NEW YORK (JTA) No
one is giving exact figures, but
if current travel plans pan out,
as many as 100,000
demonstrators will descend on
Washington Dec. 6 for
"Freedom Sunday for Soviet
That figure includes Jews ar-
riving on some 60 airline
flights, many of them
chartered for the day;
thousands of buses; and from
parts of the country as far
away as Seattle, Wash, and
with Jewish communities as
small as that of Duluth, Minn.
Organizers of the mobiliza-
tion, who include members
from most of the major na-
tional Jewish organizations in
North America, are already
saying it will be the largest
demonstration for Jewish
causes ever held in the nation's

Hang Glider To Terrorist Attack
Carlucci Sees No Breakthrough
By GIL SEDAN
Defense Minister Yitzhak
Rabin told the Knesset Mon-
day that the Israel Defense
Force high command has
issued strict orders to all units
aimed at preventing a recur-
rence of the events on the
night of Nov. 25, when a single
glider-borne terrorist killed six
soldiers and wounded seven at
an IDF encampment near
Kiryat Shemona in upper
He assured the lawmakers
that the matter would not be
dropped "until the proper
lessons of that unfortunate in-
cident are fully learned."
Chief of Staff Gen. Dan
Shomron, meanwhile, assured
settlers in northern Israel that
the IDF is correcting the
security failures that .allowed
the attack to succeed.
He said the IDF has the ap-
propriate means to deal with
future terrorist attempts to in-
filtrate Israel by air and that
the military high command will
take the proper disciplinary
measures. He stressed
however that the IDF will not
act hastily to "make heads

severely shaken Israelis' con-
fidence in their northern
defense system, was the sub-

debate in the Cabinet at its

Secretary of Defense Frank C.
Carlucci says that "no early
breakthroughs" toward a Mid-
dle East peace conference
should be expected, given "the
lack of consensus in Israel"
and "Arab insistence that an
international conference be
structured in a particular way
that hampers free, direct
bilateral negotiations."
In a briefing to represen-
tatives of the Conference of
Presidents of Major American
Jewish Organizations, the new
Defense Secretary said
American policy must find a
way to reconcile "King Hus-

sanction of his negotiations

Witnesses Attest To
Schwammberger Brutality
By ANDREW SILOW CARROL
NEW YORK (JTA) Ac-
counts by eyewitnesses to the
brutality of a suspected Nazi
war criminal arrested in
Argentina are being forward-
ed to Argentine authorities,
according to officials of the
Simon Wiesenthal Center in
Los Angeles and the World
Jewish Congress in New York.
Both groups are continuing
the search for survivors of
labor camps in Przemysl and
Rozwadow, and the concentra-
tion camp in Mielce, all in
Poland, where Josef Schwam-
mberger, 75, is said to have
been responsible, as comman-
dant, for the executions and
torture of hundreds of Jews.
The groups hope to speed ex-
tradition proceedings against
Schwammberger. They expect
a full trial for Schwammberger
to be held in West Germany,
where he will be charged with
mass murder and torture.

Conversion and Compromise
An Intra-Faith Solution
NEW YORK Differing ap-
proaches to the conversion of
non-Jews to Judaism con-
stitute a "serious barrier to
cooperation and good rela-
tions" between the various
Jewish religious movements,

Published by the American
ewish Committee.
Written by Lawrence
Grossman, formerly a pro-
gram specialist in the agency's
Jewish Communal Affairs
Dept. who becomes AJC's
director of publications
January 1, 1988, the booklet is
titled "Conversion to Judaism:
A Background Analysis."
Dr. Grossman points to the
increase in the number of con-
verts to Judaism in the U.S.
resulting from the high ratesa
of marriage between Jews and
Christians, then adds:
"Since the great majority of
such conversions do not meet
prevalent Orthodox standards,
there are now thousands of

