He told reporters at Kennedy Airport, however, that his 10-day visit to the U.S. is "apolitical." He meets rith Reagan on Tuesday, Nov. 22. Herzog, accompanied by his wife, Ora, as greeted by Meir Rosenne, Israel's Ambassador to the U.S., Yehuda Blum, the ..sraeli Ambassador to the United Nations, the Israeli Consul General in New York, iNaphtalie Lavie, and other Israeli officials [and American Jewish leaders at a reception [in El Al's King David Lounge at the air- on. Herzog said, in response to a question by [the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, that he is also bringing a message for American |jewry which he will deliver when he ad- [dresses various American Jewish forums in [the next few days. He mentioned that before leaving Israel, he met with Shamir and Defense Minister Moehe Arena to discuss his trip. Herzog met Mayor Edward Koch of New York at his Regency Hotel suite here Tuesday and also met with a representative of Gov. Mario Cuomo and with Lane Kirk land, president of the AFL-CIO. He addressed the UN General Assembly on Wednesday and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations here Thursday before flying to Atlanta for his speech to the CJF Thursday night. The Israeli chief of state said his original purpose in coming to the U.S. was to address the 52nd General Assembly of the Council of Jewish Federations in Atlanta which had invited him some time ago to be the major speaker. Subsequently, he said, he decided to broaden his visit to include meetings with Reagan and other Administration officials and American Jewish leaders and to address the United Nations. But He Gives No Date For Exit of Forces By GIL SEDAN JERUSALEM (JTA) Premier Yitzhak Shamir said that Israel may be nearing the end of its presence in Lebanon but refused to say just when this would be. Rejecting the view that Israel is somehow trapped in Lebanon, Shamir said in a television interview last Wednesday that the end was in sight. "However, there are some obstacles which must be overcome." HE STRESSED that Israel has achieved its main objectives in Lebanon, destroying the Palestine Liberation Organization's infrastructure in that country and keeping the terrorists far from its borders. "We have no interest to continue the war, but must make sure that we are not attacked by the terrorists once we leave," he said. Shamir noted that there already has been a substantial reduction of Israel's presence in Lebanon. The Israel Defense Force occupies a smaller territory and is deploying smaller forces. He expressed hope that in the near future, the Israeli presence could be reduced even more. "We are looking into every possible way which would allow us to reach an agreement on security arrangements which would enable an IDF withdrawal from Lebanon," Shamir said. Percy Call W. Bank Settlements 'Provocative' Arabs Bilked U.S. Customers of Billions By DAVID FRIEDMAN WASHINGTON - I 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. I "Isn t it ironk that Arab-ai- piiated organizations are com- plaining when the OPEC nations jave extorted $335 billion in ad- ditional revenues from American consumers as a result of the oil P^e increases begun in 1973." ng said as he received the tmunah Women of America's Man of the Year award in New * 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 supporting this aid, "is a 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 based on moral and democratic grounds, but also on the fact that Israel is our key strategic asset in the Middto East." Long told the Emunah Women. The NAAA commercial was refused by radio stations in Baltimore where Longs 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. 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 Yasir Arafat, the Palestine Liberation Organization's chief, as 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 AWACS 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 of the U.S. arms sale to the Saudis. On other topics, Percy was reported to have appeared un- comfortable with a question about why the U.S. did not move its Embassy to Jerusalem. He said "the time was not ripe" for such a move and that he would not seek to push the Reagan Administration into such a step at this time. PERCY SAID he strongly opposed any demands by Syria or its surrogates in Lebanon that the government of President Amin Gemayel abrogate its May 17 security and withdrawal accord with Israel. The Adminis- tration, he said, was strongly opposed to any such action. He said that he had personally urged President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt to return his Ambassador to Israel and to resume progress toward normalization between the two countries.

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 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 JCC Flea Market We need merchandise for the next Flea Market in February.

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 I mi i <*f its world wide effort a third of the funds for the first building, estimated at nine million dollars, has already been achieved.

