Jacobs Elected GCJFS In recognition for significant contributions to Gulf Coast Jewish Family Service, Murray M. Jacobs was unanimously voted the title of President Emeritus of our Jewish Family Service. Harry Green, president of the organization at that time, express- ed his pleasure at having the op- portunity to honor Murray in this manner and expressed the senti- ment of the Board of Directors and staff of the organization, "Murray's compassion for those less fortunate in the community clearly represent the goals of Jewish Family Service." Besides years of dedicated ser- vice in the role as President of Gulf Coast Jewish Family Service, Murray M. Jacobs has had a long history of involvement in pro- grams and charities to assist those in need.

By GIL SEDAN JERUSALEM (JTA) - Premier Shimon Peres has spoken out strongly against an international conference as the framework for Middle East peace negotiations and expresses disbelief in reports from Washington that the Reagan Ad- ministration may be edging away from its opposition to such an approach. Peres said that when he met with Secretary of State George Shultz here last month, Shultz agreed that an international con- ference would not serve the cause of peace. The reports from Washington were related to last week's meeting between President Reagan and King Hussein of Jor- dan. In prepared remarks to '.he press afterwards, Hussein said that Jordan and the Palestinians are ready to negotiate "within the context of an international conference." REAGAN, answering reporters' questions, said that while the U.S. has differences with Jordan over a conference, the issue is being discussed with the Jordanians. A senior Administration official who briefed reporters later, said the U.S. believes an international conference would be "political theater," a stage for "rhetoric. He added, however, that "nothing is static." The position of Jordan and the Palestine Liberation Organiza- tion, stated in the Feb. 11 agree- ment between Hussein and PLO chief Yasir Arafat to negotiate jointly, is for peace talks to be held in the context of an international conference in which the par- ticipants would be the five perma- nent members of the United Na- tions Security Council and all par- ties to the Middle East conflict. ISRAEL AND the U.S. have consistently opposed that ap- proach and favor instead direct negotiations between Israel and its Arab adversaries along the lines of the 1978 Camp David negotiations between Israel and Egypt. Peres, speaking during a visit to Acre, warned that an interna- tional conference would bring the Soviet Union into the Middle East peace process. He noted that Moscow supports the most ex- treme Arab positions, and Israel would thus be faced at the negotiating table with an ex- tremist rejectionist front. Page 2 The Jewish Floridian of Pinellas County/Friday, June 14, 1985 Government Affairs Committee Visits Tallahassee On Tuesday, May 7, a delega- tion of representatives of Govern- ment Affairs Committees of Jewish Federations throughout the State of Florida converged upon the State Capitol for a day at the Legislature. Elihu H. Berman, chairman of the Government Affairs Commit- tee of the Community Relations Committee of the Pinellas County Jewish Federation and a couple of dozen representatives of govern- ment affairs committees from other parts of the state met with Elaine Bloom, director of the Florida Association of Jewish Federations for breakfast in a meeting room on the 21st floor of the State Capitol Building in Tallahassee, after which the delegates attended sessions of both the Senate and the House in action. They were treated, in each chamber, to an impressive ceremony memorializing the vic- tims of the Holocaust. In each chamber, emotional tribute was paid to the victims of the Holocaust, to the survivors, and to those courageous few, who, at great risk to themselves, gave aid and assistance to victims. In each chamber, every legislator gave his or her sole attention to the proceedings, and each legislative branch solemnly and unanimously adopted a resolution memorializing the victims of the Holocaust. Not only the legislators, but the spectators in Pinellas Profile: Stanley Newmark Elihu Berman the gallery of each chamber were obviously moved by the solemnity of the occasion. Following those proceedings, the Florida Association of Jewish Federations hosted the legislators at a luncheon on the 22nd floor of the State Capitol building. The turnout was large, and attested to the good will that the Florida Association of Jewish Federations has built up under the leadership of its Director, Elaine Bloom. The afternoon proceedings were informal, with the members of the delegations taking their own directions, visiting the legislators of their choice, attending hear- ings, etc. It was an educational ex- Kerience for delegates and gislators alike.