themselves as Jews but whose

Jewish credentials will be
challenged should they wish to
marry in an Orthodox
ceremony." In Israel, he adds,
"the Orthodox monopoly" on
government recognition has
"politicized and inflamed the
While it is true that the
Jewish community has often
been wracked by sharp
ideological controversy, he
continues, some observers feel
that the conversion debate
might well lead to outright
schism* According to the
scenario of the pessimists, Or-
thodox Jews might refuse to
marry other Jews for fear that
many of them, converts or
descendants of converts,
might not be Jewish by tradi-
tional standards. "The result
would be two separate Jewish
peoples," he cautions.
Grossman addresses the
question of what can be done
to prevent the division of the
Jewish people, then answers:
"Traditional Jewish conver-
sion procedure entails circum-
cision (for men), immersion in
a ritual bath, and acceptance
of the commandments of
Jewish law. Reform Jews did
away with these requirements
in the 19th century, and the
Conservative and Reconstruc-
tionist movements generally
do not carry them out in a way
acceptable to the Orthodox.
Compounding the problem,
even were non-Orthodox rab-
bis to follow the traditional
procedure, the Orthodox
would invalidate their conver-
sions because they are not
'rabbis' in the traditional
To be sure, he writes in his
booklet, there is room for flex-
ibility on all sides. Within Or-
thodoxy, he asserts, there is a
long rabbinic tradition of inter-
pretation that validates, under
certain conditions, conversions
that are not likely to lead to
observance of the command-
ments so long as circumcision
and/or immersion takes place,
and Orthodox rabbis officiate.
For their part, a good number
of Reform and other non-
Orthodox rabbis are prepared
to demand of their converts
circumcision and/or immersion
if that could secure Orthodox
recognition for these conver-
sions, he adds.
There have been a number of
attempts to organize joint rab-
binic boards, consisting of
members of all the denomina-
tions, which would handle con-
versions in a manner accep-
table across the Jewish spec-
trum, Grossman reports. So
far, they have all run into dif-
ficulties. The best known, a
joint rabbinic board in Denver,
Colorado, lasted from 1978 till
1983, and broke up amid con-
siderable recrimination.
In some communities,
Grossman writes, the divisive
potential of diverse conversion
standards is addressed by in-
formal arrangements between
rabbis: The non-Orthodox rab-
bis have their candidates go
through circumcision and/or
immersion, and the Orthodox
rabbis sign the conversion cer-
tificates without inquiring too
deeply into the convert's ex-
pected pattern of Jewish
observance. He adds:
"Despite the angry rhetoric
that has been generated by the
conversion controversy, there
are rabbis of good will in all the
movements who are eager to
reach a consensus that would
preserve Jewish unity. The
Jewish community should en-
courage such efforts."
Iron Curtain Air Rights
TEL AVIV (JTA) Poland and Czechoslovakia have
riven permission to Israeli commercial planes to fly through
their airspace, lifting a ban imposed when those countries broke
diplomatic relations with Israel during the 1967 Six-Day War.
One result will be to shorten El Al's flights between Tel Aviv
and Copenhagen by 20 minutes, the airline announced. El Al will
soon introduce new Boeing 757 aircraft on this and other routes.
The new planes, which can seat 191 passengers, will replace the
Boeing 707s now in use.

diplomatic ties last summer, when Israel opened an interest sec-

Schwammberger Witness Recalls Memories For Testimony
By ELLEN ANN STEIN
Jewish Floridian Staff Writer
SAM NUSSBAUM, a Kan
sas plumber who said his plum-
bing skills saved him from
death in the Polish ghetto of
Przemysl, said there is one
final job he'd like to do af-
filiated with the Holocaust.
Nussbaum, 67, said he would
like to see Josef Schwamm-
berger, the commandant of
Nussbaum's ghetto who was
recently arrested in Argentina
and accused of Nazi murders,
"I'd like to hang him myself.
I never hung anybody,"
Nussbaum said, but if they
told me to hang him, I would. I
wouldn't hang him from the
neck. I'd hang him from other
Nussbaum is one of six
Holocaust survivors who have
come forward since Schwam-
mberger's arrest last month to
say they will testify against
Schwammberger's arrest on
an Argentinian ranch came
shortly after the Simon
Wiesenthal Center released an
unprecedented list of the 10
most wanted Nazi war
criminals. Schwammberger,
number five on the list, is be-
ing held in an Argentinian
hospital-prison ward, while ar-
rangements for his extradition
to West Germany for trial are
being made.
Nussbaum said, in a
telephone interview, that he
first learned about Schwamm-
berger when he read a story in
a Kansas Jewish newspaper
saying the front entrance of a
synagogue in Buenos Aires
was blown up and it was
thought to be related to the
Schwammberger arrest.
"I SAW that and it lit up my
ears," Nussbaum said. "I'm
coming forward. I'm risking
my life. My mind went back 40
years when I saw the article.
My memory went back like I
would be coming out of the
ghetto right now. And I'm
very depressed. I don't sleep
at night. I can hardly wait for
the day to bring him to
Nussbaum is the only
member of his family to sur-
vive the ghetto killings. His
mother, father, brother and
four sisters were shipped to
their deaths. He is not certain
to where, but he believes
eldon TOeZZ]
There were two ghettos,
divided into "A" and "B,"
Nussbaum recalls: "A" was
supposed to be for the working
people; "B," which was for the
non-workers, was liquidated,
he said. "The train was across
the street and everyone in the
"B" was loaded up to the train
like cattle."
Nussbaum said Schwamm-
berger came to the ghetto in
1943 after liquidating the ghet-
to in Rozwadeva. By the time
Schwammberger had arrived,
Nussbaum said he was already
established as the plumber of
the former ghetto gestapo.
"First, Schwammberger oc-
cupied a house outside the
ghetto," Nussbaum said. "I
remodeled the plumbing in his
house. He knew me well. He
came to the ghetto and picked
me up. He gave me a pass to
get out of the ghetto. Only a
few had passes to get out of
the ghetto."
Nussbaum said he and
Schwammberger frequently
engaged in conversation but it
had nothing to do with Jews or
the ghetto.
"We talked about what to do
with this leak, how to make the
pipe. He asked me how to
make vodka. I set up a still for
him on the edge of the
Przemysl ghetto."
Other memories are not so
trivial or frivolous. "Several
times I looked out and saw him
Schwammberger executing
Jewish men and women with
his revolver. Everybody had to
get undressed and he shot
everyone of them. I looked a
couple times and I saw what
was going on and I didn't have
to look any more."
ONE DAY, Nussbaum said,
he was walking with Schwam-
mberger and his wife when
they stopped by a man who
had been shot and was begging
for water.
"He Schwammberger pulled
his gun and turned him on his
back and shot him in the back
of the head ...
"He could take a ride in the
morning on his horse around
the fence of the ghetto and he

