\Hiahest Level
llsrael, Egypt Hold Talks
By DAVID LANDAU
JERUSALEM (JTA) The highest level
diplomatic dialogue between Israel and Egypt since the
outbreak of the war in Lebanon in June, 1982, is taking
place in Cairo.
David Kimche, director general of the Foreign
Ministry, is in the Egyptian capital for political talks
which Israeli sources said cover the entire gamut of
liddle East issues and a review of bilateral relations
etween Israel and Egypt.
KIMCHE LEFT for Cairo, and was expected to
eturn soon. He is accompanied by the Ministry s
egal aide, Elyakim Rubinstein. The two Israeli officials
ire scheduled to meet with Egypt's Foreign Minister,
tomal Hassan Ali, and to hold working sessions with top
Mficials of the Egyptian Foreign Ministry. Kimche may
lso call on President Hosni Mubarak, though no meeting
etween them was announced.
The Israeli sources said the visit emerged from
[ Bilateral diplomatic contacts." They conceded, however,
hat the United States has been applying pressure on
rEgypt for some time to thaw the "cold peace' that has
busted since Israel invaded Lebanon. The sources firmly
penied that Kimche's visit was connected in any way with
he current tension in the region involving Syria and the
I.S.

Temple Anshei Shalom has
dramatically increased its mem-
bership in three years from five
Jews who originally met as an
Executive Board, to 550. The
Temple meets weekly in the Car-
teret Savings and Loan Building.
Over the years, Vice President
for Religion. Ben Beck and his
committee have developed the
knack of speedily converting the
Carteret Bank's spacious floor
into a Synagogue seating ap-
proxknately 208 worshippers, be-
fore Friday night Services and
then back to a Bank again, at the
conclusion of the Kiddush follow-
ing Saturday morning Services.
On June 17, 1981, Edward
Dorfman was installed as the
Temple's first elected President.
Coincidentally, Rabbi Bruce S.
Warshal, South County Jewish
Federation Executive Director,
was the first Guest Speaker in
the history of Temple Anshei
Shalom to address an audience at
such installation ceremonies.
In March. 1981, Public Rela-
tions Chairman. Jack M. Levine,
founded, edited and published
the Temple newspaper, "The
Sentinel," and gfcve it the
Hebrew name, "Hashomehr."
Compared to 40 worshippers in
1980, High Holy Days Services in
1981, were attended by 300 wor-
shippers. Oriole Homes Corpora-
tion, without charge, granted use
of the Villages of Oriole Sales Of-
fices. Weekday Succoth services
also were held at the Sales
Offices.
A retired successful business-
man, dedicated to playing Golf,
Ed Dorfman asserted that ha
would be one year, one term,
President. Nevertheless, at the
urring of Mary, his wife and con-
fidante during 46 years of mar-
riage, Ed accepted the nomina-
tion in 1982, and was elected to a
second on year term. This year,
with Mary ailing, at her behest,
Ed agreed to run and was elected
President for another one year
term. Mary had expressed the
wish that she wanted to stand
proudly, shoulder to shoulder
with Ed when Temple Anshei
Shalom completed and opened
the portals of its own House of
Worship. Recently, Mary Dorf-
man passed away.
The Temple has hail to we
makeshift accommodations for
its High Holy Day services, yet
608 worshipped with Anshei
Shalom at the last High Holy
Day season.

A practicing attorney, Levin
was a special assistant attorney
general for the Defender's Office
in Detroit when he decided to
enter politics in 1969. He won a
seat on the Detroit City Council
for two consecutive terms and
was council president for the last
four years. In 1978 Levin ran for
the U.S. Senate and became the
first Jewish Senator in Michigan
history.
As a U.S. Senator, Levin is
active in the movement to secure
the release of political prisoners
and to facilitate emigration from
the Soviet Union. He secured
Senate passage of a resolution
granting permanent resident
status to two Soviet families who
sought refuge in the United
States because of religious
persecution. In recognition of his
efforts on behalf of the religiously

persecuted, The Jewish Theolo-
gical Seminary of America
awarded him its first Herbert H.
Lehman Ethics Medal in 1980
and Christian Solidarity Inter-
national awarded Levin its first
Alexander Solxhenitsyn Award
in the same year.
Levin's wife Barbara is also an
attorney and they have three
teen-aged daughters. Levin is
currently a member of the Armed
Services Committee, the Govern-
ment Affairs Committee and the
Small Business Committee.
Percy Calls W. Bank
Settlements 'Provocative'
Continued on Page 11-
NEW YORK (JTA) -
Sen. Charles Percy (D.,
111.), calling Israel's
"extensive" West Bank
settlements "provocative,"
told a group of Jewish
leaders that the settlements
discouraged Jordan from
entering into peace
negotiations with the Jew-
ish State. He said he had
been assured that King
Hussein wants to enter into
negotiations with Israel.
Percy, chairman of the Foreign
Relations Committee, spoke to a
closed meeting of the Conference
of Presidents of Major American
Jewish Organizations. The
meeting with the some 100
Jewish leaders was requested by
Percy, who is seeking reelection.
THE SENATOR said he op-
posed the establishment of an
independent Palestinian state
but asserted that the Palestinian
people needed a national
homeland, which he said should
be in some form of confederation
with Jordan. He said he regarded
Yaair Arafat, the Palestine
Liberation Organization's chief,
ae a "relative moderate compared
with George Habash," the leader
of the Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine."
The senior Senator from
Illinois also defended his support
for the 1981 sale of AW ACS
reconnaissance planes and other
advanced weaponry to Saudi
Arabia, which he termed as a
"moderate" Arab state "com-
pared with Libya and Syria" He
said the military balance had not
shifted against Israel as a result

