Tunisia's Premier Mohammed
M'Zali visited the scene of the
synagogue attack in the old
Jewish quarter of Hara Srira on
Jerba. He assured the country's
Jewish community that the ad-

Bourguiba will do everything
possible to protect Jewish lives,
property and civil rights. M'Zali
blamed neighboring Libya for in-
flaming anti-Jewish passions.
He noted that since the Israeli
air raid, Libyan radio has been
calling on Tunisians to seek
revenge and "massacre all of

of people with the aim of
making them aware of what
is being done, and what
needs to be done, in order
that we stand united.
This is the philosophy of Ben-
jamin Bussin. recently appointed
once again to chair the Family
Division by Marianne Bobick,
president of the South County
Jewish Federation.
Ben is proud of the
achievements of the Family Divi-
sion last year, when it raised some
$500,000 for local community
needs, international needs and for
Israel (including Operation
Moses). However, he is convinced
that many more people should be
involved, and the goal this year
should be an increase of 25 per-
cent. This, he says, will be achiev-
ed by reaching out to more people,
making them aware of what is go-
ing on, and helping them to
become integrated in the com-
munity theme "INTO THE 21st
It will also be achieved by work-
ing even more closely with the
synagogues and temples, adds
Bussin, who has been active both
in Federation and temples most of
his life. The Federation and the
synagogue cannot exist without
each other in American life, he

ticipation in missions both local
and UJA trips to Israel, Ben adds.
He himself was tremendously im-
pressed and informed by such a
trip which he took under Federa-
tion auspices, "and it made me
realize just how much it means
when we say we are one people,
whether in the U.S., in Israel, or
in Ethiopia." He felt it was ex-
tremely important to emphasize
that local missions, held for small
groups, with transportation pro-
vided, are free of charge, im-
mensely interesting, and involve
no fund-raising.

will not come to address the
commemorative ses-
the 40th anniver-
sary of the United Nations.
This became a fact Monday
after a draft resolution proposing
that Arafat be invited to take part
in the 40th anniversary com-
memoration was withdrawn.
The decision of the sponsors of
the resolution India, Iraq,
Kuwait, Nigeria, Senegal and
Yemen to withdraw their pro-
posal came after intense
diplomatic lobbying and pressure
over the weekend, especially by
the United States and other
Western countries. The United
States, according to diplomatic
sources, warned that if Arafat
was invited. President Reagan
would not come to address the
special session.
DIPLOMATS here described
the turn of events as a severe blow
to the prestige of the PLO, which
has observer status at the UN.
Arafat appeared once before at a
General Assembly session in
November, 1974.
The announcement of the
withdrawal of the draft resolution
was made at the opening of the
commemorative session Monday
DIPLOMATS HERE noted
that Arafat, theoretically, can still
be invited to the UN General
Assembly to participate in the
Middle East debate and the
debate on the Palestinian issue
not nearly as significant as the
unity which is fostered by the
UJA and the Federation in their
work. In fact, thanks to the im-
plementation of such themes as
that adopted by the community in
South County this year, a fourth
"phase" seems to be emerging
that of unification of the Jewish
People with a common goal and a
common education which
transcends the religious
Bussin, a certified public ac-
countant from New Jersey, began
his involvement while spending
much of his time "on the road" in
Essex County, N.J. He never felt
at home anywhere as much as in
the temple or synagogue, where
early on he began working with
youth, and then serving on the
Temple board of directors. It was
through the work of the
synagogues to establish a Jewish
Community Center in Essex
County that he became involved in
the UJA, and in community work.
A graduate of St. John's
University, Bussin served as
treasurer and board member of
Temple Beth El in South Orange,
N.J., as president of Temple Zion
in Bloomfield, and was active in
the Federation-UJA and the
Rotary Club. Three years ago, a
year after settling in South Coun-
ty permanently, he was asked to
chair the (newly-formed) Family
Division, after he and his wife
Evelyn ran a small but successful
cocktail party for the campaign. It
has been a forward momentum for
the Family Division under his
chairmanship ever since.
Ben wants to increase the
cooperation between the Federa-
tion and the synagogues by plann-
ing a major "Federation Sabbath"
at every one of the 10 congrega-
tions this year primarily not for
solicitation but for education and
fostering more involvement of
people. Still active in the Rotary
International, Ben is currently