would pick up his rifle and pick
his prey."
Asked if he won any favor
with Schwammberger because
of his own service to him.
Nussbaum said, "He never
gave me any food. But one
time the toilet was dirty in the
main building from the office
and Schwammberger told
them to give me 25 lashes on
my back because the toilet was
dirty. I couldn't sit for a week.
"And the German Shepherd
with the name Prince
Schwammberger's dog ... if
that dog got a hold of you he
didn't just tear your pants, he
took a piece of meat with it."
There came a point when
Nussbaum's services were no
longer wanted by
"THERE WAS a little
graveyard in an open field.
And I built a fence around it.
He caught me sitting and not
working one day and he told
me, 'You lazy bum. On the
next transport you're going to
be gone.'
"He kept his word. When I
left, there were probably a
hundred Jews left.'
Nussbaum said he was ship-
ped to Shebna and then to
Auschwitz at the end of 1943.
From Auschwitz he said he
was sent to about a half-dozen
concentration camps. In two of
the camps, he said his plumb-
ing skills were used and when
there was use for a person, a
life was spared or at least
"The other times, I just sur-
vived by luck."
Nussbaum now urges, "If
there are some other people
who know Schwammberger,
they should come out and
More Soviet to U.S. Visits
The number of Soviet
citizens allowed to visit
relatives in the United States
has risen substantially in the
last few months, indicating
new moves by the Soviet
Government to ease restric-
tions on travel, according to
the Commission on Security
and Cooperation in Europe.
From June through August
1987, 1,250 Soviet citizens
received private travel and
tourism visas to visit the U.S.,
compared to 550 for the same
period in 1986 and an annual
average of only 1,600
throughout most of the 1980's.
The vast majority of these
visas are for family visits.
Last July, Rudolf Kuznet-
sov, head of the Visas and
Registration Department
(OVIR) of the USSR Ministry
of Internal Affairs, stated that
restrictions on travel have
been eased under the emigra-
tion and travel law that went
into effect on January 1. He
stated that within the limits of
the rules, there is now no ceil-
ing on the number of times a
Soviet citizen can travel
abroad, except to the extent
that the Ministry of Finance
limits conversion of the
necessary hard currency.

mission to visit relatives in the

and has been lobbying for an
Optometry Program in Israel
for more than 10 years.

regular weekly session.
The ministers were briefed
by Rabin. But Rabin was at-
tacked by Commerce and In-
dustry Minister Ariel Sharon,
a Likud hardliner, who main-
tained that the problem was
not a lack of alertness at the
encampment but the absence
of "clear directives from the
political echelon to the defense
forces to wipe out terror."
Deputy Premier David Levy,
another Likud minister,
defended the defense
establishment. He said that
because of one mistake it has
been forgotten that the nor-
thern border has been sealed
and secure since Israel
withdrew its forces from
Lebanon in 1984.
Rabin himself pointed to the
relative calm on the northern
border for the past two-and-a-
half years. But he admitted it
was achieved at a high cost
21 soldiers killed, 103 wound-
ed, two kidnapped and one air
force navigator taken prisoner
after his Phantom jet crashed,
or was shot down. Rabin noted
that some 10,000 terrorists
belonging to dozens of dif-
ferent terrorist groups are
presently active in Lebanon.
Premier Yitzhak Shamir told
the Cabinet that the IDF
would soon draw the ap-
propriate conclusions from the
attack. Addressing the annual
luncheon meeting of
newspaper editors Monday,
Shamir was asked if he blamed
Syria for the attack. He
replied that Syria identified
with "this kind of terrorism,"
but would not elaborate.
Shamir complained,
however, that "even in Egypt,
voices are heard praising last
Wednesday's terror attack in

Israelis End Strike
TEL AVIV (JTA) Two seven-week strikes that in-

Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA) agreed to return to
work, capping 51 days of radio silence and television-screen
blackout. And the physicians at Kupat Holim sick-fund

The journalists' decision was apparently spurred by the
public's desire for information about the terrorist attack
last Wednesday in the Galilee.
Reagan Backs Rally
WASHINGTON (JTA) The massive rally in support
of Soviet Jewry scheduled Sunday for the National Mall is
an "impressive" way to demonstrate to the Soviet Union
the concern of Americans for this issue, a senior Reagan
administration official said Monday.
"These people are demonstrating on behalf of a cause
with which this administration, this country are deeply
committed," the official said in briefing reporters on next
week's summit meeting here between President Reagan
and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
Rejecting a suggestion that the demonstration might put
a "cloud" over the summit, the official said that instead he
expected "it to put a spotlight on this issue."
Jews from all over the country are planning to come here
for the Washington mobilization. The official said he ex-
pects the demonstration to be "dignified, orderly, but a
very impressive demonstration of concern" which is how it
will be explained to the Soviets.
"Human rights is going to figure prominently during the
summit," a second official at the White House briefing
stressed. "It is something the president of the United
States cares very deeply about."

