Met- zenbaum, U.S. Senator from Ohio, will be the keynote speaker at the formal dedica- tion of the Joseph L. Morse Geriatric Center of the Jewish Home for the Aged of Palm Beach County, Inc. The ceremony will take place on the grounds of the Center on Sunday, Nov. 13 beginning at 10:30 a.m. In announcing Senator Metzenbaum as a featured speaker, Erwin H. Blonder, president of the Center's Board of Trustees, noted that the Senator has been foremost in his concern for the welfare of the aged. He has consist- ently called on Congress to oppose cuts in health care for the elderly and disabled. Recently he has introduced legislation to assist non-profit and government agencies in the feeding and housing of the poor, the elderly and the unemployed. He has been recognized and praised for his courage and commitment to fight for the principles and causes in which he strongly believes. The dedication of the Morse Geriatric Center is a milestone in the history of the local Jew- ish community.

Solarz (D-NY), member of the committee on foreign affairs, and Jacques Torczyner, pres- ident of the World Union of General Zionists. Congressman Solarz has been described by The Jerusalem Post as "one of the most committed and hard- working friends of Israel on Capitol Hill." In addition to his many study missions to the Middle East, he has served as co-chairman of the Interna- tional Conference on Arab and North African Jews, which explored some of the Jacques Torczyner problems faced by Jews living in Arab lands. He has used his Congres- sional seat as a forum for focusing attention on the plight of Syrian Jews, and he has introduced legislation re- quiring all schools to teach youngsters about the Holocaust. In 1979, he was appointed a member of the President's Commission on the Holocaust. Jacques Torczyner has been a leader in the Zionist move- ment for most of his life. Born in Belgium, he came to the United States in 1940 and af- filiated with the Zionist Org- anization of America of which he served five consecutive Continued on P*t> 2- Lebanese, Israel fighter bombers hammered at Syrian posts east of Beirut. At press time, there were no reports of Syrian planes challenging the Israeli fighters. Authorities feared a new escalation of fighting in Leb- anon, as the Israelis also struck at PLO forces in the Bekaa Valley who are being supported by the Syrians. And in northern Lebanon, PLO forces opposed to Yasser Arafat, aided by Syrians, struck at Arafat's remaining stronghold in the war-torn Country. The eight years of civil war in Lebanon remains un- changed as nine different poli- tical and military factions con- tinued their meetings in Geneva seeking a way to restore Lebanon's sovereignty. The only consensus reached after several days of delibera- tion was a resolution to "freeze" the May 17 agree- ment Lebanon had reached with Israel permitting the Is- raelis to have a patrol facilities when, as and if the Syrians move out of the Bekaa Valley when the Israelis bring their troops home. Meanwhile in Washington, President Reagan named former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld as his new Middle East troubleshooter. Admitting he has no solution for the region's problems, he told reporters, "It is worth our best efforts." He replaces Robert McFarlane who was named Oct. 17 as the White House national security ad- viser. Rumsfeld, following meet- ings with other Administration officials involved in the Mid- east situation, will oversee U.S. efforts to bolster the gov- ernment in Lebanon, try to ac- celerate withdrawal of Syrian, Israeli and Palestinian Libera- tion Organization forces, and try to negotiate peace between Israel and the Arab world.

Israelis Rap TEL AVIV (JTA) - Senior officers of the Israel Defense Force who took courses at Marine war colleges in the U.S. are critical of the way the Marines are taught to adapt to combat situations, the newspaper Maariv reports. ACCORDING TO Maariv, the Israeli officers say the Marine command lacked "vision and imagination" and was too prone to "go by the book." That basic attitude did not allow the Marines to adapt quickly to specific cir- cumstances not spelled out in military textbooks, the IDF officers claimed. They suggested that the Marines tended to rely too heavily on massive air or artillery support to "soften up" the enemy, a tactic that could not be applied to their mission or situation in Beirut. Berenice Rogers Judah contributors." The Lion of Judah category is a concept which began in 1972. The Lion of Judah pin, an original design in 14k gold, has become an internationally recognized symbol of women whose personal commitments to the annual Federation-UJA campaign is $5,000 or more. This recognizable symbol of giving is now available to communities throughout the United States. The Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County has joined the com- munities of Miami, Holly- wood, Ft. Lauderdale, and Boca Raton in adopting this ' concept which was originated by the Women's Division of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation. / Mrs. Hecht has served as chairman of the Florida Re- gion UJA Campaign Cabinet for three years and as chair- man of the Big Gifts Lun- cheon. Last year she was a member of the Lion of Judah Inaugural Luncheon Commit- tee. She has served as chair- man of the American Tech- nion Dinner. For the past several years Mrs. Rogers has served on the UJA Florida Region Cam- paign Cabinet, where she has served as Campaign Coordin- ator. She has served as a mem- ber of the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County's board of directors and was the first co-chairman of the Council on the Aged for the Federation. She was the founding chairman of the Lion of Judah Inaugural Luncheon last year. She pre- sently serves on the board of the Morse Geriatric Center and recently participated in the National UJA Leadership Gathering in Israel.

