Right from our childhood's days, we accept been accomplished abounding things, but sex absolutely is the atomic accomplished of all. Due to abridgement of able acclimatization appear the subject, it has been kept in the aphotic valleys of secrets not discussed and, like all things kept in such secrecy, it is apprenticed to explode. Sex is a vertical force that has the adeptness to either abide the apple or abort it. In the hope, therefore, of absolute the amazing use to which man can put this artistic energy, I shall cartel to acknowledge some of its secrets. On this subject, acumen has continued been collapsed and argumentation dumped in the best aegis prisons.
The accountable of sex is still buried in taboos, innuendos and blasphemy that if it seeks to breach free, it becomes vulgar. But just what is sex?
Sex is the antecedent of activity of activity and creation. The age-old activity of the conception came as a aftereffect of movements in the artistic darkness. The bible describes it as the advancing out of the light. The Let there be Ablaze command in Genesis is the sex play of the airy ablaze with the artistic darkness.
Sex is the age-old activity of the universe. If the bible states that you are admirable and appallingly fabricated (Psalm 139:14), it aswell acknowledging what abundant abstruseness the abundant organs and their angelic bold that brought you into getting are. Sex is the aperture to your existence. Just brainstorm what happened on the day of conception. Millions of your father's sperms sprouted alternating into getting and like aggressive soldiers raced through aphotic corridors, aggressive every abundance acme accessible and bottomward the centermost valleys, surmounting every obstacle, in a atrocious seek for the angelic abstruseness buried in angelic egg.
They begin it but alone one of the adventuresome soldiers of spermatozoa could be accustomed to enter; and if it did, the blow stood back, none abroad accustomed to enter, accurate choruses of hallelujah in account of their associate who had astral their mission m\by advertent the abstruse egg. What atomic moment but automatically exact surgical calmly of nature, saw to the accomplishment of your physique which, at the appointed time, came alternating abounding of artistic intelligence. What a abstruse getting you are; but now, attending aback and cartel not baffle those angelic fountains of your being. Attending aloft it with account and, if you will appoint in this act, absolve branch that force that brought you into being.
Sex is the activity of activity ceaselessly gluttonous to accurate itself. It is the alluring allure of the macho and changeable and the artistic adventitious of conception – the ball of the Spirit and Nature. The sex activity is explosive; it can accompany amore to your abode or bake it. Any attack to abolish it raises its burden and appropriately heightens the risks of its explosion. If admired as forbidden, sex becomes added seductive. 'By alone a absent-minded glance', a sex-backed advert can advertise any artefact for you with best profits. All you charge to do is to blush any artefact with a animal allusion and the apple will crave for it.
When sex becomes a taboo, it becomes angrily attractive. Abolish sex and you are aperture the doors of this angelic aliment to boorishness and chicanery of all sorts.
The added it lives in darkness, the added adulterated and angry it becomes. And if our antecedent becomes evil, we face the crisis of acute pettiness in the advice action constitutes a breach in relationships. Sex-unity is the accord of society; its abrasion or abuse is the abashment and decline of association and the apple community.
Uncontrolled sex, on the added hand, after-effects in the abuse of the angelic ritual sex and succeeds in authoritative it a absurd act performed for its own sake. This has alarmingly created exhaustion yet to ample in abounding lives. Unrestrained sex able has led to chicanery and, if no able advice is fabricated available, will abort the asceticism of our antecedent of creation.
Sexual activity is the temple of life. It accept to be abandoned of answerability or repression. It accept to amuse the affection and boost the physique to visions of immeasurable possibilities.
Your physique is the temple of the active God, accordingly account it and, in the sex act, admit that you are affianced in the angelic rite that after-effects in catholic unity. You abound from the appropriate and angelic abutment with you accomplice into the abutment with all of life. Adulation is acceptable and courting is God-making and, of course, you are with the appropriate mind, it produces acceptable bloom and a faculty of airy able-bodied being. But sex accept to be the bottle of alone complete and amenable partners.
Remember that your present apotheosis is animal in origin. Sex is angelic and accept to be accepted as such to accomplish it a abating and soul-lifting experience.
This is an breadth of abundant problems in abounding lives. It is amenable for abounding depression, certifiable problems and failures. Animal injuries are abysmal because they are banned from getting discussed. There are some areas of your sex activity you abhorrence to altercate for the abhorrence that others will anticipate you are vulgar, so you accumulate your pains to yourself. Why do abounding girls debris to scream for advice even if they are getting raped? They abhorrence humans will anticipate they are 'bad' or that they led the men into the act. They will rather use aged strengths to action the defacer and, if exhausted, lie there with a faculty of answerability and abashment while the defacer cool with achievement at his onslaught.
Which of the afterward best declared you?
(i) I'm afraid, absolutely abashed to love. Yes/No
(ii) I'm abashed my alliance will be like that of my parents Yes/No
(iii) I feel trapped Yes/No
(iv) All my adulation diplomacy don't endure Yes/No
(v) I'm abashed to adulation for abhorrence of getting alone at the end Yes/No
(vi) I just don't consistently there just to aching me Yes/No
(vii) Adulation is consistently there just to aching me Yes/No
(viii) I'm not acceptable abundant to adulation or to be admired Yes/No
(ix) Nobody will adulation or acknowledge me Yes/No
(x) To adulation is to be a bondservant to added getting and do aggregate his or her way Yes/No
(xi) I'm actual anxious Yes/No
(xii) I abhorrence to adulation because I'll be controlled Yes/No
(xiii) I abhorrence t adulation because I'll adulation my ability Yes/Not
To get out of all these traps, yield a attending at how you accustomed admired if you were a child. It is a lot of acceptable that you are alone accomplishing to yourself what others accept done to you. If you accept been loved, you will adulation yourself and apperceive how to adulation others; if you were not admired adequately, you will be amiss in admiring as able-bodied as accepting love.
