied" Jews interviewed by Mr. Wallace, con- tending they were fully aware that their comments "would even- tually be seen and heard by the Soviet government." The text of Mann's statement reads: "WE ARE deeply distressed by a March 22 segment on CBS's 'Sixty Minutes' suggesting that only a small group of hard-core Soviet Jewish dissidents are dissatisfied with life in the Soviet Union. "We have never denied that there are some Jews who are satisfied with Soviet life and do not wish to leave. Others, referred Scholar Raps South Africa JERUSALEM (JTA) A leading Israeli scholar and former diplomat delivered an un- precedented blast at South African Jewry here Tuesday. "They are part of the white power structure and benefit from it. There's nothing Israel owes peo- ple who are part of a racist regime," Prof. Shlomo Avineri declared at a Hebrew University symposium on South Africa. Apparently referring to Israel's reluctance to follow the West in applying sanctions against the Pretoria regime because of possi- ble repercussions for South African Jews, Avineri asserted that "South African Jews can take care of themselves very well and don't need Israel's support." Israel announced last week that it would phase out its military and other relationships with South Africa. Avineri, who was director general of the Israel Foreign Ministry in 1976-77 and is a world renowned authority on Marx and Hegel, raised a storm earlier this month when he accused American Jewish leaders of demonstrating a "galut" mentality in their response to the Jonathan Pollard spy case, "cringing" for fear of charges of dual loyalty. Avineri, long a critic of Israel's relations with South Africa, urged Tuesday that the estimated 15,000 Israelis living in South Africa be stripped of their citizenship. to in the TV segment by a Soviet Jewish refusenik as 'trained Jews,' have been willing to trade their Jewish identity for material rewards within the Soviet system. "Our key concern, rather, is with the 400,000 Soviet Jews who have requested and received in- vitations from Israel. These do not even include the additional hun- dreds of thousands of Jews who may wish to leave but are fearful of even expressing such a desire. "The Sixty Minutes segment ig- nores this truth about the Soviet Jewish condition and dedicates itself to sweeping aside painful evidence of decades of anti-Jewish discrimination and oppression. "ONE CANNOT help wonder about the candor of some of those "satisfied" Jews interviewed on camera who knew full well that their comments would eventually be seen and heard by the Soviet government. "It is strange that 'Sixty Minutes' did not make a single reference to the U.S. State Department's recently-issued 'Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 1986' which notes that Jews in the Soviet Union are subjected to 'systematic persecution based on ancestry.' This report also declares that Jews are denied ac- cess to the better schools and universities, are virtually banned from political careers in the Com- munist Party and upper echelons of state government and from other crucial areas of public life, and have been subjected to vicious anti-Semitic Vilification in official Soviet propaganda, including books, broadcasts and newspaper articles. Moreover, Soviet Jews study or teach Hebrew or Jewish history only at the risk of imprisonment "Even those assimilated Jews who have sought accommodation with the Soviet system cannot en- tirely escape the burden of their official designation as Jews. And for those who choose to live as Jews, worship as Jews or main- tain Jewish cultural traditions, the price is infinitely greater. In Soviet terms, one cannot be a full- fledged citizen and also be a Jew. "It is regrettable that 'Sixty Minutes,' in its eagerness to scoop its competitors in the media, has presented a simplistic and inac- curate picture of a complex and troubling problem that will surely be recorded by Soviet public rela- tions specialists as a major triumph."

They too, like all the others, were exploited, but they fought proudly and many with some acclaim. Champions? There were plenty of Jewish champions. They made a movie about Barney Ross. A champion in two divisions, a Marine hero in World War II, Ross became addicted to drugs after having been wounded. He came all the way back to reclaim his position of honor. When I met him about 30 years ago, he was traveling in the entourage of a young singer named Eddie Fisher. ROSS FOUGHT some great ones. Three times he fought another Jewish fighter, the legen- dary Benny Leonard. In their first encounter, he had Leonard on the ropes and clubbed him a couple of real good shots so that Leonard could hardly stand. He grabbed Ross and said: "Is that as hard as you can hit?" Ross backed off and lost the fight. There was Slapsy Maxie Rosenblum who became a nightclub comic and Abe Simon, a Jewish heavyweight, who wore the Mogen David on his trunks. Max Baer actually became heavyweight champion of the world for a short time. Years later, his son would star in "The Beverly Hillbillies." Baer's brother, Buddy, was a pretty good heavyweight, as was Lou Novakoff who fought under the name Lou Nova. He trained on yoga and used to hang from a California Redwood tree by one foot. I don't know why. THE JEWS seemed to phase out of boxing shortly after the se- cond world war. The Italians and the blacks stayed in. Why the Irish and the Jews left, I really don't know. I know that, having met some ex-fighters, it is no job for a Jewish boy. Other sports were a pretty good avenue to get a kid a college education his folks couldn't af- ford. Football attracted Jewish boys. No kidding. Names like Mar- shall Goldberg at the University of Pittsburgh, Sid Luckman at Col- umbia and then the Chicago Bears. But the game that attracted the most Jews for years was basket- ball. Jewish names used to dominate the rosters of college teams in the east. CCNY had some great all-Jewish squads. Then there were Joe Lapchick, who became a great coach, and Nat Holman of the original Celtics.

ONE OF the original franchises in pro basketball was that of the Philadelphia SPHAS. The SPHAS became the Philadelphia Seventy- Sixers. The old club used to play their games at the Broadwood Hotel on North Broad Street, pretty far from home base, for SPHAS stood for South Philadelphia Hebrew Association. A little guy named Red Klotz us- ed to play for them when I was a pre-teen. The last time I saw Klotz was just three years ago, and he was still playing. He showed up with the Washington Nationals, the team which plays the Harlem Globetrotters. They announced that he was in his fifties, but they were shading him anyhow a decade. Jewish kids from the neighborhoods grew up playing great basketball. In Philadelphia and Brooklyn, the houses had back doors leading to the alleys between the streets. Every alley had its basketball net. BY THE time they reached high school, they had played together as a team for seven years or so and had their moves down pat. Sometimes a whole basketball team would go on to college all from the same two streets. After World War II, the Jewish kids moved out of neighborhoods that had alleys and into the suburbs. They still played some basketball, but it was different. There is an intensity about a kid from a rough neighborhood in sports that you just don't get in a suburban school. Now, I will admit to you that I don't know a whole lot of seven- foot Jewish boys.

I wonder that he cannot understand the terrible harm he is causing the Jewish community. And this at a time when we need all the help and encouragement we can muster. Your editorial in the March 27 issue clearly calls for the widest kind of condemnation. The Jewish media should once and for all call this trouble-maker to task. With such friends we certainly do not need enemies. Rabbi Neusner should know that his gratuitous ruminations do not represent the thinking of the vast majority of American Jews. America and Israel are two main focal points for the Jewish populace in this country, and no one should dare. certainly not a learned rabbi, im- pugn their love for either country and their loyalty to the United States. RABBI RUBIN R. DOBIN Miami Beach I have finally come upon a realization but not a conclusion. With little concentration, a question is raised. Is cantonal chanting a takeover of "rock" music in the minor key? Or is "rock chanting" a takeover of cantorial mu^ic in the major key?

The books contend that a world-wide Jewish conspiracy is to blame for Japan's increasing economic woes. Heschel As a Great 'Prophet' Anti-Semitic Feelings Feared on the Rise in Japan By JUDITH COLP WASHINGTON (JTA) I- Officials of the Anti- [Defamation League of B'nai JB'rith have expressed con- kern to Japanese Am- Ibassador Nobuo Matsunago about the rise of anti- |Semitic literature in Japan. They told Matsunago at a fneeting here that the ADL vanted "to work with the Uapanese by making available [materials to reduce prejudice and stereotyping," according to Jess Hordes, ADL's associate Washington director. Hordes was accompanied to the meeting at the Japanese Embassy by Burton |Lcvinson. ADL national chair- nan, and Abraham Foxman, ADL issociate national director. Mat- sunago was "Open and ap- preciative of the proposal and said ne would convey it to the govern- ment," Hordes said.

"How to Head the Hid den Meaning of Jewish Protocol," and "Mysterious Judea." Articles assert that .lews were behind the Lockheed Aircraft bribery case that led to the criminal conviction of a former Japanese Prime Minister, Kakuei Tanaka, and the Watergate scan- dal. A book. "The Secret of Jewish Power to Control the World," was written in 1984 and is still in circulation. Its author, Eisaburo Saito, is a member of Parliament's upper house. UNO, in his book, "If You Understand Judea, You Can Understand the World," claims that Jews caused the Great Depression of the 1930's and are plotting a second one for the 1990's. In his second book, "If you Understand Judea, You Can Understand Japan," Uno asserts that the number of Jews killed in World War II was exaggerated. The two books have sold a total of 650,000 copies. Uno describes himself as a Christian fundamen- talist and head of an Osaka-based organization called the Middle East Problems Research Center, according to the Times. Matsunago told the ADL that Japan guarantees freedom of speech and that anti-Semitic views are not representative of the people or the government. The Japanese Embassy refused to comment about the meeting. IN A LETTER to the New York Times, Itari Umezu, director of the Japan Information Center, said that "anti-Semitism has no roots in Japanese history." Dur- ing World War II, when Japan was an ally of Nazi Germany, some Japanese aided Jews in escaping from Europe. There also have been disclosures of a prewar Japanese project, the "Fugu Plan," to invite German Jews to settle in Manchuria. But reports of current anti- Semitism in Japan prompted a let- ter by Rep. Charles Schumer (D., N.Y.) and Sen. Arlen Specter (R.. Pa.) in which they told Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone that "the raw anti-Semitism in your country cannot go unchallenged." By DAVID FRIEDMAN WASHINGTON (JTA) Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, the late Jewish philosopher and civil rights activist, was recalled as a "prophet" by Coretta Scott King here Monday. King, president of the Martin Luther King Jr. Federal Holiday Commission, spoke at a meeting of the commission of the "com- mon ground of faith" between her late husband and Heschel, who was a professor at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. She said it was good from time- to-time to be reminded that "peo- ple like Martin and Rabbi Heschel don't come around very often." She said the two men were friends and co-workers in the civil rights struggle. Martin Luther King spoke to the Rabbinical Assembly of America, the Conservative rab- binic group, in March 1968, ten days before he was slain by an assassin in Memphis, Tenn., and his widow recalled Heschel's in- troduction of her husband. "Mar- tin Luther King Jr. is a voice, a vi- sion and a way," Heschel said. "I call upon every Jew to hearken to his voice, to share his wisdom to follow his way. The whole future of America will depend on the im- pact and influence of Dr. King."