East, asserting:
"We see stylistic changes

"We see the Soviets pushing
the international conference,

biguous on critical details. Not-

now saying publicly that the

that the Soviets are committed

will make peace more likely
and achievable."

"activism," which he said
represents "a new challenge in

Arizona Governor Now Angers Jews
PHOENIX (JTA) Arizona
Gov. Evan Mecham recently
added two logs to the political
fire burning around him, ac-
cording to the Greater
Phoenix Jeivish News.
The newspaper took the
Republican governor to task
last week in an editorial for
comments denying the separa-
tion of state he reportedly
made during a celebration of
the bicentennial of the U.S.
"(T)his is a great Christian
nation that recognizes Jesus
Christ as God of the land," thr.
governor recently told the Na-
tional Center for Constitu-
tional Studies convention in
Salt Lake City. "It is the best
place in the world for Jews,
Hindus and atheists .. and
everybody else because .
(the Constitution) is human
rights and freedom to all."
The Jewish News noted that
"Mecham obliterated the Con-
stitutional mandate for separa-
tion of church and state,
established an official 'God of
the land' ... and gave the en-
tire country a paternalistic pat
on the head for being so ac-
commodating to "Jews, Hin-
dus and atheists ..."
The constitutional studies
center is headed by his political

residence in Washington.
crony, W. Cleon Skousen, who
wrote a textbook in which
black children are described as
That speech closely followed
a Sept. 26 presentation by
Mecham to the Constitution
Awareness Conference in
Richardson, Texas. Elaine
DeRose of the Jewish News
reports that other speakers
there espoused views blaming
Jews for the nation's pro-
blems, and that anti-Semitic
materials were distributed.
Mecham denied he knew of
the anti-Semitism.
The conference was spon-
sored by the American Liberty
Association, whose list of
books reportedly includes
writing by Eustace Mullins,
described by Anti-Defamation
League of B'nai B'rith staffer
Joel Breshin as a writer and
speaker against Jews since the
The list also includes an arti-
cle published by the Lord's
Covenant Church of Phoenix
in which Jews were blamed for
foisting the 1976 Swine Flu
epidemic upon non-Jews.
Mecham's press secretary,
Ken Smith, said the governor
denied "guilt by association"
and that his talk, on the Con-
stitution, is one he regularly
He said the governor ac-
cepted the invitation to speak
from George Han sen, a former
U.S. representative from
Idaho, and that Mecham did
not attend any other talks at
the conference. Mecham con-
firmed that in a letter to the
Jewish News.
"Please rest assured," the
governor wrote, "that in no
way do I personally support,
condone or tolerate such anti-
Semitic materials."
Mecham's term has been
marked by controversy for his
cancellation of the state
celebration of Martin Luther
King Day and his political
alliances with alleged
criminals and ultra-
rightwingers. A citizens'
group has mounted a
statewide petition drive to
begin impeachment pro-
ceedings against him.

Demonstrators will travel by

students for the trip. The
event has "really struck at

Philip Perlmutter, executive
director of the JCRC of

In Kansas City, Mo., 300
people are already signed up
for spots on three chartered
tlanes. On Monday, Natan
haransky spoke at a rally
there that kicked off a week of
activity, including noon-hour
vigils and a Soviet Jewry Shab-

San Francisco is also plann-

dition to sending a delegation
to the rally. The first will be a
vigil in Union Square on Dec.
6, according to Ruthellen Har-
ris and Dan Hoffman, co-
chairs of the Bay Area Summit
Task Force.
Twenty people will travel

to July Balint, chairperson of

tion will number 11, according
to Gloria Vipullo, ad-

Foreign participants are ex-
Bected from Israel, the
letherlands, Mexico, Great

countries. Chartered flights
will leave Montreal and Toron-
to for Washington, and seats
have already been reserved by
people in Winnipeg, Van-
couver and Saskatchewan. The
Canadian Jewish Congress
estimates that 500 Canadians
will make the trip.
But while the representation
of small and distant com-
munities attests to the excite-
ment generated by the event,
mobilization organizers are
depending on the Northeast
corridor for sheer numbers.
The UJA-Federation of
Jewish Philanthropies of New
York has allocated $1 million
to produce attendance. At
least four planes will be
chartered and hundreds of
seats have been reserved on
commercial flights. Five-
hundred buses will make the
trip. The Coalition to Free

line for bus information in the
New York area.