Contact the JCC at 344-5795 By LOYCE GARON Stanley Newmark, newly- elected president of the Jewish Federation of Pinellas County, says his favorite cause is the Federation. "I think it's very important that my Jewish heritage and its culture in its entirety continue to flourish, and the way it's happening is through Federation," Stan says. To Stan, "thinking Jewishly" is a way of life he has not always known. Born 52 years ago in New York City of Orthodox parents, his Jewishness seemed to him to have been completed after Hebrew School and his Bar Mitzvah. After that, Stan says, "I went about my business," which, in time, included earning bachelor of science and marketing degrees from New York University. He went on to work for 13 years with Pfizer Laboratories in sales and sales management, 13 years with Wang Laboratories including 10 years as southeastern sales manager. For the past one and a half years, Stan has been with the Rutenberg Corporation. Stan and his wife, Enid, have two daughters; Lisa, 19, and Stefani, 16, both of whom, Stan says, "have a broader religious background" than he did. It wasn't until after his wife became involved in ORT, shortly after the family relocated here, that Stan "began to feel the importance of helping Jewish causes." "I realized that there were peo- ple who needed training and help, and there was no other way ex- cept through Jews." Before, Stan says, he "did not understand the needs of other Jews. Understan- ding is 'the key.' " Stan freely admits that he is in- volved "because it makes me feel good. Knowing that I'm able to help Jews. Giving money is fine, but you also need to give of yourself you need all the ingredients." Putting all the ingredients together is a goal of the Federa- tion, Stan says, which supports the Jewish Day School, the Gulf Coast Jewish Family Service, the Jewish Community Center of Pinellas County and the new Kent Jewish Community Center, of which Stan is immediate past president. The Federation can't do it alone, Stan says. "We need solicitors" and "there is no limit to the number of people who can be on committees and help make decisions," he says. Stan says he sees the same people at most of the meetings he attends, and he would welcome new participants. "I would like to see the Jews in this county feel and understand how important each and every one of them is. The key is understan- ding. We don't have enough volunteers. One of the biggest problems in this community is volunteers. "We need people and their in- volvement. Our level of giving must be higher because others cannot give," he says. The book, While Six Million Died, by Arthur D. Morse, im- pressed Stan with its message: "The world, including most Jews, looked away while the 6 million were dying, and they were dying because they were Jews." Stan and Enid were members of the 1982 Pinellas mission to Israel. On another mission for Federa- tion, Stan visited Poland and saw Auschwitz and Birkenau where many of the country's 3 million Jews died 40 years ago. Today on- ly 5,000 Jews remain in Poland. Many of them rushed to kiss the people on the mission because they "know that they are literally supported" by such groups, Stan says. It is important for Jews to know Stanley Newmark these facts, Stan continues, because "It could happen again." And that is why "it is so impor- tant that Israel remain economically, politically and even militarily free," Stan says, "because I'm a firm believer that Israel is one of the keys to Jewish survival throughout the world." Federation helps in this cause by allocating 50 percent of its funds to Israel, Stan explains. In turn, he believes, that the United States lends financial support to Israel "because they see tUiJ Jewish community ** think Jewishly'in that J'j ud to be Jews," Stan says Bringing the point down,, personal level, Stan re|2l couple of years ago JJ" daughter went to school, Star of David on her fa mentioned it to her and Why don't you slide that i bhe looked at me and said.1 I'm a Jew, proud I'm a jjL want people to know I'maJetl made me proud of her." Stan's commitment to p9 tion includes serving as Q, Campaign chairperson in and for three years as a ma. of the executive committal has served on the Fe board for five years. Stan is also a member of Te B'nai Israel in Clearwaterw he is a member of the Te board. He was on the Bon,.

We have clinical social prkers on staff, who understand psychological trauma of loss and can help people begin to live their lives more fully again. Peo- ple who have had trouble accep- ting being widowed have turned to GCJFS for counseling and have been very pleased with the results. "One of the rewards of being a social worker is to help people feel good about their lives again," says Iris Lee, director of Counseling at GCJFS. "I know how bad a per- son can feel when left without their spouse," says Mrs. Lee. It's hard to believe that life will ever have real pleasure again." Life, of course, goes on, regardless of whether a person wants it to or not.

