DaD/dpa/ Brunswick Museum: Testament to German Jewry By SIGRID SCHWARZWALD BRUNSWICK (DaD) The Jewish Museum, a new depart- ment at the Brunswick Landesmuseum in the north of the Federal Republic of Ger- many, is a significant new ven- ture based on what may well have been the oldest Jewish museum in the world. In the first half of the 18th century Alexander David, 1687-1765, an agent to the Duke of Brunswick, built up a collec- tion of Jewish art and ar- tifacts. Much of his collection survived the persecution of the Jews in the Third Reich and still testifies to Jewish life in days gone by. An outstanding exhibit is the restored interior of a synagogue, the social center of the Jewish community where Jews prayed and the Torah * Jewish fkjkiirtr Phon: (305) 373-4605 Published weekly every Friday since 1927 by The Jewish Ron dun Office and Plant 120 N.E. 6th St., Miami, Fla. 33132.

Religious objects hold pride of place in the collection of Judaica at the Brunswick museum, but a wide range of objects and documents testifies to the whole gamut of German Jewish life over the past 200 years. They include a silver pointer used to read the portions of the Torah, so that they were not touched by hand. Other valuable exhibits are a Torah roll and curtain with a dedication dated 1770 and Hebrew manuscripts and printed works. Prayer or- naments such as the prayer coat and cord are further centuries-old features of Jewish religious ritual. Other artifacts testify to Jewish holidays, such as the shofar, a ram's horn sounded to mark the Jewish New Year festival. The first post-war work by Jewish artists at the nearby Bergen-Belsen concentration camp deals with the Holocaust (which the artists themselves survived) in the Third Reich, Tens of thousands of Jewish detainees were killed at Belsen during the Nazi reign of terror. The Brunswick Landesmuseum sees its role as more than merely collecting and keeping testimony to Jewish culture, religion and history and scientifically evaluating its material. It aims to disseminate knowledge about Judaism and the leading role it played in German culture, thereby contributing toward tolerance and understanding. Reform Argue Galut-Diaspora JERUSALEM (JTA) - The 99th annual convention of the Central Conference of American Rabbis ended here with a spirited defense of the principle that one can be a true Zionist without living in Israel. The CCAR is the rabbinical organization of Reform Judaism in the United States. Its convention created a stir here, and an angry reaction from some government circles, when the rabbis delivered a letter to Premier Yitzhak Shamir deploring "the policy of deliberate beatings ordered by Defense Minister (Yitzhak) Rabin as beyond the bounds of Jewish moral values." The protest was against the Israel Defense Force policy of pursuing and beating Palesti- nian demonstrators in the ad- ministered territories. In re- cent weeks, the policy has been greatly modified to forbid us- ing beatings to punish demonstrators after a riot takes place. Rabbi Eugene Lipman president of the CCAR, stated in his address that it is not necessary to live in Israel to be an authentic Zionist. Rabbi Si- meon Maslin of Philadelphia differentiated between galut and Diaspora. "Galut is not a place, galut is the abandonment, willingly or unwillingly of the Jewish mis- sion" and therefore, authentic Jewish life in America is not necessarily galut, he said.

April 1, 1988/ Page 3 Extreme Measures for Land Day By HUGH ORGEL and GIL SEDAN TEL AVIV (JTA) The Israel Defense Force sealed off the West Bank and Gaza Strip for three days to prevent an- ticipated disturbances linked to Land Day from spreading into Israel proper. Israeli Arabs assured the authorities they would main- tain order on the Palestinian day of protest Wednesday marking the 12th anniversary of the expropriation of Arab lands in Galilee. But an extraordinary blockade was enforced in the administered territories, where Arab-orchestrated riots have continued for nearly four months. There was a general ban on travel between the ter- ritories and Israel proper. The West Bank and Gaza Strip were closed military zones. Reporters were not allowed into the territories without special permission and needed to be accompanied by an escort of IDF officers. Residents of the territories were not per- mitted to leave them via the Jordan River bridges, though the bridges were open for entry. Israeli Arab leaders earlier assured the government that Land Day would be marked peacefully as long as Israeli police did not enter Arab towns and villages on the occasion. The assurances were given as President Chaim Herzog, Premier Yitzhak Shamir and Police Minister Haim Barlev urged the Arab population not to resort to violence. Shehade Shehade, an Arab priest who heads the National Committee for the Protection of the Land, organizers of Land Day observances, pro- mised there would be no disturbances as long as the police stayed away. But in response to Herzog's call, "Jewish guests" were to be welcomed in Arab villages to demonstrate Arab-Jewish coexistence, Shehade said. Six Arabs died in the violence that erupted on the original Land Day, March 30, 1976, when the Israel Defense Fonv expropriated Arab- owned lands in Galilee. Since then, there has been a tacit understanding that the police would stay out of Arab population centers during the annual observance and the Arabs would refrain from disorderly conduct. Israel to Cooperate On Iran-Contra Investigation By DAVID FRIEDMAN WASHINGTON (JTA) - Israel has signed a secret agreement with the special prosecutor in the Iran-contra affair, pledging Jerusalem's continued cooperation in the investigation on a "government-to-government basis,' it was announced here. The agreement was signed recently and approved by the Israel Cabinet, according to a statement made by the Israel Embassy. "The government of Israel and the independent counsel expressed their hope and desire that with the attain- ment of the agreement their cooperation will continue in ac- cordance with the agreement to their mutual satisfaction," the statement said. "The terms of the agreement are classified." Although the embassy would not go beyond the statement, the agreement apparently "leans that Israel will turn over to special prosecutor Lawrence Walsh the same in- "rmation it presented to the congressional committees that lnvestigated the secret sale of arms to Iran and the illegal use t profits to fund the wicaraguan rebels, known as cntra. wlsh angered the Israeli government last year when he cr'ed to subpoena David Kim- che, the former director general of the Israel Foreign Ministry, and Al Schwimmer, a businessman with dual Israeli-American citizenship who was instrumental in the transfer of U.S. missiles to Iran. The Israeli government threatened to cut off all cooperation with Walsh. Israel has stressed that the involve- ment of any Israelis in the shipment of arms to Iran was on behalf of the Israeli govern- ment and not individuals. Throughout the Iran-Contra investigation, Israel has been reluctant to allow any of the Israelis involved, inside or out- side the government, to be questioned by the United States. However, it did allow some of them to be questioned inside Israel. The Israeli government also has provided written information to the various probes on the affair. It was not clear whether the agreement between Walsh and Israel would include written replies to questions from the Israelis involved in the case. Nor was it clear whether the Israeli information would be used at the trial of the four persons already indicted as a result of Walsh's investiga- tion: Rear Adm. John Poindex- ter, former national security adviser; Lt. Col. Oliver North, Continued on Page 22 Two-year-old Jamal Heacock, the son of teacher Roger Heacock from Philadelphia who is currently living in Ramallah, walks his bike down a street as an Israeli Army patrol passes by.

APAVide World Photo Shuttle Diplomacy On For Shultz By DAVID LANDAU JERUSALEM (JTA) - Cabinet sources seemed at a loss to explain what U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz hopes to achieve on his upcoming return visit to the Middle East, having failed on his two previous visits this month to sell his peace package to the Israeli and Arab leadership. Shultz's trip, announced by the U.S. State Department, is set to begin Sunday. After hearing a report by Premier Yitzhak Shamir at the weekly Cabinet meeting, some top Israeli policy-makers said they could not understand the purpose of-the visit, unless Shultz has new ideas or facts he has not yet shared. Barring that, his intention may be nothing more than to demonstrate the American ad- ministration's determination to maintain the momentum of its peace initiative, they said. The sources said they have no indication that Shultz made progress in his talks in Washington with Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze. The super- powers remain at odds over the proposed international conference. Moscow wants a conference that would be the centerpiece of Middle East peace negotia- tions. Shultz's idea is for an in- ternational umbrella for direct Arab-Israeli talks, with no power to impose solutions or veto agreements. Shultz so far has received no response to his peace plan from the Arab states, except Egypt, which supports it. The Israeli government is divided between the Labor Party, headed by a foreign minister who backs the American in- itiative, and Shamir and his Likud bloc, which vehemently oppose it. The cool response to the news that Shultz was return- ing to the region was not shared by the Laborites, who welcomed his trip. Shamir, however, reiterated his objec- tions to Shultz's idea. Shamir Stands Firm By DAVID LANDAU JERUSALEM (JTA) - Premier Yitzhak Shamir pic- tured Israel as standing firm against the Palestinian upris- ing and efforts to maneuver it into unacceptable diplomatic scenarios, despite a hostile press abroad and signs of faithlessness by the United States. In a statement to the Knesset opening a political debate, Shamir offered a dour assessment of developments since his return from the United States and the an- nouncement that U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz will visit the region again, starting April 3. But he spoke glowingly of the American Jewish com- munity, which he said has "come out in their masses to express support and solidarity Continued on Page 22 Page 4 The Jewish Floridian/Friday, April 1, 1988 Viewpoint Next Year in Jerusalem When the Passover seder ends with the mes- sianic wish for "Next year in Jerusalem ..." there is the Diaspora hope that peace and freedom will be known across the varied lands in which Jews live. This year, that catch-phrase will have special emphasis and meaning for Israeli and world Jewry. There will be no seder table that will not be marked, implicitly or explicitly, by the events ongoing in Greater Israel. That the season that marks our freedom as a people is blemished this year by the conflict between two Semitic peoples each seeking its homeland can only br- ing into sharper focus the import of Passover. The symbolic leavetaking of bondage that we, the children of that earlier generation, re- count this weekend, will be interpreted on a variety of levels. The renewal of life, of spring and modern symbols of an ancient Temple sacrifice all suggest the positive hope that this period of unrest will soon end. The bitterness of the maror cannot be lost on the recurrent battle for the homeland, the Jewish state, that needs be won again and again and again. And the "tears" of salt water are spilt for any life lost, on any side of the "green line." The individual characters of family celebra- tions are melded into one seamless ceremony by the communal dream of freedom, expressed for the 3,300th year. And for that significant commemoration, Diaspora Jewry can do no less than continue to work for those who are not yet free, in the Soviet Union, in Ethiopia, in Syria.. . And, to hope, that next year in Jerusalem, there will be peace. AJCongress Anniversary Seventy years after Rabbi Stephen S. Wise helped to found it, the American Jewish Con- gress remains one of the most outspoken and effective defense organizations in the nation. Created to help press for the rights of thousands of displaced Jews in the wake of the First World War, AJCongress voices an agen- da for Jews embracing human rights, religious liberty and civil rights. A strong ally of the Zionist Movement in ad- vocating the establishment of the State of Israel, Congress recently broke with the tradi- tion of mainstream American Jewish agencies in publicly urging the Israeli Government to seek peace through an international conference. At its 70th annual national convention in Philadelphia, delegates overwhelmingly en- dorsed their leadership's decision to support the Shultz-Reagan peace initiative endorsed by Israel's Labor Party. In Florida, AJCongress represents a Jewish family in the small Panhandle town of Crestview who seek to have religious practices of the local school district ended. Nationally, the organization took a promi- nent early role in the fight to reject the nomination to the Supreme Court of Judge Robert Bork, supported the passage of the Civil Rights Restoration Act and spoke out forcefully against Pope John Paul IPs meeting with Austrian President Kurt Waldheim. Rabbi Wise would be proud of the ongoing efforts of an organization which is one of his major legacies to American Judaism. s/TA -Another Jackson Coalition- Michigan's Democratic caucus results of last weekend touched off speculation on two separate fronts. The Reverend Jesse Jackson's decisive victory more than 50 percent of the popular vote for the moment ended talk that Governor Michael Dukakis is the inevitable presidential nominee of his party. It also ended the aspirations of Rep. Richard Gephardt, whose blaze of glory rolled steadily downhill after his Iowa triumph. The Reverend Mr. Jackson also addressed a gathering of "Arab Americans for Jesse Jackson" at the Islamic Center of America in Detroit only hours before the Michigan voting. A photograph of Jackson with his arm around Imam Mohamed Chirri was distributed na- tionally by the Associated Press, and included in the pictures made available to Anglo-Jewish publications which are eligible to reproduce AP photos. Thus Jackson not only chose to solicit sup- port from the large Arab American population in the Detroit area, but also may have decided to write off the Jewish American vote in Michigan and in remaining key primaries such as New York, California and Pennsylvania. His decision to so openly court the Arab Americans at the Islamic Center, even though his address merely stated that peace is at- tainable in the Middle East, evoked bitter memories of his campaign four years ago. Jackson's efforts to place his closeness to PLO Chairman Arafat and to Minister Farrakhan in the past seemingly not are over. It will be interesting to see if the seemingly small segment of liberal Jews who have joined Jackson's "Rainbow Coalition" stands silent in the face of what must be regarded as a major policy decision on the part of one of the Democrats' two biggest vote-getters and delegate winners to date. And those Democrats who are the biggest workers, contributors and fund raisers for their party around the nation, and also are Jewish, also will be looked to for reaction. Even silence has untold significance in the days and weeks ahead towards a convention which may acutally select the nominee after the gavel drops for the first time. Jesse Jackson Anschluss Commemoration Reveals Austria By RABBI MARC H. TANENBAUM The observance this month of the 50th anniversary of the Anschluss, Nazi Germany's an- nexation of Austria, is reveal- ing the worst and the best of Austrian society. The worst is reflected in the appalling fact that for the*past 40 years most Austrians have imagined themselves the "first eJewish Floridiati Fred K.

But the historic truths brought to the fore during this com- memoration can no longer be denied. When Hitler and his Nazi hordes marched into Austria on March 13, 1938, they were greeted deliriously by some 200,000 Austrians* in Vienna. Austria provided three- quarters of the death-camp of- ficers, including Adolf Eichmann and SS Commander Ernst Kaltenbrunner. Bitter political anti- Semitism was incubated by Vienna's Mayor Karl von Lueger in the 1870s and other politicians, and heavy traces of that pathology remain. But the best of Austria is also surfacing today. Young Austrians by the thousands are holding vigils- demonstrating for Waldheim s resignation and spoMOTO seminars on Austria's Nazi past. And most reassuring is the leadership of Chancellor Franz Vranitzky. who em- bodies the now democratic Austria. Vranitzky gave mean- ing to the Anschluss, on Marcn 12, in these words: we "We must never forget and -e must insure there i- nothing in today's society U could lead us into an abyss, *> happened in 1938."