Testimony by witnesses in

living witnesses.
Case Involving 'Living
"I wanted to impress upon
them that this is not a matter
of historical research, but a
case involving living people,"
Hier told the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency this week.
The witnesses include Sam
Nussbaum, a Kansas City
plumbing contractor who serv-
ed as Schwammberger's
plumber in the Przemysl ghet-
to, and Arnold Susskind and
Joseph Wellner, both of Forest
Hills, N.Y., who lived in
Przemysl when Schwamm-

mandant in 1942-43.
The World Jewish Congress
has also forwarded to Argen-

of Ignaz Horowitz of Brooklyn,
also a survivor of Przemysl.
Horowitz told JTA that he
was 21-years-old when
Schwammberger ordered the
executions of his entire family
in the nearby village of
Stalowa-Wola. "I was lucky to
escape," said Horowitz, who
was asked to testify against
Schwammberger during an
earlier extradition attempt by
West Germany, and who con-
tacted the WJC when he heard
of Schwammberger's arrest.
Susskink told Hier that he
was one of seven men caught
by Schwammberger as they
baked matzoh for Passover.
Schwammberger personally
executed one of the men, and
his guards emptied their rifles
into a second man as the
others, including Susskind, fl-
ed the bakery.
Said To Have Executed
Susskind said that Schwam-
mberger also ordered the ex-
ecution of Susskind's 3-year-
old son, according to Hier.
"It makes me sick
remembering all these
things," Susskind said in a
telephone interview. "But I
have no problem testifying."
As Schwammberger's
plumber, Nussbaum was pro-
bably the closest eyewitness to
Schwammberger, according to
Hier. Nussbaum not only
witnessed murders, said Hier,
but also Schwammberger's
wife pleading with the com-
mandant to put an end to the
Wellner is one of two living
witnesses to the 1942 execu-
tion of a Rabbi Frenkel of
Wieliczka. "Wellner wasn't
standing more than 20 feet
away from the gallows" when
Frenkel was hanged in Rodz-
wadow for refusing to work on
Yom Kippur, said Hier.
About his meeting with
Argentine officials, Hier said
that he thanked them for their
role in arresting Schwamm-
berger, while voicing skep-
ticism about the state of
Schwammberger's health.
Schwammberger was moved
to a prison infirmary in La
Plata last week after he said he
was having chest pains.
According to Hier, Schwam-
mberger appeared fit at his
first hearing.
"I told them to be careful
that it was not a defense ploy"
to prevent him from being sent
out of the country, said Hier.

group of Jewish activists
demonstrating Tuesday near
the Moscow emigration office,
as well as several Western
journalists covering their pro-
test, were beaten up by a
group of bystanders with the
apparent complicity of Soviet
security agents.
Four of the Jewish activists
were arrested by police and
given prison sentences rang-
ing from seven to 15 days,
while other were fined up to
$65, according to reports
reaching Soviet Jewry
organizations here.
The protest lasted no more
than three or four minutes and
ended after some 50 in-
dividuals, reportedly bused to
the scene by Soviet police,
rushed the Jewish
demonstrators, ripping
posters from their hands. The
mob also assaulted camera
crews from the ABC, CBS,
CNN and NBC television net-
works, cutting camera wires
and throwing snow on camera
Ethiopian Jews
Pride and Pain
By EDWARD SEROTTA
UJA Press Service
Tall, lanky and black, Uri
Abraham, an Ethiopian Jew
celebrating his second year in
Israel, remembers well his ar-
rival in the Holy Land. "The
first thing I saw was a man in
uniform, just like the soldiers
who shot Jews dead back in
Ethiopia. Then someone took
me by the arm, and said, 'Uri, I
want to show you something
you've never seen before: a
Jewish soldier.' And the
soldier smiled, shook my hand
and said, 'Welcome to Israel,
welcome home.' "
The Jews of Ethiopia,
persecuted by Marxists, their
farms ruined by famine, began
their quiet and treacherous ex-
odus in 1980. After 8,000 had
reached safety in Israel in
1984, the Israeli government
launched the top secret Opera-
tion Moses. Between
November 1984 and March
1985, 7,000 were airlifted from
the Sudan to Israel. But when
the story broke in the press, an
angry Sudanese government
halted the rescue. It has not
yet been allowed to resume.
Approximately 10,000 Jews
remain in Ethiopia.
Of the 15,300 Ethiopian
Jews in Israel, almost all have
family still at home. The men-
tal anguish is great, but Opera-
tion Moses is a story of
remarkable progress.
"The first thing we learn-
ed," said Morton Dolinsky of
the Jewish Agency's Immigra-
tion and Absorption Depart-
ment, "is whatever you
thought you could take for
granted, you couldn't. These
are people who had never seen
a door, a faucet. You see, when
you tell someone class begins
at 8, you have to tell them how
to use a clock. But are they
ever fast learners ..."
Although the majority of
Ethiopian men had never even
seen a metal tool before, the
Amishav Agency set up
technical schools to teach
plumbing, wood-working, and
machine work, placing 2,000
men in factory jobs, and scores
of women in nursing. Young
men are now serving in the
Israeli Army. Many have
already been absorbed into the
general society.
Hofim, an educational center
for Ethiopian children, funded
largely by the UJA/Federation
Campaign, was established
with everything from
kindergartens to computers.
Rabbi Nachum Cohen, its
director, says, "We have 94
boys in their early 20s. Our
goal is simple to provide
2,000 years of technical train-
ing and make them job-
marketable in 24 months. And
they work harder than anyone
I've ever seen. They know
what they've left behind. And
we know Operation Moses is,
for us, ongoing. They have
great pride, these Ethiopians,
but there will be pain for years
to come."