Services For Victim
Held At Temple Sinai
by General Assembly President
Janie de Pinies of Spain.
After the announcement was
made, Israel's Ambassador to the
UN, Binyamin Netanyahu, issued
the following statement:
"The removal of the proposal to
invite the international terror
organization of the PLO and its
leader, Yasir Arafat, to the 40th
anniversary celebration of the UN
is a sign of a soberizing process in
the Western world regarding the
real nature of the PLO and the
moral distortion which such an in-
vitation to Arafat would have con-
stituted. The UN would have
fulfilled its real obligation by br-
inging the PLO and Arafat to an
international court that would
judge them for their terrible
crimes against the Jewish people
and humanity."
A special service was held at
Temple Sinai in Delray Beach on
Friday night, Oct. 11, in memory
of the late Leon Klinghoffer.
Klinghoffer, murdered by Arab
terrorists aboard the Italian ship
Achille Lauro, was the brother of
Ruth Mintz, a member of Temple
Sinai, and a wife of one of the
Temple's board members.
Though it was arranged without
opportunity for advance notice,
more than 500 people took part in
the service to express respects
and sympathy for the victim and
his family, but also to register
their abhorrence of the foul act.
Rabbi Bruce Warshal, executive
director of the South County
Jewish Federation, officiated at
the service he was scheduled to
do so anyway, substituting for
Rabbi Samuel Silver who had
undergone surgery shortly
"Most times death is private
and the agony is shared by close
intimates," Rabbi Warshal said as
the service began. "There is the
rare occasion when the death is
public and the agony is not only
shared by loved ones, but by the
community at large."
But beside standing with Ruth
Mintz as a community. Rabbi
Warshal said, it is important "to
proclaim to the world that Leon
Klinghoffer's sacrifice should not
be in vain, that his death should be
a beginning of a new revolt
against those who would turn our
world into a battleground for
aberrant political issues."
Rabbi Warshal asked the entire
congregation to sign a petition to
President Ronald Reagan thank-
ing him for his action in apprehen-
ding the terrorists and asking him
to pursue the utmost punishment
for them, and they asked the en-
tire group to join in the mourner's
kaddish for Klinghoffer.

Federation/UJA Campaign '86 Update
From The Diary Of ...
A South County 'Missionaire'
By MIRIAM BAT-DAVID
Our van took us back to the Baer
Campus where we had started the
day. We were greeted at the en-
trance by Harold Cohen, the direc-
tor of the Levis Jewish Communi-
ty Center. We toured the Center
and I marvelled at the beautifully
kept grounds, the large pool, the
auditorium and activity rooms.
The programming of the Levis
JCC encompassed all ages and all
spheres of activities bridge,
aerobics, ceramics, tennis lessons
(there are tennis courts on the
campus) swim instructions, Israeli
folk dancing, basketball and
volleyball, special programs for
teens and tweens, youth after
school programs and special pro-
grams for senior citizens known
as "Prime Timers."
There are many programs with
the underlying theme of Jewish
education and experiences. Camp

services some 400 children.
We were escorted to one of the
activity rooms. As we quietly
entered, I again felt choked with
emotion. There, around a large
round, child-level table, were 10
boys and girls aged 2-3 years. The
girls had kerchiefs on their heads
and the boys wore assorted, multi-
colored kippot. Shabbat candles
glowed in the center of the table
and each child was busily sticking
seeds into dough shaped,
miniature challahs. We were
welcomed and the teacher and
children recited the various Shab-
bat blessings for us. How
adorable! How marvelous to subt
ly instill Jewish tradition in
Jewish tots! How the children
were enjoying themselves was
evidenced by their smiles and
glowing eyes. This was the Shab-
bat Funshop.
We moved a few doors down to
the Federation Board Room.
There, on an easel were the plans
of the Campus to be built on U.S.
441 and Glades Road. The various
divisions of Federation will be
located there as well as a Con-
gregate Living facility, funded by
federal HUD money. Adjacent to
this property (consisting of 23
acres, donated to the Federation
by Richard and Carol Siemens),
will be a nursing home in which
Federation will have full admis-
sion privileges as well as the
capability of Jewish programming
for the residents. The new West
Boca Community Hospital is
within walking distance. How
wonderful. I thought, that the
Jewish community will soon have
"a place to call our own."
We met several directors of
various divisions and heard about
the Endowment Foundation, the
Community Relations Council
(which is comprised of represen-
tatives of the over 70 Jewish
organizations in our community),
Young Leadership
Committees' Heads Named
Stan Fishbein, chairman of the
Young Leadership Division, has
announced the following appoint-
ments to the Executive Commit-
tee: Darryl Kogan and Craig
Richman as vice chairmen, Jeff
Kune as chairman of the Missions
and Conferences Committee,
Gary Scharf as chairman of the
Social Committee and Stephen
Melcer as chairman of the Cam-
paign Committee.
The Young Leadership Division,
geared toward singles and mar-
rieds in their 20's and 30's. was
designed to provide a much need-
ed forum for young Jews desiring
an opportunity to participate in
Jewish communal life.
According to Stan Fishbein,
"the goals of young leadership in
elude the education and develop-
ment of a strong Jewish identity
among its members through a
diverse program of education,
social and cultural activities."
This year, the YLD (Young
Leadership Division) will focus on
a number of activities. The first,
primarily a social function, is a
twilight cocktail reception at the
Atnum Cafe on Thursday, Nov.
14, between 5:30 and 8 p.m. Gary
Scharf, chairman of the Social
Committee, is committed to
establishing a group of young pro-
fessionals willing to participate in
Federation-sponsored activities.
According to Gary, "the cocktail
reception is a non-fundraiser,
designed to attract future Jewish
leaders and help create an
autonomous group that, through
socializing, will become better
educated and more committed
A second event, under both the
Education and Social Committee,
is the sponsoring of Sally Fox,
noted actress and dramatist who
will perform for the YLD on Sun-
day evening, Nov. 24. The perfor-
mance is classified as Jewish En-
counter Theater. Ms. Fox is
famous for her portrayal of con-
temporary Jewish stereotypes
and her ability to carry on a
dialogue with the audience while
playing these characters. Because
of the unusual nature of Ms. Fox's
performance, seating will be
limited. Those interested in ex-
perimental theatre will find this a
most rewarding evening.
Under the leadership of Jeff
Kune. the Missions and Con-
ferences Committee of YLD is ac-
tively promoting the Young
Leadership Conference in
Young Leadership Division
is pleased to announce its first event
of the season!
Please mark your calendars to attend the
Twilight Cocktail Reception
to be held on
November 14,1985
from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. at the beautiful
ATRIUM CAFE, in the Atrium Plaza Building,

