Budget battles call for political action, Washington rep tells locals AJW Staff Report With budget battles waging on Capitol Hill, the time has come for Jewish Federations to become politically involved, according to the director of the Washington Action Office of the Council of Jewish Federations. The battle over the budget is by no means over, said Diana Aviv, who spoke last week at the 65th annual meeting of the Minneapolis Federation for Jewish Service, held at the Minneapolis Jewish Community Center. Federations have left the business of bi-partisan political involvement (to others). The time has come for us to get involved on this level. Aviv, a former associate executive vice chair at the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council, noted that in the next fiscal By NAOMI SEGAL JERUSALEM (JTA) The defection of two high-ranking members of Iraqi leader Saddam Husseins regime suggests that something is rotten in the land of Iraq, according to a leading Israeli authority on that country. Two of Husseins sons-in-Jaws recently defected to Jordan, where they were immediately granted political asylum. One of the defectors, Lt. Gen. Hussein Kamel Hassan, was the head of Iraqs weapons programs and was responsible for die development of Iraqs arms industry, particularly chemical and biological weapons, in the run-up to the 1991 Persian Gulf War. year, the largest budget cuts will come from non-defense spending programs. The Federation system, which raises and allocates monies for a variety of Jewish communal agencies and programs, has expanded its services over the years as state and federal dollars were made available. Our programs are not possible without a base of public support, said the South African native. One recent survey found that Federations nationwide depend on federal funds to the tune of $3.72 billion. Fifty percent of our agencies budgets come from government funding, she said. There can be no doubt about the impact of government funding cuts. Charity cannot make up the difference, Aviv argued. Individuals would have to increase their average individual charitable contributions He was considered the second most powerful man in Iraq after Hussein, and his defection spurred speculation that a campaign was under way to depose Saddam Hussein. Because family was Husseins main supporting column, this means his circle of supporters is disintegrating, Amatzia Baram, a professor of Middle Easthistory at Haifa University, told Israel Radio. Hassan was also a key figure in Iraqs dealings with a U.N. commission charged with overseeing the dismantlement of the Iraqi war machine. His defection left future Iraqi-U.N. dealings in doubt. by a whopping 236 percent to make up for the projected budget cuts, she claimed. Also at the meeting, the Minneapolis Federation announced total 1995-96 allocations of $10,657,670. The amount going for Israel and overseas through the United Jewish Appeal comes to $5,287,500, with a 5.5 percent increase in allocations for local agencies and programs. More money will be going to the Jewish Community Relations Council ($207,990) to replace the loss of funding from the Anti-Defamation League. In addition, two new national agencies have been added to the list of programs supported by the Federation: the New Israel Fund, which promotes a number of social service programs'in Israel; and Mazon, a Jewish response to hunger. Two local agencies will soon be added as beneficiaries as well: the B nai B rith Youth Organization and the Jewish Historical Society of theUpper Midwest. Outgoing Central Planning and Budgeting Committee Chair Harlee Goldstein said the increased local needs were a result of the increase in Jewish population. New Federation officers include: President Charles Barry; Vice Presidents Allan Baumgarten, Neil Lapidus, Barry Effress, Charles Selcer, Treasurer T om Sanders; Secretary Sanford Goldberg; and Financial Secretary Michael Horovitz. Elected to the board for a second three-year term were Lori Fritz, Matthew Heilicher, JimMoscowitz, Leonard Ribnick and Robert Strauss. Elected for their first three-year term were Maureen Davis, Sanford Goldberg, Ann Rockier Jackson, Steven Ross, Steven Schachtman and Julie Sinykin.

Saddams grip weakens with defections Opinion/ A Editorial i Twin Cities Calendar Social 9 Obituaries/ # Classified | J Notes I Torah Thought Listings 11 VOICE OF MINNESOTA JEWRY PAGE 2 AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD AUGUST 18, 1995 A the Ancient Bible completes its long exodus from Syria * aq\\ V Orthodox Jews in Holland protest ads against AIDS NEW YORK (JTA) One of the worlds oldest known Bibles has been brought back to Israel, smuggled page by page by Jewish immigrants from Syria, an Israeli newspaper recently reported. The Aleppo Codex, known as the Keter Aram Tsova in Hebrew, was written inTiberias about 1,000 years ago. It is the first known Bible produced in book form and not on scrolls, said biblical scholar Menachem Cohen of Bar-Ilan University in Ramat Gan. It is also considered the most au- thoritative and grammatically perfect copy of the Old Testament in existence, Cohen said. The book is believed to have been seized in Jerusalem by 12th-century crusaders and sold to Jews in Alexandria, Egypt, whereMaimonides is said to have studied it while composing some of his most important works. It subsequently found its way to the Jewish community of Aleppo in northern Syria. The Jews there apparently guarded the book zealously, rarely allowing outsiders to see the parchment. About two-thirds of it AMSTERDAM (JTA) Some Jews here have voiced *;pj opposition to an advertisement campaign against AIDS. A poster depicts a nude black man and a white woman, who is in her underwear and is holding a condom. In the ad, the woman is saying to the man: If you put something on, I take something off. Dutch health minister Elizabeth Borst said she would not take any steps to thwart the campaign. The minister said public health is more important than some people feeling offended. The freedom of choice is a very important right to me, Borst said. For the cause of public health we need to have an open eye for people who like to have changing sexual contacts. Anonymous Orthodox Jews, who found the poster in a bus shelter in front of an Amsterdam synagogue, put a sticker over the nude bodies with a text promoting monogamy between husband and wife. The Central Israelite Consistoire for the Benelux, the umbrella body for Jewish groups in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, filed a complaint at the district attorneys office in Amsterdam. French officials book results in charge of racial incitement PARIS (JTA) A r French official will appear before a court here in September on charges that his book contains language that will incite hatred of Arabs, Jews and blacks. Jean de Boishue, secretary of state in charge of universities, published Suburb My Love in May. The book is full of totally racist ideas freely expressed, said the lawyers of both SOS-Racisme, the nationally known association fighting against racism, and a young West Indian man living in Bretigny, a Paris suburb. In a chapter titled TheNew Castaways, de Boishue writes about the travels of a Jewish couple, Vital and Louise, who constantly are on the move. Of Vital, also called the Wandering Jew, de Boishue writes that he was perpetuating the fate of his forebears, that his six brothers and sisters were already colonizing all the planet and that ifhechose Paris, it was because in a real city there is always some space for a merchant; for a Jew there will always be a street belonging to Jews. HANUKA IN JULY A child in Saraj evo received a toy, part of a large donation from the Boston Jewish community, sponsored by the Boston chapter of the American Jewish Congress and from the Greenhills School in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The toys were distributed in Sarajevo by the AmericanJewishJointDistribution Committee. (Photo: JDC.) 295 pages was smuggled into Israel under still mysterious circumstances in the 1950s. For decades, Jews were not allowed to emigrate from Syria. Only in the past few years, after the Middle East peace process began, did Syrian President Hafez Assad allow the Jews to leave. As a result, recent Syrian Jewish immigrants reportedly brought the missing pages of the Bible to Israel. Jewish Agency to boost efforts to bring Ukrainian Jews to Israel By JOSEPH MILLIS London Jewish Chronicle LONDON (JTA) The head of operations for the Jewish Agency for Israel in the former Soviet Union has said the organization would increase its efforts to bring Jews from Ukraine to Israel. Ukraine has the largest emigration potential for the whole of the former Soviet Union. With its 500,000 Jews, it is home to the fifth-largest Jewish population in the world, Chaim Chesler, the head emissary in the former Soviet Union, said in an interview here. Chesler recently was in London as a guest of the Joint Israel Appeal, British Jewrys main fundraising body for Israel. The hardships there are enormous. The monthly salary is about $20 to $30, Chesler said of life in Ukraine, adding, We are now putting most of our efforts into getting the Jews out of there. List of Jews kept by police Holocaust education spreads in Japan with museum opening NEW YORK (JTA) Some Czech Jewish leaders have been disturbed about reports that the Communist- era secret police here compiled a list of about 10,000 members of the Jewish community, according to a report in the London Jewish Chronicle. Transitions, Inc.: Elder Care Consulting Carla MacGregor, MSW 1121 Douglas Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55403 612-377-1865 Assessment Counseling Resource Referral Long-Term Planning The secret police, known as the StB, created the list under the guise of Operation Spider, which started in the 1970s and grew in the 1980s. But for others, the new reports came as no surprise. The StB had a special department to deal with Zionism and the Jewish community, Jiri Danicek of the Federation of Jewish Communities in Prague was quoted as saying by the Jewish Chronicle. Every Jew was under suspicion, at the very least because he belonged to an international community and his natural interests were deemed not to correspond with those of the socialist state, he added. NEW YORK (JTA) Fifty years after atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan is remembering not only J apanese victims of the war, but Jewish victims as well. T wo months after the opening of the first Holocaust museum in Japan, an exhibit on Anne Frank opened in Hiroshima. Although the Holocaustand the dropping of the atomic bomb are separate phenomena, they are nonetheless two watershed events that emerged from the second world war, said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Los Angeles-based-Simon Wiesenthal Center. It is an appropriate time for the world to pause and remember the innocent, he added. Cooper, who has been educat-' ing the Japanese about the Holocaust and the Jews, will attend the opening of the exhibition about Anne Frank and the Holocaust. LIGHT CANDLES 7:56 P.M.

World Conference on Women are anticipating many challenges but being buffeted by anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism is not one of them. The conference of U.N. member states will take place Sept. 4-15 in Beijing. Jewish delegates also will attend the Non-Governmental Organizations Forum 95, which will run Aug. 30-Sept. 8 in Huairou, a town 30 miles north of the capital. Delegates have been warned by the U.S. State Department, as well as human rights groups and feminist organizations, to use caution when talking to Chinese delegates attending the conference and forum and to not say anything that could be viewed as critical of the Chinese government. But for the first time in the history of the U.N. conferences on women, it is anticipated that Palestinian and Arab friction with Israelis and Diaspora Jews will take a back seat to attention to violations of womens and human rights in the host country itself. In all of the governmental preparatory meetings for the conference during the past year there was no overt anti-Semitism and no resolutions attacking Israel, said Jessica Lieberman of the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council. She said the changed climate stems largely from the Arab-Israeli peace process and the repeal by the United Nations of its infamous Zionism Equals Racism resolution. This time, American Jewish delegates said that their goals for the meetings are networking with women from around the world and supporting issues that are not specifically Jewish, such as womens health, education and economic status. It was at the first U.N. Conference on Women, held in 1975 in Mexico City, that Zionism was equated with racism for the first time in any U.N. forum. Palestinians hijacked the proceedings, according to Letty Cottin Pogrebin, a co-founder of Ms. magazine. She will attend the events in China as a representative of the Ms. Foundation and the NJCRAC. A few months after Mexico City, equating Zionism with racism was validated by the U.N. General Assembly. The resolution was rescinded in 1991. At the second conference on women, in Copenhagen in 1980, anti-Semitism was very, very strong in the air, said Harris Schoenberg, director for U.N. affairs for Bnai Brith International. Every workshop was a horror in Copenhagen, said Shirley Joseph, a veteran Jewish lay leader who attended that conference and will be in China representing the NJCRAC. The official plan of action that came out of Copenhagen included the Zionism equals racism equation. As aresult, theUnited States, Canada and Australia refused to sign onto the document, Joseph said. At the last conference on women, in Nairobi in 1985, anti-Zionism almost forced its collapse. Groups of Palestinian Arabs would run from one meeting to another, disrupt it totally, raise their issue and run to the next meeting at the Nairobi forum for non-govem-mental observers, said Schoenberg, who was at the gathering. At the diplomatic gathering in Nairobi, attended by representatives of U.N.-member governments, delegates from the Soviet Union and Iran were trying to include condemnations of Zionism in the official conference document, he said. A walkout by American, Canadian and European delegations was narrowly averted, and the conferences final document was free from anti-Zionist sentiment. No one expects the same deep divisiveness in China, said the del- ft was at the first U.N. Conference on Women, held in 1975 in Mexico City, that Zionism was equated with racism.

All forecasts are that anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism wont be such a real threat at this conference, so we have a chance to make some real progress, Lieberman said. Still, American Jewish delegates are doing their best to prepare in case they find anti-Jewishbias at the meetings, and they have met several times in recent months. In March, American Jewish delegates met with members of the Israeli delegation in New York to discuss their common concerns. In addition to the NJCRAC, more than 100 American Jewish delegates to the China conference, most of them women, are representing Jewish communal organizations, including the American Jewish Committee, American Jewish Congress, BnaiBrith,Hadassah,theNational Council of Jewish Women, Womens American ORT, Womens League for Conservative Judaism and Women of Reform Judaism. When we get there we plan to have a meeting to which we will invite all the Jewish women who we have made contact with so that we can see each other, the NJCRACs Joseph said. | Israel considers jellyfish sales | JERUSALEM (JTA) Jellyfish, the bane of Israeli bathers, may yet i become a national moneymaker.

