By JUDITH COLP WASHINGTON (JTA) - Opposition to the nomination of Judge Robert Bork to the Supreme Court is mounting in the Jewish community. The Jewish War Veterans last week become the fifth Jewish organization to voice its protest. "Contrary to the Ad- ministration rhetoric surroun- ding Bork's nomination, the issue is one of ideology and the Supreme Court is not well- served by extremist posi- tions," said the statement issued by Edwin Goldwasser, the group's national commander. The statement by the Jewish War Veterans, a mainstream organization, suggests the ex- tent to which Bork's nomina- tion is meeting opposition in the Jewish community.

This is the opinion of Florida's Sen. Lawton Chiles (D.), a primary sponsor of the 1987 Anti-Terrorism Act to which six additional Senators added their support by the end of July. Other signatories include Sena. Bob Graham (D.. Fla.). Frank Lautenberg (D., N.J.), Howard Metzenbaum CD., Ohio), Robert Dole (R.. Kan- sas), Charles Grassley (R., Iowa) and Rudy Boschwitz (R., Minn.). THE LEGISLATION, m hich has also been filed in the Mouse of Representatives, Sen. Lawton Chiles makes it unlawful for the PLO to maintain an office anywhere in the United States or for anyone in the U.S. to receive or spend PLO funds. "Since its inception 23 years ago, the PLO continues to be the major force in interna- tional terrorism," Chiles explained. One of the PLO's most re- cent atrocities. Chiles noted, was the brutal murder of I.eon Klinghoffer, a wheelchair- hound passenger aboard the Achille Lauro. Chiles added that the PLO reelected Kl- inghoffer's murderer, Abu Ab- has. to a leadership position on the PLO's 20-man Executive Committee at the recent Algiers Palestine National Council meeting.

I I M i V " ] )( I ) AP/Wide World Photo WAR TALK: Former Israeli Defense Minister Ariel Sharon uses a pointer as he explains the 1982 war in Lebanon during a lecture calling it a soul-wrenching experience. Behind Sharon are two at Tel Aviv University. Sharon broke a lengthy silence about the maps of Lebanon with arrows marking the Israeli Army's inva- controversial war last week, insisting it was a success, while also sion route. Sharon's Defense: Cabinet, on Daily Basis, Directed Lebanon War By HUGH ORGEL TEL AVIV (JTA) The Lebanon war was a "great suc- cess ... a war of salvation . the most carefully pre-planned and implemented war in Israel's history." Moreover, it was directed on a daily basis by the Cabinet, which was fully privy to every move made, Ariel Sharon declared in a prepared four-hour address to a VIP audience at Tel Aviv University Tuesday night (Aug. 11). Sharon's speech, in which he quoted extensively from the minutes of Cabinet and military staff meetings and briefings of senior army of- ficers, was intended to "tell the truth and clear my name." But it has been followed by the reopening of the Lebanon war debate, with renewed sharp at- tacks on Sharon and his veracity.

Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies, which sponsored the meeting, said that Sharon had come under fierce attack dur- ing a JCSS a symposium on the Lebanon war two months ago, "and we thought it only proper to invite him now to present his case." But JCSS sources said that Sharon himself had decided to break his five-year virtual silence and had insisted on his right to appear, requesting the widest possible press coverage. Observers suggested that Sharon might now want to present his case in view of possible early Knesset elec- tions and his possible bid to head the Likud. Sharon, who entered the campus via a side gate to avoid a crowd of anti-Sharon demonstrators, said that the plans to attack Beirut had been prepared years before the 1982 start of the war (wen Ezer Weizman was Defense Minister) in what had been code-named "Operation Oranim." HE INSISTED that the Cabinet, in 92 sessions (some twice a day), had been briefed on every new move made by the Israel Defense Force. Many critics, including former Cabinet ministers, have claim- ed that the government had been misled by Sharon, then Defense Minister, who had reported many of his moves only after they had been implemented. Opening his lengthy address, which left no time for the many critical questions ex- pected from people intimately connected with the war, Sharon said: "I did not come here to respond to various charges. I have come to state the truth, to tell things as they were, for the first time, on the fifth anniversary of the expul- sion of the PLO terrorists from Beirut." He said the PLO expulsion had been the "high point and major objective of the war." Sharon said the war was a "war of salvation, and I am proud to have been one of its organizers, a war against our main enemy the Palestinian terrorism that has been fighting us for 100 years." Perspiring heavily in a hot auditorium, Sharon went into minute details of some moves during the fighting, with a minute-by-minute report of what he had said during various meetings and what he claimed had been said to him. FORMER CHIEF of Staff Mordechai Gur said im- mediately after Sharon's ad- dress that his lecture had been "full of lies and half-truths." Weizman, who Sharon said had prepared a plan for the in- vasion of Beirut, said: "Sharon is famous for his inaccuracy." Weizman said Sharon had possibly laid himself open to criminal prosecution for hav- ing read in public parts of the minutes of Cabinet and general staff sessions. But Rafael Eitan, Chief of Staff during the war, said last Wednesday he had checked the minutes referred to by Sharon and had a different version. Observers commented Wednesday morning that Sharon had appeared intent on spreading the blame for the Lebanon war as widely as possible and ensuring that none of the decision-makers at that time could claim they did not know what was going on. YET, Arye Naor, the Cabinet Secretary at the time, said Sharon had overlooked the fact that at the Cabinet meeting on the eve of the war, from whose minutes Sharon quoted, the Cabinet had ratified an invasion of only 40 kilometers inside Lebanon. Naor said the former Defense Minister had made "selected use" of what he claimed were stenographic records of Cabinet and staff meetings and conferences with senior army officers to strengthen the claims he has frequently made that the Cabinet agreed with his "defense conception," on which the war had been based. "That is incorrect," Naor said. "The Cabinet never discussed his conception (ousting the PLO from Lebanon and setting up a pro- Israel Maronite Christian Continued on Page 16-A Israel Must Reckon With Lavi Feelings Continued from Page 1-A framework. That dec would be "impossible to imple- ment There simply will not be the money," he said. Such a decision would mean "the kind of cutbacks in the IDF's strength, including that of the Air Force, that 1 doubt whether there would be any need for a Lavi in the Air Force any more ..." RABIN APPEARED to im- ply that he would feel forced to resign if the Cabinet took this course, though he did not say so specifically. He said the budgetary short- fall was around $220* million and the state not the already truncated defense budget must provide it if the Lavi project was to continue. Rabin indicated that he did Dot realistically see any possibility of this sum in fact being pro- vided by higher taxation or further cuts in other (non- defense) government spending. Meanwhile, the Knesset's prime committee, the joint panel of the Foreign Affairs and Finance Committees, has decided not to reopen its debate on the Lavi until after the Cabinet has made its deci- sion. The decision came from Finance Committee Chairman Avraham Shapira (Aguda Yisrael), despite pressure from Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Abba Eban (Labor) to reopen the debate and call for a new vote. In a previous vote, a large majority of the joint commit- tees 22 to 6 supported the Lavi. It was this, in the view of many observers, that pro- mpted the U.S. State Depart ment to go public with its for- thright opposition to the warplane project.

Frank Dimant, executive vice president of B'nai B'rith Canada, said in a statement here that it is time to end "the great Canadian cover-up" of Nazi war criminals, and let the public know what was done to find and prosecute suspected Nazis. Trudeau has been accused by Alti Rodal, author of a semi- secret report on Canada's immigration policy, that he privately vetoed taking legal action against suspected Nazi war criminals in Canada. ISRAEL'S IRAN ROLE MINIMIZED WASHINGTON A former consultant to the National Security Council who first explored the possibility of making contact with Iranian officials that eventually led to the nation- wide scandal, said Friday that Iran initiated the proposal to buy arms from the United States. Michael Ledeen. speaking before the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think-tank, greatly downplayed Israel's role in the Iran arms sales. He said the Israel government was deeply divid- ed over the advisability of selling arms, and simply served as a conduit for the U.S. "Israel did, as far as I know, what we asked them to do. Israel had no leverage over the United States in this matter. It's hard to imagine that they could have any. Iran is a serious geopolitical issue for us (the U.S.), and would be a serious issue for us with or without Israel," said Ledeen, who testified closed- door before the Senate-House committees investigating the Iran/Contra affair. CONTROVERSIAL PLAY ABOUT HOLOCAUST LONDON A public reading of the controversial Holocaust play, "Perdition," was given Monday in Edinburgh, Scotland. British playwright Jim Allen's work caused a widely reported controversy in January, when it was pulled from per- formance at the Royal Court Theatre here two days before its premiere. It also has been rejected by other theaters here, in Dublin, Edinburgh and Manchester. Leading historians slammed it as a travesty of the truth and a malicious piece of anti-Zionist propaganda like that peddled for many years by the Soviet Union. The author has dismissed most of the criticisms, and blames the controversy on the power of the Zionist "establishment." The play bases its allegation of Zionist-Nazi collaboration on an idiosyncratic interpretation of desperate attempts by Jewish leaders to "buy" lives in Hungary in exchange for trucks and other material needed by the Germans. FOUR JDL PLEAD GUILTY TO CHARGES NEW YORK Three Jewish Defense League leaders who pleaded guilty last Thursday (Aug. 13) to federal charges in con- nection with terrorist bombings face up to 20 years' imprison- ment and $25,000 in fines. The three, all New Yorkers, are Victor Vancier, who said he resigned as JDL national chairman in November, and Jay Cohen and Murray Young, JDL board members. They are free on $1 million bond each. A fourth defendant, Sharon Katz of New York, could spend three years in prison and pay a $5,000 fine after pleading guilty to carrying a teargas bomb into a Sept. 2 performance at Lincoln Center here of a Soviet troupe, the Moiseyev Dance Company. Four thousand spectators were evacuated, and 20 were injured. She is free on $100,000 bond. The other three admitted responsiblity for at least five other bombings over the past three years and a scam to divert to JDL money raised ostensibly on behalf of New York Gov. Mario Cuomo. Rudolf Hess, Former Hitler Deputy, Dead in Spandau, 93 BONN (JTA) Rudolf Hess, Hitler's former deputy, died Monday in a British Military Hospital in West Berlin. The 93-year-old Hess was the sole remaining prisoner in Spandau Prison there. HE PARACHUTED into Scotland in 1941 and was captured. His reasons for the jump have remained a mystery. He was convicted and sentenced to life imprison- ment at the Nuremberg war crimes trials in 1947. Last year, Chancellor Helmut Kohl sent a personal pledge to the leaders of the Big Four wartime powers to pardon Hess, who had been hospitalized. Kohl's bid to "mercifully release the prisoner into the bosom of his fami- ly" met with criticism by many, including the head of Poland's Commission for the Investigation of Nazi Crimes. However, Kohl's plea was an echo of many letters and rallies in West Germany over the years calling for Hess' release.