DeMille's film "The Ten Com- mandments," I can't help but wonder how the Hebrews could lack faith. Don't you think that after witnessing contemporary ver- sions of the Passover miracles vou would have faith in God? What if drinking fountains ran red with blood, or the sun did not come out during the day? What if you were driving down the freeway during rush hour and the cars ahead of you were suddenly pushed aside, allow- ing you to pass? Instead, we do lack faith to- day. We are cynics, though probably not any more than our forefathers who lived in Egypt. Some people say that we have reason to be cynical because we are living in the generation after the Holocaust. But I ascribe to the belief that rather than cite the Holocaust as proof that God does not exist, I see the miracle of Israel as evidence that God does exist. Think for a moment about the probability of fruition of Theodor Herzl's 1897 declara- tion that the Jewish state would arise within 50 years. It was not inevitable that the Jews would have a state, despite what the conspiracy theorists would have us believe. It was not the alleged power of the "Jewish lobby" that con- vinced President Truman to support the creation of a Jewish state. When Eddie Jacobson became Harry Truman's best friend he did not know that his haber- dashery partner would become president of the United States. When the British partitioned Palestine, it was not at all ap- parent that one day the Jews would rule the land. Couldn't the creation of Mitchell Bard is a foreign policy Israel be considered a miracle? analyst living in Washington. We are quick to lament Israel's economic problems, the threat of terrorism, the damage to U.S.-Israel rela- tions from the Pollard es- pionage affair. But we are even quicker to forget the staggering accomplishments of this small country in its brief, 40-year history. Since its creation on May 14, 1948, Israel has prevailed in its six wars, usually outnumbered and outgunned. The pioneers who settled in Palestine turned malarial swamps and desert sand into an oasis of agriculture and in- dustry. While most young na- tions languish in poverty and delayed development, Israel has become one of the most technologically advanced societies in the world. During most of its early years, Israel's economic growth rate exceeded that of all other industrial nations, in- cluding Japan! Today, Israel is recognized as a leader in energy and agricultural technology and its people en- joy a standard of living far greater than that of the other newly independent nations. The Jewish people still have problems. There is still anti- Semi ism and intermarriage. And Israel still has problems. Her neighbors, with the excep- tion of Egypt, still want to destroy her and there are ten- sions within the country. Just as the memory of the miracles that God performed in Egypt quickly faded, so, too, have the modern miracles fad- ed from our consciousness. The murmuring of the people grows louder with each new settlement and each devalua- tion of the shekel, but we must not allow our current dif- ficulties to obscure the distance we have traveled since we first left Egypt or the distance that remains. An Israeli soldier gives television camera crews orders to leave an area near a mosque in Ramallah, where a violent demonstration took place. The army has recently been closing off many areas to the press and this week ordered the entire West Bank and Gaza area sealed to the public. AP/Wide World Photo The Media As Messenger; An Israeli Dilemma By ASHER NAIM In recent weeks, the media has focused much attention on the disturbances in the ter- ritories. This press coverage has, in turn, focused attention on the media itself. The graphic descriptions on the pages of newspapers and magazines, and especially the violent scenes that are daily portrayed on TV screens around the world have pro- mpted judgments on the basis of immediate impressions. Some of the reporting and editorializing has been balanc- ed and has sought to place the events in perspective. However, most coverage has been excessive in playing up certain specific aspects of the events, while often ignoring others. This out-of-context reporting has dismayed many Israelis who feel that Israel is receiving superficial and un- fair treatment. The issue is be- ing debated at length in Israel, and representatives of the media have taken part in such discussion. The subject, in- cluding the role of the media in an open society such as Israel, has also been addressed abroad. The following points are worthy of consideration in ad- dressing the media's role in the recent events: 1. Israel is a democracy, an open society where freedom of the press is cherished. The Israeli press is an active com- ponent of a free society, and all viewpoints find expression. Alongside the local media, 350 resident foreign cor- respondents are permanently posted in Israel, while 250-300 visiting correspondents, not counting crews, are now in the country on temporary assignments. In terms of foreign correspondents, only the two superpowers host more journalists. Members of the media in Israel may go Continued on Page 23 Contemporary Interpretation Plagues of Our Time By RABBI WILLIAM BERKOWITZ For most people, what is past is past, never to be heard or seen from again. However, for Jews, the past is eternally present. Yesterday is found in today and they are both the in- troduction for tomorrow. Nowhere does that reality become as boldly clear as in the Passover experience. The entire seder ritual is an exam- ple of the past as present. For this Jew, living in 1988, the ten Plagues inflicted on an- cient Egypt are a striking in- stance of this reality. While the Haggadah relates tne plagues as happening thousands of years ago, the careful observer will nonetheless notice their Presence in our midst, confron- ting us with their power, and caning for our response. Let us examine the plagues: Blood One does not have 0 look too far to see the ^emendous violence confron- ting our world, whether in the street of our cities or on the battlefields where wars rage. The most frightening prospect is the nuclear annihilation that continually hangs over our heads. Frogs The Jewish com- mentator S.R. Hirsch saw the ancient plague of frogs as a way of disrupting the homes of the Egyptians, driving them out of bed and board, thus making them sense the Israelite condition of homelessness. Our society con- tinues to struggle with the moral crisis of the homeless in our cities. How do we help them? How must our govern- ment respond? And how should the Jewish community react? Vermin This plague was the one of small insects that conveyed a sense of constant nuisance. Who needs to cite the constant nuisances of modern urban life? Wild beasts The Jewish community is increasingly con- cerned by the recurring presence of anti-Semitism and bigotry, bearing witness to the bestiality in humankind. The growth of neo-Nazi and other racist organizations seems even in this post-Holocaust era to have resulted in greater hatred and violence against Jews and minorities. Pestilence Thisplague of infectious diseases affected an- cient Egypt's animals and livestock. And as they died, the food supply was disrupted. Passover is when we remember "all those who are hungry." Even in our world of plentiful, food surpluses, millions still go hungry each night. Boils Not long ago, a vic- tim of AIDS recounted how at a Passover seder he wept at this plague, identifying it with his own malady. AIDS is kill- ing thousands. Hail Passover 1988 will be remembered as a time when Palestinian rioters bombarded Israeli troops with a hail of stones. Who would have believed it could cause so much death, grief and anguish for Jew and Arab alike? Locusts Traditional com- mentators have seen in the locusts that darkened the horizon of Egypt a metaphor for confusion and inability to see clearly. Americans who have watched television news reports of Palestinian riots have been plagued by confu- sion and a lack of clarity, which has caused much harm for the Jewish state and the Jewish people. Darkness A famed Hasidic rabbi explained that the plague of darkness was that "people could not see their brothers and share their needs." In other words, the darkness was disunity. As we survey the Jewish community, the battles between religious and secular, Orthodox and non-Orthodox, Israel and Diaspora serve to divide us, weakening our resolve and threatening our future. Death of the first born The final and ultimate plague was the loss of Egypt's first- born children and thus the call- ing into question of its future. As the Jewish community grapples with the issues of a low birth rate, intermarriage, alienation and assimilation and Jewish illiteracy, it must remember that the ultimate plague is that which destroys our future as a community. The Haggadah reminds us that in each and every genera- tion there are those who would destroy us, but that God saves us. Our tradition also declares that God could not split the Sea of Reeds until someone jumped in the water. While God will ultimately save us. each and every Jew must resolve to fight the rag- ing waves which threaten us. Rabbi William tierkouitz is national president of the American Jewish Heritage Committee. Page 6 The Jewish Floridian/Friday, April 1, 1988 By RUTH E. GRUBER ROME (JTA) The rediscovery of a pro-Hitler, anti-Semitic letter by pre-war Italian physicist Ettore Ma- jorana has added to the mystery surrounding him. Majorana, who disappeared without a trace in 1938, was one of a group of young Italian physicists who, working with Enrico Fermi, initiated studies on energy that eventually led to the development of the atomic bomb. At least two books have been written about Majorana's disappearance, with one author claiming the physicist either committed suicide or entered a monastery due to guilt after realizing the poten- tial destructive capacity of the atom. Majorana was doing research in Leipzig, Germany when he wrote the pro-Nazi letter to future Nobel physics laureate Emilio Segre, in March 1933 two months after Hitler came to power. In 1966, physicist Edoardo Amaldi, who had worked with Majorana and Segre in the 1930s, mentioned for the first time that Majorana had great- ly admired Germany and had written to Segre to defend Nazi policies. Segre in 1975 confirmed he had received such a letter, but claimed that it was lost when the ocean liner Andrea Doha sank in the Atlantic. U.S. Denies PLO Meet By YITZHAK RABI NEW YORK (JTA) A report that the U.S. am- bassador to the United Na- tions met in Tunisia with a senior leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization was denied by the envoy, Vernon Walters, as well as the State Department and the U.S. Mis- sion to the United Nations. CBS News reported that Walters met a PLO leader in a private home in a coastal town near Tunis, the Tunisian capital. CBS attributed the in- formation to top PLO officials. Walters, arriving in Geneva to address the UN Human Rights Commission, categorically denied the alleg- ed meeting. "I deny it, it is a lie. I have not met a PLO representative in Tunis. I am not authorized to speak with the PLO," Walters said in response to questions by reporters here. He added: "It's absolute nonsense. I never saw anybody in Tunisia but Tunisians and Americans ... No Palestinians." In Washington, Charles Red- man, a spokesman for the State Department, said the CBS report "is a complete fabrication. Somebody's been had." The U.S. assured Israel in September 1975 that U.S. government officials would not meet or negotiate with members of the PLO. However. Andrew Young, then U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, held a 15-minute meeting with a PLO official in New York in 1979. He subsequently resigned under pressure. Mystery of Missing Physicist Adds Intrigue to Nazi Letter Only in recent months has Segre admitted that the letter still was in his possession. It will be published in full in the magazine Storia Contem- poranea (Contemporary History), but the newspaper La Stampa printed excerpts. Publication came when con- siderable attention has been focused on Jews in Italy in the wake of the continuing clashes in Israel's administered ter- ritories, in reaction to the Kurt Waldheim affair, in response to shifting relationships bet- ween Jews and the Vatican and in a re-examination of the Jewish experience in Italy dur- ing World War II. American historian Susan Zuccotti's book on the Holocaust in Italy is just being issued now in Italian transla- tion and is being treated as a major literary event. Majorana's letter to Segre, dated May 25, 1933 from Leip- zig, was an apology for Hitler's anti-Semitic policies and a defense of the Nazi philosophy, with which the writer ap- parently knew his friends were not in agreement. He wrote: "It may appear that the pro- portion of Jews in Germany is tiny in light of the false statistics (one percent). "In reality, they dominate finance, the press, the political parties and in Berlin they were even in the numerical majority in some professional fields, for example, prosecutors. But neither religious motives nor racial prejudice is enough to explain by itself the im- possibility of coexistence. "In Italy we are used to con- sidering the Jews as a historical survival to which we do not deny our full respect and we don't object if any of them feels proud of his origin," he wrote. "... In Germany, the situa- tion was very different and, without analyzing the causes, one can say with certainty that there existed a Jewish ques- tion that did not show any signs of resolving itself spon- taneously," he continued. He said "Jews had no desire to assimilate and that it's in- conceivable that a population of 65 million should allow itself to be guided by a minority of 600,000 who openly declared that they wanted to constitute a people by themselves." "Some affirm that the Jewish question would not ex- ist if the Jews knew the art of keeping their mouths closed." Majorana also wrote that the situation of the Jews in Ger- many at the time was not as bad as it seemed from outside, and he accused new Jewish im- migrants into Germany "the dangerous Jewish immigration from primitive communities in Slavic countries, mainly Poland" of fomenting troubles. ' Among those new jm migrants are provocateur rah- bis who, so they say, invite persecutions in order to solidify the unity of their neo pie," he wrote. |W In making public the letter Segre said he had been surpnj! ed that "a mind as acute and critical as that of Ettore could have accepted all that pro poganda of Goebbels he read in the newspapers, without realizing that even if some of the criticism (very few) were not completely without f0Un. dation, the entirety had an ini- quitous and sinister scope and were only a prelude to terrible horrors." He said he previously had not made the letter "public because he did not believe Ma- jorana would have wanted to see it in print.

The mass resignation of some 300 police officers seem- ed to have struck some parts of the Palestinian political com- munity as going too far, leav- ing the streets to the rule of the underworld. An influential Palestinian, Dr. Haidar Abdul Shafi, the head of the Red Crescent in the Gaza Strip, went as far as to say that the resignation act should be the prerogative of each and every individual. Some 40 police officers in the Hebron region reversed their earlier decision to resign and showed up for duty. But at the same time, seven Arab officers in the Jerusalem Temple Mount police force an- nounced their resignation say- ing others would follow suit. Local inhabitants questioned on the Voice of Israel Radio said they could do without the Arab police and could take care of themselves further affirmation of rumors that na- tionalist circles are trying to establish in the territories alternative services to those provided by the government. Shmuel Goren, coordinator of government affairs in the administered territories, warned that the defense establishment would not allow any alternative frameworks to operate. The question remained whether the Palestinians would force a showdown, which would probably entail further sanctions by the authorities against the local population. Some of the measures taken by the authorities include reducing the fuel supply to the territories, preventing exports to Jordan, preventing trips to Jordan and visits from the Arab countries to West Bank trouble spots, forcing mer- chants to open up businesses during strike hours and close them during business hours. Nazi Guards Added To Watch List By HOWARD ROSENBERG WASHINGTON (JTA) - The Justice Department asked the Immigration and Naturalization Service to place the names of 9,800 suspected former concentration camp guards on its "watch list." Those individuals, whom the department determined assisted or otherwise par- ticipated in Nazi-sponsored persecution, would be barred from entering the United States under the Holtzman Amendment. The names were compiled from captured war records, post-World War II wanted and detention lists and extradition requests. Neal Sher, director of the Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations, which searches for and prosecutes Nazi war criminals living in the United States, said he ex- pects the list to be broadened once additional archival documents are searched. While OS I has previously supplied the INS and State Department with the names of thousands of suspected war criminals, the listing of 9,800 former concentration camp guards was compiled with the aid of a new sophisticated com- puter database. Sher said in an interview that from now on, OSI's listings of suspected war criminals will be "more systematic" than ever before. He added that preventing alleged Nazi persecutors from entering the United States is an important aspect of OSI's mandate, along with the denaturalization or deporta- tion of those illegally residing here. OSI currently is in- vestigating 700 suspected war criminals, has brought to trial about 70 and has lost just one verdict. TROPICAL GLASS & CONSTRUCTION CO.

By HUGH ORGEL TEL AVIV (JTA) The Israel Defense Force plans to take punitive action against journalists who file what it contends are false reports of events in the administered territories. This was confirmed by the IDF's chief spokesman, Brig. Gen. Ephraim Lapid, who said the measures would be applied against both Israeli reporters and foreign correspondents. But the National Federation of Israeli Journalists has vow- ed to fight any government at- tempt to punish reporters whose copy it dislikes. The federation noted that the IDF has recourse to the Press Council or the federa- tion's own ethics committee if it feels there has been a misrepresentation of facts. But the journalists profes- sional association said it would not allow the government to be "both the accuser and the judge." According to Lapid, the IDF's purpose is to combat what it claims is an increasing number of false news reports from the West Bank and Gaza Strip that do damage to its image. An example cited was a report that Palestinians have been thrown out of helicopters. The IDF spokesman said there is "ab- solutely no truth" to such reports. He said there have been exhaustive investigations of every rumor. The question of local press coverage may become moot if the Press Workers Union car- ries out its announced plans to strike Israeli newspapers "for an indefinite period. The issue is a threat by the Publishers Association to in- sist on separate wage negotia- tions at each newspaper, in- stead of the collective bargain- ing in force until now. German Solidarity Chancellor Helmut Kohl wished Israelis "security and peace for the further suc- cessful construction" of their country in an advertisement by the Christian Democratic Party which appeared in the German-language newspaper Israel-Nachrichten in Tel Aviv.

A spokesman for the or- chestra confirmed the move, explaining that the orchestra "had to review our undertak- ing to the 125 musicians because contractual payments had not been honored." But there seemed to be unspoken political implications. The orchestra was to have played in a performance of Verdi's opera "Nabucco," which concerns King Nebuchadnezzar and the Jewish return from exile in Babylon. The opera ends with the im. mortal "March of the Hebrew Slaves," which was to have been sung in Hebrew by a choir of several hundred British singers. The performance was scheduled to be held at the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem, a symbolic celebra- tion of the "return to Zion." Unless alternative ar- rangements are made. the cancellations will doubtlessly be seen as a gesture of protest against Israel's handling of three months of Palestinian unrest in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. in the Federal Republic also stressed their ties to Israel in ads in the newspaper celebrating "Brotherhood Week" in the 40th anniversary year of Israel's birth as a state. The West German am- bassador to Israel, Wilhelm Haas, wrote that Brotherhood Week commemorated the "unimaginable achievement and untiring commitment of all those without whom Israel never would have become a reality." It is painfully ap- parent at present that the in- ternal and external peace has not yet been won, Haas observed. The Jewish people need peace afer a 3000-year history of persecution "probably more than any other people," he concluded. In a related show of support in Germany, a series of plays, readings and art exhibits con- centrating on the views of the children of both victims and perpetrators of the Nazi persecution of the Jews forms the focus of the 1988 Jewish Literature and Theater Weeks currently being held in Frankfurt. The head of the city's cultural department, Hilmar Hoffmann, declared that the city of Frankfurt and its Jewish community want to "give a signal against the sup- pression and denial of history." The events began with the performance of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel's play The Trial of God.

RASKAS Moses is mentioned but once in a stray passage during the seder service, but nevertheless he is the towering figure of the Haggadah as well as the entire Passover. His lack of emphasis during the seder is for two reasons his rather obvious centrality in this great drama are the con- cern of the rabbis who compil- ed the Haggadah that he might become idolized or worshipped as a deity. Moses' impact is exemplified in the following story. The pro- phet was tending his sheep in the wilderness when he saw that wonderful burning bush. Now, according to the story, Moses turned aside, but then he heard God call his name. "Yes," said Moses. "What do you want?" "Well," said God, "I have good news and bad news for you." Nu, Moses said, "start off with the good news." And God replied: "I have heard the cry of my oppressed people in Egypt. I am going to rescue them. But the Pharaoh will refuse to let them go, and I will have to smite Egypt with terrible plagues: blood, frogs, vermin, cattle disease, boils, hail, locusts and the slaying of the first born. "I will have to drown the whole Egyptian army in the Red Sea horses, chariots, troops everything. But in the end. you will lead the Hebrew people to freedom." "That sounds great," said Moses. "Now what is the bad news?" "You," said the voice from the bush, "will have to write the environmental impact study." Behind this story lies the profound question of why the elaborate scenario? Why did God not directly intervene and take the people out? Why did God leave the decision up to Pharaoh with all its concommi- tant pressure? Why didn't God smooth Moses' way and simply have him lead the people to Mount Sinai? The answer lies in a midrash, a rabbinic story: On- y a few years later, after the Israelites had left Egypt and had received the Torah, they stood on the border of Canaan, ready to invade. It was God's plan that those who had been liberated from Egypt would conquer Canaan and settle the land. But, as the Bible informs us, Jhe recently liberated Israelites backed off, fearing defeat, and were condemned y God to live out their lives in Jhe desert. After they died, weir children entered the Pro- mised Land. why, asked the rabbis, did ^ese former slaves who had witnessed God's great power refuse the opportunity to fulfill * redemption? Why did they 'ear to take the land which ^od had promised them? The answer of the rabbis is simple, basic and classic: "You could take the Jews out of ^gypt, but you can't take Egypt out of the Jews." It takes time to prepare for freedom. In other words, there is a dif- ference between "being freed" and "being free," between be- ing merely released from repression and acting like free independent human beings. God chose to have the Jews wander in the wilderness for 40 years in order to help diminish their slave mentality and to prepare them for the challenges and risks of living in freedom. Indeed, this points out the three sides of the triangle of freedom: physical freedom, in- tellectual freedom and emo- tional freedom. Most important, of course, is physical freedom. In contem- porary terms, this means freedom for the Jews in the Soviet Union and Arab coun- tries, to practice Judaism and to emigrate as they wish. It relates to the freedom of blacks, in South Africa to be treated as equal citizens, to vote, to live wherever they wish. It relates to Afghanistan, which is dominated by Soviet military forces. One could wander the world and discover that freedom is a dream that many cheri.-h, but that so many are denied. All the natures and cultures should remember the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson: "If you put a chain around the neck of a slave, the other end fastens itself to your own arm." Or to put it in more graphic terms: Freedom is like a bag of sand. If there is a hole anywhere in the bag, all the sand will run out. If any groups of people is denied its rights, sooner or later all groups will be denied their rights. Freedom is indivisible: It is for all or it is for none. The second aspect of freedom is intellectual. We can be free physically, but bound intellectually. It is what the Hebrew writer Ahad Ha'am termed "avdut betoch cherut" slavery amidst freedom. This means that unless a minority culture is vigilant, committed and aware, it can slowly slip into the majority culture. The situation of contem- porary U.S. Jewry is an ob- vious illustration of this thought. We must be deter- mined not to be intellectually lazy, but continue tp practice, study and preserve our tradi- tions. The growth of the Hebrew day school, the expan- sion of Hebrew studies on cam- puses, the steady stream of new Jewish books and magazines are assertions of Jewish intellectual freedom. On the other hand, assimila- tionist tendencies are far too many and too obvious to men- tion. They demonstrate that many of us are still in intellec- tual slavery. But the one sure way to keep Jewish intellectual freedom is through Jewish education. A non-Jew was attending a Jewish fund-raising meeting. Afterward, he approached the two Jewish co-chairmen, who were his friends, and asked, "How are you able to raise such a fantastic sum?" One co-chairman replied, "First you start with 2,000 years of persecution." The other co-chairman interrupted him and said, "Wrong. First you start with 3,000 years of education." In persecution there is slavery, but in educa- tion there is freedom. The final side of the freedom triangle may be termed psychological. We live under the constant threat of a nuclear holocaust. We are paralyzed by an inability to handle social problems such as hunger, drugs and crime. Our own personal problems, pre- judices and hang-ups do not allow us to think clearly, much less find peace of mind. Here, too, we must make every effort to free ourselves of our real fears and imaginary phobias. Admittedly, it is not easy, and there are no simple solutions, but we must not give up and we must not give in. Through negotiations, through thoughtful planning and ex- perimentation, through therapy and proper guidance, we can make significant ad- vances toward psychological freedom. If we are determin- ed, it can be done. This is exactly the point of Pesach. We became free Jews over a period of time, not in an instant. The Bible tells us there were moments of dispair some of the wandering Hebrews even lost hope and gave up and wanted to return to slavery in Egypt but those who stuck with it, those who were determined, those who worked at it eventually became a free people. Pesach teaches their legacy and in their ways can we find the promise and joy of freedom. Even though the temptation to return to slavery is luring and beguiling, we must avoid the pitfall. There is an episode that oc- curred shortly after Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipa- tion Proclamation, which freed the slaves. One day, a liberated slave met his former master in the street. The once-master asked, "Are you as well off as you were before you were free?" The black, former slave admit- ted that his clothes were frayed, that the roof of his house leaked and that his meals were nothing like the food on the old plantation. "Well," said the old master, "wouldn't you rather be a slave again?" "No." was the firm reply. "There is a sort of looseness about this freedom that my family and I like." Yes, to be free gives us a cer- tain looseness the oppor- tunity to choose, the chance to be ourselves, the pleasure of expanding our minds intellec- tually and our souls emotionally. The pleasure of freedom is one of the great jobs of being. That is why at the seder we sing the song Avadim hayinu atta bnai chorin Once we were slaves, now we are free. Rabbi Bernard S.