It is a magnificent and impressive structure and we congratulate the congregation on the fine effort and the speed with which their dream became a reality. We wish them many fruitful years of service to the community from their new Minnetonka base. By American and certainly Minneapolitan standards, Adath Jeshurun is a relative late-comer to the suburbs. The post-World War II building boom and expansion/flight (depending on your view) to the suburbs influenced synagogues and churches throughout the country. There was much discussion among the congregants about leaving its urban home for the past 60 years to make the move west. Most members feel the debate made them a stronger congregation. But now that the congregation is further west, they still must face east. East: as a house of God, they must face Jerusalem. And for more local concerns, there are still growing social problems to their east, in Minneapolis and spreading to St. Louis Park and other first-tier suburbs. While all eyes are looking west to the shiny new facility, all of us must be more sensitive to the issues shaping our surrounding cities. As for the building itself, synagogue officials are correct when they say that it is nothing more than bricks and mortar. The difference between a synagogue and a congregation is the people, the spirit, the warmth, support and striving for a unified goal. We wish Adath Jeshurun much luck in their on-going mission of teaching Torah, doing mitzvot, acts of loving kindness and likkun olam. Essex The elusive Finest Hour of American Jewry A shtetl troubadour in the pre-Holocaust era sang: They tell me Every human being has allotted seven good years. Where are mine? And if not seven let there be one. Churchill coined the phrase of the Finest Hour when he spoke of Britains battle against German barbarism. There probably is such a Finest Hour to be found in the history of many nations. It is a historic moment that defined and colored the journey and character of apeople. Nations are nurtured by such moments. Generations are inspired by memories centered around such Finest Hours. As we approach the end of the second millennium, historians will turn to the past in search of such Finest Hours, of defining moments that molded the character of nations and communities. Jewish historians will have a field day. A people with a long history, dispersed abroad in many lands, affected by diverse spiritual climates, confronted by brutal darkness, blinded by strong lights, singed by strange fires had to have many Finest Hours to reach the gate of the 21st century. We shall leave this task to historians. My question, though, is inspired by the folk singer from the shtetl. They tell me there is a Finest Hour to be found in the history of nations and communities. Where is the Finest Hour of American Jewry to be found? Let me give you a few examples that will illustrate what I mean. As the long and dark Jewish exile began, as Jerusalem was destroyed, Yohanan Ben-Zakkai accepted defeat but asked for permission to establish a yeshiva, a school of learning in a small village of Yavneh. Yavneh was the beginning of a tradition that nurtured 2,000 years of Jewish history. It was the Finest Hour in our long exile. In a forlorn village of Medzibozh in Ukraine, a child was bom to a poverty-stricken Jewish family. This child Israel became the Besht who founded the Hassidic movement. The 18th century Hassidism brought joy, heart, new meaning to a stagnated Judaism and became the Finest Hour that defined the existence of Eastern European Jewry. In 1897 in Basel, Switzerland, Dr. Theodor Herzl proclaimed to the world that world Jewry intends to return to its ancient homeland Palestine. He founded a new movement called Zionism, calling upon Jews to join hands in a historic undertaking to establish aNational Jewish Home. This was the Finest Hour in modem Jewish history, an hour/ event that gave Tikvah (Hope) to a despondent people after the Dreyfus era. The uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto, with its heroic and tragic end, was such a Finest Hour in the dark Holocaust era. Modem Israel is rich with such Fine Hours: 1948, Entebbe, the first plane of redeemed Jews from the Soviet Union arriving in Tel Aviv. These are the moments of which the Finest Hours are constructed. And now, I repeat the question: Where and when did American Jewry produce such aFinest Hour, an inspiring moment that might beautify the history of our community, inspire our young, nurture our future? Yes, we campaigned, we solicited pledges, we organized, we displayed generosity, we proclaimed We Are One and all this will be remembered and duly recorded. But the shining moment, the single great event that shall be recognized as the Finest Hour of American Jewry remains elusive. Is it possible that such a moment is still to be a part of our future in this land? I doubt it. How about you? tters Thanks from Adath On behalf of the entire Adath Jeshurun Congregation, I want to thank the American Jewish World for the coverage of the dedication of our new synagogue. We appreciate your assistance in helping the entire Twin Cities Jewish community share in our joy. We also wish to extend our sincere appreciation to the entire community for the support and well wishes that we have received. This is especially true for the Minneapolis Talmud Torah, the Jewish Community Center of Greater Minneapolis, and our sister congregations. For two years, the Adath operated without a permanent home. We could not have done it without your cooperation, kindness and generosity. For that, we are truly grateful. Steven Krikava Dedication Weekend Steering Committee Better luck to library It is, of course, good news to hear that another attempt is being made to establish a Russian-language Judaic library (7-21-95 AJW). Let me stress why I use another. In 1985, whenlwas on Sabbatical at Tel Aviv University and was then incoming chair of the Soviet Jewry Committee for the JCRC, I met Tzvee Netzer, then chair of Aliyah Press. Netzer was well known for his efforts for Soviet Jewry. I arranged for the Soviet Jewry Committee to purchase 135 volumes of Judaic literature translated into Russian for a Soviet-Jewish immigrant library at the Minneapolis JCC. However, the books were catalogued at the JCC library, and over the next five years proceeded to disappear, one by one. This was probably a mixture of absence of responsibility by those who took out the books, and due to the fact that the JCC library then, and now, has no serious monitoring system. It is relief to know that the new library will have a home at the Talmud Torah. Maybe what remains of the JCC library should also be sent over to Talmud Torah and the room can be used for something meaningful.

American kosher laws under attack Shechita and its myriad laws are constantly under attack from the animal-rights extremists who can barely conceal Judeopathy under the thin guise of kindness to animals. Now the related matter of thekashrut of meat is being threatened by none other than Uncle Sam. The 7-28-95 AJW article detailed the USDAs proposed new regulations regarding the treatment of meat in slaughterhouses and how it will adversely impact the soaking and salting of kosher meat. The proposal would require that all meat and poultry be washed in an anti-microbial solution and behandled, stored and shipped at a temperature below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Personally, I dont want to eat any food thats been doused with a government specified chemical, do you? This is the same USD A that has approved aspartame, rat hairs, insect parts, tree rosin and wood chips for inclusion in our food products. One could say that the regulations are being developed with the best of intentions, i.e. to prevent illness from meat. If the recent tragic incidents of meat related illness and death are truthfully examined, it will be found that stupidity and laziness in preparation were what facilitated the attack of the microbes. Although Jews salt meat because G-d commanded the removal of blood, we are given the practical benefit that sodium chloride is a highly effective anti-microbial solution and is essential for most diets. I never became ill from the meat that my mother kashered in her kitchen, which was free from USD A inspectors and the already staggering array of rules and regs. On the obvious, secular level, more regulations by an overreaching bureaucracy only serve to hinder businesses in a free-market economy, limit competition and destroy jobs. This is a prime example of the federal government trying to protect people from their own mistakes. From a Jewish perspective, these rules are unnecessarily intrusive and should be seen as an attack on our religion, albeit possibly not an intentional one. It is germane to recall the words of the previous LubavitcherRebbe, J.I. Schneersohn, ashewas leaving for Spalemo Prison in Soviet Russia in 1927: We must proclaim openly that wherever our religion, our Torah, and its commandments are concerned, no one can tell us what to do, no power of coercion must be used against us. If you think that losing kosher hot dogs is a trivial matter, think of what could be next. Paul S.

AUGUST 18, 1995 AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD PAGE 5 Ribbons cut, trumpets herald dedication of Adath Jeshurun building By MARSHALL HOFFMAN Managing Editor Now that they have pews to pack, members of Adath Jeshurun Congregation packed the pews in their new sanctuary at dedication ceremonies this past Sunday for the opening of their new $10.4 million building in Minnetonka. It feels really wonderful, said the congregations Rabbi Harold Kravitz. Its an extraordinary moment in the life of this community and the life of this congregation. We look forward to many wonderful years serving this community. During ceremonies, the congregations senior rabbi, Rabbi Barry Cytron, noted that the building can transform a congregation of Jews into a Jewish congregation. May we make this building a sanctuary, he said, preceding a fanfare of trumpets, which in turn preceded the ceremony of affixing a mezuza to the sanctuary doors. Associate Building Committee Chair Scott Bader said it has been a fantastic three years forme. Its been personally enriching and fulfilling. I realized how much apart of the Adath community Ive become. Architecture and Building Chair Irene Bartram thanked the 300 volunteers who assisted in the buildings completion. Today, we give the building to you, your children and their children so that they may find (joy and) comfort here. She was presented with a plaque by New Building Steering Committee Co-Chair Mel Orenstein for her nearly three years of volunteer efforts in coordinating the building efforts. I hope your reward will be in every time you walk into this building, Orenstein told her. Fundraising Co-Chair Jules Levin, who worked with Dan Heilicher to raise close to $ 10 million (much of that from five families), said the congregation will have a small mortgage. But its just unbelievable that weve raised that much money from a small number of people. The synagogues original budget was $7.5 million, then $8.5 million and lastly $10.5, and thats it, said Levin. Ive never seen anything carried off so well, and with such enthusiasm of all the people involved. And while its a first-class building, its very down-to-earth and livable. It doesnt look like a huge structure, its a haimishe-typc thing. Adath J eshurun President N orman Pink called the dedication a great honor and a great moment in my life. The honor of building a building is to be savored not only today but for all the days to come. Someday, Pink said, congregants will appreciate the visionaries of yesterday who made this dream a reality of today, a reference to synagogue officials who bought the Minnetonka acreage close to three decades ago. A commissioned art piece done by local multi-media artist Renanah Halpem was also presented at the ceremonies, which art consultant Sharon Zweigbaum called a masterful and poetic gift to our congregation. Past Adath President Joyce Orbuch was also pleased with the new structure. Now, its about filling it with people and programs and noise. Cantor Scott Buckner called the sanctuary acoustics wonderful and said he has never been a part of anything as exciting. The commitment and work put into this inspired me. Thats one thing that inspired me to move here (from the East Coast) was the vibrancy, warmth and commitment of this congregation. Its the beginning of many good things. In the synagogues library, librarian Marilyn Burstein called it a librarians fantasy with an inviting atmosphere and beautiful lighting. Many of her suggestions were incorporated into the design, she noted. There should be a nice place for members to read, she argued, because were people of the book. Rabbi Kassel Abelson, emeritus of Beth El Synagogue, said the building was magnificent and worthy of the congregation that will occupy it. A number of politicians also attended the ceremonies. The synagogue really penetrates the soul, said U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone, whose father was welcomed as a member of Adath Jeshurun at a time of familial burial needs. Half the building Shown clockwise from the top at the dedication ceremonies for the new Adath Jeshurun Synagogue in Minnetonka are: Rabbi Harold Kravitz affixing the mezuza on the door to the sanctuary; Architecture and Building Chair Irene Bartram in front of the doors of the ark; leaders of the congregation led a Torah procession through the filled sanctuary; and Rabbi Barry Cytron placed Torahs in the ark. New synagogue logo in center. (Photos: Mordecai Specktor) is dedicated to children and education, which I love! The weekend of festivities and busy activity seemed almost like a second High Holidays service for members of Adath this year, according to State Rep. Ron Abrams, IR-Minnetonka. As a congregant, Im really excited, said Abrams, who had his Bar Mitzva at Adath in 1965. As a parent of two small boys, ages 9 and 7, this will be a facility that will be greatly used by our family for generations. Its hard to imagine we would do it, concluded Immediate Past President Mel Goldberg. It shows you the strength of the congregation. The congregation is about its people, not the building, he said, though it may be hard to live up to that! And after the long and intense planning and building process, the people were ready to sit in the pews. Im glad its over! said Goldberg. *** AJW Staff Writer Mordecai Specktor contributed to this story. 1 I I V P| A GOOD SUMMER The Bnai Emet Early Childhood Departments Camp Ahava provided summer activities for 117 children.

He has warned that proposed developments a pseudo-Disney world in the heart of the desert, planting exotic trees to create a new forest, and construction of wind-driven turbines to generate electricity will harm the existing environment. With the opening of the borders between Jordan and Israel, an even greater influx of tourists are visiting the Eilat area, which is rapidly developing into a booming resort area on the Red Sea. The speaking tour by Yosef is designed to raise funds for a planned visitor center to attract bird lovers from around the world and preserve the salt marsh feeding area in Eilat.

PAGE 8 AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD AUGUST 18, 1995 Connie Goldman creates sound portrait of photographer Richard Avedon CONNIE SCORES AGAIN Its more than 30 years since Connie Goldman became a working mom as a radio news reporter. In addition to a successful career in public radio, she set up her own production company in 1983. Marketing cassettes like Late Bloomer: Stories of Successful Aging, Connie chalked up another first by using interviews with older Americans to jab holes in the stereotype of the useless-on-the-shelf senior. Now a grandmother herself, Connie was as usual dressed in trendy chic and moving at top speed as she chatted with old friends and followed famed photographer Richard Avedon and local notables around at last months opening of Avedons exhibit at the Minneapolis Art Institute. Connies been a friend of Avedons since July 1, 1970. That was the day when, as a reporter for KUOM, the University of Minnesota radio station, she was part of a crowd of reporters trying to interview him as he installed his first exhibit at the Art Institute. When Avedon finally escaped from the media crowd and went to the park across the street to relax, Connie followed him and sat down to chat. Then she nervously asked, May I turn on my tape recorder? Avedon said yes, and thus began what Richard Avedon who had Dear Gail, My 77-year-old mother has been living with my husband and myself for 3-1/2 years. She has Alzheimers, and it is getting to the point where we cant take care of her anymore and need to put her in the Jewish home. My sister, who lives in Chicago, says its cruel to do that. What do you say? Anguished Daughter Dear Anguished, I say where was sister when Mom needed help? You have done a mitzva for your mother. Have no guilt! Just visit her often and tell Chicago to stop kvetching, get off her tuchas and visit Mom, too. *** Dear Gail, I need to draw up a will. One of my daughters has been extremely kind to me; the other could care less! Is it unfair to give my good daughter more than the selfish one? I dont want to cause problems between them after Im gone. Worried Mother Dear Worried, What is unfair? Isnt it your will and your money? You have the right to do whatever you wish. Reward your daughter, the mensch, with your gelt and no guilt! *** Dear Gail, I have a very possessive friend who constantly calls me and expects me to go to all my organization luncheons with her as well as other places. She makes it difficult forme to be with my other friends. Any ideas on how I can get out of her clutches without hurting her feelings? Trapped Suzie Dear Trapped, You must be very firm! Make a schedule and arrangements with your other friends for most of the dates and tell your friend with chutzpa that youll go to one of the functions with her. Dont worry about hurting her feelings.

Nightmares, which has since been shown on cable television and hopefully willbeonpublicTV sometime soon, is a British-made documentary film in which Nee describes Buchenwald as she saw it a few hours after its surviving prisoners were liberated by American soldiers. A reception at the British ambassadors home and a V.I.P. ticket to tour the Holocaust Museum were also part of Nees thank you from British filmmaker Rex Bloomstein. An unexpected surprise was a Washington public radio interview by former-Twin Ci tian Norm Sherman. Nee toured the front lines as a Special Services entertainer during World War II. After the war she went to work for WCCO-TV and became the first woman television producer in the Midwest. Hermemo-ries of Buchenwald are included in the JCRC- funded book Witnesses to the Holocaust: An Oral History, published by Twayne/Macmillan in 1990 and listed in the ADLs nationally-distributed catalog of educational materials.