August 21, 1987 The Wooden Horse Of Jerusalem Special U.S. Envoy Charles Hill's trip to Jerusalem to meet, among others, with Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, reminds us of the poet Homer in his Iliad. In the poem, Homer has Laocoon warn the Trojans not to bring a great wooden horse, which seemingly appeared out of nowhere, into the walls of Troy. But it was the Greeks themselves, the enemies of Troy, who dragged the horse to the foot of the walls, having secretly fabricated it and filled it with invading Greek troops to begin with. To counter Laocoon's suspicious warning against this blandishment and to "beware of Greeks bearing gifts," the Greeks lied, declaring that thv wooden horse was merely an effigy of the Palladium, a statue of Pallas Athena, on whose safety the preservation of Troy depended. Of course, Laocoon's warning was ignored and he was promptly attacked by sea serpents who "proved" that he was wrong. The Greek in- vasion was a success, and Troy subsequently succumbed. The U.S. Agenda These days, what Israel must do is to beware of American envoys bearing gifts. But this may be mere tragic hindsight. Increasingly, it is clear that Israel is already sorely afflicted by too many American gifts. Hill came to Jerusalem last week with two items on his agenda. One was the apparently hapless fate of the Lavi jet-fighter, which the United States helped fund and which the Reagan Administration now wants to scrap on the pretext that it would be too expensive to produce. That it would also give Israel the wherewithal technologically to resist future Arab aggression effectively, even if the United States and other of Israel's "allies" were to cut off military aid to the Israelis, as was done in the 1972 war, seems almost beside the point to the Reaganites these days. The other item on Hill's agenda was the Ad- ministration's growing impatience with Israel's failure to accept the current sentiment in Washington that, one way or another, a Middle East peace conference must soon be scheduled, and that the conference, reluctantly or not, will include all permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, even the Soviet Union, some of whom don't even have formal diplomatic relations with Israel. Not to mention representatives of the Palestine Liberation Organization. Too Much Help Envoy Hill's job was to drag the Reagan Ad- ministration's wooden horse, filled with all man- ner of anti-Israel enemies, including some in the very ranks of the State Department and the Ad- ministration itself, smack into the center of Jerusalem, past the walls of the city and the op- tion Israel still has to fend for itself so far as its future safety is concerned. Israel is not ancient Greece in many ways. But there is a good argument to be made by some observers that Israel's reliance upon the United States as a nation whose principles would never compel it to force Israel into accepting decisions that are obviously detrimental to its safety and, indeed, preservation, is profoundly misplaced. That is precisely what Hill was in Jerusalem for last week. Though he insisted otherwise, Hill was there to force the Israelis to accept his agen- da for them. And there is growing evidence that, having suckled too long at the generous bosom of American foreign assistance, Israel is now too weakened to resist Homer's wooden horse, however much it may recognize that ancient Laocoon was after all right about gifts from strangers. Hess Death Ends Era At age 93, Rudolf Hess is dead, having passed away at Spandau Prison near Bonn in West Ger- many on Monday. Now, the world will never know and will only be able to speculate on the reasons behind his parachuting into Scotland in 1941 after Hess' unflagging devotion to his Fuehrer, Adolf Hitler. History suf ts otherwise, but that is all it can do. It cari not state categorically that Hess' flight to Scotland was Hitler's bid to end the war PU6H-PUUL 1%1?SM>1 iJTA with the British and to establish an alliance with them in the cause of an all-out campaign to destroy the Soviet Union. We do know that Hitler was frank in his ad- miration of the British and believed, up until the very moment of the declaration of the war against him, that England would never fight against him. Except for leaders like Winston Churchill, he saw and was drawn by a "racial" tie that in his view bound the two countries together and that he thought the British felt too. Did Hess find all this nonsense? And was his flight a bungled effort to abandon Hitler to his lunatic visions of world domination? Facts suggest that Hess was as delusional as Hitler himself on this score and that Hess went to Scotland on behalf of Hitler's plan for the British-German campaign against the Soviets. Because it didn't work, as prearranged between them, Hitler branded Hess a traitor to obscure his real intentions. All of this is so star-crossed that it hardly deserves excessive speculation other than it's tragic coda. It was the Soviets, the enemy that Hitler and Hess apparently thought the British would join the Nazis in defeating, who to the bit- ter end refused what West Germany's Chancellor Helmut Kohl called a "merciful release (of) the prisoner into the bosom of his family." Hess died in Spandau alone. The last Nazis in- carcerated there. Albert Speer and Baldur von Shirach, had long since been freed decades before. Labels They Make for Painful Ambiguities By JIM SHIPLEY It is getting increasingly dif- ficult to label things, isn't it? "Left," "Right," "Conser- vative," "Liberal" they just don't work like they used to. Either it is time to reevaluate labels or better yet, give them up completely. Jews have always been iden- tified with "Liberal" causes. Ergo, Jews are to the "Left." most Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe had socialist leanings. They came as op- pressed workers from a feudal system. As the American system worked its wonders, children of the socialists became Roosevelt Democrats, and their sons became Republicans (well, some of them did). ISRAEL WAS once the darling of the "Liberal Left." No more. As Israel asserted its right to existence, as it refused to be a victim, the "Left" sud- denly found much wrong with the Jewish State including the phalanx of Jews who still are to be found in the leader- ship of organizations still pro- ud to be labeled "Left- Liberal." Those of which I speak are those who have espoused the most radical of social changes for the United States and for the world. More revolutionary than evolutionary, this small, vocal group has found a home in organizations like Students for a Democratic Society and their outcroppings. In the tumultous days of the 1960's, dissent was a vouge and needed in our society. But this group took the opportuni- ty, the war, the confusion to further their plans which would transform America into a socialist state at best, one of complete anarchy at worst. THE LEADERS of these groups, overwhelmingly Jewish, have always expressed a hatred of Israel as a Jewish homeland. They have found in Israel an ideal target for their rhetoric and espousal of radical ideas. They ally themselves with outspoken enemies of Israel, including the PLO. Perhaps the most blatant of these organizations is the one called the New Jewish Agen- da. This one is dangerous. It is my belief that self-hatred is self-destructive. Self-hatred among Jews is dangerous to more than the individual ex- periencing this sad, negative approach to life. Like a bomber whose weapon blows up in a crowded room, many innocents are taken down along with the perpetrator. To find Jews arguing the legitimacy of Israel in 1987 is ludicrous. Labels. In the mid-'40's. when the debate on the viabili- ty of a Jewish State was at its peak, there was a conservative group of Jews known as the Council for Judaism. They were virulent anti-Zionists. ALLIED WITH the ultra religious, with whom they had nothing else in common, this group of mostly wealthy, Ger- man Jews lobbied hard against the creation of the State. But, despite the religious, the Coun- cil and 80 million Arabs, Israel became a reality. Labels. Here it is 40 years later, and the cudgel of the right (rejected immediately after the creation) is taken up by the radical left. The New Jewish Agenda stands for peace and justice, it says.

MAGIDA 1'i'pynqht Hiiilinmri Jrunnh Time* All PuUieation Ki-iht* Km rmd Twice a day, Jacob Tannen- haum faithfully walked the 20 minutes from his home in Brooklyn's Brighton Beach to the minyan at Temple Beth El. In the morning around 6:30 a.m., and again just before sundown. Tannenbaum would leave his small, beige bungalow, shuffle down Lawn Court the unpaved. one- Nock long street he lived on reach the corner and head south toward his temple. The minyan counted on him. He was its gabai, the con- gregant responsible for the mi- nyan. He unlocked the synagogue in the morning and decided who would read the Torah. He often opened the parochet, the curtain at the ark that protects the Torah. Three years ago, in fact, Tannen- baum had presented that same curtain to the congregation in honor of his parents, five sisters, wife and six-month-old daughter killed by the Nazis. When the temple's rabbi, Leonard Goldstein, was asked last year to choose a few members of the congregation to light memorial candles at a ceremony at nearby Holocaust Memorial Mall, he immediately thought of Tannenbaum. JACOB TANNENBAUM no longer attends the minyan at Beth El. Chances are he never will. The U.S. Justice Department is trying to deport Tannenbaum. charging that his U.S. citizenship should be revoked because he persecuted prisoners at Goerlitz, a Nazi forced-labor camp 55 miles east of Dresden. Survivors of Goerlitz claim that as the camp's chief kapo, or overseer, Tannenbaum kill- ed, beat and crippled many in- mates, all of whom were Jews. These actions, they say, in- variably occurred in the absence of Nazi SS guards, who most former kapos con- tend forced them to commit their atrocities. Survivors of Goerlitz have been located who say Tannen- baum fatally beat their brothers, fathers and other in- mates. One survivor said Tan- nenbaum ordered 300 Jews in February. 1945 to board trucks bound to the death camp of Gross Rosen. Others said Tannenbaum habitually beat prisoners with a rubber hose, an iron pipe or his bare fists. THE TANNENBAUM case is perhaps the most sensitive to emerge from the Office of Special Investigations (OSI), the Justice Department's eight-year-old Nazi-hunting unit. Never before has OSI ac- cused a Jew kapo or not of participating in Nazi- inspired crimes. And never before has it charged a kapo with excessive violence. That a kapo was-, violent was a given. Violence was inherent in the task for which he had been recruited. Kapos were surrogates of the Nazis. They were ordered to beat and pummel inmates, to starve and humiliate them. The Tannenbaum case rests on whether he performed these tasks perfunctorily enough to satisfy the SS or whether he did them with relish and aban- don and. most important, on his own, without urging by the Nazis. In effect, the case takes OSI into a nether world, one where morality was almost moot, and the persecuted could be as in- human as the persecutors. And since one Goerlitz survivor, Leon Zelig, said, "I was more afraid of Tannenbaum than of the SS," the case may even take the OSI into a realm where the brutality of Jewish kapos exceeded that of the SS. "WHEN DEALING with mreiti TM > 1987 David S Bowman and Mark Saundars Alt rignia rasarvad kapos, you need an extra level of analysis," said Allan Rvan, OSI's head from 1980 to 1984. "Some kapos beat inmates to protect them from worse beatings from the SS. Others were as brutal and as savage as the SS. I told my staff we would prosecute them the same as we would prosecute an SS member." "It is impossible to equate a kapo and an SS member," retorted Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles. "The SS volunteered for their jobs and enthusiastically endorsed the policies of Adolf Hitler. Kapos were recruited. You can't say Patty Hearst played the same role as her captors. The same is true of any kapo. If Tannenbaum is convicted, giving him the same penalty as an SS member would be a distortion of history." Allan Ryan said the OSI in- vestigated six to ten kapo cases while he was at the Justice Department. "After a great deal of soul searching," according to a senior OSI of- ficial, the Tannenbaum case I>ecame the first of these to be filed. ACCORDING TO other sources, the government began ^'thering data on Tan- nenbaum as early as 1979. Evidence came from the Israeli government and from survivors of Goerlitz living in the U.S. "This was the worst of the kapo cases," said Washington The U.S. Justice Department is trying to deport Jacob Thnnenbaum, who is charged with being a concentration camp kapo. But it's a murky area. How does a Jew act in a society based on sheer survival? attorney Martin Mendelsohn, head of OSI from 1979 until early 1980. "He was a nasty, nasty guy. There were a lot of witnesses who remembered him and his bestiality." By 1980, the case was on the verge of being filed. Then it disappeared. Apparently, the dilemma of a Jew committing atrocities against other Jews under the Nazi aegis was too daunting. A senior federal at- torney in Brooklyn reportedly told a friend in OSI that he could not bring himself to try the case. The case was revived recent- ly when an OSI memo about Tannenbaum was leaked to a daily New York law journal. Some Jewish organizations have speculated that the case was leaked by some certain segments of the Ukrainian or Baltic communities. DISTURBED BY recent OSI prosecution of Estonian Karl Linnas and Ukrainian John Demjanjuk, the memo may have been leaked to "harm or sabotage" the OSI and divide the Jewish com- munity, according to the head of one Jewish organization. "This was not fulfilled," said the executive. The Jewish community is for the prosecu- tion of everyone who commit- ted crimes during the Holocaust, regardless of their ethnic or religious origin. Just as there is no collective guilt, there is no collective innocence." WHAT DID Tannenbaum really do? Jacob Tannenbaum is now in hiding. Death threats and press inqui iea were too much for this 75-year-old man whom neighbors describe as a quiet gentle grandfather who feu stray cats. "Everybody's surprised," said one neighbor. "Nobody has anything against him." In recent interviews with New York newspapers, Tan- nenbaum called the charges against him "absolute gar- bage." But accounts of his wartime experiences have been contradictory. One of Tannenbaum's three children, Sonny, 34, recently told the New York Times that his father had told his im- mediate family and some close friends that he had been a kapo at Goerlitz. But Tannenbaum had previously told the New York Times that he had not been a kapo, but a personal aide to the camp commandant, Oskar Zunker. This, he said, had given him the only prerogatives different from other prisoners: Occasional trips into town for supplies.

Critical of Meet With Waldheim NEW YORK (JTA) - Pope John Paul II's recent meeting with Austrian Presi- dent Kurt Waldheim was criticized by the vast majority of America's largest circula- tion newspapers that com- mented on the controversial Vatican visit, according to the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith. The ADL also said that most newspaper col- umnists and cartoonists reacted negatively to the June 25 meeting. In making public the ADL's "Big 50" survey of the na- tion's leading dailies, Abraham Foxman, ADL's national director, said 19 of the 50 largest circulation newspapers commented editorially on the Pope-Waldheim meeting in a total of 24 editorials on the subject (some newspapers commented more than once). Most said the meeting reflected poor judgment with 15 expressing dismay that it might strain Catholic-Jewish relations. Some, however, sug- gested that the visit could be used positively. EIGHT EDITORIALS - including those in The New York Times, Boston Sunday Globe, Atlanta Constitution and New York Newsday noted that the Pope missed an important opportunity to con- demn Waldheim for his in- volvement in Nazi atrocities and raise public awarenes.- of the Holocaust. Three in the Hartford Courant, Chicago Sun-Times and Los Angeles Herald Ex- aminer while in general agreement that an important opportunity had been missed, said the Pope had the right to meet with whomever he wish- ed.

Acting Foreign Minister. Wiesel also addressed Brazil's Constitutional Assembly and confer- red with President Jose Sarney. (Right) is Rabbi Henry I. Sobel of Congregacao Israelita Paulista of Sao Paulo, the largest synagogue in Latin America, who was Wiesel's host in Brazil. In Brazil Wiesel Defines Favorite Constitution BRASILIA, Brazil (JTA) - Characterizing the Bible as [his "favorite constitution," |Elie Wiesel urged the Brazilian people to adopt a iemocratic constitution that iould reflect scriptural values, including respect for human rights, concern for the poor land defenseless and an open [door to those in need of refuge. "Give a haven to those who Ifeel alienated from their I former world," he said, ad- ding: "A society is judged by its attitude towards [strangers." Wiesel, here to receive the Grand Cross of the Order of the Southern Cross highest civilian medal awarded by the Brazilian government made |his remarks Monday (Aug. 10) overnment officials charged rith creating a new constitu- tion for the country, which is (making the transition from |militarv rule to democracy. THE AWARD, presented [by Abren Sod re, Brazil's Foreign Minster, was given to \\ itst'l for his contributions to international peace. While in Brasilia, the contry's capital, the Nobel Peace Prize reci- pient also met Monday with Brazilian President Jose [Sarney and other government [officials and dignitaries. Rabbi Henry Sobel, spiritual (leader of the Congregacao Israelita Paulista in Sao Paulo, largest Jewish congregation in Latin America, accompanied Wiesel during his three-day visit to Brazil. The Nobel laureate is a guest of the con- gregation and the Con- federacao Israelilta do Brasil, the central body of the Brazilian Jewish community, which is affiliated with the | World Jewish Congress. Sobel pointed out that Brazil iwas the "largest Catholic [country in the world" with some 117 million Catholics - land that leading Catholic is so identified with Israel, will also focus sympathetic atten- tion on Israel's role as a free and democratic nation in the Middle East." Earlier this year, a commis- sion of 10 Catholic and Jewish leaders headed by Sobel issued a 187-page "Guide for a Catholic-Jewish dialogue in Brazil." IN HIS address to the Con- stitutional Congress, Wiesel noted that "as a son of the Jewish people, I view Scrip- ture as the most eloquent moral code of behavior for na- tions, groups and individuals alike." He said that as a Jew his ex- perience made him aware of perils that could threaten any society as well as of "hopes that must be offered to any in- dividual anywhere." He urged the Brazilian leaders to view their projected constitution not as a contract but as a "covenant between govern- ment and the citizens." No people, he said, is superior or inferior to another, and no nation is holier than another. "No religion," he ad- ded, "is closer to truth or to God the source of truth than another." Racism, Wiesel pointed out, "is sinful and ethnic discrimination outrageous." Praising Brazil as a nation that has been immune to racism, he also urged the rejec- tion of religous fanaticism as a course that "leads to hate, not to salvation, just as political extremism begets hostility, not security." HE ALSO urged that the country speak up for Soviet Jews "whose only desire is to join their families in Israel . Speak up for dissidents everywhere whtf use non- violent methods to obtain freedom for themselves and their friends," Wiesel said. "Based on the moral im- Tuesday night (Aug. 11) ad- dressed Sobel's congregation at the Sao Paulo synagogue. More than 5,000 persons, in- cluding government officials and Catholic church dignitaries, attended. Brazil's 150,000 Jews make up the second largest Jewish community in Latin America. Only Argentina's Jewish population is larger. In Brazil, relations between the Jewish community and the Catholic Church are marked by "theological and political sen- sitivity, commitment and vi- sion," according to Sobel.

