No Date Set Carter to Meet Begin, Sadat By JOSEPH POLAKOFF WASHINGTON - (JTA) The White House announced that President Carter will meet separately with President Anwar Sadat of Egypt and Prime Minister Menachem Begin of Israel in Washington next month, but the "exact dates are undecided." Presidential Press Secretary Jody Powell, who made the announcement, said, "The purpose is to review the progress and pace of the autonomy nego- tiations for the West Bank and Gaza. The negotiations are being conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Camp David accords signed by all three leaders on September 17,1978." A SHORT time later, at a second briefing, Powell an- nounced that special Ambas- sador Sol Linowitz, President Carter's envoy to the autonomy talks, would be on his way within days for Egypt and Israel to meet with the leaders of those coun- tries and then go to Alexandria to attend the plenary session of the autonomy negotiations. The last plenary session was held in The 1 lague on Feb. 28 and 29. Powell said, "The purpose of his trip will be to pursue the negotiations and, of course, to that purpose has now been added the preparations for the meetings" of Carter with Sadat and Begin in April. Asked whether the President is averse to a summit meeting of all three leaders and why they will be meeting separately, Powell replied: "The reason for these meetings is that all of the parties to the Camp David accords felt that the time was appropriate, given the importance of the issues under negotiation and the May 26 goal, and for the architects of the Camp David accords to discuss the progress made to date and explore means to move forward. It was the judgment of those involved that this would be best accomplished under the format I described." PRESSED repeatedly as to whether progress in the autonomy talks has come to a halt and that the May 26 goal may not be reached, the White House spokesman pointed out that "The are meetings in support of the ongoing negotiations" and that it is "a different situation that what we faced in the summer of 1978" when "there was no framework for discussions, very little agree- ment on any issues and no peace" between Egypt and Israel. Powell suggested to reporters that they should not lean in the direction that the upcoming meetings are a "process" toward a summit meeting involving the three leaders. "These meetings are not to replace the negotiating process but to support the existing process," he said. Powell also insisted that the May 26 date is a "goal," not "a deadline." But, he said, "every effort will be made to indeed meet that goal and that is the clear hope of those concerned." Earlier in the week, Begin and Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir of Israel both made similar state- ments. Begin said that May 26 "is not a so-called deadline or ultimate date." Shamir also stated that May 26 is merely a desired date. POWELL emphasized several times that the talks have not been deadlocked. Asked if they were stalled, he said, "No, I won't agree with that charac- terization." He said the talks in Washing- ton "are not related" to the United Nations Security Coun- cil's anti-Israel resolution of Mar. 1 which the U.S. supported and which Carter later repudiated. Powell said the meetings have been under discussion "at least a Continued on Page 10 Vandals Deface Tombstones BONN (JTA) Vandals defaced 74 gravestones with Nazi symbols and slogans in the non-Jewish Berlin- Frohman cemetery here. Police suspect that the per- petrators belong to neo-Nazi groups. Swastikas were smeared on 20 of the gravestones and others were painted with the characters "SS" in runic letters and such slogans as "Heil Hitler" and "Juden Raus" (Jews get out). Swas- tikas and other Nazi symbols were found carved on nearby trees. MEANWHILE, a number of West German news- papers published articles on Albert Speer, who was Hitler's Minister for Armament during World War II, on the occasion of his 75th birthday. Speer was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his part in the Nazis' forced labor program. He was released from Spandau prison in 1966 and has since published several volumes of memoirs. TaySachs Testing Available Free (All testing, at NO CHARGE, will be held the entire month of April at the University of South Florida Medical School. Call 974- 2456 for your appointment.) AWARENESS is the goal of the third year program of National Council of Jewish Women, in conjunction with the University of South Florida Genetics Program, in sponsoring April as Tampa Bay Area Tay- Sachs Month. Tay-Sachs is a genetically inherited fatal disease that at- tacks young children and causes destruction of the nervous system. Several such genetic or inherited diseases are carried by those of Jewish ancestry. Some of these disorders, particularly common to Jews, go back into the early history of the Jewish people. Some are of more recent origin; Tay-Sachs, first recog- nized less than 100 years ago, is one. Infants with Tay-Sachs look and behave normally at birth. Normal development continues for several months; then, sud- denly at about six months, mus- cular weakness becomes evident. Very rapidly, physical and mental deterioration sets in. Death occurs usually between the ages of three and five years. TODAY, only uninformed couples need suffer the anguish of learning that a seemingly healthy child is doomed because of Tay- Sachs. The Tay-Sachs Disease Testing Program, designed to prevent this tragic genetic disease, detects carriers by a simple blood test. In the Tampa Bay area, in the first testing program, 250 people were screened. Initial results assured a large number of families that they had not in- herited the Tay-Sachs gene. However, 22 potential carriers were retested and two true carriers were identified. For a second year, Tampa Section, National Council of Jewish Women, in conjunction with the University of South Florida College of Medicine, undertook the responsibility of conducting a Tay-Sachs Screening Program. Results were gratifying; especially concerning the growth of Tay-Sachs education in the Tampa area, said the NCJW leaders. Chairmen for the Tampa Section, NCJW, are Margie Bernstein and Lee Kessler. Working with them will be Marsha Stein, publicity chair- man, and Betty Cohen, medical liaison chairman. As a third year of screening begins, it is evident that more and more physicians and com- mercial laboratories are using the testing facilities of the University of South Florida by referring their patients for the Tay-Sachs test. The March of Dimes has en- dorsed the Testing Prevention Program as part of their Birth Defects Program. Awareness is the key word and the Tampa Bay area with Dr. Thomas Tedesco's (USF) dedication is achieving this goal, said the chairmen. rage 2 The Jewish Floridian of Tampa Friday, March a. <3k qam uAbout 'Sfoum Hv LESLIE AIDMAN fCd// 'fie about your social III at 872-44701 Ruth Elias and Gene Wertheimer qualified tor a marvelous 12-day trip to Africa through Poe and Associates Insurance Company (as part of an incentive program).