Judith Lang Zaimont belongs to Bet Shalom but misses a lot of Friday night services because she travels the country as a musician and composer. Her Symphony No. 1 recently won the 1994 International McCollin Competition for Composers, and shes been invited to the University of Alabama and the American meeting of the Society of Composers International to perform and participate in panel discussions. She also has a grant from the Aaron Copland Fund to produce two CDs of her instrumental music. Shuly Rubin Schwartz is the author of We Married What We Wanted To Be, an article on rebbetzins as unsung heroes and partners in a two-person career. Writing in the June issue of American Jewish History, she cites Bertha Friedman Aronson, whose husband, Rabbi David Aronson, led Minneapolis Beth El Synagogue from 1929 to 1957, as a rebbetzin own rather than just playing a supportive role for her husband. Bertha took the Sisterhood presidency, she said, to encourage young women to get involved, and went on to become a leader in National Womens League and other Jewish womens groups. Photo I.D. parties at Bnai Israel Synagogue in Rochester are turning out to be a good beginning in putting together an ongoing history of the congregation. Esther Smerkins, Elaine White and Janet Olson had a great time walking down memory lane at the first session, recognizing and writing down the names of people and events memorialized in synagogue photo albums and files. Good daughter, bad daughter who gets the gelt? Dear Gail AUGUST 18, 1995 AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD PAGE 9 Bob Dylan stole the show at Websters Herzl Camp By RANDY HANSON Before he was a rock n roll legend, Bob Dylan enjoyed some carefree days at Herzl Camp in northern Wisconsin. He was still Bobby Zimmerman, son of a furniture store owner from Hibbing, Minn., when he attended the Jewish camp on Devils Lake near Webster for parts of four or five summers. Around the Herzl campfires, Bobby did some of his first singing and original poetry recitations, Laurence A. Schlesinger writes in On The Tracks, a Dylan fan magazine. Schlesinger quotes fellow Herzl camper Steve Friedman as saying, He used to sing just like Jerry Lee Lewis, a dazzling imitation. Hed play a piano while standing up and everything. Dylan was in his early teens when he first attended the Jewish youth camp in the summer of 1954. Three years after his last visit in 1958, he recorded his first album at CBS S tu-dios in New York and was on the highway to fame. The singer, songwriter and poet started performing at Herzl Camp, according to Robert Shelton, author of No Direction Home: The Life and Music of Bob Dylan. He loved the swimming and didnt seem to mind speaking Hebrew. But by his late 16th birthday things were getting too tame. He had begun some singing around the campfires there, Shelton writes. To perk things up, Bob and six lads climbed to the roof of the shower house, pulling their ladders up after them. They sang, yelled and taunted their counselors until the rabbi read them a sermon below the mount that got them back on the ground. Shelton quotes Dylans father, Abe, as saying, Bobby just about took over the whole camp that year. I thought they were going to send him home. The story amuses Marlene Bukstein, the camps office manager and information specialist. To this very day we still are pulling boys off of that very roof, she Bob Dylan spent quite a few summers at Herzl Camp. says, laughing. According to Bukstein, todays campers are well aware they are treading the same sandy ground as their famous predecessor. The past couple of summers, however, they have been more interested in Dylans son-in-law, Peter Himmelman of St. Louis Park, Minn. Whenever they mentioned Peter, we always had to say, Yes, but his father-in-law was pretty famous. Himmelman is married to Dylans daughter Maria, who also has attended Herzl Camp. Dylan isnt the only celebrity with ties to the camp. WCCO-TV sportscasterMark Rosen is an alumnus, along with Tom Friedman, a writer for theNew York Times. Businessman Louis Kemp of Kemp Fisheries was a Herzl camper, too. Bukstein says the camp was founded nearly 50 years ago to give Jewish youth a place to socialize. Members of most religious groups whether Catholic, Lutheran or Jewish want their children to marry within their faith, she points out. Herzl Camp is a place where Jewish youth from across the country make friends, and sometimes meet their future spouse.

He claims Dylan spent his time there working on ways of impressing the girls. It was there that he met Judy Rubin, who would later be an important woman in his life, though at this time theirs was an innocent enough friendship, according to Heylin. He seemed to perceive camp as just another audience to impress, Heylin says of Dylan. In the early years, much of the teaching at Herzl Camp focused on establishing the modem nation of Israel. The camp is named after Theodor Herzl, a Jew from Russia who in 1897 called for the founding of a Jewish state. Bukstein says a lot of the programs still center around Israel, but its now more of an activity camp, not geared to heavy-duty learning. Name it. We do it, she says, listing arts and crafts, sports, music, drama, publication of a camp newspaper and study sessions as things campers participate in. About 750 youngsters, from third graders to high school seniors, will visit Herzl Camp this summer, according to Bukstein. The camp takes about 250 youngsters at a time. Most of the campers are from the Twin Cities, but St. Louis, Omaha and Kansas City are well-represented as well. Some come from more distant locations. Last summer, a couple that had moved to Japan sent their children back to the U.S. so they wouldnt miss the Herzl camping experience. The spacious camp lies on a level tractof land above the western shore of Devils Lake, about a mile north of Webster. Visitors are greeted by a picture of Golda Meir, an early prime minister of Israel, at the end of their drive in from Highway 35 beneath a canopy of pines. Bukstein says Webster has been a gracious host to the camp. The community is wonderful. I love Webster. I love the people. They do open their arms. I cant say enough good things about the atmosphere and the people in Webster, she says. Plans are being made to invite Dylan back to the camp to celebrate its 50th anniversary next summer. The invitation might be extended through his son-in-laws family, Bukstein speculates, adding that Dylan visits the Twin Cities from time to time. She knows he has a reputation as an eccentric and hopes the invitation to revisit a teen-age stomping ground strikes a chord. It would be a real draw for our benefit, Bukstein says. It would be really nice if we could get him up here. *** This article originally appeared in the Inter-County Leader of Frederic, Wisconsin.

Deut. 3:23) Moses is continuing his address to the Israelites before his passing. He reviews the events of the past 40 years since they were freed from Egyptian slavery. Also, he points out their failings, encourages them to strengthen their faith and trust in G-d, and assures them that G-d will always be with them. There are certain verses in this text that are particularly stirring and have become part of our daily liturgy. In the daily Alenu prayer, we read: And you shall know this day, and take unto your heart that Adonai (G-d) is Elohim (G-d), in the heavens above and upon the earth below, there is nothing else. This passage really says it all. If we could only assure ourselves that in truth there is no one and nothing else besides the presence of G-d, then our lives would certainly be wonderful and life would have new meaning. And you shall know....that G-d is G-d: There is a Hassidic story told of a young married man who left his home to study Torah in the court of the Magid of Mezritch (the disciple and successor of the Baal Torah Thought for the Week Rabbi Asher Zeilingold Adath Israel Synagogue, St. Paul, Sponsor Shem Tov). When he returned home after a long period, his father-in-law angrily demanded to know what he had achieved in Mezritch that could justify his having left his family. In Mezritch I learned that there is a G-d, was the reply. The father-in-law called in the maidservant and asked her, Do you know that there is a G-d? Yes, of course I know there is a G-d, she replied. Everyone knows there is a G-d. The man then turned to his son-in-law in anger and disbelief. You had to go to Mezritch to learn something that even an ignorant maid knows?! The son-in-law replied with sincerity: She says there is a G-d, but in Mezritch I learned to know there Frances Minda of Temple Israel dies at 96 Frances Salinger Minda (Mrs. Albert), age 96, a long time community leader, died inherhome August 8 from cancer. She was the widow of Rabbi Albert G. Minda who was Rabbi and Rabbi Emeritus atTemple Israel, Minneapolis, from 1922 to 1977. Frances Minda grew up in South Bend, Indiana. She attended Michigan and Notre Dame universities and worked as a womens page editor for the South Bend Tribune after college. Her interests and outlook continued to be contemporary throughout her life. When she was in her late 80s, she took a computer course. Even into her mid-90s, she continued to be active in a number of community organizations. On the occasion of her 95th birthday, during a special Temple Israel service in her honor, she commented that she preferred not to count the candles but just enjoy the glow. Her son Roland Minda commented: My parents brought leadership, warmth and caring to so many in this community. Their legacy serves as an example to all of us who loved them. Frances Minda is survived by son Roland and Merle Minda, Minneapolis; grandchildren Lisa Segal and Arthur Strimling, New York City, NY; Daniel Segal, Los Angeles, CA; Matthew Segal, Boulder, CO; sister Harriet Iglauer, Cincinnati, OH, and many loving relatives and friends.

You shall know this day This is not to imply we should know only today, and not tomorrow. Rather, it tells us our conviction that G-ds presence pervades all existence should be as clear and with the same measure of certainty with which we are convinced that today is today and we do not need extraneous proof that it is so. And take unto your heart Sometimes we can know and even understand something in our mind, but it remains there and does not effect the way we go about our daily life. Our knowledge and conviction of G-ds omnipresence should bring us to interpret events and order our lives in accordance with G-ds constant presence and providence. That Adonai (G-d) is Elohim (G-d)The name of G-d, Adonai, denotes G-d as He transcends nature. Elohim has the same numerical equivalent as the Hebrew word HaTevah, meaning nature, and so Elohim is G-d as He suffuses natural law and physical energy. Adonai is Elohim G-d, who is far removed from any physical or corporeal characteristic, the same G-d who is a real part of our daily lives. This fundamental teaching is further emphasized in the next phrase: In the heavens above and upon the earth below. We might assume that G-d is only in heaven, in a place or time which is intrinsically holy, such as a house of prayer or the holy days. In truth, G-d is here with us every moment of our lives and there is nothing else.

Budget battles call for political action, Washington rep tells locals AJW Staff Report With budget battles waging on Capitol Hill, the time has come for Jewish Federations to become politically involved, according to the director of the Washington Action Office of the Council of Jewish Federations. The battle over the budget is by no means over, said Diana Aviv, who spoke last week at the 65th annual meeting of the Minneapolis Federation for Jewish Service, held at the Minneapolis Jewish Community Center. Federations have left the business of bi-partisan political involvement (to others). The time has come for us to get involved on this level. Aviv, a former associate executive vice chair at the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council, noted that in the next fiscal By NAOMI SEGAL JERUSALEM (JTA) The defection of two high-ranking members of Iraqi leader Saddam Husseins regime suggests that something is rotten in the land of Iraq, according to a leading Israeli authority on that country. Two of Husseins sons-in-Jaws recently defected to Jordan, where they were immediately granted political asylum. One of the defectors, Lt. Gen. Hussein Kamel Hassan, was the head of Iraqs weapons programs and was responsible for die development of Iraqs arms industry, particularly chemical and biological weapons, in the run-up to the 1991 Persian Gulf War. year, the largest budget cuts will come from non-defense spending programs. The Federation system, which raises and allocates monies for a variety of Jewish communal agencies and programs, has expanded its services over the years as state and federal dollars were made available. Our programs are not possible without a base of public support, said the South African native. One recent survey found that Federations nationwide depend on federal funds to the tune of $3.72 billion. Fifty percent of our agencies budgets come from government funding, she said. There can be no doubt about the impact of government funding cuts. Charity cannot make up the difference, Aviv argued. Individuals would have to increase their average individual charitable contributions He was considered the second most powerful man in Iraq after Hussein, and his defection spurred speculation that a campaign was under way to depose Saddam Hussein. Because family was Husseins main supporting column, this means his circle of supporters is disintegrating, Amatzia Baram, a professor of Middle Easthistory at Haifa University, told Israel Radio. Hassan was also a key figure in Iraqs dealings with a U.N. commission charged with overseeing the dismantlement of the Iraqi war machine. His defection left future Iraqi-U.N. dealings in doubt. by a whopping 236 percent to make up for the projected budget cuts, she claimed. Also at the meeting, the Minneapolis Federation announced total 1995-96 allocations of $10,657,670. The amount going for Israel and overseas through the United Jewish Appeal comes to $5,287,500, with a 5.5 percent increase in allocations for local agencies and programs. More money will be going to the Jewish Community Relations Council ($207,990) to replace the loss of funding from the Anti-Defamation League. In addition, two new national agencies have been added to the list of programs supported by the Federation: the New Israel Fund, which promotes a number of social service programs'in Israel; and Mazon, a Jewish response to hunger. Two local agencies will soon be added as beneficiaries as well: the B nai B rith Youth Organization and the Jewish Historical Society of theUpper Midwest. Outgoing Central Planning and Budgeting Committee Chair Harlee Goldstein said the increased local needs were a result of the increase in Jewish population. New Federation officers include: President Charles Barry; Vice Presidents Allan Baumgarten, Neil Lapidus, Barry Effress, Charles Selcer, Treasurer T om Sanders; Secretary Sanford Goldberg; and Financial Secretary Michael Horovitz. Elected to the board for a second three-year term were Lori Fritz, Matthew Heilicher, JimMoscowitz, Leonard Ribnick and Robert Strauss. Elected for their first three-year term were Maureen Davis, Sanford Goldberg, Ann Rockier Jackson, Steven Ross, Steven Schachtman and Julie Sinykin.