Is there a need for Federal or state laws making English the "official language" of the United States? How do the "English-only" movements relate to America's tradi- tion of cultural pluralism? Is bilingual education effec- tive? Should all Americans be multilingual? And how can we defuse the often heated tensions surrounding these issues and replace rancor with reasonable, workable solutions? These and related questions were discussed at what is believed to be the first major Conference on Language Policy in the United States, a forum on "English: The Only Language? Whose Deci- sion?" last week at the Tamiami Campus of Florida International University in Miami. SPEAKERS included experts in bilingual education, leaders of minority communities, and intergroup-relations specialists. Conference sponsors were the American Jewish Committee, the Center for Educational Develop- ment, Center for Multilingual and Multicultural Studies of Florida International University, Cuban National Planning Council, Dade County Community Relations Board, Florida International University, Greater Miami United, and the Mitchell Wolfson New World Center Campus of Miami-Dade Community College. Keynote speaker was Dr. Sarah E. Melendez, associate director of the American Council on Educa- tion's Office of Minority Con- cerns, who said in an inteview: "We don't need laws to make English the official language, as it already is, by tradition and custom. Furthermore, Hispanics and other language minority groups don't need laws to force them to learn English; rather, they need opportunities they need classes, teachers, and materials. Every ESL class has a waiting list, which proves we don't need to be coerced to learn English." Dr. Melendez also disputed "the prevalent notion that large numbers of Hispanics never learn English," pointing to Census Bureau findings than 94 percent of Hispanics in the United States speak English to some extent. AS FOR the youngsters of Hispanic origin. Dr. Melendez said that "there is no danger that children going to our school systems will not learn English," adding: "The reality is that without some special efforts they will soon forget their parents' language, which is too bad because the United States needs many people with multiple language capabilities." Irving M. Levine, director of AJC's National Affairs Depart- ment and of its Institute for American Pluralism, discussing the issues covered by the con- ference, censured those who 30 Poles To Take Part BEERSHEBA (JTA) A team of 30 athletes from the University of Warsaw will par- ticipate in the 19th International Student Sport Games, April 26-May 3, hosted by Ben-Gurion University. This marks the first appearance of a Polish team in the tourna- ment which will include approx- imately 1,000 athletes from Brazil, Switzerland, Germany, England and Israel. "become emotionally over- wrought about linguistic diversi- ty, demand 'English-only,' and refuse to see the value in people's maintaining their ethnic linguistic and cultural interests." Agreeing that "becoming com- petent in English is more of a necessity than ever for new im- migrants," Levine held that, nevertheless, "mastering the new language while also preserving the old is what the equation should be for new ethnic Americans." AS FOR Americans whose forebears came here a generation or mroe ago, Levine suggested that "it might not be a bad idea for them to learn the language of their heritage," adding: "But if they do not care to do that, let them at least be more tolerant of those who do not wish to discard the treasures the spoken and written words of cultures that have enriched our own." Also slated in a major address at the conference is Dr. Rodolfo J. Cortina, director of the Center for Multilingual and Multicultural Studies at Florida International University. Indicating a central issue examined in his address, Dr. Cortina said that the United States Constitution, "like the na- tion, did not confirm any single ethnic reality but was, rather, in- vented by multiple ethnic groups." Moreover, he said, the Constitu- tion "was meant to be a map of the future rather than a confirma- tion of the past" and, he stressed, "the Constitution contains not one statement on language policy, thus demanding that we invent a language policy for our own future." FRAMERS OF the Constitu- tion, continued Dr. Cortina, "were not unaware of the strong feelings provoked by language and ethnicity, but their Constitu- tional silence on this issue stems from the common-law tradition of not restricting future generations through needlessly detailed laws . And I believe that a language policy in the United States has to be made by the people, and not by unnecessary laws." Touching on another aspect of the debate. Marilyn Braveman. AJC director of education and one of the organizers of the con- ference, maintained that "re- quirements that English be the of- ficial language can have dangerous, far-reaching, and unanticipated effects." "Current English-language pro- positions," she said, "contain specific provisions for enforce- ment, raising the specter of costly and time-consuming litigation. Opponents say this could en- danger or have a chilling effect on 911 lines, interpreters in state courts for witnesses, crime vic- tims and defendants, health and mental-health services, and multilingual police, fire, and emergency services.

Success quickly followed, and several decades later, Merrill got a chance to combine his love of baseball with his well-trained voice. He now sings the national anthem for the New York Yankees, and last year, for the first time, he got to throw out the opening ball. MERRILL WILL be featured with cello player Matt Haimowitz at the closing program of the Great Artists series under the direction of the distinguished Miami impresaria, Judy Drucker, on Thursday, Apr. 9, 8:15 p.m., at the Theatre of the Performing Arts. He will perform Ernest Bloch's Sacred Service, a liturgical offer- ing the late composer wrote some 40 years ago. The composition features the text of a Friday night religious service, and Merrill has recorded it for worldwide distribu- tion on the Columbia label with Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. Merrill was born and raised in Brooklyn, where he graduated from New Utrecht High School. His mother, Lillian, was a soprano who came to America from War- saw, Poland, when she was 16 years old. His father, Abraham, also moved to this country from Poland around the same time, and they married a year later. "MY MOTHER had a beautiful voice, but in those days you couldn't study. They had no money," Merrill recalls. But his mother knew he was go- ing to sing right away. After all, she heard me scream right away," he said. But Merrill pursued baseball and got a job pitching on Sundays for a semi-professional team. His mother didn't like that, and when Merrill was 17, she got him his first and only voice teacher, Samuel Margolis. "He inspired me immediately," said Merrill. "I took the subway from Brooklyn and got off at 39th and Broadway, which is where the old Metropolitan Opera used to be. I would feel inspired as soon as I got off the subway and went to his studio." LESSONS WERE $3 at the time, and were too expensive for Merrill. Margolis helped him get a scholarship to continue his studies. Three years later, he got a job in the Catskills and, with popular songs, began to make a living singing. One thing led to another, and he found himself an agent. In 1945, Merrill auditioned for the Metropolitan Opera, and, although nervous, he was confi- dent because of his good training. He won and made his debut that year in La Traviata, playing the father, Germont. He still con- siders that his favorite role. For the next 32 years, he sang with the Metropolitan Opera, and at Robert Merrill one point had his own radio pro- gram on NBC. Merrill is married to Marion, and they have two children, David, a composer, and Lizanne, an artist. MERRILL LEFT the Metropolitan Opera about seven years ago. "I wanted to spend more time doing concerts and traveling around the world," said Merrill, whose 25 roles during his tenure with the opera included Aida, the Barber of Seville, and Othello. "I'm looking forward to singing the Bloch Sacred Service," he said. "It's one of my favorite pieces. Everything fits." Merrill will be singing the 50-minute com- position with the Philharmonic Orchestra of Florida, conducted by Samuel Krachmalnick. Rabbi Gary Glickstein of Temple Beth Sholom will be narrator. The Civic Chorale of Greater Miami with Lee Kjelson, musical direc- tor, will also accompany. In 1987, Merrill will perform in some 15 concerts. "I STILL enjoy it, and I enjoy getting before the public and sing- ing very well and having fun," he said. "The day I feel it's not fun, I'll retire." Except for wanting to pitch in the Big Leagues for a few years, Merrill said of his career, "I wouldn't have wanted anything else." Amiram Efrati North American Representative Of Mapam By ALISA KWITNEY Jewish Floridian Staff Writer Israelis must face the fact that they are situated in the middle of an Arab ocean, and that there will eventual- ly be a Palestinian state on their eastern border, either on the West Bank or in Jor- dan, states Amiram Efrati, the North American representative of Mapam, the United Workers Party in Israel. "And Israelis must face the reality that there will always be an Arab minority in Israel, no matter what," adds the native born Jerusalemite. "There is a mentality in Israel which says that we are in the mid- dle of a minefield, so don't move. But there are those among us who think that some of the mines are time bombs." EFRATI, who has lived on Kib- butz Dan on the border near Lebanon and Syria since he was 17, is presently based in New York in order to further his goal of facilitating direct discussions among Arabs and Jews. One of the time bombs, accor- ding to Efrati, is the religious radicalization which has token Continued on Page 7-B ISeder For Soviet Jews 2-B Dear Nomi 8-B Passover Recipes 9-B Synagogue Listing 15-B Obituaries 16-B Page2B The Jewish Floridian/Friday, April 3, 1987 Federation's Israel Programs Office Offers Summer Programs To Israel "We're here to promote the idea of going to Israel," said Lin- da Minkes, chairman of the Israel Program Committee of the Greater Miami Jewish Federa- tion. "This summer the Israel Pro- grams Office is offering a wide range of youth programming for individuals aged 13-24," she announced. "There are programs for every interest," said Raffi Miller, com- munity "shaliach" (emmissary) from the State of Israel to South Florida and director of the Israel Programs Office. "When an in- dividual comes into my office, I talk with him or her trying to discover the program best suited to individual needs and interests. As an example, many people are not ready to work outdoors on a kibbutz, while others are perfectly suited for this Israeli experience," he added. Programs are divided into age categories according to the par- ticular interests and needs of the individual traveler. People of high school age, 13-18 years old, can take trips which include a tour of Israel, including a visit to a kib- butz, scuba diving, film making, studying Hebrew, or whatever else is of particular interest to the youngster. Most of the summer programs are six to eight weeks in duration. Longer term programs including study in Israeli high schools or universities are also available. The long term program provid- ed to high school aged students is called "Youth Aliyah." This allows the youngster to stay in Israel for a year or more while studying at an Israeli high school. The second age group for Israel travel is college aged individuals, 18-24 years old. They have the choice of traveling for a six week summer tour or staying longer by studying at an Israeli university. Many universities such as Bar- Ilan, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Haifa University, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and Tel Aviv University, offer classes taught in English to ac- commodate these students. "Stay- ing in Israel for a longer period of time allows an individual to inter- relate with the people who live there and in time the student can begin to truly understand what it means to be an Israeli," said Miller. "By far the most successful pro- gram for this age group is 'Kib- butz Ulpan,' said Minkes. "In this program, individuals spend six months working on a kibbutz. Par- ticipants work half a day and study Hebrew for half a day," she adds. Individuals attending college who are unable to get away for the summer, also have programs designed for them upon gradua- tion. "One program of particular interest is 'Sherut La'am.' mean- ing service to the people," said Miller. In this year-long program, graduates from American univer- sities go to Israel and begin their careers. They begin by studying Hebrew for the first three months in an intensive "ulpan" program, after which they are placed in jobs that they are qualified to ac- complish. Participants receive housing and a monthly stipend while working during this time. " 'Sherut La'am' is a program for those who want to touch more than the surface of the Israeli ex- perience. The appeal of this pro- gram for college graduates is to gain an insider's knowledge of Israel while acquiring valuable work experience," said Miller. Miller is quick to point out that the Israel Programs Office is not a travel agency. "When individuals :ome into our office, we interview them, help them decide on the ap- Linda Minkes propriate program and then ex- pedite the necessary paper work to New York, where the programs originate," said Miller. "If an individual discovers a program that interests him, he should come to our office at Federation and ask for more in- formation. Some people don't ask because they are afraid that they will not be able to afford costs of Raffi Miller the programs," said Minkes. "Dade County residents should be aware that the Israel Programs Office has scholarship and grant money to offer to qualified ap- plicants," she concluded.