Q rD A Passover Message By BEN GREENBAUM President Tampa Jewish Federation Passover, the season of freedom. Passover, our liberation from Egyptian bondage. The Exodus marks the creation of the Jewish people, our emergence as a nation linked by a special bond. For in retelling what has been passed from generation to generation, we become witnesses to historical truth and a national experience. We relive bondage, slavery, oppression, only to experience deliverance and emancipation. However, today in other countries, our fellow Jews are still bound by the yoke of oppression and the chains of slavery. We hear their cries for Jewish identity, national freedom, of Jewish commitment. During this seder, let us identify with our people's needs today: rededicate ourselves anew to increased financial ''om- mitment to Israel throughout Federation < UJA campaign. During this seder le: is drink a fifth cup of wine the Cup of Hope, for fellow Jews still oppressed wherever they might be. I^et us give new meaning through our actions so that together ... we can say "We are one." Haf; Samaech! Harriet Cohen and in the house of delegates. Thia year the annual program meeting and house of delegates was held in Los Angeles, Calif. March 9 -March 14. Approximately 80 members of the Tampa Jewish Federation, Young Leadership Development Groups I and II assembled to hear Barry Schochet, staff member and counsel to the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. The topic of discussion was : "Arab Petrodollars and Their Influence to the U.S." or "Are We Being Boiled in Oil?" During his visit to Tampa, Schochet also addressed the Sunday morning forum at Congregation Schaarai Zedeh on the same subject. (Photo by Audrey Haunbenstock.) Super Sunday KICK-OFF TIME ... 10 A. M.

March 28. 1980 Volume 2 11 NISAN5740 Number 13 Continue Tzedakah Tradition Pesach. What comes to your mind? A large family gathering? Charoses? The Seder plate? Motza Brei? Yes, Passover is a time of wonderful traditions. We work very hard to maintain these traditions. We work at it in our homes and in our synagogues. There is another tradition that we must work equally hard to maintain. That is the tradition of TZEDAKAH, the tradition of giving, the tradition of charity. This tradition, too, will only continue by DOING. You can't just talk about it. So, while you continue the Passover tradition, continue the TZEDAKAH tradition. And let everyone around your Seder table know that you believe both traditions are important. Your gift to the Tampa Jewish Federation 1980 campaign will continue the tradition that one Jew helps another, always! Passover and Freedom There are few Jews, even those with little or no religious beliefs, who do not mark Passover in some way. One reason is that Passover has become the one holiday when Jews get together with their families. It is a holiday when children play a central role, such as asking the Four Questions at the Seder. In fact, the purpose of the Seder is to pass on the Jewish experience to the younger generations. But perhaps Passover has become so important because it marks the birth of the Jewish nation. This has taken on added meaning with the creation of Israel. For 2,000 years, the Seder has ended with the words, "Next Year in Jerusalem." Since 1948, and especially since the reunion of the city in 1967, this has become not a dream but a reality. Passover reminds Jews of the importance of freedom. The symbols used at the Seder and the Haggadah itself tell Jews that once we were slaves in Egypt, and we are enjoined to keep reminding our children of this, because those who were once slaves will value freedom even more. For American Jews, it means guarding our liberties in the United States and striving to ensure the survival of democracy here and abroad. It means guaranteeing that Israel will survive as a free and prosperous and secure Jewish State that will fulfill the Biblical commandment of being a light unto the nations. Another Score for Sadat President Sadat's invitation to the Shah of Iran to come and live in Egypt now places him tall in the saddle of Middle Eastern affairs, whether for eood or bad. One thing for sure, it strengthens his nego- tiating position with Israel and therefore can be cal- culated to stiffen the backs of the State Depart- ment's already tough anti-Israel stance so far as the Palestinians are concerned. We should make no mistake: Sadat has no more love for the Palestinians than do the Israelis, but he is using them to the limit to recapture his ascendant role over the other Arab nations, which he lost in his peace-making process with Israel. Nor should we make the mistake that it is a peace-making process. What Sadat is doing is merely recapturing the Sinai without firing a shot. After that, the deluge. Things are bad enough for Israel these days, but Sadat's sanctuary to the Shah makes them even worse. I WAS horrified at my first inkling that Congress would be pressing for an