Wash.-(JTA)-A local Jewish group has an- nounced a reward for informa- tion leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who painted swastikas and obscenities on the general store co-owned by a Jewish woman here. During the evening of July 81, the anti-Semitic graffiti was painted on an outside wall and garage at the Joyce General Store owned by Diane Pfaff, who is Jewish, and her husband. Roland Pfaff. The in- cident occurred on the eve of this tiny northwestern Washington community's an- nual Joyce Daze festival, of which Roland Pfaff is president. CLALLAM COUNTY Sheriffs office is investigating the incident, according to Diane Pfaff, who added she believes the vandalism was the work of an individual rather than an organized anti-Semitic group. "Nothing like this has ever happened before," sne said. "We've always been quite open about our being Jewish." The Pfaffs are active in the Port Angeles area Jewish com- munity and the Washington Association of Jewish Com- munities. Diane Pfaff is one of several Port Angeles area women who meet regularly for Jewish study. "It's shocking when something like this happens to you," she said, describing herself as "numb" when she saw the five large swastikas painted on the store. At the urging of people, including Rabbi Anson Laytner of the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, who oversees WA- JCO. Roland Pfaff read a statement before the Joyce Daze parade condemning the vandalism. "WE DEPLORE the van- dalism, particularly the swastikas which put a very negative. anti-Semitic and very ugly sign on things," Pfaff told* the crowd. Dianne Pfaff said she and Roland have received an out- pouring of support from the people of Joyce, some of whom aided in cleaning off the anti- Semitic slurs.

Denies U.S. Will Sell $1 Billion in Arms to Saudis By JUDITH COLP WASHINGTON (JTA) - Tlie State Departement denied reports Monday that it has decided to plan a $1 billion arm.- sale to Saudi Arabia ear- ly next month. "There have been no new provements to weapon already in the Saudi arsenal.' Sources have said there u nothing new in the Ad ministration intention to resubmit the arms sale But they said they expect the White House to inform Con developments and there is" no ^*J* sal'la ?*! current active consideration of '> ^submitted Legislators this Sue." said State Depart- complained in June that thev Soviet Jewish immigrant Elik Nerenberg and his turn sons, Mark, 12, and Steven, 2, admire the view from their temporary new home in North Bay Village. The sixth floor condo has been contributed to Jewish Family Service by Flagler Federal Savings and Loan Association. Soviet, His Kids New Life With Help of Miami Friends A Soviet Jewish immigrant and his two young sons are liv- ing in an apartment with a Bis- cayne Bay view today thanks to the hard work of the Jewish Family Service of Greater Miami and an in- novative program by a Dade financial institution. Elik Nerenberg, 39, has had a lot of bad luck since he mov- ed to America from Russia eight years ago. His wife died of cancer last year, leaving him with the care of their two sons - Mark, 12, and Steven, 2. HIS OTHER problems have included illness and getting mugged four times in his job as a taxi-driver. He found himself and his children dependent on friends for a place to live, and his life at a seeming dead-end. He had no way of knowing it, but at this very time an idea was emerging from the mind of Herschel Rosenthal, presi- dent of Flagler Federal Sav- ings and Loan Association. Like many South Florida in- stitutions, Flagler Federal had a stock of condominium units on hand most of them turn- ed back by owners with finan- cial difficulties. It occurred to Rosenthal that these condos were going to be around for a while. From his involvement in numerous com- munity activities, he knew of something else that was around the needs of people with problems. ROSENTHAL came up with a plan, which he took to the Jewish Family Service. The result: Flagler Federal pledg- ed to make a condo unit available to the JFS for periods of at least six months for the next five years. The JFS set the six months period that's the time they feel they need to get people with problems back on their feet and self-sufficient. Furthermore, Rosenthal fired off letters to the presidents of several other Dade financial institutions, urging them to consider similar contributions to a private or public service agen- cy of their choice. The Jewish Family Service, which is funded by the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, walked the Nerenberg family right through the door of their new apartment in the Islander Club of North Bay Village. THEY WATCHED his two sons dip their hands into the club's swimming pool, and they watched the man and two boys stand on the balcony overlooking beautiful Biscayne Bay. The Nerenbergs arrived on the same day the furniture donated by Modernage arriv- ed, too. Now, Nerenberg hopes to go ment spokeswoman Phyllis Oakley. "There is no hidden agenda, there will" be no sur- prises on this issue. As we pro- ceed I can assure you that the Administration will consult fully with the Congress." But Oakley said the Ad- ministration has already stated that it will resubmit an arms sales to Saudi Arabia "when it considers it appropriate." OAKLEY was responding to a question about a Washington Post article which stated that the Administration, in light of recent developments in the Persian Gulf, is planning to submit the Saudi arms package to Congress when it convenes Sept. 9. The article said the Administration will argue that a strong Saudi Arabia could be an effective deterrent to the Iranians in the region. The $1 billion arms package reportedly would include the 1,600 Maverick anti-tank missiles whose sale was withdrawn in June in face of a Congressional override. The sale would also include 12 to IS F-15 fighter planes valued at $500 million and i m - were not given advance warn ing about the Maverick missile sale. CONGRESSIONAL pposi tion to the $360 million Maverick sale increased after Saudi Arabia failed to come to the assistance of the U.S. missile frigate Stark attacked last in May by an Iraqi jet in the Persian Gulf. The anger grew when the Saudis balked at assisting the 11 Kuwaiti ships to be flagged as American ir the Gulf. Monthly Consumer Index Rises JERUSALEM (JTA) - The monthly consumer price index rose only 0.2 percent during July. The official figure, released Friday, was much less than government and independent analysts had predicted. The Central Bureau of Statistics attributed the low inflation rate to substantial drops in the prices of fruit and vegetables, and of clothing. during July. The July figure means that employers will not have to pay a cost-of-living in- crement until at November.

U.S. Airman: Lavi Differences Won't Hurt U.S. Ties By HUGH ORGEL TEL AVIV (JTA) An American Air Force official said here Monday that Israel-U.S. relationships would not be damaged if Israel went ahead with its Lavi jet plane project "but I think we will be very disppointed," he said. Air Force Secretary Edward Aldridge, here on a five-day visit, was received at Defense Ministry headquarters Mon- day morning and later met with Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin and senior defense of- fieials. During his stay in Israel, his first, Aldridge visited Air Force bases and military installations, in- eluding the Israel Aircraft In- dustries which manufactured the Lavi. QUESTION E I) b y reporters about the Lavi pre- set, he said that the decision to halt or go ahead with if'is. [ 'ours,., an Israeli decision with many facets and manv im- portant hut difficult problems. I ur view is that it would not be m the best interests of the Israeli government because of ' he impact it will have on other programs which are equally important." Aldridge added that "We understand the difficulty of making such a decision. We are disappointedit had to be delayed, and we are sorry a go or no-go decision was not made. But we understand the lit.ticulties with that." He was referring to the Cabinet deci- sion Sunday to defer until next Sunday a vote on the fate of |trie Lavi project. The American official, who I is an aeronautical engineer by profession and received train- ing m the U.S. space program, a so told reporters "I don't ject continues). We will be disappointed. But it is an Israeli government decision it is their decision to make. Our views about the program are well known and we would be disappointed. But as far as our relationships exist, it will not affect those relationships. ^ THE CABINET'S decision Sunday to delay voting on the Lavi followed public urgings last week by the State Depart- ment and personal messages by Secretary of State George Shultz to top Israeli govern- ment leaders to ground the Lavi. In addition, a growing number of Cabinet Minister now favor scrapping the jet. Premier Yitzhak Shamir and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres resolved privately and recommended jointly to the Cabinet that it defer a vote for a week or two. Peres said Monday that the Cabinet will deal with the Lavi project at its next session. He By MARGIE OLSTER NEW YORK (JTA) Elie Wiesel said Thursday (Aug. 13) that he is "seriously con- sidering" a long-standing in- vitation from the Vatican to meet privately with Pope John Paul II later this month and will probably accept. Wiesel said he would decide on the meeting within a week. Wiesel said that he received the invitation weeks ago, before any discussion arose of a meeting between other Jewish leaders and the Pope at the Vatican. The Pope has invited a delegation of five Jewish religious leaders to meet with him in Rome on Sept. 1. Wiesel's meeting, should he accept the offer, would be prior to Sept. 1. WIESEL SAID he will not represent any delegation or organization in his meeting with the Pope but will be speaking to him as a private person. Wiesel has been critical of the Pope's granting of an au- dience on June 25 to Austrian President Kurt Waldheim, ac- cused of complicity in Nazi war crimes. But Wiesel has also censured Pope John Paul II for misinterpreting the Holocaust by denying its uniqueness as a Jewish tragedy. Instead, the Pope has acknowledged that Jews suffered more than other peoples but consistently stresses the Catholic victims of Nazism. Wiesel said he would discuss his view of the Holocaust among other issues with the Pope but refused to elaborate on a possible agenda. He said he hopes the meeting will be private and the discussion will remain a secret. THE VATICAN had arrang- ed a meeting between the Pope and Jewish religious leaders on Sept. 11 in Miami during his visit to America. After the Pope's audience with Waldheim, however, many of the Jewish groups scheduled to participate in the meeting withdrew in protest. Many of the same organiza- tions are now reconsidering their participation pending the outcome of the Sept. 1 meeting with the Pope. New Zundel Trial Slated By BEN KAYFETZ TORONTO (JTA) The second trial of revisionist Ern- st Zundel, previously convicted of deliberately publishing lies about the Holocaust, will com- mence January 4, 1988. A Canadian court in March, 1985 convicted Zundel, a Ger- man native living in Canada, of one count of wilfully publishing false information likely to cause racial or social intolerance. Zundel published a number of books and pamphlets, in- cluding "Did Six Million Really Die?" which claimed that Zionists invented the hoax of a Holocaust to extort repara- tions from post-war Germany. He also claimed nobody had seen Jews being gassed to death. THE COURT sentenced Zundel, 48, to 15 months' im- prisonment and prohibited him from publicly discussing the Holocaust. Zundel appealed the verdict and the Ontario Court of Appeal later ordered a new trial. The Supreme Cou t of Canada refused to hear an appeal of the Ontario Court's decision. Zundel's lawyer, Douglas Christie, said the second trial would take four to six months and substantial new evidence would be presented. Christie claimed the court did not per- mit him to present this evidence to the jury in the first trial. <&= fjp^A djt ^ IP rf A< tt St* ^^XH ALLENGE AIR jL Real People.

The included a unique 1.800-year-old mosaic floor un- covered two weeks ago at Tsipori, in lower Galilee, and the ruins of a Bronze Age port dating back 5,000 years at Tel Rami, south of Atlit. The six-by-five-meter floor at Tsipori, once the most im- portant city of Galilee, seat of the Roman governors and a major Jewish center where the Sanhedrin officiated after the destruction of the Second Temple, shows an almost lifesize portrait of a beautiful young woman and of 15 Greek gods, including Dionysus, all named in Greek. THE PICTURES are picked out in tiny colored mosaic stones, with the young woman's cheeks in four shades from flesh color to rouge. The gods are depicted in motion, regarded as rare for ancient mosaics. The archaeologists, from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Duke Universi- ty of North Carolina, believe the portrait may have been of a woman guest of the governor who was entertained in this very room which, from its size and position, may have been the Roman governor's recep- tion hall. Tsipori was the home of Rab- bi Yehuda Hanassi, who com- piled and edited the Mishna, second only to the Pentateuch in Jewish holy writ, for the last 17 years of his life, at the beginning of the Third Century. The third season of digging at Tel Rami brought to light Israel's oldest known port city, dating back 5,000 years. EXCAVATED by a Haifa University team aided by researchers and students from the U.S. and Europe, this year's work turned up a wide range of stone and clay tools, jewelry and weapons "show- ing that in the late Bronze Age Tel Rami was an important sea traffic station," according to Dr. Michal Artzi, head of the university's maritime civiliza- tions department. This season's important finds here included a storehouse dating from 3,000 BCE, the first of its kind found in the country, as well as a sewage system. Archaeologists in Ashkelon uncovered a large dog cemetery and what appeared to have been a Philistine brothel, with erotic wall decorations. The Atra Kadisha Jewish cemetery protection associa- tion which halted the Caesarea dig apparently decided that work at these three sites did not endanger Jewish graves, and the researchers were not molested there. FINALLY FREEDOM: Soviet pianist Vladimir Feltsman (right) smiles as he arrives at Vienna's Schwechat A irport last week with his wife, Anna, and son, Daniel, after being greeted by U.S. Ambassador Warren Zimmermann (rear). Feltsman. who has struggled for eight years to leave the Soviet Union, said his family would travel to France for a few days, and then to New York, where they plan to live. No Surprise U.S., Soviet Lawyers Won't Break Formal Agreement By WINSTON PICKETT SAN FRANCISCO (JTA) Bay Area Soviet Jewry ac- tivists are disturbed but not surprised that two efforts to end a formal agreement bet- ween American and Soviet lawyers failed last week. And although the American Bar Association overwhelm- ingly refused to abrogate its 1985 "Declaration of Coopera- tion" with the Association of Soviet Lawyers, a local Jewish lawyer is hopeful for a tur- naround next year. Attorney Ephraim Margolin, one of the strongest opponents of the ABA-ASL agreement to speak at the ABA convention here last week, contended that "we won the debate but lost the vote." HE AND other activists pushed abrogation on the grounds that the ASL is an arm of the KGB and not an equivalent of the ABA. The ac- tivists said they were sure many ABA leaders were educated on the plight of Soviet Jews during the week. On Monday, (Aug. 10), the ABA assembly voted 156-32 to reject a resolution to abrogate the ABA's agreement with the ASL, a group charged directly with Soviet rights violations and anti-Semitic policies. Denunciations reached a fever pitch at that session, when a representative from the American Foundation for Resistance International call- ed for an "economic boycott" of lawyers who supported the ABA's cooperative agreement with the Soviets.