Project Renewal:! Our Partnership I In Israel's Future Day Care Centers Vital to Hod Hasharon By LOUISE ROSS, Assistant News Coordinator While in Israel to give the plenary address at the Interna- tional Congress of Family Therapy, Dr. Florence Kaslow, a local therapist and consultant, visited Hod Hasharon, the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County's twinned neighborhood northeast of Tel Aviv. "I'm very interested in what's happening in the renewal communities. It was arranged for me by one of the professional staff of the Jewish Federation to meet with the psychologist and social worker at the nursery schools in Giora, which is a distressed neighborhood on the outskirts of Hod Hasharon," related Dr. Kaslow in a recent interview. In Hod Hasharon, Dr. Kaslow was able to observe the two nursery schools both from the physical surroundings and the psychological climate. She found one of the schools to be bright and cheerful, well equipped and with a happy atmosphere, whereas the other one was depressing, deplorable and comparable to the worst inner city ghetto nursery schools. "It was like being in Egypt with flies in the kitchen and children sitting on potties on the floor right next to the kitchen," stated Dr. Kaslow. "The play areas are too small for children to let off steam." But Dr. Kaslow did find an encouraging sign. "They take old car tires and paint them to keep everything bright. They use low cost equipment to enhance and attempt to beautify this dismal school." According to Dr. Kaslow, the children truly need day care. "Families have six to ten children and exist on sub- standard incomes. The mothers are emotionally depleted. We must help give Israeli children a good start." Dr. Kaslow found that some children were very thin and that the meal provided at the nursery school was their main meal of the day. Some of the children were very timid and others seemed happy. She saw that the staff had to as- sume parenting as well as teaching functions. Dr. Kaslow discovered the morale at the schools to be very good. "There is a sense that the outside world is making an ongoing commitment to them and thai we are all partners in the task." Dr. Kaslow learned about a new concept that exists in some communities in Israel wliich she believes could be useful in Giora. "There is a different atmosphere among the poor oriental Jews. They are a male dominated society where women stay home to raise children and never go out. The women's only opportunity for socialization with other women takes place at the riverbanks where they do their laundry." Other communities have set up laundry centers recogn- izing that these are one of the few places that women can legitimately go, Dr. Kaslow explained. The laundry centers have a social worker as a receptionist who sets up informal groups for women to discuss child rearing, cooking, health, home making, etc. An attended playroom is provided for the children. "I was so impressed with that concept," Dr. Kaslow said. Dr. Kaslow, who also was in Israel as a visiting professor at Tel Aviv University, moved to the West Palm Beach area from Philadelphia one-and-a-half years ago. She is Director of the Florida Couples and Family Institute and an Adjunct Professor of Medical Psychology, Department of Psychiatry at Duke University Medical School in Durham, N. C. A tour of Hod Hasharon and an opportunity to meet some of the residents can be arranged for anyone traveling to Israel. For more information, contact the Jewish Feder- ation office. Dr. Florence Kaslow visited Hod Hasharon this summer to see first-hand the condition of the nursery schools in Giora and to meet with their profes- sional staff. Although her visit was not official, her interest la Renewal communities prompted her to make contact with the Jewish Federation of Pilm Beach County's twinned community in Israel. 4 The Jewkh Floridian of Phn B^ch County / Friday, November 11,1983 After 140 Years, B'nai B'rith Is Still Serving Us B'nai B'rith International began celebrating its 140th anniversary year by doing what it does best: serving the community. The Jewish service organization, whose half a million members in 48 countries comprise one of the largest organizations of its kind, was founded in 1843 by 12 emigres in New York City.. Their objective was to unite Jews "in the work of promoting their highest interest and Chose of humanity." Early in its history, B'nai B'rith focused on bringing together American Jews with disparate backgrounds. Today, B'nai B'rith is still aiding people in this objective. But their programs have proliferated to embrace such broader purposes as aiding disaster victims and fighting religious and racial bigotry. Whether a Jewish communal purpose is to confront the Soviet government's op- pressive policies against its Jewish populace; assit an elderly person in in- tegrating the golden years into life in a B'nai B'rith International apartment project for senior citizens; help youngsters grow into adult Jewish communal responsibility through the B'nai B'rith Youth Organization; or combat bigotry through its Anti-Defamation League founded 70 years ago, there one can see the guiding hand of B'nai B'rith. So significant has B'nai B'rith been throughout these 140 years, that Presidents of the United States have recognized its highest commitments to the Jewish community and to this nation. From Grover Cleveland and Theodore Roosevelt to Woodrow Wilson, from Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman to Dwight Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy, from Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon to Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter the presidential praise has been glowing and unstinting. Said President Johnson: "You have never tired, you have never faltered, you have never lost faith in your cause; and your cause has given faith to your nation. You are pro-justice and pro-freedom." That says it all. On B'nai B'rith s 140th anniversary, the organization may look forward to much more to do. But what higher praise than this can there be? Affront to America The Reagan Administration's decision to spurn the medical assistance instantly offered by Israel to victims of the terrorist bombing in Lebanon on Oct. 23 is more than an affront to Israel. It is an affront to every American. As a consequence of this shabby decision, lives of Marines were snuffed out who might otherwise have survived their long and senseless trip to hospitals in Europe, where they arrived too late for treatment. State Department and other high government officials unwilling to be quoted have since frankly admitted that the government spurned Israel's offer because it was afraid of the Arab reaction. The Arab the reaction to what? Who was it in the first place who killed 230 Marines in Lebanon? Once again, President Reagan demonstrates that neither he nor those advising him understands Lebanon, or the Middle East either, for that matter. Northing he can say about the purpose of our presence in Beirut therefore makes a scintilla of sense. In separating himself from Israel at the actual cost of American lives, the President has absolutely no right to ihi i that link the United States and IsTaeTin^ cause of freedom. That is pure political mumbo-jumbo. His Administration's irresponsible policies speak more loudlv than his hypocritical, saccharin words Mr. Reagan is willing to spend American lives for his penny-ante political un- derstanding of the stakes in Lebanon Russian Jewish Immigrant Details' Life Behind The Iron Curtain Jewish floridian of Palm Beech County Combining Our Voice and Federation Reporter FRED K.