investigation into the now infamous McHenry vote at the United Nations on the resolution condemning Israel settlements. There was. it should have been clear from the beginning to those who hatched up this scenario, absolutely nothing that could be gained from it. On the other hand, there was the ever-present danger that the administration would use the investigation as a platform on which to spout its justification for the vote except, of course, for the Jerusalem pr<>\ isions. AND THAT is precisely what happened. It is here, we are meant to believe, that the Carter Vance McHenry "sorry, wrong num- ber" was dialed. What pure bunk! The President says nothing more than that he would have instructed McHenry to oppose the UN resolution if only he knew of all of those Jerusalem provisions in it. Beyond that, what do we know about Carter on Jerusalem anyway? Absolutely nothing other than that his instructions to McHenry, we are meant to believe, would be predicated on his interpretation of the resolution as being contrary to the Camp David accords. This ambiguity apart, which American Jewish voters had best think about long and hard, the congressional investigation did turn out as precisely I feared. We don't really know just what Carter gave instructions to vote for or against. What we do know about is administration im- periousness and irritation at being questioned. THE TAPED exchange, for example, between Cyrus Vance and Sen. Richard Stone was even worse than I anticipated. The tapes show an arrogance on Vance's part, a determination to do the UN vote all over again so that McHenry can vote the same way again, this time without presidential apology. No one else fared any better in the Senate, including the ranking Republican member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Jacob Javits of New York. And in the House's own "inves- tigation." Vance was just as hostile, just as adamant, just as ugly and threatening. The point has been made before: on this issue. President Carter is a consummate politician which, in these days, is to say that he is downright dishonest. Vance at the hearings said one thing, which for propaganda purposes he interpreted as "pro- Israel" where, in fact, what he was saying spells the murder of Israel's nationhood. MEANWHILE, back at the peanut farm in the White House. Carter was reconfirming the U.S. commitment to Israel in lovely counterpoint to Vance's death blows. In the end. the President believes he has had it both ways. Gen. Sharon is, of course, right. Speaking in New York the other week, he attacked the American Jewish community for its almost indifferent reaction to the Carter Vance McHenry triplecross. American Jews are flocking in droves to the primary polls to vote for Carter as "the man who can be trusted." although only Heaven knows on what ground. My own view of all of this is that a second Carter presidency, this time unfettered by his need to pretend to the Jewish com- munity, would be an unmitigated disaster. Vance would be replaced by Ruth Stapleton once Carter's won. Rosalynn would be surefire Vice President, no more cos- metics needed to hide Walter Mondale's consignment to the White House basement. WHAT I fear most is the inevitability of the Palestinian ascendancy spurred by our U.S. friends in Kurope whose friend- ship tor us is most recently underscored by their reaction to the proposed Olympic boycott: "Hell no. we're gonna go." except that when Russian troops come marching down the Champs Elyseea (tra-la. tra-la) the chant will surely change: "M'aidez, m'aidez." I fear it because the rest of America is weary of the Israel- Arab struggle. Morals and ideals are too burdensome, and too many see it as the reason for our every crisis as if it were destined that, Israel or no Israel, the Arabs would not otherwise have come to their senses about selling a priceless commodity such as oil so cheaply to us as heretofore. And so, too many are anxious now to tell the Israelis to get lost, so that the struggle can be ended and, in their way of thinking, the energy crisis, too. That's where Europe's going. Why not the U.S.? WE MUST be wary of this. If Carter and Vance can play Gallagher and Sheehan on Capitol Hill, so ought we to a world weary of the war of words and fearful of yet another war of bullets. We must continue the words. We must not give up the debate. On the Palestinian issue, we might quote, say. Rafik Natasha, the PLO representative in Saudi Arabia, in an interview with Al Riad on November 15. 1979: "The best solution (to the Israel- Arab struggle), in our opinion, is the return of the aliens to their countries: The Palestinian living as an alien far from his homeland must return to it. and the alien Jew who has been brought from all over the world must return to his country of origin.'' Isn't that sweet? Libya's Col. Qadaffi has the same viewpoint, except that he proposes at what date the cutoff point be made for alien and non-alien Jew: 1948.