ON TUESDAY, the ABA's House of Delegates killed by voice vote a resolution by the Arizona Bar Association that sought to delete what its sup- porters saw as anti-human- rights portions of the pact bet- ween the two legal associa- tions. David Waksberg, direc- tor of the Bay Area Council for Soviet Jews and vice president of the Union of Councils for Soviet Jews, which had earlier staged a protest calling for cancelation of the ABA-ASL agreement, said the abroga- tion defeat was "a tragic- mistake, and my feeling is that innocent victims are going to pay for the arrogance and ig- norance of the ABA leadership." Appearing at the BACS.l protest outside the Fairmont Hotel here, where the ABA convention was held, former Prisoner of Conscience Zachar Zunshain told approximately 60 supporters that the American-Soviet agreement would be used as a pretext to prosecute more Soviet Jews.

Newman said that "about two-thirds of the group was in- to prayer. The one-third who were not really believers went along with it and said it really opened their eyes, that they were moved by the prayers, and they felt that it had a great deal of meaning. "WE HAD no prior idea of the extent of danger to which we would be subjected, although no one hid from us the danger. Every time we got someplace safely where there were dangers involved in get- ting there which was all the time we said a shehecheyanu, so this delega- tion was in the great Jewish tradition." The group said that after in- terviewing a host of people, in- cluding the last remaining Jew in Managua, journalists and a list of political figures, in- cluding Contras and San- dinistas, as well as ordinary citizens, they could not substantiate charges of anti- Semitism. In addition, they also maintained a constant lookout for signs of anti- Semitic graffiti. Roland Najlis, the lone re- maining Jew in Managua, told the group that he could not in any way support allegations of anti-Semitism. Najlis is caretaker of the Jewish cemetery. A retired businessman, he came to Nicaragua from Europe with his family when he was a young child. Najlis told the group he was never aware of anti-Semitism in Nicaragua, nor is he aware of it now. The group also met with Jewish American journalist Barbara Stahler-Sholk. who had herself done what they described as extensive investigating of the allegations of anti-Semitism. Her findings could not support the charges, they said. ALTHOUGH THEY found no indications of systemic anti- Semitism, they claim that "there exists in Nicaragua serious confusion regarding the terms 'anti-Semitism." 'anti-Zionism" and "anti- Israel." This thev ascribe to Israel's long standing military support of Nicaragua, going back to the days of the Somoza regime and continuing into the present with sales of arms to the Contras. The delegation spoke to Carlos Aleman Ocampo of the Ministry of the Exterior, Divi- sion of" Mideast Affairs, who told them he "distinguished between Israel as a State and the Jewish people," and said that Nicaragua "recognizes the sovereignty of Israel, its right to exist, as well as that of the Palestinian people." Esther Newman, an occupa- tional therapist and rehabilita- tion counselor, told JTA, "Look, I'm very sensitive to anti-Semitism. I've leen an identified Jew, a committed synagogue member, for all of life. Our family lived in Nicaragua, as well as another in 1984. She said she never en- countered any anti-Semitism in all her trips there, even in talks with "the most outspoken people." Taylor said that the Nicaraguan Minister of Tourism, Herty Lewites, is Jewish, and that one of the four main markets in Managua is named for his brother, Israel Lewites. Taylor, a hospice nurse in Philadelphia, is a long-time civil rights activist who work- ed on an interfaith task force on Central America. She was aware of her Jewishness, be- ing frequently the sole Jew on a team of committed civil rights workers whose belief in their cause came from a "faith base. The invitation to come to Nicaragua came from the Nicaraguan churches, and not from the government. Witness for Peace is not only commit- ted to nonviolence but to political independence from Theological Seminary of America and the Western Reserve Historical Society, in cooperation with the Jewish Community Federation of ( leveland. the Nicaraguan government," Taylor explained. Rebecca Rosenbaum, a writer from Iowa City, Iowa, who was part of the delega- tion, said, "I grew up in New York. Now, living in the Midwest where there is a small Jewish population my peace work is involved with church people who connect their religious beliefs with peace and justice. I've grown increasingly hungry for a Jewish way to act on my beliefs. "ALSO, I feel that the Jewish community has been used by the Reagan Ad- ministration, which is trying to woo us to support their cause the Contras by invoking Sandinista anti-Semitism." At the Jewish cemetery in Managua, the group recited the Kaddish. Soifer drew a poignant parallel between that Kaddish and an unexpected ceremony to which the group was brought in an isolated mountain village, an '"ascendi- miento," where the survivors of Contra attacks have "a small measure of protection." and where "We saw the worst malnutrition we saw anywhere . and houses without walls." Soifer described a scene where "campesinos" (peasants) kept arriving to meet the group, to tell them of personal tragedies of relatives who had been kidnapped by the Contras, "people who they didn't know for sure were dead but probably were." They heard a long list of "desaparecidos" (disappeared ones) that included children and their parents, entire families vanished. Everyone interviewed agreed that Nicaragua is a na- tion in turmoil, that it faces numerous problems, and that there is repression. Although there have been reported in- stances of anti-Semitic reference to price-gouging in the official Nicaraguan press since their visit, the group em- phasized that the solution is not to engage in war and not to use the charge of anti- Semitism in Nicaragua to en- tice American Jews to support the Administration's pro- Contra policy.

The bombs brought World War II in the Pacific to an abrupt and merciful end, saving more than a million Allied and Japanese lives. But those horrific explosions also marked the beginning of a new kind of existence for all mankind existence in a nuclear age, an age in which man has the power to destroy his entire planet. LAST WEEK 20 world religious leaders gathered at the top of the Japanese moun- tain of Mt. Hiei to participate in a Religious Summit calling for yet another age an age of world peace without nuclear weapons. Representing American Judaism at this prestigious gathering of religious leaders was Rabbi Joseph Glaser, the executive vice president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, the profes- sional association of Reform rabbis in the United States, Canada and abroad. As the only American par- ticipating in the Religious Summit, Glaser also has the honor of representing the United States clergy at Mt. Unionists Told To Cut S. Africa Ties By HUGH ORGEL TEL AVIV (JTA) - Histadrut Secretary-General Yisrael Kessar has ordered all industrial enterprises controll- ed by the trades union federa- tion to break all commercial ties with South Africa, once present contracts have expired. His move followed a com- plaint by Civil Rights Move- ment Knesset member Ran Cohen that Iskoor, a company owned by the Histadrut's giant Koor Industries, last year bought $25 million worth of steel and scrap iron from South African. Cohen charged that Iskoor had set up a front company in Switzerland called Talronics to conceal its dealings with South Africa. The Jerusalem Post wrote Thursday (Aug. 13) that Kessar had initially refused to respond to Cohen's charges, but Wednesday (Aug. 12) sum- moned heads of Hevrat Haov- dim, the Histadrut's holding company, and of Koor In- dustries to impress on them that they must follow the Histadrut's policy of ending all trade links with South Africa. They reportedly told Kessar they had aleady given such in- structions but noted that Iskoor last year signed a five- year contract with South Africa which would be too ex- pensive to cancel. Cohen said he would con- tinue his investigations. into the Iskoor affair, claiming that other European countries had broken even more expensive contracts with South Africa. Hiei. which is known as the cradle of Buddhism in Japan. Initially, Glaser was the only Jewish representative to be in- vited to participate in the summit. HOWEVER, at Glasers suggestion, the Japan Con- ference of Religious Represen- tatives added invitations to one Orthodox rabbi from Israel and one from South America: Israel Lau, Chief Rabbi of Netanya, and Pinchas Brenner of Caracas, Venezuela. Other world religious leaders participating in the Religious Summit included two Catholic representatives from the Vatican, the Ar- chbishop of Canterbury, the Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Jerusalem, the General Secretary of the World Coun- cil of Churches, three Buddhist leaders, two Islamic leaders, and a Hindu, Sikh, Dao and Confucian leader. The gathering was coor- dinated by the Japan Religious Committee for the World Federation, an organization of religious groups in Japan established in 1945 after ex- periencing the nuclear bomb- ing at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Committee's principal proposal is that the year 2001 should be named "Year One" of the Age of Peace for Mankind, an age free from the threat of all nuclear weapons. DURING THE week long conference. Glaser and his wife, Agathe, joined with the other participants in touring some of Japan's cultural marvels and in com- memorating a number of local memorials. The week also in- cluded a visit to the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But the central moments of the Conference occurred last Monday (Aug. 3) and Tuesday during the two-day Religious Summit at the top of Mt. Hiei, a mountain located on the out- skirts of the Japanese city of Kyoto. Each religious leader was asked to speak on two occa- sions during the summit on Mt. Hiei, first sharing thoughts on "The Way to Peace" and later offering a personal "Prayer for Peace." During his remarks to the world gathering, Glaser spoke of the Jewish concept of peace. "OUR HEBREW word shalom means more than cessation of war," explained Glaser. "It means wholeness and completeness. Since one side to a conflict cannot have shalom without the other, it follows that both sides must be part of this wholeness. Everyone is involved or there is no shalom. Not only everyone is involved, but the demands of wholeness require everything; justice, freedom, plenty." Glaser characterized the transcending task of religious leaders to be that of "hearing the cry of the oppressed, the victims, the prisoners, the hungry." And ultimately, the mission of every religious leader is "to teach" a sense of compassion to all mankind a compassion that would lead to a world of peace.

But different stories about Tannenbaum have come from former inmates of Goerlitz. They say he was Goerlitz's chief kapo, not merely an aide to the camp commandant. Former prisoners claim he raped women and beat, tor- tured and killed male prisoners. Well-groomed and well-fed, they say, he escaped the priva- tions of life in a forced-labor camp. Described by some as a "wild," "cold-blooded" man, Tannenbaum, according to ac- counts, was hated and feared by fellow Jews. Goerlitz was constructed during the summer and early fall of 1944. Construction was nearly complete when Leon Zelig arrived there in August, 1944. Tannenbaum arrived there a few days later. "He was six feet tall, blond, good looking," said Zelig, 58, now a resident of Los Angeles. "No one who spends time in a ghetto or forced-labor camp looks that well." WHEN Tannenbaum came to Goerlitz, he was a kapo, ac- cording to Zelig. A few days later, he said, Tannenbaum was the chief kapo, in charge of Goerlitz's eight other kapos, one for each bloc in the camp. David Katz, 65, arrived in Goerlitz about the same time as Zelig. "Tannenbaum didn't seem too bad at first," he said. "But when the new prisoners came from (the ghetto of) Lodz in September, 1944, he chang- ed. He became a wildman." Leon Hostig is now a 67-vear-old resident of the East Flatbush section of Brooklyn. In the ghetto of Lodz, two SS men had beaten his mother. She died two days later. His father was sent to the ovens in Auschwitz. Hostig, then 23, and his two brothers, Avram, 19, and Joel, 24, were also in Auschwitz in July and August, 1944. In September, they were among the approximately 500 men from Lodz sent to Goerlitz. "WE DIDN'T know where we were heading," said Hostig. "But we knew it was a labor camp, and that meant survival." Before leaving Auschwitz, Hostig had been given relatively sturdy clothes a jacket, a shirt, pants, decent shoes. Upon arriving at Goerlitz, he stood in the camp's courtyard in the first of two rows of incoming prisoners. Tannenbaum, stan- ding about 15 feet from Hostig, faced the new inmates. "He wore beautiful pressed pants, shined shoes, a cap with a brim," said Hostig. "He was the king of the camp." Tannenbaum looked at Hostig's shoes and ordered him to remove them and get some wooden clogs from a sup- ply room. "I didn't move too fast," recalls Hostig. "After all, he was another Jew. What could he do?" Tannenbaum then strode over to Hostig, raised both his hands in the air ana slammed him on the head. Hostig fell sprawling into the dirt. LATER THAT day. the prisoners in Bloc No. 4, where Hostig's younger brother, Avram bad been assigned. were ordered into the cour- tyard. Avram, thin and frail. <......