Washington on March 2-4, 1986.
According to Jeff, "the con-
ference is one of the most impor-
tant activities any young person
interested in becoming a leader in
the Jewish community can par-
ticipate in."
The conference provides an op-
portunity to meet with senators
and congressmen, to lobby on
l>ehalf of Jewish issues, to meet
Israeli government officials. It is
expected that President Reagan
will address the group.
According to Jeff, the South
County Jewish Federation is so
committed to participation in the
conference that a subsidy will be
provided for those individuals in-
terested in attending.
According to chairman Stan
Fishbein, "Young Leadership is
an investment in the future of
World Jewry. It is the overall goal
of the YLD to become the link for
young Jewish adults and the more
established Jewish community. As
YLD continues to grow, it will
become increasingly more signifi-
cant and influential, thus, your in-
volvement in this program from
the beginning is extremely impor-
tant. It is up to you whether or not
you want your voice to count."
The Federation representative
to the YLD is Dr. Robert G.
Fish man. For any information on
this division, contact Dr. Fishman
at the Federation office.

The resolution added: "We call on

to bring about a just society based
on negotiations with all races."

Another possibility, though very
remote according to the
diplomats, is that the Arabs and
their allies will introduce a new
resolution in the next few days to
invite Arafat to the special adver-

Israel by word of mouth and finan-

22 percent of American Jews have
ever touched Israeli soil. A record
405,000 North Americans visited
Israel in 1984, but the miracle on
the Mediterranean, with its
history, archeology, biblical
residents, beauty of storied land-
scape and the faces of the harden-
ed, yet sensitive Sabras, has never
been seen, first hand, by the vast
majority of American Jews.
In 1986, let's end the irony.
Visit Israel. Your visit can do so
much to help the struggling
economy. One tourist visit means
about $800 for Israel. Multiply
that by 100,000 visitors, and it
means eighty million dollars in
new funds which Israel needs to
balance its strained economy. If
one thing has been proven by ter-
rorism throughout Europe in re-
cent months, it is that it is safer to
travel in Israel than to travel
either by plane or by cruise ship
through western Europe. Visit
Israel. Spend your time in the land
of your ancestors, rather than in
Europe. Let the miracle touch
your heart. Walk along the shore
of Tel Aviv. Visit the marketplace
and the synagogues of Jerusalem.
Breathe the clean mountain air of
the mystical city of Safed. Bathe
in the refreshingly cool water of
the Sea of Galilee. Meet the Israeli
people, the people who dedicate
their lives to "the dream."
I have rarely met a Jew who
would not defend Israel's right to
exist in principle, yet I have fre-
quently met a Jew who had never
been to the place that he/she
defends with his/her heart and
This is ironic. In 1986, let the
irony end. Lead your family and
yourself to the land of your
historic origin. On the one hand,
you will refresh your own souls.
On the other, you will show your
support through deed, rather than
through word of mouth.

On Church and State
Seek Balance of Power Not Overzealous Separation
By IRVING GREENBERG
American Jews have been over-
whelmingly for separation of
church and state and for good
reason. Through the Middle Ages,
religion and the state were closely
tied: citizenship was defined
religiously. Inevitably, then,
heretics had little or no rights.
Jews were condemned to be out-
siders, living on tolerance untill
it ran out.
Klinghoffer Killed
Because He Was A Jew
There can be little doubt that Leon Klinghoffer. the
frail 69-year-old New York stroke victim, was singled
out for murder by the terrorists who took over the
Italian cruise liner Achille Lauro last week simply
because he was Jewish. The second announced victim,
to whom the terrorists fortunately never got in their
plan, was a Jewish woman, apparently also singled
out for the same reason.
The ship was taken over on Monday of last week
(Oct. 7). It was not until the terrorists "gave up" on
Wednesday, or perhaps a day or two after, that Kl-
inghoffer's murder and identity were confirmed.
Certainly, the terrorists themselves did not report
that they had shuffled passenger passports like decks
of cards to come up with "Jewish-sounding names."
That information came from others. Indeed, as of last
Monday, representatives of the Palestine Liberation
Organization at the United Nations and elsewhere in
the world, as well as Egypt's President Hosni
Mubarak himself, were still insisting that there had
been no murder at all that Klinghoffer was simply
"frightened to death." After all, he had a bad heart,
didn't he? The body of an old man that washed up in
Syria Tuesday perhaps tells their lie.
It is a rare tribute to the media that they made little
or nothing of the fact that Klinghoffer was Jewish or,
indeed, a chairman of an Israel Bonds campaign divi-
sion in New York City.
If something positive at all has come out of the
Achille Lauro affair, it is that for the first time the
United States stood up to terrorists and put them on
warning, in President Reagan's words: "You can run,
but you can't hide." The startling American intercep-
tion of the Egyptian jetliner spiriting the terrorists
away in the deal arranged for their freedom by Presi-
dent Mubarak to leave the Italian liner and its
passengers in peace took a forthright stand: Don't
mess with our citizens anymore not Jewish, not
hyphenated-anything, not any American citizens.
Americans Stand Proud
It is the interception itself that raises the negatives
the anger between the United States and the
Italians for letting Muhammed Abbas go. Abbas was
recently elected to the PLO's 11-member executive
committee with the special blessing of Yasir Arafat.
He was one of two PLO officials sent to the Achille
I^auro tied up at Port Said to "negotiate" the depar-
ture of the terrorists, and who accompanied them on
the Egyptian jetliner out of the country when U.S.
fighter planes intercepted it and forced it to land in
There is also the anger between the U.S. and
Egypt, stirred by President Mubarak's demand Mon-
day that President Reagan apologize to all Egyptians
because of the interception a demand Mr. Reagan
said Tuesday he has no intention of doing.
The list of negatives is long and complicated, but in
the end Americans for the moment stand a bit pro-
uder because of what our government did in retalia-
tion against the terrorists. Moreover, there is the
sense for the first time that finally the Administration
understands in its gut what terrorism is all about and
that people like Yasir Arafat are not simply what they
claim to be.