As you were advised in the past, so you are alleviative yourself at present. Close your eyes and run your thoughts through the agency in which adulation has accomplished you all forth and you will see why you are accomplishing amends to the afire frees of adulation in your being. You will artlessly let go as you bethink anniversary adventure until you access at a effective learning. Aggregate that happened to you was life's way of aesthetic your God admiral and appropriation them to a acme of your potentials. They were opportunities to adept and authenticate patience, adulation and animation of spirit. Freeing yourself in this additional aeon drive frees a amazing bulk of your analytic activity for added effective uses. Observe carefully anyone who feels that humans don't adulation themselves. You don't adulation yourself because you either did not accept the adulation you accepted to appear your way as a adolescent or you were abused, abashed or ridiculed. These armament actualize a faculty of self-dejection.
If you accept been in relationships that accept concluded at the present time, again do yourself the one abundant acceptable to assay all accomplished relationships and how they ended.
How did your accomplished relationships end? List all your relationships, starting from the aboriginal getting that abreast your virginity or chastity, through to the actual endure accord that concluded recently. Add added curve breadth all-important and re-live any of the incidents, browse briefly how it started.
Your activity becomes afflicted as you activity analytic admiral outwards. Like a radio-transmitting -and – accepting station, we are already communicating with our environment. What we are inside, whether announced or unspoken, is aimlessly acquainted outside. Often, humans go into relationships with the aching pictures of accomplished relationships. You accomplished relationships stared from adolescence relationships with parents, aunts, uncles etc. accept a quick analysis on the afterward and address your comments.
Is your admired or not admired bang-up like one of your acceptable or bad ancestors members.
Another breadth of problems with sex and relationships are the decisions we accomplish about these two forces. Accept to all macho and changeable relationships end with sex?
Should sex with any getting beggarly a alliance or commitment? Sex is for two complete and amenable persons. The words actuality are complete and responsible. If you adjudge that sex is according to marriage, every sex that does not end in alliance is accessible to bottomless pain. Sex is airy and accept to be accepted as the animating of our adherence and the administration of our artistic energies. You accept to again accept sex with just the getting who attracts and stimulates in you the centermost of respect, faculty of responsibility, adherence and love. It does not absolutely amount if you are affiliated or not. This does not advocated promiscuity.
When sex is accepted for what it is, as a all-powerful and airy energy, it will never become a playing. No one will bandy his or her jewels to the swine, your decisions appear from your acceptance system, and your acceptance arrangement designs and creates your world. It is, therefore, important that you browse yourself and your acceptance systems.
Most of your behavior are adopted from added people. By alive who allotment your belief, you will apperceive the antecedent of your belief. How arguable is the acceptance to the present time? How benign is the acceptance to you? As you assay and claiming your acceptance system, you will accessible your close doors of appropriate discernment.
Seeking allusive relationships
When sex becomes a allotment of a relationship, the accord instantly becomes a admiring one and a commemoration of God discovery. Any one gluttonous a allusive accord with God accept to abandoned himself of all concepts except the admiration to acquaintance God. In abounding accord that absorb sex, as in marriages today, this one a lot of important claim is missing. We go to alliance with our accoutrements of concepts and expectations affiliated from our families, accompany and accomplished relationships.
These become the accepted laws of the sex activity as able-bodied as the accounting laws of the relationship. What is apprenticed to appear to this angelic accord if anniversary affair has carries his or her role archetypal and heroes, fantasies and anxieties into it can able-bodied be imagined. And if these are fabricated circuitous by the apprehension of your partner, you lose track. Absent to your own self, you are absent to your accomplice and appropriate from the alpha the accord is bedevilled to abort or, at best, become affliction With our endless like sheath of apparel about us, we abort to be naked, and yet after our nakedness, there is no adulation and after adulation there will be no lovemaking.
The Bible, in Genesis 2:24-25, said, "To this end shall a man leave his mother and ancestor and leave to his wife and the two shall become one. And they were naked and did not feel ashamed."this agency 'to this end of getting the apotheosis of Godhood, shall a man leave his parents (past concepts of parent, uncles, lovers etc.,)'and appear into angelic abutment with his wife and both accept to become naked, cellophane and accessible to anniversary other, able of tolerating your weaknesses and delighting in the others strengths and aswell be chargeless of any inhibitions or abashment whatsoever.' You charge the adventuresomeness to let go and vulnerable. This is calmly said, but it alone becomes a absoluteness if you use.
our technology to off-load your baggage. You accept lived in families, clans, tribes and nations and your eyes is casting through the blind of your accomplished and present associations.
Civilization and its able advice technologies accept succeeded in shattering, to a abundant extent, the article of the association and its accompanying groupings, but accept aswell succeeded in bearing tensions and emptiness.
Simply assay anniversary amount you backpack and ask yourself why. A individual why and a anamnesis of the adventure that led you to accomplish that accommodation artlessly assault it out of apogee and sets you free.
In relationship, the woman commonly controls the sex and the man controls the money. In the ideal angelic relationship, there are no controls but simple responsibilities based on anniversary person's capabilities. In adulation making, there are no losers anniversary accomplice is a winner. But in sex making, anniversary accomplice is a loser.