Robinson. Passover, which com- Imemorates the exodus of the Ijews from slavery in ancient Egypt and their wanderings Tthrough the desert for 40 years efore reaching the Promised and. will begin this year on Monday evening, March 31. "The small Jewish com- [munities, in their isolation, [symbolize the need for all Jews to [reach out to help one another to [preserve Jewish tradition and to assure spiritual and physical |survival. "This," said Robinson, "is the traditional role of the JDC las the arm of the American Jewish community concerned with the rescue, relief and reconstruction of Jews and [Jewish communities the world lover." JDC Executive Vice President, |Ralph 1. Goldman, noted that for the past two years JDC had been [providing the small Jewish [community of Egypt with Passover matzah and supplies [directly, rather than through the I International Red Cross as was | the case for the past 31 years. Officials estimate that there are 400 Jews in Lebanon and an equal number in Egypt, divided between Alexandria with 250 and Cairo with 150. Goldman noted that wherever possible, JDC provides matzah manufactured in Israel. "Of all the communities receiving shipments of matzah and supplies, Romania receives the largest amount, nearly 275,000 pounds. Tunisia received 47,000 pounds and Poland got 43,000 pounds. Other countries receiving Passover supplies were Greece, Italy, Yugoslavia, Melilla and Cueta in Spanish Morocco, Portugal and Spain," said Goldman. "THE PRIMARY recipients in Italy are the Soviet Jewish emigrants celebrating their first Passover in freedom and waiting in the Rome area for visa for- malities to be completed before proceeding to the U.S. and other western countries. Special Haggadahs (Seder Readers)," said Goldman, "have been printed in Hebrew and Russian to enable the emigrants to follow the reading." Funds for JDC's Passover assistance program and for its health, educational and welfare programs are mainly provided by Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds through the United Jewish Appeal.

It would be smaller than ours at home. We always have "just the family," but each year the table seems to expand along with my waistline. I remember our first Seder. It was at a card table. I stood. book in hand, and checked off each item to make certain I hadn't forgotten anything. The silver, newly unwrapped from its wedding paper, shone like windows the day after spring cleaning. The new silver Seder plate was undented, untarnished, and void of any memories as yet. Now our "table" winds around corners, into one room and over spilling into another. It changes levels midstream as it flows. THE MAIN table, of course, is in the dining room. Then we add on two card tables, a side-board that opens jnto a table, the kitchen table and one TV table. Babies (which we are void of, at present) sit with adults at the main table. The many generations spread out, like rays of sunshine, with a few of the mid-older kids interspersed among the little ones to keep the peace. When it works, this night truly becomes different than any other night! As some of the children grew and went off to college, every- one moved up towards the main table accordingly, like in "Mother May I?" One of the younger ones looked at the main table in the dining room and back to his place around the corner. ''By the time / make it to the big table, I'll be an old man!'' You used to be able to tell the middle point at our table. It was where the wine met the grape juke. Once, when there were many who needed bibs and booster chairs, we were long on the Welch's. Now, it seems, the wine glasses outnumber the plastic mugs. It's harder now to find helpers to chop the apples, too, although there are more volunteers to eat the raisins. No one needs plastic plates, and my tarnished silver Seder plate dish has seen its share of dents and droppings. Teeth marks in one end remind me how long one little one found the service to be ... and how preoccupied we must have been that we didn't notice he was chewing on the plate. But the freezer's filled with lamb shanks. (I save them every time we have a leg of lamb, "so I won't be without for the Seder.") I've bought enough horseradish to keep us all in tears for years, and, as usual, I forgot to buy the parsley and have to make a return trip for that. to EACH YEAR as/we begin the Seder, I'm warmed by the /familiar food-stained books from which we read the service. Memories of all our past Seders come back as vividly as when they were being lived ... the day I accidently hid the matzo balls instead of the matzo (the phone rang and I put the bowl down somewhere) ... the night the then-littlest one was nudged awake to ask the four questions and said, "Is it my birthday yet?" ... the night someone inadvertently mixed the wine and the salt water together. Our Seder table may not be all together, but each part touches the other. I like to think our family is a little like our table.

There were several scuffles with the police and Rabbi Meir Kahane, leader of the Jewish Defense League and several others were arrested. Manhattan Borough President Andrew Stein, who was one of the demonstrators, accused the police of using excessive force. At a brief press conference after the meeting, Strauss said that while the UN vote was a mistake, it has not stopped Israel and Egypt from carrying out the start of diplomatic relatio. a between them and continuing their efforts to achieve peace through the autonomy talks. He said there was no lessening of the President's commitment to Israel and the efforts to achieve peace in the Middle East.