NEW YORK The American Jewish Congress says rumors that Israel has been selling weapons to South Africa are false and not supported by data from experts monitoring interna- tional arms traffic. The Jewish organization was especially critical of an article in the Mar. 22 Washington Post in which writer Daniel Southerland stated that South Africa has received as much as 35 percent of Israel's arms exports in recent years. In a letter published in the Washington Post on May 22, AJCongress associate executive director Phil Baum and policy analyst Raphael Danziger said the newspaper's assertion was "all wrong" and that it was based on a misreading of statistics contained in a forthcoming book on Israel's arms exports. INASMUCH AS Israel had agreed to observe the November, 1977 UN arms embargo against South Africa, the newspaper's report that Israel was exporting arms was a "devastating charge," the AJCongress officials wrote in their letter. The charge became even more serious, they suggested, because Sen. William Proxmire used it as the basis for a declaration in a Senate speech in April that "this (annual) sale by Israel of $350 million in weapons to South Africa raised some very serious ques- tions about Israel." The Baum-Danziger letter said the erroneous Washington Post charge was drawn from a passage in a forthcoming book by Ahron Klieman which cites the 35 per- cent figure as an average for the 1970's before the UN embargo - not tiie 1980's. Klieman, in turn, obtained his figure from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute's 1980 year- book, where the fact that the figure was a pre-embargo reference is made clear, the AJCongress officials stated. THEY ADDED in their letter that there is no evidence of any Israeli arms supplies after November, 1977, except for the delivery of three patrol boats and ship-to-ship missiles whose actual purchase was made before the em- bargo went into effect an ar- rangement that was not a viola- tion of the embargo. The letter noted that Israel's adherence to the embargo provi- sions was confirmed on September 7, 1979 by Andrew Young, then U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, who certified that Israel has been observing the 1977 arms embargo against South Africa. The AJCongress officials also said that Sen. Proxmire's figure of $350 million as the amount of Israel's annual arms sales to South Africa is "especially outlan- dish" since South Africa's entire annual arms imports for the two- year period 1981-83 did not ex- ceed $35 million, according to the Stockholm Institute's 1984 yearbook. BAUM AND Danziger called the "false rumors" about Israeli arms sales to South Africa "deplorable" and pointed out that in addition to the Stockholm In- stitute's data, the 1984-85 year- book of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, a recogniz- ed authority on international ar- maments, shows that nearly the entire South African arsenal is of French, Italian or British origin. They said that "no matter what the facts, Israel obviously remains the whipping boy of choice." New York State Attorney General Robert Abrams will receive the American ORT Federation Community Achievement Award at an AOF testimonial luncheon to be held in his honor at New York's Sheraton Center on June 20. Haifa Theater Does Well On Germany Tour BONN (JTA) The Haifa Theater, which has been touring West Germany for the past two weeks, had a distinguished visitor for its performance before a capacity house in Duesseldorf. President Richard von Weizsaecker of the Federal Republic joined the large audience in ap- plauding the actors and playright after a three-hour perfor- mance of "The Ghetto.'* HE ATTENDED the production at the invitation of Noam Semel, managing director of the Haifa Theater. His appearance was seen as a gesture of solidarity with Israel as represented by its troupe of actors. Last week, they presented an Arabic-Hebrew version of Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" at a Bonn Theater. There were strong allusions to the Arab-Israeli conflict in the production which was acclaimed for its artistic merit.

They were driven from their homes Were shamed and were derided Their belongings confiscated The spoils then divided. That they fought so valiantly In their country's war Was now idle prattle T'was their duty years before. Honors worn so proudly From their breasts were rent And with yellow stars replaced They, from their homeland sent. They were victims of allegiance To their homeland, to their nation So were completely unprepared For their extermination. They were entrapped in synagogues That were set on fire And the Nazis held their posts To watch, the Jews expire. They were huddled into boxcars Father, mother, son and daughter, Robbed of every shred of dignity Then were put to slaughter. Violins were being played To camouflage the moaning Of a peoples' being tortured. Of a peoples' groaning. The concentration camps were filled There thousands were cremated And while the gray smoke filled the shies Their tormentors were elated. The fit were sent to labor camps Again the Jews were slaves Aristocrats in prison garb Reduced to digging graves. They were starved and tortured While the brutal Nazi beasts Resplendently attired Indulged in lavish feasts. The finest minds in Europe By them were dissipated Yet they wallowed in their glory For the chaos they created. Thousands faced the firing squads Were murdered without reason These were thefuhrer's orders The alibi was treason. They were accused of being communists Enemies of state This made their murders legal Their own makers of their fate. They were shot, gassed and cremated Were being worked to death Yet they prayed to God, their Father TUl they took their final breath. The children had to be destroyed To preclude any trace Of the crimes that were committed By the self styled master race. Such brutalities unthinkable In secret executed Were in mad men's minds conceived This can not be disputed. These monsters were no heroes This was only a facade. They quaked before their fuhrer Yet defied the laws of God. Six million precious lives were lost The death camps took their toll Yet the world looked on but did not see Where was the heart, the soul.