TOP Holds Tax Planning Seminar The TOP Jewish Foundation, endowment and planned gift development arm for The Jewish Community, sponsored a tax planning seminar for lawyers, accountants, insurance advisers and investment advisers. The topic presented was "Tax Plan- ning Through Philanthropy" and focused on the estate tax, income tax and financial planning objectives that can be accomplished through a charitable giving device. The featured speaker at the seminar was Mr. Paul Feinberg, a noted tax attorney from Cleve- land, Ohio. Paul is a partner in the nationally known firm of Baker and Hostetler. Prior to his joining the firm, Mr. Feinberg was Director of Corporate Development of Premier Indus- trial Corporation in Cleveland. He also served for six years as Assistant General Counsel for The Ford Foundation in New York. In addition to his profes- sional credentials, Mr. Feinberg has served on the board of the Cleveland Federation and is actively involved on the Legal and Tax Committee of the Federation's endowment fund. Mr. Feinberg emphasized to the professionals the key role that they can play as a catalyst in the area of community philan- thropy. Since their clients come to them for tax planning, investment or financial planning advice, it is imperative that they be in a position to give their clients all tax saving sugges- tions, including those associated with philanthropy. Feinberg used examples from his experience and that of his colleagues to show how some very significant tax and financial planning goals can be achieved by tying in a creative charitable gift.

Teacher Dismissed for Propaganda BONN (JTA) Harm Menken, a 46-year-old teacher at the government-run navigation school in Stade, Lower Saxony, has been ordered dismissed for disseminating anti-Semitic pro- paganda in 1979. Menken claimed that the gas chambers were a lie and, in ar- ticles in local newspapers, ac- cused Jews of preparing a plot to annihilate the German people. Government authorities in Lower Saxony took no disciplinary mea- sures against Menken until forced to by public opinion. When the matter was finally brought to the court, the punish- ment asked for was a 10 percent cut in his salary for an 18-month period. The panel of judges or- dered him fired.

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 killer 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 New 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. \ The 1983 Covenant of Peace Awards of the Synagogue Council of America, representing the congregational and rabbinic bodies of Conservative.

This is the outfit that was originally thought to be be- hind the terrorist bombing on Oct. 23 of the Marine compound in Beirut. Now, the State Depart- ment isn't quite so sure. Amal represents most of the Shi'ites in Lebanon, and Bern is anxious to separate his faction from what is conceived of as the more intransigent Shi'ite com- munity in Iran. BERRI, for example, explains his view of Israel: "We (the Leb- anese) have good weather and agriculture, and we need Arab markets. At the same time, the Israelis are our adversaries in this respect. They have good sea and good weather, and their ap- ples are better than ours. They are our competition, so it's in our interest to be with the Arab world, not with the Israelis." Isn't that cute? Apples these are what place the Jewish Slate into an adversarial relationship with the Arab world. Apples, no- thing more. Surely, Berri must be a sweet man. For him, the infi- nitely complex tangle involving the Israel-Arab impasse over which four bloody wars have been fought since 194^ is nothing more than a case of sweete: apples. No wonder the State Depart- ment now has reason to remove Amal from the list of suspects for the terrorist bombing of the Marine compound. Apples. What sort of damage can they do? Es- pecially if you can forget Adam and Eve, for the moment, anyway. AN ARTICLE Oct. 18 by Ben- jamin Netanyahu in the Wall Street Journal suggests an alter- native view. Says Netanyahu: "The belief in Israel's perman- ence is the key to peace between the Jewish majority and the Arab minority" in Israel. Just so long as the Arabs are led to believe that Israel can be erased from the map of the Mid- dle East, they will continue to make every effort to do the eras- ing. This is why the ambivalent U.S. attitude toward Israel is so especially dangerous an ambi- valence marked particularly since the war in Lebanon, but in fact a Ehenomenon that seemed to be Dm in the Yom Kippur War and that emerged in unmistakable terms during the Carter Admin- istration's passionate love affair with Anwar Sadat. WHAT THE Arab leaders do is to read into this ambivalence a flagging U.S. commitment to Is- rael's permanence. But not even the most bitter critics of suc- cessive U.S. administrations be- lieve such a flagging commitment really exists. Furthermore, the U.S. commitment in the cause of Israel is based on far more than merely jaundiced domestic poli- tical expediency. There is a strong moral component in- volved. Still, troni the Arab point of view, it is not hard to read other messages into the cold realities of U.S. foreign policy where the expediency does lie and is so often punitive of Israels highest interests. For example, the rejection of Israel's offer of medical assist- ance to Marines wounded in the Oct. 2i terrorist bombing of their compound in Beirut .mil a Penta- gon spokesman s frank assertion published in the New \urk Tunes that the relusal was based on an American unwillingness to offend the Arabs. NETANYAHU'S point in the Wall Street Journal is therefore oi extreme importance, and he applies the issue ol permanence to Arabs on the West Hank, as well as to Israeli Arabs not in the so-called occupied territories, who constitute the Arab minor ity's conviction that Israel is here to stay." It is this conviction, Netanyahu believes, that ex- plains "the absence of subver- sion, or of any Israeli concern about it," among them. Argues Netanyahu: "This con- viction is the foundation on which the Arabs of Israel have built their lives, despite incessant anti-Jewish agitation and Pales- tine Liberation Organization terrorist threats" against them for accepting the hegemony of Is- rael as a reality. Netanyahu couples this view with an attempt to refute claims that Israel cannot hold onto the West Bank without becoming militaristic and otherwise politiciaUy oppressive. And, indeed, without losing Israel's Jewish identity because, ultim- ately, the Arabs will simply out- populate them by a highly fecund birthrate. NATANYAHU says flatly that "Malthusian projections of Arab population trends, so un- critically accepted, are un- convincing. It is not inevitable that the Jewish majority will be engulfed." In Netanyahu's view, the Arab birthrate "has been de- clining steadily. It fell to 5 children per family in 1981 from 8.4 in 1965, and it is expected to approach the Jewish rate (now leveling off at 2.7) in the next 15 to 20 years." Whether or not Malthusian theory with respect to Arab po- pulation trends works for or against Israel, Netanyahu's other premise with respect to terrorism in Israel and the territ- ories is startling. Whatever the media make of occasional minor incidents, it dn*s appear that Netanyahu argues pertinently when he explains this by the fact thut "the Arabs living there recognize the irreversibility of a Jewish presence." Not even the encouraging pronouncements by outsiders 'that a transfer of power (in the territories) to the FLO or Jordan is still a possibility" shake these Arabs of their view of Israel's permanence.