U.S. Past Not Secular
The U.S. was the first major
country funded in modern times.
Modern culture was sympathetic
to pluralism. Capitalism favored
social peace, a neutral govern-
ment and an unfettered economy
to allow maximum production and
distribution. Modern science
wanted to be rid of religious and
state interference. And the domi-
nant modern philosophy was
liberal. The New World set-
tlements were established by out-
siders, many of whom had been
persecuted in Europe. These fac-
tors combined with the open-
ness and great opportunities of
the land set the ground for the
Founding Fathers to disestablish
religion for the sake of social
peace and democracy.
Nevertheless, America was far
from a secularist country. There
was almost universal belief in
God. (To this day, Americans
register belief in God in the 90th
port-entiles, whereas in Europe
the percentages are in the 70s and
in Japan, in the 50s.) Religion in
this country gave up establish-
ment, but gained power and in-
fluence as a result.
In Europe, the Catholic Church
was government-established and
was often abusive of others, and
frequently excessively formal and
routinized. In America, it struggl-
ed against exclusion and
discrimination and developed a
more vital laity and clergy. The
black church was very strong ser-
ving as a vehicle for dignity and
hope as well as an agent of social
solidarity and mutual help. As
Alexis de Tocqueville pointed out
in his classic study, "Democracy
in America", religion undergirded
the whole democratic system.
Religion gave democracy sanctity,
a sense of purpose and a higher
meaning in a framework of shared
values. This enabled parties to
disagree strongly (and policy
alternatives to develop) without
losing the consensus which binds
all together and makes
disagreements or even being out
of power liveable.
The price for this religious con-
tribution was that separation of
church and state was not com-
plete. Christianity as the basis of
American life was tacitly assumed
in many areas Protestant Chris-
tianity at that. The public schools
were weak untill 100 years ago,
and they casually used Christian
(Protestant) elements in their pro-
grams and curriculum. Not untill
1960, could a Catholic be elected
President of the United States.
Blue laws and a host of other
restrictions testified to the unself-
conscious Christian elements in
national life. Jews suffered from
legal disabilities and social exclu-
sion later on. And there was
pressure on all groups, including
Jews, to give up distinctiveness
and conform to "American"
norms and expectations.
Tree Pluralism ia New
The miracle of full American ac-
ceptance for Jews was made
possible by another historic shift.
The lessons of World War II
(including the Holocaust)
dishonored racism and bigotry.
First Catholic, then black,
breakthroughs made it easier for
all groups to assert their right to a
genuine pluralism. The tremen-
dous development of media and
their capacity to expose
everybody to everybody else's
culture, religion and lifestyles led
to a growing pluralism of ex-
perience and values. Decades of
prosperity led to increased in-
dividualism, secularization,
hedonism and self-assertion. A
great rise in higher education also
developed more sophisticated,
more secular and more tolerant
elites. It all came together and
America became truly pluralist. In
a remarkable display of ment-
schlickkeit and decency, the ma-
jority American culture voluntari-
ly gave up its monopoly and in-
vited Jews in for full, truly equal
citizenship. This pluralism was un-
paralleled in diaspora history and
possibly in human civilization.
Jews would have to be out of their
minds not to guard this achieve-
ment fiercely.
However, there was a price for
the new situation. Some Pro-
testants felt deprived. Catholics
needed more help for their
parochial school system. The free
availability of alternative
lifestyles including pathological
elements like drugs and por-
nography seemed to many
traditionalists to be swamping all
values. Tolerance too often turned
into indifference. Affluence led to
such phenomena as consumerism,
self-centeredness and weakening
of the bonds of family and society.
The spread of abortion was a
moral gain to some, but created
an abhorrent moral situation to
significant numbers of others.
Sometimes the pursuit of
pluralism appeared to weaken the
chance to teach values and
religion altogether, for fear of of-
fending some limited group. The
result was weakening of political
consensus and a growth in
polarization. The 60's and 70's
showed that these developments
could threaten civil discourse and
civic life in America. There was
also some loss of overall meaning
and societal cohesion.
Fear of Right Wing
One response to the new situa-
tion was the growth of conser-
vatism and the religious right-
wing groups, and the appearance
of such phenomena as the Moral
Majority. These developments
have alarmed many Jews. Jews
have remained highly visible
leaders of tM fight' for pure
separation of church and state. In
the last two decades, the state
(and federal) governments sought
ways of providing help (in the
form of social services) to
parochial schools. Jewish
organizations have been active in
such groups as PEARL, which
went to court to fight any and all
forms of help. (One is tempted to
paraphrase Mencken's famous
dictum defining a 'Puritan': a
liberal separationist is a person
who cannot sleep at night for fear
that some time, some place, some
child is getting a religious educa-
tion with some government help.)
The official program of NJCRAC
The alliance of Jewish Com-
munity Relations Councils re-
mains very much tilted toward
simon pure separation of church
and state.
Separation of church and state
is not an ultimate end in itself.
Jews should support it as the best
framework for civil discourse and
religious creativity in all the
groups. But a total decline in
religion is not good, either. As
Milton Himmelfarb argued: What
profit is there for Jews if the
separation doctrine succeeds in
keeping the Ten Commandments
from being posted at a public
school? Parochial schools are an
important source of pluralist
values in a society which could
become monolithically secular.
Healthy Counterbalance
It is disturbing that the net-
works and the media are so
favorable to all "outsiders" in-
cluding, by a 'halo' effect, ter-
rorists. It is good that the Moral
Majority criticizes them and
makes them more self-conscious
and sensitive to the need to in-
clude right and conservative con-
cerns. Better that influence than
government intervention or other
forms of censorship. Intimidation
by the right-wing is bad, but a
counterbalancing influence for the
right is healthy.