Rep. Stephen Solarz (D., N.Y.), who is on record as supporting Carter, said he believed the meeting had helped to assuage the Jewish community. Strauss maintained that if a straw poll had been taken at the meeting, "the President would have carried it very well." But Benjamin Epstein, executive vice president of the Foundation of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, and one of the organizers of the meeting, in- terjected and said it would have been close, but the President would have won. Rabbi William Berkowitz, president of the Jewish National Fund, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency later that if a straw vote had been taken it would have gone against the President. BERKOWITZ, who is also the spiritual leader of Congregation B'nai Jeshurun in Manhattan, said he thought it was wrong to have the meeting at this time. He said he didn't think it was proper to have Linowitz at a political meeting, since it might "com- promise" his position as a negotiator in the "delicate" autonomy talks now going on. He also said it was "ill- advised" to make the issue of peace in the Mideast into a Jewish issue, since it was an American issue. He said that instead of sending two Jewish spokesmen, the Carter Administration should have sent someone like Harold Saunders, Assistant Secretary of State for Near East and South Asian Affairs, since the State Department was also responsible for the UN vote. Berkowitz and Malcolm lloenlein, executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, told the JTA that those attending the meeting stressed that even if references to Jerusalem had been omitted from the UN resolution it was still a bad resolution which the U.S. should have vetoed. Carter maintained that the resolution was approved by the Administration because it was incorrectly believed that all references to Jerusalem had been deleted. BERKOWITZ said that what Strauss was saying was an echo of the President's oft-repeated statement, "trust me." Stanley Lowell, former chairman of the National Conference on Soviet Jewry and an organizer of the meeting, said that in demanding a public statement from the President, the audience said it had to come from Carter per- sonally and not from Vice President Walter Mondale or other Administration spokesman. The meeting was organized after the UN vote and its af- termath revealed a wiHe-spread disaffection of Jews with Carter. The New York State Primary is being held March 25, and Jews historically vote in this state's primary ir. larger proportion to their numbers than any other group. The disaffection with Carter was shown by the demonstrators outside the Harmonie Club, at 4 East 60th Street, where the meeting was held, who carried signs, including, "Jimmy, We Don't Believe You," "Carter Stabbed Israel in the Back," and "We Need a President Who Can Read." THE FIRST group of demonstrators were mostly young women from Stem College of Yeshiva University and students from the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale led by Rabbi Avi Weiss, who said they were members of his Mobilization for Israel group. Weiss called for the election of "anyone" but Carter. He said Carter has demonstrated that he is anti-Israel which means he also acts against American interests. Many of the demonstrators did not seem to know who Kahane was when the JDL leader and his group pushed to the front of the police barricades and a scuffle with the police began. One demonstrator told the JTA that he had to identify Kahane and explain his confrontation tactics to the students. Rhoda L. Karpay Broker-Associate Real estate driving you "meshuggener?"

March 28,* Daf Yomi The Aim of Prayer By RABBI THEODORE BROD Prayer is an expression of man's quest for the Divine and his longing to unite his soul with God, the Source. The ultimate aim of prayer is the communion with the Supreme Will, "The Source of All Life." The will in Kabbalistic teachings is con- sidered the highest of emanations concealed in Gods Power. It is the Creator working through the Primal Will. The major book in Kabbala, the Zohar, calls the unity of Ein-Sof (Infinite) with the Supreme Will the Attika Kaddisha (The Ancient One). The Primordial Will (Ha-Chefez Ha-Kadmon) is not identical with the Greater But like a garment (La-Vush) emanating from him. In our prayers we do not need an intermediary; "The Lord "- is near to all who call upon Him in Truth." (Psalms 145:18) The ; individual praying, by his own innate spiritual attributes, lends f weight to his prayers. The Prophet Ezekiel said. "It is not the ; worthiness of the Petitioner in Prayer that counts but of those | for whom he is praying." (Ezekiel 14:14) The Torah sees prayer as a spiritual bridge between man . and God, inbred with a sense of fellowship with the Master of All Creation. It is an I-Thou relationship, for man not only I beseeches God, but He also, seeks man. (Isiah 50:2). Prayer | must be accompanied by devotion and enthusiasm and stern from the heart. It should never be ground out as if from a machine. ; THE BUDDHISTS of the Far East used to paste their f prayers on a wheel, and then revolve it as their form of worship. The time the wheel revolved was considered important to i personal prayer. Some wealthy Chinese and Japanese took advantage of this custom. They