Does the Lumivision DVD supplement contain a still photo of the original Doyle on-screen appearance in the film? Is this photo available online? If not, can you describe what the photo looks like? The new Flicker Alley Blu-ray does not have this photo in its supplement, unfortunately.Saint-Just wrote:Even apart from the cost I can't get excited about this - the stop motion is the star, the rest is pretty middling stuff, and Lloyd Hughes must be the blandest leading man of the entire silent era. When I had the Lumivision DVD I watched the extras far more than the feature; I have the Image version now and couldn't even tell you the last time I looked at any of it.
For those who don't know, the Doyle appearance on the Blu-ray's opening scene is not the original footage. The original Doyle footage of him sitting at his desk reading a poem has been lost. But a still photo of the footage survives, and is included in the Lumivision DVD. David Shepard's 2000 restoration also has the unoriginal Doyle opening.

Palestinians Lose on Appeal
By GIL SEDAN
Israel's supreme court
rejected an appeal by a Pales-
tinian activist under adminis-
trative detention, foiling
another attempt to use Israel's
legal system to counter
security measures.
The High Court of Justice
ruled against Feisal al-
Husseini, 48, who was
detained a month ago under an
administrative arrest order,
after being identified by the
authorities as a key leader of
Al Fatah in Jerusalem. Fatah
is the military arm of the
Palestine Liberation Organiza-
tion controlled by Yasir
Husseini demanded that he
be allowed to view a secret file
in his case, saying that he was
unable to present a defense as
long as he was unclear about
the charges against him. He
also asked that the legal
proceedings be held openly,
and not "in camera," as has
been the practice until now.
But the court rejected both
appeals, citing "security
The court then met to review
a separate appeal against the
six-month detention itself, the
third Husseini has been under
in 18 months. The court has
not issued its decision, but it
has never annulled an order of
administrative arrest.
Administrative detention
orders have become one of the
major tools in the authorities'
attempts to curb the Pales-
tinian uprising. Since the
beginning of the unrest, more
than 3,000 Palestinians have
been put in detention camps
without trial.
Administrative detainees
have limited means to chal-
lenge the arrest orders, short
of appealing to the High
Court. Each arrest order must
be approved by a military
judge, and in very few cases
have the judges reversed
Likewise, Palestinians who
received deportation orders
have been reluctant to work
within the Israeli legal system,
arguing that it is biased
against them.
Only recently, with the mass

25 Palestinians, did this tactic
change. Earlier, lawyers on
behalf of the 25 vowed to press

A Vacation For Everyone
Israel is a nation of exciting
contrasts from the historic
Old City of Jerusalem to the
bustling metropolis of Tel
Aviv. There is an equally
contrasting assortment of
vacation options in Israel
from the elegant hotels of Tel
Aviv to the sun-splashed
resorts of Eilat, to the kibbutz
hotels of the Galilee. Yet,
perhaps the most appealing
quality of vacationing in Israel
is that one need not go far in
any direction to enjoy it all. All
that Israel has to offer is
"Carmelit" Subway takes visi-
tors up Mt. Carmel to the
Carmel Center where many of
its hotels and outdoor restau-
rants are located. The Carmel
Center is also the site of some
of Israel's most beautiful
homes. The most memorable
site for visitors to the Carmel
Center is a magnificent birds-
eye view of the city.
Eilat, Israel's southern most
community is an arena for sun,
watersports and sightseeing.
It is home to some of the most
bustling street corner in Jerusalem.
within a radius of 8,108 square
miles roughly the size of the
state of New Jersey.
Tel Aviv, best described as
Israel's pulsating center, is the
economic and cultural capital
of Israel. What was merely
desolate sand-dunes less than
a century ago is now a thriving
city humming with activity.
While Tel Aviv is cosmopol-
itan, it is also Israel's Mediter-
ranean metropolis offering
visitors a long stretch of beach
and the breathtaking coastline
of the Mediterranean sea.
Tel Aviv is known as the
"biggest little city" in the
world as visitors are able to
enjoy a wide range of activities
including sports, shopping,
arts, music, dining, nightlife
and a temperate climate year-
Tel Aviv was merged with
the city of Jaffa in 1950 and is
now officially referred to as
Tel Aviv-Jaffa. Jaffa, one of
the world's most ancient ports,
is now the home of an artists
colony, art galleries, crafts
shops, restaurants and night
clubs. For many, Jaffa is the
place to experience Israel's
vibrant nightlife. The year-
round comfortable climate and
informal atmosphere makes it
an ideal place for people to get
away from it all without
forfeiting the comforts of
About 50 miles further north
is the city of Haifa a village
that at the time of its destruc-
tion in the mid-18th century
had less than 250 inhabitants.
Today it is Israel's third
largest city, home to two
major universities the Tech-
nion and Haifa University.
The name Haifa translates
into a Hebrew contraction
Hof Yafe or beautiful coast.
Haifa is not only known for its
majestic beauty as it is also a
world-renowned high-
technology center.
Haifa also boasts Israel's
only subway which operates on
the same principal as San
Francisco's cable cars. The
breathtaking coral reefs in all
the world and, one of Eilat's
most popular attractions

