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

'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

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
flash point for nuclear war will be

Demjanjuk 3-Judge Panel
Refuses To Disqualify Self
By HUGH ORGEL
JERUSALEM (JTA) -
The trial of suspected war
criminal John Demjanjuk
was marked by rancor bet-
ween the defense counsel
and the three-judge bench
last week as a West German
jurist took the witness stand
to give testimony about a
key document in the case.

torney, Mark O'Connor, and his

lowered through the combination
of religiously-based conflict with
the means for mass destruction."
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.).

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.

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."

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

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.

Deeper Understanding
Leaders Have Heard Israel's Motives in Spy Case
Friday, April 3, 1987/The Jewish Floridian Page 3-A

By MARGIE OLSTER
JERUSALEM (JTA) -
American Jewish leaders
who came here two weeks
ago to warn the leaders of
Israel that their handling of
the Jonathan Pollard spy
case was not being well
received in the U.S., have
left for home saying they
had gained a deeper
understanding of Israel's ac-
tions and motives.
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,

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. Coetzee, the distinguished
South African writer, has been

'The Freedom of the Individual

'for his staunch opposition to

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

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.

Visionary, Dead At 90, Was Man of Immense Stature
By SIMON GRIVER
Meir Ya'ari, who died in
February at age 90, was a
Zionist visionary of im-
mense stature and in-
fluence. 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.

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

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

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.

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.

Sella Quits Valued Post
To Help Ease His Country
Friday, April 3, 1987/The Jewish Floridian Page 7-A
JERUSALEM Col.
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,

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."

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. Ending a role ... is a
profound sorrow for me, yet I
have reached the conclusion that I
owe it to the causes for which I
have fought, and for which I shall
continue to fight together with my
colleagues in the Air Force."

Reward Soviets for Emigration
Reforms, Sharansky Declares

By GIL SEDAN
JERUSALEM (JTA) -
Natan Sharansky proposed
that the West offer the
Soviet Union quid pro quo
for easing emigration
restrictions for Soviet Jews.
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.

town's sole synagogue,
urned himself in to police

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

Police were premature in ruling

Badessa is a former landscape

Jewish Role

Mre Wednesday (March 25)
nat his government plans

Spanish Jews to the

circulated that the president of
the B'nai Jacob Synagogue in
nearby Dover, Mass., received
threats that his shul also would be
destroyed by fire. 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.

Reality of Apartheid
Struck New Rabbi After Midnight
JTA/WZN News Photo
Former Prisoner of Zion Zachar Zunshine and his wife, Ta-
tiania, are shown at Jerusalem's Western Wall. 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.

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."
"There are seven command-

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.

Barking Dogs At 1 a.m. Woke Rabbi to Apartheid
Friday, April 3, 1987/The Jewish Floridian Page 11-A
ontinued from Preceding Page
.They (South African Jews) are
here because they're there.
Very few Jews in apartheid
outh Africa today chose to live
Ire Most of them are children
. erandchildren of refugees born
nd bred there. And so they share
he dilemma of the white liberal in

FURTHER, Bernhard said, m
iouth Africa there have been a
,umber of Jews involved in pro-
est and demonstration. There
u-e proportionately more anti-
partheid Jews in South Africa
ow than there were in America
the heyday of American Jewish
Lolvement in the cause of
,merican blacks.
I know that the South African
iw is very troubled by the entire
ituation of racial injustice and in*
quitv that take place in South
Sea. He is very troubled by the
tiustice and the inequity and
jels additionally troubled when
i feels that Jews are actively or
en just passively a part of it."
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

denied political rights there is
anger. 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. They consider
themselves a chosen people, of br-

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."
For the first time in the history of the State of Connecticut, a rab-
bi has been appointed to serve as a member of the prestigious
seven-person State Ethics Commission which administers the
code of ethics for all public officials, state employees and their
families, candidates for public office, and lobbyists at the state

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.

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."