attached an electric motor to the | wheel. It would then revolve day and night, thus addressing the Lord without halt. The worshippers, themselves, would go about I their business, for the wheel kept on praying for the absentee : worshippers. We must be ever on guard that our synagogues and our { leaders make our prayers meaningful so that they be uttered in purity in the flame of worship. It must become a symphony of faith and religious devotion: the union of the Jew in every age with that of his forefathers, binding him spiritually with the children of Israel in all the four corners of the world. The Siddur (Prayer Book) is an outgrowth of the Scrip- tures. Its language is the classic Biblical Hebrew, or oc- casionally in the A ramie. Through many phases and excerpts the words and inspirations of the Bible are woven into its texture. More than 50 of the Psalms are found in the Siddur. Two thousand years ago, when the last of the Prophets had spoken. Judaism continued to speak in creative ecstasy through the Prayer Book. THE PRINCIPAL prayers were instituted to correspond with the ritual of prayer and sacrifice in the Temple (Bite- Hamikdoshlon Mount Zion. It was the Prophet Hosea who, after the destruction, issued the call, "Return To Your Creator Through Prayer." From numerous sources of mystical literature from both Talmudic and Gaonic periods it can be seen that Kabbilistic prayers in the Aramic Language were used. Some of these were compiled and inserted into the Siddur. For example, the Prayer taken from the Zohar (Va-Yakheil called "Brjch Shmai D'Murah." believed to date from 50 C.E. Blessed be Thy name. Lord of the universe: blessed be Thy Crown; blessed by Thine abiding place. May Thy favor by with They people of Israel forever. In Thy Temple reveal to Thy people. Thy right hands redeeming power. Grant us of Thy beneficient light and accept our prayer in mercy. May it be Thy will to prolong our life in goodness. May it be counted amongst the rightous that Thou mayest show me Love. Thou art He who rules over all, for dominion is Thine. I AM the servant of the Holy one, blessed be He before Whom and before Whose glorious Torah I bow at all times. Not on man do I rely, nor do I lean on a Son of God, but only on the God of the heavens, who is the God of Truth and whose < Prophets are true, and who does Goodness and Truth. In Him alone is my trust, and to His Holy Name, I declare praises. May it be Thy will to open my heart to Thy Torah, and to fulfill the desires of my heart and the heart of all Thy people Israel for Good, for Life and for Peace, Amen. Hear O Israel, The Lord Is Our God, The Lord Is One. (To be Continued) SHABBATSHOLOM! Passover Greetings from Bemice Gilman Invitation Accessories The Most Extensive Collection in the Tampa Bay Area Experienced Personal Service Wedding* Bar Mitzvahs Announcements Every Price Range 879-5921 By Appointment This Time Is Different... By RABBI MARK Ml AM Director, B'nai B'rith IIill.-l Foundation at the University of South Florida Judaism never ceases to im- press me with its relevancy to issues. Two pieces of what I refer to as the Pesach "puzzle." bring to the fore some of the best of what Judaism has to offer. One "piece" is that on Passover, one must feel slavery for oneself and then later, experiece and rejoice in the God-given freedom from it. The other part centers around slavery, oppression, and the strangers to which these types of things normally happen. Jews do not simply give lip service to the eternal idea of freedom. We institutionalize it, make it part of the annual cycle of holidays spending an entire evening (or two) discussing it. Every Jew is encouraged to view the Exodus as if he she per- sonally participated in its oc- currence. Without truly feeling the slavery of Egypt, Judaism suggests that you cannot truly understand or feel freedom. Sad to say, during the past few months especially, it has become relatively easy for us to em- pathize with individuals who have had their freedoms taken from them. At this writing, the 50 American hostages in Iran have been denied their freedoms for 136 days! The ubiquitous television has carried the pain of this ordeal into our homes.

Happy Pesach! , ** mm Synopsis of the Weekly Torah Portion Tzav TZAV This sidra continues to describe the laws of sacrifice for the individual, for the congregation, and for the priests. The previous sidra, Vayikra. spoke to the Children of Israel and concerned the whole people. This sidra was meant to be a ritual guide book for the priests. All the Israelites were assembled before the Tabernacle, when Moses made it holy and anointed Aaron as High Priest. This is how Moses made Aaron the High Priest. He washed Aaron and his sons, put the tunic on Aaron, tied the sash around his waist, dressed him in the robe and breastplate in which he had placed the holy Urim and Tummim. Then he set the golden crown upon his head. Next, Moses sprinkled some of the anointing oil upon the head of Aaron. Then he said to Aaron and his sons: "For seven days you must not leave the Tabernacle. In this time, you will make yourself holy for service to God." On the eighth day, Moses summoned Aaron and his sons and said: "Offer a sacrifice upon the Altar before God." Aaron did so. Then Moses and Aaron blessed the Children of Israel.