Out of Town Upon RaquaaL Friday, June 14,1985 25 SIVAN 5745 Volume 6 Number 12 Jewish Studies and Archeology Centei At USF Sponsor Dig The Jewish Studies Center and The Living Center for Biblical and Archeological Studies at the University of South Florida are sponsoring a dig in Israel this summer. The excavation under the direction of James F. Strange, Dean of the College of Arts and Letters at USF, will be located at ancient Sepphoris in the Lower Galilee where the group has been working for the past three years. Sepphoris is a major Roman and Byzantine site about four miles from modern Nazareth. Its main importance for Judaism is the fact that Rabbi Judah the Prince lived the last 17 years of his life there, during which time he colated the Mishnah. The excavation team will in- clude staff members and volunteers from universities and colleges throughout the U.S. This year the project has attracted quite a few Suncoast archeology buffs. Travelling with the group this year will be Janet Bragin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Steve Bragin, who will be digging for the first time, and Joan Keller, a veteran of 7 seasons in the field. Full participation in the project includes daily excavation at the site, seminars on the archeological history of ancient Palestine, and archeological methods, two side trips to other sites, and the oppor- tunity to learn some of the most highly technical skills used in modern field archeology. The only requirements for participation is a high school education, good health and a willingness to work hard. The total cost for the four weeks is $1895. This includes round trip fare from Atlanta, leaving July 20 and returning August 18, room and board in the Galilee Hotel in Nazareth, ground transportation and sightseeing costs, and six semester hours of credit (or audit) through USF's Weekend College. Joan Keller, the project's ad- ministrative assistant, stated that there are a few places left with the rpoject, and especially for a nurse or doctor. She also mentioned a unique problem facing the group this year. Because of the need to purchase high tech equipment, scholarship funds for staff person- nel are lacking. One person needing assistance is a young Rab- bi from St. Louis. Susan has dug in Israel several times and her skills are highly regarded. Since she serves a small new congress tion, they cannot afford to assL. ' her. If anyone would like to hefe "send a Rabbi to Israel." wto would also be a real boon to the project, please call Joan 2 531-2923 or Dr. Strange at USF 974-2804. Susan's travel ami housing expenses are $15oo for the four weeks. Anyone interested in further in- formation about joining the grow may contact Joan Keller before June 18, at which time an orienta- tion meeting will be held at the university at 7:30 p.m. at Cor, Hall. ^ Life Saving Course To Be Held At Funeral Chapel The American Heart Associa- tion, in cooperation with Beth David, Jewish Funeral Directors, will hold a "Heart Saver Course," Tuesday July 9 at 6 p.m. This is a combined course and will instruct students how to administer CPR in a one-man rescue and how to save a choking person.

At a press conference last Fri- ay afternoon, Shultz welcomed i particular the King's announce- nent that "the Palestinians" had to participate begotiations on the in peace basis of fmted Nations Security Council esolutions 242 and 338.

"TIME IS essential," Shultz said, quoting an earlier statement by the Jordanian King. He said that Hussein's account of the new PLO position "is a very signifi- cant one," since the latter has been in close consultation with the organization. One area in which some head- way had been made, Shultz said, was on the composition of a pro- posed joint Jordanian-Palestinian delegation that would meet with New PLO Office LONDON (JTA) The PLO opened an office in Copenhagen recently, the WJCongress reported here. The office does not enjoy diplomatic status nor pro- tection and therefore cannot be viewed as formal recognition of the PLO, the WJC said. c 1Q6S BMtncfl Compante.

Shultz repeated the Administra- tion's position that it would not object to meeting with members of the Palestine National Council, as long as they were not also members of the PLO. Israel regards the PNC as a PLO body, while the U.S. does not. But Shultz added there remained "many obstacles which we have to overcome."