Observatory will allow visi-
tors a close-up look. The
Observatory is set into the reef
itself. Visitors descend down a
spiral staircase and emerge in
a circular room with windows
facing out into the coral reef.
Sea, sand and sun are not the
only year-round attractions in
Eliat there is also birdwat-
ching, a wildlife reserve the
Hai Bar, and horseback riding
at the Kibbutz Ketura.
Many of the reasons for
experiencing Israel first-hand
are evident in the capital city
of Jerusalem. One of the most
ancient cities in the world, the
Old City of Jerusalem is enor-
mously rewarding for any
visitor. Sitting apart from the
rest of the city, on a hill over-
looking a steep valley, Old
Jerusalem today has four
sections: the Jewish Quarter;
the Christian Quarter; the
Armenian Quarter and the
Moslem Quarter.
Jersualem's most commem-
orative sites include the
Western Wall, the Dome of the
Rock and the Holy Sepulchre.
The Western Wall or the
Wailing Wall is the holiest
shrine of the Jewish world, the
Holy Sepulchre the most
sacred site in all Christendom
and the Dome of the Rock one
of the most commemorative
Muslim monuments.
Israel is a place for visitors
from all countries and of all
faiths. From Bedouin camps in
the desert to five-star hotels in
Haifa, Israel offers an
astounding journey through
the old and new, the past and
present. This intermingle of
cultures offers an adventure
that must be experienced by
all. For further information on

The Great Divide:
On the Nature of God
By ROBERT SANDLER
There are many issues and
problems in Jewish life today
about which Jews disagree
with one another. It would be
oversimplistic to say that
differences and disagreements
among Jews exist only along
the lines that separate the
organizational branches of
Orthodox, Conservative,
Reform, and Reconstructionist
Judaism, or that separate
secular Jews from religious
Jews. It is very likely that
many Jews, even within the
same organizational branch,
would disagree with one
another on certain issues or
The word, the idea, the
essence of God, the as yet
unknown perhaps unknow-
able "original creative
energy," or "force," or
"power" in the universe offers
an excellent and very
important case in point of an
issue about which many Jews
It would seem to be desirable
for all Jews to understand that
whenever they use or discuss
or read the word God, they are
very likely not thinking the
same thoughts about what that
have the power in some way
that is not comprehensible in
rational human terms to
control all natural and human
events on the planet Earth or
anywhere in the cosmos. Some
Jews believe, as it is written in
the Torah, that the creative
power in the entire universe
God not only spoke to Moses
3,300 years ago in Egypt and
in the Sinai Desert but that He
had spoken regularly with
Adam and with Abraham and
with many others... from
space... somehow. Some Jews
believe that the universal
creator, God, actually revealed
Himself to Moses at Sinai and
that He chose the Israelites to
be His special people.
Some Jews believe in a God
of all creation who either
caused, or at least allowed, the
Holocaust to happen... for
whatever reason. Many other
Jews, however, do not believe
in a God who has the power to
have caused such a barbarous
occurrence as the Holocaust or
to have prevented it.
Eight hundred years ago, in
his Mishne Torah, Maimonides
wrote that "the Holy One,
blessed be he, is incorporeal."
He goes on to ask, rhetorically,
"Isaac and Jacob did not base their views
on the searching of Abraham; they
themselves searched for God in their own
word God, signifies. In
Judaism, there is no explicit,
universally-accepted concept,
essence, or idea of God. In
Judaism, there is certainly no
physical definition or charac-
teristic of God. Furthermore,
in Judaism, there is no
authority that is endowed and
empowered by Jews to make
any explicit official pronounce-
ment about the precise nature
of God. That being the case, it
behooves every Jew to think
for himself and then to
acknowledge and respect the
validity of thoughts and beliefs
relating to the term, or idea, of
God. The only caveat is that,
for Jews, ideas and beliefs
about God cannot refute, nor
conflict with, the idea of a
monotheistic, non-corporeal,
meaningful creative energy or
power in the universe.
Some Jews believe that a
monotheistic, non-corporeal
God a supernatural being of
some sort may actually be
able to hear human prayers in
various human languages.
Some Jews probably believe
that a monotheistic, non-
corporeal God may actually
"Since this is so, what is the
meaning of the expressions
found in the Torah: "Beneath
his feet"; "written with the
finger of God"; "The hand of
God"; "The eyes of God";
"The ears of God", and similar
phrases?" Maimonides
explains these phrases by
explicitly asserting that "All
such terminology is adapted to
the conception of the sons of
man who have a clear percep-
tion of corporeal things only.
The Torah," the Rambam
States, "speaks in the
language of men. All these
phrases are metaphorical...
and figurative."
Even Maimonides, like the
late theologian and philo-
sopher, Mordecai Kaplan, and
like many other thinking Jews,
past and present, did not
believe in a God, a deity, the
creator of the cosmos, as some
sort of personal omnipotent
being, who had a human-like
will and intelligence, and who,
at His whim, is able to cause
good or evil to occur in nature
or in human life. Maimonides
understood the metaphoric
language of the Biblical
About 250 years ago,
someone once asked Israel Ben
Eliezer, the Baal Shem Tov,
why we say, in the siddur,
"God of Abraham, God of
Isaac, and God of Jacob" and
not simply, "God of Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob." What the
original writer intended when
he wrote that passage many
centuries earlier we can never
know. For his part, however,
the Baal Shem Tov wanted to
make a particular point when
he responded that "Isaac and
Jacob did not base their views
on the searching of Abraham;
they themselves searched for
God in their own way.'
Jewish writers and scholars
throughout Jewish
history had, of course,
provided the Baal Shem Tov
with ample precedence upon
which to make the point that
each generation must do its
own creative thinking even
about the "idea" of God.
Somewhere in the writing of
our sages there is a story about
a discussion in which several
scholars were attempting to
describe the actual nature of
God. The leader of the group
might have posed the
following question: since we
attribute so much meaning and
importance to God, who, or
what, exactly, are we talking
about? As the story goes, a
long and lively discussion
followed in which almost ever-
yone participated.
One of the men did not
participate, although he
listened very intently to the
various comments of his