Passover Seder For Soviet Jews Soviet Jews Will Not Be Forgotten At Passover On Sunday Temple Samuel Or Olom in South Dade will be the site of a special Seder on behalf of the more than 380,000 Jews trying to leave the Soviet Union. More than 150 South Dade teenagers are expected to attend. According to Shirley Pollak, co-chairman of the South Florida Conference on Soviet Jewry, an arm of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation's Community Relations Commit- tee, "the Seder will have special poignancy because it will take place durine a 17-day hunger strike in Washington D.C. by Alexander Slepak, son of Vladimir and Maria Slepak who have been trying to emigrate since 1970." The Soviet authorities recently told the Slepaks that they would "never" be allowed to leave the Soviet Union because they had "access to state secrets." In addition to the Slepaks eight others have also become "permanent refuseniks" as a result of the edict: Yulian Khasin, Natalia Khassina, Yuli Kosharovsky, Dr. Alexander Lerner, Yakov Rakhlenko, Valery Soyfer and Lev and Alia Sud. "We will be thinking of all of them during Passover" said Pollak. "Also, let us not forget Ida Nudel, 'the mother of the refuseniks,' who first applied for an exit visa in 1971, and was subsequently sent to Siberia and then into internal exile." The Freedom Seder will take place between 3-5 p.m. on Sunday at Temple Samuel Or Olom, 9353 SW 152 Ave., Miami.

Wiensenthal (seen left) called 'Attorney General' for the millions of people murdered in the Holocaust, flew in from his home in Vienna for the affair. He is shown standing next to mistress of ceremonies Pia Zadora, the evening's honoree Don Soffer and Rabbi Marvin Heir, dean of the Wiesen- thal Center. Simon Wiesenthal: It Has Not Been An Easy Life By ELLEN ANN STEIN Jewish Floridian Staff Writer Internationally-known Nazi war criminal hunter Simon Wiesenthal twice tried to commit suicide when he was taken to a con- centration camp, where 89 members of his family perished in the Holocaust. Izak Lehman was the concen- tration camp prisoner who was ordered to clean the blood from the car where Wiesenthal, know- ing what was in store, tried to kill himself. LEHMAN and Wiesenthal reminisced last week about the painful experiences at a dinner to celebrate the opening of a South Florida branch of the Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center. Wiesenthal flew in from his home in Vienna to attend the din- ner at Turnberry Country Club. "I was in a jail hospital, and I tried to commit suicide again," Wiesenthal said during a press conference held before the dinner. "I stole a little box of pills. I didn't know what they were. I swallowed them all and noted they tasted bit- ter. The next day the doctor came to me and said, "You've stolen my 500 saccharin pills." WIESENTHAL, 78, has spent nearly half his life tracking down Nazi war criminals who con- tributed to the deaths of not only six million Jews but of six million non-Jews alike." Since his liberation in 1945, Wiesenthal's relentless efforts have resulted in bringing 1,125 Nazi war criminals to justice. "It has not been an easy life," Wiesenthal said. "My wife says I am not a husband, but that I am married to millions of the dead." The matter "must remain open tor the sake of the future," he said, adding his ever-present war- Sf" "history can ***** i,An& ,the criminals, he said, snould know that they are not forgotten. "When I was a young man, like my grandchildren, we were so wiieving in the progress of our century. Now we hope that we >uJd. through our work, bring wnsitive knowledge to young peo- Z Sthat they may recognize the danger. To live like nothing hap- pened is a crime. To be alive is to Pay a price. There's not a written law that the next victims should be Jews." THERE ARE still "tens of thousands" of Nazi war criminals living in different parts of the world with false names. "My program is to reduce hatred because hatred and technology survived the two big monsters: Hitler and Stalin. When we cannot reduce hatred, the future of the whole people in the world is in danger." The affair at Turnberry brought some 380 guests. It was a formal event where the white-gloved waiters continually poured wine and Evian water from bottles wrapped in both napkins. The developer and owner of Turnberry, Don Soffer, received an award as guest of honor "for his generous contribution to the Wiesenthal Center." Mistress of Ceremonies, actress Pia Zadora, referred to Soffer as a man who gives "in a quiet and dignified way." AMONG GUESTS of honor were Col. Richard R. Seibel, whose command liberated Wiesenthal and thousands of others from the Mauthausen death camp. Seibel was an ex- ecutive officer in Gen. George S. Pattons' Third Army of Combat Command B. Seibel's reaction to the camp was that it was "unbelievable," and something that an ordinary citizen could not imagine. There were death, starvation, sickness, "anything you want to mention," he said. A special highlight of the even- ing came when Wiesenthal and other Holocaust survivors and liberators walked down an aisle in the ballroom, and each lit one long candle. One man wiped tears from his eyes. His wife had been gassed at the Treblinka death camp. Excerpts from the Academy Award-winning documentary, "Genocide," were shown. The movie, co-written by Rabbi Mar- vin Heir, who was also present at the dinner, will be airing on some 155 public television stations throughout the country in April, May and September.

Zinovy Ostrovsky of Leningrad, and his family since she immigrated to the I\S 10 years ago "MY BROTHER has been refused exit visas nine times.' Grottei said. She said that her father and sister immigrated to Israel a few years ago and that her father died there last year. '"My brother wonders why his father does not call or write him. and we don't dare tell him that our father is no longer alive.'' she said. Neither does her brother know about her serious illness, she said. I am pleading with the Soviet government to let my brother reunite with me before it is too late. Let him reunite with the liv- ing, not the dead.'" she said, her voice shaking with sadness and agony. She said her brother cart get an exit visa because he allege-: j ncnds ''state secrets." He was an engineer, but for the last 11 years has worked as a porter, loading and unloading trucks it. a Len- ingrad restaurant.

Amiram Efrati North American Representative of Mapam Friday, April 3, 1987/The Jewish Floridian Page 7-B Continued from Page 1-B place on both sides. The danger is that instead of having a conflict between two states, we will have a conflict bet ween two religions," which can remain unreconciled for hundreds of years, as history has shown. Another time bomb is the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Caza. which has been ticking for almost 20 years now. "Even without the problems of occupation, the annexation of those lands would be a problem," says Efrati. "IMAGINE THAT the Palesti- nian leadership had come to Israel and said, 'given a choice between you and Jordan, we'd rather be annexed by you. At least you didn't kill 20,000 Palestinians in one month (Black September) like Hussein.' Given the present rate of population growth, by the year 2000 the Jews would no longer be a majority in Israel. "Either you would no longer have a Jewish State, or you would no longer have a democracy." But occupation poses additional dangers, says Efrati. "The occupation is corrupting us, no question about it. In- tolerance, violence, and anti- democratic trends don't know green lines, and they don't know borders. "If the police can break into Berzeit University in the West Bank, they can break into Hebrew University in Jerusalem. "RACISM IS a part of occupa- tion, and it will eventually appear at our front door. You take a very nice, 18-year-old boy, raised on kibbutz, given the best education, and you send him to Gaza to find a terrorist in his home. This ter- rorist has killed innocent people, but in order to find him, our young soldier has to throw the family out onto the street, break into univer- sities, and shoot at demonstrators. "What kind of citizen will he be, what kind of husband and father?" asks Efrati. Israeli and Arab teenagers who have come to maturity under oc- cupation are among the most susceptible to racist and violent proposals, because "younger peo- ple look for black and white solu- tions," claims Efrati. "You can educate a teenager for five years about the importance of FwmKadaish to ChadGadyo PREMIUM CALIFORNIA WINES This wine has not been boiled.