Saddams grip weakens with defections Opinion/ A Editorial i Twin Cities Calendar Social 9 Obituaries/ # Classified | J Notes I Torah Thought Listings 11 VOICE OF MINNESOTA JEWRY PAGE 2 AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD AUGUST 18, 1995 A the Ancient Bible completes its long exodus from Syria * aq\\ V Orthodox Jews in Holland protest ads against AIDS NEW YORK (JTA) One of the worlds oldest known Bibles has been brought back to Israel, smuggled page by page by Jewish immigrants from Syria, an Israeli newspaper recently reported. The Aleppo Codex, known as the Keter Aram Tsova in Hebrew, was written inTiberias about 1,000 years ago. It is the first known Bible produced in book form and not on scrolls, said biblical scholar Menachem Cohen of Bar-Ilan University in Ramat Gan. It is also considered the most au- thoritative and grammatically perfect copy of the Old Testament in existence, Cohen said. The book is believed to have been seized in Jerusalem by 12th-century crusaders and sold to Jews in Alexandria, Egypt, whereMaimonides is said to have studied it while composing some of his most important works. It subsequently found its way to the Jewish community of Aleppo in northern Syria. The Jews there apparently guarded the book zealously, rarely allowing outsiders to see the parchment. About two-thirds of it AMSTERDAM (JTA) Some Jews here have voiced *;pj opposition to an advertisement campaign against AIDS. A poster depicts a nude black man and a white woman, who is in her underwear and is holding a condom. In the ad, the woman is saying to the man: If you put something on, I take something off. Dutch health minister Elizabeth Borst said she would not take any steps to thwart the campaign. The minister said public health is more important than some people feeling offended. The freedom of choice is a very important right to me, Borst said. For the cause of public health we need to have an open eye for people who like to have changing sexual contacts. Anonymous Orthodox Jews, who found the poster in a bus shelter in front of an Amsterdam synagogue, put a sticker over the nude bodies with a text promoting monogamy between husband and wife. The Central Israelite Consistoire for the Benelux, the umbrella body for Jewish groups in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, filed a complaint at the district attorneys office in Amsterdam. French officials book results in charge of racial incitement PARIS (JTA) A r French official will appear before a court here in September on charges that his book contains language that will incite hatred of Arabs, Jews and blacks. Jean de Boishue, secretary of state in charge of universities, published Suburb My Love in May. The book is full of totally racist ideas freely expressed, said the lawyers of both SOS-Racisme, the nationally known association fighting against racism, and a young West Indian man living in Bretigny, a Paris suburb. In a chapter titled TheNew Castaways, de Boishue writes about the travels of a Jewish couple, Vital and Louise, who constantly are on the move. Of Vital, also called the Wandering Jew, de Boishue writes that he was perpetuating the fate of his forebears, that his six brothers and sisters were already colonizing all the planet and that ifhechose Paris, it was because in a real city there is always some space for a merchant; for a Jew there will always be a street belonging to Jews. HANUKA IN JULY A child in Saraj evo received a toy, part of a large donation from the Boston Jewish community, sponsored by the Boston chapter of the American Jewish Congress and from the Greenhills School in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The toys were distributed in Sarajevo by the AmericanJewishJointDistribution Committee. (Photo: JDC.) 295 pages was smuggled into Israel under still mysterious circumstances in the 1950s. For decades, Jews were not allowed to emigrate from Syria. Only in the past few years, after the Middle East peace process began, did Syrian President Hafez Assad allow the Jews to leave. As a result, recent Syrian Jewish immigrants reportedly brought the missing pages of the Bible to Israel. Jewish Agency to boost efforts to bring Ukrainian Jews to Israel By JOSEPH MILLIS London Jewish Chronicle LONDON (JTA) The head of operations for the Jewish Agency for Israel in the former Soviet Union has said the organization would increase its efforts to bring Jews from Ukraine to Israel. Ukraine has the largest emigration potential for the whole of the former Soviet Union. With its 500,000 Jews, it is home to the fifth-largest Jewish population in the world, Chaim Chesler, the head emissary in the former Soviet Union, said in an interview here. Chesler recently was in London as a guest of the Joint Israel Appeal, British Jewrys main fundraising body for Israel. The hardships there are enormous. The monthly salary is about $20 to $30, Chesler said of life in Ukraine, adding, We are now putting most of our efforts into getting the Jews out of there. List of Jews kept by police Holocaust education spreads in Japan with museum opening NEW YORK (JTA) Some Czech Jewish leaders have been disturbed about reports that the Communist- era secret police here compiled a list of about 10,000 members of the Jewish community, according to a report in the London Jewish Chronicle. Transitions, Inc.: Elder Care Consulting Carla MacGregor, MSW 1121 Douglas Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55403 612-377-1865 Assessment Counseling Resource Referral Long-Term Planning The secret police, known as the StB, created the list under the guise of Operation Spider, which started in the 1970s and grew in the 1980s. But for others, the new reports came as no surprise. The StB had a special department to deal with Zionism and the Jewish community, Jiri Danicek of the Federation of Jewish Communities in Prague was quoted as saying by the Jewish Chronicle. Every Jew was under suspicion, at the very least because he belonged to an international community and his natural interests were deemed not to correspond with those of the socialist state, he added. NEW YORK (JTA) Fifty years after atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan is remembering not only J apanese victims of the war, but Jewish victims as well. T wo months after the opening of the first Holocaust museum in Japan, an exhibit on Anne Frank opened in Hiroshima. Although the Holocaustand the dropping of the atomic bomb are separate phenomena, they are nonetheless two watershed events that emerged from the second world war, said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Los Angeles-based-Simon Wiesenthal Center. It is an appropriate time for the world to pause and remember the innocent, he added. Cooper, who has been educat-' ing the Japanese about the Holocaust and the Jews, will attend the opening of the exhibition about Anne Frank and the Holocaust. LIGHT CANDLES 7:56 P.M.

World Conference on Women are anticipating many challenges but being buffeted by anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism is not one of them. The conference of U.N. member states will take place Sept. 4-15 in Beijing. Jewish delegates also will attend the Non-Governmental Organizations Forum 95, which will run Aug. 30-Sept. 8 in Huairou, a town 30 miles north of the capital. Delegates have been warned by the U.S. State Department, as well as human rights groups and feminist organizations, to use caution when talking to Chinese delegates attending the conference and forum and to not say anything that could be viewed as critical of the Chinese government. But for the first time in the history of the U.N. conferences on women, it is anticipated that Palestinian and Arab friction with Israelis and Diaspora Jews will take a back seat to attention to violations of womens and human rights in the host country itself. In all of the governmental preparatory meetings for the conference during the past year there was no overt anti-Semitism and no resolutions attacking Israel, said Jessica Lieberman of the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council. She said the changed climate stems largely from the Arab-Israeli peace process and the repeal by the United Nations of its infamous Zionism Equals Racism resolution. This time, American Jewish delegates said that their goals for the meetings are networking with women from around the world and supporting issues that are not specifically Jewish, such as womens health, education and economic status. It was at the first U.N. Conference on Women, held in 1975 in Mexico City, that Zionism was equated with racism for the first time in any U.N. forum. Palestinians hijacked the proceedings, according to Letty Cottin Pogrebin, a co-founder of Ms. magazine. She will attend the events in China as a representative of the Ms. Foundation and the NJCRAC. A few months after Mexico City, equating Zionism with racism was validated by the U.N. General Assembly. The resolution was rescinded in 1991. At the second conference on women, in Copenhagen in 1980, anti-Semitism was very, very strong in the air, said Harris Schoenberg, director for U.N. affairs for Bnai Brith International. Every workshop was a horror in Copenhagen, said Shirley Joseph, a veteran Jewish lay leader who attended that conference and will be in China representing the NJCRAC. The official plan of action that came out of Copenhagen included the Zionism equals racism equation. As aresult, theUnited States, Canada and Australia refused to sign onto the document, Joseph said. At the last conference on women, in Nairobi in 1985, anti-Zionism almost forced its collapse. Groups of Palestinian Arabs would run from one meeting to another, disrupt it totally, raise their issue and run to the next meeting at the Nairobi forum for non-govem-mental observers, said Schoenberg, who was at the gathering. At the diplomatic gathering in Nairobi, attended by representatives of U.N.-member governments, delegates from the Soviet Union and Iran were trying to include condemnations of Zionism in the official conference document, he said. A walkout by American, Canadian and European delegations was narrowly averted, and the conferences final document was free from anti-Zionist sentiment. No one expects the same deep divisiveness in China, said the del- ft was at the first U.N. Conference on Women, held in 1975 in Mexico City, that Zionism was equated with racism.

Specktor resides in Minneapolis with his wife Maj-Britt and sons Jonas, Max and Isaac. egates interviewed. All forecasts are that anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism wont be such a real threat at this conference, so we have a chance to make some real progress, Lieberman said. Still, American Jewish delegates are doing their best to prepare in case they find anti-Jewishbias at the meetings, and they have met several times in recent months. In March, American Jewish delegates met with members of the Israeli delegation in New York to discuss their common concerns. In addition to the NJCRAC, more than 100 American Jewish delegates to the China conference, most of them women, are representing Jewish communal organizations, including the American Jewish Committee, American Jewish Congress, BnaiBrith,Hadassah,theNational Council of Jewish Women, Womens American ORT, Womens League for Conservative Judaism and Women of Reform Judaism. When we get there we plan to have a meeting to which we will invite all the Jewish women who we have made contact with so that we can see each other, the NJCRACs Joseph said. | Israel considers jellyfish sales | JERUSALEM (JTA) Jellyfish, the bane of Israeli bathers, may yet i become a national moneymaker.

It is a magnificent and impressive structure and we congratulate the congregation on the fine effort and the speed with which their dream became a reality. We wish them many fruitful years of service to the community from their new Minnetonka base. By American and certainly Minneapolitan standards, Adath Jeshurun is a relative late-comer to the suburbs. The post-World War II building boom and expansion/flight (depending on your view) to the suburbs influenced synagogues and churches throughout the country. There was much discussion among the congregants about leaving its urban home for the past 60 years to make the move west. Most members feel the debate made them a stronger congregation. But now that the congregation is further west, they still must face east. East: as a house of God, they must face Jerusalem. And for more local concerns, there are still growing social problems to their east, in Minneapolis and spreading to St. Louis Park and other first-tier suburbs. While all eyes are looking west to the shiny new facility, all of us must be more sensitive to the issues shaping our surrounding cities. As for the building itself, synagogue officials are correct when they say that it is nothing more than bricks and mortar. The difference between a synagogue and a congregation is the people, the spirit, the warmth, support and striving for a unified goal. We wish Adath Jeshurun much luck in their on-going mission of teaching Torah, doing mitzvot, acts of loving kindness and likkun olam. Essex The elusive Finest Hour of American Jewry A shtetl troubadour in the pre-Holocaust era sang: They tell me Every human being has allotted seven good years. Where are mine? And if not seven let there be one. Churchill coined the phrase of the Finest Hour when he spoke of Britains battle against German barbarism. There probably is such a Finest Hour to be found in the history of many nations. It is a historic moment that defined and colored the journey and character of apeople. Nations are nurtured by such moments. Generations are inspired by memories centered around such Finest Hours. As we approach the end of the second millennium, historians will turn to the past in search of such Finest Hours, of defining moments that molded the character of nations and communities. Jewish historians will have a field day. A people with a long history, dispersed abroad in many lands, affected by diverse spiritual climates, confronted by brutal darkness, blinded by strong lights, singed by strange fires had to have many Finest Hours to reach the gate of the 21st century. We shall leave this task to historians. My question, though, is inspired by the folk singer from the shtetl. They tell me there is a Finest Hour to be found in the history of nations and communities. Where is the Finest Hour of American Jewry to be found? Let me give you a few examples that will illustrate what I mean. As the long and dark Jewish exile began, as Jerusalem was destroyed, Yohanan Ben-Zakkai accepted defeat but asked for permission to establish a yeshiva, a school of learning in a small village of Yavneh. Yavneh was the beginning of a tradition that nurtured 2,000 years of Jewish history. It was the Finest Hour in our long exile. In a forlorn village of Medzibozh in Ukraine, a child was bom to a poverty-stricken Jewish family. This child Israel became the Besht who founded the Hassidic movement. The 18th century Hassidism brought joy, heart, new meaning to a stagnated Judaism and became the Finest Hour that defined the existence of Eastern European Jewry. In 1897 in Basel, Switzerland, Dr. Theodor Herzl proclaimed to the world that world Jewry intends to return to its ancient homeland Palestine. He founded a new movement called Zionism, calling upon Jews to join hands in a historic undertaking to establish aNational Jewish Home. This was the Finest Hour in modem Jewish history, an hour/ event that gave Tikvah (Hope) to a despondent people after the Dreyfus era. The uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto, with its heroic and tragic end, was such a Finest Hour in the dark Holocaust era. Modem Israel is rich with such Fine Hours: 1948, Entebbe, the first plane of redeemed Jews from the Soviet Union arriving in Tel Aviv. These are the moments of which the Finest Hours are constructed. And now, I repeat the question: Where and when did American Jewry produce such aFinest Hour, an inspiring moment that might beautify the history of our community, inspire our young, nurture our future? Yes, we campaigned, we solicited pledges, we organized, we displayed generosity, we proclaimed We Are One and all this will be remembered and duly recorded. But the shining moment, the single great event that shall be recognized as the Finest Hour of American Jewry remains elusive. Is it possible that such a moment is still to be a part of our future in this land? I doubt it. How about you? tters Thanks from Adath On behalf of the entire Adath Jeshurun Congregation, I want to thank the American Jewish World for the coverage of the dedication of our new synagogue. We appreciate your assistance in helping the entire Twin Cities Jewish community share in our joy. We also wish to extend our sincere appreciation to the entire community for the support and well wishes that we have received. This is especially true for the Minneapolis Talmud Torah, the Jewish Community Center of Greater Minneapolis, and our sister congregations. For two years, the Adath operated without a permanent home. We could not have done it without your cooperation, kindness and generosity. For that, we are truly grateful. Steven Krikava Dedication Weekend Steering Committee Better luck to library It is, of course, good news to hear that another attempt is being made to establish a Russian-language Judaic library (7-21-95 AJW). Let me stress why I use another. In 1985, whenlwas on Sabbatical at Tel Aviv University and was then incoming chair of the Soviet Jewry Committee for the JCRC, I met Tzvee Netzer, then chair of Aliyah Press. Netzer was well known for his efforts for Soviet Jewry. I arranged for the Soviet Jewry Committee to purchase 135 volumes of Judaic literature translated into Russian for a Soviet-Jewish immigrant library at the Minneapolis JCC. However, the books were catalogued at the JCC library, and over the next five years proceeded to disappear, one by one. This was probably a mixture of absence of responsibility by those who took out the books, and due to the fact that the JCC library then, and now, has no serious monitoring system. It is relief to know that the new library will have a home at the Talmud Torah. Maybe what remains of the JCC library should also be sent over to Talmud Torah and the room can be used for something meaningful.