Rabbi Denounces Reagan
Schindler Denounces Reagan Policies as 'Unprincipled'
HOUSTON (JTA) -
Rabbi Alexander Schindler,
president of the Union of
American Hebrew Congre-
gation, denounced the
foreign and domestic poli-
cies of the Reagan Ad-
ministration as neither
principled nor pragmatic.
In his address last
Friday to the 3,500
delegates attending the
57th biennial assembly of
the UAHC and the 34th
biennial convention of the
National Federation of
Temple Sisterhoods,
Schindler was especially
critical of the Admin-
istration's policy in Central
America.
THE REFORM leader charged
that President Reagan's foreign
policy is one of "an obsession
with force," imposing "military
solutions on crises that are
political, economic and social in
their essence." Schindler said
that while it is true that the
Cubans and Russians "cynically
exploit" the miseries of the
peoples of Central America.
Reagan's response was "largely
counter-productive" because the
Administration has its eyes
"fixed on the superpower game
while ignoring all the local
pawns."
He said that the Reagan
Administration policies "are
neither principled nor pragmatic.
They sow the wind with guns and
bullets and anti-Communist
rhetoric and have already reaped
the whirlwind of violence, death
and anti-American reactions."
Schindler called for "an end to
U.S.. military intervention in El
Salvador and Honduras" and "an
end to the covert war against
Nicaragua." He proposed,
instead, that the Reagan
Administration "seek a
negotiated solution, proffer
unqualified support" for
neighboring Central American
countries "and make a
permanent commitment" in
foreign policy "to democracy,
economic reform and social
justice."
SCHINDLER was also
sharply critical of the Reagan
Administration policies in the
Middle East. He said Israeli
officials with whom he met
recently, including Premier
Yitzhak Shamir, President
Chaim Herzog and Knesset
members, "were much concerned
about the vagueness and the
vacillations of American
diplomacy." He added that "the
constant and capricious shifts" in
U.S. policy "perplex them."
Commenting on the repeated
changes of Reagan Adminis-
tration policy in regard to Israel's
activities in Lebanon, Schindler
said he feared that the "fragile"

forces trom Lebanon and security
arrangements to follow "will be
the price that Israel is asked to
pay for success in the current
Geneva talks" on Lebanon's
national reconciliation.
He declared that the Reagan
Administration "must not broker
agreements one day and on the
next collaborate with one of the
sides to break it," an apparent
reference to Syria.
Focusing on the domestic
policies of the Reagan Adminis-
tration, Schindler noted that at
the UAHC assembly in Boston in
1981, the Reform movement
expressed doubts about the
course the U.S. was following
under Reagan. In his address in
Houston, he observed that "our
apprehensions were fully
justified. Reaganomics has
tightened this nation's belt
around the necks of the poor."
The inflationary cycle "has been
broken, but only by means of a
most severe recession," Schindler
added.
THE REFORM leader also de-
nounced the policy of the Soviet
Union toward its Jewish citizens.
He termed the Soviet regime
"brutal" and "primitive" and
"frightened by the human spirit"
demonstrated by Soviet Jews
enduring persecution and abuse
for seeking to emigrate. He said
Reform Jews must "speak up for
the rights of Russian Jews and
for Ethiopian Jews, too."
Turning to the role of Reform
Judaism in the area of religious
activities, Schindler urged the
delegates to approve a new
Reform Jewish unit to study all
phases of conversion to Reform
Judaism.
He described the goal of the
present UAHC Outreach Task
Force as that of a "positive effort
to come to grips with the reality
of intermarriage, to contain the
loss it threatens to our numerical
strength, and, if at all possible, to
convert that loss into a gain. He
said that the goals of the Out-
reach program were "to make
certain that the majority of inter-
faith marriages will result in the
conversion of the non-Jewish
partner to Judaism, and that the
majority of the children issuing
from such marriages will, in fact,
be raised as Jews."
DECLARING THAT "even
our work with non-affiliated
mixed marriage couples is
encouraging," Schindler said the
effort "established beyond doubt
that they, too, need not be lost to
us, that we can, if we but try,
regain them for our people" He
added that "there is no dilution
of our Jewishness when others
join cur ranks. Quite the
contrary, our Jewishness is
enhanced because of them."
Noting that he had proposed
the Outreach program to the
Reform movement five years ago,
Schindler said a Joint Com-
mission on Outreach had been
created by the UAHC and the
Central Conference of American
Rabbis (CCAR) "to carry
forward" the Outreach program.
But Schindler stressed that the
Reform movement had done very
little research on the aspects of
conversion and he was therefore
proposing the creation of an Ins-
titute for Reform Jewish Public
Policy, jointly undertaken by the
UAHC. the CCAR and the
Hebrew Union College-Jewish
Institute of Religion, the Reform
seminary, "to undertake such a
comprehensive study" of all
elements of mixed marriages and
conversion.
REGARDING ISRAEL,
Schindler declared that American
Reform Jews must do everything
possible to support Israel
"economically and politically and
with every resource at our
command." He said .he was.
making this statement despite
the refusal of the Orthodox-
dominated rabbinate in Israel to
recognize Reform Judaism.
He stressed that he "had
nothing against Orthodox Jews
per se. What I denounce is the
politicized element within
modern Orthodoxy that appeals
to the coercive power of (the
Israeli! State rather than to the
conscience of the individual."
Notmg that the discriminati