buying into a condominium like
those which have flourished in
Florida, but with a cost-of-living
less than half, so that modest fix-
ed incomes, and even social securi-
ty payments, might be more than
adequate to live on. This last.
Cohen believes, is the "wave of
the future."
Realistically, says Cohen, it
does not appear that massive
numbers of American Jews will
move to Israel. Still, several tens
of thousands have done so since
1948, and those who want to con-
sider the possibility (or the
challenge) should be encouraged.
Just as most Jews support Israel
and various connected projects
financially and politically, they
should support the Aliya move-
ment and those who are willing to
make the move.
It was for this purpose that an
ALIYA COUNCIL was set up in
South County several months ago.
A number of individuals who
share the conviction that Aliya
should be encouraged and sup-
ported got together to form it,
and at its very first meeting the
council had 30 interested people
(only a handful of whom are ac-
tually contemplating moving to
Israel). These individuals range
from their early 20's to their 60's.
The Aliya Council sees its task
as an educational one primarily
to dispel many myths which peo-
ple have developed about moving
to and living in Israel, and to pro-
vide concrete information about
the various programs, benefits, in-
centives and aid available to those
making the move. Another func-
tion is to create methods of
assisting, practically, those who
plan such a move, and a support
system after the move was made.
It should be noted that the Aliya
Council is NOT intended merely
for those interested in Aliya for
themselves; every person who
feels aliya should be encouraged
can be part of the council. "It's an
excellent application of the com-
munity theme ONE DREAM,
DESTINY," according to one
council member.
The Aliya Council will
sponsor its first communi-
ty program on Sunday,
Nov. 3, at 7 p.m. It will be
an "Evening In Israel"
with food, music and
Israeli folk-dance, and an
entertaining guest speaker
Rabbi Jack Green of
Miami (formerly of
Baltimore). There will be
no admission charge and
no solicitation. As an add-
ed treat, children of the
Jewish Community Day
School will present their
play "This Is Your Life,
Israel." The program will
be held at the Adolph and

munity Center, 336 NW

however, is preoccupied

While there is certainly
room to criticize much of the

sion for their acts of omis-
sion and slants in the
coverage, the chief criticism
stems not so much from bias
as from distortions, omis-
sions and a lack of balance in