Austrian Accused Of Inciting Bias LONDON The Director General of the Austrian Foreign Ministry on a visit to Kuwait said his country would not bow to "Zionist threats" in the case of Kurt Waldheim. The World Jewish Congress office here denounced the remarks as blatantly anti- Jewish and an effort to divert attention from the condemna- tion of Waldheim's Nazi past made by Austria's own com- mission of historians. "This is a shocking attempt to incite anti-Jewish hatred in an Arab country and a blatant effort to draw attention away from the fact that Austria's own commission concluded that Waldheim had con- tinuously lied about his war- time activities and had per- sonally facilitated Nazi war crimes," the WJC statement said. Last month, the interna- tional panel of historians which handed its report to the Austrian government conclud- ed that during the Second World War, Waldheim "repeatedly assisted in con- nection with illegal actions and thereby facilitated their execution." The Austrian official, Thomas Klestil, the former Austrian Ambassador to the United Steves, quoted the Kuwaiti le.der, Sheik Jaber Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah as exten- ding an invitation for Waldheim to visit Kuwait "with all appreciation and welcome," according to the of- ficial Kuwait News Agency. Waldheim, who was formally banned from entering the United States, has been in vir- tual diplomatic isolation since the revelations of his Nazi past and has received no invitation to visit any Western country. Klestil said that Austria "will not succumb to Zionist threats and pressures to remove President Kurt Waldheim from his office," the official text of the Kuwait News Agency stated.

These were the recommen- dations of experts speaking at the Northeast Regional Con- ference on Prejudice and Violence recently at the Omni Park Central Hotel here, at- tended by 270 people. The conference, which gathered officials of state and city human relations agencies with representatives of black, Jewish, Hispanic, Asian and gay organizations, was organized by the National In- stitute Against Prejudice and Violence. The Baltimore-based institute addresses violence and intimidation motivated by racial, religious or ethnic bigotry. "Imagine," said keynote speaker Gov. Mario Cuomo of New York, "what a miracle this place would be if we could get over the stupidity of racial prejudice, if we could live up to our potential." Rabbi Murray Saltzman of the Baltimore Hebrew Con- gregation and a former member of the U.S. Commis- sion on Civil Rights, blamed the Reagan administration for having willingly abdicated its leadership role in civil rights by stressing a policy of non- governmental interference, in contrast to preceding administrations. "The underlying theme of the new policy was the disengagement of the federal government," said Saltzman, who was dismissed from the commission by President Reagan in 1983. "The motto was not permanent progress, but 'Let's get the government off our backs.' " That policy reduced civil rights to a concern of special interest groups, he continued, allowing for the "reemergence of bigotry, the growth of peo- ple in opposition to harmony, pluralism and the pursuit of civil rights justice." The rabbi said bigotry and violence should be challenged by a "great idea that we don't have to be fearful." He said "It is astounding that the president should threaten a major civil rights legislation with a veto because it's 'intrusive.' The fact is the 13th, 14th, and 15th amend- ments to the Constitution mandated the intervention of the federal government. This administration doesn't seem to understand this." New York City Police Com- missioner Benjamin Ward echoed Saltzman, adding that the police must provide "preventive and proactive" responsiveness in direct liaison to the local communities. Police are being trained in New York to identify and locate specific problems and to then turn them over to the relevant agencies, Ward said. Sally Greenberg, director of civil rights for the Northeast region of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, recom- mended new laws during the workshop on litigation and legislation. "We (at ADL) have developed several pieces of model legislation to counteract those who perpetrate hate crimes by punishing them. We're in a continuing challenge to try to get the state to try to deal effectively with the problem of bias- related hate crimes," she said. Greenberg emphasized the importance of an accurate ac- counting of bias nationwide which she said would be assisted tremendously by hate crimes reporting and ap- propriate punishment for the acts. "There has got to be a law that says to perpetrators of racial violence, 'If you commit a hate crime, we're going to punish you for it.' It's not just a swastika, for example, it's not just a graffiti, it's something far more psychologically dangerous if your punishment will be greater," she said. The increased violence and new tactics of extremist groups was addressed by Irwin Suall, director of ADL's fact- finding department; Leonard Zeskind, research director of the Atlanta-based Center for Democratic Renewal; and Pat Clark, director of Klanwatch of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Zeskind pointed out that since 1982, hate groups have concentrated on a new stratagem that encompasses stalking, surveillance, plann- ing and the use of young peo- ple to perpetrate violent acts. Prior to this, he said, groups Nazi Series Triggers Belgian Protest BRUSSELS (JTA) A storm of protest has been rais- ed here over the broadcast of a three-part television series about Belgium's most notorious Nazi collaborator, Leon Degrelle, who is still a neo-Nazi activist. The first part, aired by RTBF, the French-language television station, featured a 1977 interview with Degrelle, 82, who lives in Malaga, Spain! It was accompanied by com- mentary from historians and World War II specialists. Nevertheless, patriotic groups protested vigorously and the Auschwitz Foundation, an association of death camp sur- vivors, tried to bring legal ac- tion against RTBF, but was stymied by jurisdictional problems. They argued that the series gives a platform to a Nazi who still denies the Holocaust and the existence of gas chambers to exterminate Jews. A Chris- tian Democratic member of the Belgian Parliament, Paul- Henry Gendebien, asked RTBF to cancel the series on grounds that the publicity of- fered Degrelle would trigger a revival of rightwing extremist propaganda. such as the Ku Klux Klan resorted to more haphazard at- tacks without a general plan. Many extremist organiza- tions including the Klan and the Aryan Nations have taken on a new foe. Zeskind said at- tacks on gays have doubled in recent years. He emphasized the need to watch legally sanctioned ac- tivities such as meetings, rallies and politically sophisticated activism. He said there seemed to be a direct correlation between violent hate crimes and gatherings of members of hate groups in given areas, particularly in North Carolina. He said that although the federal prosecution of 14 hate group members in the trial now taking place in Fort Smith, Ark., "certainly made a big dent," a proliferation of underground activities remains. Zeskind cited the Populist Party, an offshoot of the anti- Semitic Liberty Lobby, which has absorbed some of the former members of the Klan. He also urged watching the National Alliance, head- quartered in Phildelphia, and its leader, William Pierce. He wrote "The Turner Diaries," a fictional memoir of a member of a racist, anti-Semitic underground network that perpetrates violent crimes and thereby achieves power in the United States and eventually the world. Zeskind and Suall, as well as other observers of hate groups, feel this work is the basis for the alleged seditious conspiracy for which the 14 Fort Smith defendants are now standing trial and for which other hate group members have been tried in Seattle, Las Vegas and Tucson in the last two-and-half years. Clark, Suall and Zeskind and others during the conference added that it was important to watch the activities of Tom Metzger, former Klansman and former candidate for Con- gress from Fallbrook, Calif. His cable television program "Race and Reason" and use of violence-prone young people, such as Skinheads, appear to be expanding the ideology and methods of the extremist groups, the speakers warned. Alex Rodriguez, chairman of the Massachusetts Commis- sion Against Discrimination, said an effective stratagem would be to cut off funding for communities that ignore bias He emphasized that all cultures have hate crimes "it does not belong to any one group. We are all racists," he said. Speakers in a workshop on educational and community programs called for the crea- tion of programs in which members of different ethnic groups could present their per sonal stories to each other and learn in the classroom what the meaning of American pluralism is all about. "What we have to do now is change the culture." said Rodriguez. Barry University and I he Anti-Defamation league of B'nai B'rith Present The Highth Annual Matthew B.

Rabbi Morton Rosenthal, Latin American affairs direc- tor for the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, said a dozen congregational leaders told him, during his fact- finding mission there, that they feared a recurrence of the events of last June and July. The National Civil Crusade, the Panamanian opposition movement, called a general strike in June, which many Jewish store owners in Panama City declined to honor. Rosenthal said. Although non-Jewish shopkeepers also failed to com- ply, a campaign of anti-Semitic leaflets and death threats followed in July. The rabbi said Crusade leaders tacitly con- ceded to him that members of their group mounted the drive. Rosenthal said the Crusade has since instituted controls to identify fliers that were authorized by their members. The Crusade leaders "assured us that they opposed anti- Semitism and would take steps to stop its recurrence from within their ranks," he added. Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum, in- ternational affairs director for the American Jewish Commit- tee, agreed in a separate inter- view that "Given the history of anti-Semitism there, and the ease with which people move to single Jews out, now it can be much more serious." The AJCommittee assessed the situation based on informa- tion obtained from Sergio Nudelstejer of Mexico City, a staffer in charge of Central American Jewish affairs for the organization who has made several recent visits to Panamanian Jews Fear Backlash Panama's Civic Group Denies Anti-Semitism NEW YORK, N.Y. Leaders of the Panamanian National Civic Crusade have assured the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith that the organization rejects the anti-Semitism that erupted during its general strike in Panama last June and will take steps to prevent a repetition. Flyers distributed by Crusade members during the strike focused on Jewish merchants who had refused to close their shops. Aurelio Barria, head of the National Civic Crusade, and other leaders of the group, gave the reassurances during a meeting in Panama City last week with ADL representatives. The ADL mission found the majority of Jews favor a quick end to the current political and economic crises and a return to democratic government. While investigating reports of last year's outbreak of anti-Semitism, they learned that owners of clothing shops along Panama City's Central Avenue shopping thoroughfare, who are primarily Jews, had been pressured by both sides in the political struggle. When the strike was called, government representatives visited many stores and warned the owners of dire consequences if they closed. When they remained open, anti-Semitic flyers were widely distributed and some Jews received threatening phone calls. Semitism." Rosenthal agreed, however, that there could be no overall discounting of future references to Delvalle's Jewishness. Tanenbaum said that based on the potential for conflict, and the fact, for example, that "Jewish landlords were at- tacked after the Mexican ear- thquake," the AJCommittee had alerted the (U.S.) State Department to "the possibility that Delvalle might be scapegoated." Panama has been politically tense for more than a year, but the situation was exacerbated with the deposal of Delvalle by Noriega.

Tanenbaum said that in addi- tion to Jews' "dispropor- tionate percentage" among the merchant and professional ranks, Jews are involved in various ways in running the Panama Canal. The United States has placed in escrow $7 million earmarked to Panama from canal revenues. Rosenthal said he learned that Jews are cooperating with the Crusade, which supports deposed Panamanian Presi- dent Eric Arturo Delvalle and calls for the ouster of military leader Manuel Noriega. He said that the ADL representatives met with Jewish business people who are "taking a very active role in the Crusade. The Jews are supportive of a return to democratic government." Rosenthal and Tanenbaum differed in their emphasis on Delvalle's Jewishness. The ADL official said that Delvalle attends a Reform synagogue in Panama City, but that "You hear virtually no mention of the fact that Delvalle is Jewish." But Tanenbaum said, "In the face of a crisis, there is no telling if Delvalle's Jewishness might become a focus of anti- Celebrate Passover At Bnai Israel, Passover is a special time.

These restora- tion activities include cleaning of the thousands ofGuastavino ceiling tiles, repair- ing the special plaster on the balcony walls and original tile floors, restoring the heating and lighting systems. Created and protected on the floor of the Great Hall (center) are the original chandeliers which already have been restored. Ellis Island stands as a cons- tant reminder of our young na- tion's immigrant saga. Located just a few hundred yards, north of Liberty Island in New York Harbor, Ellis Island is a monument to the great traditions of freedom and opportunity in America. Ellis Island was the major federal immigration facility in America. It processed 17 million men, women, and children who came to the United States from 1892 to 1954, when the facility closed. This was the largest human migration in modern history, and today, more than 40 per- cent, or over 100 million, of all living Americans can trace their roots to an ancestor who came through Ellis Island. Through the years, Ellis Island grew almost as dramatically as the nation. Its land area expanded from three acres of slush, sand, and oyster shells to 27 man-made acres housing 33 buildings. The land- fill was provided from the ballast of the very same ships that brought the immigrants and from the excavated materials removed from the New York subway tunnels dur- ing its construction. In 1965, Ellis Island was designated part of the Statue of Liberty National Monu- ment, which is administered by the National Park Service (NPS) of the Department of the Interior. Ten years later, Congress authorized funds to clean up and renovate a small portion of the island, but the years of neglect had taken their toll. Ellis Island Restoration In 1982, President Ronald Reagan asked Lee Iacocca to set up an organization, The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, that would raise funds and oversee construc- tion for the restoration and preservation of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island and plan for the centennial celebra- tions of each. The restoration of Ellis Island, which began in 1984, will cost $140 million and is the largest restoration project of its kind in American history. Its scope is comparable to the restorations done on the Palace of Versailles and Len- ingrad's Hermitage. Work is scheduled to be completed in 1989, when Ellis Island will reopen and once again receive millions of visitors from around the world. The Ellis Island Museum The Ellis Island Museum will be the major institution dedicated to the promotion, advancement, and understan- ding of America as a nation of immigrants. The new museum will be located in the 200,000-square-foot Main Building the most historical- ly significant structure on Ellis Island. It was here, in various To our forefathers, the Main Building of Ellis Island, pictured in 1905, represented opportunity, freedom and hope. Today, the ma- jestic brick structures symbolize our country's spirit, heritage and ethnic pride. (National Park Service, Statue of Liberty National Monument) rooms of the building, where new arrivals many fearful of rejection were processed and inspected and ultimately granted permission to enter the country. Many of the rooms are being restored and others are being renovated to meet the needs of the museum. Half of the museum's space will be devoted to telling the story of Ellis Island, and the migrant experience. The Great Hall, with its soaring barrel- vault ceiling and clerestory windows, will be restored to its 1918 to 1924 condition and will be exhibit-free. Reliving the Immigration Experience When visitors disembark from the ferry at Ellis Island, they will find themselves directly in front of the Main Building, standing under the recreated historic canopy the same point where im- migrants began the process towards American citizenship. Upon entering the museum, visitors will walk in the footsteps of their ancestors as they enter a glass-enclosed vestibule that opens to the Baggage Room, where displays and audiovisual pro- grams will begin the re- creation of the Ellis Island ex- perience. Included in this room will be a visitor orientation area, and NPS guides will be on hand to provide museum in- formation, organize tours, and make arrangements for the handicapped. Four Distinct Themes The museum will house four permanent displays that recreate the Ellis Island ex- perience. Displays include: original manuscripts, photographs, and microfiche materials that detail immigra- tion through Ellis Island as well as general patterns of im- migration in the United States.

"The Skinheads An Up- date on 'Shaved for Battle' is a follow-up to an ADL report about the racist youths, primarily boys, who shave their heads, wear Nazi insignia and harass and attack members of racial and religious minorities. Gangs are composed over- whelmingly of teenagers, in- cluding children as young as 13 and 14, according to the report. However, the ADL and others note not all youth who have adopted Skinhead haircut or garb are racist or neo-Nazi, instead wishing only to show defiance of their elders. The survey details the criminal activities in which the Skinheads have been involved in the past four months, in- cluding synagogue vandalism, anti-Semitic graffiti and ter- rorizing or attacking individuals. The revised report claims that 20-25 Skinhead groups operate in 12 states, with a combined membership of bet- ween 1,000-1,500. The report also indicates inactivity in some places where Skinhead activity was previously reported. In the Orlando, FL area, for instance, Russell Penrose, identified as a leader of a Skinhead group, has been con- victed for battery and robbery and other Skinheads have been arrested on weapons charges. In addition, eight Skinheads appeared at a recent KKK rally. Skinheads have recently ap- peared on television programs, such as the "Morton Downey Jr. Show" in New York and the "Oprah Winfrey Show" on ABC. In each case, the youths behaved uncontrollably. After her telecast, Winfrey acknowledged that she "should have listened to ad- vice" that she could not con- trol them on the air, according to Leonard Zeskind, research director of the Center for Democratic Renewal, an Atlanta-based group that monitors racist hate movements in America. At a recent conference here examining prejudice and violence, Zeskind and Suall Appeal on Behalf Of Anne Pollard TEL AVIV (JTA) The Israel Medical Association has appealed to the American Medical Association to ensure proper medical care for Anne Henderson Pollard, wife of Jonathan Jay Pollard, an American convicted last year of spying for Israel. Anne Pollard, serving two . concurrent five-year prison sentences as an accessory to her husband's espionage, is reportedly seriously ill with a stomach disorder. agreed that Skinhead gangs have the potential to attract disaffected youth, chiefly of the working class, who feel malice toward minorities. Harold Applebaum, now retired from the American Jewish Committee, has cited historical precedence for the Skinhead philosophy in the Nazi movement in Germany in the 1920s. Brothers Otto and Hugo Strasser counseled Hitler to develop the socialism aspect of national socialism to appeal to a working-class base. "A lot of neo-Nazis today have discovered Nazism, and they are consciously trying to work to reach the young, white, working-class people," Applebaum said recently, ad- ding that the Strassers' works have been republished. In the latest ADL report, Suall said it was too early to gauge whether the Skinheads will continue to grow or gradually decline. But he add- ed that ADL is concerned that Skinheads are graduating into the network of adult white supremacist groups. The problem extends beyond American borders. The Skinheads seemed to surface suddenly in Euroi* with the death of Rudolph Hess in August. Within two weeks, three major European news magazines reported in simultaneous issues on the same phenomenon.

IDF Arrests Underground Members JERUSALEM (JTA) Israeli security forces have ar- rested the distributors of a leaflet calling for a general strike by Palestinians in the administered territories, Police Minister Haim Barlev announced. He said the detainees, members of the Palestinian na- tionalist underground directing the unrest in the ter- ritories, are residents of the West Bank and East Jerusalem who allegedly support various terrorist organizations. Negotiate, Says Bar Ilan Letter TEL AVIV (JTA) About 620 students and faculty members of Bar Ilan University presented a letter to Presi- dent Chaim Herzog calling on the government to enter im- mediately into peace negotiations with Palestinian representatives. Bar Ilan, a religiously oriented institution in Ramat Gan. is known to have rightwing nationalist elements.

