Get Involved, Or Risk Terrorism in U.S.
By JUDITH KOHN
(JTA) Egyptian
President Hoani Mubarak
made a final appeal for the
revival of United States
involvement in the Middle
East peace process as he
wound up a visit to
Washington last week.
At a luncheon address to the
National Press Club, the
Egyptian President obliquely
criticized the Administration's
hesitation to meet with a joint
delegation, as an initial step
toward direct negotiations with
"Some have suggested that the
United States should wait and
see how things develop,"
Mubarak said. "In effect the
proponents of this view advocate
inaction as a line of policy."
CALLING SUCH an attitude
"almost a defeatist approach,"
Mubarak again praised the
agreement concluded last month
between the Palestine Liberation
Organization and Jordan as
nroviding "a golden op-
portunity" upon which the U.S.
should act. "Its essense is crystal
clear," the Egyptian President
said, "a firm commitment to a
peaceful solution; the rest of it is
a matter of detail."
The PLO-Jordanian agreement
calls for a "peaceful and just
settlement of the Middle East
crisis" on the basis of "United
Nations and Security Council
Resolutions," and recognition of
the "right of self-determination
for the Palestinian people."
It does not refer explicitly to
UN Security Council Resolutions
242 and 338 or recognize Israel's
right to exist, which have been
U.S. conditions for opening a
dialogue with the PLO.
BEYOND PRAISING the
agreement, Mubarak did not call
explicitly for a dialogue between
the U.S. and the PLO, but in
response to questions following
the address, he repeated an
earlier suggestion that any joint
delegation include PLO members
whose direct involvement in the
organization is not public
"If I brought here 20
Palestinians, who of you could
tell me that this man is PLO, and
this min is non PLO?" the
President asked journalists at the
luncheon. Responding to his own
question, he said, 'You will never
recognize if he is PLO unless he
has something on his body
(indicating) that he is PLO. He is
a human being."
But Mubarak, like the Reagan
Administration, was careful to
avoid the appearance that
nothing had been accomplished
by his discussions in Washington
and that he was returning to
Egypt disappointed. "I came
here not seeking decisions now,"
he said. "I just came to exchange
AT THE same time, the
Egyptian President warned that
failure to resolve the Palestinian
problem soon would lead to a rise
in terrorist activity that would
not leave the U.S. untouched. "It
is no exaggeration to say that the
U.S. stands to suffer from that
more than any nation outside the
region," Mubarak said.
In his response to questions.
Mubarak also defended his
refusal to return the Egyptian
Ambassador to Israel, citing his
conditions that Israel first with-
draw from Lebanon and resolve

In 1952 there were 1,385
synagogues in New York City,
while today there are less than
700; about 100 synagogues
ceased to function last year 30
to 40 of them for financial reasons
and a similar number is ex-
pected to close down this year.
These figures were cited in a
report by Steve Lipman of The
Jewish Week, which focused, as
an example, on a struggling
synagogue in South Bronx. Most
of the endangered synagogues
are Orthodox, in areas such as
the Lower East Side.

mobile Jews have left, leaving
behind handfuls of elderly and
poorer Jews.
Officials of the New York
Federation have recommended
that a survey be conducted to
learn the extent of the problem:
meanwhile they suggested that a
revolving loan fund be
established, and that the
"healthy" congregations adopt
the faltering ones. However,
many congregants in such
synagogues apparently are
typically reluctant to ask for
tzedakah, and in any event,

extensive research on the
problem and the whole Palestine

the "Arab propaganda machine
was working effectively, but
what it was telling the world did
not meet the test of reality.''
She accused the Arab leaders
of "sacrificing the innocent to
preempt Israel and destroy the
infidel Jewish state that they
could not defeat through war."
She also asserted that the United
Nations, from the beginning,
helped in this by distorting the
definition of refugees so as to
enable the Arab leaders to inflate
the refugee figures to suit their
purpose. Thus, for example, any
Arab who had been in Israel for a
mere two years prior to the war in
1948 was entitled to be defined as
a refugee, and be entitled to UN

as saying that the leaders of the
Shi'ites in southern Lebanon will
bear full responsibility for
terrorist acts against the IDF.
Rabin added that he has given up
hope of being able to com-
municate with them, despite all
the efforts made, but he hoped
that after the withdrawal Israel
would be able to arrive at an
agreement for co-existence.
Meanwhile, he disclosed, Shi'ite
religious leaders were training

captured a 15-year-old who was
so trained, along with the car-
bomb he was about to drive on a
suicide mission.