Sees Reagan Plan Need WASHINGTON The State Department suggested that the violence over the weekend in the West Bank demonstrated the need to work toward implement ing President Reagan's Septem ber 1, 1982 peace initiative At the same time, Department deputy spokesman Alan Ron- berg placed part of the blame for the unrest in the West Bank on the concern of the Palestinians there over the righting in Tripoli between Yasir Arafat's decimated Palestine Liberation Organization force and Syrian- backed dissident Palestinians "We very much regret the in- creased tension in the West Ban* and the incidents of violence has spawned," Romberg said "Such developments underscore the need for all parties to take the steps necessary to reshsej^ promise of the President's Maw* East peace initiative."

It is not only the largest amount of aid ever voted for Israel but allows the Israelis to U9e S550 million in military credits toward building their aecond generation jet fighter- bomber, the Lavie, an issue which had generated controversy within the Reagan Administra- tion and among American mili- tary aircraft manufacturers. The aid package which the House approved by a 224-189 vote totals (2.61 billion, compared to $2.48 billion in fiscal 1983. The new allocation contains 11.7 billion in military credits and $910 million in economic grants. Of the military credits, $850 mil- lion is "forgiven" meaning it does not have to be repaid. The use of military credits to develop the Lavie was approved over the objections of Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger who argued that the warplane would not increase Israel's mili- tary capability but would be an economic asset inasmuch as it is designed for export. cappv Denies opposing strategic Tie WASHINGTON Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger has denied that he has opposed ef- forts by the Reagan Administra- tion for strategic cooperation with Israel. "We have had Israel as a strong ally and a strategic working arrangement with them has been in effect for many years, almost since the creation of the State," Weinberger said in response to questions at the Foreign Press Centei here last Thursday. "There is no change whatsoever in that relationship," hi1 stressed. There have been repeated published reports that Weinber- ger has sought to block Secretary of Slate George Shultz's efforts for closer ties with Israel. No De- fense Department official accom- panied Under-secretary of State Lawrence Kagleburger during his recent visit to Israel. 6P0WsHeld By plo Are well TEL AVIV Representatives of the International Red Cross visited six Israeli prisoners of war held by the Palestine Libera- tion Organization in Tripoli, Leb- anon, last week where Yasir Arafat and his loyalists were making a desperate last stand against attacking PLO dissidents backed by Syria. According to reports from Geneva, the six Israelis are well and are in the hands of pro- Arafat elements. But the Red Cross has not been able to visit two other Israeli POWs held captive by Ahmed Jibril's Popu- lar Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, an extremist, anti-Arafat terrorist group under the PLO umbrella. Creeks Seen More Friendly to Israel BONN Greece's attitude toward Israel has become more friendly and open since that country succeeded West Ger- many in the rotating chairman- ship of the European Economic Community's (EEC) Council of Ministers, diplomatic circles here have noted. Among the EEC member states, Greece was the most out- spoken critic of Israel, especially after the invasion of Lebanon ;on June, 1982. The Israelis were therefore pleasantly surprised when, under the chairmanship of Athens, no new EEC initiatives were launched against Israel, and the "financial protocol" providing EEC credits to Jerusa- lem was implemented. A Greek diplomat posted to Bonn told an Israeli representa- tive that his government, bow- ever sympathetic to the Arab cause, has reassessed some of its positions on Middle East issues. The diplomat explained, ac- cording to sources here, that the Arab world, and the oil producing countries in particular, have done nothing to reward Greece politi- cally or economically for its long- standing support. Ties to Bonn Clouded By weapons to Saudis JERUSALEM Deputy For- eign Minister Yehuda Ben-Meir warned of a "cloud" that could darken Israeli-German relations: the possibility that Bonn might sell advanced weaponry to Saudi Arabia or other Arab countries. Delivering a keynote speech on the opening day of the annual meeting of the Israel-Germany Friendship Associations, Ben- Meir said Israel could not agree with nor acquiesce in such a prospect. Israeli sources forecast intensified diplomatic action by Jeruslem in the weeks ahead designed to forestall any arms sales. Recently, following Chancellor Helmut Kohl'8 visit to Saudi Arabia, German officials sought to distinguish between offensive weapons such as the Leopard 2 tank, and defensive weapons such an anti-tank devices and anti-aircraft systems. But Israel has declared tirmly that it recog- nizes no such distinction. Israel Must Talk Business to Syria-Oz BOSTON Amos Oz, the Is- raeli novelist and peace activist, said here that Israel must "talk business with Syria" if it is to be able to withdraw its troops from Lebanon. "Lebanon is irrestor- able," he told a group of students several days ago. "I think it is doomed. I think Syria is going to have it one way or another." He noted that Syria had lived up to its part of the 1974 Golan Heights agreement and had maintained an "enduring cease- fire" there. Israel, Oz contended, should offer to recognize Syria's "claims in Lebanon in return for a durable ceasefire or more" on Israel's northern border. Oz spoke to the students fol- lowing a speech he gave at Har- vard University, sponsored in part by the Boston Friends of Peace Now, entitled, "Certain Is- raeli Perspectives."