Fla 33401 Phone B32 2120 Out Of Town Upon Request Friday, November 11,1983 Volume 9 By LOUISE ROSS Assistant News Coordinator Nearly two years ago, Michael Melamud, a recent Russian immigrant, moved to West Palm Beach. He needed a place to live without cost so that he would be able to attend the School of Radiological Technology at St. Mary's Hospital. He could not support himself fully while going to school full-time. Responding to a plea from the pulpit of Rabbi Howard Hirsch of Temple Beth El, Mary and Floyd Bachrach offered Melamud a place to stay in their home. "We had a house with five bedrooms, the kids were gone and it hardly seemed right not to help," stated Mrs. Bachrach. Now, two years later, Melamud has graduated from St. Mary's and works at JFK Hospital in the radiology department. This reporter spoke with him the day before he was scheduled to take his board examination for a national license which will enable him to work in major hospitals in the United States. It is not often that we get a personal insight into what it feels like to be a Jew in the Soviet Union from a recent emigrant who lives in this area. Melamud's story of life in Russia and his family's successful attempt to leave underscores the difficulties of growing up Jewish in an overtly hostile country. Melamud was 20 years old when he left Russia and came to Cleveland, Ohio in 1979 with his parents and a 13-year- old brother. They had applied to leave Russia just one year prior. According to Melamud, people who have problems getting out are politically active and criticize the way things are done in Russia. My father didn't which made things easier for us," stated Melamud. However, they encountered the typical first refusal, the frustration and anxiety dealing with the bureaucracy and the loss of citizenship once permission ^vas granted to emigrate. "The process was very degrading." They lived in a little town outside of Kiev where his rSSST ?flhfchr' a doc,or- "*> *" charge of the coroner's office. His official reason for wanting to leave Russia was his desire to be with his family in Israel which was considered by the government as a legitimate reason. One cannot apply to go to the U.S. directly. However, one of the main reasons the family wanted to emigrate was that "Russian people are very prejudiced against Jews. I knew I was Michael Melamud Jewish," Melamud said, "but 1 was raised without any religion, just with Russian culture. My nationality, nevertheless, was considered Jewish. Even though I was born there and spoke the language, the people were pre- judiced against you because you are born Jewish." Several incidents in his childhood reinforced his feelings of isolation and his anger at being stereotyped. "In school kids would pick on me, even my friend, so that I was afraid to go ic classes. They would say to me to get out and go to your country Israel." When Melamud turned 16, he began to fight back. He started to lift weights to build up his physical stature and strength so that he could slant up to anyone who spoke ill of ihe Jews. "When I was 17, 1 was absolutely wild. I couldn't stand people talking against the Jews. Once I pushed a man out of a bus who was bad- mouthing the Jews and^ wouldn't stop. If you. strong, people leave y0, alone." Even in Russia one can speak up for himself if it's a personal thing, Melamud stated. Name calling and dero- gatory remarks were not the only anti-Semitism thai Melamud encountered. If ii were not for Melamud's coach befriending him, he would not have been accepted into college. "I had good grades but eight people applied for every slot available My coach made sure that I wouldn't be rejected solel> because I was Jewish." During his college years, he was in the top 5 percent of his class but when it came time for a special project which required six months work in a factory, his Jewish nationality once more came to the forefront. "I should have been sent to the best factory in Leningrad because of my high standing in the class. Hut I was not allowed to go because the factory didn't want Jews. 1 heir products had a military significance," related Melamud. The nationally condoned anti-Semitism finally made the Mclamuds realize that the) would never be at home in Russia. They arc now com- fortable living as Jews in the U.S. Melamud speaks EsjBi with just a slight accent- I left Cleveland because there was a large population o Russian immigrants and i wanted to be able to >pe English more.