an array of weapons captured by
the IDF in the homes of terrorists
just outside the line along which
Israel is deployed and the
weapons had been right out in the
open, in the people's living

50 Kalatchnikov automatic rifles,

Bombing With Fall of Kuneitra
Number 13
NEW YORK The Anti-
Defamation League of B nai
B rith has protested the recent
showing in Lidice
Czechoslovakia, of an exhibit
prepared by Syrian organizations
and officials which compared the
Nazi terror bombing of Lidice in
World War II wkh the fall of
Kuneitra. Syria, during the Six-
Day War in 1967.
The exhibition. entitled
Kunekra City of Martvrs "
*ss prepared by the Svrian
Committee of the Czechoslovak
Societv for International
Relations, the Syrian Embawrv
and the Union of Syrian Students
in Czechoslovakia. Photographs
of devastation in Lidice and

parallel between the two towns.

that in order to avenge the

destroyed the entire village of
Lidice, executed its entire male

HE WENT on to sav that "the
Syrians, still in a state of war
with Israel, are determined to
deal with the Jews (given the
opportunkyl the way the Nazis
dealt with the people of Lidice."
The ADL official also called
upon the Ambassador to urge his

5SR. "Unfortunately, there
little that it is a fairly easy
do," he said. "When a

the Soviet Jewry
nent. Everybody hears
it and copies are often
bted among the leaders."
pt of the mail that reaches
the U.S. is of the "Hello, how are
you, I am fine" variety, but the
censors occasionally slip and
letters with 'hard information' do
get through. It is through such
letters, and visits by Americans,
that the true plight of the
refuseniks has become known:
jobs lost, professional and
personal harassment, ostracism
and of course KGB threats,
beatings and jail. "It is a
horrendous situation," said
Rabbi Agler. "Were it not for the
organized concern of those of us
in the Free World, it would be
worse yet."
As examples of correspondence
just received he cited a letter
from Julia S. of Minsk. Julia was
the Bat Mitzvah "twin" of
Alyson Berliner of Boca Raton,
who wrote several times before
receiving this first response, a
two-page letter. "During the
three years that we've had the
twinning program under way
here in Boca Raton, though there
have been messages scrawled on
return receipt cards, this is the
first full letter we've received in
response," Agler said. "Whether
or not it is the start of a trend,
we'll have to wait and see but
it is a hopeful sign." The rabbi
also cited a letter from Yuri S., a
refusenik that he visited in
Leningrad. "After two years of
sending them letters, it was a
thrill to learn that he and his
family were in good health and
spirits, still hoping to be reunited
with their children in Israel."
Though the correspondence
was sent prior to the death of
Soviet Premier Chemenko, Agler
expects no sudden changes at
least not immediately under
the Gorbachev regime. "He too
has been a member of the ruling
Politburo for some time, and a
party to the decisions and
policies of recent years. We're
hopeful," he said, "but not overly
optimistic. Human rights are not
given a very high priority in the

The week following Super
Sunday was designated "Super
Sunday Week," with many
volunteers continuing to make
telephone calls throughout the
week in a "cleanup" campaign
to reach all those who had not
been reached during Sunday's
phon-a-thon. As of Tuesday
afternoon last week, the tote
board showed a figure of $415,000
had been reached.
"Special recognition and
thanks should go out to the
Super Sunday Cabinet," said
Gloria Massry. "These people
took on the work with en-
thusiasm and dedication, and
working with them has been a
very positive experience. Of
course, without the volunteer
telephone solicitors there
couldn't be a Super Sunday
hats off to the best crew of
volunteers we have ever had!
And there were those who stayed
the entire day, through the
evening, to the very end; to these
energetic people the Jewish
community is deeply grateful."
The Super Sunday Cabinet
consisted of Toby Hertz, Barbara
Gimelstob, Bari Stewart, David
London, Doris Cantor, Katie
Broock, Michael Mortman,
Nathan Herman, Joe S. Schenk
and Ben Karpen.
"Super Sunday, of course, is a
major fund-raising event. Yet, it
is much more than that. It is a
chance for a greater number of
Jews to be in touch with their
fellow Jews than on any other
occasion. We get to know each
other better, and create a spirit of
good will. The Jews of South
County can walk taller because of
this incredible common effort."