November 18, 1983 The Jewish Floridian of Tampa )abbi Denounces Reagan bchindler Denounces Reagan Policies as 'Unprincipled' HOUSTON (JTA) - abbi Alexander Schindler, jident of the Union of oerican Hebrew Congre- ation, denounced the Leign and domestic poli- os of the Reagan Ad- ministration as neither Uicipled nor pragmatic. \ In his address last Friday to the 3,500 Idelegates attending the |5"th 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 f 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 I 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 IJ.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 support" for Central American "and make a commitment" in unqualified neighboring countries permanent 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" May 17 Israeli-Lebanese agree- ment on the withdrawal of Israeli forces from 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, foreign policy "to democracy, Highest Level Israel. Egypt Hold Talks; U.S. Hand Reported 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 Middle East issues and a review of bilateral relations between Israel and Egypt. KIMCHE LEFT for Cairo, and was expected to return ,. soon. He is accompanied by the Ministry's legal aide, Elyakim Rubinstein. The two Israeli officials are scheduled to meet with Egypt's Foreign Minister, Kamal Hassan Ali, and to hold working sessions with top officials of the Egyptian Foreign Ministry. Kimche may also call on President Hosni Mubarak, though no meeting between them was announced. The Israeli sources said the visit emerged from "Bilateral diplomatic contacts." They conceded, however, that the United States has been applying pressure on Egypt for some time to thaw the "cold peace" that has existed since Israel invaded Lebanon. The sources firmly denied that Kimche's visit was connected in any way with the current tension in the region involving Syria and the U.S. 1 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 our 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. Dr. Mordecai Kaplan 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 Bat Mitzvah, and an American version of the European self-gov- erning Jewish community (kehillal 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 Reconstructionism 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 lad 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 Derech synagogue in Jerusalem, and its own journal, "The Recon- structionist. ' With the publication in the 1930's of his major work, "Juda- ism aa 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 Fried lander and Samson Benderly. in the devel- opment of various intellectual circles in New York before World War I. One of his earnest acts was the founding of Young Israel. Rabbi Alexander Schindler 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 Noting that the discrimination by the Orthodox establishment against non-Orthodox Jews is "a mockery" and "a perversion," Schindler said that "these narrow-minded attitudes and schemes are destructive of Orthodoxy itself."