You'll marvel at its many uses! HOB1? 1TO Kosher for Passover peaceful co-existence, and then along comes someone like Meir Kahane with a clever slogan and sweeps it all away." EFRATI, who calls Kahane a "mirror that reflects the small, ugly part of racism which exists in each and every one of us," says that "There are people in Israel who might not have elected Kahane to the Knesset, but who share some of his ideas. But if you try to explain to them that Kahane's solution (to expel all the Arabs from Israel) justifies everything done to the Jews in their history, most will re- examine their thinking." Part of the problem, according to Efrati, may be that "Jews and Arabs often do not meet until they reach the university level, if they don't meet on opposite sides of a demonstration first." This can be directly attributed to the fact that Arabs do not serve in the army, which is an important social force and melting pot in Israel. "IT IS extremely difficult to be an Israeli Arab, admits Efrati. "Abdul Aziz Zuabi, the first Arab to be elected vice minister, once said that 'my tragedy as an (Israeli) Arab is that my country is at war with my nation.' "There should be a declaration on the part of Israel, Jordan, the United States and the PLO of mutual recognition of the rights of self-determination," states Efrati, who supports dealing with the mainstream of the PLO in negotiations. "The question is not with whom to talk," he says, "but about what. Where do we start? When we talk about peace process, we have to know that a paper of peace can easily become a piece of paper." EFRATI SAYS that he assumes that, as in the case of the Civil War in America, it will take several generations for warmer relations to develop between Palestinians and Israelis, even after the fighting has stopped. And after the fighting stops, the Israeli arms industry should reflect the diminished need for its products. "The Israeli military industry should supply Israel, period, without materials for export," contends Efrati. "A Jewish state should not be involved in selling arms arms kill, and you don't know if they will be used by good killers or bad killers." In the end, Israeli exports of arms to countries like Iran can produce truly painful examples of the irony of war. "My kibbutz was once shelled by Shiites using arms originally sold to Iran by Israel," says Efrati. IN THE Israeli film, "Avanti Popolo," an Egyptian soldier begs for a drink of water from an Israeli soldier by quoting from the speech in the Merchant of Venice where Shylock asks, "If you prick us, do we not bleed?" "What's up with him?" asks one Israeli soldier. "He has his roles confused," replies the other. But in the confusing reality of the Middle East today, with such complicated problems as an American Jew, Jonathan Pollard, spying for Israel because certain information pertaining to Israeli security was being withheld, who hasn't gotten their roles confused? "Many things are not clear," says Efrati of the Pollard case. "You have to assume that there's spying going on back and forth between the United States and the USSR, and the sentences given out were less than life. "Pollard's life sentence must have been some kind of red light Amiram Efrati to the Israelis don't push it too far. That's the only way I can understand it." AS FORthe promotions of two key Israeli figures, Aviem Sella and Rafael Eitan, Efrati says that even "If there were no govern- ment involvement, the promo- tions challenge the credibility of both Israel and the United States. "Almost all of the Israeli population in Israel is in agree- ment that the spying was wrong, but why did America withhold the information? The world of in- telligence is a twilight zone which no one talks about." Episodes of the television series, "Twilight Zone," usually ended with the voice of the nar- rator giving some kind of explana- tion providing a moral to be learn- ed. Whether or not the enigmatic episodes of the past year will be supplied with a similar closing passage yet remains to be seen. But Amiram Efrati, many miles and light years away from dairy farm he used to manage on his kib- butz, will doubtless continue to search. Efrati spoke on the subject of "Political Morality in Israel" in Deerfield Beach's Century Plaza last week in both Hebrew and English, and at the Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center in North Miami Beach for the Americans for a Progressive Israel and Friends of Hashomer Hatzair, the youth movement with which Efrati was affiliated as a high school student in Israel.

Signed. J.S. from Miami Beach Dear J.S.: There is more of a chance for a woman to find romance at 50 and over now than there was a generation or so ago. when the popular notion was that a woman of "a certain age" should be content to knit and bake for her grandchildren. But the stark reality is that there are more single women than men in your peer group, and traditionally women have looked for men who are slightly older and at least as successful as they are. which narrows their choices. One thing which you might con- sider is searching for men who are your age or slightly younger, broadening the pool of possible companions. Another idea is to look outside of your immediate geographical area, if a commuter-relationship might be an option for you. Yet it is not a bad idea for you to learn to enjoy being alone. Be- ing independent has its advan- tages, such as the freedom to travel, open your home to whomever you please, etc. The fuller and happier you make your life as a single woman, the more attractive you will be to others who would like to share that life with you. Yours. Nomi Dear Nomi: I have been dating the same guy for over a year and he has never made a sexual advance. When I first started seeing him he told me that he had just been jilted and was still getting over it so I assumed that this was the reason he was reluctant to become involved. Now after a year of dinner dates I would think lie would show more interest. We enjoy each others company, and I see him on a regular basis. He says he does not see anyone else. We are both over 40. How can I bring up the subject without sounding cheap insen- sitive or sex crazed? I have found it hard to approach him about this and wonder if possibly his reluctance is related to the current fears of AIDS and numerous other risks today. What can I do? Sincerely, Wondering Dear Wondering: Your friend may still be reluctant to get romantically involved for any one of a number of reasons; he may still be suffer- ing from the insecurity of hav- ing been rejected in his last relationship, he may have reservations about com- plicating a good friendship, or he may simply not be attracted to you as a lover. It is also possible that he fears contrac- ting, or possibly transmitting, a sexually transmitted disease. The only way to find out is to speak to him. On one of your dinner dates (not at a restaurant!) you might begin by asking him whether he still thinks about his last relation- ship, and if he would like to become romantically involved again. You should prepare yourself for his answer, which may not be exactly what you want to hear, but once you find out exactly where vou stand in this rela- tionship, you can decide what you want to do. which include Although it might seem oSJ wise, you have nothing to km by communicating, and plenty to gain!

Israeli Film Festival Opening A Gala Event By ALISA KWITNEY Jewish Fhridian Staff Writer There were sequins and champagne and wandering face-painters to sprinkle more glitter on the crowd which turned out for the opening night gala of the Israeli Film Festival at the Colony Theatre Sunday. When the elegant crowd, which included many prominent Jewish Miamians, was seated in the theatre, Nora Swan and Hank Kaufman, co-directors of the film festival, and Mayor Alex Daoud of Miami Beach, recently returned from a trip to Israel, introduced the first film of the festival, "Avanti Popolo," with proper pomp and circumstance. RAHAMIM TIMOR, Israeli Consul General to Miami, also helped, introduce the evening's festivities. When the film, which will be shown again Sunday at 6 Pm began to roll the images of the elegant evening dress of those at tending were replaced by the dus ty fatigues of Egyptian soldiers on the screen. Israelis and Americans alike were given a chance to see the end of the 1967 Six-Day War through the eyes of two Egyptian soldiers who, like the Israelis they en- countered, were through" with fighting and only wanted to get home. AFTER THE film, a black-tie show party was held at the Surf- side Beach Hotel. The Israeli Film Festival con- tinues through this week, culminating in an Israeli fair on Lincoln Road Mall on Sunday, beginning at noon. For those who love Israel from a distance, both films and the fair m; be .u chance to ex- perience Israeli culture up close right here at home.

Teller will be go- ne to her own 50 year reunion at the University of Georgia this year. The big issues at that time, for- tunately, were not more serious than how many petticoats a girl wore and chewing gum, which resulted in a detention. "WE JUST didn't have any serious discipline problems" Teller recalls. "If you had a child in school wouldn't you rather they were battling over chewing gum than hard drugs?" Until three months ago, when she lost her husband, Teller still served as a substitute at Beach High and noted that the business department, in particular, turns out students who stack up to students anywhere else. Coach Frank Paskewich will be there, rerunning plays over and over, such as the time Beach High tied state champs Miami High, 7-7. "Miami High was the top team in the state year after year, and no other local school had ever beaten them or tied them" said the coach, who was at Reach High iron. 1946 through 1952 OTHER TEACHERS expected to return for the reunion include the Gilkej sisters.

Reunion committee member Harold Cobb said that at least 200 members of the class have already made reservations for the dinner And with them will certainly be memories.

"The population on the Beach was such that the students posessed unique skills and talents. Most people were fortunate to attend that high school because it had an excellent faculty that motivated and was interested in the students." Phone calls are still coming in from around the country of former students eager to attend the reunion, Bussel said. One has to brace his or herself psychologically, Bussel added. It will be a shock to see someone who has lost their hair, gained a few pounds or wrinkled with time. And not everybody was a suc- cess, she said. Everybody has their ups and downs.