the results with an ap-
proximate increase of 25 percent
in gifts for this year's campaign.

Aliyah Council Forms
In South County
Dulzin Has 'Great Hopes' Soviets
Will Increase Jewish Emigration
in Tel Aviv were
The Israel Aliyah Center based
in Miami, in cooperation with the
South County Jewish Federation
and the Levis JCC, is forming a
local Aliyah Council, for the
South County area.
An "open house" meeting for
all interested in the subject of
aliyah (immigration to Israel), as
well as in the various exploratory
programs connected with it here
and in Israel, will be held at the
JCC on Tuesday evening, April
16. at 7:30 p.m. Uri Cohen, the
director of the Aliyah Center, will
be on hand to answer questions
and suggest directions for the
newly formed council.
Cohen, born in Jerusalem in
1944. is a shaliach (emissary)
from the Ahyah department of
the Jewish Agency. In Israel he
is a senior official of the Ministry
of Immigrant Absorption (he
served as director of the social
integration department, and
subsequently became director of
the Jerusalem and southern
region for the ministry), and he
served a stint as shaliach for the
Youth and Halutz department in
Chile from 1970 to 1974.
A former head of the Betar
youth movement. Uri Cohen is a
graduate of the Israel Produc-
Uri Cohen
tivity Institute, which produces
many of the country "s senior civil
servants, and has studied social
sciences at Hebrew University.
He has served on the President's
Advisory Council on Social and

Of Israel Camp Tours
(Note: Several weeks ago we
published an article on the High
School in Israel program, and
said we would publicize ad-
ditional programs. This is the
second article on such programs
for teens, which the South
County Jewish Federation helps
to subsidize by up to $600 per
Betar. the Zionist youth
movement that was the precursor
of the Irgun and of the Herut
Party in Israel, is hoping to make
headway in South Florida and
in the South County area by
getting teens to take part in one
of several summer Israel
programs it sponsors.
The programs include a Bar
Mitzyah camptour for ages 13-
14: Europe and Israel for ages 15-
18: "Tagar" (Challenge) tour for
college students: and advanced
seminars for both high school and
college ages. All tours this
summer will include attendance
at the Maccabiah Games, the
"Jewish Olympics."
Heading the Betar efforts in
South Florida is Eti Cohen, wife
of the Aliyah shaliach (emissary),
who was recently appointed
regional director by Salai
Meridor, the organization's
national director in New York.
One of her priorities, she says, is
to recruit some teenagers with
leadership qualities to take part
in a special leadership summer
program which is highly sub-
sidized, and who will serve to lead
Betar groups in the future.
Betar was founded by Ze'ev
Jabot in sky. a prominent Zionist
leader, in Europe in 1923. Its first
members came to Israel itf 1927,
and led the armed resistance
against Arab pogroms, and later
BU Cohen
against the British mandatory-
forces. Jabotinsky had organized
the Haganah. earlier, and the
Irgun became an offshoot of the
Haganah in the 30s. with Betar
members forming its core. Betar
is the Hebrew acronym for Brit
Yosef Trumpeldor, the leader of
the Jewish defenders of Tel Hai
near Metulla on the northern'
frontier, where he and seven
others were killed in 1921.
Today Betar is one of the
prominent youth movements in
Israel, with branches in North
and South America. Australia
and Europe. It has several
settlements of pioneers; runs two
youth villages (one agricultural
the other vocational) which work
with Youth Aliyah and with
youth from underprivileged
areas: and does a great deal of
service and educational work in
development towns.