American kosher laws under attack Shechita and its myriad laws are constantly under attack from the animal-rights extremists who can barely conceal Judeopathy under the thin guise of kindness to animals. Now the related matter of thekashrut of meat is being threatened by none other than Uncle Sam. The 7-28-95 AJW article detailed the USDAs proposed new regulations regarding the treatment of meat in slaughterhouses and how it will adversely impact the soaking and salting of kosher meat. The proposal would require that all meat and poultry be washed in an anti-microbial solution and behandled, stored and shipped at a temperature below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Personally, I dont want to eat any food thats been doused with a government specified chemical, do you? This is the same USD A that has approved aspartame, rat hairs, insect parts, tree rosin and wood chips for inclusion in our food products. One could say that the regulations are being developed with the best of intentions, i.e. to prevent illness from meat. If the recent tragic incidents of meat related illness and death are truthfully examined, it will be found that stupidity and laziness in preparation were what facilitated the attack of the microbes. Although Jews salt meat because G-d commanded the removal of blood, we are given the practical benefit that sodium chloride is a highly effective anti-microbial solution and is essential for most diets. I never became ill from the meat that my mother kashered in her kitchen, which was free from USD A inspectors and the already staggering array of rules and regs. On the obvious, secular level, more regulations by an overreaching bureaucracy only serve to hinder businesses in a free-market economy, limit competition and destroy jobs. This is a prime example of the federal government trying to protect people from their own mistakes. From a Jewish perspective, these rules are unnecessarily intrusive and should be seen as an attack on our religion, albeit possibly not an intentional one. It is germane to recall the words of the previous LubavitcherRebbe, J.I. Schneersohn, ashewas leaving for Spalemo Prison in Soviet Russia in 1927: We must proclaim openly that wherever our religion, our Torah, and its commandments are concerned, no one can tell us what to do, no power of coercion must be used against us. If you think that losing kosher hot dogs is a trivial matter, think of what could be next. Paul S.

AUGUST 18, 1995 AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD PAGE 5 Ribbons cut, trumpets herald dedication of Adath Jeshurun building By MARSHALL HOFFMAN Managing Editor Now that they have pews to pack, members of Adath Jeshurun Congregation packed the pews in their new sanctuary at dedication ceremonies this past Sunday for the opening of their new $10.4 million building in Minnetonka. It feels really wonderful, said the congregations Rabbi Harold Kravitz. Its an extraordinary moment in the life of this community and the life of this congregation. We look forward to many wonderful years serving this community. During ceremonies, the congregations senior rabbi, Rabbi Barry Cytron, noted that the building can transform a congregation of Jews into a Jewish congregation. May we make this building a sanctuary, he said, preceding a fanfare of trumpets, which in turn preceded the ceremony of affixing a mezuza to the sanctuary doors. Associate Building Committee Chair Scott Bader said it has been a fantastic three years forme. Its been personally enriching and fulfilling. I realized how much apart of the Adath community Ive become. Architecture and Building Chair Irene Bartram thanked the 300 volunteers who assisted in the buildings completion. Today, we give the building to you, your children and their children so that they may find (joy and) comfort here. She was presented with a plaque by New Building Steering Committee Co-Chair Mel Orenstein for her nearly three years of volunteer efforts in coordinating the building efforts. I hope your reward will be in every time you walk into this building, Orenstein told her. Fundraising Co-Chair Jules Levin, who worked with Dan Heilicher to raise close to $ 10 million (much of that from five families), said the congregation will have a small mortgage. But its just unbelievable that weve raised that much money from a small number of people. The synagogues original budget was $7.5 million, then $8.5 million and lastly $10.5, and thats it, said Levin. Ive never seen anything carried off so well, and with such enthusiasm of all the people involved. And while its a first-class building, its very down-to-earth and livable. It doesnt look like a huge structure, its a haimishe-typc thing. Adath J eshurun President N orman Pink called the dedication a great honor and a great moment in my life. The honor of building a building is to be savored not only today but for all the days to come. Someday, Pink said, congregants will appreciate the visionaries of yesterday who made this dream a reality of today, a reference to synagogue officials who bought the Minnetonka acreage close to three decades ago. A commissioned art piece done by local multi-media artist Renanah Halpem was also presented at the ceremonies, which art consultant Sharon Zweigbaum called a masterful and poetic gift to our congregation. Past Adath President Joyce Orbuch was also pleased with the new structure. Now, its about filling it with people and programs and noise. Cantor Scott Buckner called the sanctuary acoustics wonderful and said he has never been a part of anything as exciting. The commitment and work put into this inspired me. Thats one thing that inspired me to move here (from the East Coast) was the vibrancy, warmth and commitment of this congregation. Its the beginning of many good things. In the synagogues library, librarian Marilyn Burstein called it a librarians fantasy with an inviting atmosphere and beautiful lighting. Many of her suggestions were incorporated into the design, she noted. There should be a nice place for members to read, she argued, because were people of the book. Rabbi Kassel Abelson, emeritus of Beth El Synagogue, said the building was magnificent and worthy of the congregation that will occupy it. A number of politicians also attended the ceremonies. The synagogue really penetrates the soul, said U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone, whose father was welcomed as a member of Adath Jeshurun at a time of familial burial needs. Half the building Shown clockwise from the top at the dedication ceremonies for the new Adath Jeshurun Synagogue in Minnetonka are: Rabbi Harold Kravitz affixing the mezuza on the door to the sanctuary; Architecture and Building Chair Irene Bartram in front of the doors of the ark; leaders of the congregation led a Torah procession through the filled sanctuary; and Rabbi Barry Cytron placed Torahs in the ark. New synagogue logo in center. (Photos: Mordecai Specktor) is dedicated to children and education, which I love! The weekend of festivities and busy activity seemed almost like a second High Holidays service for members of Adath this year, according to State Rep. Ron Abrams, IR-Minnetonka. As a congregant, Im really excited, said Abrams, who had his Bar Mitzva at Adath in 1965. As a parent of two small boys, ages 9 and 7, this will be a facility that will be greatly used by our family for generations. Its hard to imagine we would do it, concluded Immediate Past President Mel Goldberg. It shows you the strength of the congregation. The congregation is about its people, not the building, he said, though it may be hard to live up to that! And after the long and intense planning and building process, the people were ready to sit in the pews. Im glad its over! said Goldberg. *** AJW Staff Writer Mordecai Specktor contributed to this story. 1 I I V P| A GOOD SUMMER The Bnai Emet Early Childhood Departments Camp Ahava provided summer activities for 117 children.

He has warned that proposed developments a pseudo-Disney world in the heart of the desert, planting exotic trees to create a new forest, and construction of wind-driven turbines to generate electricity will harm the existing environment. With the opening of the borders between Jordan and Israel, an even greater influx of tourists are visiting the Eilat area, which is rapidly developing into a booming resort area on the Red Sea. The speaking tour by Yosef is designed to raise funds for a planned visitor center to attract bird lovers from around the world and preserve the salt marsh feeding area in Eilat.

PAGE 8 AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD AUGUST 18, 1995 Connie Goldman creates sound portrait of photographer Richard Avedon CONNIE SCORES AGAIN Its more than 30 years since Connie Goldman became a working mom as a radio news reporter. In addition to a successful career in public radio, she set up her own production company in 1983. Marketing cassettes like Late Bloomer: Stories of Successful Aging, Connie chalked up another first by using interviews with older Americans to jab holes in the stereotype of the useless-on-the-shelf senior. Now a grandmother herself, Connie was as usual dressed in trendy chic and moving at top speed as she chatted with old friends and followed famed photographer Richard Avedon and local notables around at last months opening of Avedons exhibit at the Minneapolis Art Institute. Connies been a friend of Avedons since July 1, 1970. That was the day when, as a reporter for KUOM, the University of Minnesota radio station, she was part of a crowd of reporters trying to interview him as he installed his first exhibit at the Art Institute. When Avedon finally escaped from the media crowd and went to the park across the street to relax, Connie followed him and sat down to chat. Then she nervously asked, May I turn on my tape recorder? Avedon said yes, and thus began what Richard Avedon who had Dear Gail, My 77-year-old mother has been living with my husband and myself for 3-1/2 years. She has Alzheimers, and it is getting to the point where we cant take care of her anymore and need to put her in the Jewish home. My sister, who lives in Chicago, says its cruel to do that. What do you say? Anguished Daughter Dear Anguished, I say where was sister when Mom needed help? You have done a mitzva for your mother. Have no guilt! Just visit her often and tell Chicago to stop kvetching, get off her tuchas and visit Mom, too. *** Dear Gail, I need to draw up a will. One of my daughters has been extremely kind to me; the other could care less! Is it unfair to give my good daughter more than the selfish one? I dont want to cause problems between them after Im gone. Worried Mother Dear Worried, What is unfair? Isnt it your will and your money? You have the right to do whatever you wish. Reward your daughter, the mensch, with your gelt and no guilt! *** Dear Gail, I have a very possessive friend who constantly calls me and expects me to go to all my organization luncheons with her as well as other places. She makes it difficult forme to be with my other friends. Any ideas on how I can get out of her clutches without hurting her feelings? Trapped Suzie Dear Trapped, You must be very firm! Make a schedule and arrangements with your other friends for most of the dates and tell your friend with chutzpa that youll go to one of the functions with her. Dont worry about hurting her feelings.

The result is her 30-minute recorded tour of the exhibit plus a longer tape, Richard Avedon A Sound Portrait in which Avedon, now 72 years old, talks about his father, Jacob Israel Avedon, and shares his ideas on things like the truthfulness of photography, and how he works.

MORE ON THE HOLOCAUST Kay Bonner Nee of Fridley made a two-day trip to Washington as a special guest for the premiere of Nightmares and the Liberation of the Camps at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Nightmares, which has since been shown on cable television and hopefully willbeonpublicTV sometime soon, is a British-made documentary film in which Nee describes Buchenwald as she saw it a few hours after its surviving prisoners were liberated by American soldiers. A reception at the British ambassadors home and a V.I.P. ticket to tour the Holocaust Museum were also part of Nees thank you from British filmmaker Rex Bloomstein. An unexpected surprise was a Washington public radio interview by former-Twin Ci tian Norm Sherman. Nee toured the front lines as a Special Services entertainer during World War II. After the war she went to work for WCCO-TV and became the first woman television producer in the Midwest.

Judith Lang Zaimont belongs to Bet Shalom but misses a lot of Friday night services because she travels the country as a musician and composer.

Shuly Rubin Schwartz is the author of We Married What We Wanted To Be, an article on rebbetzins as unsung heroes and partners in a two-person career. Writing in the June issue of American Jewish History, she cites Bertha Friedman Aronson, whose husband, Rabbi David Aronson, led Minneapolis Beth El Synagogue from 1929 to 1957, as a rebbetzin own rather than just playing a supportive role for her husband. Bertha took the Sisterhood presidency, she said, to encourage young women to get involved, and went on to become a leader in National Womens League and other Jewish womens groups. Photo I.D. parties at Bnai Israel Synagogue in Rochester are turning out to be a good beginning in putting together an ongoing history of the congregation. Esther Smerkins, Elaine White and Janet Olson had a great time walking down memory lane at the first session, recognizing and writing down the names of people and events memorialized in synagogue photo albums and files. Good daughter, bad daughter who gets the gelt? Dear Gail AUGUST 18, 1995 AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD PAGE 9 Bob Dylan stole the show at Websters Herzl Camp By RANDY HANSON Before he was a rock n roll legend, Bob Dylan enjoyed some carefree days at Herzl Camp in northern Wisconsin. He was still Bobby Zimmerman, son of a furniture store owner from Hibbing, Minn., when he attended the Jewish camp on Devils Lake near Webster for parts of four or five summers. Around the Herzl campfires, Bobby did some of his first singing and original poetry recitations, Laurence A. Schlesinger writes in On The Tracks, a Dylan fan magazine. Schlesinger quotes fellow Herzl camper Steve Friedman as saying, He used to sing just like Jerry Lee Lewis, a dazzling imitation. Hed play a piano while standing up and everything. Dylan was in his early teens when he first attended the Jewish youth camp in the summer of 1954. Three years after his last visit in 1958, he recorded his first album at CBS S tu-dios in New York and was on the highway to fame. The singer, songwriter and poet started performing at Herzl Camp, according to Robert Shelton, author of No Direction Home: The Life and Music of Bob Dylan. He loved the swimming and didnt seem to mind speaking Hebrew. But by his late 16th birthday things were getting too tame. He had begun some singing around the campfires there, Shelton writes. To perk things up, Bob and six lads climbed to the roof of the shower house, pulling their ladders up after them. They sang, yelled and taunted their counselors until the rabbi read them a sermon below the mount that got them back on the ground. Shelton quotes Dylans father, Abe, as saying, Bobby just about took over the whole camp that year. I thought they were going to send him home. The story amuses Marlene Bukstein, the camps office manager and information specialist. To this very day we still are pulling boys off of that very roof, she Bob Dylan spent quite a few summers at Herzl Camp. says, laughing. According to Bukstein, todays campers are well aware they are treading the same sandy ground as their famous predecessor. The past couple of summers, however, they have been more interested in Dylans son-in-law, Peter Himmelman of St. Louis Park, Minn. Whenever they mentioned Peter, we always had to say, Yes, but his father-in-law was pretty famous. Himmelman is married to Dylans daughter Maria, who also has attended Herzl Camp. Dylan isnt the only celebrity with ties to the camp. WCCO-TV sportscasterMark Rosen is an alumnus, along with Tom Friedman, a writer for theNew York Times. Businessman Louis Kemp of Kemp Fisheries was a Herzl camper, too. Bukstein says the camp was founded nearly 50 years ago to give Jewish youth a place to socialize. Members of most religious groups whether Catholic, Lutheran or Jewish want their children to marry within their faith, she points out. Herzl Camp is a place where Jewish youth from across the country make friends, and sometimes meet their future spouse.

He claims Dylan spent his time there working on ways of impressing the girls. It was there that he met Judy Rubin, who would later be an important woman in his life, though at this time theirs was an innocent enough friendship, according to Heylin. He seemed to perceive camp as just another audience to impress, Heylin says of Dylan. In the early years, much of the teaching at Herzl Camp focused on establishing the modem nation of Israel. The camp is named after Theodor Herzl, a Jew from Russia who in 1897 called for the founding of a Jewish state. Bukstein says a lot of the programs still center around Israel, but its now more of an activity camp, not geared to heavy-duty learning. Name it. We do it, she says, listing arts and crafts, sports, music, drama, publication of a camp newspaper and study sessions as things campers participate in. About 750 youngsters, from third graders to high school seniors, will visit Herzl Camp this summer, according to Bukstein. The camp takes about 250 youngsters at a time. Most of the campers are from the Twin Cities, but St. Louis, Omaha and Kansas City are well-represented as well. Some come from more distant locations. Last summer, a couple that had moved to Japan sent their children back to the U.S. so they wouldnt miss the Herzl camping experience. The spacious camp lies on a level tractof land above the western shore of Devils Lake, about a mile north of Webster. Visitors are greeted by a picture of Golda Meir, an early prime minister of Israel, at the end of their drive in from Highway 35 beneath a canopy of pines. Bukstein says Webster has been a gracious host to the camp. The community is wonderful. I love Webster. I love the people. They do open their arms. I cant say enough good things about the atmosphere and the people in Webster, she says. Plans are being made to invite Dylan back to the camp to celebrate its 50th anniversary next summer. The invitation might be extended through his son-in-laws family, Bukstein speculates, adding that Dylan visits the Twin Cities from time to time. She knows he has a reputation as an eccentric and hopes the invitation to revisit a teen-age stomping ground strikes a chord. It would be a real draw for our benefit, Bukstein says. It would be really nice if we could get him up here. *** This article originally appeared in the Inter-County Leader of Frederic, Wisconsin.