Adriana and Anita, the
Sorelle Sisters will be appear-
ing at Temple Emeth, Del ray
Beach the evening of Sunday,
Dec. 6, 8 p.m. as the central at-
traction of their celebrated
Sorelle Sisters Show of Shows
Production. The sisters were
born in the industrial city of
Turin, Italy and at an early age
they studied music at the Con-
servator of the Italian Radio
Television Studios in Turin.
Then they moved to Rome
where they performed all over
Europe. In the United States
they have appeared with a
number of "stars" including a
series of performances with
Bob Hope.
Typical of the character and
personality of the people
where they were born, they
have combined the elegance of
their training and their con-
tinental style to construct
their show, and today it has
evolved into a full production
where you can discover the
land, scenes, and songs of your
ancestral heritage; enjoying an
enchanting and delightful
evening. The girls repertory is
full of warm and tender love
songs and includes music from
disco, country, and pop all the
way to the classics. They have
a genuine love and apprecia-
tion for the music that plays
such an important part of their
lives and they produce and
write their own material. So
their stagework is a reflection
of their own personalities and
not just a product of someone
else's imagination.
The entire production in-
cludes a giant 200 square foot
rear-view screen combined
with spectacular lighting and
visual effects plus synchroniz-
ed live music played by their
musicians. The Sorelle Show of
Shows is produced, direct y\
and emcee d by Duane Matson
and is the culmination of
several years of working the
theatrical and concert circuit.

this world have such privilege.
It was a gala, thrilling affair.

the opportunity of reviewing
their vows and relive the
memorable day of 50 years

December Holidays
Discussed On Radio
Interfaith Dialogue
The ideas and practices con-
nected with Chanukah and
Christmas are discussed on the
radio program called "Parson
to Parson," aired every Sun-
day at 6:45 a.m. on both
outlets of WEAT, West Palm
Beach, 850/AM and 104/FM.
The discussants are Dr. John
Mangrum, rector of St.
David's in the Pines Episcopal
Church, West Palm Beach,
and Rabbi Samuel Silver, Tem-
ple Sinai, Delray Beach.
The background of
Chanukah, which com-
memorates the first struggle
for religious freedom in
history was delineated by Dr.
Mangrum, who points out that
the story is told in the post-
Biblical Books of the Mac-
cabees. In the interfaith
dialogue, the rabbi asks the
rector whether her is troubled
by the "commercialization of
Christmas." In his response,
Dr. Mangrum says that since
the so-called commercializa-
tion involves the giving of gifts
and reflects a heightened spirit
of goodwill in the air, it doesn't
trouble him. He calls it a
season of "the Christianization
of commercialism."

Reform Jewish Women Mark Diamond Jubilee
By Confronting New Challenges To Judaism
CHICAGO The National
Federation of Temple
Sisterhoods, representing
100,000 Reform Jewish
Women, launched its diamond
jubilee year last week with a
backward glance at past
achievements and a forward
look at new challenges to be
faced in strengthening the
Jewish family, the synagogue
and the community.
The 75th anniversary
celebration came during the
national convention of NFTS,
the women's agency of the
Union of American Hebrew
Congregations, which met in
Chicago with some 1,000
delegates from Sisterhoods in
the U.S., Canada, Brazil,
South Africa and Europe.
Tributes and Honors
There were tributes from
Gerald Kass, executive vice
president of the Jewish Braille
Institute of America, which
NFTS founded, and from the
Hebrew Union College-Jewish
Institute of Religion, whose
president, Dr. Alfred Gott-
schalk, told of the "invaluable
and enduring contribution" to
the training of Reform rabbis
made by NFTS over the years.
Special favorites were
Steven Derringer, president of
the North American federa-
tion of Temple Youth, with
which NFTS has special ties;
and Rabbi Richard Hirsch, ex-
ecutive director of the World
Union for Progressive
Judaism, who hailed the role of
the NFTS in helping provide
funds for the vast new Reform
Jewish complex in Jerusalem
and for the moral and financial
support it gives to Reform kib-
butzim, schools and other
centers in Israel.
There were honors awards
to Sisterhoods that had launch-
ed innovative programs of ser-
vice to the Jewish community
and the community-at-large.
This year the Or Ami (light of
the People) Award for Special
Achievement went to Con-
gregation B'rith Shalom
Sisterhood, Prescott, Ariz;
B'nai Israel Sisterhood,
Sacramento, Calif.; Temple
Beth El Sisterhood, Boca
Raton, Fla.; Central
Synagogue of New York,
N.Y.; Temple Israel's
Sisterhood in Memphis, Tenn.;
and Temple Beth El
Sisterhood, 40 members
strong, in Odessa, Tex.
There were honors for
outstanding accomplishments
in the NFTS Youth, Education
and Special Project (YES)
Fund Campaign, and a special
tribute to the 51 Sisterhoods
that came together nearly 75
years ago as founders of the
National Federation of Temple
But as the president of
NFTS, Dolores Wilkenfeld of
Houston, Tex., took the
podium, it was clear that what
lay ahead was the real business
oi the convention.
What's Going To Happen To
The Synagogue?
Mrs. Wilkenfeld was candid
about some of the problems
confronting Sisterhoods
across the country "so many
women working, so many
single-parent households, so
many women new to Judaism,
so many opportunities for
women and pressures on
The real question, she said,
was "not what's going to hap-
pen to Sisterhoods? but what's
going to happen to our con-
gregations and to Judaism?"
she continued. "All the factors
that tend to pull women away
from Sisterhood also tend to
pull them away from their
synagogues and their faith.
The woman who is too tired to

