seem to regard it with great fa-

The talmudic word for dice, dubya,

Two New Immigrants
Get Painful Welcome,
but Are Recovering
JERUSALEM—Jack Greenblatt,
29, formerly of Brooklyn, and Irina
Voronova, 17, recently arrived
from Leningrad, are recovering
in Jerusalem's Shaare Zedek Hos-
pital following a grenade explo-
sion which injured 16 people
Oct. 9.
The three Arab wounded' were
taken to the government hospital
in the Old City, while the 13 Jew-
ish casualties were rushed to
Shaare Zedek Hospital, which has
a long history of caring for the
victims of terrorist attacks, includ-
ing the Mahane Yehuda and Super-
sol incidents.
By Tuesday morning, all patients
had been released from Shaare
Zedek except for Greenblatt and
Irina.
Surgeon Dr. Shimon Gelfand,
himself a new immigrant from
Moscow who arrived in Israel only
six months ago, began speaking to
the 17-year-old girl in their native
tongue and she immediately re-
sponded.
She was rushed to the emergency
unit's operating room, and Dr.
Gelfand removed over 100 pieces
of shrapnel from her body.
The girl's family has lived in
Leningrad for generations. When
they applied for visas to leave
the Soviet Union in 1969, Irina
was dismissed from school and
from the Komsomol youth organ-
ization.
"We waited so long to come
here," her mother says, "and we
have been so happy these past
three months in Israel . . . then
this?'
Greenblatt was immediately op-
erated upon by Shaare Zedek's
head of the department of surgery,
Dr. A. Steiner. The patient was
seriously wounded in the abdo-
men and, following surgery, is re-
covering in the hospital.
Dr. Theodore Fmk, Shaare Ze-
dek's deputy director of medi-
cine, is himself a new immigrant
from New York.

The Gambling Bug
PARIS (JTA)—An East Ger-
man association of former prison-
ers, "The Union of Former Buch-
enwald-Dora Detainees," an-
nounced that former gestapo of-
ficial, Klaus Barbie, is living in
LaPaz, Bolivia, under the as-
sumed name of "Wilm."
The association said it has so
informed Manfred Ludolph, the
West German state prosecutor in
charge of investigations and pros-
ecutions of Nazi crimes.
The association did not say how
it managed to locate the former
Nazi official, nor will it release
his exact address.
Mrs. Beate Klarsfeld has been
invited by Ludolph to testify on
the facts known by her about the
Barbie case, it was revealed here.
Mrs. Klarsfeld was to arrive

means lots. Haman played bingo,
cast lots, on which day the Jews
were to be annihilated. Haman's
game of bingo didn't turn out so
well for him.
A Jewish woman wrote a book
against card-playing, in which she
made the argument that the nu-
merology of the Hebrew letters
for cards and that of Satan were
identical.
As to moderate card playing
as a pastime, on the whole the
Jewish position has been toler-
ant. There is the story of the
poor Jewish woman of Prague
who came crying to the rabbi
that she was about to be evicted
from her home. She had no
money to pay the rent. The rabbi
went looking for the president
of the synagogue to see if some-
thing couldn't be done. He final-
ly found the president and some
companions around a table play-
ing cards- When the players saw
the rabbi approaching, they tried
to hide the cards. "Keep_ play-
ing," cried the rabbi. The men
continued with the game and at
the end the rabbi appropriated
the winnings to pay the rent of
the poor woman.
The most famous Jewish work
against gambling was written in
the 17th Century by a rabbi who
was himself a compulsive gam-
bier.: Leon of Xodena was a
Scholar; not only in rabbinies,. but
also in the secular field. His eru-

books, and his book against gam-
bling was a best seller in several
languages, translated into Latin,
German and other tongues. The
thesis of the work was that gam-
bling was like playing on the edge
of a roof. If a gambler fully real-
ized the results of it, he would re-
frain. But Leon of Modena never
refrained. The edge of the roof
always fascinated him.