Deut. 3:23) Moses is continuing his address to the Israelites before his passing. He reviews the events of the past 40 years since they were freed from Egyptian slavery. Also, he points out their failings, encourages them to strengthen their faith and trust in G-d, and assures them that G-d will always be with them. There are certain verses in this text that are particularly stirring and have become part of our daily liturgy. In the daily Alenu prayer, we read: And you shall know this day, and take unto your heart that Adonai (G-d) is Elohim (G-d), in the heavens above and upon the earth below, there is nothing else. This passage really says it all. If we could only assure ourselves that in truth there is no one and nothing else besides the presence of G-d, then our lives would certainly be wonderful and life would have new meaning. And you shall know....that G-d is G-d: There is a Hassidic story told of a young married man who left his home to study Torah in the court of the Magid of Mezritch (the disciple and successor of the Baal Torah Thought for the Week Rabbi Asher Zeilingold Adath Israel Synagogue, St. Paul, Sponsor Shem Tov). When he returned home after a long period, his father-in-law angrily demanded to know what he had achieved in Mezritch that could justify his having left his family. In Mezritch I learned that there is a G-d, was the reply. The father-in-law called in the maidservant and asked her, Do you know that there is a G-d? Yes, of course I know there is a G-d, she replied. Everyone knows there is a G-d. The man then turned to his son-in-law in anger and disbelief. You had to go to Mezritch to learn something that even an ignorant maid knows?! The son-in-law replied with sincerity: She says there is a G-d, but in Mezritch I learned to know there Frances Minda of Temple Israel dies at 96 Frances Salinger Minda (Mrs. Albert), age 96, a long time community leader, died inherhome August 8 from cancer. She was the widow of Rabbi Albert G. Minda who was Rabbi and Rabbi Emeritus atTemple Israel, Minneapolis, from 1922 to 1977. Frances Minda grew up in South Bend, Indiana. She attended Michigan and Notre Dame universities and worked as a womens page editor for the South Bend Tribune after college. Her interests and outlook continued to be contemporary throughout her life. When she was in her late 80s, she took a computer course. Even into her mid-90s, she continued to be active in a number of community organizations. On the occasion of her 95th birthday, during a special Temple Israel service in her honor, she commented that she preferred not to count the candles but just enjoy the glow. Her son Roland Minda commented: My parents brought leadership, warmth and caring to so many in this community. Their legacy serves as an example to all of us who loved them. Frances Minda is survived by son Roland and Merle Minda, Minneapolis; grandchildren Lisa Segal and Arthur Strimling, New York City, NY; Daniel Segal, Los Angeles, CA; Matthew Segal, Boulder, CO; sister Harriet Iglauer, Cincinnati, OH, and many loving relatives and friends.

You shall know this day This is not to imply we should know only today, and not tomorrow. Rather, it tells us our conviction that G-ds presence pervades all existence should be as clear and with the same measure of certainty with which we are convinced that today is today and we do not need extraneous proof that it is so. And take unto your heart Sometimes we can know and even understand something in our mind, but it remains there and does not effect the way we go about our daily life. Our knowledge and conviction of G-ds omnipresence should bring us to interpret events and order our lives in accordance with G-ds constant presence and providence. That Adonai (G-d) is Elohim (G-d)The name of G-d, Adonai, denotes G-d as He transcends nature. Elohim has the same numerical equivalent as the Hebrew word HaTevah, meaning nature, and so Elohim is G-d as He suffuses natural law and physical energy. Adonai is Elohim G-d, who is far removed from any physical or corporeal characteristic, the same G-d who is a real part of our daily lives. This fundamental teaching is further emphasized in the next phrase: In the heavens above and upon the earth below. We might assume that G-d is only in heaven, in a place or time which is intrinsically holy, such as a house of prayer or the holy days. In truth, G-d is here with us every moment of our lives and there is nothing else.

Budget battles call for political action, Washington rep tells locals AJW Staff Report With budget battles waging on Capitol Hill, the time has come for Jewish Federations to become politically involved, according to the director of the Washington Action Office of the Council of Jewish Federations. The battle over the budget is by no means over, said Diana Aviv, who spoke last week at the 65th annual meeting of the Minneapolis Federation for Jewish Service, held at the Minneapolis Jewish Community Center. Federations have left the business of bi-partisan political involvement (to others). The time has come for us to get involved on this level. Aviv, a former associate executive vice chair at the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council, noted that in the next fiscal By NAOMI SEGAL JERUSALEM (JTA) The defection of two high-ranking members of Iraqi leader Saddam Husseins regime suggests that something is rotten in the land of Iraq, according to a leading Israeli authority on that country. Two of Husseins sons-in-Jaws recently defected to Jordan, where they were immediately granted political asylum. One of the defectors, Lt. Gen. Hussein Kamel Hassan, was the head of Iraqs weapons programs and was responsible for die development of Iraqs arms industry, particularly chemical and biological weapons, in the run-up to the 1991 Persian Gulf War. year, the largest budget cuts will come from non-defense spending programs. The Federation system, which raises and allocates monies for a variety of Jewish communal agencies and programs, has expanded its services over the years as state and federal dollars were made available. Our programs are not possible without a base of public support, said the South African native. One recent survey found that Federations nationwide depend on federal funds to the tune of $3.72 billion. Fifty percent of our agencies budgets come from government funding, she said. There can be no doubt about the impact of government funding cuts. Charity cannot make up the difference, Aviv argued. Individuals would have to increase their average individual charitable contributions He was considered the second most powerful man in Iraq after Hussein, and his defection spurred speculation that a campaign was under way to depose Saddam Hussein. Because family was Husseins main supporting column, this means his circle of supporters is disintegrating, Amatzia Baram, a professor of Middle Easthistory at Haifa University, told Israel Radio. Hassan was also a key figure in Iraqs dealings with a U.N. commission charged with overseeing the dismantlement of the Iraqi war machine. His defection left future Iraqi-U.N. dealings in doubt. by a whopping 236 percent to make up for the projected budget cuts, she claimed. Also at the meeting, the Minneapolis Federation announced total 1995-96 allocations of $10,657,670. The amount going for Israel and overseas through the United Jewish Appeal comes to $5,287,500, with a 5.5 percent increase in allocations for local agencies and programs. More money will be going to the Jewish Community Relations Council ($207,990) to replace the loss of funding from the Anti-Defamation League. In addition, two new national agencies have been added to the list of programs supported by the Federation: the New Israel Fund, which promotes a number of social service programs'in Israel; and Mazon, a Jewish response to hunger. Two local agencies will soon be added as beneficiaries as well: the B nai B rith Youth Organization and the Jewish Historical Society of theUpper Midwest. Outgoing Central Planning and Budgeting Committee Chair Harlee Goldstein said the increased local needs were a result of the increase in Jewish population. New Federation officers include: President Charles Barry; Vice Presidents Allan Baumgarten, Neil Lapidus, Barry Effress, Charles Selcer, Treasurer T om Sanders; Secretary Sanford Goldberg; and Financial Secretary Michael Horovitz. Elected to the board for a second three-year term were Lori Fritz, Matthew Heilicher, JimMoscowitz, Leonard Ribnick and Robert Strauss.

"transcription": "PAGE 2 AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD AUGUST 18, 1995 A the Ancient Bible completes its long exodus from Syria * aq\\ V Orthodox Jews in Holland protest ads against AIDS NEW YORK (JTA) One of the worlds oldest known Bibles has been brought back to Israel, smuggled page by page by Jewish immigrants from Syria, an Israeli newspaper recently reported. The Aleppo Codex, known as the Keter Aram Tsova in Hebrew, was written inTiberias about 1,000 years ago. It is the first known Bible produced in book form and not on scrolls, said biblical scholar Menachem Cohen of Bar-Ilan University in Ramat Gan. It is also considered the most au- thoritative and grammatically perfect copy of the Old Testament in existence, Cohen said. The book is believed to have been seized in Jerusalem by 12th-century crusaders and sold to Jews in Alexandria, Egypt, whereMaimonides is said to have studied it while composing some of his most important works. It subsequently found its way to the Jewish community of Aleppo in northern Syria. The Jews there apparently guarded the book zealously, rarely allowing outsiders to see the parchment. About two-thirds of it AMSTERDAM (JTA) Some Jews here have voiced *;pj opposition to an advertisement campaign against AIDS. A poster depicts a nude black man and a white woman, who is in her underwear and is holding a condom. In the ad, the woman is saying to the man: If you put something on, I take something off. Dutch health minister Elizabeth Borst said she would not take any steps to thwart the campaign. The minister said public health is more important than some people feeling offended. The freedom of choice is a very important right to me, Borst said. For the cause of public health we need to have an open eye for people who like to have changing sexual contacts. Anonymous Orthodox Jews, who found the poster in a bus shelter in front of an Amsterdam synagogue, put a sticker over the nude bodies with a text promoting monogamy between husband and wife. The Central Israelite Consistoire for the Benelux, the umbrella body for Jewish groups in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, filed a complaint at the district attorneys office in Amsterdam. French officials book results in charge of racial incitement PARIS (JTA) A r French official will appear before a court here in September on charges that his book contains language that will incite hatred of Arabs, Jews and blacks. Jean de Boishue, secretary of state in charge of universities, published Suburb My Love in May. The book is full of totally racist ideas freely expressed, said the lawyers of both SOS-Racisme, the nationally known association fighting against racism, and a young West Indian man living in Bretigny, a Paris suburb. In a chapter titled TheNew Castaways, de Boishue writes about the travels of a Jewish couple, Vital and Louise, who constantly are on the move. Of Vital, also called the Wandering Jew, de Boishue writes that he was perpetuating the fate of his forebears, that his six brothers and sisters were already colonizing all the planet and that ifhechose Paris, it was because in a real city there is always some space for a merchant; for a Jew there will always be a street belonging to Jews. HANUKA IN JULY A child in Saraj evo received a toy, part of a large donation from the Boston Jewish community, sponsored by the Boston chapter of the American Jewish Congress and from the Greenhills School in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The toys were distributed in Sarajevo by the AmericanJewishJointDistribution Committee. (Photo: JDC.) 295 pages was smuggled into Israel under still mysterious circumstances in the 1950s. For decades, Jews were not allowed to emigrate from Syria. Only in the past few years, after the Middle East peace process began, did Syrian President Hafez Assad allow the Jews to leave. As a result, recent Syrian Jewish immigrants reportedly brought the missing pages of the Bible to Israel. Jewish Agency to boost efforts to bring Ukrainian Jews to Israel By JOSEPH MILLIS London Jewish Chronicle LONDON (JTA) The head of operations for the Jewish Agency for Israel in the former Soviet Union has said the organization would increase its efforts to bring Jews from Ukraine to Israel. Ukraine has the largest emigration potential for the whole of the former Soviet Union. With its 500,000 Jews, it is home to the fifth-largest Jewish population in the world, Chaim Chesler, the head emissary in the former Soviet Union, said in an interview here. Chesler recently was in London as a guest of the Joint Israel Appeal, British Jewrys main fundraising body for Israel. The hardships there are enormous. The monthly salary is about $20 to $30, Chesler said of life in Ukraine, adding, We are now putting most of our efforts into getting the Jews out of there. List of Jews kept by police Holocaust education spreads in Japan with museum opening NEW YORK (JTA) Some Czech Jewish leaders have been disturbed about reports that the Communist- era secret police here compiled a list of about 10,000 members of the Jewish community, according to a report in the London Jewish Chronicle. Transitions, Inc.: Elder Care Consulting Carla MacGregor, MSW 1121 Douglas Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55403 612-377-1865 Assessment Counseling Resource Referral Long-Term Planning The secret police, known as the StB, created the list under the guise of Operation Spider, which started in the 1970s and grew in the 1980s. But for others, the new reports came as no surprise. The StB had a special department to deal with Zionism and the Jewish community, Jiri Danicek of the Federation of Jewish Communities in Prague was quoted as saying by the Jewish Chronicle. Every Jew was under suspicion, at the very least because he belonged to an international community and his natural interests were deemed not to correspond with those of the socialist state, he added. NEW YORK (JTA) Fifty years after atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan is remembering not only J apanese victims of the war, but Jewish victims as well. T wo months after the opening of the first Holocaust museum in Japan, an exhibit on Anne Frank opened in Hiroshima. Although the Holocaustand the dropping of the atomic bomb are separate phenomena, they are nonetheless two watershed events that emerged from the second world war, said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Los Angeles-based-Simon Wiesenthal Center. It is an appropriate time for the world to pause and remember the innocent, he added. Cooper, who has been educat-' ing the Japanese about the Holocaust and the Jews, will attend the opening of the exhibition about Anne Frank and the Holocaust. LIGHT CANDLES 7:56 P.M.