Kaplun Foun- dation, has once again unearthed an impressive group of highly talented young American Jews. Among the eight winners this year was Barry Paul Mann, 23, from West Palm Beach. Some of the winners were attracted by the all-expense Barry Paul Mann (right] with Teddy Koilek, mayor of Jeru- salem.

Whatever was their motivation, the eight winners chosen from among entrants representing 69 uni- versities across the country, wrote essays deemed "remarkable by any academic standards," by Professor Henry L. Feingold, President of the American Jewish Historical Society and chairman of the contest. Mann's essay postulates that Jewish survival is "a personal issue." The Jewish body, he writes, "is the sum of all the Jewish people; Jewish experience is the things we do, feel, and endure as Jews." It includes "our history, our scriptures, our faith, our customs, our dogma, our land, and our relation to those around us. Judaism depends on the continuity of this ex- perience and on its constancy. In Israel, to be a Jew is to be a person, because most persons are Jews. In the Diaspora, however, and especially in societies as integrated as our ow n, the sun ival ot the Jew ish people depends upon the survival of each individual Jew. It is in the Jewish ex- perience of the individual that Judaism must survive." According to Mann, it Jews attend synagogue, it should be because worship gives them meaning, and not because attendance gives them respectability; "because the rabbi is a wise man from whom they can learn, and not an authority figure from whom they gain reprieve. If Jews find in Judaism a context for meaningful social in- teraction, it should be with an awareness of how that inter- action brings out the godliness in them. If they marry within the religion, it should be not because Judaism needs them, but because they need Judaism. If they raise their children to be Jewish, it should be clear that Judaism is a gift they give them to enrich their lives, not something they impose on them to lighten their own. If Jews support the State of Israel, it should not be because it just guarantees Jewish survival, but because it fulfills the Jewish soul. If Jews speak of God, it should be because they know Him or because they wish to know Him and not becuase He is a character in a prayer book or because people listen when His name is mentioned. Barry Mann attended reform synagogue in West Palm Beach until his Bar Mitzvah and unlike the others, had little connection with Judaism at university. He described himself as the "least" Jewish of the contest winners, speaking only about six words of Hebrew, under- standing only about seven. During his third year at Harvard, dissatisfied, he took time off to travel in the Mediterranean on a shoe- string. His experience in Israel and with Jews in countries such as Egypt and Tunisia, figure into his essay.