want to make aliyah and helping
them with arrangements. Cohen
sees his main task as an
educational one. and not only for
those who already have an in-
terest in aliyah, but for the
community as a whole. A
decision to go on aliyah is a
natural result of a long
educational process, part of
which is an informed examination
of everything that is involved,
and another part being well
informed on life in Israel, in the
practical sense, says Cohen. "It
is my hope that people will join
the Aliyah Council in South
County even if, at this point, they
are only interested in promoting
the subject and have no personal
plans to make ahyah in the near
One of the programs which he
hopes to promote is a "Family

program with seven options of
living in various types of com-
munities from established,
veteran towns, to newly formed
settlements and kibbutzim;
engaging in forestry work with
the Jewish National Fund or
working in an archaeological dig,
or in a religious community in
Judea and Samaria.
The program is for a month
long stay (Jury or August), for
adults under 55 and children from
age 3 and up, with the cost
varying (excluding airfare)
between $330 to $920 per adult,
and $330 to $600 per child,
depending on location, and
whether full board or self-

programs, pilot trips, and other

Leon Dulzin has "great
hopes" that Jewish
emigration from the Soviet
Union will increase sub-
stantially "by the end of
the year." Only 88 Jews
were allowed to leave the
USSR last month.
Dulzin. who is chairman of the
Jewish Agency and World
Zionist Organization Executives,
told the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency that his hopes are
buoyed by the renewal of U.S.-
Soviet arms talks and other signs
of a thaw between the super-
HE SAID the Russian
leadership seems to be anxious to
improve relations with the U.S.
and a liberalization of their policy
on Jewish emigration would seem
to be "the cheapest way" to
achieve a better atmosphere.
According to Dulzin, the Soviets
"have been keeping them (the
Jews) as hostages" and "now
may be the right time for them to
cash this chip."
Meanwhile, well placed sources
in Tel Aviv suggested that the
Soviets have taken the ap-
pointment of Max Kampelman, a
Jew. to head the U.S. delegation
to the Geneva arms talks, as a
clear message from Washington.
The sources said a senior Soviet
diplomat was heard to refer to the
appointment as a manifestation
of "Jewish influence" in the U.S.
Implicit in this, the sources
believe, is a possible Soviet
assessment that Kampelman's
appointment signals
Washington's interest in an
alleviation of the restrictions
imposed on Jewish emigration
from the USSR. Whether or not

Israel Bonds
Weisenbergs Honored By Israel Bonds
Eleanor and Leonard
Weisenberg will be given the
prestigious Heritage Award on
behalf of the State of Israel
Bonds at a cocktail party in their
honor at Del-Aire Country Club
this Sunday.
Leonard's commitment to
tzedaka began when he was a
little boy growing up in Pitt-
sburgh. His parents set the
example, and he remembers the
first time he put money into a
JNF blue-and-white box, "The
first time is difficult, but when
you experience the joy of giving,
it becomes a real thrill."
Elbe and Leonard became
involved in Israel Bonds 16 years
ago. They became 'Prime
Ministers,' and have continued
the fine tradition to this day.
They have been to Israel twice;
the first time was two weeks after
the Yom Kippur War in 1973, and
it was a sad trip. They attended
funerals and visited hospitals.
Last year they took part in the
UJA Mission in October, along
with a sizable contingent of their
neighbors from Del-Aire.

"The contrast was
remarkable," said Ellie. "People
were bubbling with activity, and
the growth was phenomenal."

"Judaism all over the world is

Holders of State of Israel Fifth
Development Issue Bonds, which
mature beginning in March,
1986, can receive their interest up
to a full year early by reinvesting
the entire proceeds of their bonds
in new Israel Current Income
Eugene B. Squires, chair of the
South County Israel Bond
campaign, explained that a large
number of Fifth Development
Issue Savings and Coupon Bonds
which were purchased fh the
period beginning in March, 1971,
will mature beginning in March,
"The Government of Israel has
agreed to permit holders of these
Bonds to reinvest the maturity
value of their Bonds toward the
purchase of new Bonds a full year
before the maturity date,"
Squires said. "This means that
Bonds maturing in March, 1986
will be available for reinvestment
in March, 1985, and so on."
Because of this special
privilege, the Bond Organization
has launched an intensive
reinvestment effort in our
community. Holders of Bonds
due to mature next year will soon
be contacted by the Rein-
vestment Committee or the local
Bond office.
Squires pointed out that,
although Israel currently faces
economic difficulties, the nation's
economy is basically sound.
"By reinvesting maturing
Israel Bonds, friends of Israel can
demonstrate their confidence in
the nation's underlying economic
strength. They can help to
provide research and develop-
ment funds for Israel's high-
technology industries, thus
improving the nation's exports
and putting Israel back on the
road to economic stability." For