INC. 305758-0516 Page 14-B The Jewish Floridian/Friday, April 3, 1987 $11 Million In Yom Kippur War Next Generation Bonds Reinvested In New Securities Brings Art To A total ot 930 Jewish congrega- tions in the United States and Canada joined over the Purim weekend in the launching of a massive two-year Israel Bond 'Reaffirmation with Israel" reinvestment campaign. More than $11 Million in 1972 and 1973 Bonds have already been reinvested in a "dramatic reaffir- mation of support for Israel's goal of achieving economic in- dependence." it was announced by Rabbi Stanley M. Davids of New York, chairman of Israel Bonds' National Rabbinic Cabinet. "One million friends of Israel rallied in support of Israel by pur- chasing bonds at the time of the Yom Kippur War and helped the nation to reconstruct its post-war economy. Israel now wants to say 'thank you' by giving up to 20 months' advanced interest to bon- dholders for reinvesting 1972-1973 bonds early," Rabbi Davids said. Local temples participating in the Purim Reinvestment program were: Aventura Jewish Center, Bet Breira, Temple Beth Am, Temple Beth Sholom, B'nai Zion, Cuban Hebrew Congregation, Hebrew Academy, Temple Israel, Temple Judea, Temple Menorah, Temple Moses, Temple Ner Tamid, Temple Samu-El/Or Olom and Temple Emanu-El. Approximately $400 million in Israel Bonds are eligible for reinvestment in 1987 and 1988. Bonds purchased in 1972-1973 are valued at their full maturity amount if investors add the cash difference between that sum and the issue price of a higher denomination security. Secretary of State George Firestone was elected president of the Greater Miami Chapter of the American Technion Society, Jay E. Leshaw, presi- dent of the Greater Miami Chapter and Sam B. Topf, southern regional chairman and a national vice president made the announcement.

TEA "Tiny is tastier .* -" >* ft "'"- " Synopsis Of The Weekly Torah Portion ... "And he shall bring forfeit unto the Lord for his sin which he hath sinned" (Leviticus 5.6). VAYIKRA VAYIKRA God called to Moses from the tent of meeting and revealed the sacrificial laws. The burnt-offering was to consist of a male animal without blemish; if it be a fowl, it was to be a turtle- dove or a young pigeon. The purpose of this offering, which was to be completely burned, was to make atonement for evil thoughts. The meal-offering was to consist of fine flour, raw, cooked, or stewed, generally intended as a freewill offering. The peace-offering, of cattle or sheep, either male or female, was another freewill offering, or vow, offered in the name of a family. The sin-offering was intended to make amends for sins committed by error. Different categories of individuals and groups were to sacrifice different aminals for sin-offerings. The anointed priest and the congregation offered a young bullock, the prince a he- goat, a common person a she-goat. The person who touched an unclean object, or failed to keep a vow, must bring a female lamb or a female goat for a sin-offering; and if he could not afford either, he must bring a burnt-offering, the second as a sin- offering. A ram served as a guilt-offering in the case of a violation of a negative ("Thou shalt not") commandment, or in cases of theft of articles set aside as holy.

Dear Gerald and Haskell: As you probably already know, Super Sunday was a ter- rific success raising more than $1.6 million in a single day. A large part of that success was due to your support. The generous allowances you made this year, as in past years, in making available to Federation the Temple s facilities saved the community a great deal of money and allowed Federation to channel the funds back into the Campaign and the programs and agencies that so urgently need our support. Again, many thanks to the both of you, and to the Temple board of directors and staff, for helping making Super Sun- day a success. Cordially, Aaron Podhurst President Donald E.

April 1987 5 Miami takes an active role in Young Leadership Cabinet Across the nation, there are more than 325 members of the Young Leadership Cabinet, representing the best of young Jewish leadership in their communities. Miami has the distinction of having the largest number of Cabinet members from any one community, with 22 members. Created in 1963 by the United Jewish Appeal, the Young Leadership Cabinet has become an instrument to insure the continuity of our nation's dynamic Jewish communities. The Cabinet is composed of Jewish men between the ages of 25 and 40 who have proven their commitment to Judaism and Jewish community life through their leadership. Membership criteria are rigid. Participants must maintain a responsible giving level to the Combined Jewish Appeal, attend an annual Cabinet retreat, continue their active leadership in Federation and its agencies, and promote United Jewish Appeal programs such as national missions and the annual Washington conference. A parallel organization, the Young Women's Leadership Cabinet, was created by UJA in 1976 for young women, who, like their male counterparts, are seen as current and future leaders. Susan Sirotta chairs the Miami area Cabinet. Cabinet members come from all walks of life. They include lawyers, doctors, accountants, builders, and developers. "The Cabinet is made up of young executives who share one thing in common," said Richard Berkowitz. chairman of the Florida Region of the Cabinet, "the desire to be in the forefront of this generation of young Jews, a cadre of young leaders who care deeply about the destiny of the Jewish people." According to Saby Behar, chairman of the Miami area of the Cabinet, "The Miami members play major leadership roles within the Greater Miami Jewish Federation as well as the Jewish community-at-large." Many Miamians serve in both national and local leadership positions. Examples include Michael M. Adler. Jeffrey L. Berkowitz and Jack H. Levine. Adler. who is the immediate past national chairman of the Cabinet serves as the chairman of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation's Summit Division. He is also the chairman of national UJA's Super Sunday committee. Berkowitz. will co- chair the sixth National Young Leadership Conference in Washington D.C. in March. 1988. He is actively involved with Federation as the chairman of its Community Relations Committee. Levine chairs the National Committee on Leadership Development of the Council of Jewish Federations and is the immediate past chairman of Federation's Young Leadership Council. Cabinet members: Robert Maland (not pictured) a M any of the Cabinet members serve on Federation and agency boards of directors and committees. They are also in key leadership roles within the Campaign through their participation in Super Sunday and the new "Give a Day" program. Others are active in their synagogues and on the boards of directors of local branches of national Jewish organizations." added Behar. One of the things that distinguishes the Cabinet members is their strong commitment to Jewish education and learning. To help local members of the Cabinet rethink the ways in which Jewish tradition and contemporary lifestyles interrelate, a three part series on rlaidral Jewish texts and contemporary Jewish issues is now in progress, led by Cabinet member Robert Kaplan. i Michael M.