Defense Minister Moshe Arens cited other examples of what he said was a U.S. policy of "distancing itself from Israel ever since 1,200 Marines were sent to Beirut in Septem- ber, 1982, as part of the multi- national peacekeeping force. Israel has been insisting, ever since the tragic death of some 230 Marines and sailors in the suicide bombing of Marine headquarters at Beirut airport, that the Americans were not invited to Beirut by Israel and were not defending Israel. But Arens, addressing the Commercial and Industrial Club in Tel Aviv last Friday, complained that Washington had gone out of its way to demonstrate that the U.S. was not coordinating its strategy with Israel. He charged that instead of working together with the Is- raeli and Lebanese govern- ments against the inroads of Soviet-backed Syria, the U.S. had consistently worked to create the impression that it was supporting the Lebanese against Israel. JERUSALEM On the eve of the Lebanese national reconciliation conference in Geneva, Israel has strongly warned against any attempt to scuttle the May 17 Lebanon- Israel agreement. In statements by Defense Minister Moshe Arens and by Cabinet Secretary Dan Meri- dor over the weekend, Israel insisted that the agreement, predicated on the withdrawal of Syrian, Israel and PLO troops from Lebanon, provided the basis for security arrangements along the border without which Israel could not leave Lebanon. Meridor, speaking after Sunday's weekly Cabinet meeting, noted that abroga- tion of the agreement would be "very serious indeed" be- cause it would set a precedent whereby an Arab state, having concluded an accord with Israel, could be pressured and threatened into revoking it by another Arab state. NEW YORK Lebanese Foreign Minister Elie Salem said Sunday that a complete Israeli withdrawal from Leba- non may provide the Syrian government with a needed in- centive for it to withdraw its troops from Lebanon and end what the Lebanese official termed as Syria's "illegal" oc- cupation of his country. "We believe that the with- drawal of the Israeli forces would be a major inducement for the Syrian forces to with- draw from Lebanon," Salem said in an interview via satellite from Bern, Switzer- land on the ABC-TV "This Week with David Brinkley" program. TORONTO Jim Kecgstra is no longer Mayor of Eck- ville.

Ed- monton. The vote was 278-123 in favor of Keegstra's challenger, Harold Leach, with 92 percent of the town's eligible voters casting ballots. While Keen- stra's blatant anti-Semitism was not an issue in the cam- paign there were no Jews in Eckville it definitely hovered in the background.

Jackson. In his more than 40 years in Con- gress, "Scoop" Jackson, as he was affectionately known, was the epitome of a dedicated, idealistic and supremely effective public servant. His far-reaching social and humanitarian concerns, his devotion to the finest values of American life, and his exemplary grasp of the most crucial issues of our times have earned him a unique place in the esteem of his countrymen and the respect of all nations. We are all aware of Henry Jackson's important efforts and valiant stand in the struggle to win freedom for Soviet Jewry. He cared deeply about the Jewish people and the State of Israel. He was a steadfast champion of Israel's cause and an influential voice in her behalf. We are all diminished by his passing. Beach County To Pay Senator Henry Jackson A memorial forest in memory of Senator Jackson is being established in Israel by his friends in the American Jewish community; and the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County will assist in the establishment of this memorial by funneling all gifts to the Jewish National Fund, the agency which is coordinating this effort. We are hopeful of achieving a goal of S3,000 to enable us to establish a grove in the name of the Palm Beach County Jewish community within the Senator Henry Jackson Memorial Forest.