'Auschwitz Lie' Legislation Brim
Cries of Too Much Compromise
coalition parties aere* ,
Pwer S*te PrSSZ'
initiate legal ^^
Proposed legislation that
would criminalize the neo-
Nazi propaganda claim that
the Holocaust never oc-
curred the so-called
"Auschwitz lie" con-
tinued to bedevil officials
and legislators here despite
a compromise reached by
the government coalition
partners last Friday in-
tended to avoid a bruising
debate in the Bundestag.
The compromise was sharply
attacked by local Jewish and non-
Jewish groups and by prominent
individuals, including members
of the coalition parties. Helmut
Leonardy, chairman of the West
German Association of Judges
called it a "bad compromise"
likely to worsen rather than
improve the present situation.
HEINZ GALINSK1. head of
the West Berlin Jewish com-
munity, said the compromise
failed to take into account the
unique character of the Third
Reich's annihilation policy
against Jews. He also said that
the bickering among the various
parties over so grave a matter
seriously damaged West Ger-
many's image. "As a former
inmate of Auschwitz I feel myself
offended by this continuous
quarrel." Galinski said.
The most offensive feature of
the compromise legislation from
the standpoint of German Jews
and others is that it equates the
Holocaust with the crimes of
"terror regimes" against Ger-
mans during and after World
War II. Persons who claim for
example that millions of Ger-
mans were not expelled from the
eastern regions of Germany after
the war would be subject to the
same penalties as those who
allege the Holocaust was a hoax.
Another dubious element of
the compromise is that it does
not consider the "Auschwitz lie"
an offense per se but rather an
insult to relatives of persons who
perished in the Holocaust. The

I Middle East.
[ONE occasion, the master
.reek rescue ship informed
ead of the Jewish escape
On Evia that he had a "very
fcant passenger" to spirit
(Greece who, however, was
lewish. He was embarked
nevertheless. His name was
George Papandreou, a prominent
anti-Nazi resistance fighter with
a price on his head. After his
rescue by Haganah he joined the
Free Greek Forces fighting with
the British army in North Africa.
Peres' father, Itzhak, was also
a volunteer fighter with British
forces. He was taken prisoner by
the Germans but managed to
escape and found his way to
Greece. He hid out there, being
transferred from one monastery
to another to avoid detection by
the Gestapo. His benefactors
were the Greek underground
which set up a special rescue
team to help the Jewish soldier
from Palestine.
PERES HIMSELF told the
story to the JTA here. The man
in charge was Michael is Zoustis,
now 75, who assigned four un-
derground members to protect
his father. They were known only
by code names: Babis,
Charalambos, Stathis, and Lakis
the Lawyer. After a year, they
managed his escape from Greece.
Peres' father died two years later
in Palestine.
PERES SAID he would never
forget what happened during
those years. "I shall feel always
indebted to the Greek people for
having saved my father's life," he
told this correspondent.
Unfortunately, Papandreou has
never expressed his gratitude to
the Palestinian Jews, at least not
publicly. Although a Socialist,
like Peres, the Greek leader has
been cool toward Israel.
Of the Greek rescue team, two
have not been heard of since
leaving for America after the war
and another died a year ago.
Zoustis is believed the sole
survivor. Speaking to this
correspondent, he complained
bitterly that the Israel gover-
nment has failed so far to honor
the EAM the wartime Greek
underground which, he said,
saved more Jews than any other.
It was in fact, the second largest
anti-Nazi underground in
Europe, exceeded in size only by
the Yugoslavian partisans
headed by the late Marshal Tito.
Falwell Loves Us
Whether We Want Him to Or Not
By ANDREW POLIN
Jewish Floridian Staff Writer
Regardless of what Jews
think, the Rev. Jerry
Falwell says he is neither
their enemy nor a supporter
of turning America into a
Christian nation.
That was Falwell's
message when he spoke last
week before some 1,000
Conservative rabbis and
guests at the close of the
85th Rabbinical Assembly
held in Miami Beach.
Falwell even apologized for
statements he had made in the
past supporting a Christian
"We can only say we are sorry,
and we'll try to do better. We
most certainly do feel this is
a pluralistic nation. But it is not a
Christian nation, nor has it been,
and nor do we want it to be a
Christian state with a state
religion," the 51-year-old Baptist
minister said.
FALWELL TALKED about
Jewish-Christian relations at the
assembly, along with Rabbi Marc
Tanenbaum, director of in-
ternational relations of the
American Jewish Committee.
Falwell's appearance before the
assembly was marked both by
criticism from rabbis themselves
and protesters, who did not feel
the organization should give the
leader of the "Moral Majority" a
platform to speak.
Jewish youth reportedly
from Young Judaea and the
Jewish Defense League along
with a gay rights activist
protested outside the Eden Roc
Hotel while Falwell spoke. One
group which called itself
"Concerned Jewish Youth"
reportedly is a front for the JDL.
Two Jewish youths cir-
cumvented security and in-
terrupted Falwell's speech twice
chanting "Jewish youth"
before security guards removed
them, one by a chokehold. which
dismayed the audience.