After some time, when it
became evident that neither
general agreement nor any
conclusive resolution of this
vexing subject could be
reached, a momentary silence
descended upon the group.

turned to him and asked,

responded politely but with
conviction, "If you want to

would say, 'Let them spend

dose of tolerance as we become
aware that many of mankind's

wrestled strenuously with this
"idea of God" and have
reached a variety of different
conclusions. Even in such a
frustrating situation, however,
we are admonished to fulfill
our human responsibilities
with compassion for our fellow
human beings and with
respect for those whose ideas
about the "nature of God" may
be different from our own.

Polls Give Labor
Edge Over Likud
By HUGH ORGEL
TEL AVIV (JTA) The
Labor Alignment has a slight
edge over the Likud bloc,
according to new polls
conducted by the parties, but
would not win enough votes to
form a government on its own,
if elections were held today.
The Likud poll, conducted by
the Dahaf organization, gives
Labor 42 seats in the 120-seat
Knesset versus 40 for Likud.
Labor's own poll, conducted by
the Dessima organization, puts
the breakdown at 43 seats for
Labor and 38 for Likud.
Likud conducted its poll
among 1,175 Israeli Jews from
Aug. 7 to 14. Labor polled
i'50!3 Jews and 1-200 Israeli
Arabs during the first half of
August. The results of both
surveys were published in the
daily Yediot Achronot.
Labor's polling found that
the party is likely to lose 40
percent of the backing it has
received from Arabs in
previous years, Haaretz
The poll found Labor
earning only 19 percent of the
Arab vote, down 10 percen-
tage points from previous elec-
tions. The Hadash Communist
party and the Progressive List
for Peace together polled 54
percent of the Arab vote,
Knesset member Abd-el
Wahab Darousha's new party
six percent, the Citizens
Rights Movement (CRM) 5.5
percent, Likud 5.5 percent and
Mapam 2.5 percent.
Meanwhile, a poll conducted
by the East Jerusalem weekly
Al-Biadir A-Siyasi among 500
Arabs living in the Jerusalem
area found that only 6 percent
intend to participate in the
Jerusalem municipal elections
next February. The poll also
found that only 15 percent of
the respondents support the
re-election of Mayor Teddy
On Yom Kippur:
Yizkor, A Prayer For Remembrance
Friday, September 16, 1988/The Jewish Floridian of Palm Beach County Page 5
By Dvora Waysman
The Day of Atonement is the
most awesome of the Hebrew
calendar. From sunset to
sunset, Jews pray and abstain
from food and drink, until the
blast of the shofar, the ram's
horn, announces that the
Scrolls have been shut for
another year. By then it will
have been decided who will live
and who will die, who will wax
rich and who will be poor, who
will rise in the world and who
will be brought low, who will
live in peace and who will not.
There are many impressive
prayers included in the Yom
Kippur ritual, but there is one
that is unique. About half-way
THE SOUND of weeping
can be heard from some parts
of the synagogue, and people
rock back and forth intoning
the Yizkor prayer in memory
of close relatives who are no
longer with them. The prayer
book calls this the "Memorial
of the Departed," but the
literal translation of Yizkor is
"he shall remember." This
special prayer is said on only
three other occasions during
the year Shemini Atzeret
(the last day of Sukkot), the last
day of Passover and on
Excessive mourning is not
part of the Jewish tradition,
which is perhaps why the