The New Jewish Agenda shares platforms with the PLO. The New Jewish Agenda believes in the establishment of a Palestinian State by the PLO. Agenda does not believe in the State of Israel as a Jewish State. Agenda is a radical political movement masquerading under the label of an "alternative" Jewish philosophy. Nonsense. BUT HERE is the danger. The New Jewish Agenda is seeking legitimacy by joining Jewish Federations around the country under the "alter- native" label. There, from the haven of Jewish Establish- ment, they can with credibility foment their self-destruction and try to take the rest of us down with with them. We can- not permit that. Labels need no longer trap or limit us. Things must be identified. An anti-Zionist is a Jew-hater, even if he is a Jew. Let us just strip away the mas- quarade of labels. Let the New Jewish Agenda speak for itself, but not from the safety and protection of a Federation forum. Any so-called Jewish organization which would espouse a Palestinian State in Judea and Samaria does not deserve legitimacy, specifical- ly, when they do it from the safety of America. The New Jewish Agenda is self- destructive, self-hating Jewry at its 1980's purest. Keep them outside the pale, and let them self-destruct. They will. was slow to move. Tannen- baum went into Avram's bar- racks and, according to Hostig, stood in the doorway next to the boy's bunk and "beat his lungs out." The beating was witnessed by the prisoners in the courtyard. The next day, Avram went to Goerlitz's "hospital," a room with three beds and a Jewish physician who was given no medications. The boy died the following day. "Tannenbaum is responsible for my brother's death," said Hostig, who had sneaked his brother into the trucks from Auschwitz heading to Goerlitz. "Avram weighed about 80 pounds. He was only flesh and blood. He wouldn't have pass- ed the inspection at Auschwitz that approved prisoners being sent to Goerlitz. I risked my life so he would have a chance to survive." "Tannenbaum was responsi- ble for a lot of killings," said Hostig, "not with a weapon, not with a stick, but with his hands. We didn't have any Germans killing us because there were hardly any Germans." ACCORDING TO Hostig, there were only three Ger- mans at Goerlitz: the camp commander, the lager fuhrer, who lived in a house on a hill above Goerlitz; a shoemaker who essentially ran the camp who had been convicted for killing his wife; and a Wer- macht officer who ran the kitchen I ater that month, said Hostig. a rabbit had escaped from a small cage next to the Continued on Page 15-A Inmate Wants Kosher Diet EDINBURGH (JTA) - An inmate is demanding a kosher diet at Perth Prison and is attempting to sue the Secretary of State for Scotland, Malcolm Rifkind. The Jewish Echo reports that Peter Martin, 27, of Edin- burgh contends that the absence of kosher meat has limited his diet, thereby damaging his health. He abs- tains from pork and bacon, but according to his attorney, Cameron Fyfe, eats corned beef "against his religious belief." "He also says he is being denied gefilte fish, matzos bread and that he has to eat meat with dairy products dur- ing meals," the attorney continued. Scottish law says that "every prisoner shall be re- quired on admission to state his religious denomination and shall continue to be treated as a member of that denomina- tion," the Echo noted. Yet, prisons do not supply kosher food or comply with other ethnic diets, according to Alfred Finer, chairman of the Jewish After-Care Association of London. Jewish prisoners may opt for a vegetarian diet. but this is not necessarily satisfactory- Page 14-A The Jewish Floridian/Friday, August 21, 1987 U.S. Jews Mount Opposition to Bork Okay Continued from Page 1-A this one fight where they can not remain on the sidelines. ALONG WITH the Jewish War Veterans, the Union of American Hebrew Congrega- tions (UAHC), American Jewish Congress, B'nai B'rith Women, National Council of Jewish Women and New Jewish Agenda are opposing the Bork nomination. The National Jewish Coali- tion has come out in support of the nomination, maintaining that Bork is "eminently qualified" to serve on the court and that "neither ideology nor political opportunism should prevent him from doing so." David Coyne, executive director of New Jewish Agen- da, said he was "very en- couraged" by Jewish opposi- tion to Bork. He noted that a year ago, during the nomina- tion of Justice Antonin Scalia and Chief Justice William Rehnquist," the Jewish com- munity was almost nowhere to be found." IRMA GETLER, president of B'nai B'rith Women, an organization which did not op- pose the two previous court nominations, said her members are showing an unusual interest and concern about the Bork appointment. "As a Jewish women's organization we felt compelled to speak out in opposition to Bork because he has spoken out on many subjects affecting women and Jews on which we are on record," said Getler. But sources are saying that other Jewish groups will have to oppose Bork if the Jewish community is going to have an impact on the nomination. The Chiles: PLO 'Unacceptable' In U.S. Offices Continued from Page 1-A freedom of speech as guaranteed by the First Amendment. "THE ANTI-terrorism Act was carefully written so as not to violate the spirit or letter of the First Amendment. The Act does not limit the constitu- tional right of anyone to ex- press an opinion in support of the PLO. "The Act makes a distinc- tion between an 'advocate' of the PLO and an 'agent' of the organization. Thus* the bill prevents the PLO from operating in the U.S. any of- fice it directly funds or con- trols," Chiles declared. Braille for Teens NEW YORK (JTA) - Materials to help visually disabled Jewish youngsters celebrate a Bar or Bat Mitzvah are available free of charge from the Jewish Braille In- stitute of America. The non- profit Jewish agency reports it has helped to facilitate nearly 1,000 such ceremonies in its 56 years. The visually impaired students can study alongside their sighted peers, according to the institute. Washington Jewish Week recently reported that three Jewish Senators invited several Jewish organizations to send representatives to a closed-door meeting to urge them to take a stand on this issue. Sen. Alan Cranston (D., Calif.), reportedly told them that by opposing Bork, Jewish groups could show that they are interested in Issues besides Israel. Sens. Carl Levin (D., Mich.) and Howard Metzen- baum (D., Ohio) also reported- ly attended the meeting. Rabbi David Saperstein, ex- ecutive director of the UAHC's Religious Action Center, said that some Senators who will be swing votes on the Bork nomination could be influenced by the Jewish community's stand on this issue. "I THINK what the Jewish community does is going to send a profound signal rippling through the Senate that may well determine the outcome of this battle," he added. But some Jewish organiza- tions invited to the meeting are still debating whether to oppose the nomination and say they might decide to remain neutral.

In the stinkhole of Goerlitz, volition and motiva- tion came from survival in- dividual survival and the only code was to make it through one more day. Morali- ty and decency kind thoughts and kind actions were almost aberrations. THE WORLD that the Nazis so craftily created was a world no one on the outside can comprehend. At Auschwitz, the SS occasionally forced Jewish prisoners to throw alive into the ovens Jewish inmates who had warn- ed new prisoners of the crematoria that awaited them. In the numerous Judenrat, the Jewish councils in eastern Europe under Nazi occupation, Jewish leaders decided which Jews to ship for certain death to concentration camps. The Germans forced Jews in- to the sewers of Warsaw to flush out other Jews who were hiding after the ghetto's famous 1943 uprising.

Then, there was silence around 3 a.m. The boy had 'lied." "ALL THE kapos were very selfish," said Hostig. "They wanted to show more than was required of them by the Germans. There was no lecency among them. There were no good kapos. They were Tannenbaum's little ar- my. He didn't have to order other kapos to beat us. They didn't need orders. They did it. "Being a kapo was being in heaven. Tannenbaum got his 'wn barber, his own tailor, special food. He never had it so tfood before the war." Other survivors of Goerlitz also tell chilling stories about Tannenbaum's behavior. At one point, the kapo reportedly refused to let coal be used to heat the "hospital." Coal smuggled by healthier prisoners was used only at night so Tannenbaum would not discover the subterfuge. ANOTHER TIME, Tannen baum reportedly called 45-year-old Jacob Adler a "Hungarian prostitute," then slammed him across the back with an iron bar, killing him in- stantly. According to survivor David Katz, Tannenbaum had the run of the women's bar- racks and "raped anyone he wanted," including a very religious Chasidic girl with whom he wanted to live. In February, 1945, said Katz, Tannenbaum selected 300 Jews to be gassed at Gross Rosen, a nearby concentration camp. And two days before Chanukah, 1944, said Leon Zelig, Tannenbaum came into the washroom where Zelig's father, Moshe, a Chasidic rab- bi, was leading some prisoners in prayer. Swinging a rubber hose, Tannenbaum killed the rabbi. Twice before, Zelig had seen Tannenbaum beat his father. To date, the only person who has a kind word for Tannen- baum is Aaron Miller, now a 76-year-old Chasidic cantor in Brooklyn. Delighted with Miller's concerts on Sundays, the prisoners' one day off from 12-hour work days, Tannen- baum once gave Miller some extra food. But Tannenbaum also once offered to make Miller a kapo. "God forbid," responded Miller, "and have everyone under my boot? "It can't be that Tannen- baum is not guilty," said Miller. "He was wild. He was a murderer. What they say about him is true. He just didn't do anything to me. He was kind to me." SURVIVORS DIFFER on what happened to Tannen- baum after the war. Some say he disappeared a few days before the Soviets liberated the camp on May 8, 1945. A few say he lived briefly in the town of Goerlitz. Another says he lived for a while in Rumania with the Chasidic girl he had repeatedly raped in the labor camp. In 1946, Leon Zelig tried to track down Tannen- baum in Bucharest, where he had heard he was living Zelig was ready to gouge out Tan- nenbaum's eyes. He never found him. According to the Justice Department, Tannenbaum entered the United States from Italy in 1949. Six years later, he became a U.S. citizen. Survivors have had varying reactions to Tannenbaum's resurfacing. Leon Hostig was "furious, furious," to learn that Tannenbaum had been liv- ing about two miles from him in Brooklyn. "MY BLOOD hasn't stop ped running," he said. "I would like to be his killer. If I had known he was ten minutes away, he never would have survived. I don't care about my life. I never had a life. There wasn't a night for me that I didn't have a dream from those days. People say, 'Forget.' I can't forget." If given a chance, survivor David Katz "would cut off one of Tannenbaum's fingers every day. I would show him what sadism is." But Leon Zelig would have preferred that Tannenbaum had never been discovered. His exposure before his family and friends and synagogue, said Zelig, "is punishment enough." "Tannenbaum was a vic- tim," said Zelig. "He had lost his family as I did. Nobody was human in those days. The first thing I did when I heard that Tannenbaum had killed my father was rush to my father's bunk and take it apart, sear- ching for bread to eat that he may have hidden for religious services. That is not a very human thing to do." While noting that kapos were generally forced by the SS to commit certain brutalities, Zelig added that Tannenbaum had gone "beyond the bounds. A kapo didn't have to be a sadist. Tan- nenbaum went beyond the bounds. Yet, I cannot say I Goerlitz survivor Leon Hostig said, "Everyone was looking for his own survival. It was brother against brother, child against parent." The Tannenbaum case does not rest easily with some Jews. Despite the Jewish com- munity's official endorsement of the case's prosecution, one detects a wariness that it will expose old wounds, that it will reveal the depths to which not only Nazis, but also Jews, sank during the Holocaust. "It hurts the heart to talk about one Jew against another," said Bella Miller, wife of Goerlitz survivor Aaron Miller. "But if a Jew could do something like this, maybe we are not such a good people." That a whole people should be or, even, can be judged by the actions of one man is. perhaps, myopic. Such think- ing emanates from the mirror image of racism. But it also in- dicates the magnitude of roil- ing emotions that the Tannen- baum case has unleashed. And a sign of what is to come as the case slowly progresses to trial. Jerusalem Electric Co. Workers Oppose Cabinet's Restrictions By DAVID LANDAU JERUSALEM (JTA) - There were protests and demonstrations by workers at the Jerusalem District Elec- tricity Company following the Cabinet's decision to restrict JDEC's operations exclusively to Arab consumers. The Cabinet approved, by a vote of 15-5, the recommenda- tion of Energy Minister Moshe Shahal to reduce the scope of the debt-ridden JDEC's opera- tions so that the company would cease serving the new Jewish suburbs of Jerusalem and West Bank Jewish settlements. THESE WILL now receive their electricity directly from the Israel Electric Corporation (IEC), the government-owned Israeli power monopoly. The JDEC will confine itself to sup- plying Arab sections of Jerusalem and the West Bank, the Cabinet rejected an alter- native proposal that the JDEC be closed down altogether. The company will be re- quired to dismiss some 350 of its staff of more than 500. It will l>e required to purchase all of its electricity from the IEC. Hitherto it has generated five percent of its electricity, and purchased 95 percent from the IEC. The five percent capacity will henceforth be used in emergencies only. The JDEC is the largest cor- poration in the administered areas, and its staff is widely reputed to include politically radical elements among its leadership. The company's fate, therefore, has long been seen as a political as well as economic problem. THE COMPANY'S chair man, Hanna Nasser, said he deplored the Cabinet's deci- sion to reduce the JDEC's con- cession, but he did not reject the entire plan. Apparently he hopes for concomitant govern- ment aid to help bail the com- pany out of its financial troubles. Jewish residents of East Jerusalem and the settlements were generally plased at the Cabinet's decision, because JDEC's antiquated equipment has often broken down in the past, causing lengthy power lapses.

I I I I I A Collection of Anguish ADL Photo Exhibit Of Disapearing Polish Jews By ELLEN ANN STEIN Jewish Fhridian Staff Writer Polish Jews are a people on tie verge of extinction. In 300, three-quarters of all the ews in the world lived in foland. In 1939, the 3.5 million polish Jews formed the second rgest diaspora. By 1980, jut 5,000 of them were left. These Polish Jews are all nat remains of a people whose fes had once been full of col- |rful traditions and customs. low, in Lublin, it is even dif- |cult to find enough Jews to tiake a minyan. A ROMAN Catholic lusband-and-wife photojour- lalist team noticed the silence if the once vibrant communi- f. They set out to track down tie members of that Lublin mi- lyan. They found the last losher butcher in Poland. icy found a society of Jews [here the median age was 70 (I loneliness prevailed. It was a five-year effort that |ften used up their own esources. But they kept at it. hie result is a book called, [Remnants: The Last Jews of Poland." The photographic documen- iry, currently on exhibit in le National Press Club in /ashington, D.C., will make \,s way to Miami's Historical luseum in the Cultural Center i downtown Miami Sept. 1-30. fhe exhibit is being sponsored iy the Anti-Defamation [league of B'nai B'rith and the listorical Museum of fouthern Florida. "THE REMNANTS exhibit an important and poignant ?minder of the glory now lost ^f the Polish Jewish communi- said Arthur Teitelbaum, out hern area director for the iDL. 'The 500 Jews who remain Poland offer a fragment of hope that the memory of the ens of thousands of Polish lews who were lost in the lolocaust will not be forgotten." The colorful and sensitive vriting that accompanies the [ihotographs was done by lalgorzata Niezabitowska, a surnalist, playwright, screen- writer and lyricist who holds lejrrees in law and journalism rom the University of War- law. She was active in Solidarity and wrote for the ovement's newspaper until Solidarity was quashed with he clamp of martial law in 981. SHE RECENTLY com pleted a year of study at Har- vard University where she was recipient of the 1986 Nieman fellowship for Journalism. Her husband, Tomasz 'omaszewski, is one of oland's leading photographers and also work- ed for Solidarity Weekly. They cere both born in Warsaw, lere they live with their (ight-year-old daughter, Iaryna. Besides financial problems, /hich were alleviated when rriendly Press in New York ^igned a contract for their ook, the couple faced other problems. Niezabitowska writes about them in an introduction of the sk called, "Why?" Jews of Poland ADL Photo Exhibit, Sept. 1-30. "WHEN I began, I never dreamed of how difficult it would turn out to be. Above all, because taking up such a painful and complex subject re- quired me to begin with myself: to overcome my own ignorance as well as my often unconscious presuppositions and stereotypes not only about Jews and Poles but also about their mutual relations. "It was difficult because it also meant overcoming the mistrust of many Jews still liv- ing in Poland and gaining ac- ceptance in the closed circles where a goy is always an out- sider and every Pole is an anti- Semite." Niezabitowska and Tomaszewski discussed their project with The Jewish Flori- dian, in a telephone interview. WHAT DID they learn? "First of all, we are very lucky that we made this record," says Tomaszewski. "It was really the last moment of thousands of years of history of Polish Jews. But this is not just our impressions. They are the impressions of the hundreds of Jews which we interviewed and who we met in five years. "They call themselves 'The Last.' Even the young people, about 35-40 years old, feel they are the last ones. There is no hope for the Jewish life. It's hard to find a minyan in the shtetls, in the small Jewish towns." Tomaszewski notes that their book is the first to deal with contemporary Jews in Poland since the Second World War. BEING CATHOLIC, he acknowledges, ''our knowledge was very, very small about Polish Jews. We learned a lot, and we unders- tand Yiddish right now, and we know how to behave in the synagogue. Many of the people who became heroes of the book are our friends now." Their book was also publish- ed in German and is available in West Germany. "This is the country which created the Holocaust. I think it's very im- portant to show to this public this kind of book." Anti-Semitism is not a big problem in Poland today, says Niezabitowska. "Freedom of religion in Poland is big. Poles are very Catholic, and no one is prosecuted for going to church. Jews have synagogues and rooms of prayer. The only problem is there aren't even enough Polish Jews to form a minyan." The story will not end with this book. "I cannot imagine ourselves staying apart of Jewish life in'Poland. It was very important for us, it was the biggest emotional and pro- fessional experience in our life. It gave us a deep knowledge and understanding that we didn't have before, a love, and we are very glad it happened." THEY DIDNT always have an easy time. Niezabitowska often relates her experiences in the book with passages such as this: "How many of you are there today" "A handful. "But do you still have a mi- nyan for prayers? "For the important holidays everybody comes.