Milo said that the decision to deport the New York rabbi was

srael Points Finger At De Cuellar
As Custodian of Access to Files
By YITZHAK RABI
UNITED NATIONS -
TA) Israel has contend-
1 here that "the decision
id responsibility" regar-
ng the granting of free
iblic access to the UN files
I Nazi war criminals lies
ith Secretary General
vier Perez de Cuellar.
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."

I've written about the kinds of things
that are important to Jewish families.
Traditions, Kosher Diets, High Holidays,
Seder and much more. My booklet is
packed with information about selecting
a nursing home.
I make sure that Jewish holidays

We respect the personal traditions of our families, therefore,
we take special notice of individual requirements that go
beyond the normal medical care expected of a skilled-nursing

money and move up.
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. A team named the 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. When I went to

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.
THE MEETING was prompted
|>y press reports in this country of
h popular Japanese author,
Masami Uno, who claims that his
country's recent economic woes
pre due to a conspiracy by "inter-
national Jewish capital" and that
Jewish-dominated interests have

Japan."

Chrysler and AT and T.
Other books and articles that
have recently appeared in
bookstores include titles like "The

World." "How to Head the Hid

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

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

that the number of Jews killed in

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

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."

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."

In Florida
Do We Need An Official 'English Only' Movement?
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

ticipate in the 19th International
Student Sport Games, April

University.

of a Polish team in the tourna-

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

Opera star Robert Merrill
wanted to be a baseball
player, but his mother
quickly discouraged that
youthful dream and instead
brought him to a voice
teacher.
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

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.

grams offered by the Greater
Miami Jewish Federation's Israel
Program's Office can be obtained

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.

Around 380 guests turned out for the first
Miami tribute to the Los Angeles-based Simon
Wiesenthal Center. 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.

Grottei said. She said that her

said.

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

Baking Soda. Certified Kosher for Passover, ARM &

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.

Dear Nomi.
My rabbi says the Torah die
tates that women should wear
skirts or dresses that cover the
knee even when seated and shirts
that cover the elbows. According
to his interpretation of Torah dic-
tates. I can never again wear a
bathing suit when there are men
present and I can not wear pants
even when mountain climbing. I
respect my rabbi and can see some
advantages to the concept of
modesty, but I just. gulp, can't see
discarding my wardrobe of pants.

romance after 50?
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! K l*

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.

"rtv Teller was a guidance
Kelor at the old Beach High.
Uich was then located at what is
now Ida Fisher. 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. Margaret. Bet-
ty and Ann; coach Harold Lan-
nom, whu is now principal of
Miami Edison; former principal
lain Katz and school nurse Lois
Clark Alls worth.
Reunion committee member
Harold Cobb said that at least 200
members of the class have already
made reservations for the dinner

beginning of strong feelings about
sisterhood.
Carole Wien Porter remembers,

IT WAS an excellent school,"
said Bussel, who was teaching
specially handicapped students
until she recently retired to pur-
sue various business investments.
"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-

their ups and downs.

$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.

a mixed-media art exhibit at the
Miami Jewish Home and Hospital

"When the Next Generation
dedicated the Grand Salon of the

large," explained Next Genera-
tion President Nancy Ranch.
"This is the first of many special
events we plan to hold in our new
Home." The Next Generation is a
support group of up-and-coming
business and professional people,
each of whom has pledged $10,000
over the next 10 years toward the
capital expansion of the Miami
Jewish Home.
The exhibit, mounted by the
Moosart Gallery and Gallery 99,
offers melange of sculpture, pain-
tings and drawings.
The show will run from 8 a.m. to
7 p.m. through April 28 in the May

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.
(The recounting of the Weekly Portion of the Law is extracted and based
upon "The Graphic History of the Jewish Heritage," edited by P. Wollman-
Tsamir, $15, published by Shengold. The volume is available at 75 Maiden
Lane, New York, N.Y. 10038. Joseph Schlang is president of the society
distributing the volume.)