through the morning service, Yizkor prayer is said rarely. It
after the reading of the Law, is written in Jeremiah 22:10:
you will notice that the syna-
gogue is suddenly filled to
capacity particularly the
women's gallery, which
usually has vacant seats here
and there during the
long day's ritual.
SUDDENLY, not only is
every seat filled, but people
are standing in every space at
the back and between the
aisles, as with a single thump
on the Bima a voice announces
one word, Yizkor.
"Weep ye not in excess for the
dead, neither bemoan them."
But on Yom Kippur it is
permitted to give vent to one's
true feelings of despair and
loss as one recalls beloved
parents, brothers and sisters,
children, husbands or wives,
who once added a dimension of
joy to our lives but are no
longer with us.
IT IS believed that the
custom of Yizkor dates back to
the Hasmonean wars

(165 BCE) when Judah the
Maccabee and his men prayed
for the souls of their fallen
comrades and brought offer-
ings to the Temple in
Jersualem as atonement for
the sins of the dead. Today, it
has become a custom to donate
charity on behalf of loved ones
so that their souls may enjoy
eternal life. Historically,
Yizkor gained in significance
through the Crusades and
severe persecutions that took
place in Eastern Europe
during the 17th Century when
thousands of Jews died as
martyrs. They were all
inscribed in the death rolls
yizkor-bukh of their communi-
ties and commemorated in
memorial prayers on the four
annual occasions to which we
still adhere today. In time, the
death rolls included not only
the names of martyrs, but
other members of the
community and the custom of
Yizkor evolved.
The prayer is not only heart-
rending, but serves to remind
us of how short a time we are
on earth. Before we ask for
remembrance of the souls of
loved ones, we recite the

Relic From First Temple Goes On Display In Israel
By HUGH ORGEL
TEL AVIV (JTA)-A small
ivory pomegranate verified to
be the first known relic from
the First Temple has gone on
display at the Israel Museum.
The thumb-sized pome-
granate a rimon clearly
bears the inscription
"Belonging to the Temple of
the Lord, Holy to the Priests."
The rimon, which was
The 2,800-year-old object is
badly chipped on one side. The
validating inscription is
written in ancient Hebrew in
completely legible script. It is
believed to be the oldest
known inscription with the
Hebrew name of God.
The only other relic of the
First Temple is said to be
silver scrolls bearing the bene-
diction of the Kohanim, the
high priests. The scrolls were
recently found in a burial cave
overlooking Jerusalem's
Hinnom Valley, outside the
Old City.
The rimon is believed to be
at least 100 years older.
The ivory pomegranate's
acquisition by the Israel
Museum marks the end of an
international journey that
began nine years ago, when
the rimon was bought in Israel
by an unknown party and
smuggled out of the country.
The buyer in turn sold the
object to an anonymous party
in Switzerland, who bought it
for the museum.
An Israeli archaeologist
examined the rimon in Swit-
zerland and verified its authen-
Israeli newspapers soecu
lated that the rimon might
have been purchased bv an
Israeli for a few hundred
dollars from a local dealer and
smuggled to Europe, where it
was placed on display in
France. The object's value was
estimated when the exhibition
curator sought advice for
insurance purposes.

The rimon may have topped

down in Exodus and Kings I.
Rimonim were also used to
adorn the high priests' robes.

TEL AVIV (JTA) Two
cases of polio, in a 26-year-old
woman and a baby, have been
diagnosed in Israel.
Both are from the town of Or
Akiva, near Caesarea.
The outbreak is reportedly
the highest incidence of infan-
tile paralysis to be found in one
place within a short time in
many years. Health Ministry
sources said that one or two,
but no more than four, cases of
polio are still found in Israel
each year.
Otherwise, the disease has
been virtually wiped out in
Israel as well as throughout
the Western world.

By HOWARD ROSENBERG
President Reagan will likely
attend the U.S. Holocaust
Museum's Oct. 5 cornerstone-
laying ceremony, U.S. Holo-
caust Memorial Council
sources told the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency.
The ceremony has been
scheduled because the Depart-
ment of Interior earlier this
month approved the design
specifications for the museum,
which is scheduled to open
here in 1990.
"This was the final license
we needed" before construc-
tion could begin, explained
William Lowenberg, vice
chairman of the council.
An informed source at the
memorial council said that
there is a "superb possibility"
that President Reagan will
attend the cornerstone cere-
mony, although it is not final.
roofan attended an October
1985 preliminary ground-
breaking ceremony.
Lowenberg said that $60
million of the museum's $140

been raised so far. Money is
being raised for the museum
itself as well as for "perpetual
endowment funds" to main-
tain the building and staffing.

related and were never in
contact. The adult patient is an
immigrant born abroad.
The Health Ministry has
already begun vaccinations for
all residents, workers and visi-
tors to Or Akiva.
All children from birth up to
age 18 are to be given oral
vaccinations at special centers
set up in schools, infant care
clinics and community centers.
Adults between the ages of
18 and 40 will receive booster
injection shots.
Or Akiva officials said the
outbreak could probably be
traced to a sewage farm some
miles north of the town.