How Anti-Semitism Infected Writer Belloc's Mind
By ROBERT SEGAL
One tries hard to be ac-
Irurate, but sometimes
|Dods. Thus, in a March,
[l983 column about the
IChosen People, I erred in
attributing to the British
[poet and essayist, Hilaire
Kelloc, the lines, "How odd
[0f GodTo choose the
Lews."
My attention was called to the
I error by Herbert A. Kenny,
I former book editor of The Boston
Globe. Since thus going astray, I
I jjgye ascertained that the lines
(originated with Norman Ewer;
[and I am most grateful to a
I gracious Herb Kenny for helping
| me set the record straight.
HILAIRE BELLOC'S think-
ling about the Jewish people's
history through five millenia and
especially their place in
England'9 history may be found
Jin his book, "The Jews," pu-
blished in 1922. I have a copy of
the third edition (1937) at hand,
together with Robert Speaight's
The Life Of Hilaire BeUoc."
Let me cite an incisive excerpt
|bout the Jews from a letter
Belloc wrote Speaight: "The poor
darlings (the Jews). I'm awfully
fond of them and I'm awfully
sorry for them, but it's their own
ally fault they ought to have
I let God alone."
In a gallant effort to temper
this thrust, which in a sense
shares the spirit of Norman
Ewer's flip jingle, Speaight com-
mented: The defect of Belloc's
discussion of the Jewish problem,
both in public and in private, was
that he could not take the Jews
naturally."
HILAIRE BELLOC, who
worried about the dual loyalty
problem mentioned so often as a
ihulk'ngc to Jews since the birth
of the State of Israel, was himself
a man of two countries. He was
born near Paris of an English
mother and a French father,
married a Californian, and served
in the French army near the turn
of the century.
But his heart belonged to
England where his stirring verse,
oratorical skill, and prolific pro-
duction of literature, along with
his stout championship of his
Catholic faith, brought consider-
able notice and fame.
In his biography, Speaight
makes it clear that the virus of
anti-Semitism that settled early
in Belloc's mind came in part
from his stout defense of the
French military, judicial, and ec-
clesiastic establishment that
helped make life hell for Alfred
. Dreyfus. That defense, in turn,
was nurtured by the anti-Jewish
polemics of Edouard Drumont.
Belloc blamed Dreyfus'
historic retrial and eventual
vindication on "a small minority
in control of the money-power."
And he criticized Emil Zola,
whose ringing call for justice for
Dreyfus fanned the flames of
Belloc's wrath further.
Speaight writes that when
Belloc was at Balliol, one cause of
his unpopularity was his
"strident, exotic anti-Semitism,"
a reputation that was to dog him
throughout his life.
ONE NEEDS much wider lati-
tude than the space of this
limited column to go into detail
about Belloc's book, "The Jews."
In that wide-ranging work, Belloc
returns frequently to his assur-
ance that he wrote to help, not
harm, this enduring and troubled
people. He feared that what he
termed "concealment" would
serve only to spawn more wide-
spread anti-Semitism. He ap-
pealed for mutual recognition of
the danger of the problem and for
the nurturing of mutual respect.
Yet even in 1937, when Hitler
had clearly telegraphed his deter-
mination to make his contempt
for Jews a key weapon in his
drive for world conquest, Belloc
wrote that the Nazi attack (upon
Jews) was sincere.
Hitler, Belloc opined, was busy
fighting "a European Revolu-
tion," that is, Communism. And
also for those who still make
apologies for Belloc's anti-Semit-
ism: the poor fellow's book, in
part, echoes too much of the
forged writings available in the
Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
THE MODERN Communist
movement was inspired by and
directed by Jews, Belloc wrote.
He sees Jews in control of wealth
and the press. He scores them for
being so secretive and for
arrogantly proclaiming their
superiority over others.
His solution: segregation.
It nearly breaks one's heart to
recall these jaundiced views of a
brilliant human. Charity says be
calm and patient. But zealotry
extracts a huge toll at times. And
Belloc's zeal for his faith and for
England spoiled his determina-
tion to befriend the people of a
more ancient faith.

Media's Double Standard
The tragic history of the Palestinian
people lies in the fact that when they are
slaughtered by their own people and other
Arabs, the world remains silent. Such as
has been the case clearly demonstrated by
the fierce fighting which has erupted in and
around the coastal Lebanese city of Tripoli,
50 miles north of Beirut.
Palestine Liberation Organization Chief
Yasir Arafat and several thousand of his
supporters engaged in combat with Syrian-
backed dissident members of the PLO. The
outcome is heavy with casualties: more
than a thousand civilians including women
and children are reported to have been
killed and wounded.
Arafat has been having difficult times
with his hold on the leadership of the PLO
since he was ousted from Beirut in the
summer of 1982. From there, he and his
entourage moved to various locations only
to take refuge near Tripoli. This, he did,
while at the same time becoming an in-
ternational media star, flirting with
President Reagan's Middle East peace
initiative and all the while claiming
unqualified victory for the Palestinians. He
was backed into a corner in Beirut and
finally into Tripoli. No matter what the
outcome, the events present a stark lesson
in international diplomacy.
The Arab states, contrary to public
statements, never paid much attention to
the Palestinian people.
The United Nations, which kept
busy last year condemning
Israel over and over again during the Peace
for Galilee operation, has not once called for
a UN session on the fighting in Tripoli.
The double standard applied to Israel
has again been demonstrated. The editorial
writers in Washington and Nv. w York have
been silent, and it takes little recall to
remember the vicious anti-Israel attacks
almost daily in American newspapers. The
movers and shakers in Washington have
been silent for their beloved Palestinian
leader and so have the many people who
organized protest marches last year and
took out full-page advertisements publicly
denouncing Israel. They are all silent now
when women and children are needlessly
killed.
No Specifics
'Common Interests' Were Discussed
By DAVID FRIEDMAN
WASHINGTON -
(JTA) Lawrence Eagle-
burger, the Undersecretary
of State for Political Af-
fairs, during his visit to Is-
rael, discussed "strategic
cooperation" between the
United States and Israel by
looking at the "common
interests" of the two
countries not only in the
Middle East but on a global
scale, according to a senior
State Department official.
The official, briefing reporters
on the Eagleburger visit, refused
to discuss specifically what strat-
egic cooperation involved. He
said it required further discus-
sions which would be carried out
when Israeli Premier Yitzhak
Shamir visits Washington,
perhaps as early as this month.
BUT THE official seemed to
rule out two areas of cooperation.
He said the memorandum of
understanding on strategic co-
operation between the U.S. ind
Israel, which has been gathe ing
mothballs for nearly two ye rs.
was not even discussed.
The official also said there was
no discussion of joint Israeli-U.S.
military action in Lebanon. He
said there was no discussion of
getting Israel "back into the act'"
in Lebanon.
At the same time, the official
stressed that the U.S. stands by
the May 17 Israeli-Lebanese
agreement. "This is not an area
of disagreement between us and
the Israelis," he said. The official
maintained that Lebanese Pres-
ident Amin Gemayel also stands
by the agreement and if he should
decide he wants it renegotiated
he would find that the U.S. dis-
agrees.
HOWEVER, the official did
reveal one specific of Eagle-
burger's visit to Israel. The Is-
raelis were told that the U.S. will
approve using foreign military
aids funds for research and dev-
elopments of the Lavie, the plane
the Israelis want to build.