Rudolf Kuznetsov told the weekly Soviet journal Sovoye Vrema that "in keeping with the Constitution and the inter- national obligations of the USSR, the letter and spirit of the documents of the Commit- tee on Security and Coopera- tion in Europe, and also of last year's conference in Bern, the Soviet government is making human contacts and issues of reunification of families easier."

He said that former Soviet Jews residing in countries that have diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union can invite their relatives to join them. Kuznetsov also said that it will be possible for trips to be made to and from the Soviet Union, "for meetings not only with close relatives but also with other relations and even with friends." The publication's inter- viewer. Lev Yelin, asked if a former Soviet Jewish national could invite a Soviet Jewish relative for permanent residence in the West, to which Kuznetsov replied. "Yes. he can." However. Kuznetsov subse- Updated quently took a swipe at Soviet emigres who applied to go to Israel and then went to other countries instead. "Those peo- ple assured us that all they ever wanted was to live in that country (Israel) and nowhere else but in fact they never even put one foot on Israeli soil .

Many autistic children also have other handicaps. :-ivi-i-!-!-iW^ By ELLEN ANN STEIN Jewish Floridian Staff Writer Gershon Kuzecki is a father who does not have a pleasant picture of his daughter's early years to show. The picture he has shows his daughter Miriam with a tube in her stomach. She was so withdrawn, doctors could not get her to eat any other way. Miriam Kuzecki, the daughter of Gershon and Paula, is autistic, a developmental disability that defies easy classification. It oc- curs in an estimated 15 of 10,000 births and usually is diagnosed by the age of 3. Symptoms include an inability to process external informa- tion, leading to problems in learning, communication and behavior. An autistic child can be erratic, self-destructive, hyperactive or totally withdrawn. Many autistic children also have other handicaps. "MY WIFE noticed it early, just after the nursing age, but the pediatricians told my wife at that time that they really didn't feel anything was wrong with our daughter and that she was being a hysterical mother," Kuzecki, an Or- thodox Jew and public school teacher in Cleveland, said. Kuzecki came to Miami, though, with news of optimism for other children in South Florida like his daughter, who is now 7. He had found a school in Japan that helped his daughter more than any other program she had been in. Now that school is opening a branch in Lexington, Mass. It is scheduled to open this fall as the Boston Higashi School. Kuzecki's purpose is two- fold. Besides spreading word about the school and the op- portunity it gives autistic children, Kuzecki is also mak- ing an appeal to the public to help him meet the costs of the tuition for a child in the school, which can run upwards of $25,000 annually. He has been able to meet the expensive costs for his daughter's special education through previous appeals to the Jewish community. Talking to Miriam before she went to the school in Japan was like talking to a wall, Kuzecki said. "Now, she's much more aware, and she understands a great many things. For exam- ple, she really understands when you tell her to go upstairs and bring your shoes down, have a seat at the table or, if she's dropped something, to pick it up and put it in the trash." The problem, Kuzecki says, for him and others is that his Gershon Kuzecki insurance will not cover the costs of the school because it is not a hospital. Yet it is the school, and not a hospital, which can help his child, Kuzecki said. "WE'VE ALSO tried to get governmental and organiza- tional help, and none of these sources has really come across. So we've had to go out and try to raise the funds to keep her in the school because it is real- ly helping her. This has been very difficult. We have three other children who are healthy to take care of." Because of their child's il- lness, Kuzecki said he and his wife learned about many op- tions for treating autistic children. One year, his wife went to a national autistic con- vention in California, and there were represented pro- grams from all over the world. "This one (the Japanese school) by far seems to be the very best," Kuzecki said. "They feel that the autistic child, through his education, Scholarships For Young Artists America's most talented 17 and 18 year olds will be vying for $3 million in scholarships, $400,000 in cash awards and the chance to be named a U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts through the national 1987-88 Arts Recognition and Talent Search (ARTS). Sponsored by the National Foundation for the Advance- ment in the Arts (NFAA) and administered by Miami-Dade Community College, ARTS is the only national program to recognize young artists in all arts disciplines dance, music, theater, visual arts and writing. ARTS is open to all 17 and 18 year olds, whether they are in high school, attending college or out of school. Interested young artists have until Oct. 1 to apply. A portion of the $35 application fee may be waived, depending on eligibility. ARTS applica- tions are available at high schools, or can be obtained by writing or calling ARTS. can become independent, but other people we come in touch with really don't believe that. Other parents who have autistic children, especially young ones, should definitely look at this school. You must have the child in a very in- tense, specialized autistic pro- gram such as this one, or the child will grow up not being able to do much of anything." KITAHARA'S Mushashino Higashi Gakuen School, as the program is called in Japan, teaches autistic children in small groups of up to 10 with one or two teachers. This is to avoid a dependence that can be fostered in a one-on-one ap- proach. Once the child has mastered basic social skills, he or she is transferred into a larger class with normal children. Vigorous activity is what transforms the students from the "shell of autism, according to Dr. Kyo Kitahara. Once the shell is broken, she believes, intellectual progress and the blooming of often exceptional talent is possible. Music, drama and a wide variety of arts are used to draw the children's potential. Vigorous activity is what transforms the students from the "shell of autism, according to Dr. Kiyo Kitahara.

"Honestly speaking," he said, our daughter is in a situa- tion where if she doesn't get to go into this program then who knows what will happen to her?"

In a special teleconference call with 12 Jewish newspapers around the country on Wednesday, Stein also explained why the UJA was making a rare move into the political scene of Israel by opposing the "Who is a Jew" legislation. A major portion of the UJA funds come from Conservative and Reform Jews, yet the "Who is a Jew" bill that recently was defeated by the Knesset would have denied a convert Jewish status in Israel unless they were converted by an Orthodox rabbi according to strict interpretations of halacha. "In America, it's a very, very key religious issue," Stein said. "In Israel, it's a key political issue." A UJA delegation visited Israel to discuss this issue with top Knesset members, Stein said, not to "use the hammer of money and say if you dont' do this we won't give you money." but to inform key political leaders of the "seriousness of the issue." The delegation was received well. Stein said, and plans to return to Israel within the next few weeks "to get this religious hot potato in America off the political table" in Israel. "We are also encouraging Knesset members who don't understand pluralism to come to America." Stein said. "What they think of pluralism is a rabbi and priest together under a chupah performing a wedding. That is not pluralism. We need a place where they can get together in a retreat setting and unders- tand how (American Jews) have differences but share the great love of Judaism." When asked if it was a basic change for UJA from a role of collecting money to getting in- volved with Israeli issues. Stein said, "I believe we have to be involved in issues of mainstream Judaism. I think our constituency expects more than that." He added that UJA has no plans to withhold funds over this issue. As for the UJA's general campaign this year, Stein said that as of Aug. 13, the fund had raised $652.1 million com- pared to $585.4 million on this date last year, which represents an 11.4 percent in- crease or $66 million. Stein said "communication" bet- ween UJA officials and local communities has been the key to this success. Stein said he has logged over 225,000 miles visiting local Jewish Federa- tions as well as visiting Israel six times and Jews in the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Poland and England. Drawing on his own ex- perience as a retailer and phar- macist, Stein explained that you have to be sensitive to the needs of the communities. Looking to the future. Stein said, the UJA has sponsored a number of retreats for young men and women in leadership and he agrees that it is impor- tant to involve young Jews in the organization. The retreats have also been provided for campaign chairman and com- mittee members. "The results of the retreat has been, number one, a significant increase in their own commitment to the cam- paign. And in a constant ex- change of ideas we continue to move ahead in meeting needs and anticipating needs." On Sunday, a "Concorde Mission" will leave for Israel, with travel on the ultra- modern iet making the trip reduced to six and a half hours "This year we hope to have close to $40 million in fundrais- ing from this group."' Stein said. There also will be mis- sions for other groups ranging from $100,000 donors to $500 donors. Soviet Jews are a major con- cern of the UJA, Stein said. Addressing the issue of the Soviet policy of "glasnost" or openness, Stein said. "(Soviet leader Mikhail) Gorbachev, of all the Soviet leaders of recent memory, is one of the smartest and most politically astute. I believe he is using the Soviet Jews as a bargaining chip with the U.S. government and he is a very capable, able, cunning Soviet leader who has in fact it on his agenda to let out enough Jews to get what he wants." Stein said he has seen "no major changes" in the Soviet policy regarding refuseniks and asserted that there were more Soviet Jews in forced labor camps under Gorbachev. "I don't trust him," Stein said. "He has no concern for human rights." On the other hand, should a large number of Soviet Jews. as well as Ethiopian or other blocks of Jews be allowed to emigrate to Israel en masse, the UJA would have to go into a contingency plan to boost the facilities such as absorption centers. "If we could improve the situation of those who make aliyah. we could improve the numbers who go to Israel rather than the U.S." Stein said. Absorption centers and im- migration takes up about lil percent of the l.IA budget. Rural settlements account for about 19 percent, research. 2h percent, youth aliyah 17.1 per- cent and vocational training, five percent. About 8.2 per- cent goes toward interest on the Jewish Agency's borrow- ing debt which has been reduc- ed from about $650 million to $450 million. FEET HURT?

Alex Shagin, now of Los Angeles, has designed two medals commemorating the U.S. Constitution in honor of its bicentennial. One is a multi-sided design whose outline matches the drum engraved on its reverse side. Upon the drum lies the parchment reading, "We, the People of the United States," with drumsticks resting on top. On the flip side is a man in early American clothing with open mouth as though declar- ing liberty, and bearing a flag with a semicircle of stars curv- ed around the date September 17, 1787, the day the Constitu- tion was completed. CALL IT MY drum medal, and I felt like we have to drum up the meaning of the docu- ment that moved the modern era, modern society, modern history, and influenced all civilized countries in the last two centuries," Shagin, 40, said. "But above all, I wanted to show a man, a town crier an- nouncing that event, as if he is crying, 'Citizens, listen, something is happening around here that is going to shake up the entire world and affect our future." The other medal is even more intricate. It shows on one side a group of delegates to the Constitutional Convention, in- cluding George Washington. Benjamin Franklin and James Madison. The reverse depicts three Colonial figures with d rum. flag and the Constitution. In the early 1970*8, Shagin was considered one of the Soviet Union's most gifted young artists. He was graduated from the Vera Muchina School of Art and Design in Leningrad, then worked at the Leningrad Mint from 1973-77. There he prepared the designs for many of the coins that were later issued to commemorate the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. BUT FEELING deprived of creative and Jewish freedom, Shagin applied to emigrate 10 years ago. He was immediately dismissed from the mint and denied a source of income for the 14 months he waited for permission to emigrate. In 1979, Shagin left the USSR in the big wave of Soviet Jewish emigration and settled in Los Angeles. His first job in Los Angeles was in the jewelry business, then in graphic design and journalism. He was a co- founder of An Almanac Panorama, which serves the Los Angeles Soviet community. His first break in medallic art came in 1981 "from the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, for whom he designed the "Wall-Builders Medal" dedicated to those who provided funds for construc- tion of the federation's head- quarters. Since then he has received a half dozen commis- sions from the Federation, in- cluding award medals that depicted the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah and Micah. HE HAS also designed com- memorative medals depicting Maimonides, Sigmund Freud, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Simon Wiesenthal, Albert Einstein, Anatoly Sharansky and Elie Wiesel. Shagin grew up knowing lit- tle about Judaism. He said his grandmother spoke Hebrew and Yiddish, and was brought up in the Jewish religious tradition, but not so his parents. They in turn kept Shagin "totally unaware of my Jewish culture. They wanted to protect me against anti- Semitism, especially in the 1950's, in Stalin's last years, when it was virtually impossi- ble to teach a child anything Jewish. So it was a process of eventual assimilation into Soviet culture," he recalled. "My artistic career didn't allow me anything of the Jewish cultural values. So when I decided to enter the professional world of visual arts, I knew I would be con- stantly very closely watched by ideological bosses, by my artists' union and by mint authorities." He said those restrictions combined with the Six-Day War inspired him and his friends to emigrate. So how did he even begin to envision the giants of Jewish history? "To bring me to a recovery of my Jewish roots, I spent a lot of time trying to reeducate myself, trying to learn more about Judaica, tradition and history," he said. HE ENROLLED in many local Jewish education pro- grams. "I'm not very far away from the level of the beginner, but I felt like you don't have to dig very deep," he said. "Your Jewish background eventually will show itself off? Shagin said that in his work with Judaica subjects, "I always feel like I am enriching myself. Especially since I'm a great admirer of classical art, and I feel like the best Jewish artists in art history for me in my particular case are Michelangelo and Rembrandt, who weren't Jewish. But they gave me a lot of inspiration in how. can I visualize, materialize my visions for Jewish history and Judaica subjects." The Constitution medals were designed in consultation with New York Times numismatic editor Ed Reiter. A cast bronze example of the drum medal, of approximately two by three inches, costs $87. The medal is hand-finished, numbered and personally signed. Israel Bonds Bonos de Israel______ THE MEDAL portraying the signers of the Constitution is round, about two-and-a-half inches in diameter, and weighing five ounces in pure silver. This medal is available in both proof-like and antique- finish forms, costing $115 each. Shagin has also designed a sepia-ink litho-print of a group of Constitutional Convention delegates, priced at $50. A set of the litho-print, bronze medal and one of the silver medals costs $200. Each medal is ac- companied by a certificate of authenticity signed by Shagin. Orders and inquiries should be sent to Shagin, 1319 Havenhurst Drive, Suite 1, Los Angeles, CA 90046. f WANTED ISRAEL BONDS BEFORE MATURITY For our boat prlcM Call Harold A LI twin (305)531-2223 1-800-330-1818 LITWIN SECURITIES INC. 761 Arthur Godfrey Rd.