news sources, the wire ser-
vices and foreign
Thus it happened that the
murder of seven Israelis,
three of them children, in
Sinai two weeks ago, was
treated as an insignificant
story by the general press.
And the other murder of
two more Israelis in the Ju-
dean Hills a few days before
that, by the same terrorist
cell which had earlier
murdered at least on two oc-
casions, went virtually un-
noticed. (As did a subse-
quent search by the Israeli
army, its confrontation with
the remaining five members
of the cell, and killing four
of them in an exchange of
fire; and its subsequent
bulldozing of their houses in
an Arab village .)
Worse than that: a subse-
quent statement by Egyp-
tian President Mubarak that
the murder of the seven was
"a minor incident" was also
not reported or dismissed
lightly by the press. It is not
difficult to picture the press
reaction were things the
other way around; imagine
an Israeli soldier killing
seven Arabs in a refugee
camp in Gaza, and Premier
Shimon Peres dismissing it
as a "minor incident" .. .
We feel compelled,
therefore, to present the
facts of this "minor inci-
dent": Four families were
on a trip to Sinai during the
Succoth holyday, in four
cars. On their second day,
some of the children were
walking up a sand dune at
Ras Bureka, some 50
kilometers south of Eilat on
the shore of the Gulf of
Aqaba, when an Egyptian
soldier yelled "Allah
A-kbar"* and started
shooting. The soldier, a fun-
damentalist supporter of
Ayatollah Khomeini, had
just finished his prayers.
Some of the adults following
behind the children were
also caught in the spray of
fire, while the other par-
ticipants in the camping trip
were prevented by other
Egyptian soldiers from ap-
proaching those who were
Two of the Israelis were
killed outright. One of the
children was hit in the aor-
ta, and there are some
doubts wJTether or not his
life could have been saved.
But a post mortem in Israel
showed that at least four of
those shot were injured and
died of subsequent loss of
blood over a period of
several hours and there is
no doubt their lives could
have been saved with ap-
propriate, prompt medical
This medical attention
was delayed as the Egyp-
tians waited for a responsi-
ble officer to arrive from
Nueiba, several miles to the
south; and then waited for
representatives of the multi-
national peacekeeping force
in Sinai to arrive in order to
evacuate the victims
while those bled to death.
Other Egyptian soldiers,
reportedly, stood and wat-
ched the shooting, making
no effort to stop the maniac.
In fact, according to one of
the wounded children, two
of them were actually
laughing as the soldier kept
shooting short bursts inter-
mittently for a couple of
Killed in the incident were

Dina Barry and her
parents and younger
brother are cousins of a

ly spent a year in the U.S.
on a sabbatical.
Premier Shimon Peres
did not react by suspending
the talks on Taba, and the

Jewish Community Day School
By ROBIN BRALOW
The Joy of
Kabbalat Shabbat
Fridays are special at the South
Community Jewish Day School.
The students dress more formally
than on other days girls wear
skirts or dresses and a feeling
of celebration permeates the air.
On Fridays, the school holds a
Kabbalat Shabbat ceremony,
welcoming the Sabbath.
Each class holds its own service,
followed later by an assembly with
a ceremony held at each of the two
campuses. The school ceremony is
led by the music teachers. Elissa
Grynspan and Ruth Etkin. who
sing Sabbath songs, after the
candles are lit and the kxddush is
made with grape juice (taking the
place of wine) in the traditional
Each class gives its own inter-
pretation to the class ceremonies,
and all are unique and lovely. A
moving experience, especially, is
the one by the four-year-olds*
class of Andrea Mossovitz, direc-
tor of the Preschool. Ever)- week
an Ima (mother) and Abba (father)
are selected. A beautiful gold
crown with a Magen David is plac-
ed on Ima's head, like a princess.
Abba wears a white kipak (yar-
mulka) as a symbol of purity.
Ima and Abba stand before a
neatly set table, complete with
flowers, a silver wine cup and
covered rhalUik. They conduct the
ritual prayers and candle lighting
with virtually no help from the
teacher, and the entire class joins
in Sabbath songs. The children
eagerly look forward to Kabbalat
Shabbat every week.
As the children become more
adept at Hebrew, they take on
more and more of the service
themselves, with the upper grades
often leading the entire service
from start to finish. A more
joyous way of welcoming the Sab-
bath is difficult to imagine ...

TAU Prof. Sets Up Judaic Studies
Center At Vatican's U.
A Tel Aviv University professor
has been invited to help organize
the first center for Jewish studies
at the Vatican's Gregoriana
University in Rome. The invita-
tion to Prof. Daniel Carpi, seta a
new precedent in Israeli academic
relations with the Vatican which
has no diplomatic ties with Israel.
Prof. Carpi, who recently com-
pleted three years as director of
the Chaim Rosenberg School for
Jewish Studies at TAU, will spend
the fall semester at Gregoriana,
where he will give a course on the
Jewish communities of Western
Europe and the Mediterranean
from the expulsion of the Jews
from Spain in 1492 to the beginn-
ing of the Zionist movement.

an important institute for the
study of Bible, and is in the pro-
cess of updating its curriculum to
include modem Jewish history,
Prof. Carpi said. The new center,
to be named the Interfaculty
Center of Judaic Studies, will
focus on this period.
Tlie appointment could usher in
a new era of academic exchange
between TAU and Gregoriana
University, according to Pro-
fessor Gabriel Cohen, Tel Aviv's
dean of Humanities. Professor
Ary R. Crollius, dean of
Gregoriana's faculty of theology,
visited TAU earlier this year to