(JTA) Supporters of a defeated sition for this city to twin with a Palestinian refugee camp say they will resubmit the proposal to the City Coun- cil >>r attempt to place it on the November ballot as a referendum. The measure would have established a sister-city rela- tionship with Jabalya, a refugee camp of some 60,000 on the tiaza Strip. It was proposed by the city's advisory Peace and Justice Commission. AIPAC Founder I.L. Kenen Dead At 83 WASHINGTON (JTA) I.L. (Si) Kenen, the founder and former longtime executive director of the American Israel Pubic Affairs Committee (AIPAC)), died of a heart attack at his home here. Funeral services and burial were held in Washington. Kenen, who was 83, began his long career of lobbying in support of a Jewish state in 1943, when he was director of the American Emergency Committee on Zionist Affairs in New York. He was the Jewish Agency's information direc- tor at the United Nations in 1947 and 1948, and then in J949, was a member of the first Israeli delegation to the United Nations. Kenen moved to Washington in 1951 and established the American Zionist Committee to lobby Congress in support i Israel. Three years later the committee became AIPAC, the only official lobby for Israel in the United States. Friday, April 1, 1988/The Jewish Floridian Page 15 Japan Ducks Boycott In Car Sales By DAVID FRIEDMAN WASHINGTON (JTA) - Japanese manufacturers, especially the automakers! want to sell to Israel, but neither the government nor any leading company is willing to openly buck the Arab boycott, according to a Tokyo business magazine. In an article called "Under the Arab Thumb," the March issue of the English-language publication Business Tokyo notes that, unlike the United States and West European countries, Japan has not pass- ed any legislation to bar com- pliance with the boycotts. "Many leading U.S. and European countries called the Arab bluff by continuing to trade openly with Israel," the magazine points out. "They have not, in most cases, suf- fered because of the decision. Japanese companies, however, have not even tried." The magazine says the companies justify this policy by pointing to the problems Japan ex- perienced during the 1973 oil crisis. Japan is nearly 100 per- cent dependent on Arab oil, and if it was cut off, its economy could be destroyed. "This apparently, is ample justification to the Japanese mind to allow them to boycott trade with Israel," Business Tokyo observes. Japanese companies do buy Israeli products, particularly diamonds, with Israeli diamonds making up 25 per- cent of Japan's diamond im- ports, according to the magazine. The article noted that the situation is changing, par- ticularly in the auto industry, where research has shown that Israel could be an important market for Japanese cars. Fuji Heavy Industries Lt., the only Japanese carmaker that ex- ports openly to Israel, sold 20,000 Subaru cars in Israel in 1987. The article goes on to point out that while Arab countries are a good market for the larger Japanese cars, the Israeli demand is for smaller cars. "The Japanese, who ex- cel in small-car production, are eying the market hungrily," according to the magazine. The magazine points out that Daihatsu and Suzuki have sold about 2,000 cars annually in Israel, imported through a third country, and the Mit- subishi Corp. is planning to do the same thing. "Directly or indirectly, it ap- pears that Japanese cars will soon be readily available in Israel," the magazine notes. ^>M- -,1 . Congressman & Mrs. Lawrence J.

Page 16 The Jewish Floridian/Friday, April 1, 1988 ACLU Move to Halt Religious Funding By HOWARD ROSENBERG WASHINGTON (JTA) In a move that could eliminate U.S. government funding of Jewish schools in Israel, the American Civil Liberties Union is attempting to sue the Reagan administration to challenge the constitutionality of providing government funds to sectarian groups abroad. The action arose during the now-resolved controversy sur- rounding the $8 million provid- ed for French Jewish schools under the auspices of the New York City-based Orthodox organization Ozar Hatorah in the $600 billion federal spen- ding bill approved last December. That expenditure, roundly criticized, was later rescinded at the request of its sponsor, Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii). But it was learned during the controversy that the government has been sending tens of millions of dollars over the past decade to religious groups abroad through an Agency for International Development program called American Schools and Hospitals Abroad. The ACLU originally plann- ed to sue to stop the Inouye ex- penditure, but amended its suit to challenge the ASHA program as well. Later, after Reagan signed Inouye's rescis- sion measure, the ACLU again revised the suit to challenge ASHA only. The revised lawsuit argues that such fun- ding violates the separation of church and state mandated by the First Amendment. Should the suit succeed, it would cut off U.S. government funding to various yeshivas in Israel. Since 1983, ASHA has provided $2 million to Ohr Somayach, a girls' affiliate of a Jerusalem yeshiva; $400,000 to Shaalvim Teacher's College; $500,000 to the American Col- lege of Belz, a Hasidic college in Jerusalem; and $750,000 to the Beth Rivka Comprehen- sive School, a girls' school. In the latest development, the government moved in the U.S. District Court in New York to have the suit dismiss- ed. It argued that the plaintiffs do not have "standing" to sue the government because the funding does not impinge on their constitutional rights. C. Edwin Baker, an ACLU attorney, said the hearing on that motion will be held on either March 24 or 31. He add- ed that the ACLU at some point will seek a preliminary injunction to cut off all U.S. government aid abroad to Jewish and Catholic schools. Conservative Women Invested as Cantors By BEN GALLOB The Cantors Institute of the Jewish Theological Seminary i.JTS) voted to admit women candidates for the first time only a year ago February, yet four women already have received diplomas as the first Conservative women cantors and have secured cantorial positions. One's hometown is Pompano Beach and another was elected to serve in Delray Beach. The issue of training women as cantors under Conservative auspices has been debated for years, though with less con- troversy than during debate on whether to admit women to the JTS rabbinical school. But Dr. Ismar Schorsch, JTS chancellor, explained that "ad- mitting women to the Cantor's Institute is simply a further application of the principles applied to the decision to admit women to the rabbinical school in 1983." He said the decision was "both in full accord with halacha (Jewish religious law) and the culmination of a century-long evolution of the status of women under the law." Under that decision, diplomas can be awarded to women who agree to accept the obligation of daily prayer and other commandments obligatory for men. For exam- ple, such women candidates were taught to don phylacteries and to recite the required prayers. Rabbi Morton Leifman, the Cantors Institute dean, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agen- cy that the Conservative can- torial school had been admit- ting women for several years to study for the degree of bachelor of sacred music. In addition, he said, the institute grants advanced degrees to men and women trained in non-cantorial fields, such as musicology. Thus the first Conservative cantorial diplomas awarded to women were retroactive. Maria Rosenfeld Barugel of Merrick, N.Y., and Erica Lip- pitz of Evanston, 111., received their diplomas at JTS gradua- tion ceremonies last May. They also received the degree of bachelor of sacred music. Having enrolled in the Can- tors Institute preceding the decision to grant cantorial diplomas to women, Barugel and Lippitz were interviewed for the degree by Schorsch, Liefman and Cantor Max Wohlberg, professor of liturgy and hazzanut. Two other students at the in- stitute, Linda Shivers of Pom- pano Beach, Fla., and Elaine Shapiro of Waltham, Mass., were later interviewed on the same basis and accepted. Lippitz is serving Congrega- tion Oheb Shalom in South Orange, N.J. Barugel is cantor at B'nai Israel in Rumson, N.J. Shivers is serving Congrega- tion Neveh Shalom in Portland, Ore. Shapiro is serv- ing Temple Sinai, a Reform congregation in Delray Beach, Fla. No other women candidates are retroactively eligible to receive the diploma of cantor from the JTS, JTA was told. No women are part of the senior class of the Cantors In- stitute, but two are in the junior class, three in the sophomore class and nine in the freshman class. Israel Denies Threat To Saudi Missiles By DAVID LANDAU JERUSALEM (JTA) - The reported threat by a top aide to Premier Yitzhak Shamir of a possible Israeli pre-emptive strike to destroy Chinese-made intermediate range missiles sold to Saudi Arabia is seen as ruffling Israel's relations with the United States. Yosef Ben-Aharon, director general of the Prime Minister's Office, denied he had made such a threat, and Premier Yitzhak Shamir lost no time in affirming that denial when he returned to Israel from the United States. The Israeli media reported that the United States has complained about Ben- Aharon's reported remark, pointing out that it hampered Washington's efforts to find a diplomatic solution to the conflict. In Washington, State Department spokesman Charles Redman confirmed Wednesday, "We expressed our concern about those kinds of statements (to the Israeli government). We don't believe that they are helpful." The sale of the 2,000-mile- range missiles to the Saudis was publicly disclosed in the United States. Israeli reporters insist that Ben- Aharon said in a taped inter- view with Voice of Israel Radio in Washington that "Israel has acquired a reputation of not waiting until a potential danger becomes actual." This was a clear reference to Israel's 1981 air strike that destroyed an Iraqi nuclear facility in which, according to the Israelis, an atomic bomb was being manufactured. Israeli military analysts have pointed out that while the Saudi purchase is surely in- tended for defense and deter- rence against Iran, it could have serious repercussions on the Arab-Israeli balance of power, especially after the I ran-Iraq war ends. The analysts noted also that the Chinese-made missiles, the CSS-2, also known as Dong Feng-3, are designed to carry nuclear warheads. The Chinese government insists it has not equipped the missiles it sold to Saudi Arabia with nuclear capability and that it believes the Saudis will keep their promise to use the missiles only in defense. The United States raised no objections to the missile sale Experts at Tel Aviv Univer- sity's Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies have noted that the CSS-2 could create havoc if armed with nuclear warheads. But with conventional warheads they pose little danger. According to the ex- perts, the CSS-2s are obsolete and often miss their targets by as much as two miles. Israeli jet bombers can deliver far greater payloads with pinpoint accuracy. Nevertheless, the CSS-2s are the first intermediate- range missiles to be introduced in the Middle East, Haaretz military correspondent Zeev Schiff wrote, and can be view- ed as a step toward building up an intermediate-range arsenal. Clearly they give the Saudis the potential to make war on Israel and hit population centers. But Schiff thought the Israelis should pay more atten- tion to Iraq's emerging long- range missile capability, an outgrowth of its eight-year war with Iran. The Iraqi missiles can be equipped with chemical weapons. EPA Bars Use Of Nazi Data By HOWARD ROSENBERG WASHINGTON (JTA) - The administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency decided to bar scierv tists from including data on World War II Nazi ex- periments in a forthcoming report on a deadly toxic gas, an EPA spokesman said. The gas, known as phosgene, is used in manufacturing plastics and pesticides, The New York Times reported. It had been deployed as a poisonous gas in World War I by the Germans, said John Kasper, the agency spokesman. He said EPA Administrator Lee Thomas received a letter from agency scientists Monday questioning whether it was ethical to use data from Nazi said he could not recall any doctors, and that Thomas case where Nazi scientific data decided later that day to ex- has been used in an EPA elude the information.

A group of 96 reservists, holding ranks from majors to brigadier generals, sent a let- ter to Premier Yitzhak Shamir urging him to choose peace over holding on to the territories. But 50 other reservists of AJC Pursues Peace Plan PHILADELPHIA (JTA) - Delegates to the national biennial convention of the American Jewish Congress voted overwhelmingly here for a resolution urging Israel to welcome and pursue energetically the new American peace initiative in the Middle East. The resolution, adopted by a show of delegate voting credentials, supports the com- ponents of the peace plan ad- vanced by Secretary of State George Shultz, which include an international conference and, implicitly, the principle of trading territory for peace. It reaffirms the position taken by the AJCongress Governing Council in September 1987 considered unprecedented for a mainstream Jewish organiza- tion which warned that if no political adjustments are made with respect to the West Bank and Gaza Strip, "demographic imperatives will force Israel to choose between becoming a non-Jewish state or a non- democratic state," neither choice being acceptable. The resolution adopted at the convention states that "the status quo in the Middle East cannot realistically be maintained and morally ought not to lie maintained." similar rank met to demand a harder line against Palestinian rioters and leftist Israelis who support their cause. They also urged politicians and the news media to "stop using the army as a political tool and allow soldiers and their commanders to do their jobs as they see fit." The letter to Shamir was almost identical to one sent 10 years ago to Premier Menachem Begin by reserve officers who formed the nucleus of the Peace Now movement. The earlier letter stated that "ruling 1 million Arabs is liable to harm the Robert K.

Jewish democratic nature of the state." The current letter differs only by referring to "1.5 million Arabs." Some 800 other officers, mainly of lower ranks, signed it. Most belong to elite units of the IDF and some hold various IDF decorations and commendations. The meeting of the hard-line officers, who expressed sharp- ly different views, was organized by Michael Ratzon, leader of the Herut party's "young guard." Ratzon called on the IDF to take a tougher stand against Arab rioters to prevent "an in- definite continuation of the disturbances, which would lead to much greater loss of life among the Arabs." Friday, April 1, 1988/The Jewish Floridian Page 17 Israelis Demand Guns for Defense By DAVID LANDAU JERUSALEM (JTA) - There has been an upsurge in applications for gun licenses by the general public, a development linked directly to the continuing unrest in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and the escalation of terrorist in- cursions against Israel. The head of the Interior Ministry's firearms licensing department, Moshe Weiss, said that the ministry's strict licensing policy is under review and may be relaxed. It has generally favored Jewish settlers in the administered territories, while residents of Israel proper have a tough time obtaining a license. Weiss spoke to security of- ficials from northern Galilee, who urged a more liberal policy in the wake of pressure from citizens of that area. They are concerned about re- cent terrorist infiltrations and attempted infiltrations from Lebanon. Gun dealers in Jerusalem report a doubling of consumer interest in firearms. But this has not translated into greater sales, because of the difficulty of obtaining a license. Beer- sheba gun dealers also report rising demand since terrorists hijacked a bus in the Negev, killing three and wounding 10. Publix Joyous Rassover Wishes from Publix.

Arab Boycott Case Ends in Settlement By WINSTON PICKETT SAN FRANCISCO (JTA) Safeway Stores Inc., is claiming a victory in agreeing to pay $995,000 to the U.S. Commerce Department to set- tle charges that the super- market chain cooperated with the Arab boycott against Israel. But an American Jewish Congress boycott expert is calling the record settlement the actual victory as well as further proof that the govern- ment's Office of Anti-Boycott Compliance is doing its job. Peter Magowan, board chairman and chief executive officer of Safeway, based in Oakland, Calif., said the cash settlement, a fraction of the one originally levied, "is a vic- tory for us and in no way con- stitutes an admission by the company that we violated the law." Moreover, he said, Safeway's conduct has been vindicated by the fact "that its practices did not merit the harsh penalties the govern- ment previously sought." Last August the Commerce Department charged Safeway with 449 violations of the Ex- port Administration Act of 1977, imposed a $4.5 million fine on the supermarket chain and sought a two-year suspen- sion of the company's export privileges. Besides reducing the fine in the settlement, the govern- ment dropped its demand to keep Safeway from doing business overseas. Nevertheless, the penalty is the largest of its kind. Will Maslow, AJCongress legal counsel and author of its mon- thly Boycott Report, called the agreement "a victory for the OAC (Office of Anti-boycott Compliance) and shows how strong its case was from the very beginning." The Commerce Department originally charged Safeway with supplying approximately 10 stores in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia between 1981 and 1986 with a list of the company's suppliers, some of whom were Israeli. According to the OAC, that list subsequently enabled the Arab-run grocery stores to boycott certain Israeli- manufactured products. The Arab stores were licens- ed to operate under the Safeway name, but were not owned by the company. Safeway claims it no longer sells products to the Arab stores. Safeway also was accused of requiring one of its wholesalers to submit the names of its manufacturers to an office in Kuwait for boycott clearance and of answering a Kuwaiti government question- naire regarding its relation- ship with Israel and Israeli companies. U.S.-Soviets Fail To Bridge Gaps By HOWARD ROSENBERG WASHINGTON (JTA) - Secretary of State George Shultz said Wednesday night that he and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevard- nadze disagreed sharply in two days of meetings on the struc- ture of an international peace conference on the Middle East. The United States views such a conference as ceremonial and leading to direct negotiations between the parties, Shultz told reporters after 12 hours of talks with Shevardnadze. But he said the Soviets view a conference as having authority to impose a solution. Such a conception "is really sharply different from ours, ' Shultz said. The current U.S. Middle East peace initiative contains a provision for an international peace conference to be conven- ed prior to the first round of direct negotiations between Arab countries and Israel. Under the U.S. formula, the five members of the United Nations Security Council would chair the conference, which could not impose solutions. Israeli Prime Minister Yit- zhak Shamir opposes both an international peace conference that could impose solutions, as well as a purely ceremonial one, while Foreign Minister Shimon Peres supports a ceremonial conference, as con- tained in the U.S. plan. Shamir said that Shultz had convinced him last fall to agree to an international conference chaired by the two super- powers, and said he would be willing to go to Moscow. But such a conference could not impose solutions. Jordan reportedly rejected that idea, insisting on wider in- ternational involvement. 45th Anniversary For Warsaw Uprising By MILTON JACOBY NEW YORK (JTA) Up to 4,000 Jews from some 20 countries are expected to con- verge on Warsaw during the third week of April for obser- vance of the 45tn anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Zbigniew Unger, director of the Orbis Congress Bureau in Warsaw and a major organizer of the convocation, estimated during a recent visit here that Israel would send more than 1,000 delegates and that Jewish youth groups would send more than 1,500, in- cluding 300 from the United States and Canada. Soviet Jews also have been invited, he said, and groups from Australia, Eastern Europe, South Africa and South America also will attend. About 2,000 people attended the 40th anniversary com- memoration in 1983. The major events of the an- niversary are planned for April 18 and 19, the Polish of- ficial said. A monument paying tribute to the ghetto heroes, who kill- ed hundreds of better-armed German troops over two mon- ths, will be dedicated. The monument is being completed at the site of the Umschlagplatz, where the Nazis put 300,000 Jews on trains bound for the Treblinka death camp. At the commemoration buses will take the visitors 90 miles north to Treblinka, where a vast plain now covers the bodies of the victims, for recitation of the Mourner's Kaddish. The April 19 ceremonies will include the laying of wreaths at the Warsaw Ghetto Monu- ment and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier by Jewish visitors and non-Jews. Officials from the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial and museum in Jerusalem will honor more than 100 Polish citizens for risking their lives to aid Jews fleeing the Nazi forces. Leaders of Poland and other nations will speak about the commemoration at the Con- gress Hall of the Palace of Culture and Science. Polish Jewry numbered three million people before the Holocaust, and the community now comprises 5,000 to 10,000 Jews. Yet, the government sponsors the Warsaw Ghetto commemorations every five years and protects the rem- nants of Jewish life in War- saw, Lublin and Krakow. The bright way to bank.