'Shalom Jerusalem
The City of Gold comes to Miami'
1987 marks not only the 39th an-
niversary of Israel's rebirth, but
significantly, it is also the 20th an-
niversary of the reunification of
Jerusalem in 1967. Accordingly,
the county-wide celebration that
will take place at Miami-Dade
Community College New World
(Wolfson) Campus in downtown
Miami on Sunday, May 17, is call-
ed, "Shalom Jerusalem the City
of Gold Comes to Miami."
Greater Miami Jewish Federa-
tion board member, Norman
Lieberman, who is chairing the
"Shalom Jerusalem" organizing
committee is predicting a joyous
celebration. "Let's face it," he
says, 'there are very few occasions
when the Jewish community of
Dade County can come together at
one location and have a thoroughly
good time. I promise that this will
be a family-oriented, fun filled ex-
perience. Mark your calendars."

Jerusalem" call event coordinator

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

Constituent boards
take active role in
CJA
The highlight of the 1987 campaign
year was the "Queen of Hearts Banquet"
boasting a 64 percent increase in gifts to
the Combined Jewish Appeal.
"Working with the area campaign
chairwomen has enabled me to grow,"
said Gail Newman. Women's Division
Campaign chairwoman. "Each person
has brought to their position their own
personal sense of value and this has
helped the Women's Division grow; mak-
ing it a strong asset to Federation's cam-
paign effort.
"The area constituent boards have been
the backbone of the Women's Division."
said Dorothy Podhurst. the Division's
president. "It has enhanced my term in
office, working with so many talented in-
dividuals." she added.
Miami Beach
On Miami Beach, the Area Board has
held many informative board meetings
throughout the year. The women on the
Beach have discussed and learned about
many different issues of a political and
religious nature, as well as matters of
particular concern to our local
community.
The final Miami Beach board meeting
for the year is scheduled for Wednesday.
April 29 at the home of chairwoman
Meryle Loring. The meeting will be a lun-
cheon, to thank the Beach's Area Board
members for all of their efforts. "It has
been a delight and an honor working with
the women of the Miami Beach Board to
help Jews in need. I am hopeful that more
women will find this a fulfilling ex-
perience and join us to support the Com-
bined Jewish Appeal." said Loring.
North Dade
Debbie Edelman. North Dade Area
chairwoman for the past two years,
hosted a meeting at her home on Thurs-
day, April 2. for her board. The meeting
featured an image and wardrobe consul-
tant from "Color Me Beautiful" and a
discussion on skin conditioning by Dr.
Dorothy Koreman.
"I have enjoyed serving as North Dade
Area chairwoman. My tenure has afford-
ed me the opportunity to meet new people
and to help educate the women in my area
as well as myself." said Edelman. "The
work of the North Dade Board members
has made our contribution to the CJA
quite successful," she added.
South Dade
Micki Hochberg, South Dade Area
chairwoman announced. "At a time when
volunteensm across the nation is low, the
volunteer spirit in the South Dade Board
is at an all time high!" The South Dade
Board recently held a meeting featuring
Father Dennison of St. Augustine and the
University of Miami Catholic Student
Center. The past meetings have featured
programs and discussions on issues con-
cerning politics, religion and updates on
community concerns. The final meeting
for the 1987 campaign year will be held on
Thursday, May 14. At that time, the in-
coming officers and new board members
will be introduced.
Southwest Dade
In Southwest Dade, under the leader-
ship of chairwoman Judy Adler. they have
made record breaking success in their ef-
forts for the Combined Jewish Appeal.
"The women on the Southwest Dade
Board are a strong part of the future of
the Women's Division." said Adler.
The "Generation to Generation Annual
Luncheon" recently held by the Board
was attended by over 170 Women, who
raised 24 pecent more this year than at
the previous year's event. The Southwest
Dade Board has tripled in size and the

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.

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.

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

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

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.

\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
] \to $600 and agreed to volunteer 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.

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.

Matchmaker,
matchmaker on
JFTV. .
Well sort of .
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.

Cult authority to speak at interfaith seminar
Marcia Rudin
In a program initiated by Federa-
tion's Community Relations Com-
mittee through its Committee on
Cults and Missionary Groups,
religious leaders of South Florida will
soon host one of the world's leading
authorities on the cult phenomenon.
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.

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

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.