Shabbat Funshop
Reaching Out To
The Whole Family
(A personal message
from Karen Albert)
Many years ago a
Lubavitcher Rabbi told me
that our Torah promises us
that we will return to
Judaism through our
children. It's only now, that
I understand what he
meant. .
Shabbat Funshop, offered
through the Early
Childhood Department of
the Levis JCC, is my way of
reaching out to Jewish
families through our
children. When I am given
the opportunity to teach
two- and three-year-olds the
rituals of Shabbat and to im-
part to them my love of
Judaism and belief in G-d
there is no greater pleasure.
Every week our children
bake challah to take home
for their family Shabbat.
We sing songs, we dance,
we pray. The children make
their own kiddush cups,
Shabbat candlesticks,
challah covers and other
Shabbat crafts.
When you enter our room,
be prepared to fall in love
. Our little boys wear kip-
pot, and our girls select col-
orful kerchiefs for their
heads. The only light in the
room is that emanating
from the Shabbat candles. I
help our children to unders-
tand that two Shabbat
candles can light up an en-
tire room. In addition, Shab-
bat candles lit in every
Jewish home can light up
the entire world. I ask the
children: "Who is in this
room besides us?" and they
quietly whisper to me.
"G-d.'1 The children are
mesmerized -by the mood
created in the room.
Last year I had 12
children enrolled in the
Shabbat Funshop. Several
mothers came to me and
asked me to teach them the
Sabbath blessings. I was
told that only two of the 12
families had previously lit
candles on Friday evenings
but when class was over
in June all 12 were lighting
Shabbat candles and
reciting the blessings. To
me this was the greatest
moment, the ultimate
payback of the job. Ten
families began a return to
practicing Judaism through
their children ...
For more information on
the Shabbat Funshop call

Fun was the main object

Bv DAVID LANDAU
President Richard von
Weizsaecker of West Ger-
many placed a wreath on
the tomb of Theodor Herzl
last week. The first German
chief of state ever to come
to Israel, von Weizsaecker
arrived on a four-day official
visit accompanied by his
wife, Marianne.
Within an hour after landing at
Ben Gurion Airport where they
were greeted warmly by Presi-
dent Chaim Herzog, the couple
paid a solemn visit to the Yad
Vashem Holocaust memorial in
Jerusalem in tribute to the six
million Jews slain by the Nazis in
World War II.
EARLIER, as he stepped from
his special Lufthansa airplane, the
West German President spoke
forthrightly of the Holocaust
We Germans will certainly not
thrust away remembrance of the
past." he said, speaking in
English." The Jewish people were
subjected to untold persecution.
The past cannot be wiped out. The
more openly we lace the truth, the
freer we are to meet present day
Herzog noted in response that
von Weizsaecker has
demonstrated on many ocasions
throughout his career "your
dedication to reconciliation and
your concern for our future." At
an official dinner later. Herzog
made a point of praising von Weiz-
saecker's Bundestag speech of
last May 8. commemorating the
40th anniversary of the end of the
war and the fall of the Third
The German President met with
Premier Shimon Peres and. accor-
ding to Israeli sources, indicated
he was very encouraged by Peres'
outline of diplomatic prospects for
peace and Israel's intentions.
Much of his discussions with Peres
and other Israeli officials focused
on international terrorism and its
latest manifestation, the hijacking
of the Italian cruise ship Achille
Lauro by Palestinian gunmen who
held 400 passengers and crew
members hostage, including a
large number of German nationals
among the former.

PERES EXPRESSED the
ut'w that the fight against ter-
rorism enhanced rather than im-
peded the peace process. Unbridl-
ed terrorism diminishes the pro-
spects for peace, he said.
Peres cited evidence which he
said proved direct links between
the Palestine Liberation
Organization base in Tunisia,
destroyed by Israeli bombers, and
the murder of three Israeli
civilians by Palestinian terrorists
aboard a yacht at Lamaca.

bluntly expressed his bafflement
at Europe's wholesale condemna-

I agree with Loveitaly....I wish they would develop some grown up versions of children's clothes...especially that chhic little grey dress, though I would prefer a soft pink cardigan.ReplyDelete
I used to stand in front of an upscale children's clothing store and wish someone would design clothes with the kind of practicality that goes into those clothes...you can work in them, play in them, eat in them, nap in them..do just about anything and be very comfortable. I think someone could make a lot of money designing women's clothes with these things in mind.
LoveItaly -ReplyDelete
I think it's the other way around. The baby clothes designers get ideas from the French couture.
I would love an all-in-one jumper suit too, but does it have to have a snap/drop-seat bottom?
Heck, what do they call those things..
Booties attached?
Ah the days of jump suits...

Interesting blog. I was thinking as I looked at the pictures how boring to be wearing only gray. Then I looked down at myself and realized I am wearing Gray and tend to wear it often. Someone once told me that if you wear gray you can be more creative. You can think better without alot of color on. Not sure if it is true but since I was wearing gray at the time I thought it interesting.ReplyDelete
And since pink is my favorite color, I think pink with soft dove Gray is yummy. ;-)