Reagan made the announce- ment to reporters as he was meeting in the White House with Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze. Morris Abram, chairman of the National Conference on Soviet Jewry, immediately urged that the upcoming sum- mit achieve "significant pro- gress" to alleviate the plight of Soviet Jews. He said no mean- ingful progress occurred dur- ing the summit in Washington last December. Senators' Letter Promotes Confrontation By MORRIS J. AMITAY It was a classic "man bites dog" story 30 U.S. Senators writing a letter widely interpreted as being critical of Israel. And, predictably, the usual gaggle of critics were quick to ap- plaud this unique occurrence and exaggerate its significance. Notwithstanding the preponderance of positive statements in the letter, the media pounced on the "dismay" expressed by the Senators over Prime Minister Shamir's refusal to publicly an- nounce, (in advance of any negotiations) that Israel should give up territory for "peace." It should also have been predictable that the reaction to the letter from pro-Israel activists would cause additional dismay to the signers of the letter. Some of the Senators who signed the letter were obviously impressed by the religious affiliation of the letter's originator, Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, and three other signers, Senators Boschwitz, Lautenberg and Metzenbaum. By hindsight most of the signers now question the wisdom and timing of having sent such a message. In fact, in its aftermath, not a single signer would agree to a televised debate with Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsilvania who had refused to sign the letter. Although Specter is regarded as one of the brightest members of the Senate, it should not have taken a genius to foresee the negative effect of having the letter on the front page of The New York Times a day before Shamir arrived in this country for his talks with the Administration on the Shultz peace plan. With the best of intentions, the letter injected 30 American Senators directly into the internal politics of a fellow democracy and displayed a degree of naivete of the realities of the Middle East and the significance of the Camp David Accords. The Camp David Accords, which all the Senators had sup- ported, wisely dictated an interim period of five years in which intentions could be divined and human contact developed prior to final agreement over the disposition of the territories. The let- ter, however, not only short circuited the Camp David process, it cut the ground out from under Israel's eventual negotiating posi- tion in direct talks with Jordan and Palestinian representatives. It is important to note that Shamir, as the democratically elected head of his government, spoke for Israel and criticism of Shamir was widely interpreted as a rebuke to Israel. The motivation behind the letter's author, Sen. Carl Levin, was to try to change a status quo he regarded as intolerable, and also provide support for Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres. But change for the sake of change without knowing where it will lead can be dangerous. No one questions the right of the Senators to be critical. But unhappiness over Israel's reactions to violence in the territories, or over Shamir's positions, could have been delivered to him directly as friends usually do. In- stead, the letter could actually be seen as promoting confronta- tion between Israel and the United States. Despite Levin's long- standing support of Israel and his good intentions, it is difficult to see how the letter advanced the peace process. Not known particularly in the Senate as a foreign affairs or Middle East ex- pert, and never having spearheaded any Israel-related initiatives previously, Levin, however, was obviously a good persuader. Not heeding the objections of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's, Tom Dine, (but also without the knowledge of other pro-Israel activists), Levin succeeded in qickly attracting 29 others to his initiative and saw to it that it received max- imum publicity. What did the letter accomplish? Did it give aid and comfort to Israel's critics? Certainly. Will it affect Israel's ties to the U.S. "the long run? Probably not. Will the signers cease to be sup- portive of Israel in the future? Definitely not. It is also fairly certain that there will be more circumspec- tion and less haste in the future in judging these issues. In this regard, it is worth noting that besides Senator Specter, such outstanding and veteran friends of Israel in the Senate as bob Jackwood of Oregon, Bill Bradley of New Jersey, John Heinz of Pennsylvania, David Durenberger of Minnesota, Paul Sarbanes of Maryland, and Jim Sasser of Tennessee would not join in the letter, aware its inappropriate timing and judging, correctly, now it would be perceived. . Down the road there will be foreign aid and arms sales votes 'n the Congress and, hopefully, at some point, peace negotia- tes. It is safe to say that solid majorities in both Houses of Con- fess will continue to be supportive of Israel because in a very real sense, Israel's successes or failures are also our own. "We expect that the issue of Soviet Jewry will be on the agenda of the Moscow sum- mit," Abram said. Saying the "plight of Soviet Jews is high on the list of human rights abuses in the USSR," Abram called on the Soviet Union to fulfill a promise, made in an October 1987 statement prior to the Washington summit, that "significant headway" would be made on the issue of human rights. "We regret that significant progress was not forthcoming prior to, and following, the Washington summit," he said. "If the deliberations in Moscow are to be considered fruitful, and if we are to be able to believe Soviet promises on the whole range of issues, the Moscow meeting must result in the adoption by the Soviet Union of a program that will lead to sustained, systematic and substantial Jewish emigration." Jewish emigration totaled 1,452 during the first two mon- ths of 1988. A Molotov cocktail throvm at a Binyamin Regional Council bus just outside Ramallah, resulted in near disaster. The bus was badly burned, but no one was injured. JTA/World Zionist News Photo Service Poll Shows Palestinian Support WASHINGTON (JTA) - Israel continues to enjoy solid support among Americans as a whole, but Palestinians appear to be winning greater sym- pathy among the better- educated and higher-income groups, according to an in- dependent national survey released by the Wirthlin Group, headed by Richard Wirthlin, President Reagan's pollster. The results showed that 42 percent of college-educated Americans said their sym- pathies lay more with the Palestinians compared to 38 percent who sympathized more with Israel. The margin for error was plus or minus three percent. Americans as a whole favored Israel over the Palesti- nians by a margin of 43 to 26 percent. College graduates were evenly divided in their sympathies at 39 percent each. But among holders of post- graduate degrees, 50 percent felt more sympathy for the Palestinians, while 34 percent favored the Israelis. Neil Newhouse, vice presi- dent of the Wirthlin Group, said the results were a disturb- ing sign for Israel, because better-educated, higher- income Americans "represent this nation's opinion leaders and potential financial support for Israel." Broken down by yearly in- come, Americans earning $30,000 to $40,000 sympathiz- ed most with Israel by a margin of 46 percent to 30 per- cent for the Palestinians. But those earning over $40,000 favored the Palestinians over Israel by 43 to 36 percent. Israel was favored 45 to 15 percent by Americans who earn less than $15,000 a year and 44 to 28 percent by those earning between $15,000 and $30,000. Sympathy for the Palesti- nians did not translate into sympathy for the Arab states in their conflict with Israel, ac- cording to the survey. Israel was favored over the Arab na- tions by 49 to 17 percent, while 26 percent favored neither and eight percent had no opinion. Newhouse observed that while the results of the survey "do not show a great deal of erosion of support for Israel in general terms in the Middle East, they do indicate that fewer Americans are willing to give Israel the benefit of the doubt in that country's dealing with the Palestinians." UJA's Boycott Disturbs Shamir JERUSALEM (INB) - Senior aides to Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir say that he is "unhappy" over the refusal of the United Jewish Appeal to finance Jewish charitable pro- jects in Judea, Samaria and the Old City of Jerusalem. Although Shamir is reluc- tant to personally intervene, these aides say, he does believe that the United Jewish Appeal and the Jewish National Fund "have committed a grave er- ror" by restricting their ac- tivities to within the pre-1967 parts of Israel. Both the UJA and JNF had until recently maintained that any funding outside of the pre-1967 "Green Line" was contrary to the wishes of the State Department and could therefore jeopardize the groups' tax-deductible status. The Murphy letter proves "that there are no legal or other barriers preventing UJA and JNF from funding projects in areas beyond Israel's 1967 borders, according to Hadassah Marcus, spokeswoman for an ad-hoc group that has been lobbying for a change in the policies of the two philanthropies. Pipeline Scandal Damages Labor JERUSALEM (INB) - There is little doubt that the burgeoning Iraqi pipeline scan- dal will damage the Labor Party's electoral chances the only question is how much damage it will do. Likud Members of Knesset are pressing Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir to dismiss Foreign Minister Shimon Peres from the national unity government if Peres continues to refuse to provide a full disclosure of his role in the pipeline affair. MK Haim Kaufman, head of the Likud's Knesset bloc, said that there are three pressing questions that Peres has yet to address: the extent of the financial dealings between Labor and millionaire Bruce Rappaport, who allegedly negotiated to bribe Labor in exchange for its support of the pipeline project; the refusal of Labor spokesmen to deny the contents of a Rappaport memo suggesting that Labor prefers Ashkenazi immigrants over Sefardic immigrants, because Ashkenazim are more likely to vote for Labor; and whether or not the Rappaport memo was based on opinion surveys com- missioned by Labor.

Mengele Case Open By HUGH ORGEL TEL AVIV -(JTA)- Israel is still not satisfied that human bones exhumed in Brazil on June 6, 1985 are the remains of Josef Mengele, the Auschwitz death camp doctor, a Justice Ministry official said. The ministry's director general, Haim Klugman, said it has not yet been accepted here that the remains have been conclusively identified as Mengele's and as long as some doubt exists, the case of the Nazi war criminal will not be closed. Klugman said Israel would continue its contacts with Brazil, the United States and West Germany on the matter. Those countries, along with Israel, sent teams of pathologists and forensic ex- perts to Brazil to examine the skeleton buried at a cemetery in Embu, near Sao Paulo. The bones were unearthed after a German couple living in Brazil, Wolfram and Liselotte Bossert, claimed they had sheltered Mengele for 10 years, during which he assum- ed the name of Wolfgang Gerhard. Gerhard was drown- ed while swimming in 1979. The experts determined, mainly on the basis of dental records, that Gerhard was Mengele. But those records have been called into question recently. Mengele's family, which runs a prosperous farm machinery business in Gunz- burg, the Bavarian town where Mengele was born in 1911, admitted after the ex- humation that it had been in touch with Mengele in Brazil over the years and that his son, Rolf, had visited him there in 1977. But the family has refused to have the remains brought to West Germany for reburial. Some sources said they feared his grave would become a neo- Nazi shrine or a target for thieves.