"Who belongs to your minyan? "Zoberman, who has been pleasant, even warm until now, suddenly stiffens. 'Oh, that I can't say.' " THE AUTHOR points out early in the book that Poland was both paradise and hell. "Poland was a paradise because for nine centuries there were no pogroms, and Jews who had been disinherited and persecuted elsewhere found secure asylum in Poland, and long possessed an autonomy that was close to sovereignty. "This bore fruit in a great flourishing of civilization and spirit. Here arose one of the most powerful currents of Jewish religion, Chassidism; here giants of literature, thinkers, reformers, scholars, and politicians grew up and worked. "Poland was a hell because this is the land of the Holocaust, a cursed place marked with the stigma of crime. And even though that crime was planned and carried out by the Germans, its shadow fell upon the country and the people who were its witnesses and, what is worse, who did not always sympathize." THE PHOTOS introduced the viewer to intimate insights as the project gained momen- tum, and the author and photographer became more entwined in the Jewish community. There is a picture of a Jewish mother with a small child, a sight the authors say is rare in Poland. There is another woman eating matzah by herself in a sparse kitchen. There is one phcto that shows nothing but thousands and thousands of aging shoes piled next to each other on the grounds of the Auschwitz- Birkenau death camp, where more than four million people were gassed, shot, hanged or tortured to death. AS NIEZABITOWSKA ap- proached the Jewish communi- ty, she had received everything from a warm welcome to a peep through a door and an urging to go away. When she was allowed en- trance, she used her own knowledge to probe her way into the Jewish soul and psyche. She got one woman, Leiba Fiksman, to confide that her husband had died, and now she is the "last Jew in town." She falls silent and then adds, after a moment: "I am left alone not only in this town, but alone in the world. Thev are all gone, all dead." Then Fiksman turns to Niezabitowska and asks her through her travels to find so- meone whom she can share her life with. "This book is about some forgotten people," says Tomaszewski. IT IS important to let people living in the United States know that Poland still has Polish Jews. "Because of this book, we had people write let- ters, even fly to Poland to meet some of our friends. There are some small founda- tions that were created after the book was published to help raise money for monuments, synagogues and cemeteries. We have over 400 Jewish cemeteries all over Poland. Most of them are in very, very bad shape. "We didn't finish the story. The story still goes. There are still some people, Jewish peo- ple, who need help in Poland." , Friday, August 21, 1987/The Jewish Floridian Page 7-B M latgorzata Niczabitowslca was born in Warsaw, Poland. After graduating from Warsaw University with degrees in law and journalism, she worked as a reporter for Kul- tura, a leading Polish periodical. She resigned because of tightened censorship and only re- turned to journalism to become a regular con- tributor to Solidarity Weekly, which was closed upon the advent of martial law. She has recently been awarded the Nieman Fellowship for Journalists at Harvard University. T A or .omasz lomaszewski is one of Poland's leading photographers. He has been exhibited in major one-man and group shows both in Poland and throughout western Europe. Along with Malgorzata, he was a reg- ular contributor to Solidarity Weekly until it was shut down. Malgorzata and Tbmasz are married and live in Warsaw with their daughter Maryna, who is eight.

Page 10-B The Jewish Floridian/Friday, August 21, 1987 IKcw School Tear Begi "s By ALISA KWITNEY Jewish Floridian Staff Writer The first day of school can mean many things to a child. It can mean a chance to be reac- quainted with old friends, meet new ones, and be a welcome change from the long, hot. lazy days of summer. It can also be a cause of great anxiety, particularly if the child is new to the school, or has had trouble fitting in and being accepted by his or her classmates in the past. How can children make the new school year a fresh start? The Jewish Floridian asked this question of teachers, child- care professionals, and the real experts the children themselves as back to school is just ahead. "SOME KIDS develop a real fear about going to school," warns Susan Rubin, clinical director of Miami's Jewish Family Services. "Kids may resist, cry, and be unhap- py about leaving home. Parents should understand this, but should also set clear limits, and not encourage this behavior by giving in to it com- pletely," says Rubin. "Especially if the child is go- ing off to school for the first time, the anxiety can be as great for the parents as for the child. It's a big step for both," she adds. There can be many reasons why a child is frightened of starting the school year. It could be the fear of a new and unknown place, or a child might worry about being able to handle the work in a new grade. Another cause of anxiety might be uncertainty about fit- ting in socially; children are notorious for being cruel to a child who for some reason or another appears different or strange to them. "KIDS SHOW you if they are having problems at school through their behavior," ad- vises Rubin. "They might practice delaying tactics in the morning before leaving home, even develop somatic symp- toms such as headaches, and so on. "Try to find out what is hap- pening at school that is caus- ing the particular problem, whether it's a problem with the teachers, the other kids, or school work," she instructs. "For example, a child with a learning disability, such as dyslexia, which makes it more difficult for a child to learn to read, might be ridiculed by )ther children," says Rubin. But children must learn to expect a certain amount of teasing in the school environ- ment. "One of the things you want to teach your child is how to ignore teasing. If a child does not react to provocation, there is no reason for the other child to continue taunting." Helen D.

Susan Rubin, clinical director of Miamis Jewish Family Ser- vice, acknowledges that beginn- ing school can cause as much anxiety for the parent as for the child. RUBIN'S ADVICE to parents whose children are starting a new school is to have the family visit the school in advance so as to orient the child. "It might also be helpful to identify another child who might be going to the same school and could walk with your child. Parents should help their children find at least one or two friends in the beginn- ing," advises Rubin. This may be accomplished by "encouraging activities where your child can meet a friend with common interests, and by inviting other children home after school or on the weekend." The biggest problems that children may have, however, are their parents. "When parents are having problems, and they put the child in the middle, the kids have a lot of trouble handling it," Rubin cautions. CHILDREN WHO have trouble handling their pro- blems may become aggressive and act the part of the bully at school, or they may become withdrawn and isolated, and wind up becoming an outcast. or the class scapegoat. "If your child is breaking in- to games, trying to lead all the time, and can*t stand losing, you might prepare him or her with alternate behaviors to try," suggests Dr. Michael Fish, a child psychiatrist with the Child Psychiatric Center in Miami, and the Counseling Care Center in Fort Lauderdale. "If on the other hand, your child is excluding him or herself from games out of fear of rejection, try to find an ac- tivity that taps into one of the child's strengths, rather than one which pushes at his or her weaknesses," Fish urges. Individual, rather than team sports, might be options for a non-athletic child; non- sporting pursuits in areas that the child excels in are also esteem-building possibilities. FOR BOTH the overly- aggressive child and the withdrawn, overly-reclusive one, a structured school en vironment might be best. Lois Pataky, a teacher at Hillel Community Day School, sug- gests that children refrain from judging who they think their friends will be and won't be on the very first day of school. "A structured environment would probably be good for such children because it doesn't give them as many decisions and possible mistakes to make," says Fish. "And parents can help a lot by teaching young children through playing games with them. Parents can teach children to focus on interac- ting, rather than solely on winning." One problem fairly common to children is having an older or younger sibling who is a "star," an excellent student, athlete or creative talent, and is therefore very popular at school. "IT'S IMPORTANT for parents to work with the other child on his or her strengths, and to reinforce them. Parents shouldn't minimize the 'star' sibling, but they shouldn't set that sibling up as an example, either." Fish advises Fish also suggests the following Do's and Don'ts for the first day of school Do: Sit back a little and observe before jumping in and approaching a group 0f children. Approach one child in the group who looks most recep- tive. Test the waters by asking for advice or directions, Let the child introduce you to the group. Groups tend' to unite against strangers in their midst, so it's best to begin with one-on-one. Think what you have to of- fer in the way of abilities, and see what the group values. Don't: Withdraw and give up try ing, or wait for someone to ap- proach you. They probably won't. The other children will think that you have no self- confidence, and children respect self confidence. Try to act too cool or be too aggressive. Children quickly see through bravado. Don't try to stand out too much, or act the clown during class; don't outshine the other kids in the group.

"You don't know whom you want ; friendly with yet, so don't make snap judgments about whom you like and whom you don't like. (Jive it time."

If your child is too shy to speak up, you have to let fhe teacher know if your child las trouble hearing or seeing Ifrom certain seats," Pataky Recommends. PATAKY urges children /ho are having difficulty with fche workload or who find their pchoolwork too easy to speak up. "Maybe the child needs a dif- ferent class or some alter- native forms of education," ays Pataky, adding that her ['final advice to parents is to be contact with the teacher all le time. Don't wait for a pro- blem to develop." Parents can also stay involv- with their children's educa- tion by asking them about leir day at school, discussing Reading assignments with lem, and repeating questions jut things like multiplication ibles, which need to be lemorized, according to *ataky. Varda Adar, who teaches nd and 3rd graders their lebrew and Jewish subjects at lillel's day school, stresses the ipact that the teacher can ive on a child's social stan- Jing with his or her peers. "I TALK about incidents rom my childhood, how I used bully children and then met lem years later and felt ter- ribly guilty. I tell my students try and think ahead, ecause you can never tpke >ack what you do or say," says Vdar. "With younger children, I llso use role-playing a lot. I set ip a situation so that the child in more or less experience /hat it feels like to be bullied . or discriminated against," Vdar reveals. Children from South imerica and Israel often suf- fer from l>eing discriminated [gainst, she adds. This can produce a poor self Jmage, and a child with low self-esteem may wind up becoming introverted and lilent in classes. Or he or she Both 7-year-old David Klein (left) and 10-year-old Rachel Klein share their experiences and adince on how to make the new year of school a fresh start. may become a bully, in an at- tempt to get attention. SEVEN-year-old David Klein knows all about the pro- blems a child from a foreign country can endure. "I knew a boy who was ac- ting very nasty, making fun of people, and using bad words," recalls David. "He was a new kid, and he didn't speak English. He used to punch people, because he was scared. Very scared. Then, one day the teacher gave him paper to draw a pic- ture, and he drew such a nice rainbow that people liked him more," I sat next to him at lunch after that, because he sat alone," David says. Although it is not good to become aggressive and bully other children because of in- security, it may be just as bad for a child to reveal that in- security, and act vulnerably. Children often respond to fear with cruelty, as nine-year-old Mickey Abraham knows. "I DON'T show that I'm scared inside," says Mickey. "I take that scared and put it in- side me, and then go about do- ing my homework, raising my hand in class, and I try to be myself." Minding one's own business and being friendly is an almost fail-safe way to make friends in the adult world. In grade school, however, few children will escape without being teas- ed sometimes.

"They want you to be sad, because they think that if you are sad, they're happy. If you don't act sad, they walk away." And if he were to get angry, his tormenters would most likely redouble their efforts, Mickey observes. ANOTHER useful technique for ending a bout of teasing is to try to get the other people onto your side by turning the situation into a game, accor- ding to Mickey. "Sometimes kids call me names, and they say things like, 'you're a potato.' So I try to play along and say, 'I'm a potato? Well, how do I taste? Am I a brown potato or a sweet potato?' Mickey reveals. Humor can save a bad situa- tion and prevent it from escalating. Benjamin Andron, 11, recalls seeing three boys playing by a pool while he was on vacation in Egypt. "Two of the boys were mak- ing fun of the third boy, saying to him, 'no girls in the pool,' Benjamin remembers. "I went over, even though I didn't know them, and said, 'Well, I guess we'll all have to get out of the pool, then.' " ANOTHER TIME. Ben jamin was with a group of Jewish children when an older girl began to make fun of the kids. "Then she called me a name, specifically, and 1 said to her, 'so we have something in com- mon,' says Benjamin. "I like to show that I'm starting out Strong, but that I have something even stronger behind it." Benjamin has something much stronger than a mere put'down behind him. His lather, Michael, isalith degree black belt Karate master Yet Benjamin, far from pick me, fights, says that he has "always been a peacemaker. I don't know how I do it, but my remarks don't make people sullen and mad, but makes them ease down. It's impor- tant to let people know that you're the boss of a bad situa- tion," Benjamin contends, "but do it with humor." HALYE ABRAHAM, 12, stresses the importance of tak- ing cues from other kids in a new school in order to fit in and make friends. "There was this girl who was new t<> the school, and she talked about where she used to live before she came to our school and about her younger brother all the time. Everyone else talked about movies, clothes, and what they did on vacation, so they thought she was a little weird. "She didn't really go up to people to talk to them, either, so no one talked to her. You got the feeling she would rather have been back in her old school," says Halye. Have something interesting to talk about, don't always talk about the same thing, be outgoing and involved with things at school, Halye advises. But if people give out signals that they do not want to be friendly, don't push them. "You can't make people like you, so stay away from the people who don't," Halye counsels. RACHEL KLEIN. 10 years old, says that she thinks "that a lot of kids are just mean. They don't care enough to be nice, they feel they have enough friends already. But there's always room for more friends," says Rachel. Approach the people in a class who look friendly and try not to overreact when people are nasty to you, Rachel advises. "I sometimes feel uncomfor- table with one or two people, and it makes me feel like everything is bad, I'm the worst at gym, and it's only me that is wrong," she admits. On the subject of peer pressure. Rachel says that "you need to say to yourself, 'I don't need to do this because other people do it.' A lot of girls in my grade wear makeup to parties, and they say that I should wear makeup, too. "My mother thinks I'm too young for makeup, and at first -Continued on Page 12-B Benjamin Andron, 11, uses humor to ease him through tense situations. a**40^ .<"**!: jlH**1 YP Qua ^l** on itfoff ill* *%*>** qo eu ;VCTS PfQ# arr*s .