Kluger Jack H. Levine imisl^mi. si____ Robert J. Merlin Steven Messing Dr. Douglas Miller Jeffrey Newman Marc Sheridan ~ Turetsky The Cabinet, however, is not a static organization. It continually rethinks and revamps its programs in light of the current needs of Israel and the Jewish people. "Raising money is still the centerpiece of our agenda." said Behar. "But it is not the whole of our agenda. There are a number of new, exciting and innovative programs sponsored independently by the Cabinet or in concert with organizations in Israel, such as the Jewish Agency and the Israel Forum on the future of the Jewish community," he added. These programs include the Moru. process, a broad mechanism for contact between new leadership in the Diaspora and in Israel; the First World Youth Assembly, a meeting in Israel of almost 200 Jewish teenagers from the United States. Canada and Israel who met for ten days of conversation, controversy and camaraderie; and Otrma, a unique Jewish Service Corps that will provide an opportunity for young Jews of post- college age to give a year of service in Israel followed by a commitment of service to the Jewish community in the United States where they reside. Missions also play an important role in Cabinet programming. Two in particular, have special significance because leadership was provided by Cabinet members from this community. Am Echad was a unique mission last month to Western Europe and Israel that provided an opportunity for young American Jews to meet with, and begin a dialogue with, their counterparts in five European cities followed by seven days in Israel. Amy Dean, a member of the Women's Cabinet from Miami was co-leader of this mission. Her husband, Alan Kluger, a member of the Men's Cabinet led the delegation visiting Zurich, Switzerland. Tim Cohen, another Miami member of the Cabinet, has already led two economic missions to Israel for young leaders that highlighted the opportunities for economic development, critically important if Is.ael is to become self sufficient. On a related note, another Miamian, Rick Turetsky, was one of the leaders of the economic discussions at the recent World Gathering of Young Leadership in Tiberias, Israel. Although membership on the Cabinet is by invitation only. there are Cabinet sponsored events that are open to all young leaders. "One of these," said Richard Berkowitz," is the bi-annual United Jewish Appeal, Florida Region. Young Leadership Retreat that will be held in Palm Beach, Florida at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, May 1-3. The Retreat will offer an opportunity for those who attend to experience the joy of Shabbat. discuss issues of paramount concern on the Jewish agenda, develop leadership skills, meet old friends and make new friends, emphasized Berkowitz. More information about the retreat can be obtained by contacting Milton Heller at Federation, 576-4000, ext 279. "Those of us who are privileged to be involved with the Cabinet firmly believe that we are making an invaluable contribution today and laying the foundation for still greater achievements tomorrow," concluded Behar. 6 Federation, April 1987 BETSHIRA SOLOMON O SCHECHTER DAY SCHOOL A continuing commitment to excellence MShimSolomon^echter Day School is a beneficiary agency of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation s Combined Jewish Appeal The Bet Shira Solomon Schechter Day School is a conservative Day School located in Kendall, a South Dade, Miami suburb. The school was organized in 1972, for a handful of families wanting a private conservative Jewish education-with superb Judaic instruction. At the turn of the century, Solomon Schechter (1857-1915) uncovered and identified thousands of Biblical and ancient fragments of the archival room in the Cairo Synagogue. He was bringing knowledge to light, ft is that light that we at Bet Shira Solomon Schechter Day School continue to fuel. His founding of Conservative Judaism in the United States integrated American and Jewish traditions and reinvigorated Jewish thought. Bet Shira Solomon Schechter Day School carries on the values that Schechter himself represented. In the face of increasing assimilation, there is a growing commitment to Jewish Day Schools-more and more Jewish families are choosing day school education for their children. From 1962 to 1984, the number of students enrolled in Jewish day schools in America has increased from 62,000 to 120,000. Since its founding in 1964, the Sol- omon Schechter Day School Association has grown to 71 schools, with 13,390 students. In 1986, Bet Shira Solomon Schechter Day School had an enrollment of 240 students with a faculty of 46. which included specialists in areas of music, art, physical education, library, computers, speech, resource, (remedial and gifted learning) and a child psychologist. The Bet Shira Solomon Schechter Day School facilities include a two-story air con- ditioned classroom building, library, chapel, social hall, teen lounge, large playing field, and an early childhood playground. Future plans for expansion include a science lab, gym- nasium, more classrooms and a junior high facility. Bet Shira Solomon Schechter Day School is governed by the Solomon Schechter Day School Association and the Department of Education of the United Synagogue of America, the parent body of the Conservative Congregation. The goal of the school is to promote Jewish identity and commitment through Jewish learn- ing. The school has an integrated General and Judaic studies program that provides students with a unified world view based on Jewish values and concerns. A synthesis and appreciation of both Jewish and American culture is created through a total dual curriculum program: half day General studies and half day Judaic studies. Educa- tional excellence is achieved through free inquiry, discussion, and creativity while pro- moting integrity in a warm, personal, highly motivating atmosphere. Classes at Bet Shira Solomon Schechter Day School are small. The average teacher student ratio is 1 to 12 in the elementary grades with an average of as few as 1 to 5 in the nursery classes. The school is fully accre- dited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and the National Solomon Schechter Day School Association. Bet Shira's programs exceed all the basic local, state and national requirements. The results of the Iowa Test of Basic Skills, which are administered each Spring to the students, attests to the excellence of the program. On the average, students scored in the 95th per- centile. Attention is focused on the individual child, being sensitive to his or her developmental needs, interests, and aptitudes, while at the same time fostering individual growth through personalized instruction. Administration Dr. Michael Halzel-Headmaster Dr. Halzel is responsible for implementation of the school's entire program of studies and activities. In 1981, Dr. Halzel completed his doctoral studies in the field of Educational Administration at Nova University. He also holds a Master of Arts from New York Univer- sity's School of Education, a Master of Jewish Education from Bostons Hebrew College and both a B.A. and B.H.L. from Yeshiva University. Dr. Halzel has successfully served as a school administrator for the past 23 years and has been headmaster at Bet Shira since 1985. He was recently elected as a National Officer of the Jewish Educators Assembly Susan Neimand- Assistant to the Headmaster Mrs. Neimand has served the school as an outstanding teacher and administrator since 1978. She received her B.A. from Brooklyn' College and her M.A. in Education from Florida International University. She is currently a Doc- toral candidate in Elementary Curriculum and Instruction. She assists and supervises in all aspects of the program. Faculty The teaching faculty at Bet Shira is comprised of highly qualified men and women who hold baccalaureate and graduate degrees in their area of expertise. The teachers are all licensed by the State of Florida and or Central Agency for Jewish Education. Teachers show their commitment to the program and the children through long-standing devotion to Bet Shira. The average faculty member has been at the school 8 years with some having been employed in excess of 20 years. Teachers are sensitive to each child and maintain close contact with the home. Our Physical Education teacher spends 30 minutes a day with each group of elementary school children. She follows the guidelines for the Dade County curriculum which outlines specific skills for each grade. Her program stresses skills, development, enjoyment of activi- ties and cooperative play rather than competition. She also teaches move- ment exploration and body manage- ment to the 3 and 4 year olds 3 times a week. The President's Physical Fitness awards are given each year to those children who score 85% or better in strength, speed, agility, endurance and mobility. "\ The promise of our school is to equip our students with the intellectual tools, the academic skills, the motivation and self confidence to enable them to reach their full potential, and we take pride in fulfilling this promise. Bet Shira can boast having one of the largest and most complete private school libraries in South Florida. According to the School Librarian, the combined Secular and Judaic collection now totals over 11,000 volumes. In addition, the Library subscribes to 36 periodicals that are available to students, staff and families. The library is a dual facility with part geared to the students, while also containing a large collec- tion of reference material suitable for adults. All students have a regularly assigned library period each week, which is devoted to the teaching of library skills, that will prove invalu- able as they further their education. The pre- school children have a regular Library hour for story telling and play acting. All of the children from kindergarten through 6th grade, enjoy their art class each week. The children work with a large variety of materials while developing skills in drawing, design, sculpture, painting and print making. Some of the special projects introduced this year include: silkscreening, enameling, making imitation stained glass windows, antiquing, metal and Batik. The program stresses creativ- ity and encourages the children to use their imagination. Numerous projects are proudly exhibited at the Youth Fair each year. The school's elementary music teacher has devoted many years to the Bet Shira Solomon Schechter Day School. The music program consists of weekly classes in Jewish music appreciation and music theory. Religious and secular holidays are celebrated through song. Studies of famous Jewish musicians, Cantors of today and yesteryear, instruments of the orchestra and music reading and writing con- tinue throughout the year. Students share their special talents and much is learned from one another. A group of 50 students comprise the Bet Shira Youth Choir, which sings two and three part choral music. These students devote much of their free time rehearsing and perform- ing throughout the community. The overall aim of the music program is the development of a love of music and an appreciation of how music enriches one's life. Nursery children are enriched through a formal music program once a week. They are taught songs and dance relating to both secu- lar and Judaic themes. The nursery children look forward to their music classes with great enthusiasm. The students at Bet Shira Solomon Schechter Day School participate in computer classes several times a week. The classes are arranged to extend and augment the regular General Studies program. Once the computer basics have been mastered, the lab time con- sists of using a variety of educational software to reinforce concepts studied in other subject areas. A wide variety of Hebrew language and Jewish Holiday programs are available for the computers as well. The students love to work with the computers and look forward with excitement to lab time. The resource center has been set up in order to meet the special learning needs of specific individual students. A small structured environment enables students to take an active role in their own learning. Students learn to work out and apply strategies spontane- ously to help themselves learn better. Students are taught specific study skills, information gathering techniques and problem solving strategies. The enrichment center for academically advanced students provides a flexible and indi- vidual environment that promotes growth of creative and critical thinking skills. It encour- ages the students to begin to make his or her own decisions about topics that they might like to explore at greater depths and higher levels of involvement. Dr. Lani Kaskel is a practicing private child psychologist, who spends one day a week at the school. She is a warm, caring dynamic indi- vidual, who goes beyond her realm of respon- sibility. She has conducted several successful effective educational workshops for teachers, parents and students. Dr. Kaskel does in-depth psychological evaluations and diagnostic screening in order to guide teachers in meet- ing each child's individual needs. She is always available to consult with tdachers, par- ents and students concerning any school related problem. In addition to the school's own specialists, Dr. Deborah Lerer, Director of Special Educa- tion at the Central Agency for Jewish Educa- tion consults with Bet Shira on a regular basis in dealing with the enrichment and special edu- cation needs in Judaic studies. Mrs. Gerri Marcus, a speech and hearing specialist, visits the school regularly to remediate speech problems. Financial arrangements for this service are made pri- vately. Smooth and consistant daily operations could not successfully be accomplished with- out the dedication and commitment of Anne Cohen and Linda Bick, the school secretaries, who are always there to assist the parents, faculty and most importantly the children in whatever is necessary. rsery School The Bet Shira Solomon Schechter Day School has a very dynamic Nursery program: a most dedicated staff of professionals deals with each child on an individual basis, taking into account his or her social, emotional and academic needs. Teachers are concerned with the total child-programs are tailor-made based on a unified curriculum hierarchy of skills. Nursery children have the opportunity to grow socially as well as academically as they move upward in the school. There is a con- Bet Shira Solomon Schechter Day School: A Continuing Commitment to Excellence tinuity from one year to another, due to a clearly defined curriculum which stresses social development, play activities, gross and fine motor development, science, health edu- cation, cooking experiences, creative art, social studies, physical education, music, computers, Sabbath and Holiday celebrations, beginning Hebrew language, and academic readiness skills for those students ready to accept them. The children also have library time, where they are encouraged to play act, and use their creative imagination. Special programs and activities augment the program. Community helpers are brought into the classrooms relating to units of study. The Nursery division holds an Israel Fair, where each class learns about a particular city in Israel and play acts their adventure to other students. The Holidays play a large part in the Nursery School creating on-going excitement. From blowing the Shofar on Rosh Hashanah, to dressing up as Pilgrims and Indians for a real Pow Wow on Thanksgiving, to becoming wicked Haman or good Queen Esther at Purim, or having their own model Seder for Passover, the flavor and the excite- ment is present throughout the school at every possible celebration. Each Friday, the Nursery School has a Shabbat Assembly, in which each class puts on a program correlating to the events or units of that week and the other classes help by participating in song and dance. An Ima and Abba are selected every week from each class and the children are taught to recite the blessings for the Shabbat candles, the KkJ- dush for the wine and the Hamotze for the challah. Many exciting Cultural Arts programs are brought to the school for the children. They include dances, musicians, clowns, as well as the animal farm. Our goal is to expand the chil- dren's horizons by exposing them to many varied special events. The P.M. enrichment program, coordinated by Mrs. Norma Presley is a fun and learning extension of the day for students whose par- ents wish for them to stay beyond their normal dismissal time. This program is run indepen- dently of the morning classes and usually includes hands on activities and creative play. The children are taught the values that form the basis of the Jewish people in a way they can understand. They learn the importance of tzedakah and sharing. This past Chanukah a group of children brought Chanukah decora- tions to the elderly at Douglas Gardens. The pupils are given a basic foundation of Judaism, while at the same time integrating secular infor- mation so as to allow them to live comfortably and participate fully in the diversity of Amer- ican life. In addition, a Hebrew language teacher comes into the class to familarize the children with the language. The children are taught the fundamental basic Hebrew terms of the classroom, home, one's self, Shabbat and festivals. The Nursery hours are: 8:45 -12:45 HALF DAY PROGRAM 8:45 3:15 FULL DAY (4 year olds) Children seeking admission to the school's 2 year old program must be toilet trained and 2 years old by September 1 st. The Early Childhood Department has invited a group of outside specialists to review its program and assist in applying for National Accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children. The school actively participates in the work- shops sponsored by the Central Agency for Jewish Education and the Jewish Council of Early Educators. Elementary A typical day for the elementary school child consists of a three and one quarter hour gen- eral studies program including math, reading, language arts, science, social studies, health education and physical education. In addition, there are specialists such as art, music, com- puters and library (where books are checked out on a weekly basis). Each class is divided into 3 or 4 reading groups and 2 or 3 math groups, which ensure that each child is work- ing at his or her own level and enables the teacher to give individualized instruction and attention to specific needs. The Judaic pro- gram is comprised of Prayer, Hebrew Lan- guage, literature, history, Bible, customs and ceremonies conducted during the remaining half of the school day. There are several levels within these classrooms as well. Bible stories are learned through the study of text with com- mentary. The history program consists of many parts. The students learn history from the time of the Patriarchs to the Shtetl. The study of modern Israel, Zionism, American Jewish His- tory and the Holocaust is also included. Teachers teach their students how to actively participate in daily, Shabbat and holiday prayer. The students are also taught the mean- ing and background of the various tefillot and services. Every Monday and Thursday the chil- dren come together in the chapel for services which include reading of the weekly Torah por- tion by the 6th graders. Building fluency in the Hebrew language is an important part of the program which results in most classes being taught Ivrit B'lvrit. Bet Shira Solomon Schechter Day School students participate in community and Central Agency sponsored events which include: Yom Ha'atzmaut celebration, City Wide Torah Fair, the General Spelling Bee in which the 6th grade team came in 2nd out of 10 Jewish Day Schools from Dade and Broward County this year. Bet Shira Solomon Schechter Day School students have entered more than 300 projects in the Dade County Youth Fair and have won more awards per capita than any other school in Dade County. In addition, these students are typically found among the win- ners in the Dade County Youth Fair Hebrew Spelling Bee. Many special events throughout the school year are hosted by the school. These include the Around-the-World Fair in which each class presents a program reflecting their studies of Continued on next page * 7 - ?3 Childhood is a kind of Paradise M i LEVENSOHN Elementary continued the history, background, culture and language of a chosen country. Another event is the Israel Fair, in which each class represents a city in Israel and presents various artifacts and infor- mation regarding the city to their fellow students. In addition, for the elementary school, there are the Science, Torah, and Math Fairs, where the students create various displays, projects and games which are displayed for all the stu- dents and parents to view. The annual Student Council Talent Show is another event that is anxiously anticipated. The children are encouraged to display their creative talents at an evening performance which parents and faculty are invited to attend. All the holidays and festivities throughout the year are celebrated at the school. On Purim, the faculty perform a spoof Purim Spiel for the students. The students are encouraged to dress in costume for the occasion and join in on reading of the Megillah. On Passover, the school conducts model seders for all its chil- dren. Bet Shira students are well prepared to conduct the Passover seders in their own homes. A Passover meal is prepared for the entire school by the Parents Teachers Associa- tion. Lag B'Omer is celebrated by having the older students hike to a local park where they participate in various sport activities while the younger pupils have a field day at the school facility. Spirit Week, which is held each spring, is a fun-filled tradition. It includes such activities as creating class cheers, a barbecue presented by the P.T.A., Crazy Hat Day, Topsy Turvy Day, and Bet Shira T-Shirt Day. Senior Day, under the guidance of Mrs. Neimand, allows the 6th graders to prepare lesson plans and conduct classes under the supervision of faculty. The student council is comprised of a repre- sentative from each grade in the elementary school. The officers of the student council are elected through a democratic process of cam- paigning, voting, ballots, and elections. The representatives hold monthly meetings and plan activities and programs for their peers. Each Friday the elementary division at Bet Shira conducts an Erev Shabbat assembly. On a rotating basis, each class presents a pro- gram correlated to the weekly Torah portion or other calendar events. It is an opportunity to join together in spirited song and prayer. The weekly collection of Tzedakah teaches all the children the value of sharing. The members of There is no treasure I ke friends MIVHAR HAPENINIM But Shira offers the children a nutritious ana tasty hot lunch program, which is avail- able to all students for a nominal fee. the Student Council learn about allocating funds as a part of their responsibility. They dis- tribute the monies that are collected to various deserving charities such as Mazon, The Ship A Box Program, The Heart Association, The American Cancer Association, ALYN, the home for the handicapped children in Israel, etc. Each week at the Shabbat Assembly birth- day books are presented to those children whose families have honored their birthdays by donating a book to the library. A Citizen of the Week from each class receives a merit cer- tificate as reward for commendable classwork, exemplary behavior or for being the most improved or most helpful student. Shabbat Dinners are another tradition at Bet Shira. One Friday evening each month the chil- dren of a different grade in the Day School join with their families in an Erev Shabbat Dinner at the Synagogue, which is followed by the chil- dren conducting the Kabbalat Shabbat service for the entire Congregation. Because of the many occasions the children are called upon to perform, they have learned to feel comfortable and confident in front of an audience. Brownies and Girl Scouts meet once a week at the school. They participate in community activities and weekly projects which help them earn merit badges while becoming better citi- zens and having fun at the same time.