"I'm talking about the need

Mrs. Wilkenfeld continued:
"I'm talking about offering the
woman who has chosen
Judaism not just a year of
'Outreach' but a lifetime of liv-
ing Jewishly and about sur-

married out of Judaism with a
support group of women who
can help her maintain her

"I'm talking about telling
the woman who is not married
that she is more than a 'single,'
and that she can be part of a
community of women. I'm
talking about showing women
who do have time in their lives
how to use that time mean-

"In sum, we must get back
to the business of serving our
congregations because they
need us and Judaism needs
us. But to do it we must have
the participation of every
woman in the congregation

Drafting Table

"It's always more fun to eat in a bar than drink in a restaurant," said Ciji Wagner, who pulls double duty as the chef and manager of this newish Logan Circle spot."It's always more fun to eat in a bar than drink in a restaurant," said Ciji Wagner, who pulls double duty as the chef and manager of the Drafting Table, located on one of the busiest and fastest growing streets in DC. And after meeting friends here several times, we know she's on to something. Decked out like an artsy architect's workplace, the drinks and the food go hand in hand, or more appropriately, fork or glass to mouth. While the burger is the most popular foodstuff on the menu (for good reason—it's cooked to order and topped with blue cheese, apricot chutney, onion jam and one of Ciji's famous 64-degree eggs if you ask for it), don't shy away from some of the more foodie-centric items on the list. The "duck pancake" grilled cheese is a culinary creation of epically rich proportions. "The name comes from a Korean dish called a duck pancake," said Ciji, which means if the American buttermilk image crossed your mind, forget about it. This sammie comes housed in buttery grilled bread and is chock full of creamy cheese, succulent duck and lots of Korean spices. Paired with a pint off the rotating draft list, we can't think of a more fun and relaxed way to enjoy this creative take on comfort food.

Atmospheric Sciences & Global Change
Research Highlights
January 2014
Understanding Carbon's Past and Future
Quantifying the human influence on the carbon cycle
Cutting down forests for cropland or pasture has an impact on climate. Understanding the amount of carbon stored in forests and croplands before modern-day agricultural practices took hold is important to quantify the impacts of past carbon emissions and to better grasp future changes. Enlarge Image. Image courtesy :Duncan, ©2007 Creative Commons license.
Results: Burning fossil fuels grabs the spotlight for liberating carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. But cutting and converting forests to cropland and pasture commands second place and the magnitude of these changes are not well known. A new analysis by scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory shows that estimates of past carbon releases are directly related to the amount of carbon assumed to be stored in forests and soils before large-scale human land-clearing. In addition, their analysis included a new data-based estimate of past crop productivity.
"Incorporating estimates of the much lower crop productivity in the past substantially increased historical emission estimates," said Dr. Steven J. Smith, a senior researcher at PNNL who works on the climate-human connection at the Joint Climate Change Research Institute (JGCRI) in Maryland. "In this analysis, we captured the impact of low crop productivity before the 'green revolution' of the 20th century, when modern agricultural technologies dramatically boosted food production."
JGCRI is a partnership between PNNL and the University of Maryland.
Why It Matters: At the scientific level, there is a lot of computational energy invested in understanding our climate. A large range of possible answers about past emissions from land-use change directly translates into uncertainty of how land ecosystems will respond to future changes in land-use, climate and carbon dioxide concentrations. It's important to improve these estimates of past human influences on the atmosphere to better predict the future impacts.
Methods: This study used the G-Carbon model, which employs a set of simple carbon box models to represent carbon flows within and between ecosystems in 14 world regions. The model is driven by globally gridded data on historical and future land-use transitions as well as satellite data that show current vegetation cover.
The research in this paper found that differences in the terrestrial carbon content as derived from climate and ecosystem models translate directly into differences in modeled values for future carbon flows. They also found that models may produce inaccurate results when they do not include realistic estimates of past cropland productivity changes.
What's Next? The researchers have completed additional, more detailed work examining the role of carbon in cropland soils and the impact of specific assumptions for cropland management. Next, they will examine the impact of land-use assumptions on probabilistic estimates of carbon-cycle model parameters.
Sponsors: Primary support was provided by a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) grant. Additional support came from the Global Change Technology Program (GTSP).