ing turmoil in the region
rather than political
motives.
The Lebanese who shut down
their shops, markets and banks
in the principal cities in the Is-
rael-occupied south were protest-
ing the closure of the Awali River
bridges, a precautionary measure
taken by the Israel Defense Force
following the truck bomb attack
on military headquarters in Tyre.
NO INCIDENTS were re-
ported apart from tire-burning in
some village streets. The IDF did
not intervene. The Awali bridges
were partially reopened yester-
day for pedestrian and limited
vehicular traffic under tight
security control.
On the West Bank, the popul-
ace was venting frustration and
rage against the Syrian-backed
attack on Palestine Liberation
Organization chief Yasir Arafat
who has been driven from his last
strongholds in the refugee camps
of northern Lebanon to the port
area of Tripoli, Lebanon's second
largest city.
Arafat and his loyalists are
clearly in trouble, outnumbered

by PLO dissidents armed and
controlled by Syria. But he ap-
parently has the overwhelming
support of Palestinians on the
West Bank. The Organization of
Fiee Professionals in Beir Hanina
and the Federation of Labor
Unions, both important Pales-
tinian bodies on the West Bank,
called for a ceasefire in northern
Lebanon and denounced Syrian
intervention on the side of anti-
Arafat elements.
A Shaab and AI Fajr. the two
largest pro-PLO newspapers in
East Jerusalem, condemned what
they called "Syrian-Libyan ag-
gression" in Tripoli. Another
major Arabic newspaper, the
conservative Al Kuds, compared
the attacks on Arafat to the
Sabra and Shatila refugee camps
massacre in September, 1982.
THE COMMERCIAL strike in
East Jerusalem was nearly total,
and several schools remained
closed. A strike in Nablus was
less successful. Israeli troops
intervened there to curb stone-
throwing youths. Stones also
flew at Beir Zeit University and
at the Daheishe refugee camp
near Bethlehem where the Israeli
authorities imposed a curfew.
Arab affairs experts contended
that the general strike in south
Lebanon was called by El Amal,
the Shiite Moslem organization.
Meanwhile, Israel kept a watch-
ful eye on both Syria which
mobilized its reserves yesterday
and Tripoli where Arafat is under
heavy Syrian artillery, mortar
and rocket fire. Haaretz reported
today that Egypt has plans to
evacuate Arafat by sea and give
him haven, with Israel's tacit
consent.
Beirut was quiet today after
renewed fighting over the week-
end in which one U.S. Marine was
wounded. About 200 Marines left
their headquarters in Beirut and
were ferried to American troop
transports lying offshore. U.S.
sources said they were to be re-
patriated and replaced by a fresh
Marine contingent.
ISRAEL, for its part, has
taken no action likely to add to
the tensions in the region. Milit-
ary authorities insisted that a
call-up of reserves ordered
last week was a limited exercise
to test the efficiency of the mobil-
ization machinery and had no
warlike intentions.
Premier Yitzhak Shamir
referred to the Syrian mobilize-
lion during a tour of south Leb-
anon. Israel, he said, threatened
nobody, and nobody need fear Is-
rael unless they have "hostile
designs on us." He said that as
long as there was danger to Israel
from Syria or PLO terrorists, Is-
rael had no alternative but to re-
main in south Lebanon. Terrorist
operations against Israel would
only make the day of departure
more distant, he warned.
Only last week. Defense
Secretary Caspar Weinberger, at
a Pentagon briefing for the Na-
tional Council of Young Israel,
said the U.S. opposes using the
military aid for this purpose but
would have no objection to econ-
omic aid being used for the Lavie,
Weinberger, who reportedly
has been the chief obstacle to the
needed U.S. approval to the
Lavie, has been opposed to the
efforts by Secretary of Statt
George Shultz for closer ties with
Israel, arguing that it would
harm U.S. relations with the
Arabs.
BUT THE senior State De-
partment official maintained that
this would not happen. He said
Eagleburger discussed U.S. rela-
tions with the Arabs with the Is-
raelis as well as Israels West
Bank settlement policy. Eagle-
burger stressed to the Israelis
that President Reagan's Sep-
tember 1982 Mideast peace ini
tiative "continues to be our
.policy."
The Israelis expressed several
concerns to Eagleburger. accord-
ing to the official. First they were
worried about Syria'*- increas-
ingly hardline" position, its ref-
usal to negotiate in Lebanon and
the "uncertainty as to the conse-
quences" of the continuing Sy-
rian military buildup much of it
with Soviet arms.
Eagleburger was also told of
Israeli concern that if the inter
mediate range nuclear force
(INF) talks in Europe fail the
Soviets might respond by caus-
ing trouble in the Mideast. The
official said the U.S believes that,
the more likely response by the |
Soviets would be in Europe.
THE EAGLEBURGER visit
grew out of a decision by Shamir
and Shultz that there should be
twice yearly meetings between
Eagleburger and David Kimche.
director general of Israel'
Foreign Ministry to discuss is-
sues other than the Middle East
Kimche was in Washington lift
priag, nd Eagleburger returned
the visit last week. But the situa-
tion last week placed the Midea* |
issue high on the agenda.
In addition to Lebanon and
Syria, the official said there *
great deal of talk about the so-1
viet Union, Central America, am
Africa. The official added to*
Grenada was discussed.
"The Israelis, uiuiketfj,