Ra. 33101 Israeli-Arab Dialogue At Belgian Forum By YOSSI LEMPKOWITZ BRUSSELS (JTA) A three-day dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians ended here with the participants in general agreement over the need for an international con- ference to facilitate peace negotiations in the Middle East. The role of the Palesti- nian Liberation Organization, however, remained problematic. The dialogue on the theme "Give Peace a Chance" was organized by David Susskind, honorary president of the Jewish Secular Community Center here. Held in the building that houses European Community headquarters, the forum drew about 20 Israelis and Palestinians, all con- sidered moderates and, as Susskind pointed out, "willing to speak to each other without any prejudice." The most prominent of the Israelis was Abba Eban, a Labor Party member of the Knesset and chairman of its Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. The best known of the Palestinians was Hanna Siniora, editor of the East Jerusalem Arabic daily Al- Fajr, who is close to the PLO. Eban argued forcefully for an international conference, which Premier Yitzhak Shamir vigorously opposes. But contrary to several other Israelis who called on Israel to negotiate with the PLO, Eban noted that Yasir Arafat's organization has a serious credibility problem. He recalled that on March 7, while Israel was debating the new American peace plan, PLO terrorists hijacked a bus in the Negev, resulting in the death of one Israeli and the wounding of 10. Nevertheless, Eban said he discerned an evolution in the PLO's position and suggested that Israel rescind its law barr- ing contacts between Israelis and PLO officials. Siniora claimed the PLO represents five million Palesti- nians in the Israeli- administered territories and abroad. "I am certainly willing to speak about the security needs of Israel, but the Israelis have to speak about a national identity for the Palestinians," he said. Yael Dayan Urges Compromise and Dissent By ANDREW SILOW CARROLL NEW YORK (JTA) - Israeli writer and politician Yael Dayan is urging American Jews to take sides in Israel's internal debate on the future of the administered territories. Otherwise, said Dayan, 49, daughter of the late Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, "I have to come to American Jews and tell them to compromise on everything they stand for in order to pro- duce the facade of solidarity." Dayan, Brig. General (Res.) Giora Furman and Mark Rosenblum, director of North American Friends of Peace Now. spoke with reporters here. Along with Menachem Brinker, a literature professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, they are trying to spread the message of the 10-year-old Peace Now move- ment, which calls for ter- ritorial compromise and mutual recognition by the Israelis and the Palestinians as a solution both to the present unrest and Israel's long-term security concerns. "There isn't a unified Israel, and why should they (Americans) support everything but what they believe in?" said Dayan, a member of the Foreign Rela- tions Committee of the Labor Party and a candidate for the Knesset. "There are two options, and Israel is facing them, the Jewish world is facing them, the State Department is facing them, Arafat is facing them. You take a position according to your political stance," she said. Dayan argued that Israelis who accept American financial support and political backing cannot demand an end to other forms of "interference." Beyond the question of tak- ing sides, Dayan defended Peace Now's position that Israel's security needs can be reconciled with Palestinian self-determination. She urged Americans to dis- count the claims of Shamir that relinquishing all or part of the territories would present a threat to Israel's survival. She said that argument "is really taking away our tremen- dous military achievement of '67 and not counting the enor- mous development that we have undergone since then militarily." Dayan served in the Six-Day War as an officer and war correspondent. After a break of 21 years, Israel and Hungary have ataMuhed limited diplomatic ties whereby Israel will maintain an "intert office" in Budapest and Hungary will maintain one in Tel-An v. The agreement went into effect when the head of the Hungarian interest office, Jeno Gyenis, left,, called on Foreign Minister Shimon Peres recently. JTA/World Zionist News Photo Service Ontario Jews Marry Out There is a growing trend towards intermarriage among Ontario Jews but there is still more opposition to intermar- riage among Jews than among other communities. According to a Canadian Jewish Congress study by Prof. Stuart Schonfeld, nearly 20 percent of Jews marry out. The Jews who are more like- ly to intermarry are: Cana- dian, American or Western. males, university-educated. Jewishly unaffiliated or divorc- ed. Usually where the n>n- Jewish spouse converts to Judaism they raise the level ol Jewishness in the family. (Dateline: World Jewry' According to Siniora both sides must pay a price for peace. The Israelis must withdraw from the territories and the Palestinians must ac- cept the existence of the Israeli state, he said. He proposed an interna- tional conference that would include the PLO. mutual recognition, a Palestinian state to exist alongside Israel and a moratorium on violence to be declared by both parties on the day the international conference begins. Susskind stressed that the participants came here in their personal capacities, not as representatives of Israel or the PLO. It was assumed, however, that the Palestinians had prior approval from the PLO to take part in the dialogue. The meeting divided the Belgian Jewish community. Many Jews who support Shamir's opposition to an in- ternational conference called the dialogue meaningless. because, they argued, peace can be achieved only by direct negotiations between Israeli and Arab leaders. By YITZHAK RABI NEW YORK (JTA) - "There is a tremendous pain, daily pain," says Baruch Tegegne about his community, the 15,000 Ethiopian Jews in Israel. "There is hardly an Ethio- oian family in Israel today that is not a divided family, with close members of the family unit fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters still living in Ethiopia and unable to join their loved ones in Israel," he explained in fluent Hebrew during an interview here. "This constant pain is harmful to the Ethiopian community as a whole and to the process of integration into Israeli society" The 44-year-cld leader of Ethiopian Jews in Israel con- tends that as long as they have family members remaining in Ethiopia, their absorption into Israeli society will not be Friday, April 1, 1988/The Jewish Floridian Page 21 5The Unfinished Exodus of complete. The Ethiopians in Israel suf- fer strong guilt feelings, he said, because "they left their dear ones in Ethiopia where they are persecuted, hungry and ill-treated by their neighbors." According to Tegegne, 10,000 to 15,000 Jews main- ly women, children and the elderly are still trapped in Ethiopia's Gondar region. All of them, Tegegne stressed, have immediate family in Israel, but Ethiopia's Marxist government forbids their emigration. About, 15,000 Ethiopian Jews live in Israel as well, most having arrived as part of Operation Moses, the airlift of Ethiopian Jews to Israel Operation Moses- through the Sudan in late 1984 and early 1985. Tegegne lives in the town of Herzliya near Tel Aviv. A founder of the Association of Ethiopian Immigrants in Israel, he has been working for the last few years for the Na- tional Committee for Ethio- pian Jewry based in Tel Aviv. He has been touring Canada and the United States this past month on behalf of the American Association for Ethiopian Jews to urge North American Jews and Jewish organizations to intensify their struggle on behalf of the re- maining Jews in Ethiopia. "Operation Moses is not over yet. It will not be over as long as the Jewish community of Ethiopia is trapped and denied the right to emigrate,' he said. Their need for rescue, he emphasized, is urgent, and should be arranged with Ethiopia on the humanitarian grounds of family unification. Tegegne himself has a mother and a number of brothers and sisters still living in Ethiopia. Other brothers and sisters and his father ar- rived in Israel in the last few years. Tegegne was the first Jews of Ethiopia to set foot on Israeli soil. He came first to Israel in 1954 at age 10 as part of a special Jewish Agency program in which is Ethiopia children were educated in Israel. At age 18 Tegegne returned to Ethiopia as a teacher "after eight wonderful years in Israel, despite the dif- ficulties and the longing for my family that was in Ethiopia." But once in Ethiopia he found that the school in his village, Wozaba in the Gondar region, had burnt down. He worked on a farm until 1974, when the Marxist revolution took place. He then owned a farm on the Sudanese border, which he said was burned down and looted by bandits. He decided to flee to Israel through the Sudan, a journey that ended in 1976 after two- and-a-half years and which was fraught with hardship: He faced starvation, execution by the Sudanese police and murder by hostile border smugglers. When he finally reached Israel, he recalled, "I knew in my heart that I was mistaken to believe that there is no God. I knew that God is there and miracles can happen." Is Israel the Promised Land?* An Authentic Israeli-American Dialogue By RABBI BERNARD S. RASKAS ST. PAUL, Minn. (JTA) - Recent troubling events have caused many American Jews to question the centrality of Israel in Jewish life. But before judgments are made, if they can be, the issue must be placed in the historical context of the Jewish people's unique, curious ambivalence toward possession and occupation of land. No people has maintained over so long a period so emo- tional an attachment to a par- ticular corner of the earth's surface. But none has shown so strong and persistent an in- stinct to migrate, such courage and skill in replanting its roots. For more than three quarters of their existence, a majority of Jews have always lived outside the land they call their own. Abraham migrated from Ur Chaldes to Canaan, and at the call of God was the first to receive the Divine promise, "I give you all the land you see to you and your offspring forever" (Genesis 13:15). Yet, he wandered to Egypt. His nephew, Lot, wandered away from him. His grandson, Jacob, took his whole family and wandered to Egypt. When the First Temple was destroyed in 587-6 B.C.E. and the Jews were exiled to Babylon, some pledged in sor- row, // / forget you, 0 Jerusalem, let my right hand wither, let my tongue stick to ny palate if I do not keep Jerusalem in memory even at ny happiest hour" (Psalms 127:5). Yet, the prophet Jeremiah counseled the exiles, "Build houses and live in them, plant gardens and enjoy their fruit" (Jeremiah 29:28). Just prior to the destruction f the Second Temple, the total Jewish population was e|gnt million. Approximately six million of them lived out- side of Palestine. Whether by choice, chance P7 force, Jews have always Deen a nomadic people, and to a considerable degree were shaped by the forces surroun- a'ng them. But wherever they roamed, the centrality of Israel was before them, and the yearning to return to Zion was within them. The liturgical calendar was based on the seasons of Eretz Yisrael. When the Jews built a home, they left part of it un- finished to remind themselves of their perpetual obligation to finish the task of rebuilding their ancient homeland. At a marriage, a glass was broken to remind them of Israel, and at death pious Jews were buried with some earth from the Holy Land. At the end of Yom Kippur and the seder, two of the most sacred events in Jewish observances, they shouted, "Next year in Jerusalem!" Almost every major Jewish book except the Bible was written outside of Eretz Yisrael. However, even as they remembered Zion, they lived in their environment, in- teracted with it and were in- fluenced by it. At times they were assimilated by it and in other instances they rejected it, but generally they learned to absorb its best elements and "made" them Jewish. The Jewish genius was in recognizing those elements that were hostile to it. But in either event, the challenge of a foreign environment con- tributed to the continued growth of Judaism. Indeed, Jewish history and direction were strung between the poles of the yearning to return to the homeland and of living in a foreign environment with all of its benefits as well as impediments. When the Jewish state was declared in 1948, Jews had to face the choice between living as a minority or being part of the majority. The contemporary challenge of the Jew began to take shape in the 19th century. When Theodor Herzl converted Zionism (the centrality of Eretz Yisrael) into a political movement aiming to solve "the Jewish problem," he was ar- ticulating a basic premise of Judaism. But he clashed directly with another basic Jewish view that maintained Judaism was a religion that thrived on the challenges of the non-Jewish environment and would sur- vive in it. Of course, fundamentalist Jews did not wish to be in- tegrated into the general society, but believed that only through Divine intervention (the Messiah) could Jews return to Israel. Woven among these basic approaches was a whole variety of movements and combinations of movements. But, essentially they were variations on the bipolar nature of the Jewish struggle nationalism and autonomy versus universalism and religion. The Holocaust seemed to put an end to the conviction that Jews could live safely anywhere outside of Israel. Even among American Jews there lurks the specter of anti- Semitism. A democracy is ultimately based on public op- nion, and public opinion can be a fickle master. It can happen here. On the other hand, Jews are beginning to question whether Israel has not turned out to be a form of false messianism. In the wake of so many scandals, from the army to the business world to the decline of the kib- butz, is the Zionist dream fading? Did the creation of Israel end Jewish powerlessness, or is there more anti-Semitism in the world than ever before? Did Israel unify Jews, or did it exacerbate the conflict bet- ween political extremes the cultural Jews and the ter- ritorial Jews? Why is immigra- tion to Israel given way to emigration? In the wake of these ques- tions and emboldened by its growth in numbers, power and affluence, American Jewry is beginning to question the cen- trality of Israel. Although vulnerable to charges of intermarriage and assimilation, American Jewry can point to a great Jewish in- frastructure including signifi- cant advances in Jewish educa- tion, intellectualism, pro- fessorships and courses in Judaica on the campuses and an astounding number of books by Jewish authors on Jewish subjects. Where, then, shall we pro- claim the center of Jewish life in our time Israel or the American Jewish community? Is Israel still the Promised Land or is Israel the Jewish people wherever they choose to reside? Proponents are lin- ing up on both sides and the duel is beginning. But is it not possible to offer a third alternative? Have there not always been two foci of Jewish life? Can there not be a partnership in parity? Can not Israel and the American Jewish community (as well as all Jewish communities) live as a duet? The key words here are to be found in the classic phrase klal Yisrael the whole communi- ty of Israel. Was this not suitably expressed in Mordecai Kaplan's use of the term "peoplehood" and emphasis on kehilla the whole community? In truth, the creation and maintenance of Israel would not have been possible without Diaspora Jewry. Equally so, the failure of Israel (Heaven forbid) would shatter every Jew living today and would af- fect generations to come. Is it not ingrained in the Jewish psyche that "all Jews are responsible for one another"? Perhaps our generation should consider itself most for- tunate. It may experiment liv- ing in both cultures. We should have discussion, friendly debate, constructive criticism and honest dif- ferences. But there is no need for acrimony or confrontation, no need for a duel and every reason to have a duet. We all need each other and we all need to help each other fulfill the purpose of Judaism. In the end, should not Jews heed the admonition of Hohelet: "It is best that you grasp the one without letting go of the other" (7:18)? Or in the words of Dr. Alice Shalvi, pro- fessor of English literature at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, "Two people may not agree on everything, but they should work together in those areas where they do agree, on that which binds and unites us." Rabbi Bernard S. Raskas serves Temple of Aaron Congregation, St. Paul, Minn., and is author of the trilogy "Heart of Wisdom. " Peace Prize Nomination To Neve Shalom JERUSALEM Neve Shalom/Wahat Al-Salam (NS/WAS), Israel's only Jewish-Arab cooperative village, has been nominated for the 1988 Nobel Peace Prize, it was announced here by Abed el-Salaam, secretary of the village. The village, which is located on the hillside mid-way bet- ween Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, was nominated for the award by Honorable Eline Bager and the Honorable Kerstin Ekman, members of the Swedish Parliament, who are authoriz- ed to make nominations to the Nobel Peace Prize committee in Oslo. In making the nominations, Bager and Ekman cited the work of Father Bruno Hussar, one of the original founders of NSW AS. They stated that awarding the prize to NS/WAS would "spread his (Father Hussar's) message of cooperation and coexistence in justice and peace ... to the world." Former American Am- bassador to Israel Samuel Lewis, a member of NS/WAS Advisory Board, praised the organization and its unique School for Peace, which brings together young Jewish and Arab high school students for special educational training classes and seminars. NS/WAS was founded in 1975. It has 70 Jewish and Palestinian Israeli residents, in approximately equal numbers. Page 22 The Jewish Floridian/Friday, April 1, 1988 White Supremacist Trial Witnesses an Acquittal Shamir Stands Firm By BARBARA BIRNBAUM NEW YORK (JTA) The judge presiding over the Fort Smith, Ark., trial of 14 white supremacists charged with plotting to overthrow the U.S. government has granted one of the defendants his motion for directed verdict of acquit- tal, because of insufficient evidence in the case. U.S. District Court Judge Morris Arnold ruled that there was insufficient evidence to continue to try Robert Smalley, 32, who was charged with seditious conspiracy, ac- cording to Larry Lee, a reporter for the Southwest Times Record in Fort Smith. Lee said there is a possiblity that defendants William Wade, 69, and David McGuire, 25, also will be acquitted of the charges of conspiring to kill a federal judge and special FBI agent in Arkansas in 1983. Either party in a trial may receive a directed verdict in its favor if the opposing party fails to present a necessary defense. Lee, who has been covering the trial since it began Feb. 16, said that Judge Arnold has "persistently asked the government prosecuting at- torneys to pare their case down because a lot of the evidence was repetitive." On March 10, Judge Arnold reportedly told the pro- secuting attorneys that he might have to call a mistrial because they had presented too much "hearsay" evidence that was not subseqently cor- roborated. The judge has had to frequently instruct the jury to ignore evidence during the proceedings, Lee said. Smalley, who wa tried in the September 1985 Seattle trial of a group called The Order, served about eight months in prison for selling illegal weapons to Randall Rader, 36, a former weapons specialist for The Order and another white supremacist group, The Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord (CSA). Rader was called as a government witness in the trial. People who monitor the ac- tivities of hate groups were concerned at the turn of events in the trial. Irwin Suall, director of the fact-finding department of the Anti- Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, who has observed some of the trial, said, "My impres- sion was that the government had a very strong case." But Leonard Zeskind, research director of the Atlanta-based Center for Democratic Renewal, said he was "concerned" by three fac- tors in the trial: "the fact that the government cut in half its witness list of over 200 names; the directed verdict of acquit- tal; and the fact that Judge Ar- nold told the prosecuting at- torneys there was a possiblity of a mistrial because of the lack of corroborative evidence." Zeskind explained that the conspiracy charge "hinges on the difference between free speech advocacy and speech which engenders imminent ac- tion. The government's case rests on proving that immi- nent action was either the in- tended or even the unintended result of the defendants' activities." The government is expected to rest its case Monday, with the defendants beginning their case following that. Aryan Na- tions leaders Robert Miles, Richard Butler and Louis Beam are planning to take the stand on their own behalf. Continued from Page 3 for the State of Israel and its prime minister" despite ef- forts to split U.S. Jewry by "hostile elements" he did not identify. The debate concluded with a vote to refer the peace issue to the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. But there was no vote on the premier's positions. The Labor Party and Likud agreed in advance on this matter to prevent fur- ther exposure of the deep rift between the two principal components of the unity coali- tion government. Shamir was particularly in- dignant over the meeting in Washington between Shultz and two members of the Palestine National Council, which Israel considers part and parcel of the Palestine Liberation Organization. The Palestinian-born American academicians with whom Shultz conferred, Pro- fessors Edward Said of Colum- bia University and Ibrahim Abu-Lughod of Northwestern University, "are members of the PLO to all intents and pur- poses," Shamir said. He noted that the council was "the body that approved the infamous Palestine Cove- nant," which calls for Israel's destruction. "It is the supreme body of the terror organiza- tions," Shamir said. He called the meeting a breach of the 1975 memoran dum of understanding bet ween Israel and the United States in which the Americans pledged to have no contact whatever with representatives of the PLO until it met specific conditions, including the recognition of Israel's right to exist. That view appears to be shared by Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, leader of the Labor Party. Shamir said that during his visit to the United States, American Jews urged him not to surrender to pressure or to cave in to "the media which are hostile to Israel." He said they also fully support the government's actions to sup- press violence in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. "The vast bulk of the great Jewish community identifies with Israel and supports us." Shamir said. "This is a vital wall of support for us and we must guard it and preserve it." With respect to the Arab uprising, Shamir said Israel would stand firm "until the rabble-rousers realize that they cannot achieve anything by these means, apart from suffering and bereavement." Shamir sent greetings to the Jewish settlers in the ter- ritories, urging them "to be strong and firm." Labor Party Re-Elects Peres By DAVID LANDAU JERUSALEM (JTA) - Foreign Minister Shimon Peres was re-elected unanimously as leader of the Labor Party and thus its can- didate for prime minister in the next elections. His re-election at a special session of the party's Central Committee was in fact a for- mality, as he was unopposed. Peres drew warm applause when he said in his acceptance speech that his election was "a mandate not for me the man, but for the political path I represent." He dwelt on the burning need, as he saw it, to pursue the peace process. "Despite its painfulness there is a solu- tion," Peres declared. But "first the politicians must not dodge the issues or foist them on the army. They must tell the people the truth." In a related development, the moderate wing of the Na- tional Religious Party won a narrow but significant victory, Israel to Cooperate Continued from Page 3 a former National Security Council aide; and Richard Secord and Albert Hakim, both involved in the transfer of arms to Iran and the use of profits from the arms sale to supply the Contras. Walsh has indicated that there would be further indictments. The special congressional committees that investigated the Iran-contra affair found no involvement by Israel in the transfer of funds to the con- tras, but concluded that Israel played a major role in opening and continuing the initiative to Iran. when the party's central com- mittee endorsed the Knesset candidacy of Religious Affairs Minister Zevulun Hammer, with 60.3 percent of the vote. Party rules require that any member who has served two consecutive terms in the Knesset must be endorsed by 60 percent of the Central Com- mittee before he can stand for re-election. Out of more than 900 votes cast, Hammer squeaked through by a margin of only two. Senator Inouye To Be Honored The National Council of Young Israel will honor Senator Daniel K. Inouye (D., Hawaii) as the recipient of the "Legislator of the Year Award" at the National Council's 76th Anniversary Banquet to be held in Manhattan on April 17. Senator Inouye who has served in the Senate since 1963 has consistently championed issues affecting Israel's security on Capitol Hill. He has served as a member of the Senate Watergate Committee, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and as the chairman of the Senate Select Committee investigating the Iran-Contra connection.

Furthermore, although apply- ing for press credentials is a norm applied in all, including the most democratic, coun- tries, some of the visiting cor- respondents on temporary assignment do not even re- quest such accreditation, thus taking advantage of Israel's openness. 2. Israel is a democracy fighting for its survival. The freedom of movement and ac- cess enjoyed by the media in Israel is unique, even when compared to other democratic nations that have at times completely closed their areas of conflict to the press. Cen- sorship is applied in Israel only in those cases where security matters are at risk. In con- trast, the Arab nations that are still in conflict with Israel are societies that place the severest restrictions on the media. Like other authoritarian regimes, their actions are virtually never sub- ject to public scrutiny TV cameras and journalists do not have the freedom to record whatever developments take place. Thus, there is little or no press coverage of government reaction to attempted protest, and the Arab states enjoy a built-in advantage over Israel in avoiding unfavorable media attention. 3. When complex and long term problems are presented without reference to their in- tricacies and background, cur- rent events may end up being covered superficially. Many of the journalists in Israel on temporary assignment have no in-depth knowledge of the region's history, and, conse- quently, events are frequently reported as if everything began just yesterday. Lack of elaboration presents an even greater problem on television. Although the scenes on the TV screen are vivid, they may often only be a sliver of reality, since comprehensive analysis is seldom provided by the elec- tronic media. The few seconds of imagery are often the pro- duct of a 10-12 hour workday during which one or several TV crews tape segments at dif- ferent locations and, after- wards, condense them into an action-packed newsworthy piece. Thus, scattered in- cidents may be magnified far beyond their true proportions. Moreover, since the report on television is subject to time limits and other constraints, elements that are vital to an accurate understanding of the situation may be omitted because they are considered to be less "newsworthy." 4. An issue often raised in connection with the media is the degree to which it may in- fluence events rather than simply report them. There have been several instances, some of them noted by other journalists, in which the sud- den appearance of a TV news crew into a relatively calm area is exploited by local elements to trigger a demonstration and, thereby, conveniently make their point. The ongoing disturbances have not just been covered by the media, but to a certain extent have also been spurred on by it. Encouraged by criticism of Israel, the rioters and ex- tremist elements feel that con- tinued turmoil serves their in- terests, for it ensures more media attention and thereby brings even more criticism on Israel's efforts to end the violence and to enhance the prospects for peace. Asher Nairn is Minister for Informa- tion for the Embassy of Israel stationed in Washington, D.C. Miami Police Chief Clarence Dickson, right, with Israel Minister of Police Chaim Bar Lev at the national police headquarters in Jerusalem. Dickson was in Israel with a delegation of six law enforcement officials representing major metropolitan areas in the U.S. The delegation visited national and border police units throughout the country and toured the administered territories. JTA/World Zionist News Photo Service Chief Dickson On Israeli Inspection JERUSALEM, Israel - "We expected smoke, tanks, and gunfire, but saw safe and peaceful streets," said Miami's Chief of Police Clarence Dickson at the end of a week- long visit to Israel. His percep- tion? "Streets in Israel are safer than in the U.S." Dickson was one of sue American law enforcement of- ficials in Israel for an ex- change of views and techni- ques with that country's na- tional police force. Comprised of police chiefs and sheriffs from major cities in Arizona, California, Florida, Louisiana, Missouri and Texas, the delegation's visit in the last two weeks was under the auspices of the Anti- Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, which has an office in Jerusalem. Dickson described the coun- try's police as "humane and concerned about the delivery of services under very difficult conditions." His views, ex- pressed at a news conference, were shared by the other members of the delegation. The focus of the visit was an exchange of views on anti- terrorist activities, criminal in- vestigation and security pro- cedures. It was the second delegation of law enforcement officers organized by ADL in cooperation with Israel's ministry of police. Their itinerary included Jerusalem, the West Bank, and visits with anti-terrorist and border con- trol units. Miami Chief Dickson was im- pressed by some of the technology demonstrated by the Israelis and said his department would send an ex- pert to Israel to study the equipment, in particular that used for scaling high walls and buildings. Most of the police chiefs had never before visited Israel. After high level security brief- ings, witnessing public demonstrations and being ex- posed to the close-knit coor- dination among the various security branches in Israel and to Israeli society in general, they all expressed greater understanding of the country and the complexity of the region's issues. General Assembly Votes Against PLO Closure By YITZHAK RABI UNITED NATIONS - JTA) The General Assembly voted 148 to 2 for a resolution deploring the U.S. order to close the Palestine Liberation Organization's observer mission to the United Nations. Only the United States and Israel voted against the resolu- tion. There were no abstentions. The vote comes a day after J.S. Attorney Rudolph ^luliani filed a complaint in JJderal district court in Manhattan against the PLO's refusal to comply with a U.S. Justice Department order to e|ose and vacate its observer m'ssion office by March 21. 7{/^ PLO representative, iehdl Terzi, was served with a summons giving the PLO 20 ^ys to appear in court to answer the complaint. Terzi w>d that the PLO "will not dlsregard the summons." The resolution was the se- ,u"d I month condemning ! L"!ted States- action gunst the PLO observer mis- Sln. It deplored what it said was the U.S. failure "to comp- ly with its obligations under the Headquarters Agree- ment," which established in 1947 the legal relationship bet- ween the United Nations and the United States, the host country. The resolution also called on the UN secretary general to take adequate legal action to prevent closure of the PLO mission. It would require him to invoke the arbitration machinery provided for under the Headquarters Agreement to resolve disputes with the host country. The United Nations an- nounced it has retained Keith Highet, president of the American Society of Interna- tional Lawyers, to work on a possible UN response to the suit against the PLO. The PLO reportedly will be represented by former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark in its legal battle with the Justice Department. The Justice Department suit against the PLO cites the U.S. Anti-Terrorism Act.ptf 1987. U.S. Ambassador Herbert Okun explained to the General Assembly before the vote that the American legal system obliged the attorney general to move to close the PLO mis- sion. But he added that it pro- vides the PLO every oppor- tunity to raise relevant legal defenses before final action is taken. Until the courts determine whether the law requires closure of the PLO observer mission, Okun said, the United States contends it is premature to consider arbitration. He said the United States will take no further steps to close the PLO office until the court decides on the attorney general's right to order closure under the act. Israeli Ambassador Johanan Bein told the General Assembly before the vote that "the real question before the General Assembly is the in- tegrity of this organization." Calling the PLO "the prin- cipal terrorist organization of our time," Bein claimed it could not invoke the UN Charter for protection because its "own avowed principles contradict that very charter." Terzi of the PLO denounced the American move. He charg- ed the United States wants to create "more Palestinian refugees. They want to throw us into the street," he said. The International Court of Justice in The Hague is ex- pected to meet April 11 to con- sider the closure order. A resolution adopted by the General Assembly earlier re- quested an advisory opinion from the World Court. Diplomats here pointed out that the opinion would not be binding. The General Assembly is ex- pected to discuss the observer mission issue one more time before April 11, which also is the deadline for the PLO to ap- pear in federal district court here. IDF Ordered To Return Film JERUSALEM (JTA) - Supreme Court Justice Aharon Barak ordered the security authorities to return film footage confiscated from foreign journalists when Israel Defense Force reserve Sgt. Moshe Katz was shot to death near his guard post in Bethlehem. Barak permitted the securi- ty forces to develop the film, but they were under strict in- structions not to damage it. Time and Newsweek magazines and the Reuters news agency, had been urging return of the film. In a related story, Premier Yitzhak Shamir ordered the closure for one week of the Arabic daily Al-Ittihad, Israel's only Arabic daily and an affiliate of the Rakah (Com- munist) Party. Shamir used his authority as acting interior minister. The week-long closure means no Arabic daily was to be published in Israel on March 30, Land Day, the anniversary of the confiscation of Arab land in the Galilee by the Israel Defense Force in 1976. Land Day has been marked annually by Arab protests. Authorities feared more violence this year. Page 24 The Jewish Ftoridin/Friday, April 1, 1988 The Individual Nature of a People's Passover FEDERAL DISCOUNT PHARMACY By SOL H. MARSHALL By using a Passover theme, the Federation of Jewish Men's Clubs has released the second volume in its series of books to strengthen the quali- ty of religious observance by Jewish families. "The Art of Jewish Living: The Passover Seder" is a wor- thy successor to "The Art of Jewish Living: The Shabbat Seder." Both were written by Dr. Ron Wolfson of the University of Judaism, Los Angeles, although the newer book was written and designed in collaboration with Joel Grishaver. Wolfson points out that Passover is a festival of freedom, yet its observance is bound by a rigid ritual. As we know, the word "seder" means order: There is suppos- ed to be the reading or the Haggadah; the entire house must be made kosher for Pesach; and only foodstuffs prepared especially for the holiday may be used. Part One of the book gives an outline of the complete seder ritual by dividing the elements of the Haggadah into four "acts": the beginning, the tellings, the feast and the redemption. It is designed for people who need a structure to understand the meaning of Passover. Part Two is devoted to the preparations and actual con- ducting of the seder. The book is also noteworthy for its haimish presentation. "We cannot return to the lessons of that first seder night in Egypt without its being enriched by the memories of our own Seder celebrations," Wolfson writes in the foreword. "As I sit to write of seder traditions and customs, I return in my mind to Omaha. Such is the Jewish way. Fami- ly history and national history are interwoven. I cannot prepare to experience the spiritual liberation from Egypt without first returning in memory to Nebraska." He brings us into his large, three-generation and extended family and the happy ex- periences at the sedarim and other holiday observances in Omaha. He called the gather- ings "seders" as a youth, he writes, and in his mind that is what they will always be although today he insists that his students use the proper Hebrew plural sedarim. Readers fearful of holiday observances because of what they feel are inadequate religious backgrounds will be more at ease after they meet the eight family groups whose experiences are quoted throughout the book. Jerry Weber, from a "chaotically observant" home, and Sally, from a non- traditional home, have two children. They give their guests homework assignments several weeks before the seder. Victor Sabah, whose parents came from Turkey, and Rica, whose family lived in Jerusalem for more than 500 years, and three children are immersed in an Ashkenazic setting in their synagogue school. They have developed integrated Sephardic- Ashkenazic observances. Dan and Carol Karsch and their three children are involv- ed in synagogue and com- munal activities. They share seders with their neighbors and university students. Their rituals combine traditional texts with creative segments relating to current religious and community issues. Judy and Louis Miller are an empty-nest family. They hold one seder for their three mar- ried children and five grand- children, which is short and snappy to accommodate the youngsters. Then they hold a "super seder," a longer, more relaxed, yet intensive session for friends who appreciate the extended commentaries of- fered by all the participants. Miriam Prum is a single pro- fessional woman, born in Mex- ico City to a traditional, Euro- pean family. She holds one seder for her family and spon- sors another for a group of friends, single and married. Lorin Fife had Mormon grandparents, a Methodist father and a Christian Science mother. As a youth he attend- ed a Presbyterian Sunday School, but was drawn to Judaism while reading a book on comparative religions en route to Vietnam. His interest in Judaism grew while dating Linda, and he converted when they were married. His parents have attended their seders. Keren Goldberg grew up in a Reform congregation and celebrated holidays with her family at home. Her former husband was not religious, and they held only one seder while married. Following the bar mitzvah of her son, John, she held her first seder. Barry and Marlene Horwitz are active in their congrega- tion and their three sons have had a good Jewish education. Both sets of grandparents followed the Horwitzes from Chicago and the seders replicate the traditional three- generation family observances. In conversations with Wolfson, all eight family groups related their feelings about being Jewish and obser- ving Passover, and told of their preparation for the holidays and how they carried on the seder itself. The format personal ex- periences interwoven with the more formal descriptions make this a most enjoyable book to read straight through or to browse, now or throughout the year.