LI Martin Fine Chairman Stephen Bittel Vice-Chairman Arnold AUman Vice-Chairman \Chairman 's \message Thank you all for your help and will- ingness to reach out in support of the 1987 Combined Jewish Appeal. One I of the ways you are helping the Cam- paign reach its goal is through the "Give A Day" program. To say that it has been a success to date would be an understatement. Allow me to I share a couple of examples with you. An accountant, who had previously I made a gift, of $1,500 annually, raised his gift to $5,000 because he was asked | personally. A young attorney who just began his ] time to solicit two more people. These two examples highlight the importance of the "Give A Day" pro- gram to the 1987 CJA. Those that have participated feel terrific about their successful involvement. Talk to them. We still need you to join. Many of you who have committed I to give your day still have cards to cover. Don't let them sit in your jacket pocket. Call Federation if you heed more information or a second person to join you on a solicitation. Or I call me, I'm anxious to help you! You all know that in the summer opportunities for the Campaign are minimal. Let's try and reach our goal for the 1987 CJA before the annual meeting on June 16. It's our turn. Let's do it now. Martin Fine Chairman Commerce and Professions Rabbi Azulay 's hard work pays off for CJA Rabbi Shimon Azulay Paytons host dinner party on behalf of the CJA Harry and Lisa Payton hosted a dinner party recently on behalf of the Combined Jewish Appeal which was attended by twelve couples. Half of those present had traveled with the Payton's on a recent mission to Israel, the rest were professional colleagues and friends. During the evening, time was taken to discuss the needs of the Jewish community and how those needs can be met through the Combined Jewish Appeal. Everyone present gave a generous gift to the campaign. If anyone would be interested in hosting a meeting in their home, the way the Payton's did, call Dan Lepow at Federation. It's your turn now. Rabbi Shimon Azulay, director of the Judaic High School Program at the Central Agency for Jewish Education, has been working hard for the 1987 Combined Jewish Appeal, bringing in many new gifts for the campaign. Born in Jerusalem, Azulay studied in the great Yeshivot and was ordained by the Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem. He was a member of the Haganah and later the Lechi Israeli Freedom Fighters (IFF). Azulay was critically wounded in an attempt on his life during one of the IFF's operations in Tel Aviv. In 1947 he moved to Toronto, Canada where he was Director of Camp Masad. It was there that Azulay became involved in Jewish fundraising efforts with the Jewish Welfare Fund, where he devoted his time to the United Israel Appeal. He returned to Israel in 1955 and worked for two years as the educational director of Ramat Hadassah Youth Aliyah. It was 1957 when he arrived in Miami. Rabbi Azulay quickly became involved with the Greater Miami Jewish Federation and became a member of the board of directors. Although he no longer sits on the board he continues to be active with Federation's Combined Jewish Appeal. "As a child, I knew that in my parents home, you didn't sit down and eat without having some poor people at the table. At that time, we didn't have much ourselves but we still shared what we had. This tradition of giving of ourselves to help others is something I have taught my children, who are also active members in the Jewish communities in which they live." It is this sense of giving that has made Rabbi Azulay one of the hardest campaign workers on behalf of the 1987 Combined Jewish Appeal.

Recently, JFTV played a unique role as matchmaker. Two people who appeared on "Pillow Talk," a very popular show hosted by Suzanne Lasky, which deals with life-style issues for Jewish singles, will be tieing the knot. Karen Kaye, a therapist who specializes in the singles area and Allen Wachholder, an accoun- tant both appeared on the show in July, 1984. The topic of that program was "Sexuality in the 80's." Allen was smitten with Karen and although they had one date back then, Karen's feelings were not mutual. In September, 1986, they met again and the timing and the feelings were right for both of them. They will marry in August.