Mideast File Goes Online Worldwide
Tel Aviv University has just
i.,mched the first international
e database on the subject of
^Middle East: Mideast File,
"Ld and compiled by the
ffah Center for Middle East-
Jf and African Studies. This
Inputerized database, set up by
,he Center in 1979, is now availa-
ble online through Lockheed-
Dialog, the largest international
telecommunications company
nroviding scholars, diplomats,
Jurnalists and businesspeople
irith an instant, comprehensive
source of current information
about the region.
The file, which is also Israel's
first international online data-
base, is produced jointly by the
Shiloah Center and Learned
Information of Oxford, a sub-
sidiary of the Lockheed-Dialog
information network. It contains
some 28.000 items in the form
0f 85 word abstracts in English
_ gleaned from over 900 publica-
tions in seven languages: Arabic,
Hebrew, Persian, Turkish,

Association for Welfare of Soldiers in Israel
On a windswept mountaintop
on the northernmost border of Is-
rael there is a watchtower. In it
several soldiers continuously
scan the horizon with binoculars.
Hour after hour they endure the
cold, the boredom and the isola-
tion to guard their country
against any surprise attack from
hostile neighbors.
Suddenly, a truck pulling a
generator appears on the road to
their tower. It is bright orange
and on its side it bears the words
"The Association for Welfare of
Soldiers in Israel." The young
soldiers put down their bino-
culars and shout: "The Associa-
tion is here!" Smiles appear on
their faces as they rush outdoors
to greet the vehicle.
From it emerges a driver and a
white haired woman, greetings
and good wishes for a happy
Hannukah are exchanged. The
Association volunteers bring out
brightly wrapped gift packages
and platters heaped with jelly
donuts, Israel's traditional
pastry for Hannukah. The sides
of the truck are opened to reveal a
television screen for watching
videotapes or a live broadcast;
there are stacks of books and
games which can be selected to
help pass the lonely hours. After
the gifts have been opened and
the coffee and donuts served,
pleasant conversation takes
place. The volunteers of A.W.S.I,
tell the soldiers how much the
people of the country and Jews
everywhere appreciate what they
are doing and how proud they are
of them. They also tell them how
aware they are of the difficulties
of duty in this isolated spot.
After an hour or so, they leave to
reach the next outpost before
dark.
Day after day, whether in the
cities or the far flung borders, the
Code Started Mobilization
TEL AVIV (JTA) Israel Radio repeatedly
broadcast 14 code words Nov. 9 ordering military
reservists to report to predetermined assembly points.
The mobilization exercise for service personnel and
vehicles was planned some time ago, and military
spokesmen stressed it was not hostile in intent or a
response to the mobilization of Syria's reserves ordered
last week.
TH \T MESSAGE was directed especially toward
Damascus in an effort to reduce the tension which
escalated after the truck bomb attack on Israeli military
headquarters in Tyre. The Israelis held Syria responsible,
at least indirectly, but insisted that Israel was not
threatening any country.
Military spokesmen said the mobilization drill would
be of short duration.

to All!"

Association for Welfare of
Soldiers in Israel helps in dozens
of ways to make the life of Is-
rael's brave, young soldiers a
little easier. More importantly, it
is the presence and link with
civilian life that shows the
soldiers that they are appreciated
and loved by the Jewish people
everywhere.
The Association, now consist-
ing of over 13,000 volunteers in
Israel and supported by Jews and
non-Jews around the world, was
created forty years ago. It began
its work when Jews, in what was
then Palestine, organized the
Jewish Brigade to fight the Nazis
alongside the British Forces.
Since then, the Association has
with the blessing of the govern-
ment of Israel provided the sup-
port system that helps sustain
the high morale and splendid
spirit that has been the hallmark
of the Israel Defence Forces.
Clubhouses, rest and recrea-
tion centers, books and gift
parcels, religious articles, low
cost hotels in cities, roadside
shelters and canteens are but
part of the vast program the As-
sociation finances and admin-
isters to benefit Israel's young
men and women while they serve
their country.
Recently, the Association
embarked on its largest project to
date: namely, to provide an
educational program specially
suited for those from the less
developed countries. Ground has
been broken in the Upper Galilee
tor the AUon Educational Center.
Here, before basic training and
while they are in service, classes
will be held in basic skills such as
reading and writing, Jewish
history and the meaning of Israel
to the Jewish people. In addition,
those qualified will receive special
attention to prepare them for
entrance into the university
system. This latter program will

help close the social and cultural
gap that now exists in Israel. As
part of its world wide effort a
third of the funds for the first
building, estimated at nine
million dollars, has already been
achieved. Some of Israel's best
young instructors volunteered to
teach there with no compensa-
tion. The Association with this
project, exemplifies the care and
concern that has won the appre-
ciation of all those who have
served in the Israel Defence
Forces.