August 21, 1987 Hebrew Academy The Hebrew Academy will offer students a course in Human Sexuality this fall, a new addition to the curriculum that school officials said was related to tin- AIDS scare in America. The course will be offered to 10th and 12th grade students. Jessica Schultz, assistant prin- cipal of the junior and senior high school will be teaching the course primarily from a biological view and Rabbi Yossi Heber, principal of the Academy, will teach the course from a biblical, and halachic perspective. "The issue of sex education became very critical as a result of the AIDS scare in America," Heber said. But while leading scientists and physicians have recom- mended the use of condoms during sexual relations, Heber said students at the Academy will be advised against their use. "The use of condoms is against Jewish law unless specific rabbinical approval is given as a result of medical complications," Heber said. According to Schultz, the course will encourage students to join discussions on topics such as saying no when pressured by peers. The course will also touch upon physiological changes teen- agers go through, a woman's pre-menstrual syndrome, and the role, beauty and significance of sex in the Jewish home. Such a course might pose problems in a public school, Heber asserts, because, he says.who would be the judge of which values to teach students. That problem will not occur at a school like the Academy, Heber says, because "in a Jewish parochial school the values are intrinsic."

But then I decided to believe the people who told me that my face was pretty enough without it," Rachel recalls. IGNORING CRUEL remarks is necessary, accor- ding to Rachel. "If other kids tease me for speaking up, I'll think, 'I'm not showing off. I'm doing what I'm supposed to do in school. If the teacher asks me a ques- tion, I'm going to answer it right,' Rachel asserts. Besides, adds Rachel, why worry about what the other people in your class say? "Real friends stay with you no matter what," she sagely concludes. Beginning school in the fall is an exciting, frightening, necessary step which almost every child has to take.

Sinai Academy Sinai Academy of Temple Sinai in North Dade has recently become the first Liberal Jewish Day School in Florida to be accredited. Rabbi Julian I. Cook, the school's director, proudly announced that the Florida Council of In- dependent Schools (FCIS) had recently completed its evalua- tion of the school and accepted it into full membership status. FCIS is one of the largest state accrediting agencies for private schools in the country, with over 100 member schools. While accreditation of private schools is not man- datory in Florida, Sinai Academy has chosen to met the challenge of measuring itself not only against its own standards of excellence, but also against those of a deman- ding parent organization. Sinai Academy, an elemen- tary school encompassing Kindergarten through Sixth Grade, will open for its seventh year this Fall. Noting the school's relative youth, Mr. John Cotton, chairman of the Evaluation Team, commented that Sinai Academy gave the impression of being mature and accomplished beyond its years. In particular, the facul- ty was praised for creating a warm, nurturing environment for children and stimulating caring interrelationships among students.

Children are required to be immunized against polio, measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis. "Although it seems that no one has these diseases any more, some diseases are ac- tually on the rise," stated Henry Janowski, director of the HRS Immunization program. "For example, measles has occurred in many areas of Florida over the past year. Measles can be very harmful, causing hearing loss, pneumonia, and, in some cases, mental retardation or death." Immunizations are available through private physicians or local county public health units. "As the school yuear ap- proaches," Janowski said, "lines at the health units get long and doctors' schedules may be booked. We hope peo- ple will call to schedule an ap- pointment today so they don't leave their children unprotected" Miami 33180 947-1959 Affiliation: Torah U'Mesorah. Grades: Nursery/Kindergarten.

He also is an at- torney who represents many members of United Fathers, an organization of divorced or soon-to-be-divorced fathers who want equal rights when it comes to child-rearing. Sometimes a divorced father will not pay child support or have an interest in taking care of his children after a divorce. It is those kinds of fathers that United Fathers frowns upon because, as one member said, they spoil it for the fathers who want to have a say in their child's religious, educational and financial development. WE PROMOTE parental responsibility and involve- ment," said Genet, 38. "The fathers generally are not treated equally in the court system in the regard to custodial rights of their children." I'nited Fathers was in- strumental in lobbying the Florida state legislature to adopt in 1982 the Shared Parenting Responsibility Act. That Act helped reduce the almost certain chances that the mother would receive sole custody of the child. It also gives a father access to all his child's records in school and a shared respon- sibility in raising the child, whereas before that, respon- sibility was primarily given to one parent.

The meetings also include guest speakers who discuss issues ranging from child psychology to legalities involv- ed in divorce proceedings. Several times a year, the organization, which is non- denominational, holds demonstrations in front of the Dade County Courthouse, with signs that have slogans such as "Fathers have rights to children too," and "Children need both mother and father." GENET SAYS he became involved with the organization l>ecause he is interested in children and children's rights and parental access "Notoriously in Florida. mothers control the children, and therefore when fathers are divorced from mothers, their real participation is generally limited. "The Shared Law is help toa lot of people, and when you're dealing with people who follow the law. you have no problem." says Genet.

Florida 33160 Telephone (305) 931-3010 the custodial parent and the father who has visitation. There's no rapport." THE traditional argument that a mother is more fit to raise a child than the father does not fly with Genet. "There are many fathers to- day who would be more fit than mothers," he says. "What we have is women to- day who are using drugs, drinking, just like some men. Women have the same social problems that men have, the same work problems that men have." As an Orthodox Jew, Genet also believes that divorces are necessary "in hopefully a limited amount." The Shared Responsibility Act and other strides toward more equal footing for divorc- ed parents have caused "substantial changes" over the years. Genet asserts. "You get a reasonable amount of fairness from a lot of judges. The problem is, we're not close to equal." That is because the mother still gets primary care of a child in 90 to 95 percent of the cases, Genet says. He won't use the word "discriminatory" because that is a constitutional term, he says. Genet prefers to view the situation as "inappropriate."' GREENBERG and Genet agree that the "deadbeal dads." the term for a father who won't pay child support, puts a crimp on the positive image that I'nited Fathers is trying to create. "United Fathers is an indica- tion socially that we are having more and more divorces. And these are not fathers who split. These are fathers who want to take care of their children and provide a reasonable amount of child support." Greenberg moved from Brooklyn to Miami in 1972 and was married here around 1973. He got divorced in Dade ll ty in 1980. The couple had one daughter who is now almost in years old. "1 WENT to go for ;, divorce and was told by my attorney that I stood no chance of gain- ing custody of my daughter and that the very best I could do was have a couple of days' visitation during the week. Prior to the divorce, I always took care of her because my ex wife works from early mor- ning until late at night." He only gained visitation rights with his daughter one or two days a week and went back to court to have that legally moved to four days a week, Monday through Thurs- day. Now, Greenberg says he is back in court trying to gain full custody of his daughter. STAR LAKES BEAUTY Orthodox thul* across street. Bus tervlca lor shopping. 2 BT. 2 Bath. Immaculate.

Dear Nomi: I've met a wonderful woman who likes all the same things I do; cooking French cuisine, playing chess, and listening to Classical music. She even seems interested in my hobby breeding poodles and wants to get involved. My problem is this; she wants to get married. I have recently become divorced and would like to wait at least a year before contemplating marriage. She says that she wants to know whether or not she's wasting her time, because she wants marriage and a family before it's too late (we are both in our mid- thirties). I don't want to lose this woman, but 1 don't want to move too quickly, either. What should 1 do? Signed, Not Readv For Wedding Bells Dear Not Ready: It sounds to me as if you would consider marrying this woman given enough time to be certain of your connec- tion with her. If this is true, maybe the two of you could consider the coming year a sort of tentative ene:a^re- ment period. Hut you should make clear to her that you need this year to explore the relationship, and that you cannot guarantee anything; a lot can Happen in a year. Also, a \ear of waiting is pro- bably a good idea for her. as well. She needs to discover whether or not she wants to marry you. or whether just wants to he married. Yours. Nomi Dear Nomi: M wife is Jewish and 1 am not. and we have decided to raise <>ur children according to her faith, not mine, I think that this is a very large com- promise on my part, but one I willingly, l i ligion is more important to my wife than it is to me. But now that my wife is ac tually pregnant, 1 realize thai although I have no qualms about having our child raised to he Jewish. I do not want a son of ours circumcised. It is an unnecessary operation which is potentially dangerous (I have heard of mishaps) and which cuts down on a man's sensitivity. My wife is adamant that she wants this ritual mutilation performed. Have you any ad- vice for us? Sincerely. Covenant Shy Dear Covenant Shy: First of all, I am not an expert on circumcision, but my im- pression has always been that when a surgeon per- forms the operation, it is almost perfectly safe. Some surgeons are also mohels, (the Jewish functionaries who traditionally perform the rite.) Secondly, I have not heard anv reports of circumcision cut- ting down on a man's sen- sitivity, and for years this operation was performed on almost all male babies born in the United States, so if sensitivity were an issue, I am sure that it would have been investigated by now. But even though some people, including doctors, arjrue that circumcision is beneficial in terms of hygiene and preventing in- fection, there is no question that it is not a necessarv operation in terms of health or bodily welfare. The reasons for it are religious, traditional, cultural and spiritual. A male child will have troubles if he is raised as a Jew but remains uncircumcised, which is why many Soviet Jews opt to have the opera- tion even though they are already past the ajje where the procedure is relatively painless and trauma-free Consult with your wife ami speak with doctors, rabbis, and other parents of your acquaintance who decided for or against cir- cumcision.

"Thou shall set the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the [curse upon mount Ebal" (Deuteronomy 11.29). RE'EH IRE'EH "Behold, I aet before you this day a blessing and a [curse: the blessing, if ye shall hearken unto the commandments of I the Lord your God, which I command you this day; and the curse, lif ye shall not hearken" (Deuteronomy 11.16). When the Israelites lenter Canaan, six tribes are to stand upon Mount Gerizim and Ibless all those who will keep God's commandments, and six tribes [are to stand on Mount Ebal and curse all those who will disobey God's commandments. Sacrifices are to be offered only in the place that God shall choose. He who wishes to offer a meat crifice which he may eat, and lives too far from the proper place f offering may slaughter the offering in his own house, but it will not be considered a sacrifice. He must be careful not to consume my of the blood. Those who incite others to idolatrous acts are to exterminated. The portion goes on to state the rules defining Burity and impurity in regard to animals, fish and foul the basic ritual dietary laws. The portion also contains the rules regarding kithes, money moratoria, a prohibition on interest, and regula- tions regarding the Hebrew slave, the first-bom of animals, and he three pilgrim festivals.

He was 80 years old. A former First Deputy Foreign Trade Minister, he was one of 14 people, 11 of them Jews, forced to confess to treason and espionage dur- ing the 1952 trial. Loebl and two co-defendanh were sentenced to life ; prisonment. The rest J! hanged. After serving years, he was released anri named director of ik, Czechoslovak State Bank ii Bratislava in 1963.

He taught economics and political science at Vassa College in upstate New Yor5 from 1969 until he retired i 1976. Cabinet Decision Sparks Protest JERUSALEM (JTA) - There were protests and demonstrations by workers at the Jerusalem District Elec- tricity Company following the Cabinet's decision to restrict JDEC's operations exclusively to Arab consumers. The Cabinet approved, by a vote of 15-5, the recommenda- tion of Energy Minister Moshe Shahal to reduce the scope of the debt-ridden JDEC's opera- tions so that the company would cease serving the new Jewish suburbs of Jerusalem and West Bank Jewish settlements. THESE WILL now receive their electricity directly from the Israel Electric Corporation (IEC), the government-owned Israeli power monopoly. The .IDEC will confine itself to sup- plying Arab sections ofl Jerusalem and the West Bank [ the Cabinet rejected an alter native proposal that the JDEcl be closed down altogether. The company will be re-l quired to dismiss some 350 o.'| its staff of more than 500.1: | will be required to purchase i*- of its electricity from the IEC Hitherto it has generated five] percent of its electricity, anril purchased 95 percent from the I IEC. The five percent capacity] will henceforth be used in| emergencies only. The JDEC is the largest cor- poration in the administered I areas, and its staff is widely reputed to include politically! radical elements among its leadership. The company1! fate, therefore, has long been seen as a political as well as[ economic problem. 28840 Greenfield Kd. Oak I'ark.

If you want a traditional Jewish funeral, then you want a family-owned funeral chapel. ri if m Levitt-Weittstein is; Riverside is not! Levitt-Weinstein Memorial Chapels has been Jewish family-owned-and- operated for over 4 generations. Presently there are 7 Levitt and Weinstein family members licensed as Jewish funeral directors. The tradition continues. However, Riverside is operated by the Houston public conglomerate, SCI. They also own over 300 non- Jewish funeral homes in the U.S. and the National Cremation Society, and are traded on the New York Stock Exchange. But at Levitt-Weinstein... the Jewish tradition continues. "Family-oumed" should be mean- ingful and beneficial to you: Our family serves you on a sincere, personal level. We have more Jewish funeral direc- tors than anv other major funeral chapel in Florida. We respect the Sabbath; we conduct no services on Jewish holidays. We offer unequalled service and value. And foremost... our primary com- mitment is to the families we serve. Remember... there is a Mr. Levitt. There is a Mr. Weinstein. There is no Mr. Riverside. The tradition continues.