U.N. Chief Urges Organizations To Pressure Israel To Negotiate
By TAMAR LEVY
GENEVA (JTA) The
secretary-general of the
United Nations has called on
non-governmental organiza-
tions to exert international
pressure on Israel to "promote
an effective negotiating
process and to help create the
conditions necessary for it to
Javier Perez de Cuellar also
recommended that the inter-
national community make a
concerted effort to persuade
Israel to accept the applica-
bility of the Fourth Geneva
Convention of 1949 to the
administered territories.
The convention prohibits the
expulsion "for any reasons
whatsoever" of civilians from
an area under military occupa-
tion. Israel insists that the
convention does not apply to
the territories, since it has not
extended Israeli law to the
areas it administers.
Perez de Cuellar was
addressing the fifth interna-
tional meeting of Non-
Governmental Organizations
at UN European headquarters
The secretary-general
referred to the NGOs as a
"network of organizations"
devoted to "the achievement
of the inalienable rights of the
Palestinian people in confor-
mity with UN resolutions." He
described the NGO role as
While describing certain
measures taken to deal with
the emergency situation in the
territories, Perez de Cuellar
also strongly emphasized that
"measures to enhance the
safety and protection of the
Palestinian people in the occu-
pied territories, though
urgently needed, will neither
remove the causes of the
recent tragic events nor bring
peace to the region."
He emphasized the need for
a political settlement to the
problem, "which responds
both to the refusal of the
Palestinian population of the
territories to accept a future
under Israeli occupation and to
Israel's determination to
ensure its security and the
well-being of its people."
The secretary-general's
statement followed by two
days his meeting with Yasir
Arafat, the Palestine Libera-
tion Organization chairman.
Arafat told the UN leader that
establishing a Palestinian
government in exile is one of
the ideas he plans to present
next month at a meeting of the
Palestine National Council in
During the meeting of the
NGOs, which has been
addressing the "question of
Palestine," PLO representa-
tives have described atrocities
allegedly carried out by Israel here.
Defense force soldiers.
Zehdi Terzi, the PLO's
permanent observer to the
United Nations, said that since
December 1987, Israeli author-
ities have brutalized his people
by burning and burying them
alive, shooting them with live
as well as rubber bullets, using
lethal gas and breaking bones.
He accused Israel of flaunting
"any of the norms of civilized
There appeared to be much
sympathy for the PLO position
Mikko Lohikoski, chairman
of the NGO coordinating
committee, said, "The mass-
based popular uprising of
Palestinian people of the West
Bank and Gaza has forcefully
demonstrated that the Pales-
tinian people, united in resist-
ence to the Israeli occupation,
is demanding a political settle-

of the right of self-
determination in the form of

Reflections on YomKippur
A Time For Self-Appraisal
By RABBI SHLOMO EZAGUI
Chabad House-Lubavitcher
On these days at the
threshold of the beginning of
the new year, may it bring
blessings to us all, we must
answer a call for self-
evaluation, in relation to the
year that has ended, and in
the light of this self-appraisal
make the necessary resolu-
tions for the coming year.
Such a "balance sheet" can
be valid only if the evaluation
of the full extent of one's
powers and opportunities was
a correct one. Only then can
one truly regret, in a commea-
surable degree, the missed
opportunities, and resolve to
utilize one's capacities to the
fullest extent from now on.
The period of time from
Rosh Hashanah to Yom
Kippur is not only the occasion
which demands spiritual stock-
taking in general, but it also
begs for a profound inner
appreciation of the tremen-
dous capacities which one
possesses as a human being
the crown of creation, and as a
Jew whom the Creator has
given His Divine Law of Life
(Toras Chayyim). For Rosh
Hashanah is the day when Man
was created.
Adam was given the power
to conquer the whole world
and to rule over it, on land, sea
and in the air, and he was
enjoined to do so; this was his
How was this "world
conquest" to be attained, and
what is the purpose and true
meaning of it? This is what our
Sages tell us and teach us in
this regard;
When G-D created Adam,
his soul his Divine image
permeated and irradiated his
whole being, by virtue of which
he became the ruler over the
entire Creation.
The "world conquest" which
was given to man as his task
and mission in life, is to elevate
the whole of Nature, including
the beasts and animals, to the
service of true humanity,
humanity permeated and illu-
minated by the Divine Image,
by the soul which is veritably a
part of G-D above, so that the
whole of Creation will realize
that G-D is our Maker.
Needless to say, before a
man sets out to conquer the
world, he must first conquer
himself, through the subjuga-
tion of the "earthly" and
"beastly" in his own nature.
This attained through actions
which strictly accord with the
directives of the Torah, the
Law of Life the practical
guide in every day living, so
that the material becomes
permeated and illuminated
with the light of the One G-D,
our G-D.
G-D created one man and on
this single person on earth He
imposed the said duty and
task. Herein lies the profound,
yet clear, directive, namely,
that one man each and every
human being is potentially
capable of "conquering the
world." If a person does not
fulfill his task, and does not
utilize his inestimable divine
powers it is not merely a
personal loss and failure, but
something that affects the
destiny of the whole world.
In these days of introspec-
tion, we are duty-bound to
reflect that each and every one
of us through carrying out
the instructions of the Creator
of the World which are
contained in His Torah has
the capacity of conquering
worlds. Everyone must there-
fore ask himself how much
have they accomplished in this
direction, and to what extent
have they failed, so that they
can make the proper resolu-
tions for the coming year.
G-D, Who looks into the
heart, on seeing the determin-
ation behind these good resolu-
tions, will send His blessing for
their realization in the fullest
measure in joy and gladness
of heart and affluence, materi-
ally and spiritually.
With the blessing KETIVA
VACHATIMA TOVA for a
happy and sweet year.