Yiddish TheaterA Joy Forever
By DAVID S. LIPSON
AT LAST after more years
I than I care to remember the
I Yiddish theater has come alive,
land WOW! The indefatigable
land magnificent Ben Bonus, ex-
luberantly supported by a stellar,
I enchanting cast of beautiful peo-
I pie, gives his all to an enthus-
iastic audience at the Norman
Thomas Theater in his "Ah Freil-
lichs" ("Let There Be Joy").
His amazingly inexhaustible
range covers nostalgic cantorial
I solos, clever ensemble spoofs of
I grand opera, to the sentimental
I staples of musical comedy. It is
I all done with irrepressible humor,
I exuberance, inventiveness, and
] infectious Yiddishkeit.
From the arousing, delightful
I overture brilliantly conceived by
William Gunther with klezmer
I highlights to a grand finale paen
Ito nationalism in Israel (I hasten
I to say it is done at the Western
I Wall without any corny banal-
Jity), the audience is completely
I enraptured. Even the original
backdrops are cleverly evocative
I by sensitive suggestion of a lov-
able era in Yiddish theater dom-
inated by the divine Kessler and
I Adler.
THE ZESTFUL opening
dance with inventive choreo-
graphy and an ensemble of charm
I and talent reveals how far Ben
Bonus has escaped from the
dismal routines of traditional
ghetto shund by having the stage
explode with modern Jewish
[youth rooted in undying trad-
' ition. In this production "youth"
is not limited to the unusually
good-looking, professionally
expert chorines and the gifted
dynamism of the male chorus,
but also to the excitement gen-
erated by the ageless team of Ben
Bonus and Mina Bern.
His medley of Yiddish songs
and characterizations has
"heimischeh" lilt that makes one
melt in nostalgia. A wooing scene
from Sholem Alekhem's "The
Big Winner" (music by Secunda)
reveals not only the refreshing
vtvaciouaness of Eleanor Reisse,
the endearing juvenile hero qual-
ity of Bernardo Hitter, but alerts
one to the thrilling revelation of
David Rogow's hitherto hidden
versatility as comedian, uperb
singer, and eccentric dancer
for he's previously played the
elf-effacing, maladroit shnook.
Again, thank you Ben Bonus for
the exhibition of Rogow's many
talents.
The entire production is
redolent with the delicious sweet-
ness of "momma loschen" so that
the audience spontaneously
entered into an occasional sing-
along. The "Blessing of the
Candles" rises above the tradi-
tional "bubbetchkeh" schmaltz
because of the angelic voices of
Jerri Ann Frank and Eleanor
Reissa as well as Tony Masulo's
choreography of the beautiful
dancers in an unobtrusive
obbligato. The scene would
convert the most rabid
"apakoerus." Like the entire
production, the scene rose above
banal, maudlin melodrama.
In an "Ideal Wife," a comedy
murder mystery, starting with
but avoiding the dreary battle of
the sexes, the pungent wit and
inspired acting of Mina Bern and
the uninhibited bravura perfor-
mance of Ben Bonus and the in-
spired David Rogow, the surprise
ending is hilarious. But one must
underscore that the most or-
dinary plot becomes a vehicle for
the most zany inspiration that
never loses the verisimilitude of
authenticity.
PART OF Yiddish theater-
going is the encounter with a
robust audience. At the Norman
Thomas, the audience is com-
posed of the best devotees
("Pattrioten") of the Yiddish
Theater. But at intermission one
is buffetted by a barrage or bar
rier of bumping, buxom bosoms
bless them!
ously provided in happily apt
rhyme by the ever-amazing and
gifted Miriam Kressyn. If not the
Nobel or Pulitzer Prize, surely
there must be the equivalent of
the Tony awards for Miriam
Kressyn and Ben Bonus!
It is likely that Ben Bonus will
take his troupe on tour through-
out America. If it reaches your
city, you'd best get your reserva-
tions well in advance.

Dear Counselor:
I have been suffering with
herpes for two years now. I am
having a lot of trouble coping,
and find it hard to get myself to
go out on dates. I am so afraid
I'll be rejected that I find I am
isolating myself. Is there any-
where I can get help with my
problem?
Sincerely,
o. I .
Dear S.T.
I can understand how difficult
the past two years must have
been for you. Isolating yourself
has not been helpful to you and
has only left you more alone with
your problem.
Although herpes is not life-
threatening, people often react in
negative ways when they contact
the disease. This anxiety often
inhibits their ability to cope. If
you are constantly worrying
about the disease, thinking of
yourself as less worthy, expe-
riencing depression, withdrawing
from others, and searching
frantically for a cure, then you're
suffering from the herpes stress
reaction. This stress reaction ag-
gravates painful feelings and
adds to self-defeating behavior.
It is most helpful for people
suffering from herpes to be able
to talk about their feelings, and
find more productive ways of
coping. Perhaps this would be a
good time for you to explore your
feelings.
Jewish Family and Children's
Service of Boca Raton is current-
ly offering a support group for
herpes sufferers, that meets twice
a month. The group is opened to
new members and you can obtain
more information by calling 395-
3640.