"transcription": "AUGUST 18, 1995 AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD PAGE 3 Women confident U.N. conference in China will be free of anti-Israel talk By DEBRA NUSSBAUM COHEN NEW YORK (JTA) Jewish delegates to the upcoming fourth U.N. World Conference on Women are anticipating many challenges but being buffeted by anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism is not one of them. The conference of U.N. member states will take place Sept. 4-15 in Beijing. Jewish delegates also will attend the Non-Governmental Organizations Forum 95, which will run Aug. 30-Sept. 8 in Huairou, a town 30 miles north of the capital. Delegates have been warned by the U.S. State Department, as well as human rights groups and feminist organizations, to use caution when talking to Chinese delegates attending the conference and forum and to not say anything that could be viewed as critical of the Chinese government. But for the first time in the history of the U.N. conferences on women, it is anticipated that Palestinian and Arab friction with Israelis and Diaspora Jews will take a back seat to attention to violations of womens and human rights in the host country itself. In all of the governmental preparatory meetings for the conference during the past year there was no overt anti-Semitism and no resolutions attacking Israel, said Jessica Lieberman of the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council. She said the changed climate stems largely from the Arab-Israeli peace process and the repeal by the United Nations of its infamous Zionism Equals Racism resolution. This time, American Jewish delegates said that their goals for the meetings are networking with women from around the world and supporting issues that are not specifically Jewish, such as womens health, education and economic status. It was at the first U.N. Conference on Women, held in 1975 in Mexico City, that Zionism was equated with racism for the first time in any U.N. forum. Palestinians hijacked the proceedings, according to Letty Cottin Pogrebin, a co-founder of Ms. magazine. She will attend the events in China as a representative of the Ms. Foundation and the NJCRAC. A few months after Mexico City, equating Zionism with racism was validated by the U.N. General Assembly. The resolution was rescinded in 1991. At the second conference on women, in Copenhagen in 1980, anti-Semitism was very, very strong in the air, said Harris Schoenberg, director for U.N. affairs for Bnai Brith International. Every workshop was a horror in Copenhagen, said Shirley Joseph, a veteran Jewish lay leader who attended that conference and will be in China representing the NJCRAC. The official plan of action that came out of Copenhagen included the Zionism equals racism equation. As aresult, theUnited States, Canada and Australia refused to sign onto the document, Joseph said. At the last conference on women, in Nairobi in 1985, anti-Zionism almost forced its collapse. Groups of Palestinian Arabs would run from one meeting to another, disrupt it totally, raise their issue and run to the next meeting at the Nairobi forum for non-govem-mental observers, said Schoenberg, who was at the gathering. At the diplomatic gathering in Nairobi, attended by representatives of U.N.-member governments, delegates from the Soviet Union and Iran were trying to include condemnations of Zionism in the official conference document, he said. A walkout by American, Canadian and European delegations was narrowly averted, and the conferences final document was free from anti-Zionist sentiment. No one expects the same deep divisiveness in China, said the del- ft was at the first U.N. Conference on Women, held in 1975 in Mexico City, that Zionism was equated with racism.

Specktor resides in Minneapolis with his wife Maj-Britt and sons Jonas, Max and Isaac. egates interviewed. All forecasts are that anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism wont be such a real threat at this conference, so we have a chance to make some real progress, Lieberman said. Still, American Jewish delegates are doing their best to prepare in case they find anti-Jewishbias at the meetings, and they have met several times in recent months. In March, American Jewish delegates met with members of the Israeli delegation in New York to discuss their common concerns. In addition to the NJCRAC, more than 100 American Jewish delegates to the China conference, most of them women, are representing Jewish communal organizations, including the American Jewish Committee, American Jewish Congress, BnaiBrith,Hadassah,theNational Council of Jewish Women, Womens American ORT, Womens League for Conservative Judaism and Women of Reform Judaism. When we get there we plan to have a meeting to which we will invite all the Jewish women who we have made contact with so that we can see each other, the NJCRACs Joseph said. | Israel considers jellyfish sales | JERUSALEM (JTA) Jellyfish, the bane of Israeli bathers, may yet i become a national moneymaker.

"transcription": "PAGE 4 AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD AUGUST 18, 1995 Best wishes in your new home This past weekend, the congregants of Adath Jeshurun celebrated together the joy of dedicating their beautiful new home in Minnetonka. It is a magnificent and impressive structure and we congratulate the congregation on the fine effort and the speed with which their dream became a reality. We wish them many fruitful years of service to the community from their new Minnetonka base. By American and certainly Minneapolitan standards, Adath Jeshurun is a relative late-comer to the suburbs. The post-World War II building boom and expansion/flight (depending on your view) to the suburbs influenced synagogues and churches throughout the country. There was much discussion among the congregants about leaving its urban home for the past 60 years to make the move west. Most members feel the debate made them a stronger congregation. But now that the congregation is further west, they still must face east. East: as a house of God, they must face Jerusalem. And for more local concerns, there are still growing social problems to their east, in Minneapolis and spreading to St. Louis Park and other first-tier suburbs. While all eyes are looking west to the shiny new facility, all of us must be more sensitive to the issues shaping our surrounding cities. As for the building itself, synagogue officials are correct when they say that it is nothing more than bricks and mortar. The difference between a synagogue and a congregation is the people, the spirit, the warmth, support and striving for a unified goal. We wish Adath Jeshurun much luck in their on-going mission of teaching Torah, doing mitzvot, acts of loving kindness and likkun olam. Essex The elusive Finest Hour of American Jewry A shtetl troubadour in the pre-Holocaust era sang: They tell me Every human being has allotted seven good years. Where are mine? And if not seven let there be one. Churchill coined the phrase of the Finest Hour when he spoke of Britains battle against German barbarism. There probably is such a Finest Hour to be found in the history of many nations. It is a historic moment that defined and colored the journey and character of apeople. Nations are nurtured by such moments. Generations are inspired by memories centered around such Finest Hours. As we approach the end of the second millennium, historians will turn to the past in search of such Finest Hours, of defining moments that molded the character of nations and communities. Jewish historians will have a field day. A people with a long history, dispersed abroad in many lands, affected by diverse spiritual climates, confronted by brutal darkness, blinded by strong lights, singed by strange fires had to have many Finest Hours to reach the gate of the 21st century. We shall leave this task to historians. My question, though, is inspired by the folk singer from the shtetl. They tell me there is a Finest Hour to be found in the history of nations and communities. Where is the Finest Hour of American Jewry to be found? Let me give you a few examples that will illustrate what I mean. As the long and dark Jewish exile began, as Jerusalem was destroyed, Yohanan Ben-Zakkai accepted defeat but asked for permission to establish a yeshiva, a school of learning in a small village of Yavneh. Yavneh was the beginning of a tradition that nurtured 2,000 years of Jewish history. It was the Finest Hour in our long exile. In a forlorn village of Medzibozh in Ukraine, a child was bom to a poverty-stricken Jewish family. This child Israel became the Besht who founded the Hassidic movement. The 18th century Hassidism brought joy, heart, new meaning to a stagnated Judaism and became the Finest Hour that defined the existence of Eastern European Jewry. In 1897 in Basel, Switzerland, Dr. Theodor Herzl proclaimed to the world that world Jewry intends to return to its ancient homeland Palestine. He founded a new movement called Zionism, calling upon Jews to join hands in a historic undertaking to establish aNational Jewish Home. This was the Finest Hour in modem Jewish history, an hour/ event that gave Tikvah (Hope) to a despondent people after the Dreyfus era. The uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto, with its heroic and tragic end, was such a Finest Hour in the dark Holocaust era. Modem Israel is rich with such Fine Hours: 1948, Entebbe, the first plane of redeemed Jews from the Soviet Union arriving in Tel Aviv. These are the moments of which the Finest Hours are constructed. And now, I repeat the question: Where and when did American Jewry produce such aFinest Hour, an inspiring moment that might beautify the history of our community, inspire our young, nurture our future? Yes, we campaigned, we solicited pledges, we organized, we displayed generosity, we proclaimed We Are One and all this will be remembered and duly recorded. But the shining moment, the single great event that shall be recognized as the Finest Hour of American Jewry remains elusive. Is it possible that such a moment is still to be a part of our future in this land? I doubt it. How about you? tters Thanks from Adath On behalf of the entire Adath Jeshurun Congregation, I want to thank the American Jewish World for the coverage of the dedication of our new synagogue. We appreciate your assistance in helping the entire Twin Cities Jewish community share in our joy. We also wish to extend our sincere appreciation to the entire community for the support and well wishes that we have received. This is especially true for the Minneapolis Talmud Torah, the Jewish Community Center of Greater Minneapolis, and our sister congregations. For two years, the Adath operated without a permanent home. We could not have done it without your cooperation, kindness and generosity. For that, we are truly grateful. Steven Krikava Dedication Weekend Steering Committee Better luck to library It is, of course, good news to hear that another attempt is being made to establish a Russian-language Judaic library (7-21-95 AJW). Let me stress why I use another. In 1985, whenlwas on Sabbatical at Tel Aviv University and was then incoming chair of the Soviet Jewry Committee for the JCRC, I met Tzvee Netzer, then chair of Aliyah Press. Netzer was well known for his efforts for Soviet Jewry. I arranged for the Soviet Jewry Committee to purchase 135 volumes of Judaic literature translated into Russian for a Soviet-Jewish immigrant library at the Minneapolis JCC. However, the books were catalogued at the JCC library, and over the next five years proceeded to disappear, one by one. This was probably a mixture of absence of responsibility by those who took out the books, and due to the fact that the JCC library then, and now, has no serious monitoring system. It is relief to know that the new library will have a home at the Talmud Torah. Maybe what remains of the JCC library should also be sent over to Talmud Torah and the room can be used for something meaningful. Stephen Feinstein Former Chair, Minnesota Action Committee Letters should be relevant, brief and legible, preferably typed double spaced on one side of page. All letters become our property, are printed at our discretion and are subject to editing. Letters should be signed and include a return address and phone number. American kosher laws under attack Shechita and its myriad laws are constantly under attack from the animal-rights extremists who can barely conceal Judeopathy under the thin guise of kindness to animals. Now the related matter of thekashrut of meat is being threatened by none other than Uncle Sam. The 7-28-95 AJW article detailed the USDAs proposed new regulations regarding the treatment of meat in slaughterhouses and how it will adversely impact the soaking and salting of kosher meat. The proposal would require that all meat and poultry be washed in an anti-microbial solution and behandled, stored and shipped at a temperature below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Personally, I dont want to eat any food thats been doused with a government specified chemical, do you? This is the same USD A that has approved aspartame, rat hairs, insect parts, tree rosin and wood chips for inclusion in our food products. One could say that the regulations are being developed with the best of intentions, i.e. to prevent illness from meat. If the recent tragic incidents of meat related illness and death are truthfully examined, it will be found that stupidity and laziness in preparation were what facilitated the attack of the microbes. Although Jews salt meat because G-d commanded the removal of blood, we are given the practical benefit that sodium chloride is a highly effective anti-microbial solution and is essential for most diets. I never became ill from the meat that my mother kashered in her kitchen, which was free from USD A inspectors and the already staggering array of rules and regs. On the obvious, secular level, more regulations by an overreaching bureaucracy only serve to hinder businesses in a free-market economy, limit competition and destroy jobs. This is a prime example of the federal government trying to protect people from their own mistakes. From a Jewish perspective, these rules are unnecessarily intrusive and should be seen as an attack on our religion, albeit possibly not an intentional one. It is germane to recall the words of the previous LubavitcherRebbe, J.I. Schneersohn, ashewas leaving for Spalemo Prison in Soviet Russia in 1927: We must proclaim openly that wherever our religion, our Torah, and its commandments are concerned, no one can tell us what to do, no power of coercion must be used against us. If you think that losing kosher hot dogs is a trivial matter, think of what could be next. Paul S.

"transcription": "AUGUST 18, 1995 AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD PAGE 5 Ribbons cut, trumpets herald dedication of Adath Jeshurun building By MARSHALL HOFFMAN Managing Editor Now that they have pews to pack, members of Adath Jeshurun Congregation packed the pews in their new sanctuary at dedication ceremonies this past Sunday for the opening of their new $10.4 million building in Minnetonka. It feels really wonderful, said the congregations Rabbi Harold Kravitz. Its an extraordinary moment in the life of this community and the life of this congregation. We look forward to many wonderful years serving this community. During ceremonies, the congregations senior rabbi, Rabbi Barry Cytron, noted that the building can transform a congregation of Jews into a Jewish congregation. May we make this building a sanctuary, he said, preceding a fanfare of trumpets, which in turn preceded the ceremony of affixing a mezuza to the sanctuary doors. Associate Building Committee Chair Scott Bader said it has been a fantastic three years forme. Its been personally enriching and fulfilling. I realized how much apart of the Adath community Ive become. Architecture and Building Chair Irene Bartram thanked the 300 volunteers who assisted in the buildings completion. Today, we give the building to you, your children and their children so that they may find (joy and) comfort here. She was presented with a plaque by New Building Steering Committee Co-Chair Mel Orenstein for her nearly three years of volunteer efforts in coordinating the building efforts. I hope your reward will be in every time you walk into this building, Orenstein told her. Fundraising Co-Chair Jules Levin, who worked with Dan Heilicher to raise close to $ 10 million (much of that from five families), said the congregation will have a small mortgage. But its just unbelievable that weve raised that much money from a small number of people. The synagogues original budget was $7.5 million, then $8.5 million and lastly $10.5, and thats it, said Levin. Ive never seen anything carried off so well, and with such enthusiasm of all the people involved. And while its a first-class building, its very down-to-earth and livable. It doesnt look like a huge structure, its a haimishe-typc thing. Adath J eshurun President N orman Pink called the dedication a great honor and a great moment in my life. The honor of building a building is to be savored not only today but for all the days to come. Someday, Pink said, congregants will appreciate the visionaries of yesterday who made this dream a reality of today, a reference to synagogue officials who bought the Minnetonka acreage close to three decades ago. A commissioned art piece done by local multi-media artist Renanah Halpem was also presented at the ceremonies, which art consultant Sharon Zweigbaum called a masterful and poetic gift to our congregation. Past Adath President Joyce Orbuch was also pleased with the new structure. Now, its about filling it with people and programs and noise. Cantor Scott Buckner called the sanctuary acoustics wonderful and said he has never been a part of anything as exciting. The commitment and work put into this inspired me. Thats one thing that inspired me to move here (from the East Coast) was the vibrancy, warmth and commitment of this congregation. Its the beginning of many good things. In the synagogues library, librarian Marilyn Burstein called it a librarians fantasy with an inviting atmosphere and beautiful lighting. Many of her suggestions were incorporated into the design, she noted. There should be a nice place for members to read, she argued, because were people of the book. Rabbi Kassel Abelson, emeritus of Beth El Synagogue, said the building was magnificent and worthy of the congregation that will occupy it. A number of politicians also attended the ceremonies. The synagogue really penetrates the soul, said U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone, whose father was welcomed as a member of Adath Jeshurun at a time of familial burial needs. Half the building Shown clockwise from the top at the dedication ceremonies for the new Adath Jeshurun Synagogue in Minnetonka are: Rabbi Harold Kravitz affixing the mezuza on the door to the sanctuary; Architecture and Building Chair Irene Bartram in front of the doors of the ark; leaders of the congregation led a Torah procession through the filled sanctuary; and Rabbi Barry Cytron placed Torahs in the ark. New synagogue logo in center. (Photos: Mordecai Specktor) is dedicated to children and education, which I love! The weekend of festivities and busy activity seemed almost like a second High Holidays service for members of Adath this year, according to State Rep. Ron Abrams, IR-Minnetonka. As a congregant, Im really excited, said Abrams, who had his Bar Mitzva at Adath in 1965. As a parent of two small boys, ages 9 and 7, this will be a facility that will be greatly used by our family for generations. Its hard to imagine we would do it, concluded Immediate Past President Mel Goldberg. It shows you the strength of the congregation. The congregation is about its people, not the building, he said, though it may be hard to live up to that! And after the long and intense planning and building process, the people were ready to sit in the pews. Im glad its over! said Goldberg. *** AJW Staff Writer Mordecai Specktor contributed to this story. 1 I I V P| A GOOD SUMMER The Bnai Emet Early Childhood Departments Camp Ahava provided summer activities for 117 children.