Pope are (left to right) David M. Gordis,
American Jewish Committee executive vice
president; Rabbi Marc H. Tanenbaum, AJC
director of international affairs; and Howard
I. Friedman, AJC national president.
THE ATTENTION, however,
did not faze the jocular Falwell,
who joked and appeared at ease
in front of the Jewish audience
which laughed readily at his
jokes and. applauded his
statements several times.
"I sincerely love you," Falwell
stated at the beginning of his
"I have come here to tell you
that I am with you. I am for you,
whether you want me to be or
not, and that is where I will be
when I leave here whether you
want me to be or not," he said.
Falwell also stated there would
be no changing of opinions from
either side. "I did not come here
to convert you, and I assure you
that you are not going to convert
DURING HIS speech, Falwell
was emphatic about his support
for the Jewish people and Israel.
"The land belongs to the Jewish
people," Falwell said to applause.
"Israel is the best, if not the
only true friend, that America
has in that part of the world.
"Every dollar that we spend,
our tax dollar, in Israel is the best
defense dollar we spend anywhere
in the world for any purpose,"
Falwell said.
"If it were not for the Israeli
presence, the Soviets would well
now own the oil fields of the
Middle East, and we would not
be sitting in an economy that is
strong and flourishing," he said.
In his speech, Tanenbaum said
the Jewish community does not
take for granted the stalwart
support Israel receives from
millions of evangelical
Christians, both liberals and
BUT TANENBAUM said
there is a theme emerging from
an "alliance between fun-
damentalist preachers and ultra-
conservative politicians."
"There is a basic conception
which is emerging in this kind of
simplistic black and white for-
mulation," Tannembaum said,
referring to the notion that the
only way to save America form
moral decay is to return to the
days when it was "evangelical
"When you begin saying that
we need to restore America to
being a Christian nation ... so
we can return to the conditions
we were at our origins, I have to
say to you that that kind of
mythologizing is nothing less
than revisionism of American

Tanenbaum lambasted a
"Presidential Biblical
Scoreboard," which was a
publication used by a group of
fundamentalist Christians to rate
political candidates.
Although the publication
includes references to the "Judeo-
Christian" ethic, Tanenbaum
said it is used cosmetically.
Instead, the publication refers
to political leaders, who are not
true Christians, as the "amoral in
"It seems to me there must be
another way to describe people
that disagree with you as
amoral," Tanenbaum said.