Letter to Reagan Urges Egypt to Honor Commitments WASHINGTON On the eve of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's visit to the United States, Senators Jesse Helms (R., N.C.), Steve Symms (R., Idaho) and Rep. Duncan Hunter (R., San Diego) and 16 of their colleagues sent a letter to President Reagan to ask that the White House press the Egyptian government to honor its commitments to nor- malize relations with Israel. The letter, delivered to the White House Mar. 7, also urged that the United States assure Israeli control over strategic areas vital to its security specifically Judea, Samaria, Gaza and Golan. The letter was the result of numerous meetings with con- gressmen by Peter Goldman, director of Americans For A Safe Israel. The group has been con- ducting meetings in Washington the past few months. "THIS IS ONE of the most significant statements on the Mid- dle East to emerge from Con- gress," said Goldman. "Their (the congressmen) statement breaks a lot of new ground in that it is a beginning in the repudiation of the conventional wisdom and faul- ty policy that Israel should give up territory in exchange for an unen- Sen. Jesse Helms forceable paper peace treaty. It asks the President to support Israel, support Israel's retention of key strategic areas necessary for defense, including all of Judea, Samaria, Gaza and "GoTah'," "The entire thrust of the letter is in opposition to State Depart- ment thinking on the Middle East, and of course, at odds with the Reagan Plan for the Middle East," Goldman said. "The signers understand the concept of peace through strength, the need to support democracies, Israel's value and the danger of the Soviet threat to the Middle East and the world." HELMS AND Symms were joined in the letter by Sens. THE TOAST OF THE TOWN" (OSJ 8W-4154 Alfonse D'Amato, Paula Hawkins, John East, Chic Hecht and Mack Mattingly. The similar House letter, coor- dinated by Hunter, was also sign- ed by Jim Bates, Jack Fields, Bob McEwen, Mickey Edwards. Gerald Solomon, Robert Dornan, William Dannemeyer, Robert Walker, David Monson, Jim Couter and Mac Sweeney. "Israel has already given up 90 percent of the territories taken in 1967. To give up the minimum geostrategic areas of defense would be a serious weakness destabilizing the region," the lawmakers wrote. "We believe it is an illusion to imagine that the surrender of defensible borders in exchange for an unenforceable treaty will lead to peace." The solons also noted that under current administration proposals, portions of Israel could be narrow- ed down to a width of nine miles. "Israel cannot continue to be a strategic or even a viable nation if it is made strategically vulnerable. We cannot support any plan which envisions Israel only nine miles wide in the center." THEY ALSO NOTED that Israel has fortified the strategic depth of the entire Sinai, the strategic heights of the mountain- top warning system, oil fields, air- bases, towns and villages at a cost of $20 billion. Egypt, on the other hand, has not normalized diplomatic and trade relations with Israel, pro- mised in the Camp David treaty. More than 50 trade and cultural agreements remain unfulfilled. Besides his involvement in the signing and writing of the letter, Symms recently sponsored a Senate showing of AFSI's highly acclaimed film, "NBC in Lebanon: A Study in Media Misrepresenta- tion," for fellow lawmakers and their aides.

Two ter- rorists were Idled, bringing to 13 the number of terroriste slain by Israeli forces over the weekend. Military sources said the up- surge in attacks on the Israel Defense Force and its allied South Lebanon Army (SLA) came from rival guerrilla and terrorist groups eager to outdo each other. The sources warned that the at- tacks might escalate as the Israeli presence in south Lebanon nears an end. The IDF is expected to be completely out of Lebanese ter- ritory early this month. In incidents, four soldiers were wounded when a roadside ex- plosive detonated as their patrol was passing near Majdel Selim village, about eight kilometers in- side Lebanon opposite the Israeli border town of Manera. An 1W unit spotted two terrorists m I the Akaya bridge over the Litai I River further to the north and j pursued them to Shakra village where the terrorists opened fire One Israeli soldier was wounded before both terrorists were Idled, j A Katyusha rocket was fired an IDF position in the security zone without causing casualtiesor| damage.

The vote was 9-8 with one abstention. Committee members opposed to the measure included four members of the Labor-Likud coalition, among them former Finance Minister Yoram Aridor of Likud who called the tax increase "stupid."