I liked this book so much because its adventerous and has you on the edge of your seat. It's basically about theres this thing called the hunger games and they select one boy and one girl from each district (theres 12). They will fight each other in the arena but 24 go in and 1 comes out as a winner.

Despite having spent the Eighties and Nineties pushing the boundaries of electronic music with Psychic TV and other projects, John Gosling shows no sign of letting up any time soon. Known these days as Mekon, his fourth album Piece of Work is a riotous explosion, ranging from ear-worm electro-pop to grinding industrial but always maintaining its freshness and fervour. United by a consistently industrial sound, the album conjures euphoria and despair equally effectively.
Whilst most recent 'dark' electronic records rely on ferocious bass and sub-bass to create their tension and portentous atmosphere, Piece of Work whips up its doom-laden vibe with the help of older, industrial tricks. First single 'Bin Therrre' is a case in point, with its relentless chop-change synths building into grinding, glitchy techno. Elsewhere the aptly named 'Disco Bloodbath' is as Patrick Bateman-channelling as you would expect, all Hitchcockian strings and hi-hat rolls, before it plunges into disconcerting, demanding techno, reminiscent of the Fake Blood's more cinematic tracks.
But it's not all gloom and dancey dancey doom. Mekon keeps the record carefully balanced, as well as interestingly varied, by including bursts of outright joy, ambience, and neo-classicism alongside the darker tracks. Over the smooth electro-pop groove of opener 'When I Was Walt Whitman', a lazily self-assured voice sighs, "When I was Walt Whitman, boy, you should have fucking seen me", as the backing synths ascend higher and higher. It's insidious, smug, and one hell of a start. No less euphoric is the Balearic 'No Business I Know', which swoons and shimmers like a minimal version of Jacques Lu Cont's 'Church' with added big-beat, Orbital-esque propulsive drops. Best of all is the Cleo Torrez featuring 'Kicks'; blasting drums and spacey pitch-bent synths form a rousing backing as Cleo gives an M.I.A.-like turn of epic, meaningless, cool. The first line, "So raise your sunglasses with authority off the bridge of your nose, stop making a killing", spat in her distinctive, Maxi Jazz accented vocals, says it all.
A master of the collaborative approach, Mekon's well chosen guest vocalists only enhance his carefully crafted instrumentals. Torrez's other guest slot, on 'Wasted Mind', sees her producing Kim Deal worthy wails alternated with languid rap over sleazy new wave beats, whilst Marco Pirroni (of Adam and the Ants) and Schooly D's contribution to 'Hardcore' provides retro gangsta rap and punk funk in equal measure over the grimey looping synths. It's Rita Brown who gets the last word though, spitting in filthy perfection, "We were Franciscan nuns, we had it off with scum" on the excellent 'Ravageable' – a new filthy-electro playmate for Soulwax's 'Fuck The Pain Away' remix.
A 35 minute rollercoaster ride, Piece of Work will leave you raving and craving for more. Much like his old contemporaries Orbital and Wonky, Mekon has managed the clever trick of staying true to his Nineties roots, whilst simultaneously sounding vital and relevant. In the mercurial ever-changing world of electro, that's no mean feat.

Converting you to Conversion Rate Optimisation and… The new Facebook Pages explored
Thursday 14th April at 7.30am for 8am
Tigerlily, George Street, Edinburgh.
"There's two ways to increase website sales: get more people coming to the site, or simply make better use of those coming to the site already"
This month the New Media Breakfast is going to focus on the second way! "Converting" more visitors into sales (or leads or donations or subscribers) is less expensive than you would imagine and delivers rapid returns.
Kiril Bunin from Attacat Internet Marketing will, in his unique Russian style, introduce you to the processes behind the growing specialism known as Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) including:
- User testing on a shoestring
- Analytics beyond Google Analytics
- Getting direct feedback from prospects and customers
- The science of split testing
He will then illustrate the power of CRO to you with case studies highlighting both common and more subtle conversion roadblocks and mistakes.
To finish, Kiril will do a live review of your website* giving you pointers and showing you where you may be losing visitors. If you'd like to volunteer your site get in touch with fatBuzz (Priority will be given to those registered on the New Media Breakfast website)
*whilst stocks last
Expect straight talking and be prepared to make some changes to your websites afterwards!