When my youngest daughter was 15 months old she had a summer dress in grey and white. Though I always love colours, it was my favorite dress of hers that summer.ReplyDelete
All so very sophisticatedReplyDelete
The grey is so one can go quite mad with the accessories - hermes scarves in all hues, tod bags in reds and with bangles, and of course rubies, sapphires, and emeralds to set off the Jimmy Choo and Bally wonders of the feet.ReplyDelete
Oh my...fabulous!!!ReplyDelete
Grey is the new baby pink, don't you think?ReplyDelete
no, no, no, carol, here I have to disagree. iti s greatly reductioniastic to say paris is a grey town, when there are so many other colors at play that to the untrained eye might be just "grey." but you know better; you see better than that.ReplyDelete
there is ochre, slate blue, charcoal, sunset pink, just to name a few, in the photo you posted... and it's all suffused with the kind of light I've never seen anywhere else in the world.
am I right?
maitresse Grey is not made up of BLACK + WHITE.ReplyDelete
GREY is made from mixing complementary colors like:
So GREY can be slanted in any of those directions more so or less so.
ochre, slate blue, charcoal, sunset pink are all shades of grey !
And greys make other pure colors look more intense. Go to any photographer's home page and you'll see the background is grey.
Like they say say, things are not just black & white, but many shades of grey.
Paris' grey light is particularly attractive to artists because it's reflective and soft and doesn't wash out colors the way strong New York light does.
I could go on and on...
That Paris cafe scene is so damn Parisien! Like being there and makes me want to grab a plane right this second!ReplyDelete
I love your vision of Paris... Buy Baby Clothes Online UK

Wildlife crime, including poaching, illegal harvesting and other illegal cross-border trade in biological resources taken from the wild, has reached worrying levels and become a serious transnationally organised criminal business, now representing the fourth largest illegal activity in the world after drug trafficking, counterfeiting and human trafficking. This can have potentially disastrous implications for the conservation of the trafficked species.
"Wildlife crime puts entire ecosystems at risk, and international intelligence, policy and enforcement efforts have to be urgently strengthened, in particular to address the role of international crime in driving illegal activities. We need to be better organised than the organised crime. The EU now has to play a crucial role to help convene different stakeholders internationally, and take a lead in strengthening efforts on its own territory and also in supporting countries from which trafficked wildlife originates," said Luc Bas, Director of IUCN's EU Representative Office, on the occasion of a Conference on the EU Approach Against Wildlife Trafficking organised by the European Commission, which took place on 10 April 2014 in Brussels.
"It is equally important to remember that not all activity is harmful and illegal. Indeed, many species can be legally and sustainably collected and traded in ways that not only support human livelihoods and provide essential benefits to local communities, but can also contribute to conservation and to reducing wildlife trafficking," added Dena Cator, IUCN Programme Officer for Network Support at the IUCN Species Programme.
"As clearly confirmed by the input we received from the public consultation, law enforcement is a weak point that needs to be addressed. It is exactly the potential economic benefit combined with the weak enforcement system in place today that attracts organised criminal groups. The fact is that wildlife trafficking can be a very lucrative business with a comparative low risk of detection and lower sanctions than, for example, drug trafficking or trafficking in human beings," said Environment Commissioner Janez Potočnik at his opening speech.
"Within the EU we need a debate with Member States and other stakeholders to see how, and how far, environmental crime can be made a possible new priority in the EU-wide fight against serious and organised crime," he added.
A Member of European Parliament, Gerben-Jan Gerbrandy reminded the participants that Illegal wildlife trafficking affects not only the iconic species such as elephants and rhinoceroses, but also other species such as the pangolin, organ-pipe corals, many types of birds, reptiles, marine mammals, aquatic species such as fish, molluscs and corals, as well as plants such as trees, cacti and orchids. This variety needs to be reflected in the EU's approaches to combating wildlife crime. It will also be important to build on existing measures and initiatives, such as, in the case of elephants, the various existing CITES Decisions and Resolutions, the African Elephant Action Plan and other documents referred to both in the African Elephant Summit and London Conference on Illegal Wildlife Trade.
IUCN encourages field-based conservation initiatives in protected areas as a highly effective way to tackle the supply-side of wildlife trafficking, especially when linked to improved capacity for park rangers and use of appropriate technology and other tools. For example, IUCN's Save Our Species (SOS) Partnership is one of the major donors of the SMART Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool.
The EU conference aimed to identify measures and actions to be undertaken by the EU domestically and internationally to strengthen its approach against wildlife trafficking, bringing together participants from 26 Member States, as well as source and market countries in Africa, Asia and the Americas. Key international organisations such as Europol, Eurojust, Interpol, different part of the UN system and the World Bank were also represented. Civil society was actively participating through more than twenty different organisations, including IUCN.
The agenda focused on strengthening EU enforcement against wildlife trafficking; the fight against organized wildlife crime; as well as EU action at the international level, in terms of development support and diplomatic action.
Discussion at the conference built on feedback received from stakeholders on a Commission Communication on the future EU approach to wildlife trafficking published on 7 February 2014. IUCN consulted its broad network on the document – the IUCN Secretariat, including its regional offices and the Specialist Groups of the IUCN Species Survival Commission.
Based on the results of the consultation and the outcome of the expert conference held on 10 April 2014, the European Commission will propose to the next Environment Commissioner to review the existing policies and measures relating to wildlife trafficking within the EU to enable Member States of the EU to react more effectively to the current illegal wildlife crime crisis.
The issue of wildlife crime will be on the agenda of the IUCN World Parks Congress. One of the World Leaders' Dialogues is devoted to wildlife crime issues, entitled "The Nature of Crime," with John Scanlon, Secretary-General of CITES, and President Ali Bongo from Gabon so far confirmed to sit as panelists. In addition to the World Leaders' Dialogue, there will be several workshop sessions particularly from the stream 'Reaching Conservation Goals' and a series of side events that will focus on wildlife crime.