A Host of Haggadot By SANDY DIX Although it's not used very often, no religious work in Jewish literature, except for the Torah, has been translated into more languages than the Passover Haggadah. Commandment, not casual custom, accounts for its begin- nings. Twice a year, every Jew was instructed to relate the story of the Exodus, once at the Havaat Bikkurim, or br- inging the first fruit to the Temple in Jerusalem, and again at the seder. Scripture commands "And thou shalt tell thy son in the day, saying: It is because of that which the Lord did for me when I came forth out of Egypt." More than 3,000 years after liberation.the biblical dictate is taken at its word. Yet, because no specific text is mandated for the seder, there has been an unrestricted development of Haggadot. To- day, there are literally hun- dreds of variations in circulation. Despite differences in style and substance, they all bear the label "Haggadah." The word itself translates from the Hebrew as "narration," "tell- ing," "tale," or "recital." Each version tries to fulfill its definition. Pages are most often filled with narrative ex- cerpts from Exodus, inter- pretive opinions from the Talmud, prayers, psalms, songs, and special hymns writ- ten by medieval liturgists. Original commentary and ar- tistic illustration are modern adjuncts. It is not known precisely when the first official Hag- gadah was written. It was dur- ing the period of the Second Temple that the conventional Haggadah took shape. By the year 200 C.E., it had assumed a standard form. Thereafter, changes and additions occurred. Early Haggadot were writ- ten by copyists, many of whom were calligraphic experts. The oldest Haggadah yet discovered is on a parchment from before the 8th century, found in the genizah or repository for worn-out scrip- tures of a Cairo synagogue. Approximately two dozen Haggadot from medieval and Renaissance times still adorn the museum of Europe. The original "Sarajevo" survives in Yugoslavia, while the "Se- cond Haggadah" is in the Ger- manic Museum of Nuremberg. The "Darmstadt" and "Crawford" Haggadot, pro- duced during the 13th and 14th centuries, can be found in the John Ryland Library in Manchester, England. It was the introduction of printing during the fifteenth century that made elaborate il- Continued on Page 34 Communal Efforts Combat Bigotry . And Clean Up Graffiti By ELLEN ANN STEIN * Floridian Staff Writer Several Jewish organiza- tions, hoping to combat bigotry, prejudice and incidents such as last month's desecration of Bet Shira Con- gregation, are planning new courses of action. Formal charges against the tour teen-agers arrested in connection with the synagogue vandalism are still pending. Meanwhile, the American ^wish Committee has offered j create a human relations laming program for the four youths and their families that would cover ethnicity, racism, Juaaism and the Holocaust, said AJC Southeastern Regional Director William Gralnick. "I want to stress that this of- fer is not being made to sup- plant punishment, but to sup- plement it," said Gralnick. "And if the synagogue and the courts are amenable, we'll be happy to do it." The AJCommittee also in- tends to distribute within the next few weeks, a handbook on combatting anti-Semitism and extremism to churches, synagogues, religiously- affiliated community centers and community action agencies. THE organization already ' Continued on Page 29 Dade County residents, some saying they are "mad as heck and not going to take it anymore," are planning to raise their paint brushes to wipe out graffiti. Saturday, April 23, is being targeted as "Graffiti Paint-out day." A wide spectrum of com- munity residents is represen- tative of a growing movement to crack down on the graffiti artists whose works are costing property owners and city government clean-up crews time and money. Until recently, the targets of graffiti grumbled that the kids, if caught, received little more than a handslap. And so, the number of incidents rose. This caused Jean Simon, a Dade County Realtor, to get annoyed. Simon, who says she had never been an activist or involved in civic projects, helped organize a group of fewer than 10 people. They called themselves TaskForce Against Graffiti (TAG). Tag is also the word with which the graffiti artists or youth gang "painters" sign their work. Simon says she was pessimistic when she began to organize the taskforce. Only eight people attended initial meetings and the prevailing attitude was skepticism that anything significant could be done. Now, with a force of about 70, backed by com- mitments for cooperation and support from various law en- forcement agencies, Simon is more optimistic. TAG is approaching the pro- blem on several fronts: its members have met with Dade State Attorney Janet Reno and received a commitment from Reno that she would notify all Dade County law en- forcement agencies and re- quest that graffiti cases be called to her attention. TAG members are also pushing to have graffiti crimes raised from misdemeanor to felony status. They have met with juvenile chief Judge Seymour Gelber to urge the courts to be harsher in their treatment of graffiti- offenders. The group is planning: to Continued on Page 29 Page 26 The Jewish Floridian/Friday, April 1, 1988 Abba Eban To Cap Forum Temple Emanu-El closes out its 1987-88 Forum Series Tuesday evening with a major address by Israel leader Abba Eban at 8 p.m. in the main sanctuary of the Miami Beach congregation.

By ROBERT E. SEGAL Let the 1988 presidential candidates beware. Rosalyn Carter, Betty Ford, Lady Bird Johnson and Pat Nixon stand with the thousands of women who have made it clear that they are go- ing for the gold at the 1988 party conventions, battling for the rights so long delayed for women. The four former first ladies all were sponsors of the recent Atlanta conference on "Women and the Constitution: A Bicentennial Perspective" attended by more than 1,500 women who want the promise of the 14th Amendment to quickly come to its eventual fulfillment. That 120-year-old amend- ment assures that no state shall abridge the privileges or immunities of U.S. citizens, deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, or deny to any person the equal protec- tion of the law. In 1972, Congress approved a proposed 26th Amendment proclaiming that equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex. Ten years later, after bitter debate in state houses, 38 states had approved the Equal Rights Amendment. The pro- posal needed three more states to become part of the Constitu- tion, but luck had run out. Three of every four of the men and women participating in polls favor ERA, but the reactionary forces in Southern and Midwestern state houses and in neo-conservative think tanks have impeded progress. Meanwhile, the number of women in the labor force has increased, partially because middle-income families need two incomes. Thousands of women have won important battles in seeking full equality in employment, when deserv- ing of promotion, in applying for credit, when buying in- surance and in many other avenues. Women also have won ad- mission to a number of men's clubs whose social agenda naturally provide oppor- tunities to close business deals. Women are now being admit- ted to Rotary and other lun- cheon clubs. And the Boy Scouts of America, with its 500,000 women volunteers, finally will allow women to serve as scout- masters. Many a former Cub Scout den mother may now move up the ladder. All of these women have come a long way since Myra Bradwell tried to become an attorney. Professor Elizabeth Schneider of the Brooklyn University Law School has written recently about that ex- perience. Married in 1852, Bradwell studied law under her husband's guidance and passed the examination for the Illinois bar, but was denied ad- Spec's Music Happy Passover Lear School 11211 Biscayne Blvd. No. Miami 893-5351 3a/t/iy 9k*A*m* &<>jffl Golden Touch Beauty 6981 Collins A ve. 865-6428 Happy Passover Farm Fresh Products 1672 Alton Road, Miami Beach 672-1725 Happy Passover To All My Customers New Deal Strictly Kosher Meat & Poultry Market 1362 NE 163 St., No. Miami Beach 945-2512 Wishes A Happy Passover To The Jewish Community Dade Pipe & Plumbing 975 NE 163rd St. No. Miami Beach 949-0801 Happy Passover To All mission in 1869. A born fighter, she carried her case to the Supreme Court. She lost. Justice Joseph Bradley, concurring in the opi- nion that went against her, lec- tured the gallant lady thus: "The natural and proper timidity and delicacy which belongs to the female sex evidently unfits it for many of the occupations of civil life. The constitution of the family organization founded in the divine ordinance ... in- dicates the domestic sphere as that which properly belongs to ... the functions of womanhood ... "A woman has no legal ex- istence separate from her hus- band ... A married woman is incapable, without her hus- band's consent, of making con- tracts .. binding on her or him .. The paramount destiny and mission of women are to fulfill the .. offices of wife and mother. This is the law of the Creator." Former U.S. Rep. Barbara Jordan, now a University of Texas professor of public af- fairs, offered an eloquent reply to such sentiments. She told the Atlanta Conference of her vision of better government in which men and women join to make decisions based on the experience and common con- cern for the welfare of their families. She deplored the shunting aside of values that women have to offer. "This must not be," she insisted. "Our task is too great, our hold on the future too tenuous, our time too short; the space we occupy too small. And life too great to hang out a sign: 'For Men Only.'

Arthur Courshon Friday, April 1, 1988/The Jewish Floridian Page 27 Jefferson Bancorp Jefferson Bancorp, Inc. hosted a champagne luncheon at Hemingway's Restaurant in Hollywood last week to in- troduce city and state representatives to its three recently acquired branches in Broward County. Jefferson acquired the former Broward Bank and its branches in Lauderdale Lakes, Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood. Last year, it ac- quired a bank in Boca Raton, giving it a total of 10 banking offices. Arthur H. Courshon, founder of Jefferson Bank 25 years ago and the current chairman of the board of Jef- ferson Bancorp, Inc., made brief remarks during the luncheon. "We have never sought size. Size isn't always safety," said Courshon, a lawyer and long- time Miami Beach resident. "I have a service disability from World War II called 'no guts.' I'm concerned about the return on your money." He called Jefferson Ban- corp's capital base "probably the strongest in the country." The corporation, started with one bank and assets of $1 million, now has $315 million and a ratio of capital over assets of about 12 percent. Issuing a good-natured war- ning to the dozen or so govern- ment officials present, Cour- shon said: "We get involved in issues. We don't believe in neutrality. We're here and we want to get involved with the issues of the town whether it's daycare or health care for senior citizens. One of my closest associates and partners is (U.S. Rep.) Claude Pepper. He's been my mentor. I know the needs of the senior citizens." Courshon also told the guests that the bank, "is not here to take money out of the community and lend it elsewhere." Leonard Grand, one of the founders of Broward Bank, was the only member of his board to join Jefferson Ban- corp after the merger. Grand, now vice chairman of the board of Jefferson Bank, said, "Jefferson was 10 times our size. So, as a consequence of that, it can provide a much higher level of expertise and a variety of services." PAMPERED LADY 1589DADELAND MALL MIAMI 232-5239 GLOBAL HERITAGE INC.

Demonstrators Test Embassy Protests By DAVID FRIEDMAN WASHINGTON (JTA) - Two Soviet Jewry activist organizations demonstrated in front of the Soviet Embassy here and gave local police pass- ing marks. The Union of Councils for Soviet Jews and the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry had gathered to "test the waters" of the Supreme Court's deci- sion limiting enforcement of a law banning demonstrations within 500 feet of a foreign embassy. The 8-0 decision by the court would still allow the police to break up a group of three or more people if they disrupted the activities of the embassy or threatened security. But the decision bans police action against ''peaceful congregations." About 30 people participated in the test, including Sens. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) and Dennis DeConcini (D- Ariz.). They sang "Hatikvah" and other songs in front of the embassy fence, using bullhorns, and even sat on the sidewalk. they did not block? sidewalks or bar people & entering or leaving theZ bassy, according to Set cT Nelson of District of ColuS police. He added that 2 had not decided what lewE noise would be tolerated. The Supreme Court deciaor was in two parts. By a fiVe; three vote, the court stnri down a section of the 50-year old law that made it illegal to display any sign within sn feet of an embassy that wouij bring a foreign government it to 'public odium" Ml "disrepute." Justice Sandra Day O'Con- nor, who wrote the decisicm, said the ban on the signs wasi violation of the First Ameni rnent "by prohibiting peti- tioners from engaging in classically political speech" oo public sidewalks. O'Connor said she agreed that the government must pro- tect foreign embassies, but she said the 1938 law was too broad.

Approaching the problem from a law enforcement angle, the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith and police representatives announced the formation of a tri-county youth gang task force to detect trends and gather statistics on juvenile crime. The task force will consist of law enforcement officials from Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties, said Arthur Teitelbaum, southern area director of the ADL. A "multi-agency" computer system will be made available for the program, Teitelbaum said. The name of the agency providing the computer ser- vice will not be revealed, he said ADL officials will help set up the task force but it will be run by the law enforcement of- ficials. Teitelbaum hinted that the task force is desperately needed. But speaking in general terms, he said: "This will provide a resource which does not currently exist a tri-county computer-supported information center. It will also encourage the cross-county cooperation between law en- forcement agencies." The ADL has been monitor- ing youth gang activity, par- ticularly when it has com- ponents of anti-Semitism, racism, and anti-immigrant ideology, Teitelbaum said. The ADL has noted in its recent reports activities involving the Skinheads, a neo-Nazi youth gang that has been associated with anti-black and anti- Semitic violence around the country. Skinhead gangs have recently been identified in South Florida. Vandalism has also been in- creasing as the number of Continued from page 25 cover bases from Tallahassee to local municipalities, in- cluding supporting a state measure that would limit the sale of spray paint and items such as markers to minors without parental permission. The Dade County League of Cities is involved, as well. The League will ask cities and the county government to pass strict ordinances against graffiti. "Laws have to be passed. We'll be encouraging our members, which include all the cities. Metro-Dade and the School Board, to really join in the fight against graffiti," says Russ Marchner, executive director of the League. School children can expect to see a film still in production - whose message will, in essence, start a say-no-to- graffiti campaign. . And Clean Up Graffiti youth gangs increase in the area, according to Metro-Dade Police Detective Charles Fer- rante. The detective recently told The Jewish Floridian that 10 years ago he knew of only two youth gangs in the area. Last year, there were an estimated 46 gangs, he said. This year, there are approx- imately 73 active gangs in South Florida with some 1,300 to 1,500 members. IN a related development, The Florida Department of Education has appointed a commission to review social studies curriculum and create a model course on Holocaust education, the Florida Associa- tion of Jewish Federations reports. Several Federation Com- munity Relations Councils have been involved in an effort to include the Holocaust education as a part of the re- quired curriculum of public schools to show what happens when prejudice runs riot in society. Public testimony will be taken later this year by the Department's commission. Debra Sari Linn TAG began as a project of the Board of Realtors in Miami but has since joined forces with Keep Dade Beautiful, a county-sanctioned committee. The task force is now seeking support from homeowners and some of the major victims of graffiti such as Florida Power and Light and bus bench advertisers. "Then we got people who read about us who were plain 'Mad-as-heck-not-going-to- take-it-anymore,' says Liz Hubbart, spokesman for the Board of Realtors and member of TaskForce. THE realtors became involv- ed because the graffiti was, in effect, in their back yards. Ex- plains Hubbart: "It is a pro- blem that effects every person in Dade County whether they own, rent or are just visiting here. It costs the owners of property a lot of money to repair the damage. The pro- perty owner has to pass these so the tenant/lessor cost passed on to costs on, gets the him." Real estate is Simon's specialty, yet she doesn't cite a lack of parks or recreational facilities for youths as the root of the problem. "The problem is parental neglect," Simon says. "They don't know their kids are do- ing it and they don't care a lot. It's a social problem and . middle class America is just as guilty as any other part. "Do your thing!" Simon urges parents. "Watch your kids." ELLEN ANN STEIN The Response is Education By DEBRA SARI LINN A giant swastika covers the wall of a synagogue. The time and place is not Nazi Germany. In fact, the time is February 27, 1988, and the synagogue is Bet Shira Con- gregation in South Dade. Four high school students defaced the temple's newly constructed buildings. These students are not gang members. They are not teens with police records. They are actually good students and members of their high schools' football teams. The question that naturally arises after hearing this information is why. Why would seemingly model teenagers exhibit such a display of violence and anti-Semitism? What could have caused it? Does it spawn from latent feelings of hatred and prejudice in the ethnically interm- ingled community of South Florida? Every public high school in Dade has its shaven-head members of the Skinheads and its violence prone members of ethnic gangs. These, however, are problems in themselves. The damage done to Bet Shira Congregation is an example of mainstream anti-Semitism. The first step to combat this frightening problem must be in the high schools themselves. Reverting back to the tactics of the 1960s, many schools attempt to rectify the troubling situation with "rap" groups. If these groups represent the diverse popula- tion of the schools and are not self-contained discussion groups for already close friends, then such a plan of action might work. The sessions could act as a catharsis of emotions and deep-seated hatred. Rap groups are just a beginning. As is the case with most forms of prejudice, ignorance is the cause of the hatred. Schools, as institutions of learning, should try to do what they do best: teach. Perhaps county-wide classes in ethnic and religious culture and history would eradicate some age-old myths. After education, community involvement is necessary. Adults, civic and religious leaders must join in the fight against pre- judice. Programs like "A World of Difference" and Miami Beach Senior High's ethnic awareness programs are starting points but were not far-reaching enough in their attempts. In light of the recent display of anti-Semitism and vandalism, the South Florida community must band together. Now is the time for decisive action, and the best place to begin is in the beginning: in the schools with education. Debra Sari Linn is a senior at Miami Beach Senior High School. We wish you a Happy Passover Synagogue Defacements Two Palm Beach County synagogues were defaced with anti-Semitic graffiti this past weekend.