Israel that had made a "national
issue" out of the dispute.
"Let them send it to the ar-

problem," the Egyptian leader
said. An agreement concluded on
the eve of Israel's withdrawal
from the Sinai stipulates that the
dispute will be settled by ar-
bitration if an attempt at
negotiations and conciliation fail.
MUBARAK HAD been on the
defensive in Congress over the
absence of Egypt's Ambassador
to Israel. Congressional leaders
produced a number of letters and
proposed House resolutions
calling on Egypt to improve its

Mubarak insisted that public
opinion in Egypt had forced him
to remove the ambassador
following the massacre of
Palestinians at the Sabra and
Shatila refugee camps in Sep-
tember, 1982, but that this was
no more than a gesture of protest.

A successful and exciting
"Trivia Night" was recently
hosted by the Contemporaries of
Temple Beth El. The Social Hall
was transformed by the hues of
the Trivial Pursuit Game Board
into an imaginative model of the
popular pastime. Colorful posters
representing various categories
lined the walls: Trivia basket
centerpieces, adorned with
helium balloons, rested on Trivia
boards; and ribbons streamed
across yellow tablecloths.
After a cocktail hour of wine
and hors d'oeuvres, guests were
seated at round tables for eight.
Photographs placed on the
centerpieces designated the team
names after famous geniuses
such as Albert Einstein and
Marie Curie.
Trivia was played "Con-
temporary Style" with team
tables competing against each
other. Valuable prizes, donated
by local merchants, were awarded
to the four highest scoring teams.
Ethan Schlesser at the piano
provided a wide variety of music
to suit the moods of the evening.
The proceeds of "Trivia Night"
will be used for a Summer Camp
Scholarship Fund and to help the
Contemporaries in their ac-
tivities. Hardworking members
whose efforts contributed to this
spectacular event were Maxine

By RABBI NATHAN H. FISH
What is the purpose of ritual? What need is there for ritual in
a world which is becoming more mechanical, techonological and
Judaism tells us that there are three dimensions to
meaningful living: the physical, social, and spiritual, and that
the three are inseparable. One-dimensional or two-dimensional
lives are only partial lives; they are flat and incomplete. It is the
third dimension the spiritual which is often the most
neglected. And it is precisely this dimension that elevates man
to his full humanity, that gives meaning to the Biblical
statement that man is created in the image of G-d.
Ritual thus becomes man's expression of the divinity within
him, of his partnership with G-d.
Ritual gives sanctity to life, therefore every aspect of Jewish
life, from the moment one opens his eyes to the time he retires at
night is accompanied by ritual. The cycle of life, from birth to
death, is marked by ritual and ceremonial. The newborn male-
child is admitted into the divine covenant through the B'rith,
the girl is given a Hebrew name in the synagogue. These rituals
commit the child to a life of sanctity and dedication to noble
purposes. The final day at school was traditionally observed
with special ceremonies intended to show the child the beauty of
knowledge and the sweetness of the word G-d. The transition
from childhood to young adulthood is celebrated with the Bar-
Bat Mitzvah and the Confirmation. These ceremonies admit the
youngsters into the adult community and place upon them the
burden of moral and ethical responsibility. The wedding
ceremony is called Kiddushin, which means sanctification, or
mutual consecration. It is the sacred foundation upon which the
future home is to be built. The end of the life cycle, too, is
marked by rituals which bid us to accept the reality of death as
part of the Divine plan, and to affirm our belief in the
deathlessness of the human soul.
Ritual sanctifies time, the Sabbath and the holidays are great
mountain peaks in time. We ascend those mountains and survey
the panorama of our lives and evaluate the degree to which we
honor our obligations as a part of a Kingdom of priests, as a holy
nation: The Sabbath, when properly observed, is a rehearsal for
the ideal world which we hope someday to achieve. The beautiful
Passover rituals are annual reminders of the joy and sweetness
of human freedom; that G-d is on the side of the freedom loving
masses and against the tyrants who would rob mankind of its
inalienable rights. The High Holidays bid us to take spiritual
stock of our lives each year and to put our human balance in
Ritual does one more thing: it brings poetry into our lives.
Is there need for ritual today? Perhaps more than ever before
in man's history. In our constant reaching for outer space, ritual
serves as a reminder that there is yet a vast domain in the
universe which remains unexplored and unconquered inner
space. Man's dominion over that space is the sine qua non for
the ideal world towards which we are striving.