Yosef will discuss how he is transforming an old garbage landfill into a haven for resident and migratory birds. Preserving the natural environment around Eilat is a special concern for Yosef. He has warned that proposed developments a pseudo-Disney world in the heart of the desert, planting exotic trees to create a new forest, and construction of wind-driven turbines to generate electricity will harm the existing environment. With the opening of the borders between Jordan and Israel, an even greater influx of tourists are visiting the Eilat area, which is rapidly developing into a booming resort area on the Red Sea.

In addition to a successful career in public radio, she set up her own production company in 1983. Marketing cassettes like Late Bloomer: Stories of Successful Aging, Connie chalked up another first by using interviews with older Americans to jab holes in the stereotype of the useless-on-the-shelf senior. Now a grandmother herself, Connie was as usual dressed in trendy chic and moving at top speed as she chatted with old friends and followed famed photographer Richard Avedon and local notables around at last months opening of Avedons exhibit at the Minneapolis Art Institute. Connies been a friend of Avedons since July 1, 1970. That was the day when, as a reporter for KUOM, the University of Minnesota radio station, she was part of a crowd of reporters trying to interview him as he installed his first exhibit at the Art Institute. When Avedon finally escaped from the media crowd and went to the park across the street to relax, Connie followed him and sat down to chat. Then she nervously asked, May I turn on my tape recorder? Avedon said yes, and thus began what Richard Avedon who had Dear Gail, My 77-year-old mother has been living with my husband and myself for 3-1/2 years. She has Alzheimers, and it is getting to the point where we cant take care of her anymore and need to put her in the Jewish home. My sister, who lives in Chicago, says its cruel to do that.

It also began a friendship that continues to this day. Since 1970 Connie has interviewed Avedon three other times: in 1977, 1985, and again this year. The result is her 30-minute recorded tour of the exhibit plus a longer tape, Richard Avedon A Sound Portrait in which Avedon, now 72 years old, talks about his father, Jacob Israel Avedon, and shares his ideas on things like the truthfulness of photography, and how he works.

MORE ON THE HOLOCAUST Kay Bonner Nee of Fridley made a two-day trip to Washington as a special guest for the premiere of Nightmares and the Liberation of the Camps at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Nightmares, which has since been shown on cable television and hopefully willbeonpublicTV sometime soon, is a British-made documentary film in which Nee describes Buchenwald as she saw it a few hours after its surviving prisoners were liberated by American soldiers. A reception at the British ambassadors home and a V.I.P. ticket to tour the Holocaust Museum were also part of Nees thank you from British filmmaker Rex Bloomstein. An unexpected surprise was a Washington public radio interview by former-Twin Ci tian Norm Sherman. Nee toured the front lines as a Special Services entertainer during World War II. After the war she went to work for WCCO-TV and became the first woman television producer in the Midwest. Hermemo-ries of Buchenwald are included in the JCRC- funded book Witnesses to the Holocaust: An Oral History, published by Twayne/Macmillan in 1990 and listed in the ADLs nationally-distributed catalog of educational materials.

She also has a grant from the Aaron Copland Fund to produce two CDs of her instrumental music. Shuly Rubin Schwartz is the author of We Married What We Wanted To Be, an article on rebbetzins as unsung heroes and partners in a two-person career. Writing in the June issue of American Jewish History, she cites Bertha Friedman Aronson, whose husband, Rabbi David Aronson, led Minneapolis Beth El Synagogue from 1929 to 1957, as a rebbetzin own rather than just playing a supportive role for her husband. Bertha took the Sisterhood presidency, she said, to encourage young women to get involved, and went on to become a leader in National Womens League and other Jewish womens groups. Photo I.D. parties at Bnai Israel Synagogue in Rochester are turning out to be a good beginning in putting together an ongoing history of the congregation.

"transcription": "AUGUST 18, 1995 AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD PAGE 9 Bob Dylan stole the show at Websters Herzl Camp By RANDY HANSON Before he was a rock n roll legend, Bob Dylan enjoyed some carefree days at Herzl Camp in northern Wisconsin. He was still Bobby Zimmerman, son of a furniture store owner from Hibbing, Minn., when he attended the Jewish camp on Devils Lake near Webster for parts of four or five summers. Around the Herzl campfires, Bobby did some of his first singing and original poetry recitations, Laurence A. Schlesinger writes in On The Tracks, a Dylan fan magazine. Schlesinger quotes fellow Herzl camper Steve Friedman as saying, He used to sing just like Jerry Lee Lewis, a dazzling imitation. Hed play a piano while standing up and everything. Dylan was in his early teens when he first attended the Jewish youth camp in the summer of 1954. Three years after his last visit in 1958, he recorded his first album at CBS S tu-dios in New York and was on the highway to fame. The singer, songwriter and poet started performing at Herzl Camp, according to Robert Shelton, author of No Direction Home: The Life and Music of Bob Dylan. He loved the swimming and didnt seem to mind speaking Hebrew. But by his late 16th birthday things were getting too tame. He had begun some singing around the campfires there, Shelton writes. To perk things up, Bob and six lads climbed to the roof of the shower house, pulling their ladders up after them. They sang, yelled and taunted their counselors until the rabbi read them a sermon below the mount that got them back on the ground. Shelton quotes Dylans father, Abe, as saying, Bobby just about took over the whole camp that year. I thought they were going to send him home. The story amuses Marlene Bukstein, the camps office manager and information specialist. To this very day we still are pulling boys off of that very roof, she Bob Dylan spent quite a few summers at Herzl Camp. says, laughing. According to Bukstein, todays campers are well aware they are treading the same sandy ground as their famous predecessor. The past couple of summers, however, they have been more interested in Dylans son-in-law, Peter Himmelman of St. Louis Park, Minn. Whenever they mentioned Peter, we always had to say, Yes, but his father-in-law was pretty famous. Himmelman is married to Dylans daughter Maria, who also has attended Herzl Camp. Dylan isnt the only celebrity with ties to the camp. WCCO-TV sportscasterMark Rosen is an alumnus, along with Tom Friedman, a writer for theNew York Times. Businessman Louis Kemp of Kemp Fisheries was a Herzl camper, too. Bukstein says the camp was founded nearly 50 years ago to give Jewish youth a place to socialize. Members of most religious groups whether Catholic, Lutheran or Jewish want their children to marry within their faith, she points out. Herzl Camp is a place where Jewish youth from across the country make friends, and sometimes meet their future spouse.

Call Bill Wolpert at 930-5658 for further information. rfft BURNFT REALTY MLS taJ a Shades, says Dylan was very mindful of the opposite sex while at Herzl. He claims Dylan spent his time there working on ways of impressing the girls. It was there that he met Judy Rubin, who would later be an important woman in his life, though at this time theirs was an innocent enough friendship, according to Heylin. He seemed to perceive camp as just another audience to impress, Heylin says of Dylan. In the early years, much of the teaching at Herzl Camp focused on establishing the modem nation of Israel. The camp is named after Theodor Herzl, a Jew from Russia who in 1897 called for the founding of a Jewish state. Bukstein says a lot of the programs still center around Israel, but its now more of an activity camp, not geared to heavy-duty learning. Name it. We do it, she says, listing arts and crafts, sports, music, drama, publication of a camp newspaper and study sessions as things campers participate in. About 750 youngsters, from third graders to high school seniors, will visit Herzl Camp this summer, according to Bukstein. The camp takes about 250 youngsters at a time. Most of the campers are from the Twin Cities, but St. Louis, Omaha and Kansas City are well-represented as well. Some come from more distant locations. Last summer, a couple that had moved to Japan sent their children back to the U.S. so they wouldnt miss the Herzl camping experience. The spacious camp lies on a level tractof land above the western shore of Devils Lake, about a mile north of Webster. Visitors are greeted by a picture of Golda Meir, an early prime minister of Israel, at the end of their drive in from Highway 35 beneath a canopy of pines. Bukstein says Webster has been a gracious host to the camp. The community is wonderful. I love Webster. I love the people. They do open their arms. I cant say enough good things about the atmosphere and the people in Webster, she says. Plans are being made to invite Dylan back to the camp to celebrate its 50th anniversary next summer. The invitation might be extended through his son-in-laws family, Bukstein speculates, adding that Dylan visits the Twin Cities from time to time. She knows he has a reputation as an eccentric and hopes the invitation to revisit a teen-age stomping ground strikes a chord. It would be a real draw for our benefit, Bukstein says. It would be really nice if we could get him up here. *** This article originally appeared in the Inter-County Leader of Frederic, Wisconsin.

A VISIT TO CAMP Synagogue Education Directors (1 to r) Missy Lavintman (B'nai Emet), Mary Baumgarten (Beth El) and Susie Tatarka (Adath Jeshurun) recently visited the Minnesota campers at Camp Ramah. The trio visited their classes and activities and shared treats with them. They may be off to college, but we can keep them close to home. College students cant learn everything from a textbook or in the classroom. And maintaining a Jewish identity is always a challenge in school. Some campus newspapers are not always kind to Jewish interests. So why not start the college student in your family off on the right foot with a specail student subscription to the American Jewish World? They can stay connected to the Jewish com- munity in Minnesota, the Upper Midwest, across the country , in Israel and around the world. Sutdents can enjoy their own weekly subscription throughout the academic year (Sept. 8,1995 through May 24,1996), and all for a special rate of only $10. Simply fill out the form below with a $10 payment to the American Jewish World and we'll start supplementing your student's education. After all, it's their World, too. Yes! I want to register a student for The American Jewish World Student Subscription Program. I have enclosed my special $10 payment to AJW.

Deut. 3:23) Moses is continuing his address to the Israelites before his passing. He reviews the events of the past 40 years since they were freed from Egyptian slavery. Also, he points out their failings, encourages them to strengthen their faith and trust in G-d, and assures them that G-d will always be with them. There are certain verses in this text that are particularly stirring and have become part of our daily liturgy. In the daily Alenu prayer, we read: And you shall know this day, and take unto your heart that Adonai (G-d) is Elohim (G-d), in the heavens above and upon the earth below, there is nothing else. This passage really says it all. If we could only assure ourselves that in truth there is no one and nothing else besides the presence of G-d, then our lives would certainly be wonderful and life would have new meaning. And you shall know....that G-d is G-d: There is a Hassidic story told of a young married man who left his home to study Torah in the court of the Magid of Mezritch (the disciple and successor of the Baal Torah Thought for the Week Rabbi Asher Zeilingold Adath Israel Synagogue, St. Paul, Sponsor Shem Tov). When he returned home after a long period, his father-in-law angrily demanded to know what he had achieved in Mezritch that could justify his having left his family. In Mezritch I learned that there is a G-d, was the reply. The father-in-law called in the maidservant and asked her, Do you know that there is a G-d? Yes, of course I know there is a G-d, she replied. Everyone knows there is a G-d. The man then turned to his son-in-law in anger and disbelief. You had to go to Mezritch to learn something that even an ignorant maid knows?! The son-in-law replied with sincerity: She says there is a G-d, but in Mezritch I learned to know there Frances Minda of Temple Israel dies at 96 Frances Salinger Minda (Mrs. Albert), age 96, a long time community leader, died inherhome August 8 from cancer. She was the widow of Rabbi Albert G. Minda who was Rabbi and Rabbi Emeritus atTemple Israel, Minneapolis, from 1922 to 1977. Frances Minda grew up in South Bend, Indiana. She attended Michigan and Notre Dame universities and worked as a womens page editor for the South Bend Tribune after college. Her interests and outlook continued to be contemporary throughout her life. When she was in her late 80s, she took a computer course. Even into her mid-90s, she continued to be active in a number of community organizations. On the occasion of her 95th birthday, during a special Temple Israel service in her honor, she commented that she preferred not to count the candles but just enjoy the glow. Her son Roland Minda commented: My parents brought leadership, warmth and caring to so many in this community. Their legacy serves as an example to all of us who loved them. Frances Minda is survived by son Roland and Merle Minda, Minneapolis; grandchildren Lisa Segal and Arthur Strimling, New York City, NY; Daniel Segal, Los Angeles, CA; Matthew Segal, Boulder, CO; sister Harriet Iglauer, Cincinnati, OH, and many loving relatives and friends.

You shall know this day This is not to imply we should know only today, and not tomorrow. Rather, it tells us our conviction that G-ds presence pervades all existence should be as clear and with the same measure of certainty with which we are convinced that today is today and we do not need extraneous proof that it is so. And take unto your heart Sometimes we can know and even understand something in our mind, but it remains there and does not effect the way we go about our daily life. Our knowledge and conviction of G-ds omnipresence should bring us to interpret events and order our lives in accordance with G-ds constant presence and providence. That Adonai (G-d) is Elohim (G-d)The name of G-d, Adonai, denotes G-d as He transcends nature. Elohim has the same numerical equivalent as the Hebrew word HaTevah, meaning nature, and so Elohim is G-d as He suffuses natural law and physical energy. Adonai is Elohim G-d, who is far removed from any physical or corporeal characteristic, the same G-d who is a real part of our daily lives. This fundamental teaching is further emphasized in the next phrase: In the heavens above and upon the earth below. We might assume that G-d is only in heaven, in a place or time which is intrinsically holy, such as a house of prayer or the holy days. In truth, G-d is here with us every moment of our lives and there is nothing else.