Sponsored by the Religious Leaders Coalition of Greater Miami, Marcia Rudin will appear on Wednesday, April 29 at 10:30 a.m. at the Pastoral Center, Ar- chdiocese of Miami before an audience of religious leaders, educators and counselors, and the interested public. An acknowledged authority on destruc- tive religious cults, Rudin has authored, co-authored and edited a wide variety of books, monographs and scholarly studies on this and other important topics and has lectured widely on the cult phenomenon. Her many television and radio appearances have included, "Donahue," "Larry King Live," "Late Night America," and "The Barry Farber Show," among others; and she has testified as an expert witness in cult cases across the nation. A Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Boston University, Rudin received her joint-masters degree from Columbia University and the Union Theological Seminary. She also studied at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. Among the cooperating sponsor organizations at the event, in addition to CRC, are the Rabbinical Association of Greater Miami, the Metropolitan Fellowship of Churches, the Archdiocese of Miami and the Miami branch of the Na- tional Conference of Christians and Jews. W! ^"W T"e will have the privilege of ~ hearing a truly important authority on the cult phenomenon," said Rabbi David Saltzman, spiritual leader of the Aventura Jewish Center and chairman of the CRC's Committee on Cults and Mis- sionary Groups. "The cult phenomenon has become a matter of serious concern for many of the legitimate religions in the United States and throughout the world," he added. CRC chairman Jeffrey Berkowitz add- ed, "While we affirm the right of free religious expression, we also recognize that there are elements so controversial as to merit our most serious study and at- tention. We are extremely pleased to be one of the sponsoring organizations of this program." Elie Wiesel to speak at governmental seminar The Community Relations Committee (CRC) and the Young Leadership Council (YLC) of Federation held a state legislative forum recently to prepare for the up- coming Annual State Legislative Day in Tallahassee. Pictured, from left (seated) are Rep. Susan Guber, Rep. Betty Metcalf Rep. Michael Friedman, Rep. Elaine Gordon, Senator Given Margolis; standing from left are Jeffrey Berkowitz, chairman of the CRC, Samuel Dubbin, chairman YLC State Legislative Forum, Nan Rich chairwoman CRC Domestic Con- cerns Committee, and Aaron Podhurst, president of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation. The highlight of a special Governmen- tal Seminar sponsored by the Community Relations Committee and the Young Leadership Council of Federation will be a keynote address to a rare joint session, of the two Houses of the Florida legislature by Elie Wiesel, world- renowned chronicler of the Holocaust and 1986 Nobel Prize Winner. The special seminar will be held in Tallahassee on Thursday, May 7. The seminar will also involve briefings by governmental experts, direct exposure to the legislative and other governmental processes, meetings with the legislators and officials of the executive branch among other important activities. "I cannot overstate the importance of the Elie Wiesel appearance before our legislature," said CRC Chairman Jeffrey Berkowitz. "Who can better interpret the broad spectrum of the goals of the Jewish community," he added. CRC and YLC have coordinated this event with the cooperation of community relations committees and federations throughout the state of Florida. The Seminar will occur at the midpoint of the April-May Legislative Session. Additional partners in the ambitious undertaking are the Florida Association of Jewish Federa- tions, the United Ways of Florida and the United Protestant Appeal. An important purpose of the annual Tallahassee event is to fortify members of the legislature with an understanding of the broad range of social services spon- sored by the convening organizations, primarily through a range of service agencies in the various communities that are funded, in part, through the state with funds supplied by the state and federal governments. "The legislative process is of the ut- most importance to the Jewish and general communities in any number of ways," said Jules Arkin, chairman of the Governmental Affairs Committee of the Florida Association of Jewish Federa- tions, an organization comprised of the twelve Federations in the State of Florida. "It is through the legislative pro- cess that many of our agencies receive significant portions of their budgets. We have only recently begun to realize the importance of the legislative process. Much remains to be learned about dealing with state government," he concluded. CRC calls for abrogation of agreement The Community Relations Com- mittee (CRC) of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation has call- ed for abrogation of the Declare-. tion of Agreement" entered into in May of 1986 between the American Bar Association (ABA) and the Association of Soviet Lawyers (ASL). According to the terms of that agreement, the two associa- tions pledged to "promote legal in- itiatives for peace and human rights and to advance the rule of law in the world." The question of calling for the abroga- tion of the agreement has been a matter of intense discussion in the Jewish com- munity and was debated at the recent an- nual meeting of the National Jewish Com- munity Relations Advisory Council (NJCRAC) in Ft. Lauderdale. The issue was brought to the CRC at its February meeting by Hinda Cantor, co-chairman of the South Florida Conference on Soviet Jewry (SFCSJ), an arm of the CRC, and by Michael Tryson, chairman of the SFCSJ Lawyers Committee. It was their strong recommendation, based on months of study and intensive debate, that abrogation be sought at this time. In a unanimous vote the CRC agreed. IB its resolution calling for the abrogation of the agreement, the CRC characterized the ASL as or* of the "more anti-Semitic arms of the Soviet government" and an "instru- ment of repression of Soviet Jews and other human rights activists." It also stated that "instead of advancing the cause of human rights, the ASL has resisted opportunities to do so." The CRC's resolution refers to statements by ABA officials suggesting that concern for Jewish emigration is a "minority concern of Jewish groups" and "Jewish members of the ABA." It also takes note that the ABA has listed as a positive result of the ABA-ASL agree- ment, the Soviet Government's an- nouncement of a new policy dealing with emigration. The CRC resolution stated that the new policy has, in fact, been de- nounced by Soviet Jewry and human rights groups as restricting rather than freeing emigration," and that it violates contradicts and abuses international human rights agreements (including tne Helsinki Accords, Universal Declaration of Human Rights and International ton; vention on Civil and Political Rights). "The new policy," it states, "provides no judicial review, thus making a mockery oi any attempt at due process." CRC Chairman Jeffrey Berkowitz com- mented that although he is aware that there are those who would postpone tne question of calling for abrogation ot tne agreement, in the hope that the new several months may see Pos'1 * developments between the ABA and w ASL, it is his view and the view of the committee that "the time for action is now." "I know of nobody the J**"? community who is happy with either w fact of the agreement or the NMJ Hinda Cantor. "To look to the future <* positive results from the ASL is, indJJ to be involved in an empty hope, ** added. 14 Federation, April 1987 YLC 'Purim Blast YLC to hold 'Shalom Brunch' The YLC "Shalom Brunch" is designed to introduce newcomers to the Greater Miami Jewish Federation and the Young Leadership Council.

Miami Jewish Home opens Alzheimer's hot-line While there is no known cure for Alzheimer's Disease, there is hope and there is help; the Alzheimer's CARE LINE, a new service of the Miami Jewish Home and Hospital for the Aged at Douglas Gardens. 576-5533 is a direct link to the entire network of Alzheimer's services offered by MJHHA as well as other agencies in the community. Staffed by senior case managers Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., the CARE Line also provides information 24 hours a day through an emergency beeper system. "Often, family members or even elder care professionals do not know the kinds of services that are available and which of those services would be most appropriate for a loved one or client," explained Associate Executive Director EUiot Stern. "The Alzheimer's CARE LINE Puts people in touch with exactly the kind m help they need, and that is a tremen- dous service, particularly in times of stress or crisis." At the present time, the Miami Jewish nome operates a wide range of inpatient and community programs for Alzheimer's suiterers and their families. By the end of W calendar year, even more services will be available. Two recently opened programs special- J designed for Alzheimer's patients are M9 Tnenick Respite Center at 1733 NE 22?

Mr. Schlesinger has published extensively in many leading periodicals and is co-author of "New York Probate," published by Lawyers Cooperative Publishing Company. The two Foundations are fortunate to have a joint Seminar Committee co- chaired by Florence B. Hecht and Evelyn Stieber, and supported by Ellie Ganz, Esther Gordon, Joan Gross, and Gert Kartzmer, all longtime champions of educating women in the financial arena. Norma Kipnis Wilson, a director of the Foundation Board of Trustees, will also be a featured speaker at this event. Mount Sinai Medical Center works with observant Jews Fred Katz, vice president of JVS; Rachel Tannenbaum, JVS associate executive director; Isadore Siegel, coordinator of the Meals on Wheels Program; and Steven Weisberg, project director, JVS Nutri- tional Project. The Jewish Vocational Service (JVS) recently sponsored a party to thank volunteers from the B'nai B'rith Meals on Wheels Program at Aventura who deliver meals to homebound elderly residents on Miami Beach. Each volunteer driver received a Cer- tificate of Appreciation from JVS. In ad- dition, Isadore Siegel, who volunteers his time to coordinate the program, was awarded a special plaque. The function was held at Aventura Jewish Center. i The Jewish Vocational Service is a beneficiary of the Combined Jewish Ap- peal. Greater Miami Jewish Federation and the Jewish Vocational Service . Partners in a caring community. Before you can be admitted to a hospital, you have to sign a number of special forms designated to keep patients' records in order. For most people, this is a simple task and they just sign away. But for observant members of the Jewish community, it's not that easy. These forms can cause quite a problem. According to the Jewish religion, obser- vant Jews cannot write or sign any tran- sactions on the Sabbath (sundown Friday to sundown Saturday) or on Jewish holidays. So, what happens to an obser- vant Jew who must be admitted to the hospital for immediate medical attention, but refuses to sign the forms? Will he be turned away for failure to comply with hospital rules? Not at Mount Sinai Medical Center. The Medical Center has long been admitting observant members of the Jewish com- munity on the Sabbath and religous holidays without requiring them to sign hospital admittance forms. Recently, Mount Sinai made this practice official by incorporating a special clause in its hospital policy. L L k 11 that is required of the pa- f\ tient when being admitted is , JL. an oral agreement that the patient will sign the re- quired forms at another time during his hospital stay," said Fred D. Hirt, Mount Sinai's president and chief executive of- ficer. "A financial representative, respon- sible for the patient's account, will follow- up after the Sabbath and make sure that all of the necessary forms are signed. "This is a much needed service for the observant members of the Jewish com- munity," said Rabbi Solomon Schiff, director of chaplaincy for Mount Sinai and the Greater Miami Jewish Federa- tion. "This allows observant Jews to take care of their medical emergency needs on these specific days, while alleviating the anxieties faced by these patients if they must be admitted to the hospital on Shah bat or a religious holiday. This policy also helps them deal with the conflict of their medical needs and desecrating their religious duties." "Mount Sinai has made a commitment to the observant members of the Jewish community," said Hirt. Last year, the Medical Center instituted a Shabbat elevator, which is programmed to automatically stop on each floor during the Sabbath and on religious holidays. This allows the observant Jewish visitor to use the elevators without actually ac- tivating the electrical circuits, which is against his or her religious beliefs.