Direct Talks Needed
Or There'll Be No Peace Progress
(JTA) American Jewish
leaders last week told
President Hosni Mubarak
of Egypt that "no possible
progress toward peace"
could be made in the
Middle East unless Israel
were involved in direct
talks with its Arab neigh-
Mubarak was urged "to
demonstrate to his fellow Arab
leaders the advantages of peace
with Israel by giving genuine
content to that peace by
returning his Ambassador to
Israel and by fulfilling the
commitment to trade, tourism
and cultural exchanges contained
in the treaty between Egypt and
"Only if the Arab world
recognizes that peace with Israel
can bring political and economic
dividends will the circle of peace
grow wider," said Kenneth
Bialkin, chairman of the Con-
ference of Presidents of Major
American Jewish Organizations.

Furor Over Zundel Trial
Still Boils at Toronto Rally
By BEN KAYFETZ
The furor and controversy
that surrounded the just
concluded eight-week trial
of Ernst Zundel, found
guilty of deliberately
publishing lies about the
Holocaust, has not sub-
sided, as evidenced by a
huge rally last Sunday at
the O'Keefe Center here.
The rally, attended by some
5,000 persons, was to remind
Canadians of the realities of the
Holocaust. It included a call by
David Rotenberg, a Cabinet
member of the Ontario gover-
nment, urging that Zundel be
deported for his crimes.
Zundel was found guilty by a
12-person jury of publishing false
information likely to cause racial
or social intolerance. He
published '"Did Six Million
Really Die?" which claims the
Holocaust a hoax perpetrated by
Zionists to extort reparations
from West Germany.
Irving Abella. professor at
York University and author of
"None Is Too Many.*' received
local cheers when he assailed the
media for its coverage of the
Zundel trial. He said the media
"fell into a trap by emphasizing
counter Holocaust testimony and
downplaying evidence affirming
it" despite the anguish caused to
Jews and survivors by the trial.
He said Jews were thankful the
jury sent a message that "there
will be no more free rides for
The rally was organized by the
Canadian Jewish Congress, B'nai
B'rith Canada and North

Network and co-sponsored by
more than a dozen Christian
churches and labor groups.

long meeting with the Egyptian
leader at the Machaon Hotel.
Mubarak last week began a three
day official visit to Washington
which included meetings with
President Reagan and other
senior Administration officials.
Bialkin, addressing reporters
after the meeting, described as
spirited and friendly," said the
Egyptian leader repeated his
commitment to peace with Israel
and voiced confidence that
progress would be made in three
areas so that he could return his
Ambassador to Israel and
promote trade and tourism with
The tree areas referred to by
Mubarak were: a complete Israeli
withdrawal from south Lebanon;
some movement on the
Palestinian problem; and a
resolution of the dispute over

claimed by both Egypt and
Mubarak, according to Bialkin,
expressed satisfaction at Israel's
decision to withdraw from
Lebanon and understanding that
the Palestinian issue posed great
difficulties for any Israeli
BUT BIALKIN reported that
Mubarak appeared troubled by
the lingering dispute over Taba.
Mubarak said that Egyptian
public opinion was not yet ready
for the return of its Ambassador
to Israel, withdrawn following
the massacre of Palestinians at
the Sabra and Shatila refugee
camps in September, 1982.
In turn, the Jewish leaders
urged Mubarak to "exercise
genuine leadership" by helping to
mold public opinion in his
country to understand the ad-
vantages of normal relations with
Mubarak insisted that the
absence of the Egyptian envoy
from Israel did not mean an
absence of contact and dialogue
with the Jewish State, Bialkin
reported. "Mubarak expressed
confidence that his envoy to
Israel would be returned and that
trade, tourism and cultural
exchanges would follow," said
Bialkin, adding, "He kept telling
us to 'be patient,' and he repeated
that Egypt 'respects its com-
mitments to Israel 100 percent,'
and never thinks of going back on
the peace treaty."