Hartford's Project Renewal Partner City
Delivers Torah to Temple Hit By Arson
Four months ago, several
Torahs of the Emanuel Syna-
gogue in West Hartford, Conn.,
were reduced to ashes when the
ark and the synagogue's chapel
were set on fire. It was one of a
series of arson attacks on area
synagogues and homes of Jews.
There is a $50,600 reward for
information leading to an arrest
of the arsonist or arsonists. The
money was donated by the State
of Connecticut and by many
community organizations.
And now in the true spirit of
the partnership that has been de-
veloped between Jewish Federa-
tions and their "twin" Project
Renewal cities, the congregation
of Emanuel Synagogue received a
Torah from their twin city, Afula,
a city of 21,000 southeast of
Haifa that had its beginnings
in 1924 as a refugee village.
Later, like the neighborhoods of
Kfar Saba, the twinned Project
Renewal city of the Jewish Fed-
eration of Greater Fort Lauder-
dale, the city housed survivors of
the Holocaust and still later
Jewish immigrants from Asia
and Africa.
The presentation of the Torah
was made by the Mayor of Afula,
Ovadia Eli, at a ceremony Sun-
day Nov. 13 at the synagogue.
Susan Chira, in a special report to
The New York Times, wrote:
The congregation of the
Emanuel Synagogue rose as the
Mayor of Afula walked down the
aisle to the ark, holding the
Torah to his chest as he would a
child. The synagogue's rabbi
placed the 100-year-old scroll a
gift of the people of Afula to the
people of the Hartford area in
the ark.
The walls and floor of chapel
were still charred black and the
smell of smoke hung in the room,
but in the main sanctuary of the
synagogue there were tears of re-
birth and joy on the faces of
congregants.
When the citizens of Afula
Bat Mitzvah
heard about the arson attacks,
they decided to give up one of
their Torahs, according to Mayor
Eli. Speaking through an inter-
preter, Marilyn Grant, who lives
in Afula and coordinates Project
Renewal, Mayor Eli said: "It was
a very traumatic thing for them.
They were very afraid for their
brothers and sisters in Hartford.
We're one family and one body,
and when there's a sore on the
arm or leg, the whole body
hurts."
Facing the standing congrega-
tion after the Torah was placed in
the ark, the Mayor told them:
Rikki Spinner

Spinner, daughter of Felice and
Glenn Spinner, will be called to

tennis. Mr. and Mrs. Spinner will

"The Torah was the greatest H
any people ever received. As nl
expression of love or concern and
of true fellowship, we, yo^l
family in Afula, present to you I
the people of Hartford thai
Torah. May we be bound J
closer by it."
Emanuel's Rabbi Gerald Zel J
myer said: "The matches T
aimed at the root of Judaism

ability to take it (the ana
attacks |. The people will lK-eon
will endure."

Judd Hirsch
1 he Jewish Floridian of South County
Pagel5
Doing a CJmnukah Narration
By ROBERTA REBOLD
And SARA WURTZEL
JERUSALEM -
Actors are storytellers,
and I can't help but be one.
I especially enjoy narrat-
ing, because I can shape the
whole story." Tanned and
bearded, his easy-going
manner punctuated with
outrageous imitations and
touching anecdotes, Judd
Hirsch was relaxing with a
cigarette in a Jerusalem re-
cording studio.
Having completed work on the
film version of Herb Gardener's
The Goodbye People," he had
flown to Israel for a few days to
record the narration of "Lights,"
a Chanukah TV special being
produced by Gesher's Jerusalem
Productions.
WE WONDERED what
moved him to doing an animated
fantasy adventure, something
very different from what are
probably his best-known roles as
(he less than whimsical Dr.
Berger in "Ordinary People," or
a* (he sardonic Alex of prime
time sit com "Taxi."
What struck me about this
script is that it leaves you with a
thought. I was interested by the
film s theme the right to be
different." continued Hirsch, who
was pleasantly surprised that the
miiiml track for the 30-minute
hIiuu would be taped in Israel.
There's something to say for
lining this particular film here.
Sure, a I! recording studios are
basically the same, but I know
that outside that door," he
gestured toward the soundproof-
ed, bolted entrance, "out there
it's not New York or L.A. Some-
thing completely different is
going on out there, and it affects
me."
The recording of the "Lights"
narration brought the star on his
second visit to Israel. He first
came here two years ago to film a
series on the history of
civilization. In taking part in
that project, Hirsch said he
learned more than he'd ever
known about Jewish history, and
came to feel that he would some-
how visit Israel again. "I always
knew I would come to Israel be-
cause of my birth and 'family'
even though I have no relatives
here."
WITH A warm and straight-
forward yet streetwise manner,
Hirsch could be anyone's uncle
from the Bronx. His life story is
familiar: the son of poor immi-
grant parents who "made good."
Born "a while back" to a Russian
mother and Dutch-English fath-
er, Hirsch went the route of many
New York Jewish youngsters.
He reminisced about his own
Jewish education. Although he
attended Hebrew school, the only
Hebrew he remembers are the
words his teacher barked on his
daily entrance: Shvu Yashar! (Sit
up straight).
Like other Jewish American
families, the Hirsch's observed
only the most basic aspects of
Judaism. Judd Hirsch remem-
Ikts Passover seders as a time of
levity, humor, and family togeth-
erness. "It wasn't until recently
that my 80-year-old father has
caught up with the seriousness of
being a Jew," said Hirsch.
HIS MOTHER, whom Hirsch
described as being "much more in
the Jewish idiom," conducted
what appeared to be a mysterious
ritual. Every Friday afternoon,
she'd temporarily retreat from
the family bustle. Leaving ques-
tions of "What's for dinner,
Mom?" unanswered, she'd rise to
light candles and silently mouth
a prayer. Then, without a word
of explanation, without missing a
beat, she'd resume her role
"pot roast tonight."
Easily imaginable as a class
clown, Hirsch didn't embark on
his acting career until the age of
25. Although he has a degree in
physics from New York's City
College, he admits that he just
wasn't satisfied with his first job.
"I started to work as an engineer,
but I knew I was kidding myself.
Then I took a small acting calas,
and all of a sudden, things came
together," he smiled.
Hirsch clearly delights in
telling about his professional
debut as an actor. His job was to
entertain the tourists in a Rocky
Mountain park by staging a kind
of wild west street theater. "Mel-
lerdramas," he chuckled. "That's
what they called them. I was
JUDD HIRSCH: 'actors are storytellers'
always the villain. My entire
costume consisted of a pair of
sneakers and a cape." With more
than a touch of pride he added,
"Two-gun showdowns were our
specialty."