A CLEAR instance i cooperation with Israel [so directly in the best sis of the United States having American lives |ooperation was spurned. ers of Congress have ledly been asking the Inistration why they not to accept Israeli fcnce that stood only |esaway. These questions the same frustration felt earlier this year when the Administration suspended the Memorandum of Under- standing between Israel and the U.S., and when it refused to establish liaison between Israeli and American forces in Lebanon. In the days preceding the Beirut bombing, Congress had become critical of another aspect of the Administration's Middle East foreign policy a secret Administration plan tucked away in a Defense Appropriations Bill to arm and train a Jordanian Rapid Deployment Force. This ill- advised plan, ostensibly created to assist friendly Arab nations in times of internal unrest, ignores the realities of Jordan's reluctance to co- operate with the United States, and the potential threat such a force poses to Israel s security. It is fair to asl: why the Reagan Admin stration consistently and re >eatedly is ignoring the strategic value of Israel as an ally. If olame for this situation can be placed on one individual the culprit is Defense Secretary Weinber- ger. INSTEAD of relying on Weinberger's affinity for working with "moderate" Arabs, the Administration would do well to consider Henry Kissinger's recent suggestion that the Middle East balance of power, and the protection of U.S. interests in the region can best be served by closer ties between the United States and Israel. The tragedy of Beirut can be a lesson well-learned that cooperation, rather than confrontation with Israel, is in the best interests of the United States. Or the Administration can continue with its head-in- the-sand Middle East policies. It was also curious to note in President Reagan's address to the nation on events in Grenada that U.S. Marines had discovered a large cache of weapons enough, as the President said, to equip thousands of terrorists. News accounts showed a storeroom full of weapons stacked to the ceiling, with Marines ex- YOUR OPINION COUNTS Tell usWhfct you Think!!

By CHAM BERMANT London Chronicle Syndicate Should Jews as a commu- nity contribute to the West- minster Abbey restoration fund? Britain's Prince Philip, in a letter to the Chief Rabbi, suggested that it might, and quoted tee precedent of a group of Jewish merchants who, in 1245, sent money to Henry III towards the rebuild- ing of the Abbey. His Royal Highness is prob- ably not a medieval scholar and may not have been ex- pected to know this, but his staff should have advised him that the 1245 precedent was not a particularly happy one, for the money was not donated, but extorted. The Royal Exchequer was, in fact, running a virtual pro- tection racket and obtained 2,500 Pounds from one Jewish family, 3.000 Pounds from another, and a large but unstated sum from Aaron of York, whose father had been martyred in the massacre of York in 1190. And what is worse, these exactions did not prevent the expulsion of the entire Jewish community in 1290. IN THE circumstances, I feel that the Prince used less than his usual tact in writing his letter at all. Nor was it phrased with the delicacy one might have expected. "I quite understand," he wrote, "that individual Jewish charities normally restrict their dona- tions to their own commu- nity." It would, 1 think, be under- standable if they did,and some Career Exploration Jewish Family anJ Children's Service of Palm Beach County, Inc., and the Jewish Community Center are co-sponsoring a two-week workshop for high School students, entitled "Career Ex- ploration." The workshop will meet on Nov. 14 and 21, in the evening, and will include career interests, decision mak- ing, work values and a per- sonal-skill inventory. Because a small group format will be used for kerning and discus- sion, ore-registration by Nov. Bar/Bat Mtxvali LAURA DEITSCH Laura Deitsch, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Deitsch of Wellington, became a Bat Mitzvah on Friday evening, Nov. 4, at Temple Beth Zion. Rabbi Nathan Zelizer of- ficiated. Laura is the first Bat Mitzvah from Temple Beth Zion's Hebrew School which began this September. She is in the eighth grade at Crestwood Middle School and a member of the National Junior Honor Society. THEODORE SHAPIRO Theodore Shapiro, son of Carol Shapiro of Palm Beach Gardens and Gerald Shapiro of West Palm Beach, will be- come a Bar Mitzvah on Satur- day morning, Nov. 12, at Temple Beth David. Ted will also conduct the Friday night services. Rabbi William Marder and Cantor Earl Rackoff will officiate. Ted is an eighth grader at Howell Watkins Junior High. He is active in sports and plays soccer for the Palm Beach Gardens Recreation De- partment. 9 is suggested. The sessions will be led by- Marilyn David-Topperman, Clinical Social Worker.