Germans Sell Weapons Secretly West German businessmen are secretly trying to sell weapons to at least four Arab countries, according to documents gathered by the London Observer. The largest of the projected arms sales contracts is for 42,000 military vehicles for Syria made by Magirus-Deutz Company, the Observer said. Another projected contract is for ultracen- trifugal machines for Libya to enable the country to make atomic bombs. * Other projected contracts, the Observer reported, are for Leopard assault tanks for Saudi Arabia and 2,000 Magirus-Etuz military vehicles for Iraq. In an exculsive front page story, details are given of deals in the pipeline which, if con- cluded, would be of immense benefit to Syria, Libya, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Libya, for example, would be able to make a nuclear bomb, and Syria would be able to reduce its dependence on Soviet supplies. The consortium of companies calling them- selves the NATO Standard Company, and in- cluding Magirus-Deutz are also shown by the Observer report to have played a vital part in the Yom Kippur War. The document states: "It was this firm which found how to break the sand walls and barriers of the Suez Canal Within six weeks, the firm produced the necessary water- cannon and delivered them to Egypt a week before the outbreak of war. The firm engineers supervised the training of Egyptians in the use of the water-cannon." Gaynor I. Jacobson, Executive Vice President of HIAS, the worldwide Jewish migration agency, has disclosed that 20 state and city governments throughout the country will of- ficially observe HIAS Centennial Week through Sunday. States having already issued, or in the process of effecting gubernatorial proclamations, are Alabama, California, Connecticut, Florida. Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island and Texas. Centennial Week will reach its climax on Sunday, Mar. 23, when Max Fisher, noted indus- trialist and philanthropist, will become the recipient of the HIAS Liberty Award at a dinner to be held at the Waldorf Astoria in New York. Stuart E. Eizenstat. Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs and Policy, will be principal speaker. Dr. Samuel DuBois Cook, president of Dillard University, has called on Blacks and Jews to re- establish the "great alliance" of the civil rights movement. Speaking at a program in New Orleans in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday, Dr. Cook declared, "Blacks alone simply cannot change their own status. They must receive help and a lot of it from outside the Black community." Dr. Cook continued, "In particular, we must move with swiftness, vigor, intelligence, deter- mination, understanding and wisdom to strengthen and make whole again Black-Jewish relations. During the civil rights movement, no ally was more supportive and committed than the Jews. "Whatever differences there may be in policy, strategy and method pale into insignificance in comparison with what unites Blacks and Jews the strong and deep historical, moral, spiritual, religious, emotional and psychological ties that bind the two groups." Eleven organizations that over the years have helped resettle more than six million refugees, will be honored by B'nai B'rith International for their work in finding new homes and providing emergency aid for hundreds of thousands of Viet- namese and Cambodians. Vice President Walter Mondale, United Nations Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim, Mayor Ed Koch of New York and scores of other dignitaries are expected to attend the ceremony at the B'nai B'rith building this week. The Vice President will be the featured speaker. B'nai B'rith President Jack J. Spitzer will present the organization's Humanitarian Award to leaders of the 11 agencies. Leo Cheme, whose International Rescue Committee is one of the honorees, also will be a speaker. A nationwide network of Catholic, Jewish and Protestant women has been formed to combat sexism in religious following a conference of 130 leading lay and ordained women held in New York. The organization will serve as a clearinghouse for the gathering and exchange of information, according to Annette Daum. a consultant to the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, which served as host for the conference. Mrs. Daum said the network's members would conduct research to correct misinterpretations of women in Biblical and religious history. The American Jewish Congress is hailing an order of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massa- chusetts declaring unconstitutional a state law requiring public school teachers to set aside a period at the beginning of each school day for voluntary prayer." f Jf ^ rfr ,ll?w Cotl^,ss- Joined by attorneys from the Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts challenged the constitutionality of the statute on* reb 5. the day it went into effect, in behalf of public school children and their parents in Framingham and Marblehead.

Schmidt Says Bonn Has No Plan to Okay PLO By DAVID KANTOR BONN- (JTA) Chancellor Helmut Schmidtsaidi a press conference here that the declarations made I French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing during | recent visit to several Arab countries in the Middle EajH are in accordance with the German attitude toward a comJ prehensive peace settlement in the area. THIS INCLUDES, the Chancellor stressed, J recognition of Israel's right to exist with secure border!I and the recognition of the right of the Palestinian peopJ to self-determination. Asked by an Arab journalist whether Bonn is going! to follow France in an official recognition of the Palestine! Liberation Organization, Schmidt said, "Not today and not yesterday." Carter to Meet With Begin and Sadat Continued from Page 1 couple ot weeks but the invi- tations were "formally" extended Mar. 19 by Carter who spoke to Sadat and Begin. Asked if the visits to Washing- ton by the Israeli and Egyptian leaders might overlap, Powell said, "No, that is not the scenario at all." He said he did not know whether Begin or Sadat would come to Washington first. WHEN IT was pointed out that his announcement of the meeting referred to the West Bank and Gaza Strip but did not mention the issue of Jerusalem which had figured prominently in the Security Council's Mar. 1 resolution, Powell said, "Jerusalem is not part of the autonomy talks except only in a potential way, regarding the status of the residents of East Jerusalem with respect tovotinil on the sell-governing authority At that point, one of PoweO'jl aides intervened to say that 1 "Jerusalem is not part of the] Camp David accords as such."] Powell had mentioned earlier that the issues involved in the autonomy negot iations could be broken down into "two general areas." One is "how the self-governing authority will be selected or elected" and the other is "the power, authority and respon sibilities of the self-governing | authority." Powell pointed out that "These issues are both extremely dif- ficult and extremely important to both Egypt and Israel.