Passes Away at Age 102

NEW YORK (JTA)-
Dr. Mordecai Kaplan, the
founder of the Reconstruc-
tionist movement and con-
sidered one of the most in-
fluential scholars in the his-
tory of Judaism, died Nov.
8 at the Hebrew Home for
the Aged in Riverdale, N.Y.
He was 102 years old.
Many of the key developments
in Jewish life today are based on
concepts Kaplan developed
during his long career
concepts like the organic Jewish
community, Judaism as a
religious civilization with its
spiritual center in Israel, the syn-
agogue center and summer camp
movements, Jewish community
centers, the public celebration of
Rat Mitzvah, and an American
version ol the European self-gov-
erning Jewish community
Ikehilla).
KAPLAN'S ideological history
was one of a struggle between the
Orthodox beliefs he was taught
and by which he lived, until he
decided that such a Jewish out-
look was incompatible with the
outlook of Jews born and raised
in the unique freedom of Ameri-
can life. Out of that struggle, the
Reconstructionist philosophy
emerged. He was denounced by
the Orthodox who put him in
herem (excommunication), a
somewhat less than drastic ban
in an open society.
Kaplan originally developed
Reconstructioniam not as
another branch of Judaism but as
a stimulation to thinking in non-
Orthodox forums. His ideas pro-
foundly influenced Reform and
Conservative Judaism. But the
pressures for change which his
teachings generated led to the
crystallization of the movement
in its own institutions.
One was the Society for the
Advancement of Judaism (SAJ),
the pilot Reconstructionist con-
gregation in Manhattan, which
Kaplan founded and served as
rabbi even while continuing his
teaching duties at the Jewish
Theological Seminary of America
and his busy schedule of writing
and lecturing.
KAPLAN ALSO founded the
Reconstructionist Rabbinical
College in Philadelphia and
taught in it. The Reconstruction-
ist movement also has a network
of congregations in many parts of
the United States and Canada, in
addition to the Mevakshei
Deruch synagogue in Jerusalem,
and i> own journal, "The Recon-
structionist."
With the publication in the
1930s of his major work. "Juda-
ism as a Civilization," Kaplan
delineated the basic structure of
his outlook, in which he defined
the elements of an "evolving reli-
gious civilization." This was to
be developed in his prolific
writing over many decades. A
bibliography of his printed works
on the occasion of his 100th
birthday included over 700 items.
Born in Lithuania, Kaplan
came to the U.S. with his parents
at the age of eight. A student at
the JTS from the age of 12,
Kaplan was ordained in 1902 and
began to serve as "minister" of
Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun
in New York. Later be became
the rabbi there after receiving his
ordination on a trip to Europe in
1908.
Kaplan was considered an in-
tellectual giant and was one of
the key figures, along, with Judah
Magnes, Israel Fnedlander and

WASHINGTON -
(JTA) Rep. Clarence
Long (D., Md.), who has
been the target of a radio
commercial by an Arab
group for his leadership in
providing U.S. aid to Is-
rael, has charged that the
Arab oil-producing
countries have "extorted"
billions from the U.S.
"Isn't it ironic that Arab-af-
filiated organizations are com-
plaining when the OPEC nations
have extorted $335 billion in ad-
ditional revenues from American
consumers as a result of the oil
price increases begun in 1973,"
Long said as he received the
Emunah Women of America's
Man of the Year award in New
York last Wednesday night.
"That's almost twice as much as
the current U.S. deficit."
LONG SAID the radio com-
mercial, sponsored by the Na-
tional Association of Arab Amer-
icans (NAAA) which attacks
U.S. aid for Israel and Long for
supporting this aid, "is hate
campaign."
The 74-year-old chairman of
the House Appropriations Com-
mittee's subcommittee on foreign
operations has been a leading
proponent in Congress of provid-
ing aid to Israel. "Our support of
Israel is not only baaed on moral
and democratic grounds, but also
on the fact that Israel is our key
strategic asset in the Middle
East, Long told the Emunah
Women.
The NAAA commercial was
refused by radio stations in
Baltimore where Long's Con-
gressional district is located, but
was played by WTOP-AM in
Washington, D.C.
"AT A TIME when there's less
for all Americans, when unem-
ployment affects millions, when
we are suffering the tragic effects
of Israel's invasion of Lebanon, is
it fair for Congress to give $2.6
billion to Israel?" the commercial
asks.
It answers its own question:
"This is not fair; this is out-
rageous. Congressman Clarence
Long is at the forefront of this
more for Israel' campaign." The
commercial asks listeners to
protest to Long.
A spokesman for Long said he
was concerned about the com-
mercial. He said there were re-
ports that it will be played
throughout the country and was
thus being heavily financed. Re-
districting in 1982 removed most
of the Jewish-populated areas
from Long's district.
SOME YEARS and many fOm
and television roles later, Hirsch
has never abandoned the stage.
"I tend to think my acting will
somehow deteriorate if I'm not
involved in live performance," he
said. In 1980, Hirsch was critical-
ly acclaimed for his leading role
in the award-winning Broadway
play, "Tally's Folly." He
compared film acting to acting
onstage.
1 Making films is gruelling, but
once they're over you're on to
something else. Plays go on and
on. But you can't really repeat a
performance, because each time
you do it it's new, and your
thoughts are different. The
audience is different. After all,
they've never experienced the
play, even if it's almost routine to
the performers. When I keep that
in mind, I never feel like I'm
growing old in a part."
Judd Hirsch's contribution to
"Lights" will be anything but
routine. With his versatile, au-
thoritative voice and natural feel
for language, his narration adds a
special touch to a unique project.
"Lights" promises to be a re-
freshing change from the usual
television fare, and seems to have
meant something special to its
narrator as well.