Bridging the Cultural Gap What is the current reality behind the much-discussed Ashkenazi-Shephardi divide? New studies by Shlomo Yit- zhaki and Shmuel Amir give a mixed picture. Education levels of both groups have grown and the gap in average income has narrowed. Discrimination against Sephardis has declined and there are considerably more Sephardi Jews in positions of influence than ever before. However, while educational levels have improved for everyone, those of Ashkenazis have improved faster, thus the gap has widened.

The "Prague Haggadah" of 1526 used fine wood engravings to decorate its borders, letters, and artwork. The first printed Haggadah carries the date 1505. The Passover service became so long during the Middle Ages that it was even- tually divided into two parts, narration and explanation of symbols dominating the first half followed by grace and holi- day songs after the meal. Re- cent adaptations have not been so drastic, but change goes on nevertheless. Shape, size, col- or, style, and perspective have all been affected. What follows is a sampling of Haggadot currently on the market. These and others even one where kids can color while they pray are all available at Judaica Enter- prises, N. Miami Beach. Paperbacks There are those Haggadot created with large groups in mind. If budget is a factor, then popular paperback edi- tions would probably suffice. They employ no gimmicks and are well-suited to the needs of "igious schools and re synagogue seder celebrations. "The Passover Haggadah" revised in 1986 by Morris Silverman (Prayer Book Press, 88 pages, $6.60) utilizes bold type which makes it easy to follow. There is an English transliteration of all Hebrew blessings and songs. Similarly, "Passover Hag- gadah" by Shilo Publishing House (84 pages, $1.25) ex- periments with color only on the cover. Dark print dominates, while black and white illustrations are found on almost every page. The paperback Haggadah released by Shulsinger Press in 1981 (64 pages $2.50) has done its own experiment with color. Exceedingly bold print renders it practical, while the effective use of lavender print and sketches proves that special touches need not be sacrificed when books are pro- duced in large quantities. "The Haggadah" prepared by Ktav Publishing House (49 pages, $1.25) was first publish- ed in 1949. Four editions exist, including the latest by Rabbi Nathan Goldberg. Despite a minimum of illustration and total lack of color, the book is well designed and easy to read. Not all Passover paperbacks "V accomplish what they inte, "An Israel Ha^adah^ Mey.erkLevin (Harry Ab j Publishers, 128 pages uZ uses 70 scenic illustrations J Israel interspersed wi,k English, Hebrew 3 "The Diasporah Haggadah" (Yaniv Enterprises, Tel Aviv, 64 pages, $29.95) employs striking illustrations and elaborate typeset. Effective art is probably the reason it will, in the words of its publishers, "reach out to our fellow Jews in many lands throughout the world." Already "The Diaspora Haggadah" has been released in Spanish, Por- tuguese, French, German, Italian, and Russian. In this version, prayers, songs, and explanations in Hebrew, English and transliteration take the reader step- by-step through the seder process. Yet, the hardcover text is probably too cumbersome for most seder tables, and or- nate print makes it difficult to read. It is recommended as a collectable. "The Artscroll Youth Haggadah" (Mesorah Publishers, 62 pages, $13.95).. Don't let the title mislead; this one is not for kids alone. In fact, the publishers seek "a partner- ship of all generations" at the family seder. No doubt they'll succeed if only for a format that is visually pleasing. This is the only Haggadah which employs large and easy-to-read multi-color or print. Detailed text is softened by illustrations on almost every page. A new translation deviates from the text to clarify difficult passages. Boxed commentary at the bottom of many pages explains some of the more provocative sections. There is no age gap here. "The Golden Haggadah of Jerusalem" (Palphot Ltd., Herzlia, Israel, 80 pages, $31.95). This is probably one of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Aster and Family Wish All Their Friends A Very Happy Passover Dr. Zalman Bachelkov DDS and Staff Wish Everyone A Very Happy Passover Dr. and Mrs. Jack H.

Dauer Mr. and Mrs. Roger A. Dauer Wish All A Very Happy Passover Mr. and Mrs. George Feldenkrels and Family Wish All Our Friends A Happy Passover the most expensive Haggadot on the market. But, cost in this case does not connote value. Its long, horizontal shape and excess weight make it hard to handle. A boxed cover no doubt will protect but also adds to its unwieldy nature. The emphasis here is on text rather than explanation. The Hebrew is done in calligraphy and its not particularly legible. Dramatic, full-page illustrations of celebrants then and now are probably its best feature. It might better be found on a coffee table than Passover table. "Passover" (Israel. 143 pages, $14.95) is no doubt the most striking of all Haggadot on the local market. Clearly it fulfills its claim as "the Haggadah for all year round." On several counts, it makes the perfect gift. Small and square, the book is very easy to handle. Yet, size in no way diminishes its splendid effect. In fact, the overall product is so appealing that the reader might very well put up with small print. Black pages are covered with distinctive white and gold print. Imposing illustrations from the paintings of Rabbi Yossi Rosenstein complement the text. "Yeshiva University Haggadah" (Steven Cohen and Kenneth Brander, 1985, 111 pages, $11.95). It's not sur- prising that the only Haggadah with elaborate footnotes was bom on a college campus. An anthology of commen- tary affirms its academic origin. Ten articles examine sub- jects such as "The Irony of Passover" and "When the Hag- gadah Is Not the Haggadah."

Page 38 The Jewish Floridian/Friday, April 8, 1988 Deaths Author Philip Birnbaum NEW YORK (JTA) - Funeral services were held here for Jewish author and editor Dr. Philip Birnbaum of New York who died here of natural causes at age 83. Responsible for about 75 works in Hebrew and English, Birnbaum is probably best known for his version of the Hebrew prayerbook "Ha Sid- dur Hashalem," also known as the Birnbaum siddur. Original- ly published in 1949 by the Hebrew Publishing Co. of Brooklyn, NY, it was the first to include prayers for daily as Marc el la S. Kanner Marcella S. Kanner, former president of the Sisterhod of Temple Israel of Greater Miami, died March 26, at Mount Sinai Medical Center after a short illness. Mrs. Kanner, who was 79 years old, actively presided for many years over the Sisterhood and over the Southeastern Federation of Temple Sisterhoods. Born in Chicago, she moved to Miami in 1924 and, a year later, entered the University of Miami as a member of its first graduating class. She is survived by her hus- band. Aaron, a Miami lawyer whom she married in 1928. her sons Richard (Regina) and Lewis (Marcia); and her grand- children. Jacqueline, Sam. Sharon, Sandra and Ellen. Services were held at Tem- ple Israel, followed by inter- ment in Graceland Memorial Park. Minerva Traeger Minerva Traeger, of Ken- dall, died on March 23 at the age of 78. A former resident of Chicago, she had lived in Florida for the past 64 years. She was the wife of David; the mother of Carol (Harry) Roisman of Kendall and Bar- bara Traeger of North Miami; well as holiday use in one volume. Three major Birnbaum sid- durs are in use worldwide: the "Daily Prayer Book (Hashalem)," the "High Holy- day Prayerbook" and the "Prayer Book for Sabbaths and Festivals." The siddurs were published independently of any religious affiliation. Although Birnbaum was Or- thodox, his works have been used by the Conservative movement, as well. Birnbaum wrote, edited and translated in Hebrew and English. He was considered to be profoundly interested in education and in opening Jewish learning to the Jewish masses.

Goldstein has assembled 41 |ch color photographs as well i artifacts made and used by ihiopian Jews in an exhibit at will be on display in the le Beth Am gallery oiigh April 20.

The photos kre selected from a collection |ren by Goldstein and New City photographer Har- I Edward Weberman. pe exhibit was planned to ncide with Passover, the of freedom. "We nted to remind people that I all Jews are free," says lldstein. fhe exhibit also initiates an pensive project of the "orm South Dade jogue on behalf of Ethio- Jews. The project in- ves the day and religious >S school children in collections of food, money, medical supplies, toys and other items. Golds- tein says the synagogue is also hoping to lead the first con- gregational mission to Ethiopia in the fall. The title of Goldstein's ex- hibit: "Abandon Me Not The Jews of Ethiopia," comes from an old Ethiopian Jewish prayer: "Do not separate me 0 Lord from the chosen, from the joy, from the light, from the splendor. Let me see 0 Lord, the light of Israel. Aban- don me not!" Goldstein's visit to Ethiopia and her work with Ethiopians who were fortunate enough to make it to Israel, moved her deeply. "The Jews in Ethiopia are starving to death. They're not only beleagured by anti- Semitism and not allowed to emigrate," she says. "They face all the prejudices that Jews in other countries face, like Soviet Jews. The wild card in Ethiopia is they are starv- ing. They're not going to live. They have to have help now." Goldstein also found an in- credible story about the nature of the estimated 15,000 to 20,000 Jews remaining in Ethiopia. "UNTIL 100 or so years ago, the Ethiopian Jews were unaware that there were other Jews left in the world. They thought they were the last Jews and that they had been preserving Judaism. "We don't know where they come from. The only thing that we do know for sure is that they're Jewish, that they've been separated from mainstream Judaism for at least 2,000 years and that many of them are practicing Judaism at the risk of their lives." Ethiopian Jews see their plight as a modern day Exodus. When two of the Ethiopian Kes', or priests, discovered ?v. J^Se "Kes" or priest. Ethiopian Jews follow pre-raAbinw '" and do not have rabbis. Behind the priest are prayer Goldstein was a rabbi, they in- vited her to their huts, where they keep the Torah. Their Torahs are in book form, writ- ten in Ge'ez, an ancient Semitic language. "When they finished reading the story of Exodus, one of the Kes' turned to me and said, 'Now it's time for God to bring us home to Israel.' " Goldstein says she found it "incredible" that Judaism has been so important to these Ethiopians that they have car- ried on the traditions as best they could even though Hebrew was lost to them thousands of years ago. The way in which they prac- tice their Judaism is a phenomenon in itself. "In terms of Judaism, the Ethiopian Jews are pre- rabbinic," says Goldstein. "They were separated from mainstream Judaism before the onset of rabbinic Judaism. They base their Judaism solely on what's in the Torah as op- posed to what's in the Talmud and codes and later rabbinic writing." FOR example, an Ethiopian Jew will observe all the holidays that are in the Torah such as Sukkot, Shavuot, Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah. They do not observe the rab- binic holidays such as Purim, Chanukah or Tu B'shevat. On the other hand, the Ethiopian Jews are the only Jews left who observe Rosh Chodesh, or the advent of the full moon, as a full holiday. "There are fascinating theories of where they came from," says Goldstein, who wrote a paper on Ethiopian Jews during her years of rab- binic study in Israel. "There are people who claim they were descendants of the lost tribe of Dan. There is one per- son who claims that when Moses and the Jews were leav- ing Egypt, somehow a group of people got lost and ended up in Ethiopia instead of the Sinai. Personally, I don't see how you could lose 600 people in the desert." THE Jewish population in Ethiopia has been decimated, according to Goldstein. There used to be some 500,000 Jews in Ethiopia. Today there are estimated to be fewer than 20,000. At one point among the ruling class, the Jews ir Ethiopia have fallen frorr power and have not been abU to own land for the past 300 years. Negative publicity about the Ethiopian government has "no doubt hurt the Ethiopian Jews there." says Goldstein. On the other hand, she adds, the awareness of the worldwide Jewish community has been raised. In November and December of 1984, a secret airlift evacuated Ethiopian Jews from Sudan to Israel. The airlift was initiated when Ethiopians who had managed to get to Israel some, by walking from Ethiopia to Eilat, the resort on Israel's southern tip urged officials to help them get their people out. Publicity about the airlift put a halt to it. And the plight of the Ethiopian Jews An Ethiopian Jewish child poses in his village with the Carna- tion milk bar which Rabbi Goldstein smuggled into Ethiopia. The bar has the equivalent of one-half cup of milk, a lifesaving com- modity in this poverty-stricken nation. worsened. "Operation Moses was not airlifting people out of Ethiopia," explains Goldstein. "They were lifted from Sudan and first had to walk to Sudan. So the first priority was you had to have strength, stamina and the health to get out. The older people, women and babies who were sick were all left behind in Ethiopia. That means the ones left behind now are much more vulnerable. They're the ones not strong enough to go." LIFE was not always easy for the Ethiopian Jew who made it to Israel. Because they had lived by pre-rabbinic stan- dards, there was no way to determine their background as Jews, and Goldstein says many were considered non-Jews and had to undergo conversion to Judaism. Rabbi Lynn Goldstein "Here are people who risked their lives to get to Israel," Goldstein says with disgust at the policy of forced conver- sion. "That has changed. There have been protests by Ethiopian Jews and non- Ethiopian Jews all over the country. Now they are recognized as Jews until the point when they get married then they have to prove they are Jewish." Their adjustment to life in Israel has been difficult, but under the circumstances, they are doing extremely well. The Ethiopian Jews had never seen modern conveniences in their African nation and had put their children on shelf-like per- ches to sleep in shacks and huts made of sticks and mud. "THE Talmud teaches us that all Jews are responsible for one another," says Golds- tein. "Hillel taught: 'If I'm not for myself, who will be for me; If I am only for myself, what am I? If not now, when?' "This teaches us that we have to care for ourselves and others as well. But the last sentence in particular is very frightening when applied to the situation of the Ethiopian Jews; because it really is a question of, if we don t help now, there won't be a future for the community. "Every year at Passover we say, 'Next year in Jerusalem!' And as we say that, we should remember there are Jews in Ethiopia for whom that's a lifesaving prayer." India Won't Send Team TEL AVIV (JTA) The In- dian government, reversing an earlier decision, announced it will not send its Davis Cup ten- nis team to play in Israel next month, even though it means India will be barred from the Davis Cup matches next year. Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi told the Parliament in New Delhi that the Indian team will not be allowed to play the Israelis in the qualifying mat- ches, due to be held in the Ramat Hasharon Tennis Center from April 7 to 9.

"Most of the time it's the board saying, 'You'll take what we give you and you'll like it.' Period. Exclamation point," he said. But when Temple Israel in Orlando, Fla., where Rosen is congregation president, need- ed to succeed the resigning Rabbi Chaim Rozwaski, Tem- ple Israel's Rabbinic Search Committee decided to take its search for a new rabbi directly to the congregants. Now, as the result of a survey answered by more than 300 families, or 60 percent of the congregation, Rosen has a pretty good idea what type of rabbi the membership has in mind. The survey asked questions about level of observance, the role of women in the synagogue, how much Hebrew should be in the service, and what the members wanted in a rabbi. Some of the questions in- vited dissent: How old should the new rabbi be? Should he or she speak out on issues? Should he or she be highly visi- ble in the community? Should he or she be a he or a she? Other questions were not quite as controversial, such as the one that asked if the new rabbi should be a strong orator. The return rate of the survey, which took at least 20 minutes to complete, was "overwhelming," said Rosen. Temple Israel still wants a Conservative rabbi at its helm, although separate minorities of congrejrants called for one more Orthodox or more Reform. The new rabbi should be 36- to 45-years-old, said the plurality, narrowly edging out the backers of ages 46-55. And in keeping with a desire for total recognition of women in the synagogue, most con- gregants would "strongly agree" to hiring a female rabbi. After further demographic investigation by the Question- naire Committee, chaired by Stuart Farb, it was determin- ed that the new rabbi should observe the Sabbath, but he willing to ride to synagogue for Saturday morning services. "We don't have adequate housing to accommodate a rab- bi and his familv near the synagogue," explained The survey results, part of a profile that h. sent to the United Sv^ of America, the Con* congregational organ* which will then buom ble candidates fof Israel. Rosen and the Search Committee plan candidates request Da these or to terview phone videotape, and then toU the finalists to Orlando fofjl sonal interviews. They hope to .hoose a, rabbi by the summer. ffiHmg! Vanunu Sentenced for Treason By GIL SEDAN JERUSALEM (JTA) - Mordechai Vanunu was sentenced to 18 years in prison by a Jerusalem district court that found him guilty of es- pionage and treason. The panel of three judges who presided at the year-long trial of the former nuclear technician said their sentence took into account extenuating circumstances. These included the accused's complete cooperation and the fact he had been held in solitary con- finement before and during the trial, and will probably be subject to such treatment in the future. Considering that each of the counts on which Vanunu was convicted carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment, the sentence was considered lenient. Vanunu, 34, who once work- ed at the Dimona nuclear facility and later left Israel and Sephardi House Planned converted to the Anglican faith, was found guilty of pro- viding a British newspaper, The Sunday Times of London, with information and photographs that seriously compromised Israel's security. The court rejected appeals by the defense to reduce the sentence because Vanunu acted out of ideological motiva- tions, rather than financial gain. The judges replied that ideological motives do not sanctify criminality. They observed that, in fact, ideologically motivated criminals are more dangerous than others. Vanunu's sentence will be calculated from Oct. 7, 1986, when he was formally ar- rested. He was reported miss- ing from London on Sept. 30, 1986. He claims he was lured to Rome, then drugged and kidnapped by Israeli agents who brought him to Israel against his will.