From March. 1979 to [979 Martin Mendelsohn I director. ISKED WHAT motivated to accept this awesome possibility, Kyan told the Ijsh Telegraphic Agency that Tinvolvement in the Feodor Fedorenko case piqued his in- terest in Nazi war criminals. As an assistant to the U.S. Solicitor General in 1978, he wrote the brief and argued the appeal in the government's case against Fedorenko. an admitted SS guard at Treblinka concentration camp. Fedorenkos case in Miami was decided against the government on July 25, 1978. This decision was reversed by the U.S. Court of Appeals on June 28, 1979 and the trial judge was ordered to strip Fedorenko of citizenship. The defendant filed a motion for a rehearing to the Appellate Court, which was denied on Aug. 13. 1979. On Feb. 19, 1980, the defendant's petition for certit>ruri was granted by the U.S. Supreme Court. W. German Police, Neo-Nazis Clash Bv DAVID KANTOR llONN (JTA) - Iven policemen and nine Hereby were injured in a ce dash between police neo-Nazi demon- ators in N'uremburg. The [Nazis are members of 1 Wehrsportgruppe Hoff- i which was recently de- red unconstitutional by brior Minister Gerhard urn.

BE DEMONSTRATORS p Bggs and cans filled with at the police. The Wehr- sportgruppe Hoffman, which masqueraded as a sports or- ganization, has appealed against Baum's decision and is seeking to re-establish its legal status. In another development, the Dusseldorf State Prosecutor con- firmed that additional charges are being considered against Krnst Heinrichsohn. the former Mayor of Buergstadt in Bavaria, who was sentenced to six years' imprisonment by a Cologne court last month for his role in the deportation of* French Jews and others when he served with the Gestapo in Paris during World War II. Heinrichsohn. who was rearrested last week after being released on bail raised by towns- people of Buergstadt, has ap- pealed to the high court in Karls- ruhe against his sentence. The State Prosecutor said that Hein- richsohn is suspected of having murdered five French resistance lighters in 1944 but could not say whether the investigation of this matter will result in a new trial.

In addition to his 1977-1980 position in the Solicitor General's office, his legal experience includes a clerk- ship for Supreme Court Justice Byron White, service as an attor- ney in the U.S. Marine Corps, and an association with the Washington, D.C. law firm of Williams, Connally and Califano. While meeting with Rockier to discuss the Fedorenko case, he asked to be considered for the OSI directorship at the end of Rockier's tenure on Mar. 31. At the culmination of a series of personal and political clashes be- tween Rockier and Mendelsohn, and to insure continuity at Rockler's departure, Ryan became deputy director on Jan. 7, replacing Mendelsohn. Mendel- sohn is now elsewhere in the Criminal Division, in a "fairly senior capacity," according to Ryan. "I took the job (with OSI) because I was convinced it was a job that needed doing,"' Ryan said. "THERE ARE relatively few areas in law which you can be certain every morning when you wake up that you are doing something important to see that justice is done. After having been through Yad Vashem (the Holo- caust memorial in Jerusalem) I have no doubt that what I*m doing must be done. There are people still alive who took part in the Nazi process of inhumanity and some of them are in this country." He said he feels "ob- ligated to do everything humanly possible under the law to bring them into account." "Ideally the goal of the OSI should be to locate every Nazi -v** ^w jgfciftjft** war criminal and collaborator in the United States, denaturalize them if they are citizens, and deport them all," he continued. "As a practical matter, it's very unlikely we'll find every single one. They don't advertise their pasts." The OSI now has some 400 files and is "opening cases literally every day." Rvan said. This total includes the 250 cases that the unit "inherited" from the Justice Department's Special Litigation Unit (SLU). Stressing that not every lead turns out to be a war criminal, he referred to one preliminary investigation that revealed a named suspect had in fact been born in 1946. ASSISTANT Attorney Gen- eral Philip Heymann, who over- sees OSI, wrote a letter to American Jewish leaders last Jan. 11 saying, "Our goal for the immediate future is to reach the end of 1980 with all files in one of two statuses: either having been filed with the court or having been closed entirely for lack of substance." Clarifying Heymann's statement, Ryan said this was true only of the 250 SLU cases. He stressed that no case would be "swept under the carpet" just to meet the deadline. The unit is aiming for the Dec. 31 date, but will continue investigations beyond that date whenever necessary. Zalme Luloff, Active in JWV Zalme Luloff, 83, died in Tampa, Feb. 21.