Arafat Discusses Plan With U.N. Chief, But Not The Press
By TAMAR LEVY
GENEVA (JTA) Yasir
Arafat told United Nations
Secretary-General Javier
Perez de Cuellar on Saturday
that a government in exile is
one of the ideas he plans to
& resent when the Palestine
ational Council meets this
month in Algiers.
But the Palestine Liberation
Organization chairman
appeared to be more cautious
than some of his aides in
discussing details of the plan
for statehood.
The normally publicity-
hungry Arafat surprised the
Geneva press corps by
canceling a news conference
scheduled to take place after
his 90-minute meeting with the
secretary-general. Instead of
making a public appearance,
the PLO chairman was report-
edly whisked out a back door

ZOA Operations
To Undergo
NEW YORK Milton S.
Shapiro, President, of the
Zionist Organization of
America, announced that the
ZOA would undertake a major
restructuring of its operations.

special retreats held in Dallas,
Baltimore and New York
during the past year, a Presi-
dential ad hoc study committee
The restructuring plan
involves the centralization of
communications, public affairs
programming and fund raising
support services at its national
headquarters in New York,
and the use of development
specialists and community
coordinators to direct and
support ZOA Regional and
District operations across the
"The plan evolved over
several months of reviews and
carefully considered alterna-
tives," said Shapiro. "It is
designed to improve the orga-
nizational program effective-
ness, service to its member-
ship, and reduce administra-
tive costs, through the use of
state of the art communica-
tions and the more efficient
use of key personnel in the
National office."
ZOA is an issue-oriented
educational organization
whose work toward the crea-
tion of the state of Israel and
its political support in the
United States since 1898 is
legendary. In the decades that
followed, it has been consulted
by all levels of American
government on matters of
concern to the Jewish people
and the state of Israel. It has
spawned such organizations as
AIPAC and Israel Bonds,
opened Christian-Zionist plat-
forms, opposed arm sales to
hostile Arab states.
ZOA is the foremost organi-
zation advocating Jewish unity
and challenging those who
publicly and unwisely are crit-
ical of Israel and its leaders.
Recently, it has focused the
public's attention on anti-
Israel media bias and
campaigned to close PLO
offices in Washington and

Perez de Cuellar, for his
part, made it clear that the
meeting took place at Arafat's
A statement issued by the
PLO reported that the discus-
sion focused on the secretary-
general's efforts to secure
compliance with various U.N.
declarations. Arafat expressed
concern over alleged Israeli
acts of aggression against
Palestine refugee camps and
villages in southern Lebanon.
The PLO chairman was also
said to have expressed his
organization's desire to partic-
ipate in an international peace
conference on the Middle East.
Israel has opposed PLO partic-
ipation in such a conference,
though the government is split
on whether to back a confer-
ence that would include a joint

Arafat was vague in
discussing details of PLO
plans to declare an inde-
pendent state in the West and
Gaza Strip and set up a
government in exile. He is
apparently wary of the reac-
tion of more militant factions
in the PLO, which see the idea
as an abandonment of
the PLO's armed struggle
against Israel.
The outlines of the proposal
were described in interviews
given by Bassam Abu-Sharif, a
close aide to Arafat. Sharif
told The New York Times and
the Associated Press that the
Palestine National Council
could pass a resolution, signed
by Arafat with the approval of
the various PLO factions, that
would declare a state and
recognize Israeli on the basis

Red Cross and Red Crescent rescue crews evacuated a few wounded and sick women and children from the besieged Syrian city of Homs on Feb. 24, even as Syrian government forces continued shelling parts of the city—especially the neighborhood of Baba Amr, a bastion of antigovernment sentiment. The civilian evacuations came as representatives of world powers met in Tunisia and called for a political solution in Syria, as well as what one diplomat called a "tsunami wave" of pressure that would peel away internal support for the embattled regime. Homs has now endured almost four weeks of Syrian army attacks with artillery and heavy weapons. Hundreds have been killed or wounded and neighborhoods demolished. Residents have been living in makeshift shelters and were running low on food, medical and other supplies. The Syrian opposition claims more than 8,000 people have been killed since the uprising began last March, and a U.N. report released on Feb. 23 accused the Assad regime of "crimes against humanity."