There are large, prosperous and well-established commu- nities of Moslems, Hindus and Sikhs in this country. Did they receive a similar appeal from the Prince? I suspect not, though he would have had strong grounds for approach- ing at least the first-mention- ed, not because there happen to be a great many extremely wealthy Arabs in this country, but because the Moslem community received the magnificent Regent's Park site for their London mosque as a gift from the British taxpayer. I know of no other commu- nity, and certainly of no Jewish institution, which has been so favored. IT COULD, perhaps, be argued that Jews as an organ- ized community have been around for so much longer than the Moslems, Hindus or Sikhs, that they are so well in- tegrated, and are regarded as part of the fabric of old Eng- land and, as such, could be reasonably expected to help maintain the fabric of one of old England's most venerable institutions. That, indeed, is the most charitable construc- tion which can be put on the Prince's letter. It could further be suggested that, since England is almost a pagan country, and since the Abbey has been virtually de- consecrated by the relentless march of tourist hordes, one .an dismiss the embarrassment which can arise when the adherents of one faith are invited to contribute to the upkeep of the institutions of another; but do do so would, in a sense, abet the drift towards paganism. One of the reasons why it is so difficult for Jews to stay Jewish in England is that Eng- lishmen are ceasing, or have ceased, to be Christian. THERE IS really only one reason why any non-Christian should wish to help the restoration appeal, and that is the pleasure one gets from the sight of the Abbey. I have been there many times and, in spite of the crush of tourists and the baoble of voices, I have been moved by the very scale of the place, the gran- deur of its monuments (especi- ally in the Henry VII chapel), its associations, its ghosts, its treasures, including a pair of magnificent farm,,.

Iranian Brothers May Make It Here hu By WILLIAM SAPHIRE NEW YORK (JTA) Iranian Jewish brothers, dered deported from the ,S., may be admitted legally refugees after following a ocedure outlined in an jreement reached over the weekend with the U.S. Immi- ation and Naturalization rvice (INS), the Jewish Tele- aphic Agency was informed lis week. David Pollock, assistant di- xtor of the Jewish Commu- hy Relations Council (JCRC) if New York, told the JTA iat the three-phase agreement worked out in discussions :iween the brothers' attor- y, Leon Wilder, and U.S. [fficials under the aegis of ;ederal Judge Leo Glasser hose restraining order a week To halted INS attemps to port the brothers to Spain, a |untry which refused to imitthem. THE TWIN brothers, Fara- az and Behrooz Sedgh, 23, wagreed to leave the U.S. r Vienna under an Order ol xclusion, which they will not west. Once in Vienna, they y file immediately for ad- ''ion to the U.S. as ;fugees. The government has waived * one-year waiting period wmally required in such P% Pollock said, and their PP'ication for refugee status Deaths EJLW2 Palm BMC*.

The brothers were arrested on January 22, 1983 for enter- ing the U.S. with false pass- ports, their only means of escape from Iran. Pollock said that as part of the agreement, they will furnish U.S. authori- ties, with information about how they obtained the pass- ports, "to the best of their knowledge." This will be done before they depart for Vienna. POLLOCK said that, ac- cording to Wilder, once the formalities are over, the U.S. will approve the application. He said a government official indicated there was no reason why this should not be the case and estimated that the broth- ers' stay in Vienna will be no longer than 3-4 weeks. The date of their departure for Vienna will depend on the response of the Austrian gov- ernment. If the Austrian au- thorities do not signify in writing by November 11 that the brothers will be admitted, Judge Glasser can order their release from INS custody as parolees, Pollock said. He said the agreement was made possible through the in- tervention of three New York Congressmen, Gary Acker- man a Democrat and Hamilton Fish and Benjamin Gilman, both Republicans, who discussed the case with INS, State Department and Justice Department officials. The brothers must go to a for- eign country to seek refugee status because the law forbids anyone under an exclusion order from doing so within the U.S. POLLOCK EXPLAINED that Vienna was selected as the site for the formalities because the Rav Tov organization which is sponsoring the Sedgh brothers has facilities there. He said Rav Tov is an organi- zation of Satmar hasidim which helps Jews escape from Iran, the Soviet Union and countries of distress in eastern Europe. Meanwhile, according to Pollock, Ackerman has called for a Congressional hearing to investigate the INS action in this and similar cases. The Sedgh brothers were placed on a flight to Spain on October 20 even though the INS had been informed by the Spanish au- thorities that they would not be admitted. They were flown back to New York on October 21, only to be placed on another flight to Spain the next day. They were returned to New York on October 23 after being flown across the Atlantic four times and were about to be placed on yet another flight to Spain when Judge Glasser's restrain- ing order halted their odyssey. The INS had selected Spain because it was their last depar- ture point before the brothers reached the U.S. 10 months ago. The Brothers were taken from Kennedy Airport last Sunday to the INS detention center at the old Brooklyn Navy yard from where they were inexplicably transferred to the Manhattan Correctional Center, a federal jail. Accord- ing to Pollock they have since then been transferred back to the INS detention center.
